AsnEvlLLE, n. O., June 1S.-Perhaps
the most destructive wreck, both in lie
and pcoperty, ever known in the history
OF the Western North Carolina railroad
occurred at Melrosc station, ut the
southern side OF saludu mountain, about
thirty.two miles from this city, on tho
Ashcyille 4 Spartauturg division, last
night. The dead are: Engineer J. J.
smyra, OF Chester, South Carolina; En-.
gineer Lewis Tunstall, Of Yorktown,
Va; Fireman W. G.. Taylor, Of Nor.

lor, for twenty years conductor on the
East Tennessee, Virginia 4 Georgia
railroad.
The injured are: G. Bower, nagman,
thigh broken; George Ricketts,, conduc.
tor, Injuries not serious, escaped by
jumping; two colored brakemen named
Foster aud Grcenlec, not dangerous
wounds.
From the apex OF Saluda mountain 10
H.ShonS, tIp nSeHc VI luc aCGtutHt,
distance Of more than three miles, there
is Il fall OF fully 500 feet. This Tact has
made the railroad authorities especially
careful ut this point aud an engine is
kept constantly there to help all trains
up and down the mountain. . The track
was very wet last night, when q coal
tihln started down, and soon after be.
ginning the descent il became evident
that the twelve loaded cars were too
much for both engines to hold
with all brakes down, and the speed
gradually Quickened under the heavy
pressure until speed Of IS miles IN
hour WAS reached, when tho tracks
spread and the entire outfit plunged
hcadlorg down the mountain with a
terrible crash, burying beneath the
broken cars, crossties and earth the brave
fellows who stood to their posts. The
loss to tho company in engines and cars
alone will reach $4,000.

bill Of the Senate Finance Committee

be reported TO the Senate as soon rs it
can be prepared showing the. effect Of
the bill upon the receipts of customs as
compared with the receipts under tho
present law, and those estimated under
the House bill. 1t is the understanding
that the debate on the bill will not begin
until about July !, in order that more
time may be given for study OF the bill.
a member OF the Finance Committee
snys TINT the Democrats iutimated that
if IN opportunity were given in advance
to study the schedules the debate would
be materially curtai!ed. The following
are the principal changes made by the
Senate Committee in the tariff bill:
The glassware classitcations are
changed and a large general reduction
has been made. Steel rails are reduced
iron SIS 10 to Sll 20 per ton; mica and
crude nickel are put on the free list;
nawed boards 81 per l,CO0 feet instead OF

than 500 pounds of sugar annually, and
sugars between l3 and l6 Dutch stand
ard, pay duty OF $40 cents per pound.
Sugars above l6 pay 10 instead Of 4.lO
cents per pound. Tobacco is unchanged.
Slight reductions are made in many
items in the agricultural schedule and ex.
porte1s OF meat are not allowed rebate
on salt in curing meats. Natural et1er-
yescing mineral waters are made free. The
duty on cotton manufactures are reduc-
ed all through the schedule, also in the
flax, hemp and jute schedule. Only
sight changes are made in wool, the
principal one being to correct typo
graphical error that the House refused
to correct. The bounty for silk and
silk cocoons raised and reeled in the
United States is stricken out. All but
tons, except agate, pearl and shell. are
made dntiable rs manufactures OF the
material OF which they arc composed
Works OF art arc taken from the free
list and made dutiable at so per cent ad
yalorem. The limitation OF $500 as tht
value Of wearing apparel a person ma,
bring into the United States is stricken
out.
The Senate Finance Committee struci
out all the changes made by the Hous'
bill in the Internal Revenue regulations
respecting the tax on tobacco, the man
ufac,ure OF vinegar from alcohol vapor
and the fortiGcation Of wines, leavinI
the law rs it stands at present. The In

HOPE IS ABANDONED Y

Work, hut Undcr Depressing
Circumstnnccs-Chc Scenes.

DUNBAR, Pa, June lS.-Therc Is not a
ray OF hope or encouragement Offered
the weary rcscuing parties at Farm Hill
mine this morning, except that they q, Q.
one day nearer tho completion Of their
work, that now grows more difficult
every hour. The loose piles Of iall,n
slate md coal In tho disuscd chambers
Of the Mahoniug mine have been passed
with but little trouble. Tho min work
is now in hand. Tho rcscuing parties
from the Mahoning arc digging through
tbs fallen wreck that reaches 10 tho roof
and arc working now within seventy
!eet Of where they expect to break Int.
the Hill Farm lead. There is as usual
conflict Of authority on this question,
as some still claim they are digging
straight through into the burning Minis,
but that they are fully 800 feet beyond
where the men are supposed to be. The
men will probably not be Obliged to dig
through the solid wall after oil. There
Is steady draft setting in towards tho
burning chambers aud It now looks as Ii
the men had made no mistake In their
calculations and will hit the nearest,
point to hairs breadth.
FEAR ANOTHER EXPLOSION. Ia.
There are even graver fears now OF ar
other explosion since an occurrence OF
this morning. About o'clock n heavy
fall was heard in tho mine, and those
standing about saw the smoke thnt had
been pouring out in very increasing
stream, suddenly stop. At tho same
time tho trip bell, away down in the
burning mine, rang out loudly. Mary
thought the men Ind reached it To give
an alarm, but this is absurd, as even if
alive, they would have been obliged 10
traverse at least 800 feet of flame before
they could have reached the bell. 1t wss
found out after that heavy fall had oc-
CURED in the main slope, and had shut
Oft the draft. This has turned tho
smoke md heat back into the chambers
in such volumes that no man could live.
The heat in the Mahoning drift Is grow
ing more intense, and only an occasional
blast from the ian makes their work
bearable. This stoppage OF the draft
will also shut in the gas and work is pre-
ceeding even more cautiously than be-
fore. Inspector Keighiey is in the leaI
every moment now, Us they expect to
break through to-day. He will make
but small opening at first aud then
make q thorough test OF the gus before
venturing farther.
LITTLE PROGRESS MADE.
Very little progress was made to-day
by the rescuing party aud tonight all
are discouraged. This evening it was
found that the opening made in the
Mahon:ng shaft was too narrow
to admit Of even one man work.

the leader had to be relieved every few
