1t will be seen that the five St. Louis
players, and five mediocre players they
are, too, by the way get $23, 900, or an
average of $4,000 each, while Duffy,
Ryan and Farrell, the cracks of the team,
are the lowest salaried men in the list.
But there are other interesting figures.

HIRING III BY SCOTLAND
NECK.

In these days Of hustle and str
and railroad bulldog, there is always
some new avenue opening M to
those who wish TO enter.
There is now plan being matur,
cd TO run railroad from Charleston
Sc. the nearest route to Norfolk,
Va. 1t is proposed to run from
Charleston to Georgetown, 5. c..
then TO Norfolk by one oftwo routes.
One route ia FROM Georgetown to
Wilmington, then on to Norfolk, the
most direct lint; and the other is
from Georgetown directly to Tarboro
and then TO Norfolk.
Now, it matters little TO Scotland
Neck which one OF these lines is
taken. II Wilning,on is left out
then the road would ruu directly TO
Tarboro, missing WilDington 90 or
so miles. TIE question for Scotland
Neck to consider is. can that road
be brought by this placer Already
we have allowed a great through
line from Norfolk to Raleigh to pass
within hearing OF US. That road can
do US no harm, on The Othe' hand
will do Us good. But how much
more good would it 10 US il VIC had
it right through the town ms cad OF
six miles below US
TIE DEMOCRAT believes now that
ifpropcr steps had been taken in
time tic trains from Norfolk to Tar
boro would have been rafting
through Scotland Neck Slx months
ago. If the company had crossed
the river higher up they would have
avoided the great expense OF SO many
thousands Of yards Of trestle work
at the river and so would have saved
ak month"; We believe if our peo-
pie bad taken active steps in time
they could have induced the road to
come here.
However, that matter is settled;
but We speak Of it TO stow the greet
necessity of being In time. 1t Is not
positively tA01cM to us that the road
IL question will be built, but there is
such possibility and perhaps pro
liability. Neither was it knOtUn 10
us four years ago that the Norfolk
and Carolina road would be built;
but it was suggested, an2 we favor
Cd then the idea OF taking prompt
action to bring it to Scotland Neck
The matter is worth looking into,
and VIC do earnestly urge our people,
that If there ia any sure or remote
prospect of road from Charleston
to Norfolk, let it by all means be
brought by Scotland Neck. With
our new life. q manufacturing spirit
peryading cur community, it will not
be impossible to get the road here in
The event it is built at all. We can
not afford to be Indifferent, Let us
he on The alert.

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-The commit ee
amendment placing sponges on the fire list
was lost; yeas, IS; nays, 80; and rate of
duty of copper cent. ad valorem inserted.
The paragraph relating to fish on the du-
table list was then taken up, the question
being on the finance committees substi-
tute for the House paragraph which fixed
duty Of l cent pound on fish, fresh or
sailed. The committee amendment fixes
the duty at 4 cent a pound.
Gray offered an amendment providing
that such fish shall be admitted fee of duty
from any country that admits American
fishing vessels into their ports for the pur-
chase Of supplies, including bait. Gray's
amendment was rejected, and the committee
substitute, slightly modified, agreed to-
The paragraph now reads: ''t'ish, smoked

After some discussion the paragraph re-
garding the duty on fish was amended
to read as follows: "Fresh fish caught by

The Austrian Alliance-Herbert Bismarck
VIII Use his Influence With his Father
in Favor of Silence

BERLIN, Sept. g. Copyright, 1890 by the
New York Associated Press. Emperor
William, General Won Moltke, General Won
Goltze, Count Won Waldersee, Archduke
Stephen and Admiral Sterneck, of the
Austrian navy, today watched on board
the flag ship Baden the maneuvers of the
fleet in F'lensburger ford. The opinions
of both British and Austrian officers con-
cur as to the admirable condition of the
German feet and the wonderful develop.
ments of the navy. Public interest
in the maneuvers is slight, but
the Emperor has kept attention
conferred upon his movements by suggestive
utterances at official banquets, obviously
aiming to proclaim steadfast adherence to
the Austrian alliance.
The ReichsGlzeiger publishes an official
vetsion of the speeches, which is calcu-
lated to soothe Austrian iealousies arising
over the Peterhof interviews and prepares
the way for a conference with Emperor
Francis during the maneuvers in Silesia.
| Government circles are agitated over the
new project for the reform OF the herren-
haus, initiated by the Emperor under the
instigation of Herr Miguel. 1t is the
| intention of the government to so reorgan-
ize the herrenhaus as to destroy the con-
sentative majority in that house, hostile to
the social reforms proposed by his majesty.
One repoot is that the ministers approve
of still more radical scheme of reorgau-
izing the house on a basis akin to modern
ideas of senatorial representation. In con-
nection with this Herr Miguel and Herr,
Furth, have prepared bill which proposes
the abolition of the seignorial privileges
still possessed by land owners in east and
west Prussia, Brandenburg, Pomerania,
Posen, Silesia and Prussia, and the system
by which local elections are controlled and
local government held in the grip of these
feudal superiors. The supreme motive of
the government is the conviction that social
reforms are impossible without prior
sweeping away of these legislative obsta-
! cles.

Terrible Wreck on the Rio Grande.

DENVER, Colo, Sept 6.-(Special tele-
gram TO THE HERALD. Two car loads of
Italian laborers were started west from
Pueblo early this morning for work on the
track below Glenwood Springs and at
Tennessee tunnel Eleven of them were
from this city and thirty seven from
Pueblo. They were in two old day coaches
attached to the first section of freight No.
81, which was closely followed by second
section. When near mile post 1873, four
miles east of Florence a portion of the
first section left the track, and before
proper signals could be sent back the sec
ond section came crashing into them with
terrific force, smashing the old coaches
into splinters and mixing the forty eight
men in an inextricable mass with
the broken timbers All of the train men
on the first section escaped as they
were looking after the derailed cars. So
violent was the conclusion that portion
of the wreck was thrown upon the Santa
Fe track, which here runs near that of the
Rio Grande. Five laborers were taken
from the wreck dead and terribly crushed.
Forty three others were all more or less
injured, and were removed as fast as pos
sible to Florence, Cool creek and Canon
City, where local surgeons attended them.
An extra train conveyed surgeons sent
from this city, and their number was added
TO at Pueblo. Everything possible was
done for the injured men. The Italian con-
sui here was notified early, and at the re-
quest of the railroad officers went to
Florence to look after his injured country
men, several of whom, it is believed, can
not survive. All of them are Italians, some
newly arrived, but quite number have
families in Pennsylvania, where they have
been working in the coal mines. In addi-
tion to the other damages seven cars of
fruit in the first section and two in the
second section were badly damaged. The
track was not cleared until this evening.
The dead are H. L. Winters Idaho
Springs, Colorado; Jonathan Falks, Pueblo;
A. NJ. Meyer, Pueblo; James Donovan,
Pueblo; C. B. Williams, Leadville.
Those most seriously injured are James
