The Force Bill.

Just before the Senate adjourned yester'
day evening Mr.. Hear gave notice OF two
amendments which he would cf1er to-day
to the Quay resolution. One was the reso-
luton for change of the rules which he
had offered on the Oh instant providing
that when a bill or resolution shall ma We

be in order for any Senator to demand that
debate thereon be closed. The other wss to

ness; and that, on the 4sh of September, al

amendments shall begin, and shall continue
from day to day, to the exclusion OF all other
business, uotl they are disposed of.
Senator Edmunds has volunteered to lead
The opposition to Senator Q1ay's resolution
to postpone the force bill. There is gen.
ersl feeling in senatorial circles that Mr..
Olay has lost ground since last thursday
light, ard If he is beaten 1t will be because
ha did not strike while the iron was hot.
The influence Of the administration and the
republican press has caused many of the
would-be followers of MIR. Qlsy to pause
and re fleet. Mr.. Q1ay does not appear to
mind the scorchins he is receiving from the
eGmit i.tration organs.
AT least hnlf dozen leading republican
Senators expressed the belief yesterday that
the whole matter would be settled by private
conference between the representatives ct
the two parties aud that no formal agree
mens would be had on the floor of The Sep.

last night thae he had eight votes assured
him on the republican side of the chamber,

A Terrible Railroad Accident.

As stated in the GAZETTE, a terrible wreck &C.
cured en- the Old Colony Railroad at Quincy,
Mass, yesterday. The train jumped the track,
wreckiug the locomotive. The fourth car fell on
the engine, knock 'ng hole 10 it, through which
steam rushed, killing the fireman sud eighteen
passengers. The engineer and twenty-one pas
sengers were scaldcd by escaping steam and Others
were hurt. In the deseeut of the car hole was
torn in the bottom of it, through which many OF
the forty or fifty people were taken out. When
near Presidents bridge there was rumbling
sound, followed by an awfol crash. The three
forward cars lurchsd and left the track The
fourth Kept the rails and swept right along upon
the broken locomotive, which lay In Its way,
forcing itself right on top of it. The shock was
terrific, and it seemed as if the car went up
twenty feet in ths air. When the car descended
on the engine it swirled suddenly over, the oceu
pants being thrown violently about. Til, boiling
steam came into the car in dense clouds from the
locomotive beneath, scslding and almost sutfocat-
ing the people penned inside.
1t is thought that the accident was caused By
