the ELECTION BILL,

lilo Effect tf Senator Qlny'A Resolution.
Tho Compromise will bo On One Side.
Spec'as hsSafch 10 The Intesiiotnctr.
WASHINGTON, D. O., August l5.-There
are any number OF rumors to-day as to
the result OF last nights Senate caucus
on the Election bill. The one appa-
rent result is that no definite action was
taken and that none may be taken at
this session. The advocates Of tho bill
are very firm. They are receiving all
possible support from the House, and
have by no means abandoned hope Of
getting the bill up Immediately after the
tariff bill.
One very plausible rnmor is to the Of
ieet that compromise will be made
with the Democrats by which the tariff
bill will be passed in short order, and q
lew speeches made on the Elections bill,
which will then be hung up till next
December. While this report sounds
very pretty, there is probably no more
truth in it than in any OF the others
A compromise Of some kind is likely,
but it will be between the Republicans,
and Democrats will not be in it.
Meanwhile the action OF the House is
to be considered, aud rs Quay's resolu-
ton is said to be chiefly for their benefit,
il they decline TO be benefited thereby,
they may yet force the Senate into line.

NEw York, August 5-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review Of trade says: The
Industries are doing rather less and the
spectators are doing more. Tha, is The
weeks history in brief. The general
average OF prices Of commodities is rap.
idly rising, and has advanced more than
y per cent during the past week. Wheat
has advanced ~ cents, oats l cent, and
corn declined cents. Pork ia so cents
per barrel lower. Coffee is unchanged
Oil has risen q cents.
A heavy decline appears in the weekly
output Of pig iron, which was lGl 79S
tons August !, against It's. .727 July / and
l60,79 June l. The decrease is altrib
uted mainly to the close OF furnaces for
repairs, but last year the production in.
creased S 600 tons from June to August
], and it is noticed that some Southern
works, which were to have begun omar.
ating two months ago, are still WAITING.
Prices show little change though one
large Southern concern is reported to be
cutting liberally.
The wool manufacture shows no i'm.
provement, and many makers express
growing disgust at the scantiness oj
purchases. except for the cheaper grades,
Wool does not advance, and the heavy
imports OF goods continue.
Coal is very dull and the OUTPUT still
falls below last year. n
Dry goods jobbers note that Southern
aud Western buyers are more numerous
in this market than usual, but while cot
ton goods are we'll sold UP the lemanC
for woolens is only fair. Chicago notei

A DASTAIDLY ACT.


An Atlantic City Excursion Train wrecke,
by Obstrnc,Ions Placed on ihu Track.
PIrrsnuRon, Pa, August 15.-A das
tardly attempt was made last night t
wreck an Atlantic City excursion trair
on tho Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad, at q
point twenty miles from this city, where
the road runs along the Youghiogheny
river, thirty feet above the water. The
attempt was partially successful and re-
suited In tho almost total demolition OF
the engine. and the death Of two engi.
neers and a tramp. Fortunately the pas.
Bengers escaped with slight cuts and
bruises. Their names were: Yankee
Sullivan, OF Pittsburgh, one Of the oldest
engineers on the road; Daniel Goodwin,
engineer OF the eastern division, who
was riding in the cab; and an unknown
man, supposed 10 be tramp, riding be.
tween the tender and baggage cars. Fire.
man King was painfully but not danger
ously injured.
The train, which consisted OF three
sleepers aud baggage car, was crowded
With cxcursionsts bound for the sea.
shore. 1t was late in getting away from
the city, and was proceeding at q rapid
pace to make up time. Near Osceola
Station. twenty miles south Of this city,
an obstruction was encountered. There
was d terrific crash and the engine was
thrown over the embankment. The cars
ran along the rails for distance OF fifty
leet, when they fell over on the west
bound track toward tho hillside. The
engine was completely wrecked. Sulli-
van, Goodwin and the tramp were
crushed beneath the timbers and were
killed almost instantly. King, the fire. |
man, was thrown into tree, thirty feet |
away, and escaped with serious bruises.
The sleepers were not badly damaged,
but the passengers were badly fright.
ened. All escaped, however, with few
bruises and slight cuts from broken
glass.
An Investigation showed that a delib.
crate and 6endish attempt had been
made to wreck the train. Four ties had
been placed securely between and on
the rails. Fortunately the work of the
wreckers was frustrated by the cara fall.
Ing on the wes..bound side. If they had
followed the engine and gone over the
into tho river the loss
ot life would have been frightful. The
motive for the deed cannot be surmised,
but thorough investigation will be
made by the railroad comnanv and
avery effort made to bring the culprits
10 justice. -"
The most plausible theory advanced as
% be the motive OF the wreckers is that
hey intended to wreck high class
reight train which usually precedes the
Pacific Express. Last night, however,
he first section Of the express WAS sent
'ut ahead OF the freight train. The ex-
