A FIENDISH DEED.
a TRAIN THROWN FROM THE
TRACK BY ROBBERS.
One Pullman Slides Down An Embankmcnt

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 12.-The fast
west-bound express on the Central Pacific
which passed Colfax early this morning on
Its way 10 this city, was wrecked about
midway between the New England mills
and Colfax. The train passed
onto an embankment which had
been thrown up TO protect the grade. En-
gineer Eastabrook did not detect anything
wrong until the first two cars We're
slightly derailed. The baggage and the two
day coaches remained on the track, but
four Pullmans and the caboose left the
track. The Pullman sleeper Santa Cruz
turned on its side and rolled down the en-
bankment for fifty feet before its progress
was stopped. In the sleeper were
ten passengers, all asleep Ut the
time of the crash They were
ali hurled about in ruthless fashion but
miraculously escaped with u lively shaking

being the colored porter OF the

TO wreck the train. The spikes had been
drawn from seven outside rails on the outer
edge of the embankInent, just at a point
where the track makes curve. No spot
better adapted to the plot could have SecRf
selected, and it was evidently chosen in the
hope that the engineer, fireman and en-
ployes in the baggage and mail cars would
be killed as soon as the forward part of the
train struck the loosened rail. The passen-

When Booth Dodced Dead Cats.

When first saw Edwin Booth it was as
Richard at the old Chatham Street theater
in this city. He had gone on suddenly rs
substitute for his father. He WAS only
q boy, but in spite of his lankiness he made
favorable impression. Old Booth didn't
want him to be an actor, but he usually
kept the lad in his dressing room to help
him on and off with his clothes
In 1855, when Edwin was twen:y-one
years old, he came back from Australia,
with Dave Anderson, where he had been
starring in vagrant sort of way, and
landed in San Francisco At that time
Sam Colviile was the manager of the
Sacramento theater, and was stage man
ager, having left Edwin Forrest to take
the place.
While at the bay" as we used to call
Frisco" in those days, Edwin and | be
came acquainted. We put our heads t.,
gether, and the result was that we went to
Sacramento and took a theater there, be-
ing equally interested in the profits. Ed
win opened in Richard, " and played three
or four weeks quite profitably. Then sev-
eral stars came along and he supported
them. One was woman from Salt Lake
Edwin acted Claude to her Pauline and
the house was packed nightly.
Among other incidents was the engage
ment of stagestruck dancing master
named Clapp. He played Hamlet and Ed
win went on for the Ghost. and managed
to keep out of the way Of the dead cats and
decayed vegetables that were hurled at
Clapp; but it was lively and undignified
lodging for the perturbed spirit of the
Danes father.-lnterview in New York

AN EVIL WITHOUT A REMEDY.

Governor Gibbs writes TO THE GA
zETTE in behalf of Mr.. Cole, the sub
treasury member of the Dallas county
Democratic executive committee, who
was invited to retire. The governors
letter does not betray very ardent en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Cole, but the point is
adhered to that the Democratic COM
mittee had nothing to do with Mr..
Coles Democracy. The party ap-
pointed him to the committee, and the
other members OF the committee could
have nothing to say in removing him.
Perhaps" says Governor Gibbs,
''there were, as claimed, good reasons
why Mr.. Cole should not be member
of the committee, but these reasons
were not assigned, and the members of
that committee were not the proper
judges, as he held no credentials from
them"
Then We take it that Governor Gibbs
holds that there is nothing to be done
to GUST a traitor from the party coun-
ellis. perhaps there were good rea-
sons" for the deposition of Mr.. Cole,
but with ever so good reasons the COM
mittee had no power to act, is the ar
gument of Governor Gibbs and those
who hold with him. Even though
member of that committee should go,
soul and body, over to the Republican
party, and cease to be a Democrat,
there is no way to keep him out OF the
Democratic executive committee.
Though he should enter upon an active
campaign with the enemies of Democ-
acy, and do all in his power to over
throw that party, he is still member
of the executive committee, and may
as such enter into the secret councils of
the party that he may be plotting to
betray, and there is no way to get rid
of him.
We do not say that Mr.. Cole is plot
ting TO betray the Democratic party,
but we only use this as an illustration
of the effect of Governor Gibbs argu-
ment that the county executive COM
mittee cannot expel member of that
body who suffers a ''change of heart"
and goes over to the enemy.
The position is not at all tenable, and
we do not wonder that such Democrat
as Governor Gibbs should speak SO
feebly in its behalf.

Tho Alien Land Law Unconstitutional.
Waco Day.

Judge Goodrich yesterday decided the
alien law passed by the Twenty-second leg
islature and signed by Gov. Hogg to be un-
constitutional, and not in accordance with
treaties existing between the United States
government and foreign powers. The de-
cision will be no surprise to those who have
Investigated the matter, for the law clearly
fails to fulfill the constitutional require
ment that the caption shall state the inten-
tion of the law. This the caption of the
alien land law does not do. Regarding the
conflict with existing treaties, the general
government having undertaken to arrange
with foreign powers the rights which the
citizens of each shall enjoy in the territory
of the other. it seems plain that no state
legislature is competent to pass laws not
in accord with the treaties already in exist
ence. The decision of Judge Goodrich is,
as we might say, only the Fl st round in the
fight, but the bill has received two such
singing Touchdown blows that it must
come up groggy when time is called for the
next round. The case will be carried to the
supreme court at once. and a final decision
will, no doubt, be obtained at an early day.
1t is believed by the lawyers that the deci-
sion of Judge Goodrich will be affirmed, and
lovers of progress will hope that it may be

NEWS AND NOTES.

It is not definitely known who brought
the first wheat seed to America. When
this continent was discovered the 6nly &C.
real that grew here was maize. Wheat was
introduced into Britain by the Romans, and
it can be traced back for nearly 1900 years.
The first lot of sugar manufactured in
Louisiana under the new sugar bounty law
reached here yesterday. This is week
later than last year, when the first receipts
reached New Orleans as early as October
2. The crop, as it will be seen, is little
late, due to the unfavorable weather we had
in August, which seriously retarded the
growth of the cane. Grinding, however,

gun on number of plantatiOns.-T New Or

CAN preacher own fast horse? 1t
seems that in Iowa a Methodist
preacher must be careful about how
fast his horse goes. The name of W.
F. Bacon of Sabula has been stricken
from the Upper Iowa conference. Some
time ago the Rev. Mr.. Bacon bought q
a horse for $50. He had it profession
ally trained, and it developed so much
speed and quality that he sold it for
$500. With part of this money he
bought another good horse and placed
it in training. It was entered in some
local trots and won some money. It is
now recorded in the 2:37 class. Mr..
Bacon was admonished some time ago
to stop horse racing. He failed to heed
the warning. At conference, learning
that he would have to sell his stable
or withdraw from the ministry, he
chose the latter, and at his own request
was dropped. The Iowa Methodists
ought to define limit tor the speed OF
a preachers horse, SO that he will know
just how far to go.

Political injustice will certainly be

Public Highways.
Jefferson City Tribune.


The question of substantial public high
ways Is exciting interest in every part of
the state, and this will be one of the chief
matters of discussion at the numerous
farmers meetings which have been ar
ranged by the state board Of agriculture.
One thing should not be overlooked, and
that is the strict limit of the power of
county courts to levy taxes for road pur-
poses. The constitution fixes 10 cents on
the 500 valuation as maximum amount
that can be levied, and it will not be dis
puted that in majority of counties in the
state the levy is insufficient. Twice the
legislature has submitted an amendment to
the constitution authorizing county courts
to increase the levy to Is cents on the 500
in counties where, the same is deemed
necessary, but each time the amendment
was defeated, and principally by the vote
from the agricultural part of the state.
Good roads cost money, and but very
little improvement need be expected until
county courts have the power to increase
the general levy. In some counties the
people have constructed roads by private
subscriptions, but this is an unsatisfactory
method, as many will not pay unless they
are compelled to do so.
Farmers reap more benefits from good
roads than any other class of citizens. No
one wants farm in an inaccessible locality,
while one near good road is always desir
able. 1t is very important that this matter
should be made the leading feature Of the
farmers institutes. 1t is more important
than experimental farming, which, under
the most favorable circumstances, fire.
quently proves costly disappointment. All
the farmers know that corn, wheat, oats,
hay (and cotton in some localities) consti-
tute the chief products of Missouri soil, and
the farmer who does not understand the
culture and care thereof had better quit
farming. But good public roads are very
scarce in the state, and the subject of secur-
ing the same is of sufficient importance TO
demand the serious attention of every
farmer in Missouri
