Nm One Killed

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, December 27.-
The Santa Fe vestibuled limited, which
left Chicago at o'clock Saturday even
ing, was derailed at Bear Creek, near
Newcomb, seventy-five miles east Of
this city, at six A. VI. to-day.
No one was killed, though several
were very badly injured. The cause OF
the accident cannot now be definitely
determined, as the track seems TO have
been In good condition. The fact that
the train was solidly vestibuled prob
ably averted any fatalities, and is re-
sponsible for the comparatively small
number OF Injured.

LIVELY OUTLOOK IN OHIO.

The Ohio delegation to the Cincinnati
convention, three hundred strong, has not
only declared for national third party,
but announced that they will at once put
a ticket in the field for the Buckeye State
campaign this fall This adds another
complication to contest which had already
promised to be an exceedingly lively one.
Mckinley and Campbell are practically
certain to be the Republican and Demo-
cratic nominees for Governor respectively,
insuring battle royal, though the odds
have been considered largely in favor of
the tariff champion.
But what will be the result of the new
party? 1t is as yet unorganized, of course,
but with the example of the mushroom
growth in Kansas and half-dozen other
Western States, no political prophet can
afford to leave it altogether out of the
reckoning in Ohio. The majority of either
of the regular parties there is seldom more
than two per cent of the total vote. Which
one is the third ticket likely to draw
strength from, even if it does not become
a dangerous quantity in itself?
Apparently the record of our neighbor
State for exciting politics is to be fully
maintained this year.

DYNAMITE ON THE RAIL.

The explosion on the New York Central
road, yesterday, of large quantity of
dynamite while in transportation on a
freight train, with the result of wholesale
destruction of life, reveals new form of
the dangers to which modern industrial
progress subjects the public. 1t was well
known, of course, that large quantities of
dynamite are daily transported on the rail
roads; but it was supposed that its carriage
was surrounded with such precautions as
to avoid the danger of explosion. Yester-
days fatal event proves that confidence to
be misplaced. What the immediate cir
cumstances were which caused this
calamity, involving over score of lives,
will probably never be known, as every
one in the vicinity was blown to atoms.
But the lesson of the explosion is very
plain; that the transportation of explosives
in any form cannot be surrounded with
too great precautions.

EFFECTS OF THE WEATHER.

ALTOONA Times: Although we receive some
reports to the contrary, we believe the fruit
to have received but little if any damage
thus far.
GAINESVILLE (O.) Recorder The blighting
frost of Saturday night killed the grapes in
this section and greatly injured the chances
for many early small fruits.
BEAVER FALLS Tribune: Farmers say that
the frost of Saturday and Sunday nights
almost entirely destroyed the grapes, and
the fruits and most tender vegetables, such
as beans, etc., are badly damaged. The cher
ries look all right.
NEW CASTLE Co,ua,,t: Saturday nights frost
in this vicinity was very severe, and 1t Is
feared that all the grapes have been killed.
All the leaves that had appeared on the
vines were blackened and dried up Sunday,
and were recooked again on Sunday night.
EAST LIVERPOOL (O) Crisis: The heavy
frost was pretty severe on the vines and
fruit trees in this vicinity. The grapes are
reported as completely cooked, and fruits
which escaped previous frosts had to sue
cumb. The grass and grain are also said to
be I'm very bad condition.
DAYTON (O.) Journal: A curious fact con-
nected with weather conditions in this
vicinity during the present month has been
noted by observers that there has been frost
on at least half dozen mornings SO far. but
owing to the dry condition of the atmos-
phere little harm has been done to fruit,
though some tender plants were nipped.
DU BoIs Courier: George Wingert, the
Brady township farmer, says we will have no

on its back and when this is the case dry
moon or month is sure to follow. He has

CANDIDATES OUT OF SEASON.

There is room for the suggestion to our
political friends that it is possible to overdo
the business of setting up things for candi-
dates for State officers three years ahead Of
the campaign. 1t has come to be recog-
nized as a practical axiom that the Presi-
dental boom which starts out three years
ahead of time is sure to 60 to pieces on
some of the unseen reefs encountered in
its protracted voyage. There is no reason
why the same causes should not endanger
the candidates in whose interest the gravest
matters of legislation are being shaped be-
fore 1894.
Yet the theory of the politicians that the
one important thing is to fix up the ma
chinery of government in favor of this
candidate or that, in 1894, has already
taken a most offensive shape. Action on
the Constitutional Convention is shaped,
not with reference to the necessity of such
a gathering, or the securing of the most
impartial representation, but with refer
ence to its effect on the candidacy of one
politician or another for the Governorship
three years hence. Ballot reform legisla-
ton is mutilated with device introduced
to defeat the purpose of the bill In short
the avowal has been made with an almost
brutal frankness on the floor of the Senate
that the criterion by which the Republican
majority must test its action is not the in
terest of the public, but the way in which
they will affect these premature candida
cies
1t would be instructive for our political
friends to reflect that very much of this
sort of thing will be likely to produce the
effect of booming all candidates in whose
interest public legislation is distorted. A
very good rule of action, if the Legislature
had been capable of appreciating it, would
have been to so shape legislation in the
public interest as to strengthen the Repub-
lican party and to leave the selection of
candidates until 1894
