A BAD WRECK
Mail Messenger McLain Probably Fatally
Hurt on n W. a l.. K. Train.
Special Teleordm TO the Register.

CANTON, O., March l?.-The Wheel
ing and Lake Erie south bound passen
ger train was wrecked at Navarro, nine
miles south of here this afternoon and
Mail Messenger McLain, of Carol coun
ty, severely and probably fatally injured
The train left Toledo this morning,
stopped twenty minute Tor dinner at
Orryile, passed through Massillon and
was due at Navarro at 1885. 1t was
twenty minutes late. When about five
hundred feet north of the depot the
mail and express car, smoker and day
coach, which composed the train, shot
off the track al the switch. The engine
ran ahead towards the station. One
car was thrown on its side. The
other three were badly wrecked and
tore up the track. IL is
thought the switch was defective.
Mail Agent McLain was picked up al
most diSemboweled, and was carried to
the depot. DR.. Ridenhour, the cOmpa-
ny's surgeon at MaSsillon, was sent for.
The wounded man, it is supposed,
Jumped from the side OF his car and fell
on small stumpS of trees, which cut him
in Il horrible manner. But for the fact
that the train was Stacking up it's speed
for Navarro station, passengers would
have been badly injured or killed.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, March l2.-Wlr
and diSSention Is rife among the agricul-
tural organizations Of the State. The
election of Gen. Palmer by the votes of
Representatives Moore and COckrell has
raised a division among the +. NJ. B. A.

widened by an address issued tonight
by \. j. Strecter, the recent Senatorial
candidate, and Representative Tauben-
eek, the single farmer member who re-
mained true TO the independent candi-
date on the last ballot. The address
charges treachery and all sorts OF bad
faith. Representatives Cockrell and

Sir Charlie. Tnpper on IsIaIne.

OTTAWA, ONT. March r. Sir Charles
Tupper said in an interview to-day: 81
am very sangune that reciprocal trade
arrangements On broad and liberal
basis between Canada and the United
States will be made very soon, cmbrac-
ing all such articles, whether product
OF forest or OF farm, as can be arranged
to the mutual advantage OF both coun-
tries. My confidence in that result
arises from the fact that Mr.. Blaine was
known to be strongly opposed to the
Mckinley tariff act. So far from re-
fusing to make anything but treaties OF
unrestricted reciprocity, the treaty he
has made with Brazil simply embraces
articles that both countries agreed
could be exchanged to the mutual bene-
fiji Of each, either free or at reduced
rate of duty. The treaty that Mr..
Blaine has made with Newfoundland is
precisely OF the same character. There
is no reason why Mr.. Blaine should not
embrace the opportunity OF ridding the
Mckinley bill OF its worst features by 4
broad and liberal trade arrangement
with Canada. Mr. Blaine is undoubt-
edly very eminent and able statesman.
| shall be greatly surprised if Mr..
Blaine does not crown his best efforts
as public man 10y accomplishing a
settlement OF all questions of friction
between the United States and Canada
on terms that will be mutually beneficial
and honorable to both countries.

WASHINGTON, March l2.-Although
there is little prospect that the Presi-

Circuit Courts provided for In the law
recently passed by Congress, the West

are very active. There are no less than
half dozen West Virginians who want

TO have the enthusiastic backing of the
Hon. Stephen B. ElkinS for the place,
as Mr.. Elklns believes Goff would make
much better Judge than he does boss
of the Republican party in West Vir-
ginia. Mr.. ElkinS believes himself to
be much better fitted for the latter posi-
tion than is Gen. Goif, and with the
latter on the bench Mr.. Elkins thinks
he would soon so fix matters in West
Virginia that il would be possible for
him TO come to the United States Sen
