Persons, Two Engineers, Fire-

A frigbtful wfeeh occurred on the
Lake Shore railroad, at kiptou Station,
about forty miles west OF Cleveland,
early Saturday evening, in which six
postal clerks and two engineers were
killed. The fast mail. No. IA, bound
east, collided with No. 81, the Toledo
express, just as the latter train was
about to pull on the siding to let tho
fast mail pass The fast mail was run
ming Mt full speed, and the force of the
collision was SO great that both engines,
three mail cars and one baggage car
were completely wrecked. Following is
the list of dead: Edward Brown, engi-

Tapliff, engineer OF Np. IA, Toledo, o.;

the station, but OH one side of the track

obstructed the vision of the engineer Of
the fast mail. He applied the air breaks

LOVES UNCLE SAM.
New Foundland Confcsses That Her Young
Affections Are That Way.

Affections Are That Way.
In an interview in London Thursday
morning the delegates from Newfound-
land, who are there to present the
views Of the colonial government
on the fishery question to
the imperial authorities, said there
was no doubt that the present cir
cumstances had created very friendly
feeling toward the United States on the
part of the government and people of
Newfoundland. The action of the
United States in connection with the
embarrassing position in which the col
onists found themselves placed had
proved most attractive to the latter.
The people of Newfoundland, of course,
deeply regret the unhappy estrange-
ment which has come between the col
ony and the mother country. Neverthe-
less the existing impatience of their
people at the cavalier-like treatment
heretofore accorded them by the impc-
rial government, if such treatment
was followed by the failure of the dele-
CATION in its present mission TO Eng
land would be intensified and deepened
into absolute alienation, the effect
whereof would be difficult to foresee.
In any event there never again could be
the same friendly feeling on the part of
Newfoundland towards England as
hitherto had existed The delegation
consists of five members, two from the
Newfoundland Legislative council, and
three from the house of assembly.

that the other was made up Of
pretty good fighters. The Georgia
boys got the best of two engagements,
but in the third they suddenly found

eaten banners that the regiment
brought back from the great con!ifcS.
There was also anew flag, one which

of Georgia, made for the zouaves in
honor of the occasion--the thirtieth an

opportunity by indulging in expressions
OF the greatest good will and respect for
one another. The blue and the gray
