sWild Cat" Engine Leaps Into a Passen-
ger Express--TwO Lives Lost.
Associated Press Dispatch by special Wires
CLEVELAND, N. y, Feb, 11.--Lacka-
wana express, No. s, collided with a
wildcat engine, No. II, last night, about
three miles east of Mount Norris The
train was going at Il high rate of speed
when it collided with the engine, just
as the latter was moving off from the
main track to q switch.
The first those knew who were travel
ing in the train was a sudden and vio-
lent shock and then second one. Every
body precipitately rushed out of the
cars. The sight that met their eyes was
startling. The express engine was
thrown to the east side of the track and
completely over; its tender was on the
other side; the wild cat engine was like
wise demolished and was on the west
side of the track. Debris of all sorts
was scattered about. No one seems to
know exactly why the collision hap
pened, though it is stated that the wild
cat engine was signalled to get out of
the way and was doing so in all possible
haste.
The engineer of the express train
James Powers of Buffalo, was badly
hurt and may die. His head was cut
open and he was jammed up generally.
The fireman was hurt also but will
recover.
Powers nephew, also named James
Powers, of Buffalo, brakeman on the
wild cat engine, was injured internally
and within half an hour expired. The
fireman, Albert Englehart, Of this en-
CINE, was also hurt and died within an
hour. The engineer was hurt but will
recover.
Two express cars were demolished by
telescoping. One of the other cars had
its windows broken and steps torn off.
The Buffalo aldermanic party and other
passengers escaped injury,

AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE.

1t is so seldom that very rich American
Of either sex marries an American that the
report that the son of Mr.. William Astor is
engaged to plain Miss Willing of Phi ladel-
phia is worthy of note. When we saw
plain" Miss Willing we refer OF course to
the American lack of other title than that
which is common to her sex. Miss Willing
Is not plain in respect to personal charms.
Indeed when Mrs. William Astor first saw
the young lady who is now announced as
her sons future bride, she is said to have
thought her the prettiest girl she had ever
seen AS fashionable society has the reputa-
ton of following lis leaderin whateve frOlic
its leader may indulge, we trust that it will
show Ihe same inclination now that its
leader has done wise thing. Intermar-
riages between American families are in
every sense desirable. The national feeling
Is said to be weakest in old and rich Ameri-
can families. 1t is a rule rather than an ex-
cepuon that rich American girl allows her
self To be won by titled foreigner. They
are not content to be rIain Mrs. So and So,
The common fate of the rich girls who have
exchan Ied gold for a title has not as yet de-
TERED others from following their example.
In the old countries man who marries for
money does not lose caste. In this he does.
In most cases he understands the sentiment
other men and women entertain for him
so well that as soon as the ducats he mar
RED are legally his he gets himself out of
the country. In Europe he finds associates
who cannot twit him upon his luck in max
ing good matrimonial bargain. Most of
those who have not done SO are fondly hop
ing that they may yet do so. II We remem-
Der right Mr.. William Ast0r was once de-
Heated as candidate for Congress. III his
son marries the pretty Philadelphia girl he
VIII make better run than his father did.
In fact he could certainly be elected on the
issue Of the American marriage.

4 PREDICTION.

Our neighbors of the Atd California
publish the following editorial paragraph:
THE CALL is paIned to learn that certain
parties at Sacramento desire to defeat the Aus
tralian ballot law framed by the Federated
TTadeSi This pain comes late. Certain parties
in San Francisco put that ballot law to sleep at
the election last November, and The CALL was
one OF them.
Our friends of the alta California seem to
have forgotten that its party during the last
session of the Legislature put down all eff
forts toward the passage of law which
would enable the public, Independently OF
Buckeyes gang to secure the nomination OF
candidates for Office. THE CALL realized
that just as long as boss could control
nominating conventions with his strikers
there was no possibility of reform in
this city. The Alta California did its ut
most, we are sorry to say, to elect Buckley
candidates to Office at the November cleo
ton. They did not, however, succeed. The
Republican party carried the election be-
cause there were enough respecting voters
who realized that it would not do to permit
Buckley indefinitely to control our judicial
system, and place men in office who could
manipulate juries. THE CALL predicts that
the Republican party will lose the city oil
San Francisco, and probably the State of
California. at the next election should the
Legislature refuse or neglect to give the
people the Australian system of voting.
What our citizens desire is to be able to
place in nomination candidates for office
without being compelled to 90 into conveu-
tons with strikers. who sell nominations
for money. We know that there are few
persons at Sacramento who desire to head
off the efforts to secure the passage of a law
something like the Australian system, but
THE CALL hopes the efforts OF the patriots
will be understood.

UNDER THE OLD TARIFF.

The Examiner has apparently taken a
contract to convince its readers that their
tai.ors bills VIII be greater under the present
thrift than under the old The fact that
ready-made clothing stores are Offering
goods at as low prices as have ever pre-
vailed does net appear to the free-lrade
organ as calling for an explanation. Asser-
tons are easier than exp plantations, and more
in the Examiners line Of practice. Under
the old tariff our merchant tailors were COM
PEELED to compete with London tailors in
the manufacture Of garments. Some years
ago an agent Of London tailoring firm
appeared in his n1ry and went about among
the cheaper sort of dealers soliciting their
custom. He assured them that they could
enjoy the luxury of Lnnd0n-maie suit at
lower cost than one of corresponding quail
ity made up in this city. 4 good many
men who would not like to see their names
iu print a. patrons of a cheap London tailor
gave the agent their measure and ordered
suits through him. So extensive did this
business become thata Cust0m-house broker
was employed to make special business of
getting these cheap, LOndon-made suits
through the CustOm-house. The nature of
this competition may be inferred from the
fact tina the wages Of London woTkmen on
rrady-mad6 garments vary from So to S. a
week. The same class of workmen in this
city command from Sl2 to $50 a week. The
Mckinley tariff places duties on ready
made suits which protect the American
tailor. Such of our merchant taiors as
have permitted their complaint against the
tariff 10 appear in print seem to have given
little consideration to the increase in duty
which will give them considerable work
that has heretofore been done in London.
There is, erhaps, something in the repre-
sentatiou If San Francisco tailors that most
Of the London-made garments have to be
made over in this city. Cheap London
tailors do not do work that VIII pass in this
part of the world 1t is quite possible that
in the beginning of an effort to transfer the
WOODEN industry, so far as the products are
consumed in this country, from England to
the United States, there may be Slight tenn
porary rise in prices. Such has been our
experience in other industries. But in the
end home competition will bring prices
down to the lowest point consistent with
fair compensation for labor.
