STILL THEY HAPPEN.

There was another extensive wreck
on the Baltimore u Ohio near North
Mountain at an early hour this morn
ing, and no passenger or freight trains
passed over the line through Martins
burg between o'clock and II o'clock.
The extent Of the wreck could not be
learned. II was reported here that the
damage to the property Of the COM
pany was considerable, but that for
tunately no lives had been sacrificed.
Two cars were broken up in the yard
here, and it was also rumor9d that
there was q slight accident at Sleepy
Creek.
It is getting 50 that the old men here
dread to take their trains out for fear
that they will not come home alive.

experienced men at work in various ca
pacities that they can place no Deepen

there ever was a time when the city

more prosperous than for any one, or
even two years, within five years that
have gohe by. They have received good
value for their products and have been
enabled to balance up accounts that,
in many instances, they have allowed
to run for several years. The city mer-
chants have daily been able to make
good sized deposits at the banks, and
in consequence they are feeling better
spirited and safer financially than for
several years.

levied upon belonged 10 his wife, but

proceeded to take possession Of the
outfit, whereupon he was abused and
cursed and forcibly compelled TO re-
linquish custody Of the property. A

WASHINGTON, D. c., October /. An
accident to the lower door Of the Uni

rary suspension Of payments in that
Office this morning. The vault is
opened armine o'clock every business
dayybut there was hitch this morn
ing, and it resisted all efforts to open
lit. 1t contained about $18, 200, 900 in
loose funds, necessary to the transac-
ton Of the current business of the de-
partment, When nearly an hour had
been spent in vain efforts to move the
refractory door, and the creditors in the
outer room were increasing in numbers
and importantly, al newcomer took
hold of the door knob, and by vigor-
Gus shaking accidentally brought the
combinations in their proper places,
and the trouble was at an end. In
the meantime a telegram had been
sent to a lock expert in Philadelphia
to come to Washington at once. and
the Treasurer had about concluded to
resort to the hitherto Sacred funds in
the reserve vault. What made the
matter worse was that the demands on
the treasury this morning were UNI
usually large.

nemain, his mistress, in the Ixelles
Cemetery. Since the death of Mime.
de Bonnemain, on July II, the Gener-
al had been very much depressed, and
his friends say that he frequently
openly avowed desire for death, and
that he had several times Of late even
made attempts to take his life. In
consequence, he has been watched as
closely as possible by the friends who
still remain loyal to him in his misfortt
unes. His friends in this city recently
warned his neice andSher husband that
the ex-Minister of War, who at one
time was looked upon as the man to
lead ia Revanche" enthusiasts a
Berlin, was likely to attempt his life.
This neice and her husband arrived
some days ago at the Generals hotel
in the Rue Montoyer, and so impressed
were they with his demeanor that one
Of the first things they did was to cause
all the weapons found I'M his apart
ments to be taken away and hidden
where he could not get at them. Gen
eral Boulanger must have noticed the
precautions being taken to save his
life, and, unknown to his neice and her
husband, managed to secure and hide
from them the pistol which with he shot
himself Even the Generals valet,
who had been instructed to use his ut
most endeavors to find and obtain pos
session of any weapon the General
might have about him, seems to have
been cleverly deceived.
General Boulanger, according to the
stories told this evening, made no Sc
eret of his WEAKNESS of life since the
collapse of his party, and particularly
SO since the death of Nine. de Bonnie
main. His friends now recall the fact
that when the cofin-lid was finally
closed over theremains Of his mistress,
he kept on repeating aloud in heart

PARIS, October 1.-The suicide Of
Gen. Boulanger caused an intense sen

papers contain obituary articles but
none, with the exception of LIE Jour,
reflects upon the political aspects of
the Generals life.
The members ofthe Patriotic League
are talking of public funeral for the
General, and they propose to inter his
remains in France. 1t is believed that
such action upon thepart Of theleague
will lead to serious disturbance. The
romantic manner in which the General
died has touched softspotsin the hearts
of Parisians, and many warm expression
of sympathy for the dead soldier are
heard in unexpected quarters.
