News was received here yesterday Of q
terrible railroad wreck on the O., L. 4
W. road near Beach City, o., earlyin the
morning, which cost the life Of one man
and may prove fatal to three others.
There we're two sections Of a north-boand
freight train running about ten minutes
apart. The first section stopped at Beach
City to do some work, and for some un-
known reason the Asgman failed to flag
the second section. II was running at 8
high rate OF speed, and rounded o short
curve, to see the rear end OF the first
section but a few hundred feet ahead.
All efforts possible were made TO get
the second section stopped, but from
the speed at which 1t was running 1t
was impossible. The crew jumped when
the last effort 10 stop had failed, and had
barely gotten away from the track when
the large, heavy mogul engine crashed
into the rear OF the train, crashing Its
way through several cars, and coming
TO q standstill on its side at the top OF
the embankment.
When the noise aud confusion Of the
collision had subsidized the most pitiful
cries for help were heard from among
the debris. Willing hands went hur-
riedly to work to get the unfortunates |
released from their terrible positions.
There were four railroad men in the ca.
boose when the accident occurred, who
we're riding to Lorain to 90 to work, and
as they were all sleeping they bad no
chance to avoid the injuries they sus.

of these, @. U. Layman, fireman,

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 1.-THE

this ia not certain. Colonel ST. Clair,
who has been away since Saturday, re-

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 4.-There
was quite an animated discussion in the
Senate this morning on the bill allowing
the town council Of Point Pleasant, sole
power to grant liquor licenses, in which
Senators Wiley, Arbuckle, Morris and
others took part. Morris and Arbuckle
opposed giving such authority, and the
discussion occupied the greater part OF
the time Of the morning session. The
bill was ordered to engrossment and
third reading by almost a party vote,
Senators Arbuckle and McCreery voting
with the Republicans against it.
Mr.. Morris said temperance men
generally in fight Of this
kind, when 1t came to the scratch were
willing to compromise or c9ucede some;
thing, while whisky people never had
and never would concede anything. He
could not reconcile his conscience TO
any such bill, and didn't propose to
concede anything. He was opposed 10
it and hoped to see it defeated unless
amended 80 as to take sole power OF
granting license from the town council.
In the House there was another little
war of similar character, the question
being on the bill prohibiting the fur
nishing OF cigarettes to students. The
matter was generally discussed, and an
was offered to add teachers.
The amendment was lost, and, as con.
objection was made to the bill
as offered, Judge Ferguson amended by
that 1t should not pro-
hibit parents from giving liquor
to their children at their homes. The
prevailed. Colonel White
opposed the bill because he said 1t would |
bs non.operative and couldn't be en-
forced. He didn't want laws passed that
and couldn't be enforced. Mr..
Welch, OF Mineral, said he was opposed
to the bill because it would interfere
with individual rights, aud Hanen re.
piled that the personal rights OF others
ceased in such case where personal
rights Of himself or his child began. He
made q strong argument in favor OF the
bill. Judge Ferguson told OF reception
he attended ia Washington, where
young ladies offered him wine, and it
took considerable effort on his part to re.
fuse, and II he had been a young man he
thought he would have yielded. Colonel
White asked him if he would have
wanted to send her to prison in case he
had yielded, and be replied il she bad
made drunkard Of him she ought to
have bsen sent to prison. Mr.. Smith,
Of Tyler, moved toinsert whereby such
student shall become intoxicated" and
Hanen moved to amend the amendment
by adding, "but such student may be-
come hali.intoxicated. Both amend.
ments were defeated. Mr.. Thomas, OF
Putnam made a rather extrayagapt
speech in favor OF the bill. After some
wrangling it was ordered to its engross-
ment and third reading.

Defends the Activity Of the
Clergy in Politics.
THE SENSATION OF THE DAY.
Tho Church In Canada win Fight
Against Annexation to the United
states...Tho Treaty Negotia-
tions.-.Tcrms Given Out.

HALIFAX, n. S., Feb. 4.-The sensa
ton of the. day here is Archbishop
o'Bien's letter in the HaHfdr Herald
defending the activity of the clergy in
practical politics. Archbishop o'Bhtn
strongly defends the right OF the clergy
to take an active part in politics. He
does not propose that the church shsll
stand aside and leave free and cleir
field TO acheming partisans to wreck for
their own selfish ends the noble work
which she initiated and over which she
kept guard for csntaries.
Says he: "The church does not plo.
pose to be efiaced in the public life Of
the country. The church broke the
power Of tyrants, shivered the crushing
fabric OF Imperialism and gave long
reign Of prosperity and social progress.
Latterly the world has been in the hards
OF politicians and political economists.
A pretty mess they have. made OF things
Individual liberty, dead or fast dying
under the law OF demand and supply
the home life polluted by divorces, the
poor ground down by the tyranny OF
money, and the spectre OF an ayenging
socialism terrifying the Government,
The church is girding her loins once
more for battle. She isneither dead nor
dying. She will lead the masses TO viz
tory over combines and trusts and grind
ing monopolies and Lift them to q higher
plane OF civilization and comfort. The
regeneration will be under way before
the end OF the century.
''The proud fond love OF his country
engages the attention Of the true priest.
Were he traitor to his country and to
its social interests he would be unfit to
at Gods altar. Hence should q
candidate for parliament advocate sa!,
unrestricted reciprocity, and should
prelate conscientiously bslieve 1t to be
the first step toward annexation and
should he have good reason to believe
that its promoters hadi in view to destroy
our fair Canadian nationality and to
make Of this country the fattening
ground OF carpet baggers, aud traitors,
should not he advise, exhort, entreat,
aye, command hispeople, who naturally
could not see as far as he, to vote against
sucha candidate"
