One Man Killed and Several Injured
in Wreck Near Danyiile, Va.
(RV United press)

Wy OHlUcu EIeSS.)
DANvILLE, Va, March II Great eX-
citement was created here this afternoon
by report that the delayed south bound
passenger train on the Richmond e. Dan
vile road leaving this city about noon
had collided with another train about
three miles from Danville and that thirty
people were killed. The Registers re-
porters rode at once to the scene of the
wreck, but found that the accident was
nothing like so bad IS had been reported
Indeed there was no collision at all
The train left the track and was badly
wrecked, but only one man was killed.
The train was heavy one and was being
pulled by two engines, the assisting en-
glne being in front. The tender of this
engine jumped he track and the engine
behind soon followed. The front engine
was not damaged but the second one was
ditched and badly wrecked The bag
gage and mail cars were also ditched
ID they were smashed, but the
passenger cars were not much in-
jured and the sleepers did not
leave the track. Fireman g. M. Robert
son, of the front engine, either jumped,
Or was thrown from the cab. He wa:
! caught under the rear engine and in
stan,Iy l.i'lei Engineer L. Bryant, and
| fireman w. III. Jackson, of the rear on
gine, were caught under the wreck, and
their escape was seemingly miraculous
as they were seriously hurt. The bag
gage master, mail agent and expires:
messenger were slightly hurt, but the
wonder is that all were not killed

FIRE In WILMIsGTON.
The Union School House Burned to the
Ground Tuesday Night.

The Union School House building on
Anne street, between Fifth and Sixth
streets, in Wilmington was destroyed by
fire Tuesday afternoon. An alarm was
sent in as soon as it was discovered, that
brought the Fire Department speedily to
the spot, but in the meantime the flames
had made considerable headway, and
dense volumes of smoke were pouring
from under the roof on all sides of the
main building and even from the west
wing.
Some of the houses in the neighbor-
hood caught on fire from sparks and
cinders, but the fire was extinguished
without much damage.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by defective fue.
The building and furniture were val
ued at about $l3. 900, upon which there
was insurance, on the building for ST..
500, and on furniture for So, 100.

WASHINGTON, March H. The text Of
the last letter from Lord Salisbury to
Sir Julian Pauncefote the British Min
lister here, on the Behring Sea seal trou-
bles, published this morning, practically
accepts arbitration suggested by Secre
tary Blaine in his last communication
on the subject, aud bids fair to lead to a
settlement of that vexed question
Lord Salisbury accepts as proper for
arbitration all the essential parts of the
six points suggested by Secretary Blaine:
which cover the question whether the
United States has any rights in Behring
Sea outside of the usual territorial
limits.
The question Of damages due from the
United States for seizures of British yes
sells will also probably be included in ar
bitration.

(By United PreSS.)
NEW YORK, March IA special to
the World from Keokuk, Iowa, says !:
From information which came into the
possession Of the World representative
yesterday it is clear tha5 the inside his
tory of the origin and disposition Of the
Wattersou Hill letter has never been
given to the public.
Early in January Col. Wattarson came
TO Iowa on occurring tour He de
liyered his celebrated lecture on money
and Morals n the cities of Grinneli,
Des Moines, Winterset and here in
Keokuk With Damocr is he discussed
politics aud gave it as his opinion thai
one result of the late elections would be
the nomination ofsO!aveland, aud he eX-
pressed desire for Democratic harmony
IN the country at large, and especially Y
IL New York. With that object in view
be said be had written q letter to Gov
Hill which he went on 10 describe nj
nuteiy, a description which cOrrespondad
exactly with the letter which appeared
soon after that in the columns Of the
IL olCco anu W tllCll OOF. LII U6-
MED ever having received.
Mr. WatterSon further said that after
| having written the letter doubts arose
| IN his mind as to whether it would most
help or hurt matters, and not being able
to satisfy himself on that point he mailed
the letter to Mr.. Cleveland and asked
| for his advice on the matter
Mr.. Cleveland kept the letter two
weeks and then returned it with the re
mark that be doubted the advisability oil
| sending it.
Mr.. Watterson thereupon threw it in
to the waste basket, from which he nc
I; doubt supposed il would never be resur.
rected. How the letter finally got into
print. ne, probably, does not know, bu
that it was either fShed out of the was +
paper receptacle of the Courier Journ.
office, or that a copy of it was surrep
titiously made while it was in Mr.. Cleye
lands possession, there can be no doubt
1t will be remembered that in his reply
to CIV Hills denial of the receipt of tht
letter, Mr. Watterson now says he sen
it. He declares that he wrote it, anl
beyond that this denial is evasive.

A Savannah banker says tLLat IN the
western part of North Carolina there are
several counties amid almost inaccessi-
BILE mountains, of which there is as little
known to the outside world as there is of
Central Africa. No railroads penetrate
this region. The natives have no idea
of morality, live in manner little above
the lowest brutes and have absolutely no
knowledge of the world outside their
own communities. Polygamy is prac
ticed with shameless openness, and mar
rage ceremonies are rare.
