RAILROAD ACCIDENT IN OHIO
Six Postal Clerks and two Engineers
instantly Killed.

A frightful accident occurred on the
Lake Shore road at Kipton station, about
forty miles west Of Cleveland, early
Saturday evening, In which six postal
clerks, two enginoors and ono fireman,
were killed. The fast mail, No. IA, bound
| cast, collided with No. 81, the Toledo
oxpress, Just as the latter train was about
70 pull on tho siding 10 lot the fast mail
pass. The fast mail was running at full
speed, and the force Of the collision was so
great that both engines, three mail cars
and ono baggage car wore completely
wrecked. None Of the passenger cars left
the track and none Of the passengers
received serious injury.
It was tho custom for these two trains
to pass at Kipton. the Toledo express tax
ing tho side track for the fast mail, which
usually went through Kipton without
slackeuing Its speed. Tho Toledo cxpress
was few minutes late, and had just come
to stop at the switch when the fast mail
came In sight. There is scarcely any curve
ut tho station, but On one side Of the track
was y line Of freight cars and on tho other
tho station. These might have obscured
the vision Of the engineer Of tho fast mail.
He applied the air-brakes when he saw
that . collision was inevitable, but the
speed Of the train was not checked ma
terislly.
Tho engine Of the Toledo express was
knocked squarely across tho track and
that Of the fast mail reared In the air,
resting on top Of the other. Tho fast
mall consisted Of three mail cars and
parlor cars and tho Toledo express Of ave
coaches and two baggage cars. Tho hrst
and second mail coaches were teloscoped
and smashed To kindling wood, and tho
third crashed into the hrst two and rolled
over on tho station platform, breaking the
windows Of the building. Tho two bag
gage cars Of the Toledo express wero
knocked from the track but did not turn
over. Tho force Of tho collision was so
great that Of the sixty revolving chairs In
tho .wo pnrlor cara only two remained at
tAched to tho floors, all the others being
broken and hurled about In confusion.
Tho passengers wero thrown 10 the floors
and badly shaken but mono were seriously
hurt.
The poor postal clerks had not chance
to escape. They were Gagged like rats, and
tho tslescoping Of tho three cars crushed
the life out Of them without a moments
warning. Passengers say that the cars
and the locomotives wore piled In heap
higher than the station. II Is difficult TO
locate tho blame for the accident, As both
tho engineers are dead. It Is said, how
ever. that No. 81 was ordered to stop at
oberlin, but went on 10 Kipton, which Is
six miles further west, and had not sum-
cicnt time 10 make the side track.

THE NEW SPANISH TREATY.
Provisions of this new Reciprocal
Agreement.

The reciprocity convention between
Spain aud the United States, as drafted
by Premier Canovas del Castillo, repre-
senting Spain, and General J. W. Foster,
representing tho United States, Is based
upon reciprocity sections Of tho new
American tariff law. In return for the
FREQ entry to the United States for Antilles
sugars, molasses, coffee and hides, and o
reduction Of tho duty on tea, Americans
will obtain exemption from dutics on most
OF her raw and manufactured products,
and = reduction Of tho tariff on cereals and
flour. Tho negotiations wcrc protracted
upon tho question Of tho entire abolition Of
tho tariff on cereals and fours and oils,
including petroleum and lard. Tue same
question in regard TO tobacco was also
raised, but not coming within tho scope Of
tho third section OF tho American tariff
law, was put aside.
Premier Canovas offered protractcd 70.
sistanco 70 the abolition Of duty on -four.
Barcelona and Santander traders who are
largely interested in flour shipments pro-
sentcd energetic protests, which fortified
the minister In his indisposition 10 acccds
TO the American proposals. Eventually
representing that American reciprocity
would be impossible without the free
admission Of Americal cereals induced
Premier CanovAs TO assent to such 70
duction Of tho tariff as will place all
American -four upon equal footing with
Spanish flour. Santander merchants
declare that, taking into consideration the
cost Of transportation Of CASTLE grain, Of
which tho bulk goes 10 tho Antilles.
American -four will crush out tho Spanish
product in tho Spanish West Indies. Cuba
now consumes 10000 barrels Of flour
ycarly-chicay Spanish, which enters free
of duty-and pays for It eia y barrel.
Trade In American flour. burdcned with
IN extra duty Of 20 per cent aimee 1859,
has boon completely wiped out, 70 the Ad-
vantage Of tho Spanish product Under
tho new convention tho entry Of American
Hour practically FREQ Of duty will lower
the price To about % per barrel, and will
oxtlnguish tho Importation Of Spanish
-four, while increasing tho Cuban con-
sumption 10 1000, 900 barrels yearly, all Of
which will be American product II tho
pressure OF Spanish interests had not
been counteracted by tho demands Of the
