a passenger train on the Louisville,

road ? miles east of Troy, Ind, at IL
o'clock Monday morning. Train No.
81, an accommodation in charge
of Conductor James Gordon and
drawn 10y engine No Is, plunged
through a trestle and down a
15-foot embankment aud not a single
person on the train escaped injury.
The heavy passenger coach fell directly
on top of the locomotive smashing the
steam chests and enveloping the vic
Tins of the disaster in scalding cloud
of vapor. Those who were able to get
out of the wreck at once set about
rescuing their more unfortunate fell
low passengers. Hardly had the dead
and wounded been dragged from the
steaming wreck when the coach caught
fire from the ruined engine and was en-
tirely consumed. 1t is now feared that
some of the occupants of the coach
were pinioned in their seats and cre-
mated. The list of dead, so far as can
be ascertained at this time, is as fol-
lows: Mrs. John Cavanaugh, Troy,
Ind, scalded to death; John Cavan-
augh, Jr.. aged 10 years Troy. Ind.
killed outright; Miss Barbara Nemier,
aged is wears, Harrison township.
Perry county, Ind, killed outright;
Emma Schue, aged 10 years, St Mein-
rad, Ind, scalded To death; unknown
man, farmer, Of Hancock county. KY,
scalded to death
The wounded number thirty, of
whom n dozen are so badly crushed
and scalded that they cannot recover.
There was considerable delay in talk
ing any steps TO care for the sufferers,
but finally one of the trainmen started
back TO Troy, and an hour and half
after the accident relief party arrived
on the scene and the dead and wounded
were taken back 30 the village, where
they are being cared for by the local
physicians.
The accident was caused by the
breaking Of the fange of one of the
drive wheels of the engine.

appeal to the hearts Of men. 1t has hollow
ring, tho shallowness Of his religious feeling
Is painfully apparent, and its genuineness Is
not less doubtful.
His controversy with DR.. RAINsroRp re.
veals him In his true colors. He preached
ut that church to men only on manly purity,
with the understanding that the collection
to he taken up should not go to him, but for
the reclamation Of fallen women. Yet
after the sermon he sent back $25
which Dr. RArNsFoRD had given him
us personal gift. on the ground that
II was not enough pay. He wanted
some or all of the money intended for tho
fallen women 1.-THE plain fact OF the matter
is" he wrote to the rector of st. Georges,
that can't afford to preach in the churches.
I have to speak in tho halls" And why?
Because ho can there better reach tho souls
OF mon? No. because they bring more
help to our work.!
Bishop PoTrER's license for him to preach
In the churches was therefore waste OF in
diligence. He would probably have pro-
ferred tho advertisement of the Episcopal
condemnation. for he Is after money only,
according to his own confession. Hc is not
trying to build up tho Church. but to build up
Llanthony Abbey In celebration OF himself.
This mnn may not be conscious humbug.
He may be no moro than superlativo ego
tist and self-seol,er; but practically the re-
suit Is the Same. He denounccs Mr.. MAC

Obstruction Is q Duty.

The Hon. ROSWELL P. FLOWER struck
twelve when he frankly admitted In reply
to taunt fron Major MCKINLEY. that the
sole object Of the dilatory proceedings on
the part of the minority In the House was to
prevent the passage Of tho Force bill.
1--WE accept that ISSUE" said Mr.. FLOWER,
sand stand upon It,"
II tho ordinary legislative business OF
Congress is blocked from now on until
March 4; II every pending measure is made
to await tho result OF tho struggle now CEN
tral In tho Senate, but perhaps soon to be
transferred again to tho House; II public
interests and private hopes and demands
are alike pushed aside for few weeks; Ii
not an appropriation bill goes through be-
fore the adjournment OF tho Fifty-flrst
Congress and an extra session Of the Fifty
second Congress becomes necessary; II oven
worse things than these happen. the conn-
try will s.ill have paid a low price for Its
escape from al imminent danger
Democrats in tho Senate and in the House
are awake to the immcusurable importance
OF the principle at stake. They will do their
duty and part OF their duty Is to avail them
selves OF every known eAledient to prevent
flual action on this seli-pcrpctuating lueas-
urc OF partisanship until new House comes
in honestly representative Of tho country's
sentiment on tho subject.
At such IL time the name OF obstructionst
becomes an honorable and glorious title. 1t
is not necessary to pick words or to disavow
the true motive OF tactics OF delay. Rcmem-
ber how RANDALL resisted and defeated

Father Ignatius.

Father IGNATIUs has closed his mission In
New York and has gone to Florida for rest
and recuperation preparatory to undertake
ing similar missions in other cities OF the
Union. Therefore it is proper time to con-
slider what is tho true character OF this
Anglican monk as exhibited here.
When he first came to New York he was
supposed to be religious enthusiast, IA
natical, it might be, but sincere and earnest
and single-minded in his desire TO. the con.
version OF tho souls OF men. His monks
garb was looked upon as typical Of his
abandonment OF the world, and his shaven
head and saudnlled feet were taken rs indi-
cations that he mortified tho flesh In the
hope OF quickenin9 tho spirit. Everybody,
therefore. was prepared to listen to him with
respect as man who was honestly trying
to live up to his precepts. But doubts as to
his genuineness soon arose. and the longer
he remained the greater they became.
Throughout his whole series of discourses
he has thrust his own personality forward
with the vanity Of drum major and q
straightforward performer The professional
revivalist called the Boy Preacher, though
really he Is man grown. Is now celebrating
himself in one OF the Methodist churches Of
the town, but he cannot come up to the self
laudaton Of tho Anglican monk, aud he is
not more irreverential and Is less expensive.
Both OF them work for pay; but Father lG-
NATIUs wants tho whole cash proceeds Of the
performance. while the other accepts stlp-
uated price.
Usually tho people who attended the
meetings OF this English monk were re-
quircd to pay handsomely for their seats !:
and besides, his pictures and books were
hawked about among the audiences as II he
were the fat woman in second-rate show.
The scale of prices at tho Lenox Lyceum
last Sunday afternoon was twenty 1--we cents
general admission and fifty cents and
ohe dollar for reserved seats. Hence his
revenue from the performance, after paying
all expenses. was more than $500. A star
actor might have been satisfied with so rich
return from the box Office. According tn
his own statement to DR.. RAINsPoRD, $500
is the least sum we receive from our Sunday
evening services ina hall" The cash profits
OF his long mission must therefore have
been large. especially Us the gate money has
been increased by many voluntary contribu-
tons to the fund.
The excuse which Father lGNATIUs makes
for this remarkable exhibition of greed is
that he wants the money for his Llanthony
Abbey in Wales. But his mission was not
advertised as for such purpose. 1t was
proclaimed as II campaign for the salvation
OF souls only. What, too is Llunthony
Abbey except Father IGNATIUs? 1t Ia not a
recognized institution Of any Church. but is
his and for his glory alone. II the
abbey's objects are worthy. and it COM
mandsrespect at home. what occasion would
he have had to come hither begging for
money in its behalf? Evidently the Eng
lish people distrust the man, and with very
good reason. He has no consistent religious
system to teach and his monasticism seems
to b" of the sham and pnchbccl order. His
sniitnaltr is not true and deep enough to
