HENRY cLEws' LETTER.
The Financial Situation and Railway

New YoRK, July 8, ls92.-The finsn-
Cal sitaailon has undergone little
change siaee my lsst adylees. tnfss-
favorable reports from = tew secuonss
reports Of destructive floods n others,
ana continued gold shipments TO Eu-
rope checked the reylylng spirit shown
week ago. Bot these influences have
been about discounted ana the outlook
remains hone the less encouraging. In
fact, any change that may have taken
place has really been toesrds improve
ment. There ls no further cause Tor
uneasiness respecting tho money situs-
uon, because gold shipments must
shortly be suspended by a larger sup
ply OF produce bills; and ln the course
Of few months We shall be importing
instead OF exporting the precious
metal. contingency already antlcl-
psted on the London market. There
is, moreover, no further apprehension
about the treasury being able 10 meet
Its obligations. Secretary Foster has
done deal OF close sailing IN the last
lew months, and be deserves full
credit for the skIllfui manner IN which
he has handled tie financial helm.
The probable dsslnlegration of the
Richmond Terminal system had no
effect upon the general market. The
worst concerning this property is known;
and the Losses have been distributed
without disaster. None of the southern
or southwestern properties are IN favor
at this time, the low price of cotton
having effected business detrimenially y
throughout the cotton belt. The future
OF these roads depends very largely
upon prices realized for the next crop
and the outcome of the Richmond Ter.

Morgan * Co. have declined 10 under
take except upon terms which those al
present in control show no disposition
to accept. In the coal shares n firmei
tone exists, due 20 the advance in
prices, which il must be remembered
are much more easily maintained since
the combination went into effect. Read
ing's May statement was somewhat of
q disappointment considering this fact.
In August next the voting trust expires
by limitation.
In the absence of new influences foi
the better prices may snow slight ir-
regularIties. But there are but few in
ducements on the short side of the
market; and conditions are certainly
more favorable TO higher than to lower

The crevasse water has risen all the
way from Kenner to Ponchatoula, IN
come places covering tine track ak in
ches deep. Traffic was impedcd con-
siderahly, and it took the mail train
four hours to cover the twenty-four
miles from Premier to New Orleans.
At night locomotiOn proved even more
difficult. The accommodation train
which Was to have arrived at 5yester.
day afternoon was abandoned at Machia.
The mail train due here at 1880 was de-
layed until long past midnight. The
crevasse at Harlim, on the New Orleans
& Southern, is not yet closed. A force
Of 100 men has been At work for three
weeks but the cribbing gives way, as
quicksand interferes or some other
obstruction puts itself in the way,
and the people have abeut lost
their patience. There was n crawfish
hole At Story's, but It Was temporarily
closed. The people have cent word that
if the railway sends material they will
close the hole permanently. AS the
railroad has stopped running trains
after closing about thirty crevasses,

An Agreement Made to Make the Tribune
Union Office.

NEW YORK, July 3.-A truce, if not
peace, has been declared between the
New York Tribune and the Typograph-
ical union No. 6. The Tribune may
now be faid TO have been practically
declared union office pro TEN. IL
is now a union Office and will remain
so unless Mr.. Reid fails to carry out me
contract with the officers of the Typo
graphical union. Positive assurance,
it is said, have been gwen that the
Tribune would be completely 'union-
lied" within a month. The Typo
graphical union No. 6 held an exten.
sive meeting at which the Tribune and
the sction of the Minneapolis commit
tee were the chief subjects discussed.
President Kenney, who Was at the
head of the committee which went 10
Minneapolis, made q long re-
port in which he explained
the actions of sthe committee.
He said they had received satisfactory
assurances that the Tribune would be
made q union office if they would sup
port Whitelaw Reds nomination.
This they did not officially, but as indi-
vduals. They could have obtained no
koSA al eSV VA cSSaiahk vic AittahC tot
the union had they not signed the doc
ument, which has since brought out so
much adverse criticism. President
Kenney Indignantly repudiated the
charges of bribery and corruption which
had been hurled at HIM in
eome quarters, and declared
that they, the committee.
Was actuated solely by the
interests of the union. A motion WAS
then made 10 express full confidence
in the committee. which, after full
and free discussion was passed by a
vote Of 500 10 %. Ii was then stated
in behalf Of the committee, that the
Tribune would be made q thorough
union Office inside OF month. The
powers Of the committee negotiating
with the Tribune were thereupon con-
timed. A report is expected at the
next meeting OF the union.

FoRr WAYNE, Ind, july S.-A terri
bic accident occurred at Keller's sta
ton, thirty five miles west Of this city,
on the line of the Wabash road, at $50
O'Clock tins morning, by which five
men iost their lives. A terrific wind
and ram storm swept over that portion
of the couatry about midnight and =
waterspout broke near that point,
which was so violent AS TO flood every
thing in the vicinity. The volume of
water was so great as to undermine the
bed OF the Wabash road at that point.
and the embankment was washed
away, leaving the rails suspended in
the air with no support beneath them.
west bound freight train came along
and plunged into the washout. The
engine and nine cars went down and
the engine turned over on its side. On
the engine were Engineer Il. W. Sharey
and Master of Bridges Harvey Dunlap
of Fort Wayne, Dan Moore, fireman;
c. +. Wilcox and Lineman Charles
Helm of Peru, all Of whom were buried
beneath the wreck. About mionlght
all the telegraph wires went down and
the train master, master bridge builder
and the llneman went out on the freight
tram looking for the trouble. Ali were
in the engine cab and death came
without moments warning.
Relief Sent Out.
Word was sent to this city by a cir
cuitous route and a wrecking outfit
was at once despatched to the scene Of
the accident. The east-bound New York

4:30 O'Clock q. IN. had q narrow escape,
as It passed the point where the freight
train went down only thirty minutes
previous to the accident. Had the ex-
press train been behind time it would
undoubted have found the washout
first and the results might have been
more appalling. as it was the express

track. But no damage resulted.
Trainmaster Wilcox was q prominent
politician, and was conspicuous figure
at the republican state convention here
few days ago. All the killed were
