United States hotel, unceremOniously

then it was stated that he had been pre-
vented from removing from Wilmington

railroad, which consisted of six day
coaches and one baggage car drawn by
engine No 131 plunged into a number of
freight cars at the west yard early this
morning, but fortunately nobody was
hurt.
The train was an extra one and had on
board colored excursion bound from
New York to Richmond, Virginia Shift
ing engine No.27 was the one which was
drawing the freight cars.
When the extra left the station, she
had the right of way. She was going
through the yard at rate of about
thirty miles an hour The shifting
engine had just pulled off the south
bound track, but before all the cars were
of the extra ran into them. Engineer
Waterman was on the extra, but before
he could reverse his engine the crash
came. He, with the fireman, jumped
just in time to save their lives. They es-
capped any injury, but their engine was
completely demolished, nothing being
left except the boiler. The tender was
also wrecked but not one of the cars was
broken. All of the passengers were
shaken up, but no one was hurt, and in
a short time they were on their way to
Richmond.
In the wrecked freight cars was one
which was filed with. bagged peanuts,
and these were strewn around both
tracks to a depth Of several feet. It
took fully three hours to clean up the
debris, which completely blocked the
track.
The cause of the wreck is said to be
the fault of the engineer of the shifter,
he having been too slow in getting out of
the extras way. The wrecked engine
was brought to the shops here this morn
ing to be repaired

ANY careful reader may compare the
two press reports, the United Press in the
EVENING JOURNAL and the Associated in
our contemporaries. TO determine which
is superior. The Importance Of the Peck
episode Is conceded because candidate
Harrison had made the Peck report the
subject of paragraph in his letter and
the Republican press had made It a cam
paign argument Yet the Associated
Press did not mention the futile efforts
TO find Peck and bring him into court
yesterday, and this morning the papers
using that telegraphic report, re.publish
an epltome Of the report that the EVEN
mo JOURNAL published yesterday. We
do not wish to believe that the Asso-
ciated Press is partisan; we prefer to
believe that II is not efficient for it
would be dishonorable not to publish the
report Of the discontinue OF the Repub-
leans over this defeat Of their scheme
and the exposure of Peck. IL is no
matter, however, what view one takes Of
that grave error, the fact remains that
the EVENING JOURNAL has the fullest
and most reliable telegraph service now,
as IL has had for two years the fullest
and brightest reports of local news and
the boldest, most independent, calmest,
most sensible and most diversified edi-
torial. This is not our own Judgment
for the people endorse us by giving a
larger circulation and more commercial
patronage than any paper in Whining
