mer, which the recent rains had
swelled to a raging torrent. which
had washed away fifty feet of the road

the rails and ties to remain, made what
proved to be a death trap. The engine
was running seven miles an hour when
the accident occurred. The five Oc-

killed. MOher's body is buried
under the engine. and, though
a wrccking crew has been working

CINCINNATI, July 3.-A national con-
ventiOn Of col0red lien to formulate an
expression of an opinion respecting the
outrages committed upon members Of
their race is called to meet IN
this city tomorrow. The movement
which resulted in the issue of call for
the gathering had It's beginningiln the
organization in the Sc nth which visited
/ President Harrison eariyfin the spring
and urged him TO invoke the powers lie
holds to stay the hand of oppression.
The meeting of the committee with the
president was notable affair, and at
tracted the attention OF the people or
fhe whole country. Responding TO the
address made to him by the spokesman
for the delegation, President Harrison
pointed out the fact that the c9nstltiIr
ton aud laws clothed him With no
power. nor was any power lodged IN the
general government to remedy the evils
complained of. He, however, expressed
his sympathy with the purpose OF
the committee, and advised them to
seek the aid and sympathy OF the c0ull-
try and secure a general amount OF Ill.
formation on the subject which would
put public sentiment against the out
breaks from which the colored people
suffer-, The first result of the agitation
was day of fasting and prayer en-.
joined upon all the cOlored people or
the country about, a month ago. This
was followed by the call for this ma
tionai convention. The call states tie
purpose OF the convention is to ''enlist
the sympathy of all civilization in be
half of justice, to consider the
condition of the colOred people In
the United States and to pro-
vide remedy for the outrages.
The convention is intended to be in no
sense political affair. and politicians
as such will be barred. The arrange
ments for the gathering are in the hands
of committee. consisting OF Don A.
Rudd, editor of the CathOlic-Amar-
lean Tribune. William Porter, Rev.
