FIGHT.
Monument CammemOrating the Fam
Gus Battle OF Washington Dcdi-
Gated at Trenton.
The Exercises Participated In by
Representatives From Five
Neigaboring States.
Every Workshop and Factory Closed
and Trenton's Popnlace Turned
Out En- Masse.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct 2O-Ths Tren-
ton battle monument has been dedi-
Gated. The pomp and splendor Of the
affair were impressive. Governors OF
many states participated and an inn
pressive military display was one OF its
features. The city was never more
lavishly decorated in honor of any oc-
casion. Every workshop and factory
was closed and the entire population
turned out to witness the exercises and
festivities, and thousands of strangers
swelled the great throng of sightseers.
The monument commemorates the
historical encounter of General Wash
ington with the British and Hessians
in the streets of Trenton on Dec. 10,
1778. At that time Trenton was .
struggling village.
The place where Washington with
his ragged and half famished army
crossed the Delaware on that cold
Christmas night. before the battle, Is
only two miles distant. Around about
the monument 80, $40 people were gath
cred to witness the exercises. The
military rested arms in Warren street,

SLAMS were swept, and from whose soil

TRAIN wRECKERS.

Several Attempts Made to Deraii
Trains on the Omaha.
AUGUSTA, Wis, Oct. 90. An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made Tuesday
night to wreck the eastbound passenger
train on the Omaha road about two
miles east of here The train was late
and the first section of freight went
west about $50 o'clock and struck two
piles of planks and ties, but did not
jump the track. When the second sec
ton came along it struck three piles at
the same place, but did not leave the
rails. A searching party went to- the
scene but did not discover anyone. The
switch lamps at the Kempton switch,
just east of, where the attempt to wreck
the train was made, were smashed, and
the work Is believed to have been done
by would-be train wreckers. The sec.
tion men found man hiding near
there and took him to Fairchild, where
he was placed under arrest. The 9
o'clock eastbound passenger train
Thursday morning had to stop and re.
move some ties from the track at the
same place where the attempt was
made to derail the two freight trains.

Street Railway Cars Piled Up In the
Streets at Chicago.

Streets at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.--One of the most
extraordinary street railway accidents
on record. and which nothing but a
miracle saved from being attended
with great loss of life. and limb,
occurred at 10 o'clock a. m. at the juno
tion of Washington street and Fifth
avenue. Two cable trains OF the West
Side road were coming through the
tunnel bound east when the grip Of each
caught in loose strand of the cable,
which doubled in a knot. This pre-
vented the gripmen from slackeEing
speed, and the two trains dashed forward
at terrific rate. AT the rounding Of
the curve at Fifth avenue the forward
grip dashed into train OF four cars
that had stopped to let off passengers,
while the third car collided with the
second. The force of the double col
lision was SO great that eight cars were
derailed and thrown crosswise on or
completely off the track, while the
ninth was forced upwards to the roof
Of the grip. The 200 or more passen-
gers in the different cars thrown into a
heap gave vent to shrieks and cries and
the people on the streets as we'll as the
multitude that poured from the stores
and Office buildings, expected that the
dead and manned would be numbered
by the score. Instead of this, how
ever. when the passengers had made
their escape through the windows and
over the splintered platforms, it was
developed that all had escaped injury
save boy of IA years, whose limbs and
face had been badly cut. Several OF
the women passengers tainted after
reaching the sidewalk and gaugine
their narrow escape by the appearance
of the wreck.

Big Match Postponed.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2O.-The big match
race between Lamplighter, Yo Tam

not be run Saturday, the date having
been post poned to next week. The
change of dates is likely to make COM
plications in regard to several bets
already made. on. the basis that the
race was to be run four days after
Lamplighter's arrival. There may also
be protest strong enough to break off
the match on account Of the 5-pound
allowance given to Lamplighter, which,
it is understood, was conceded him on
account OF his racing within Eve days
after his arrival, and before he had an
opportunity to fully recover from his

Aqua Fortis Bottle for the Benefit
OF Southern Senator's.
In Two. Column Article OF Vigorous
English He Reads Them the
Riot Act,
Predicting They Will Learn Too Late
There Is a People to Condemn and
God to Punish.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 2o.-Editor Henry
Watterson in The Courier Journal in a
2-column leader, reads the riot act to
those Southern senator's who have OBJ
structed silver repe al. and predicts dis
aster for the Democratic party. He
says:
"The spectacle of the extra session,
and more particularly the scenes Of the
last few days and nights, are enough to
call the dead to life in defense Of the
beleaguered interests and the departing
glory of the South; a clique of South
ern senators obsequiously serving u
combine of silver mine owners, using
their experience, and
Such Wits as Are Left Them
to obstruct the win of the people as it
was never obstructed before, precisely
az IL their own dear lives, of their own
dear dollars, were at stake"
Again he says: Perhaps the inn
notation OF Grover Cleveland may be
retribution upon the Democratic party
for nominating and electing him pres
ident: perhaps it may destroy the party
outright; perhaps it is ever the will Of
God for evil to come to pass that good
may follow; but the guilty ones will
not escape. That is one comfort amid
the desolation that has enveloped DEM
ocratic opportunities and
The Irretrievable Disgrace
which has fallen upon the Democratic
party in having approvingly to submit
to the wise rebuke of Republican
statesman, and that statesman John
Sherman"
Of the platform pledges upon which
the Democracy came into power, and
the stubborn, betrayin3 fight within
the ranks now waged against them,
Mr.. Watterson observes: I'VE see the
official head of the Democratic party
ruthlessly insulted without word Oi
reply or defense from senator's who,
holding Democratic commissions, are
quick to rush to the aid of the mine
owners in meanly insulting their Dem.
ocratic colleagues. We see the organi
zation and discipline of the Democratic
party blown to atoms. not by intellec

That is what we see."

And in conclusion: when tariff

when Democratic victory is converted
into Democratic obloquy and defeat and
when the business interests of tn

The Alaska Commercial Company has an
eye to business and will ship by the new
line when occasion requires.
Barry Baldwin is a heavy shareholder in
the company. and Baldwin, Girvin & Eyre
will ship all their merchandise via the
North American Navigation Company, and

Whittier, Fuller & Co. are well pleased
with the prospects of lower freight rates
and will do considerable business with
Central America by the new steamer.
Bissinger & Co. don't say much. but think

shipment by the company's next steamer.
The mooted question among the mer-
chants gathered on the Keweenaw's decks
was whether shippers would remain con-
slant to the new line and patroniZe it in
spite of the reduction made by the Pacific
Mail.
Their opinions on this subject were the
same as have already been quoted in The
CALL.
There are three queries which come un-
der the caption of this argument:
"First-Will the Mail Company maintain
their low rates?
'SecOnd-Can they afford to do so long
without growl from the stockholders?
"Third-Will tile merchants of Central
America and California patronize them
even II their rates are reduced below those
OF the North American Navigation Com
pany?"
To these three questions the answers
were tremendously NO" with but one ex-
ception. that of shipper who thought that
CalifOrnians are selfish and lacked good

Francisco merchant would 20 where he
could get the cheapest rates.
The former rates on wine via the Pacific
Mail Company to New York was IS cents
per gallon; the North American Company's
rate is cents. The difference OF IA cents
represents about three-tlths of the value of
the wine.

of the principal shipments by the Kewee-
