From February, 1868, to January l.

cured by the CUrICURA REMEDIES OF
torturing and dishguri 6 skin disease,
after many doctors and remedies had
wholly failed. The marvellous Gu res dali

To know that single application
of the CUTIoURA REMEDIES will

VARIANCE In REPORIS.


There is some variance in the reports as to
what train ran into the accommodation. Dis
patches received in this city today
indicated that some members of the
party that left this city this morning
to attend the ceremonies in New York were
aboard the colliding train. special dispatch
to The SRAR from Philadelphia says:
First section of Presidents train to
New York smashed into TIE West
IL o'clock this a. m. None hurt seriously on
the special. but five killed on the accommoda-
ton and forty injured, twelve. perhaps, fatally.
At the Baltimore and Potomac depot in this
city nothing was known of the accident. Su-
perintendent Mckeever not in his Office
when a STAR reporter called, but the clerk in
charge of the Office stated that he had received
no information whichever about a wreck.
The train dispatcher stated that nothing had
been received over the wires concerning any
wreck. All the trains this side of Philadelphia
were running on time. but the New York trains
were delayed during the day.
The wreck, he said. must have occurred on
the New York division of the road. The report
that the Presidents train had been wrecked
caused some excitement here, until it was de-
MED.
Two Other Wrecks.
READING. Pa, Feb. PA wreck occurred on
the Pennsylvania, Schuykill Valley road be-

Gossip About Those who Seek and Those
Who Will Be Given Places.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. OHIO. Feb. 22.-John Mcbride,
e1-labor commissioner of Ohio is a candidate
for the Office Of labor commissioner under Mr.
Cleveland. He was appointed to his po-
sition under the Ohio state govern
ment by Gov. Campbell, and no doubt
has the support of the ex-governor in
his candidacy. He is a practical coal miner,
having dug in the coal mines of northern OHIO
for several years. He is now the national presi-
dent Of the United Mine Workers of America,
and will no doubt have the support of that
organization at his back, making him very
formidable candidate for the position.
1t now seems that almost all the lawyers of
the northern part of the state are candidates
for the Office of United States district attorney
for the northern district Of Ohio. This is in
part due to the fact that Harrison went outside
of the large cities and appointed an attorney
from the country as it were. There are not less
than score and probably more candidates than
that now for this Office. Among the most
prominent S. f. Dodge of Cleveland, who
is championed by Congressman Johnson Of that
place. and ThOs. Walsh of Akron, who is partner
in several business enterprises OF Congressman
Harter, on whom he so fully relies that he, too,
thinks he has sure thing OF it. There are
other candidates who think the fight, which is
becoming fierce between these two men, will
cause both to be dropped.
1t is reported that Senator Brices protege,
Walter B. Richie ofI4ima, has withdrawn from
the gubernatorial contest after consultation
with Senator Brice. the conclusion being reached
that as Lima already has the democratic United
States Senatorship to take the governorship
also would look too much like grabbing every
thing in sight"
Speaking of the gubernatorial nomination Of
the democrats this year. it should be stated that
one hears a great deal here about the nominal
ton of Congressman Cultivate for this Office.
Mr.. Foraker is already laying the ropes to
secure the United States Senatorship. He
wants to succeed Senator Brice. His term will
not expire until 1897. but the next legislature
after that which will be elected this fall will
elect Mr.. Brice's successor.
close friend of Col. A. c. Carlisle OF Salem,
who has been understood to be slated for the
marshalship of the District OF Columbia, in
forms The STAR correspondent that 1t is not
certain that he will get that Office. Mr.. Cleve-
land has promised him one of four very
desirable offices any one of which would be &C.
ceptable to Col. Carlisle. But if the colonel
has his choice of these, is probable, he will
elect the marshalship.
In the main Ohio democrats seem to approve
Mr.. Cleveland's selection of Judge Gresham to
be Secretary of State but few objections are
heard, notable among which is that from ex-
Congressman l.. I. Neal.

were wrecked and FIVE persons killed. Twelve
others were injured. The names OF the killed

THE PRESIDENTS TRAIN NOT IN THE WRECK.
A rumor gained wide circulation that the
special train bearing President Harrison from
Washington to New York was one Of the trains
in collision. This. however, was untrue. The
Presidents special passed through here for New
York about on schedule time.
The accommodation train was crossing a
switch to pull into South street station. All
the cars but the last one had crossed. when the
southern express came rushing down the track
and struck the local passenger car that was
upon the switch full in the middle. The ex-
press was made up entirely of heavy Pullmans
and the light passenger car was hurled fifty
feet from the track, broken and smashed by the
terrible force of the blow.
THE EMPRESS ESCAPED.
The express train escaped injury and the
engineer Immediately stopped his train. The
crash Of the colliding trains and the screams
and shrieks Of the unfortunate people pinned
down beneath the broken timbers OF the
wrecked car speedily attracted an excited
crowd to the scene.
The twenty-first district police station Is but
few squares from the place where the accident
occurred. and squad of officers were soon on
the scene and the work OF extricating the ln-
jured passengers was soon accomplished.
The hurt were hurried TO the University Hos
pital. two blocks away. and their injuries are
being attended to. The names OF the killed
and injured have not yet been obtained.

dent was on special train following the ex-
press His train was delayed about half an hour
and then proceeded to New York
The accident happened at 1883 o CLOCK. Inc

cross at this point. the former trains running
into the Sd and Market streets station and the
latter running INTO Broad street station.
