THE PURCHASE BILL.
MR.. MORGAN OF ALABAMA OFFERS
AN AMENDMENT.

Senator Dolph of Oregon Continues His
Speech In Favor of the Repeal BilI-In
the House Debate Continued on the
Election Bin.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The senate
was found to be Tuesday morning in its
chronic no quorum condition. After
the routine morning business an amend
ment to the silver purchase bill was
offered. by Mr.. Morgan Dem. Ala.). 1t
revives the coinage act of 1887 and pro-
vides for the remission of 20 per cent of
import dues on goods imported from
countries that admit standard dollars
of present weight and fineness as legal
tender for all debts public and private.
The question as to the printed extract
from the Bankers Magazine of August,
1878, to which Mr.. Sherman had called
attention to Monday was again revived
by Mr.. White Dem, CALI, in whose
speech it had appeared, and Mr.. White
referred to speech made some years
ago by a member of congress, that is,
he had found the extract as he had
quoted it,
He had, however, examined the
Bankers Magazine of August. 1878,
and found that it did not contain the
extract Mr.. Sherman repeated the
statement which he made that he i'm
puted no blame to the senator from
California, and he stated, as remark
able thing, that in the first quotation
of Senator Beck of Kentucky of Mr..
Hooper's speech in reference to Mr..
Seyd, the words "'who is now here" did
not appear. So that that Interpolation.
as well as the fabrication of the Bank
ers' Magazine article, had been made
since 1878. The repeal bill was taken
up at II and Mr.. Dolph (Rep., Orr con-
tinued his speech of Monday afternoon
in favor of its passage.

GOyERNOR FISHBACR'S REASONS
He Replies to Governor Mckinney Tell
ing why He Wants Governors to Meet.

A special to The Times last night from
Little Rock, Ark, says:
Governor Fishback who projected the
movement for a Southern governors con-
vention at Richmond. Va. on the 18th,
has replied as follows TO the letter from
Governor Mckinney, sent out from Rich
mond March oath:
Dear Sir-In reply to your favor OF
the och ult. ! respectfully refer YOU
to my original circular ,etter TO the sew
eral governors. TO this l beg to add
that since the discoveries and inventions
in steam. electricity the accumulltions
Il wealth have increased at an unpre-
cedcnted rate throughout the world. The
low rate Of interest in The general money
centres and the eagerness with which
iational securities. bearing as low IS .
per cent interest. are sought
after. show that capital finds
difficulty in securing profitable
investment. A very large portion OF
the surplus wealth Of the world will soon
visit the Worlds Fair at Chicago I'm
search of inducements 10 enterprises Of
all kinds. In the Northern States Of the
Union. ard in the older countries Of Eu-
rope. the fields Of enterprise are occupied
and overcrowded There is no portion OF
the globe which offers so many and such
varied inducements to the home seeker
as the South" Not only are her re-
sources almost ineXhaustibe, but nearly
every sort of enterprise is in its infancy,
and in many places the fields are wholly
unoccupied. The recent extreme cold in
the North is rendering thousands Of i'm
migrants anxious for more congenial
cline. l regard this as the moment in
our history The attention Of the immi-
grant and the capitalist has heretofore
been turned from us by false ideas OF
our social condition.
I'VE should disabuse the public mind
and attract public attention TO our un-
approachable advantages. The mere
meeting OF the governors Of the Southern
States for this purpose will of itself ar
rest the attention Of mankind, and what
ever information we impart in our high
official capacity will be accepted as true
Ii is for this reason that | suggested the
convention of Southern governors. II
seems 10 me that If the convention would
resolve 10 have each Governor prepare a
paper over his own signature in relation
To his own State. either while I'm Rich
mond or after his return to his own State
and TO have them all published in pam
phlets to be distributed by the thousands
at Chicago 1t could not fail of signallv
beneficial results. Its kindred matters
viii readily suggest themselves during
the meeting"

Deen Run Hunt.

The meeting OF the Deep Run Hunt club
took place at Mr.. s. II. Handcocks farm
(Chantilly), where a splendid lunch was
served. after which the hunt was started.
The hounds led the huntsmen lively
chase through the country, over bitches
and fences for about an hour, finishing
in the neighborhood of Chantilly again.
Although the ladies were very much in
the minority. they were equally prominent
In the front line OF the chase and ac-
Quilted themselves handsomely by their
elegant Workmanship. The following
ladies and gentlemen rode Captain Phil.

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Two Engines and Forty Freight Cars
Become Unmanagcable.


A runaway train, composed Of forty
freight cars, caused considerable damage
on the Dock trestle last night, shortly
after 10 o'clock. The trestle. which is a
connecting link between the Richmond
and Allegheny road and the Danville road
and Eastern connections Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio system, runs between
the river and the dock and is known TO
all railroad men as very steep grade.
At the end of the grade at the foot Of
Twenty eighth street is situated the tele-
grahph office, and across the dock is a
revolving bridge.
The train last night was composed Of
empty box cars, loaded coal cars and
other freighted cars. Two engines pre-
coded the train-the locomotive that shifts
the train In the Allegheny yard and the
locomotive that remains on the connec-
ton. The front engine was occupied by
James Fitchett, the engineer, and John
Waller, fireman.
Just after the train crossed Eleventh
street ii became apparent to both men
that the brakes would not hold. and no
amount of reversing would decrease the
rapidly gaining momentum. The train
sped on. and when Twenty-elghth street
was reached the train was moving terri
fically. The men on both engines jumped,
and Engineer Fitchett received painful
injuries. He was cut on the left eye.
one of his legs was hurt, and he sustained
other injuries. Fireman Waller escaped
with a sprained ankle Both men were
conveyed to the City Drug Store, at
Eighth and Main streets, and there re-
ceived proper medical treatment.
The engines, after the men jumped,
continued 10 run forward until the front
one was deraied. The second followed
closely. and there was a general smash
up that will cost several thousand dol
lars TO repair.
No one is to blame as far as I could
learn last night. When l visited the scene
Of the wreck at midnight one of the Of
ticials was busily getting the facts in the
case, and the amount of damage that
had been DONE but he was very reticent
as to facts. l asked several questions,
but received only mOnosyllabic replies.
A freight car became derailed at the
foot of Second street Sunday afternoon
and went into the canal. Not a great deal
of damage was done.

one that Messrs. Branch * Leath should
have never allowed to be played in their
