rrDssCRrBAB1E HoRRoRs.

Words cannot picture the awfulness
of the accident; imagination stands
back and fails to give any idea of the
scene. Its horrors will never be fully
told. It's suddenness was almost the
chief horror. In moment, in the
twinkling of an eye, there was change,
and men who came to the scene OF their
daily toll will never return alive.
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
In the national capital OF the proudest
nation of tie earth there has been a
catastrophe unparalleled in the annals
of its history, and in every mind there
is the horrible conviction that it's genesis
is to be found in the criminal negligence
of a government too parsimoniouH to
provide for the safety Of its loyal sery-
wants, by erecting buildings proper for
their accommodation.
A CATARACT OF DEATH.
Ii was between 9:30 and 10 O'Clock
this morning that the floors of the old
Ford's theater building on Tenth street,
occupied by the records and pension d.
vision of the surgeon-general's office,
fell in as though they had been the
cards OF card house. On each floor
were scores of men at work. without
warning they were carried down as by
an awful cataract. The flood was made
of iron girders, hardly strong enough
to support the walls, but heavy enough
to stamp out human lives; OF bricks
held together by plaster long since
dried out; of wooden beams that had
been in place too long. There was no
escape from such flood.
REMoRsE ON SOME MEMS SOULS.
The government of a great nation
could not afford to provide safe build
ing for its faithful employees. but herded
them together in building whose un-
sound condition was notorious. Again
and again have the columns of the press
been filled with the story of rotten walls.
There is shame and remorse on the
souls of some men who were responsible
for the state of things that confined men
working for their daily bread in build
ing that every one in the city of WASH
ngton knew was unsafe.
A CURSE ON THE HOUSE.
Twenty-eight years ago there was an
,ther tragedy within the walls OF this
The news of 1t was flashed to
he four quarters of the earth and it
brought CONSERVATION wherever it went.
The man killed was the president of the
United States. AS though the building
lad borne curse upon it from that
ime, it ended its career in a fitting man
manner. But how much better it would
AVE been if the government had re-
moved the structure years agol
A STRANGE coINClDENcE.
Those in the multitude who could
hink Of something besides the catas-
rophe, alone, remarked upon the
trsnge coincidence that the building in
+hich John Wilkes Booth slew Preai-
ent Lincoln should fall and kill scores
people on the very day that the body

New BEDFRoD, Mass, June 9.-About
half the spectators in court this morn
ing were females. The first witness
called was Assistant Marshal Fleet.
Governor Robinson made a. long exam
instion of Officer Fleet and disclosed the
fact that other hatchets than the ham
dleless hatchet were found. Robin
con led Fleet into a contradiction of yes
terday's testimony, that the broken
part of the hatchet handle was covered
with ashes like on the blade. Officer
Doherty described his experience at
the Borden's on the day of tho muir
der. The only matter of Importance
brought out at the afternoon session
was the fact that the broken part of the
handle of the small Ratchet, which is
missing, was seen by Officer Mullaly
and the government professed ignor-
ance of the whereabouts Of the pieces.

The Bound and Helpless Giant.

Newark Evening Neics.
So great is the advantage that the Dem
ocratic party gains by the gerrymander OF
Essex county that the Republicans, even
with aid of the bad legislation Of last
Winter, have but slender chances to elect
Assemblymen except 10 the districts in
which their vote has been so heavily
punched that last November they had O
plurality OF over 5000 votes 10 the three.
When it is pointed out that at that cleo
ton the Republican Assembly candidates
in Essex county received 80, 056 votes and
the Democratic nominees for the same
offices %, TAO votes, and that the latter
party, thanks to the gerrymander, elected
eight out Of the eleven Assemblymen, it il
useless to go further into the task Of ex
planning the odds against which the Re-
publIcans must contend.

They constantly tell us that every "de-
serving veteran" should have q pension.
But when2 "Ah, there's the rub, as
Hamlet remarks. One reason is that the
longer settlement is delayed, the less
money it will take. With SO, 600 veterans
dying every year, why not make greater
haste in the allowance OF claimsf How
many go to their graves unrequited at the
present rate of allowance by the pension
Bureuu9 Let us see, Lee surrendered
April 9th, 1866 johnson April goth, and
KIRBY Smith May Goth. That was %
years and months ago-nearly the llie-
time of generation. Can it be that the
government will ask the men who CON-
pelled these enemies of the country to
surrender, to wait still longer for their
rights There is simply one thing to do
il the government means TO be honest
with its veterans that thing is to put
enough force into the Pension bureau to
close out every case as soon as possible.
Let us as veterans see that it is so com.
pheted. II should be, and can be, il it is
determined. Let the comrades exert
themselves to arouse public opinion to
demand it, as the veterans are power in
the land yet. With their sons and sons
in law, they have several million votes,
and they may make themselves felt at the
ballot-box. VETERAN.

Our Fearless aud Upright Judge.

An appointed Judiciary never showed
to better advantage in this country than
in the recent course Of the Justices Of the
New Jersey Supreme Court towards bal
lot suffers, policy shop blacklegs, race
track gamblers, and their active, i'll smell
ing and obscene horde of touters, retain
ers and allies. Not one of these honored
and upright judges has failed 10 rise to
the occasion, and to uphold the public
moraities, by exhausting the resources Of
the law against these evil-does. One OF
the latest and most notable examples of
their firmness for the right was the Sniql Q
proceeding of Justice Van Syckel, in
the Union County Court on Tuesday.
His refusal to accept the namby-pamby
"presentment" of the Linden Township
Committee, instead OF the indictments
that the facts so urgently call for, and
sending the Grand Jury hack for more
complete performance of duty, almost
took away the breath Of race.track apollo
gists with which the jury was evidently
packed. But it was a sound and right
eous proceeding on the Judges part.
When Grand Juries and other parts Of the
machinery of justice come to understand
that wrongdoers with pulp cannot get
by the presiding Judge with their aid and
connivance, they will begin to understand
that it will pay them best TO do their duty.
