The Car Coupler Question.
the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A law has been passed that all American rail-
road cars must be equipped with automatic
couplers, in order to save every year the thou
sands OF lives and limbs Of brakemen and
switchmen. Such a result can only be effected
BY adopting and using . universal system of
coupling without any variety in construction
Fatalities will surely he great az, If not more
than, in coupling by hand il the automatic
coupling is not Of . uniform system e. well as
construction.
There should be q committee Of not less than
100 railroad men (of whom not less than half
should be practical men. such a. brakemsn and
swItchmen) to adjudicats upon the systsm Of
coupling The men VINO work this train and
who are engaged in coupling and uncouplins
the cars should be included in the committee,
the train TO run On any road for several months.
such trial should be made in the interests Of
. dangerous occupation. in which the whole
country and humanity 10 concerned. before q
type Of coupler is adopted a. the universal one
under the new Law. B.

The Borden Trial.

New BEDFORD, June lin the
Borden murder trial to-day Mayor John
w. Coughlin, of Fall River, was next
called. He described the visit to the
Borden house with Marshal billiard
and corroborated the marshai's testi-
mony as to the conversation with the
defendant. The court excluded the
evidence as TO the demonstration
against Mr.. Morse, Offered by the gov
eminent to show that the police later
surrounded the house in good faith for
protection and not for surveillance.
Mrs. Clifford, a dressmaker, testified
today against the defendant. The
prisoner told her that Mrs. Borden was
a mean, hateful, old thing, that she
hated her, and never ate with her when
she could help it. The prisoners color
rose as the testimony was given.
Mrs. Reagan. matron, of the Fall
River police station, testified to an eXs
cited conversation at the station house
August 4 between the prisoner and her
sister Emma in which the prisoner
said: "You have given me away, EN-
ma. and | will let you see | wont give
in one inch" They parted without
speaking.

Colonel o,Ferralrs Answer.

Congressman O'Ferrall, who was III
Richmond yesterday, gave to the press
his reply to the attack made upon him
by Mr.. w. R. Alexander, of Winches-
ter, in newspaper card published last
week. Among other things he said:
SIN my card published the Sd instant
! endeavored to uncover person who,
under an assumed name, had been
lately villifying me in the newspapers
and circulars, and stoning me from ann :
bush and stabbing me under cover OF
various mons de plume. e.,
Il did so not because | thought nm
worthy of notice, nor for fear that ms
statements would be believed III this
Congressional district in which he and
l both live, but noticed his ISLANDERS
because / knew that many people OF
the State were not as well aware OF the
falSity of his statements rs the people
of the Seventh Congressional district
who had heard and disbelieved him so
often.
"No one can hold him worthy of no.
tice who recalls the fact that he made
his attacks under assumed names ana
bv circulars unsigned, and especially as
in nv said card of the Sd instant used
the following language: If any man
charges, intimates, or insinuates that
my name was ever on any republican
ticket with my knowledge, assent, or
appreciation, directly or indirectly, ne
utters base, wilful, wicked and mali
cious falsehood.
"Of course any man who would
anonymously attack another, and when
denounced in such language as | en-
ploved rest under such an insult, is not
entitled to the notice Of any honorable
man. | will add that fully concur IN
the opinion that under ordinary CIR
cumstances private letters should not
be made public For my publication OF
extracts from his so-called private let
tiers he himself is responsible. He COM
PEELED me to convict him out OF his own
mouth.
"He had kept up his attacks for more
than six years, and endeavored to pIl.l'
lory me, and l wiped out his public
statements with extracts from his let
tiers in which he protested great es-
TEEN for me, gave me hints as to
nv canvass, offered his services.
Yes, with full knowledge of the
Grant ticket circumstance, for which
he assailed me. he thought in
1884 that l was worthy to represent
the Seventh district in Congress and
believed that l was entitled to the
nomination over any man in the dis,
trict,' and was my Jealous supporter
even over Hon. Holmes Conrad, his
own townsman, and his opinion of me
did not change until in 1855, when
declined to recommend him for ap'
pointment as United States district at
torney of the western district of Vir
ginia.
1T is well know in my Congression
al district that after announcing that
would be an independent candidate fol
Congress in 1874 | soon saw that, not
withstanding the fact that the district
was overwhelmingly democratic, | wa:
pursuing course that tended to dis
