FRIDAY EVENING. JAN. 20, 1893.

No MATTER how well disposed all
democrats are, and should be, toward
The President-elect, nature will not per-
mit their memories to fail for his sake,
and the fact that, though unlimited,
he has gone to the funeral Of the late
Mr.. Hayes, naturally reminds them OF
the other fact, that though specially in-
vited, he declined to 90 to that of Vice
President Hendricks, who, had he died
first, would have been his own success
sor. They do not object to his going to
Ohio; nor do they like to remember
that he refused TO so TO Indiana but
they cau't help doingso. But that they
do, does prevent them from sincerely
desiring the success of his second adj
ministration.

no necessity for the expense OF main

democrat sees the justice of reducing
the salaries of its members who will be
appointed by democratic administra

done by the diplomatic bill as reported
to Congress. There should be retrench-
ment and reform, but surely not at the
sole expense of the democrats, as the

strange, some democrats, seem to ma

THE RICHMOND TERAnNAL.-The ac-
tivity in Richmond Terminal in New
York yesterday was accompanied by
reports that interests friendly to Drexcl,
Morgan & Co. were accumulating the
bonds and stock in anticipation that
that firm would control the reorganiza-
ton of the system. 1t was said that
these interests have formed pool or
syndicate to acquire enough of the Sc
curities to justify them in rendering the
work of reorganization to the banking
firm mentioned.
The Wall Street journal said yester-
day evening: "There are several rea-
sons given for the activity and advance
in Richmond Terminal securities to-
day. The principal one seems to be
that certain brokers are supposed to
have been buying for Drexel, Morgan
& Co. Out of this has grown an i'm
preston that this firm may reorganize
the property. Some think Vanderbilt
interests are seeking to control the
property to associate it with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. On all these points
we have made inquiries where authori-
tative information would most likely
be obtained, and we are assured there
is no truth in them"

A Blood. Curlllng Accident on u Russian
railroad Yesterday.
81, PETERSBURG, Jan ia fatal rail.
way accident occurred to-day on the
line between stalousk and samara. A
train composed Of several cars filed
with recruits was running from Stalousk
to Samara when flames burst from the
foremost car. Tho train was going at
full speed and the fire swept backward,
and in few minutes all the cars were
blazing. Tho engineer for some unac-
countablo reason did not stop the train
until no had run u considerable dis
lance.
In the meantime there was q scene OF
indescribable confusion in the cars.
The recruits, or at least as many Of
them as could, leaped from the windows
and doors. Some OF them landed unln-
iured in the heavy snow banks, while
others, who landed in the cleared track,
we're killed.
Those who we're unable to get out Of
the cars were burned to death, for the
train was entirely consumed. Some of
the men were terribly burned before
they jumped.
dead and 20 terribly burned and other.
wise injured.
A strict investigation will be held to
determine the cause OF the fire. 1t Is
supposed that some OF the men in the
forward car wore skylarkfng and upset
the stove. 1t Is certain that the engi-
neer wns guilty Of criminal negligence
in not stopping tho train as soon as he
saw the Are. Had he done so the loss
Of life would have been very small.
