Death ON The Rails

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The South
ern express on the Pennsylvania road this
morning collided with an accommodation
train in West Philadelphia. Three cars
of the accommodation train were wrecked
and FIVE were killed and fifteen injured,
The names have not yet been learned.
A rumor qulcklY~-spread that it was
President Harrison's special, but this
proved untrue, as the special had already
passed on the to New York. Those
killed were in the last car of the accom-
mediation train, which was crossing the
track of the Southern express and was
hit full in the middle by the engine of
that tram, smashing it to pieces. Pas
sengers on the express train were unin.-
jured.
The crash of the colliding trains and
the screams and shrleks OF the unfortu.
nate people pinned down beneath the
broken timbers specify attracted an
excited crowd TO the scene The 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 extricatlng in
iured passengers was soon accomplished.
The accident was due to the slippery
condition of the track, making it inn
possible for the engineer of the express
to control the train. Four were killed
and 10 injured, none dangerously. The
killed are: Mr. and Mrs E L. Minizer,
Medina; Mary Reid, Medina; Rev. James
Walker, Lennia. 1t now appears the
presidents train was behind the express,
and was delayed half an hour

EDITORIAL NOTES

Washington still "hangs fire" or
the senatorial question, and the end il
not yet.
Cleveland and Gresham-mugwumI
and Republican-will run the govern
ment for the next four years, and the
country is safe.
Home-seekers are looking to the
Cherokee strip as the objective point
of invasion. They can walt little
while and go over to Hawaii and make
raid on the Kanakas.
Chairman Harrity has issued cir
cular, at the dictation of Cleveland,
to Democrats, forcing them into line
on the presidents policy. Will they
be dumb-driven cattle
The Scotch-Kanaka princess of the
Sandwic Islands will visit this coun-
try very soon, and the people will be-
hold an exhibition of American-repub-
lican snobbery to foreign royalty.
Secretary of State Foster has re-
signed his portfolio to take part in the
Behring sea arbitration which will
convene soon in Paris. He has but
few days to serve as cabinet minister
before ne would be replaced by another
good Republican, and his resignation
was well timed.
Rufus Hatch, the creature of ad-
verse fortune, at one time a million
aire, but in recent years poor In this
worlds goods, is dead. He was on
the pinnacle of fame in financial cir
cles at three different times, but the
losing venture of Henry Willard ir the
Northern Pacific completely wrecked
him, from which he never recovered.
Judge Gresham may not be honored
by his party as he would have been if
he had refused to accept portfolio
from Democratic president; but he
will never prove recreant to Republi-
can principles, which have been en-
grated into him during many years
of affiliation with the political organi-
zation which was brought into exist
euce by the exigencies of the slavery
question.
Governor Pennoyer hasf;vetoed the
Durham bill, and President Fulton,
who has been denominated the Caesar
Of the senate because he believed il
the rule of the majority, should receive
no more adverse criticism from the |
press. Democracy holds
sacred the privilege of securing success
BY chicanery and fraud. and if honest
legislation triumphs, the party will
make Rome howl about constitutional
tights. This has been the history CT

An Accident at Franklin.

FRANKLIN, Wash, Feb. 2I-Iohn T
IIowells and Albert Stendil, miners at sec
ton s, above Franklin, were instantly killed
by the giving away of the staging, on which
they were working in shaft at 2 O'Clock
this morning. Neither was married. The
result of'the inquest by the coroner was that
the staging was constructed by the deceased.
and no blame is attached to the company.
Howells was Welsh, and Stendil was a
Swede. Both were well and favorably known
in franklin. Howells was member of the
knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows, and his
funeral takes place tomorrow under their au-
spices. Stendil's remains were removed to
Seattle.
The body of A. B. Downy was found under
the first trestle above Black Diamond at /
O'Clock today. The body was viewed by DR.
D. NJ. Stone, and an inquest was held by the
coroner, but no verdict was given. The body

Gov. Pennoyer has not stopped ve-
toing, notwithstanding the fact that
the legislature has adjourned, and yes
terday returned four of these, all with
proper messages. House bill 103 Is
put on the black list, because it is con-
trary to the statutes in such cases
made and provided, and prescribes a
method for the foreclosure of mort
cages or other instrument of writing
to secure payment of money than
that which is held by the supreme
court to be Imperative and exclusive.
Another, house bill No. ITO, is similar
In intent to senate bill No. los, and
he wisely used his veto measure.
The Durham law also meets with bis
disapproval, because, it would, in
measure, destroy the secresy and sane
tlty of the ballot. And doomed to the
same fate is house bill No. 206, be-
cause. such expenditure of money
would be neither for governments
purposes nor for the general benefit.
There is undoubtedly great individual
ity in Sylvester Pennoyer, and, in
many instances,he is correct; but some
times, by his innate stubbornness and
bulldog tenacity for what he CON-
ceives to be right, he frequently does
injury to public institutions which are
intended to advance the best interests
of the commonwealth.

The death of Rev. Gushing Eells

The death of Rev. Gushing Eells
removes from active life the oldest
protestant missionary to the northwest.
In 1888 he and his wife started for
the west, and located at Lapwai, where
they preached the gospel of Christ
to the Indians, and for many years
lived and labored with these untutored
aborigines. Mr. Eells translated into
Nez Perces the New Testament, and
printed several copies for distribution
among that people. Since that time
the reverend gentleman has lived in
the northwest, and by his consistent
Christian conduct and benevoIence has
made many friends. He lived until
his eighty-third birthday, and there
are few men who will leave such a
shining record behind them. He was
an ordained minister of the Congrega-
tional church, and, perhaps, has been
the means of establishing more places
of worship Of that denomination than
any minister on the Pacific coast. His
life was spent for the Master, and
now he has received his reward.

Some New Eat ts.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 21-The Globe in the
morning will publish an interview with
K J. Kimberley of Honolulu, who was
present there during the recent change OF
government, which contains considerable
new details. Kimberley is en- route 10
England and will deliver to the English
government some important papers, CIV
Ing some new facts in conHectioD with
the new government in Hawaii. He ex
planned that England had been making
attempts to get possessions OF the Islands
for some time. and would have succeeded
had it not been for the unexpected execu
tlon of the Americans plans. He says
that on the day of the declaration or the
new government there were not more
than a dozen men who demanded the
change. He further asserts that The Ger
man planters, who for several years have
been trying to have the island annexed
by their government, were very angry at
the organization of the new government.
About 100 Germans and natives started
TO drive the american volunteers away
from the police station and palace. Mr.
Kimberley continued:
"There were number of English who
sided with the Germans in view OF the
hlghhanded proceedings of the Amerl-
cans. To show bow strong was the pop
uIar sentiment against the Americans,
men were armed from the German and
English consulates. They moved up tc
the palace at midnight in solid body
They made demand for the surrender
of the Americans and when they refused
to comply shot at them. The Americans
ran at them with loaded guns and delib-
erately shot back at them. Four Ger
mans were killed. The Americans
threatened to shoot them all if they con-
tlnuej to interfere, and the men soon
retired. TIE Americans allowed them to
carry awav the dead bodies of the men
who were shot. We afterward had a
consultation over the matter, but the
German and EDghsh consuls declined to
take any further steps in the matter.
The Americans claimed the men were
killed in street fight with each other
al d no official report of the matter was
made. l do not suppose the Americans
would give the islands mp to England,
but their will be protest against their
continuing in possession"

w. B. Smallwood, not Woodhall as previously
reported, the unfortunate man who was lost
in the recent snow storm while on his way

ldence at the inquest, 1t seems probable that
Mr.. Smallwood was not in his right mind

his departure, he made will in favor of one
of the members of his church. He claimed
that he came from Washington, Kan, and
also that he had several children living in
Ohio. In his will he bequeathed every par
eel Of his estate, which he valued at $50, 900,

children were not mentioned He was to-
tai stranger in Columbus when he arrived

ceived to confirm the various statements he
made. The verdict of the coroner's jury was
that the deceased came to his death from ex-
haustion and chill.

viii Defeat the sundry civil Bi

WAsHINToN, Feb, 2I-The silver men in
the house claim that they will have strength
enough to prevent the passage of the sundry
civil bill under any parliamentary tactics that
may be adopted to get it through. They say
that they have no hope of getting the Sher-
man amendment out of the chances, but will
defeat the whole bill. They say that their
plans are all laid, and the force of fiibusterers
against the bill will be almost as strong as
silver In the house. They will fight 1t by
dure, and they claim that it will be imposai-
BILE to pass it under the rules or get signatures
enough to secure cloture. In fact, they re-
gard it as certain that they will defeat the
bill. This, of course, would make an extra
session absolutely necessary.

court of oyer and terminer to-day, to be ex-
ecuted the week beginning April 10, 1893.
Counsel F.. B. House objected, saying the
court could not sentence him, as an appeal
had taken the case out of that court. The
point was overruled. Sliney killed Bob
Lyons in his butcher shop in Cherry street.
Three contradictory stories were told, in one
of which he implicated Bob's brother Jim.
Sliney was taken to Sing Sing, where he will
