SwITCHBACK ACCIDENT.
One of the Injured Passengers
Was From Asheville.

An account of the serious accident on a
''switchback" at Raleigh. in which a
number of pupils of St. Mary's school
were injured, was printed in THE CITIZEN
yesterday, although the name of one of
those injured was not given in the dis
patch. Miss Sadie Johnson OF Asheville.
was one of the injured. although her
hurts were not cerious. The following
account of the accident is taken from
the Raleigh News and Observer:
lone car was started from the end OF
the track next to the grand stand and
had proceeded a short distance when the
other car was started from the other end
by Mr.. A F. Bowen, who was in charge
of the switchback. He meant it to go on
the other track, but when it had left his
hands and struck the switch or frog, to
the horror of all it jumped to the wrong
track and shot like an arrow down the
rapidly sloping track to meet the other
ca- coming in the opposite direction on
the same track. Every heart stood still
and the blood chilled in the veins, for the
awful crash which was coming was fore
seen by everybody. and there was no
human means of ayertiuR the disaster.
"The cars met at the lowest point OF
the track where both had attained their
highest velocity and momentum, going
at the rate of a railroad train. The
crash was folio wed by grinding of wood
work and cries of agony. The scene
which followed can scarcely be described
in language.
"a view of the telescoped carriages
| showed that the end of one had been
broken off, and thrown back upon the
other. SO that the iron axle was exposed
and jammed against the opposite car"
RALEIGH, N. c., April 6.-Among the
children hurt at the switchback accident,
was Frances HOnQa0n neIce OF Frances
Hodgson Burnett. She, as well as the
| others hurt are better. No deaths have
yet occurred. Some amputations will

The Barnacles are Going.

WASHINGTON. April lit is not too
much to say that Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration has achieved better success
in welding the broom than any ad-
ministration since the war. The
time. servers and barnacles who have
long fed at the public crib are in actual
terror, and good many have already
walked out of Office, or rather have been
kicked out. Four years of Mr. Cleve
lands service has made him quite tamil
lar with the details of administrative
work, and his cabinet of officers have set
themselves diligently at work to weed
out the supernumeraries, cut off the sine

THE "NO.EX" RULE.
II 10 0tiSl I'm Force When Special
lY Needed.


" Needed.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The fact that
President Cleveland has been making
exceptions to his "no-reappointment"
rule has given much encouragement to
those ex-otficeholders who are again
candidates for federal positions. 1t was
in the belief that the President did not
contemplate that strict adherence to the
rule with which common report had
credited him, that caused representa-
tive Meridith of Virginia to present to
Cleveland yesterday the name of Col.
Catlett Gibson of Culpeper, Va, for the
position held during Cleveland's first in
cumbency OF district attorney for the
eastern distric: of Virginia. Meredith
was not left long in doubt that he had
interpreted the mo ex" rule too hope
fully. for Cleveland quickly put dam
per on Col. Gibson's aspirations in these
words: II might as well be frank with
you, Mr.. Meredith, can't appoint your
friend"
Meredith states that the mo ex" rule
is still in force and that this rule alone
barred Col. Gibbons from securing his
old position.
