THE WORK OF A FIEND.

An ExprOss Train Wrecked Near Toledo,
Ohio-Rshs Removed and Switch
Turned.
TOLEDO, o., September 5O.-Train
AZ on the Wabash road was wrecked at
Maumee, twelve miles South, at 7
o'clock this morning, the result OF a
well-laid plan TO ditch the entire train.
Miraeulously, the heavy PUllmans kept
on the track and the mail and baggage
cars, although badly wrecked, did not
contain any victims.
+. n. Smith, engineer, Toledo, was
fatally injured; a. H. Day, fireman,
Toledo, slightly injured; Charles Hol-
land, mail clerk, Toledo, scalp wound;
F. J. Provost. mail clerk, Toledo,
slightly cut and bruised; j. w. Kreamer,
mail clerk, Disko, Ind, badly scratched
on legs and body.
The road at the lower part OF a
switch target had been removed and
the switch was thrown. The target in
dicated clear track. The engine
leaped into the air and turned
completely over, the mail cars following,
Under them were found Engineer Smith
and Fireman Day. The train was run
ming at the regular speed, and 1t is
miracle that more lives were not lost.
The express aud baggage cars were re-
duced TO splinters, yet the occupants
escaped unhurt. There were several
passengers in the ombinaton smoker,
which was wrecked beyond repair, yet
not even a scratch could be shown on
any Of them.
The passengers in the Pullmans were
not hurt. The track was cleared by
seven o'clock this evening. The engi-
neer and firemsn were new men on the
line

POLITICAL MATTERS.
HON. A. "A. LEWIS, OF WESTON. TALKS OF
DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
Mr. Towards Appointments for the Next Two
Wseks-Twsnty-four Cents for Wool
Industries Rsyiving-NOtss.

Hon. A. A. Lewis, of Weston. is In
the city on business and will remain an
til this evening. Mr.. Lewis was promi-
nently mentioned as a candidate for the
Congressional nomination in the First
district, and would have had large
following if he had permitted his name
to 90 before the convention at Clarks-
burg. A REGISTER reporter had a
pleasant chat with him at his room st
the McLure last night.
Speaking generally Of political mat
ters, Mr.. Lewis said: THE sky is
Frightening for Democracy. The party
is gaining strength all over the country,
and nowhere Is this more marked than
in the First district Of West Virginia.
There were many persons who became
im mpatient because of the protracted dis
cussion OF the tariff measures IN the
House and Senate. They expected and
wanted more prompt action. But now
that the tariff agitation is settled, and
settled in a way thatscannot bat be
satisfactory to Democrats, the dis
gruntled ones are falling into line, an1
new recruits will join the party ranks
between this time and November 9th.
l regard the outlook as very bright"
Speaking Of the eastern section or
the district, Mr.. Lewis said: Demo
Gratis are united, and will work hard
for victory. do not know OF one Dem
ocrat in Lewis county who will vote
the Republican ticket. Mr.. Howard's
nomination gives general satisfaction to
tha party and TO independent voters,
and he will receive splendid vote In
Lewis and Braxton. He will address a
meeting at the court house in Weston
on the 18th, and it will be an old time
outpouring Of Democracy. Col. w. w.
Arnett will also speak at that time. We
have arranged for number OF meet
ings after the 18th, TO be addressed by
local speakers. Capt. Dovener's friends
in our section of the district are COOS
ducting a still hunt, but the Captain
will lose many votes on account OF de-
cIlning to meet Howard In joint discus
sions."

TWO TERMS At ONCE.
Important Decision In Columbus Regard

igentiary.

Important Decision Ia Columbus Regard
ing the serving OF Sentence, In the Pen
itentiary.
COLUMBUS, September 30.-Judge
Evans, of the Common Pleas Court
yesterday decided case o. great
Importance regarding the serving
OF time in the penitentiary.
The decision was made IN the
case OF Carl Scott, alias David Hender-
son. the convict who recently brought
hsbeas corpus proceedings for the pur-
pose Of securing his release from the
penitentiary. Scott just completed q
term Of five years in the prison for bur
glary and larceny, having been
sent up from Cuyahosa county.
He was held, however, TO
complete previous sentence. which he
had been serving some years ago, ana
which was unexplred because OF his
having effected an escape. He began
the first sentence in 1879 under the
name of David Henderson, he having
been sent up from Warren county
for five years for burglary.
Henderson escaped in 1881, having
three yeas yet to serve. While In
prison the second time, the term OF
which began In 1889, Scott was recog-
nized as henderson, and when the sec
ond term was finished he was retained
for the other.
Scott based his claim for freedom on
the ground that he had been in the
presence OF the warden for five years and
therefore had in reality served out ootn
terms. Judge Evans decision snstaiDs
this claim and orders the release oil the
prisoner at once. A stay OF execution
OF the ruling has been asked and the
case will be taken to the higher court

A Plea for the Election OF Mr. Howard

SIRs:-The first and only chance the
working people the producing classes)
have OF electing a working man to Con-
gress is now in the person Of the Hon.
John A. Howard. Will they do IL? Or
will their political prejudiees allow
them TO vote against the man of the
common people who is with the party
whose sole object of existence is to e1-
eel the other party in doing the great.
est good for the greatest number OF
people? We trust not. There Is none
better qualified 30 represent the people
than one who has had experience In
earning living by the sweat Of bis
face. We think that protection for mo-
nopolies and free trade in labor is done
at least il ought to be. Suppose we
should reverse it; that would be as con-
sistent as the former. Protection
sounds well, but q tariff tax that pro-
tects capital and taxes labor is 3 jewel
that must beg for consistency. The
supply exceeding the demand for labor
cause the price of same TO fail, and vice

In the values of Ohio county farms, all
occurred under Republican rule and the
high tariff system, while now they are

Most of the heavy fall in values, too,
occurred years ago, while for year or
so they have either been stationary or
showing an appreciable upward turn.
There is no doubt that values have very
greatly diminished; all admit that, and
the REGISTER mas frequently noted the
fact, while regretting 1t. But now that
the tide seems to have turned, there
seems to be Republican disposition TO
put a stop to the stiffening Of prices,
