DEMOCRAT OUTLOOK.
The Condition of the Country
Under the Present Regime
Other Notes.

Special G correspondence of THE HERALD
Washington, D. C. July s,
1S95.-Much is heard in Wash
ington about the Quay and
anti-Quay fight in Pennsyl
vania. Nobody would care
much under ordinary circums
tances whether Quay continued
to boss the republicans of the
Keystone State or gave way to
Hastings, Wanamaker or some
other boss, but the presidential
politics in the fight is what has
excited general interest. 1t is
really the first Of a long string
of fights for the control of state
delegations to next years Re
publican National Convention.
Senator Cameron was egotis-
teal enough at one time to
think that he could get the
delegation for himself, but he
doesn't think so now; he will be
very lucky indeed if he can
succeed in holding on to his
seat in the Senate. Quay was
supposed to be for Mckinley,
but he has recently come out
for Reed. Wanamaker is, Of
course, for Harrison. 1t is be
lieved that the result of the
fight will show which of the
republican candidates can count
upon the solid Pennsylvania
delegation to the National Con
vention, and that the winner
will have taken a long step
towards getting the nomination.
Many people appear to be
under the impression that the
entire South is in white heat
on account Of political discus
sions, but that isn't the way
men directly from that section
who occupy positions which
enable them to speak author
itatively on political subjects,
talk. Tor instance, Represent
alive Bate, OF Georgia, who is
in Washington on business,
says: Political matters in
Georgia, are very quiet just
now. The Legislature that will
elect Senator Gordon's success
sor will not be chosen until
next year, and there is little
talk now about candidates. Our
people are busy getting i'll their
crops, which, | am glad to say,
promise to be good. | don't
know how the state would go
on the free coinage question,
1t will be time enough to settle
that when we have TO vote upon
it, if we ever do" Mr.. Bates

RAILWAY LEGISLATION
IN ARKANSAS.

At tie recent session Of the
Arkansas Legislative a mum
Der of acts of more or less i'm
portance to railway companies,
shippers and passengers were
passed. The chief of these are
briefly summarized below:
Act Is prescribes the manner
in which corporations may re-
duce their capital stock, either
by releasing unpaid subscripa
tons or by refunding to shares
holders a portion Of the amounts
paid in by them.
Act 80 regulates the sale of
unclaimed freight and baggage.
Such goods remaining on hand
six months may be sold at auc-
ton on 20 days notice, and
proper advertisement. A pro-
vision in the law forbids rail-
roads TO charge storage cn bag
gage for the first 48 hours, or
10 charge hiore than 5 cents a
day thereafter. This provision
seems to allow a charge of 5
cents day on each $50 pounds.
Act 81 requires railroads to
give each shipper of live stock,
by the car load, pass to des-
tination and return, under pen
atty of from S100 to $500.
Act 1l2 makes it unlawful to
charge more freight on a double
decked car of sheep than upon
a car of live stock other than
sheep:
Act f53 requires all railroad
and vessel agents in the coun-
ties OF Arkansas, Lonoke;
Monroe, Prairie and Crittenden
10 keep register of live stock
exported from the county, show
ing the number, mark, brands
and a general description of the
animals. The items of these
registers must be fled with the
Country Clerk once a month,
and The Clerk must be paid %
cents for each report.

BURIED UNDER COAL.
a Terrible Wreck on the Ohio

RESULTING IN THREE FATALITIES.
They are In the River Buried Beneath
Four Hundred Tons of COal-The

Cars Dropped Below.

SPRISGFIELD, o., Aug. IA fatal
wreck on the Ohio Southern Railway,
yesterday afternoon, at Pain River.
forty miles south of here. At this point
there is a two-span bridge over the
river. A westward coal trat in of thirty
five cars struck the bridge, which had
been considered perfectly safe. The
structure gave way in both spans and
the engine dropped twenty-five feet
into water which at that point is thirty
feet deep. The coal cars followed the
engine until twenty had piled up in the
river. The remainder of the train had
by this time become checked and stop
ped on the track.
Engineer Clint Radcliffe, Fireman
Martin Houser, and Brakeman William
HincoX, who were all in the cab at the
time the bridge collapsed, went down
without moments warning and were
drowned. They are at present buried
in the river under four hundred tons
Of coal. They all lived here. Tie re-
mainder of the train crew escaped. In
connection with the accident, it is re-
ported that four tramps who were steal
ing ride went down to death with
the train
This cannot be substantiated until
the debris in the river is examined but
seems to be true. A wreclzing train is
now on the scene doing what it can.
Late this evening it was learned that
the cause of the wreck was that the
bridge caught fire and had burned in
two at the time the engine struck it.
Work was begun at once on the wreck
when crew and train arrived. The
debris was removed so that the body of
the engineer could be seen pinned in
the cab but cannot be released. The
engineer and fireman ware single. The
brakeman was married and leaves
wife and two children.
