A Bad Accident.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.J

Saco, December DIR. Dennett was
summoned to the schooner Jonathan
Sawyer, at one of the wharves, late last
night, to dress the wounds of a sailor who
had narrowly escaped death by fall.
The sailor was George Schuburth, of
the crew of the schooner Joseph Luther,
which arrived here Friday with cargo
of coal. Capt. Reynolds of the Jonathan
Sawyer had gone home to Dover, N. H.,
to pass the Sabbath, and some of his
crew took advantage of his absence to
hold an informal evening reception on
board. During the reception the flowing
bowl was indulged in to such an extent
that when the party broke up there was
little thought of open matches or other
impending danger of the visitors exit.
Sohuburth stumbled at the forward
hatch and plunged headlong into the
Jonathan Sawyer's hold, striking on the
edge of a big coal bucket that had been
used in discharging the cargo Of COAL He
was found in an unconscious condition
which continued for some time after the
arrival of DR.. Dennett and City Marshal
Miles, who were hastily summoned
Luckily the wound was not serious one,
though several stitches were required to
close it.
One OF the Jonathan Sawyer's seamen
was taken off in an intoxicated condition
and locked up.

kilograms under yesterdays date, picture
the pitiable condition of affairs at Har-
poot where the American mission build

poot show there is great danger Of hun

These people are absolutely without
food and without means OF getting any.
The American missionaries have sent
thousands of dollars to relieve this dis
tress, but the sums furnished, have gone
but little way toward warding off the
famine which threatens. There are so
many persons homeless, foodless and
helpless, that nothing but government
relief will save them from a greater
disaster.
The people are now in condition OF
apathy. many, it is believed would well
come death at the hands of their enemies,
rather than await the slow process OF
starvation. Some who have little

NO "GRAB RAILS"
And Inspectors Detained the Freight Cars
In Consequence.

Somerville, N. j., December /. The
United States law relating to ''grap
rails' or hand rails for. the safety of train
men on freight cars, which went into
effect at IL O'Clock last night, resulted
in the stalling here of hundred cars at
tached to the fast freight lines to the
west. The cars. which are the property
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad Com
pany, are side tracked at the junction of
the Philadelphia & Reading and Central
New Jersey.
The new. law imposes penalty of $4,000
on railroads running cars without grab
rails. A large force Of inspectors were
stationed at the junction at midnight
with instructions to detain all cars not
fitted with rails. A large force of work
men has been at work today fitting up the
stalled cars 1t is believed that the 1alu-
able freight will be moved before morn

ANOTHER CRASH!
A New York & Philadelphia Express
Train
DAsHES INTO A FREIGHT AT
PREBLE STATION.

On the Delaware and Lackawana Railroad
Two Killed and Many Wounded-An
Open Switch Caused 1.-THE Wreck Was
Intentional Probably-The Switch Was
Found LOCKED Open."-It Happened
at Preble Station.
Syracuse, N. Y, December 2.-The
New York and Philadelphia express on
the Delaware and Lackawana railroad
was wrecked half mile north of Preble
station, twenty six miles south Of this
city at 12. 80 this afternoon. The train
was running fifty miles an hour. A
siding at Preble was opened to allow a
freight train to get out of the way of the
express. The switch was left open.
The train crashed into the freight cars
on the siding, telescoping three. The
engine and tender Of the express were
demolished and the engineer, George
Young was killed. Fireman Webster
was taken from beneath the wreck of
the engine, but died soon after.
AT least dozen passengers were badly
injured. The baggage car was reduced to
kindling wood and caught fire from the
engine The passengers had hardly time
to get out of the cars before the whole of
the train was in blaze
The scene of the wreck Is half a mile
from any house, and the passengers had
to assist themselves and the injured.
About fifty passengers were in the train.
At 1.3O the whole train was still in
flames. A train with doctors on board
was sent from Syracuse. 1t developed
that the wrecking of the train was un-
doubtedly meditated, as the switch was
found locked open, after the wreck
occurred.
1t is impossible to get fuller particulars
this AFTERNOON, as the scene of the wreck
is half mile from any telephone or tele-
graph Office.

The caucus was very large one, the
great Republican majority swarming in
marked contrast to the small Democratic
caucus this afternoon. The scene when
Mr.. Reed entered the caucus after having
been nominated by acclanation, was re-
markable. Before him was gathered
larger majority than was ever before

Washington, November 3O.-The scene
around the chamber of the House of
Representatives tonight was an animated
one. AS early as O'Clock, all the ap-
proaohes leading to the House were filed
with crowds of people who anticipated
a heated caucus and who desired to par
ticipate in the excitement. That the
members themselves were deeply in
terested in the work in hand was
evidenced by the large number who were
on the floor fully an hour before the
caucus met. When the gentlemen arriv ed
they visited. the headquarters of their re-
spective candidate. 1t was apparent then
that if the number of callers at the
several headquarters was an indication of
the strength of the various candidates,
the combine" had the call. While Gen.
Henderson's headquarters. which were
located in the appropriations committee
room, were well filled with mbers.
who. like himself, represented the older
and more conservative element, 1t was
difficult to accommodate the tide of
through the wide doorway of the ways
and means committee room. where Mr..
Mcdowell and Mr.. Glenn, the so-called
combine candidates for clerk and door
keeper were stationed. One hundred and
forty-two representatives were among the
hundreds who called, and these severally
assured Messrs. Mcdowell and Glenn of
their support. AS 1913 votes were sufficient
to elect even if the entire 244 Republicans
were present, it was plain that the lead
ing members of the Mcdowell Glenn
ticket were certain Of
ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN
On the first ballot.
The caucus settled down to work
promptly at s O'Clock, with Mr.. Hooker
of New York, the secretary of the caucus,
in the chair. The first test of the relative
strength of the Mcdowell ticket and it's
opponents was sowhnsin the vote on the
election of the chairman of the caucus.
William A. Stone Of Pennsylvania, who
had been the personal manager for MIR.
Mcdowell and those associated with him,
nominated the veteran Ohioan, General
Charles H. Grosvenor, while MI Doll1ver
Iowa, who represented the Henderson
forces, proposed the name Of Mr.. Hender-
son Of Iowa. At the conclusion OF the
roll call, the vote stood 1856 for Grosvenor
to 70 for Henderson. This showed the
presence of 228 members and it disclosed
the fact that the Mcdowell forces had
not overrated their strength. Mr..
Hopkins Of Illinois placed Mr.. Ellis of
Oregon in nomination for secretary of
the caucus for the 54th Congress and Mr..
| Mercer of Nebraska nominated Mr..
Hooker of New York. MIR. Ellis was
elected 139 to n.

peace are regarded as very good but
there will be no arnistice until a con-
ference is had between the Chinese En-
voys and the Japanese representatives
Ii Hung Chang has full power, and is
this effect. All of his rivals have been
dispersed, and if his mission is successful
many reforms will be instituted. Wung
Tung Ho, the Emperor's tutor, who has
all along been the most powerful foe to
progress, is now out of favor at the pal
ace. and all of the high officials at the
palace have experienced complete change
of sentiment
Mr.. Pethick, American tutor to the
children of Ii Hung Chang, has been
appointed private adviser of the inter
prefers who will accompany the mission.

LA LIBERTAD AT PORT EADs.

NEW ORLEANS. La. March 5. 1885,
The Mexican warship La Libertad. SO
long overdue. and for which great ankle
ty has been felt was towed to Port Eads
this morning and will proceed to the city
as soon as she has coaled.
On February % two of the Lib
ertad's officers left the vessel in small
boats for assistance and arrived in New
Orleans They report that the Libertad
was forty miles off the mouth of the
Mississippi having lost most of her sails
and was short of coal. Tugs were i'm
mediately despatched to her assistance
For two days last week the, wind was
so high and the sea SO rough that the
tugs could not go out, and it was thought
that the La Libertad had taken refuge
returned to Port Eads, after having made
another search for the, missing vessel,
and reported being unable to find her.
1t was believed that she might have been
lost, but news comes from Port Eads,
this morning, that she is safe and is
being towed into port
