Decr and the starter.

ALBANY. April 22.-The state Board Of Rail-
road Commissioners has finished its investiga-
ton Of the head-on collision on the Ninth ave-
nue. elevated railroad, which occurred on March
81. when u light engine running north on the
centre track smashed into the engine of a matt
nee and shopping train, which was coming
south on the high curve near 10th street.
The Board finds that Schroeder, the engineer
OF the light engine. was at fault in not getting
positive orders from Dispatcher smith to go
north from tifty-ninth street on the centre
track, but IL also declares that 1t was smiths
proper track, and to have kept the centre track
clear for the passenger train coming south.
1t recommends that hereafter all engines
which are switched at Flfty-ninth street and
Ninth avenue on Saturdays, when the extra
matinee trains are running south, should have
written orders how they are to proceed.

ardent republican, residing in Pomona, Cal,
| believed that trap could be laid to decoy
Englishmen into admitting that on account
of his free trade proclivites the election
of Cleveland was what England most de-
sired. Accordingly he wrote to several men
in public life in England and Canada, and
under the guise of an Englshman lately nat
uralized as an American, asked them how
to vote to add to the prosperity of the
mother as well as the adopted country.
To this he signed the name Charles f.
Murchison." Lord Sackville was the only
one who replied His letter, which at once
fourS its way into print, was an amusing
mixture of stupidity and impertiHence. As a
result he was packed on, bag and baggage,
to England
The letter proved splendid weapon in
the hands of Blaine, who was then TAX
ing an active interest in the canvass for
Harrison. At the great Irish-American
meeting held in New York just after the
Murchison letter was published the cor
respondence was used with telling effect.
Thousands OF copies of the Murchison let
ter and Lord Sackville's reply were pre-
pared especially for this meeting, and on the
top of the paper used the British crest
was emblazoned in all its glory. Just before
Blaine mounted the platform perfect shower
of these circulars was thrown from the
galleries of Madison Square Garden upon the
heads of the crowds on the floor. When
Blaine appeared every one in the audience
had a copy of the letter in his hand, and
when the Plumed Knight took up the sub
ject the effect was magical. Every one
declared that night that Blaine was at his
best.
