LINCOLN Gave Him n Pas..

Old Michael Malloy, Morris canal
boasman, tells story Of Lincoln. He
said that he had deserted from the rebel
army, and was in Washington in 1864.
His half brother, ] ohm Kelley, was q
prisoner in the old capitol prison in
Washington.
II wanted to e'Jack badly" said
Malloy, 'tbut the provost marshal
wouldn't let me pass in. I stood near the
White House when I saw Old Abe and
Secretary Stanton walking together on
the other side Of the street. Says to
myself, 'I'll see what Abe'll do, and ]
goes over and bows with my hat in nv
hand.
We'll, my good man. says Abe,
what can do for you?'
II ups and tells him how the provost
marshal gave me the marble heart, and
Stanton moves on while Abe pulls pa
per and pencil from his pocket and
writes:
''Let this man see his half brother

SOUTHERN RAILWAY MEN.
They Meet and Discuss situation-S.
A. l.. Unrepresented.

NEW YORK, August 10-The presi-
dents and general managers Of southern
transportation lines assembled in one
Of the parlors Of the Windsor Hotel to-
day, and discussed privately and for
their own satisfaction the unsatisfactory
situation. The controversy between the
Seaboard Airline and the Southern
States Freight Association has brought
about condition Of affairs that is re-
garded with much anxiety by southern
railroad men generally, and the principal
object OF this conference was to en-
deavor to devise a way Of putting stop
TO the ruinous warfare.
Colonel II. S. Haincs. chairman Of the
Southern States Freight Association;
President Samuel Spencer, and Vice
President Baldwin. Of the Southern
railway; Henry Fink. receiver OF the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and other
active transportation men took part in
to-day's discussion.
A representative Of the seaboard Air
Line was invited to attend the meeting
but no response was received from that
quarter, doubtless for the reason that
Vice-President ST. John, Of that line, re-
Gently issued his ultimatum in the form
Of a letter
1t is probable that as al result OF the
present conference some very effective
influence will be soon set at work in the
interest Of harmony.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY DISASTER.
six Persons Killed; Sixty-twO In
jured, Some Very Seriously.

LANCASTER, PA, August 1O-A dis
aster which occurred on the Columbia
and Donegal Electric-Railway, north Of
Columbia, at 1920 o'clock last night IS
the worst that has occurred in this county
m many years. Up TO the present time
six persons are dead, and sxty-two in
jured some very seriously, and several
are expected to die.
The accident occurred at a heavy curve
just north Of the borough limits Of Colum-
bia. The exact cause viii probably never be
known. the motorman being dead, and
the statements Of passengers widely DIFF
fering
a large crowd gathered at Chicks Park
last evening to enjoy a sacred concert
and escape the great heat. The Ill
fated car, a closed one was the first TO
leave the park after the concert and
was packed in every part, both plat
forms and aisle being crowded. The trip
was without incident until the heavy
grade just north Of Columbia was reach
ed The car here attained a great
velocity which the motorman was unable
10 check. The brake refused to work,
the supp5sitiOn being that the brake
rigging broke. The passengers were
thrown from Lnef tedlS, anu as lue
lights went out, they were thrown into
panic. Several jumped fr'Nn the flying
car. and others tried 10 do so as the
last curve was reached. Here the car
left the track and shot across the turn
pike. a distance Of nearly a hundred
yards, crashed into a train. and then
tumbled into a ditch twenty feet deep.
The car was turned upside down, and
as the night was intensely dark, the stu
alton, with the cries Of the dying and the
injured was a frightful one. The passen-
gers who escaped severe injury aided the
less fortunate ones. and assistance was
soon procured from Columbia. the in
jured being removed TO the hospital in the
town, where they received every atten-
ton.
Motorman Foelinger. Henry Smith. and
Willie Pinkerton We're instantly killed IN
the crash, and Burgess H. II. Heise, Of
Columbia. had his neck broken by jumping
from the flying car. W. j. Ludlow. of Sea
Glrt, r. j.. died a short time after being
removed 20 the hospital. where William
Metxger also died this morning.

credit silver.
TORONTO, ONT. August 1O.--A COM
blned effort is about to be made by the
city banks to decrease the circulation Of
American silver certificates. The fol-
lowing notice is posted In the Standard
Bank to-day:
"On and after Saturday, August 18th,
American Sl-bills will only be received
for 90 cents"
1t IS understood that other banks will
follow the example Of the Standard Bank.
This action viii probably result I'm much
decreased circulation OF American bills
in this city.
In regard 10 American silver. most Of
the CITY banks are not accepting IL AT
all. Some will accept American silver
only from customers, but only in small
amounts The railway companies refuse
10 handle IT, and the Departmental
stores are discussing the advisability OF
refusing II as money.
TORONTO'S EXAMPLE FOLLOWED.
HAMILTON. ONT. August 10.-Follow-
ING the example Of the Toronto banks, the
Merchants and other local banks here
nave decided to refuse 70 accept American
silver and silver certificates. For years
American bills and currency have been
accented at par by many merchants.
United States silver or silver certificates
will not be accepted in payment Of city
taxes This action Is not due entirely
ia the silver agitation in the United
states but TO the fact that at present
there IS too much American silver in
circulation in Canada.
