COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Oct. 16.-
II. c. Marsh, foreman OF the Pixies
Peak Cog railroad, died from injuries
received yesterday while coasting down
the rack route on tobogan slide. He
started from the summit shortly after
the passenger train on an arrangement
fitted up with double set OF cleats to
retain hold OF the center rack. or cog
rail OF the road, and which Is fitted with
peculiar brake applied from the sides
The rack rail is covered with grease
and oil dripping from the humpback
engine and is exceedingly slippery.
Marsh shot down the Is per cent. grade
like bolt OF lightning, taking the
curves with speed that was hair.rais
ing. He rounded Windy Point and
started down to the Halfway House,
when the brake broke in an attempt TO
apply it, and the toboggan, with moth
ing to impede it, gained in momentum
at frghtful rate. The passenger train
that had left the summit was over
hauled and Marsh crashed into it with
terrible force, sustaining internal in
iuries from which he died within an
hour.

The WESTERN STATE HOSPITAL
The board of directors of :he Western
State Hospital,,,at Staunton, held their
annual meeting and inspection Of that
institution for the insane yesterday and
found everything in a gratifying con-
dition. The sixty-ninth annual report,
laid by Superintendent Dr. Benjamin
Blackford before the board, shows that
from the year of its opening QS50 to
September 80, 1896, 5,272 patients have
been received, OF whom l ,4S7 died aud
1856 were discharged, leaving in the
hospital on that date 799 patients.
This is an increase of 81 since the be.
ginning ofthe fiscal year, October 1896.
The daily average attendance during
the year was 1852, which were support d
at cost for maintenance of $3.50 81 per
capita, which is the lowest in the history
of the institution; 40 patients were dis.
charged during the year, SO of them as
recovered and on bond. There were
30 deaths-29 males, 81 females. Ofthe
deaths it is curious to note that were
over eighty years old, 5 over seventy, 7
over sixty and 6 over fifty. Chiefamong
the impl ovements made during tt g yesr
was the building OF a new brick laundry
and its equipment with latest-improved
machinery. Under the management of
Blackford and the
board ofdirectors this institution stands
at the head in point of efficiency and
equipment of any institution in Virginia,
aud is said by competent judges TO
be the equal ofany anyhere. 1t is thor
oughly p-to-date in every respect.

asks the antecedents OF those whom he
seeks 10 strike.
It is fit to remember in this connec-
ton that Mr.. Carlisle. Mr.. Herbert and
Mr.. Wilson, associates OF this man.
Morton, in the Cabinet, have voted Tor
free coinage, every one Of them, and
are thus fairly conprehended in the
scope ofhis invective and foul charges.
Mr.. Herbert indeed spoke against the
gold conspiracy shortly before en-
tering Mr.. Cleveland'3 Cabinet. But
who and what Is Mr.. Morton: He is
the organ and parasite Of Mr.. Cleve'
land-the same man who, after he had
in two Presidential elections received
the votes OF every Southern State for
President, went out Of his way in pub
lie addresses at the North to vilify the
South in respect to her course in the
civil war. Like master, like man. To
the self.respecting people Of the South
these two men are now fully unmask-
ed. They will rank in history with
Martin Van Buren,, Aaron Burr and
Benedict Arnold, equaling them in
treachery, but falling far below them
in point of ability. The pint and the
quart measure may both be quite full
but no fat snort of a miracle by Divine
Power can make the former hold as
much as the latter.

REPUBLICAN AUTHORITIES on
SILVER.

At Grand Rapids, Mich. last night
Mr.. Bryan addressed one OF the largest
audiences he has yet spoken to during
the campaign. There were three meet
ings arranged for.
At the first meeting he spoke to as
large crowd as could wedge itself in
at the junction Of four streets. When
Mr.. Bryan spoke to the ladies in Pow
ers' Opera House that place was filled
with feminine humanity. The last ad-
dress Of the evening, that in Lockerby
Hall, was delivered before an audience
the size of which was limited to the
space inside the walls.
While the speech to the women was
not the principal one in regard to
length, Mr.. Bryan made it of special
interest in his arraignment of republi-
can leaders. He put Col Robert 6. In
gersoll, Murat Halstead, ex-President
Benjamin Harrison, and Secretary OF
the Treasury Carlisle in the same cate.
CORY as Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde.
His denunciation Of those who once ad-
vocated silver. legislation and are now
opposed TO free coinage was scathing
aud bitter and he quoted what Inger-
soil, Murat Halstead, and Secretary
Carlisle said of silver money. He said:
Now, in your discussion Of the money
question we can prove our cause in
many ways. We can apply principles
we'll known to this question and by the
application OF those principles make the
subject clear but that is not sufficient.
We can prove our cause by authority,
and there is rot position which we
take in this campaign but what we are
able to support that position by the su-
thority OF the most eminent republi.
cans in this country"

AS ALL sorts Of business in this coun-
try is depressed, the receipts of the
Postofiice Department for the last quar-
ter, consequently, show large falling
of. Uncertainty respecting the currency
is one of the chief causes of the bust
ness depression referred to, and that de-
preston will of course exist as long as
the cause thereof shall continue, and
nothing is more certain than the fact
that if the resumption of silver coinage
be defeated next month, the fight for
it, and therefore the uncertainty re-
speeding it, will continue during four
more years.

that instructions will perhaps be sent to Mgr.
