II Speaker Reed has counted upon
the support OF any silver Repub-
licans in his fight for the Presi.
Dental nomination he would better
scratch them from his calculations.
They know him now for their
enemy. Not because Of the vote by
which the House refused TO agree
to the free coinage substitute for
the House bond bill, which was
passed by the Senate, because they
knew all the time that large ma.
jority of the House was opposed to
silver, and that Mr.. Reed himself
would vote against free coinage, as
ne had done before. It is for the
unexpected knockdown blow which
has been administered TO silver by
the action of the House committee

that the silver men are blaming
Speaker Reed. IL is no secret that
the action Of the committee was
taken solely because 1t was known
that Arizona would have sent tWo
silver Senators, and it is regarded
ss certain that the reason will
cause the committee to take the
same action on the bills for the
admission Of New Mexico and
Oklahoma. The silver men charge
that Speaker Reed selected the
members Of the committee with tho
special view Of having them block

Tho Senate this week adopted a
resolution direction the Secretary

The Senate has passed n bill ap-

The Republican Senator'S are still
very much in doubt about their

TO make some sort OF q deal with
the Populists to get tho House

nominated by their caucus with the
exception OF the Assistant Door
keeper who was elected to al the
vacancy caused by tho death of
Captain Bassett.
The papers covering the Waller
case we're this week sent to Con.
gress by President Cleveland, in
answer to recent resolution ask
ing for them. Aud il they do not
make certain Republicans who have
been using tins case to make polit-
lcal capital feel like fools they must
be queerly constituted. Instead of
having neglected Waller because he
was negro, as these Republicans
have so loudly asserted, the admin.
lstration has, because he is an
American citizen. succeeded in get.

Disastrous Freight Wreck on
the 0. and c. Railroad.
TWO MEN WERE INJURED
Dropped Through a Burning
TrestIe Over NeuS5 River.
WAS CONSUMED WITH BRIDGE
Engineer Glenn, of Raleigh Was Pain
fully Injured and Fireman
Ferguson Was Badly
Burned.

Sunday morning as the freight train
was coming from Keysville over the
D, and c. road a most disastrous
wreck occurred at the Neuse trestle,
some twelve miles from Durham.
Just beyond the long trestle coming
from Kelsville there is a short curve
and a downward grade. Upon round
ing the curve and when in a short dis
lance away the engineer discovered
that the trestle was on fire. The en-
CINE was reversed, but it was too late
and before the man at the throttle had
time, for a moments reflection the
train was on the burning trestle. The
engine and the entire train of cars
went down to a depth of some twelve
or fifteen feet below carrying destruc-
ton as they went. Miles Glenn, one
of the best and bravest men on the
road, stood firmly at his post TO the
last moment and the wonder is that
he and his fireman We're not instantly
killed. Mr.. Glenn was badly bruised,
but his physicians say no bones were
broken. His injuries were painful
though it is hoped not serious. The
fireman was pretty we'll shaken up, but
his injuries are not SO painful as those
of the engineers. Irwin Wood, one of
the force suffered a severe sprain of
the ankle in jumping from the rear
end of the train.
While the crew escaped the fire rag
ed on until every part of the train ex-
cept what was iron was consumed by
the flames. Fortunately for the rail
road the cargo was not a very large
or expensive one. There were six
loaded cars, one of which was marked
to a Durham firm, that too, went up in
smoke
1t could not be ascertained what
the probable loss to the railroad will
be, but it will likely be several thou
sand dollars.
Thus far everything seems to be in
the dark as to the origin of the fire.
Hands were at work rebuilding the
trestle and there was a quantity of
shavings scattered around. A spark
might have been dropped from a pre-
viously passing train or it might have
been the work of the mischief-makers
No one has been seen who could tell
anything about this part of it.
A large force was put to work Sun
day clearing away the debris and re-
placing the burnt trestle and it will
only be a short time till the trains will
pass over as usual Now the train
goes out from Durham and passen-
gers, mail and express are transferred
at the river.
Reports from the wounded are to the
effect that all are doing well. Mr..
Glenn's injuries were not serious and
his physicians reports him in pretty
fair condition.

THE PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS HERE

What is known as the annual Au-
gust association of the Primitive Bap-
lists has been held in Durham for the
past three days. Services began Sat
urday morning at II o'clock, the open.
ing session being preached by Rev.
). J. Hall, of Durham. The meetings
were held in Parrish's warehouse Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday. No time
was lost. There was preaching morn
ing, afternoon and night. Usually two
sermons at every service.
The crowd was not SO large as has
been witnessed on similar occasions,
though on Sunday night an immense
congregation was in attendance.
The number of ministers here was
large. Among the number were some
of rare ability.
Durham, as it always does, threw
open its doors and spread abroad it's
accustomed hospitality These good
people doubtless left with good opin-
ion of Durham and it's people.
