with Fatal Eject.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. l6-Accord-
ing to stories told by passengers on the
Pennsylvania railroad western express,
which left Harrisburg westbound at
1l:55 o'clock last night, the train had a
remarkable escape from train wreckers
near the village of Newport at one
o'clock this morning At sharp curve
the engine ran into huge obstruction,
composed of ties and old rails, and it
was heavy enough to have derailed the
entire train had it held in place, but
the obstruction slid along the tracks,
owing to it's wet condition, and fortu-
nately did no damage beyond breaking
the pilot and some of the fixtures from
the front of the engine. No shock was
felt by the passengers on the train
beyond that accustomed from the sud-
den stop. This is the second attempt
to wreck train at this point within
two weeks.

a bit of glass lie has resigned from
the hypnotic club.

RRYAN,s nusY DAY.
The Democratic Candidate Addresses O
Crowd at Two In the Morning.

Crowd at TWO In the MORNING.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 16. -Yester-
day was what William j. Bryan called
an easy day. He was up at two o'clock
this morning, after retiring at mid
night, to address several hundred peo-
pie who had remained awake to see
him at Somerset, KY, when his train
reached there. Somerset is republican
stronghold, but the democrats in the
gathering were sufficiently strong to
awake everybody on the train with
their yells. Mr.. Bryan said he thought
when people remained up to two
o'clock in the morning that it was an
indication that they were interested in
self protection. He advised them to
get up as early on election day.
Knoxville is the seat of republican
ism in eastern Tennessee, but its
streets were crowded with people this
morning to see the democratic nomi-
nee. The train on which Mr.. Bryan
made the journey from Lexington,
Ky, reached the Southern railway at
$50 this morning A crowd that APP
preached in size the great gathering
addressed by Mr.. Bryan yesterday at
Lexington greeted the nominee here.
The size of the crowd was estimated
rs high as 10000. Mr.. Bryan was loud
~ cheered. After he had finished he
returned to the Southern railway sta
ton at 0:ij and left for Asheville, N.
c., on a special train.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1G.-The rubber gas

in the American steam laundry sud-
denly shot out of place early yesterday
afternoon, the big room was filled
with escaping heat and smoke, and
there was panic among the 10 or so
girls on that floor. When the gasket
few out of place the report was so
loud that the girls thought the steam
pipes had burst and those nearest the
mangle were overcome by the escap-
ing steam and fell in faint. A dozen
others started pell nell for the door,
several fell down and were run over,
and all the rest were screaming for
their lives. One or two men about the
place came to the rescue, and saw that
nothing more serious had occurred to
the girls than a bad scare, with the
exception of two who were nearest the

THE CUSTOM HOUSE FORCES.
Reductions In tho Number OF Employees to
Be Made Wherever 1t Is Possible
In Order to Reduce the -. .saza,
Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, Sept 16. - Treasury
steady increase of the gold reserve as
u natural consequence of the recent
strong current of the yellow metal
from Europe to these shores. On the
lst inst. the reserve was dangerously
near the legal tender limit of 500, 0OO,-
900, and fora time it was feared thai
the government, much against its in
clination, would have to again resort
to the issue of bonds for the lehabili-
tation of Its gold balance. At that
time, however, there occurred favor
able turn in the financial tide, due, it
is asserted, to the natural course of
business, and the gold reserve
has shown most encourag ing
increase, averaging nearly 81
600, 900 a day, until it reached
STA, 217, 129 which is its present copdi-
ton, according to the statement issued
by the treasurer of the United States
yesterday. The department has re-
ceived advices of the proposed importa-
ton of at least $40, 600, 0O0 in gold, with
the view to its transfer TO the govern
ment in exchange for legal tender
notes. The deposit of this additional
amount will swell the gold reserve to
about Sl25, 900, OOJ, and practically as
sures it's stability without further out
side assistance during the remaining
months of the present administration,
contingent, however, upon the result
of the coming presidential election.
The Custom House Forces.
NEW YORK, sep. ia Herald
special from Washington says: Acting
Secretary Hamlin has sent instruc-
tions to the collectors in New York
and most Of the other important ports
of the country, directing them to re-
duce the expenditures in their respec-
tive custom houses TO such an extent
as to bring the aggregate expenditures
for the current fiscal year down to the
amount expended last year. The treas
ury department does not wish to have
the expenses OF the current year eX-
coed those of last year. it is impossi-
BILE to reduce the force in the survey
or's department, and of course the re-
auctions must he made in other de.
partments, wherever it is possible TO
do so. Tho treasury officials are re-
luctant to make any reductions what
ever, as the business OF the custom
house is such as to make the retention
of all the present employees desirable.

According to the New York sun
view of it. Grover Cleveland and his
most intimate friends are conducting
themselves just as they might fairly be
expected to do if they had determined
that the man of destiny" should be me
Democratic candidate for the pres
idency for the fourth time and We're
disposed to help destiny along in the
matter. We think the Sun has the
right of it. Indeed we have never had
any serious doubt that Grover CleFe-
land wanted fourth nomination more
than anything else save third term,
and that he can never get. And While
it may seem cruel to some we can
scarcely repress the desire to see the
sauirmng which another candidacy OF
Mr.. Cleveland would infiict upon the
Democratic party, or what there ma"
be left of it by that time.
