 Freight Was an Extra.
 The freight train was an extra It's crew had, according to the conductor or this train. been instructed to take sio- ing and let the passenger train pass The first section of the passenger train had gone by when the freight pulled out. The passenger train bore no signal of tn second section to come, he asserts, and he had no reason to believe that another train was due.
 The scene of the wreck was on down grade on either side of which there was a steep rise. Both trains had put on extra steam to carry them up to the op- posite hill and when they met at the curve at the lowest point they were run ming at a nigh rate.
 The passenger train was made np ol three coaches and a Pullman with no baggage car, the front coach being next to the tender. The freight train was a heavy one. When the trains met the heavy freight pushed the passenger en- zine into the first coach. The tender of the passenger engine literally cut the coach in two and never stopped until 1t had ploughed itself half way through the car and its passengers, killing those in the forward end instantly, and mangling all within reach.
 Many Killed Outright.
 Half a dozen who were not killed out right were so badly injured that they died before they could be removed from the debris. Many of the dead were almost unrecognizable. Army and legs were dis membered in several cases and together with baggage and pieces Of wreckage were tumbled together into a confused mass of bleeding human forms.
 The next two coaches were also badly damaged, seats being torn up and win dows smashed, but in these cars the pas sengers fared better. all except a few es- caping with slight injuries. The Pull man remained upright and none of its occupants were hurt beyond sustaining 0 severe shaking up.

Parker Receives Callers.

New York, October 10.-A few callers were received by Judge Parker today at his apartments at the Hotel Sevill, where he will remain until Thursday night on his fifth political visit to New York.
 Representative Robert Broussard of Louisiana, who has been making speeches in a number of northern states and is now en route to Rhode Island was among the first.
 Chairman Taggart had long talk with Judge Parker tonight. Inasmuch as the national chairman is soon to leave for Indiana to give the situation there most of his time until election day the con- versation was confined almost exclusively to the campaign In that state.
 It has been decided by MT. Taggart and his associates -.Iat his political ex- perience will be needed in the west here after. and while he will be kept ad- vised on everything that takes place In national headquarters, the active man agement in the east will fall almost en- tirely on Senator German and Vice Chair man Delaney Nicholl, with William F. Sheehan devoting much of his attention to the situation in New York.
 In this connection 1t is said that Col. Daniel s. Lamont. secretary of war under former president Cleveland, will be NA'PNA ever.
 Want to Visit Candidate.
 Judge Parker, It Is said, does not intend to spend more than one or two days out of each week in New York after he re- turns home on Thursday. A number of delegations have asked for dates when they may visit the candidate at Esopus.
 Democrats who called on Judge Parker today expressed great satisfaction at the announcement that former President Cleveland has consented to preside at d democratic business mems meeting to be held at Carnegie hall on October 21. MT. Cleveland announced through friends early In the campaign that he could best serve the party with his pen and through that medium would be glad to do active work. Effort was made to get him to preside over a monster mass meeting to be held at Madison Square garden but his health would not permit

FAlRMoNT'S NEW DAILY.

Fai.mcnt's new Republican 'laily.
the West Nirginian. is a wellmade
newspaper. the product of expert
enced men in all departments. and is
backed by ample capital. 1t is quite
hopeful Of success. and We trust its
hopes may all be realized. II it
should ever go on the rocks the cause
will likely be found in the sentence
from its sautatOry:
The paper is owned by joint
stock company.
Newspapers owned by joint stock
companies. and managed by boards
of directors. usually contrive to get
into more kinds of trouble than could
be brewed by the witch of Endor
We cannot recall a thoroughly sue
cesSful paper, daily or weekly, city
or country. that has not been under
the unquestionable domino ton of one
mind.
When attempts at news paper man
aSement are made by boards of man
ayers it almost invariably happens
in the long run that conflicting bust
ness personal and political interests
Of selfish or ambitious managers and
cliques appear. and these are not dis
closed to each other Then every
thing works at cross purposes. Jeal-
ouses arise and chickering's follow.
The employees learn the situation and
they too imbibe the spirit of strife or
indifference. The end of it all is fail
ure, and this often too in fields of
promise.
But We hope the West Nirginian
will escape such difficulties. 1t can
only do so, however. by giving its ca
pable manag absolute control in all
departments. and allowing him to do
under all circumstances what he
thinks right--Uniontown. Pa, Even

DEMOCRATS
WILL HAVE a BIC FIGHT OVER
a NEW PLAT
FORM.
TlONS WILL BE HARD
TO CONTROL.

NEW YORK, April PA dispatch
from Washin gton says:
Ten States and one Territory have
to date elected 2GG delegates to the
Democratic National convention.
Three States and one Territory have
instructed for Hearst, giving him
twenty-four delegates. Massachusetts,
with thirty delegates, has instructed
for OIney. and New York, with seven
ty-eight, for Parker. Five States
have declined to instruct The States
which have refused instructions will
send 134 delegates to the convention,
or one-half of the total number elected
to date.
The significance of this result lies
in the fact that it indicates a large
majority of uninStructed delegates in
the convention. The Indications point
only to Instructions from States which
will present "favorite sons" Maryland
will probably instruct for German,
Missouri for Cockrell, Wisconsin for
Wall, and Illinois may instruct for
Williams. If this policy is carried out
it would bring the total number OF
instructed delegates to EGG in a con-
vention of 900.
Mr.. Hearst mas shown an ability to
secure Instructions in the States and
Territories which have six votes each
in the convention. If these successes
continue the total number of instruct
ed delegates for all candidates may
reach So, or less than one-third of
the convention.

GERMAN FOR CHAIRMAN.
1t Is Said Judge Parker, If Nominated,
Will Choose the Senator.

1.-THE New York Sun of Monday says
:'That, if Chief Judge Alton b.
Parker is nominated by the Democrats
for President at ST. Louis he will ask
Senator German, of Maryland, to take
the Craftsmanship of the Democratic
National Committee. was the positive
statement of one OF Judge Parker's
friends yesterday, and he added:
g Judge Parker has great faith in
Senator Germans abilities as a cam.
paiGn manager. and often speaks of
the effective work German did Tor
Cleveland in 1854. Besides, Judge
Parker is familiar with the fact that
Senator German has the confidence of
business men, Republicans as we'll as
Democrats. and While the Judge does
not know if German would undertake
the task he certainly Will not hesl-
tate at the proper time to request him
to do So
Other democrats said that If Judge
Parker is nominated and Senator Cor
man cannot see his way clear to take
e place of national chairman. eX
United States Sene cor James Smith,
Jr Of New Jersey. will be the man.
for the reason that Mr.. Smith is as
good a campaigner as Mr. German.
and. along with Mr. German. enjoys
the confidence of the business commu-
mites in all the States.
David B. Hill made it known To
his friends yesterday that at ST. Louis
he is to be New York States member
of the committee on resolutions. In

ROCKEFELLER DENOUNCED
Chicago Preacher Scores Oil Mag
Mates Way of Getting Rich.

CHICAGO, April 27.-"Posterity
will think of John D. Rockefeller
with contempt. Even his gifts are
stained by unhOlinesS, although he pro
fesses to be a holy man. Such men
as Rockefeller, in the church or out
of it, are factors for Unreasonable
harm
The speaker was the Rev. August
Deltgren, Of the First Swedish Unlta-
rian Church, and the text was, Thou
Shalt Not Steal" The sermon was
a commentary upon the pamphlet.
"How I Got Rich" recently sent to
the ministers OF the country by Mr.
Rockefeller.
Rockefeller may be sincere in his
religious belief, and of that l will not
undertake to determine" said the Rev

Teller and such men as he are doing
to religion is past computing He
perverts the religion of Christ and
makes it a religion OF mammon.

every man to get all he can fairly and
honestly; to keep all he can and to
give away all he can is rule OF lie
laid down by Rockefeller in this pam
