a young lawyer of Saratoga Springs. A tveek ago Mr. Baccus was married to & yonng lady of Koine, N. Y. The couple had spent their honeymoon intho West and were returning homo in tho Salina. When the accident occurred tho lady Tras pinioned in tho wreck. Her body was horribly bruised and her skull badly crushed. ifer husband was injured about the legs and head. Mrs. Baucns was brought into the sleeper and the surgeons set about mending her wounds. Portions of tho skull had to bo taken out. Her husband was stretched out on another seat, and two doctors were working over him. Every few minutes ho jumped to get a look at his wife. The doctors restrained him by keeping him constantly informed of her condition, but the suspense was too much for him. He pumped no and, brushing the doctors aside, folded his arms about the dying woman's form. 'She's cold," ho cried in despair, and he glanced up for a look of disapproval from tho physicians who stood by. So, 6he's living yet," answered one of the doctors. The devotion of tho broken-hearted husband was touching in the extreme lie refused to be led away, and clung to the side of his unconscious wife, kissing her bleeding lips and urging the doctors on to further efforts. But medical skill proved unavailing. The wife died at 2:50 o'clock, as the train was fclowly rolling into Buffalo. Mr. Baucus is completely prostrated. His injuries are not serious, although hi3 face is badly cut and bruised and his legs somewhat sprained. Another sad, and one of the most pathetio incidents of tho disaster was the singular escape of baby Stewart, the thirteen-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Stewart, of liochester. Mr. Stewart and wife were in the telescoped passenger coach, with the baby clasped in its mother's arms, when the two sections came together. Mother and father were instantly killed, being discovered on tho floor of the car, covered with debris and crushed-almost beyond recognition. In the arms of the mother baby Stewart was found prattling and crying "Mamma, mamma." but the mother was cold in death and strong men wept, while tho wee, little thing was lifted from the embrace of the dead mother. The bodies of Mr. and Airs. Stewart were removed to the baggage car, and the ladies tenderly cared for the tiny little orphan. Soon the baby tiredof calling for its mother and fell asleep. Frank Conger, vice-president of the Groton Bridge and Manufacturing Company, of Groton, N. Y., took charge of the baby, and on arriving in Buffalo went to the Continental Hotel, where he will keep possession of her until she is claimed by relatives. The kind-hearted people on the train took up a collectibn for the baby's benefit, and $.'J0 was realized. The action of the railroad officials in refusing to permit reporters to go to the wreck on the physicians' train is severely condemned. The man in charge of the special train stated that "the officials of the road had giver, orders to allow no one but surgeons to go out" and two reporters were forced to leave the car. The reporters were obliged to drive along the hilly and desolate Lake Shore road with the thermometer down near zero, and did not reach the scene of the accident until after midnight. T. 1L Brown, of New York, who was on the first portion of the train, says that a baggage checker standing on the rear platform was the first to discover that the sleepers had broken loose. Ho informed the conductor who signaled the engineer to stop and the front of the train came to a standstill. The conductor then saw the sleepers coming down tho grade at a terrific rate of speed and shouted to the engineer to go ahead, but it was too late, and a second

later came the crash. This sudden stoppage of the front part of the train, without ascertaining the position of the detached cars, was what caused the collision. When the train broke in two the sleeping-car conductor went in three different cars, palling automatic air-brake cords trying to stop the cars, but they would not work, and that was no doubt the primary cause of the collision. Superintendent Couch was asked to-day If he considered t air-brakes reasonably sure of working when , a train breaks in two. He replied: "As a t rulo we consider them reliable and expect .' them to be'effective, but for some reason ' they seemed to have failed in this instance. ; "When the automatic brake failed to work they tried the brake behind, and just then the collision occurred. The break occurred on a down grade about a mile west of 11am- . lurg, and that cave an increased speed to the rear part. The engineer said the brakes en his part of the train became set, and he could not get away from the rear part in time, lie did not discover the break at once his attention being necessarily directed ahead most of the time." Air. Haunt, a well-known citizen of this city, makes. very serious statement concrrning tho condition of the train. Mr. 3 1. m pt, who was found in bed at his residence, suffering from cuts in the left arm and the nervous strain, said: "The train , was not in tit condition to carry human be- , inirs from the time it left Cleveland. The ' train parted once before leaving that city. 2 spoko to the conductor about it, and he assured mo everything was all right. At Dunkirk the tiain parted twice. The stem couplings wens broken, and the air-brakes I'ailed to act. A traveling companion and 1 discussed tha question whether it would I jjot be wiser to get off the train and take . another train. We did not like the idea of V. traveling in such a broken-down outfit. a15iH we took the chances, and here I am." t OTHER CASUALTIES. glomes Badly Damaged by a Cave-In and Several of tha Inmates Injured. r Wilkesbakee, Ta.. March7. The suburb j of Flymoutb, known as Curry's Hill, was i terribly shaken by a cave-in early this morning.

HELP FOR TIIE PARNELLITES

A Conservative Commoner Who Wants the Leader's Assailants Censured. Continuance of the Debate on the Commission's Report Sir Henry James Makes a Bitter , Speech Herr Tisza to Resign. COURSE OF PARNELLITES. Keport of the Commission Again Debated Sir Henry James's Hitter Arraignment London, March 7. In the House of Commons, to-day, Mr. Louis J. Jennings, Progressive Conservative member for Stockport, gave notice that, he would move to add the following to Mr. Smith's motion asking the House to adopt the report of the Parnell commission: 4,The House condemns the conduct of those who were responsible for the accusations against members of the House of complicity in murder, when such accusations were based on .forged letters." The motion was received with Opposition cheers. Mr. Justin McCarthy oppressed intense satisfaction at finding a Conservative thus taking independent action looking to the censuring, bv the House, of Mr. Pamell's assailants, In regard to tne leagued books, Mr. McCarthy assured the House that he had attended meetings of the league, and that he had heard nothing contained m the books that might not be read in Parliament. Sir Henry James compared the Parnellite leaders to captains in command of troops, with the striking diilerence that, whereas the captains were the first to condemn disorders, the Parnellites incited their followers to commit outrage. Referring to Le Caron and his alleged falsities, he asked what was Lo Carou compared with ineji who had taken an oath to destroy the government of the Queen and establish a republic and then had entered Parliament and taken the oath of allegiance to her Majesty. He asked the House to recollect who it was that hired Le Caron. Le Caron was hired and paid by thoso English statesmen who now cheered the men attacking him. (Cheers.) The speaker would rather occupy the positiou of Le Carou, objectionable as it was, than the position of men who were the associates of assassins, whose honor the House was asked to defend. Sir Charles Russell had referred to presumably honest' men, whose secrets Le Caron had tried to gain. Who were these presumably honest menT It was proved beyond presumption that they advocated the use of dynamite. Davitt. in his evidence, called the Irish World's outrage fund the inspiration of the movement and its financial strength. The commission's report teemed with proof that Irish agitators affiliated with dynamiters, and sympathized with the party of violence. There were maintained funds contributed for the purpose of destroying tho Queen's government. Yet the opposition had the temerity to ask the House to accord these criminal conspirators reparation. The only justice Parliament could accord was to inscribe the commission's report on the records, and defend the uprightness of the judges from the scurrility of the men who now tried to hold them up to execration. Cheer8.1 Messrs. Asquith. C. Hall and others followed. The debate dragged wearily, and many members left the House. Finally the House was 'counted out." GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

H. B. Hartzler, president of Moody's College, at Northtield, Mass., as a vile and Godless man.,, Science In Soap-Bubblet. Popular Science Monthly. There is scarcely anything in the world which Rtems more utterly outside the realm of law than a soap-bubble. The delicate him. with its exnuisite floating colors, its power of instantly vanishing, leaving no trace behind, hardly seems as though it could form a link in the inexorable chain of cause and ellect which wo call physical law. The atmospheric pressure on a bunblo six inches in diameter is over fifteen hundred pounds, and yet the fragile film lies safely between the opposing forces of nature the pressure of the outer air. the spring ot the inclosed cushion within it. the downward Eull of gravitythe upward push of the noyant atmosphere, and the molecular forces in tho film itself so long as the bubble lasts; it is because of an exquisite adjustment of all tho forces, physical and molecular, concerned in its existence. This is, of course, the merest commonplace, and yet it is one of the commonplaces of nature, which, however well we may know them, never cease to be wonderful when they are in any degree realized. There are other laws governing films which are no less wonderful, though they are less familiarly known. A heap of bubbles blown while tho pipe is dipped under the surface of noaoy water looks like a chaotic huddle of bubbles of all sizes and many shapes; but, upon careful examination, it is found that never more thau threo films meet at an unsupported liquid edge, and nover more thau louredges meet at a liquid point, and that the ancles are always equal; that is, films will not meet each other at an unsupported edge or point at an angle smaller than 120 ono-tnird of a circle. The Proposed International Railroad. JfewYork Iurtepemlmt. Of course a railroad through the isthmus and through the southern half of the continent is most desirable. Hussia understands tho importance, commercially and politically, of a road into the heart of Asia; and Americans hardly ueedto bo reminded that close communication by rail between the independent states of this continent would develop commerce and civilization, aud greatly add to tho humanizing influences which are in operation in the countries south of us. The Kustsian road connecting the Caspian s.-a and Bokhara has wonderfully developed tho cotton production of central Asia. In 1S7 the road delivered 3,(XX).000 pounds of the great staple on the shore of the Caspian; in lttSU it delivered

pleto tho two new annv corps, tion of which was sanctioned

46,000,000 pounds at the same port South America ih quite as rich in natural productions as Bokhara, and a railroad would rapidly develop them. Let us have the international commission of engineers to snrvev and compare routes, estimating difficulties and compute cost SNAKES IN IRELAND.

He landed his show at Qneenstown and gave exhibitions up through Ireland with more or less success. But oue night, at the little town of Amraugh. in Tipperary, Mr. Wilson got very drunk and attempted to clean out his own show. The constabulary force sought to interfere, and (whether as a means of self-defense, or in a spirit of humor, I know not) Mr. Wilson turned all the -wild animals loose. Of course this created a terrible uproar, and for a week the neighborhood was in a state of wild excitement, The wild beasts were duly either captured or killed, but for three years no trace of the den of snakes let loose.on that memorable night could be found. Meanwhile Mr. Wilson went to prison for two years. Two years ago the people in the neighborhood of Amraugh began to miss poultry and pigs. Several vagabonds fell under suspicion, were apprehended, and were locked up. But the depredation continued, and finally a farmer's lad testified that upon returning late one night from" a merrymaking, he had seen tho evil one in the guise of a serpent making way with a pig across a field. The village priest took the lad in hand and questioned him closely, but nothing could shake the fellow's testiflony. Abont this time other people defected similar fiends in the act of like depredations, and at once arose a hue ? and cry that the spot was a damned one. and had been given over to the devil for nis diabolical practices. Special prayers were said, and the devil was publicly denounced, but the depredations continued, aud presently from Castelraine, a town twelve miles distant, came word that his Batanic majesty had begun operations in that locality, his victims in this instance and in this place being sheep, not poultry and pigs. In this dismal emergency the bishop was most properly appealed to, for the parish priests were at their wits? ends, and their parishioners were well nigh crazed through fear. The bishop promised to investigate the affair, but instead of resorting to conventional ecclesiastical methods, that holy and sagacious man enlisted the services of two shrewd detectives from Dubliu, the intellectual center of Erin. The bishop fancied that the devil was doing his unholy work by proxy-riiot in the guise of dragons aud serpents, but in the persons of certain lawless characters too lazy to work and just knavish enough to steal. The detectives, laboring under this heresy, made their investigations quietly 'and without holy water or wafers, and in the course of a fortnight reported to their saintly employer that the depredations at Castelraine and Amraugh had indeed heen committed by serpents, the detectives themselves having seen and watched the same upon tnree distinct occasions seize, kill and carry off their prey. The serpents were described as dark of color and fully fifteen feet in length; they killed their victims by coiling about their bodies. The story was discredited by the clergy and laity until, as good luck would have it. a correspondent of the Freeman's Journal (at Dublin) recalled the significant, not to say portentious, circumstance that the numerous and divers species of snakes which had escaped from the Wilson show, about three-years previous, had never been captured. Then of a sudden the mystery was cleared up, and bands for the extermination of the monsters were speedily or gauized among the vengeful peasantry. Three of tho snakes were shortly thereafter seen, pursued and killed in the bog east of Amraugh. The largest of the snakes measured fonr feet. In . the maw of each was found a pullet. About a month thereafter a fourth snako was killed near Castelraine. This snake, upon being cut open, was found to contain very many little snakes, whicn immediately glided into the grass and escaped before the astonished rustics could apprehend them. Subsequently, stimulated by the advertised reward of half a crown and a special dispensation for every suake, alive or1 dead, the country people caught eleveu of the smaller snakes Bona measuring more than seven inches in length. Then the snakes seemed to disappear, and, no further depredations being noted, the excitement gradually died out. But it is now reported, after a lapse of two tranquil years, that snakes have suddenly appeared at and around Ballingal, an agricultural region thirty mles north of Castelraine, the country sea if the Earl of Densloe. These snakes are of a strange species; though none has been captured, tpey are saiu to be of enormous length, breadth, thickness, voracity and. ferocity, and to make a noise when moving like the clatter of dice in a box; they kil; oy biting, and they have created great bav-c among the flocks of his Grace th& Dnke, as well as in the coops and styes of tho peasantry. Simultaneously, serpents similar to the Amraugh and Castelraiuo vorniints have appeared still further to the eastward, and have caused such a panic that the country folk are afraid to venture out of doors after .nightfall. The theory is that in five years the reptiles let loose by the wretched Wilson during his ribald drunken frenzy have multiplied so numerously that a militant union of church and state will be necessary to restore the island to the virgin condition in which the good St Patrick left it. EARL CAIKNS'S FATHER'S TACT. IIow He Broke Off the Engagement with Miss Fortescue. JiOmlon Letter in Galignanl's Messenger. Earl Cairns, who inherited the title made for himself by lit. Disraeli's former Attor-ney-geueral, was best known to fame by his abortive matrimonial relations. If he had never been engaged to Miss Fortescue the second Earl Cairns would never have obtained a foremost place in public reputation. He was, on the whole, a harmless youth, his father retaining the monopoly of brains, and the son and heir being handicapped by certain proclivities which must have been very shocking to his sedate father. Early last season a lady friend of Lord Cairns was asked what she thought of him. "His conversation," she said, "is a little nnusual. He began by asking me if I had seen Sullivan. Of course, 1 thought he meant Sir Arthur, and began to talk about tho 'Yeomen of the Guard,' but it turned out thai he meant John L. Sullivan, the pugilist. I noticed that he ate very little, and, making some remark, he explained that the fact was he had an engagement at 1 o'clock in the morning for a fencing bout and must needs eat sparingly, making up for it by a late supper," This simple-headed youth was no match for his wily father in the matter of his love atiairs. How he was brought to give up Miss Fortescue is a story freely told at the time of the denouement. The conduct cf Lord Garmoylo (as he then was) toward Miss Fortescue was perfectly honorable. He foil in love with ber and wanted to marry her. When he brought the news home to his father there was, naturally, a "row." The rigid, austere Lord Chancellor never went nearer the theaters than Exeter Hall, and the notion that his son and heir was to marry a girl off the stage tilled him with mortification. But, like a wily lawyer, he dissembled his wrath. Finding that no expostulations wou?d move his sou, he at length affected to yield to the inevitable. Lady Cairns sent an invitation to Miss Fortescue tovisitthem atLindistarne, their place near Bournemouth. She went there as the bride expectant of the heir of the house. 'The houBe was full of titled visitors, carefully gathered by the wary father and mother. After dinner, when Miss Fortescue retired to the drawing-room with the ladies, the well-rehearsed plot was carried out. Every one turned a cold shoulder toward her. utterly ignoring her existence, and when the gentlemen arrived Lord Garmoylo found his fiance sitting by herself, a Kocial nariah. Lord Cairns was inconsolable, 'it's very sad and very shocking.' he is reported to have said to hip son. 'But what can we do. Garni oyle! You see the people won't have anything to say to her, and it will be the same when you are married.' This was the beginning of the end, which finally resulted in Lord Cairns paying a tine of 110,000 to Miss Fortescue as the price of his son's freedom." Would lie an Indication of Stability.

TIIE ADMINISTRATION'S FIIIST YEAR. President usrriwn - - Done Ills Duty. New York Tribune. With the beginningof this month the first year of Benjamin Harrison's term of ottice as President of the United fctates is ended, ehrd from which a cnt- . - . . . . -nll n1 Valthriillv I ical glance at his administration may be 'i.nnrnnionfir tftirpn. (iovemment in the UUUUIVUktl , 1. . . . United States is in one sense a simple problem. AVe are not occupied with efforts to prevent other nations from becoming great. V e have no territorial ambitions to gratify, no have no disposition to seek interests or quarrels beyoud our own premises, and no other country sees the wisdom or advantage of quarrels with us. Our President do not need to play dramatic parts. They are not expected to do any of the striking things to which kings and emperors aro so fond of consecrating themselves. It is not desired that they shall be law-givers or conquering heroes, but merely that they shall conduct the public business in a sensible, straightforward, economical way. enforcing tho laws houestlv, fearlessly and equally. The facts" will not support any other judgment upon President Harrison at this time than that he has well and faithfully done the dntv that was expected of him. In some respects . his work has been brilliant, in all respects it has been good and wholesome, and in no respect can it be justly assailed as harmful or lnelhcient. The situation when he took otlice was cloudy. A group of inexperienced statesmen had been in charge of ailairs fcr four years, with results that were the natural fruit of timidity and incompetence. Their ono object was to introduce a revenue aud industrial system based upon free trade, and to that everything else was subordinated. Our interest in tho Northwest hsheries was blindly sacrificed. Weakness and folly carried us almost to the vergo of war with Germany. Desiring to build up a new navy, the Cleveland administration began by repudiating contracts and by destroying thocountry's largest ship-buildingindnstry. The revenuo laws were so applied as to put a premium upon dishonest importation. Millions of money that should have been appropriated to the reduction of the public debt were handed out to favored banks that they might make fortunes at the public expense. Bank demoralization took hold of the po6tofiSco system. American steamship lines carrying the mails to foreign countries were unjustly and absurdly discriminated agaiust, aud a fortune in public money was spent to break them down and to build up foreign carriers. And all the whilo the civil service was being filled up with incompetent persons and prostituted to xolitical ends. President Harrison, though he has been in oltice only twelve months, has made it possible to draw a gratifying contrast to this picture of maladministration. He is eminently a practical man, candid, direct, resolute and sincere. He did not need to spend half his terra making the acquaintance of public men . and public atiairs. and the other half vainly trying to undo his earlier mistakes. Ho understood the country and all its sectional interests. He surrouuded himself with able advisers, men of reputation aud experience, each admirably fitted by training and tasto for his E articular work. The result has been a armonious, active administration, sure of what it needed to do and of how it needed to be done. Secretary Blaine's conduct of the State Department has already reflected the highest credit upon the country abroad. So soon as his sagacious policy had replaced the dull aims and timid methods of Mr. Bayard our disturbed foreign relations were easily settled. The Samoan troubles were promptly arranged in a treaty which secures all our rights, and at the same time restores our good understanding with Germany. The British extradition treaty, with which Mr. Bayard bungled and failed, is to-day a law, and in a form much more comprehensive and useful than that previously, proposed. Secretary Windora has restored the t efficiency of the customs , service, has withdrawn in large measure the loans so unwarrantably made to favor banks, has appropriated a considerable portion of the surplus revenue to the reduction of the public debt upon terms much better than those secured by his predecessor, and has proposed a silver policy much commended for its practicability and wisdom. The Navy Department, under Secretary Tracy, has taken great strides toward thatcfliciency so loudly demanded by the country. The work of construction moves forward with marvelous vigor, and tho original methods adopted, together with tho wise policies proposed, have gratified the country and inspired the service., In the War Department, iu the Departments of Justice and of Agriculture, striking reforms have been adopted and a vast amount ' of work performed. Tho Interior Department and tho Postoffice have fully recovered their strength and efficiency. In the Pension Office, Laud Office, and Indian Office, new methods and policies of the highest value have been inaugurated, and tho civil service has been maintained free of partisan evils. This is a good, praiseworthy record. It entitles the President to the thanks and the full confidence of the country. Indiana's Growth. Logansport Journal. Few recognize the position Indiana is rapidly taking in the manufacturing world,; situated as the State is at the western limit of the natural-gas territory. With the immense demands of the West to bo supplied, the advantago in mileage, freight and time is in favor of Indiana. Manufacturers are not slow to recognize this, and not a day passes that some exchange does not note the organization or establishment of rome new enterprise. East Chicago ba become a city in Lake county, where, a year ago, all was a swamp, and Hammond and Whiting, in the same county, noto institutions giving employment to thousands of men that have sprung up in the past year. One alone at Whiting employs over one thousand men. The census will no doubt show a decisive progress in tho ranks of the manufacturing States. That this growth and prosperity is beneficial to every man, woman and child in the Stato would be a claim absurd to question, more absurd to consider necessary for argument. The supplying of employment for laborers and consumers of produce, the two things necessary for tho existence of trade, all within the borders of onr own commonwealth, is a matter of State pride and State joy. When you consider that these industries are built up by a protective tarilV and are now maintained by tho existence of that tariti", you will see tho ruin the tari ft reformers, socalled, would inllict on your interests at your own threshhold. A New Ofliclal. rhiladelpliia Inquirer. The President has approved the act to create the office of an Assistant Secretary of War, and that official is now to be part of the government service. It is an office that has been asked for by successive Secretaries fer years, and there is little danger that it will ever be abolished. Thero is plenty of work for au Assistant Secretary of War. since so many important engineering works are constantly under the supervision of that department, and for that reason the appointee, for whom agitation has already begun, should be a man of experience and ability. No mere politician should bo appointed, but a man familiar with the technical work required in his positiou. Not by Several Miles. Chicago Mail (Dhu.)
