Remington Notes.
Considerable excitement was created in the city on last Tuesday evening by the report that there nad been serious trouble between the notorious Dan Hart family and that of his not much less notorious brother-in-law, George McCabe, which occured on the old Charles Baker farm, two miles north of town on the gravel road. It seems that Hart and his wife, accompanied by old man from Benton county, and another old man from Remington, had gone to the McCabe place on the afternoon of August 4th, ail more or less under the influence of liquor. They had not long been there until Hart insulted his sister-in-law, Mrs. George McCabe, and to which insult McCabe took Exceptions, and he at once proceeded to lay Hurt out with a club, Hart was then moved to his home, one mile south-east of this city. His son, Simon Hart, procured a snot gun, and proceeded at once to the McCabe farm, with avowed intentions of doing George McCabe bodily harm, or any other person who would have the stamina to interfere with his previously prepared programme, arriving at the McCabe residence he stationed himself on the public highway and then awaited his opportunity to slay his intended victim neither McCabe nor any of the family deemed it advisable to show themselves for the time being, and while Hart was still on the quiet lookout for him, Prank Eck, who lives eight or ten miles north-west of Remington, passed by, and learned from young Hart the situation of affairs. Eck proceeded on to Remington, loaded himself full of strong beverages, and then besought himself that it was the duty of mankind to lend his good offices in restoring peace between the beligarant factions. He at once started to put his newly made resolution into execution, and arriving on the scene he besought young Hart to disperse and think the serious ordeal over, a thing which he was in no mood to consider at that moment, Eck ignored the threat made by Hart that if he entered the house he would shoot him, and proceeded to the house of McCabe. As Eck passed through the gate Hart tired at him from a distance of about twenty-five yards, filling his head, face, neck, arms and shoulders full of what is known as “chicken shot,” Dr. Landen was called to Eck’s aid and susceeded in removing a fraction of the shot from his anatomy, but could not secure all of theta. Eck was able to ride into town later that evening, and stated what he knew of the case to Deputy Prosecutor Yeoman, who wrote up an affidavit against Hart, changing' him with assult and battery with felonous intent, which was duly signed and filed with George F. Bloom, a justice of the peace, who at once issued a warrent for Hart’s arrest, and placed the same in the hands of gpecial Cons able George Haskell, Hascall has made a diligent search for the culprit, but at the pregent writing has been unable to place his hands on him. The general supposition that Hart skipped the country during the night. He is classed as a disreputable speciman of hiimanifcy, which is not strange, when we take into consideration his percentage, and at the influence which have sujnmcmed him all of his life. He will undoubtedly be apprehended.ift the course of a short tfm'e, and he will undoubtedly be sent W ttte penitentiary.

Does Gold Circulate?
The goldbugs say if silver is coined free, The result will be a silver basis sot ear currency. They reiterate with much force of emphasis that free sliver will drive gold out of circulation. That the free coinage of silver will drive gold out of circulation can be emphatically denied. It is Impossible to drive any one variety of money out of circulation un- 1 less It is In circulation. As gold does not circulate in this country as currency, It cannot be driven out of circulation, Tffie money grabbers and bankers control the gold, and when they order it paid out by the banks throughout the country, which is occasionally done for political effect, It circulates. When the bank bosses of New York order the banks to refuse gold circulation It does not circulate Practically there is not a dollar of gold in circula- ■ tion at this time. Therefore, the assertion that the free coinage of sliver will drive gold out of circulation is not worth considering, ffom the very potent fact that gold does not circulate.—Southern Mercury.

FRIGHTFUL DISASTER
ONE HUNDRED PERSONS KILLED OR INJURED. Kapra— am. Ik* R«*4ku Bailroad Emmm Atlantic City. N. J. CrMktt Thfavfb • Crow dart Piuurlraala Kxcnraioa Train—Tkta Known Dm* A railroad accident occurred Thursday night Just outside of Atlantic City, N. J. Forty-one pereons are dead, and the lfet of the wounded numbers fiftysix. ‘ The Reading railroad express, which left Philadelphia at 5:40 o’clock in the afternoon for Atlantic City crashed into a Pennsylvania Central excursion train at the second signal tower, about four miles out from here. The Pennsylvania train was returning to Bridgeton with a party of 500 excursionists from that place, Millville and neighboring towns. At the second signal tower the tracks of the two roads diagonally cross. The Reading track was given the signal, but the switch either failed to work or the speed of the express was too great to be checked In time. It caught the excursion train broadside and plowed through, literally cleaving it in two. The engine of the Reading train was shattered to pieces. As soon as the news reached Atlantic City the utmost consternation prevailed. Relief trains were dispatched to the scene, loaded with cots and a force of surgeons. As quick as the bodies were recovered they were carried into the local hospitals. A general flrealariu was sounded, and the department promptly responded aiding in the work of digging for the victims. The first Reading relief train bors into the city twenty-seven mangled. ’*
corpses—men, women and children. The next train, not an hour later, carried fifteen of the maimed and wounded, and two of these died soon after reaching the city. As train after train rar to the scene of the wreck and came back with the wounded, the sanitarium, which serves as the city hospltil, quickly found its capacity overtaxed. Meanwhile others of the dead and injured were being carried to the private hospital at Ocean and Pacific avenues. Edward Farr, engineer on the Reading train, was killed outright, as was another railroad man who rode on the engine with him. This man, whose name has not yet been learned, saw the collision coming, and leaped from the cab an Instant before the crash. Almost at the same instant the engine cut its way through, and caught him directly In Its path. His body and that of Farr were found under a heap of debris, hut the engineer lay In what rematped of the cab, and his right hand still clasped the throttle. The fireman on the train had leaped a few seconds before, and escaped with trifling Injuries. Mrs. Edward Farr, wife of the Reading engineer who was killed, when informed of her husband’s tragic end, throw up her hands with a frantic shriek and fell dead at the feet of her informant. The excursion train bore five tribe* of the Order of Red Men—the Bridgeton, the Niagara, the lowa, the Ahwantenah and the Cobanslck—with their wives and children.
Senator Pettigrew Resigns.
Washington special: Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, who followed Senator Teller In his bolt from the Republican national convention at St. Louie, has resigned as a member of the Republican congressional committee. The vacancy has not yet been filled. It if said that when the Democratic national committee opens headquarters, a few days hence, one of the first subjects to be taken up will be the attitude of certain men toward the national platform and ticket, who, having been nominated aa presidential electors on the Democratic ticket prior to the Chicago convention, have since that time repudiated both the platform and the ticket, and are publicly credited with the intention to vote for McKinley.

"I do not remember,”, said he, "to have said anything about it, but I don’t want them to Indorse any part of our state ticket unless they indorse all of it.”
