CURRENT EVENTS.

EAST. A political friend of Dr. McGlynn is credited with saying to a New York -re- z porter: “Dr. McGlynn positively will not go to Rome. He lass made engagements to lecture for thirty-five days of the forty allotted to him in which he must be in Rome. He has all along maintained that he never would go to Rome in disgrace, and he won’t. If it was made possible for him to go as an American citizen, anxious to lay before the Popo the doctrine that the land belongs to the whole people, you could not hold him in. He’d be buying his passage ticket, with his trunks ready packed, and off in the next steamship. In any other wav his journey would be suicide.” ' While the fast train west on the Pennsylvania Railroad was nearing Horse Shoe Bend, on Friday night, the wheel of a car on a freight train going east burst, and the train crashed into two passenger coaches, killing instantly four men and injuring many others. The accident was the worst that has happened for years on the Pennsylvania Road. The killed are as follows: Dal Graham, son of ex-Speaker Graham. Allegheny, Pit.; J. H. Stauffer, of Lewisville, Ohio; Wymer Snyder, a onelegged man, of Shamokin, Pa.; John Dorris, a newsboy, of East Liberty, Pa.; Frank McCue, of New York. A fire in the Belt Line stables at New York Friday morning was not controlled until all the bams and a number of tenements had been destroyed. Thirteen hundred horses perished, and an aged woman died from fright and shock. The loss is placed at $1,325,000, the insurance not exceeding $500,000. A dispatch from Prospect Park, N. Y., says that President Cleveland’s fishing excursion in the Adirondacks has thus far been unsuccessful, so far as catches are concerned. Sunday the Chief Executive strolled about the hotel and chatted with the guests. The ladies Of the Presidential party went to the chapel near the Prospect House, and, in the absence of a clergyman, held a singing service for an hour. The accident on the Pennsylvania Road near Horseshoe Bend, proves to have beenmore serious than at first reported. Eight persons were killed and eieht injured, some of them dangerously. The accident was caused by the bursting of a car-wheel, and seems to have been unavoidable.
