WoKMBAiutf, : Pa., Oct. 11 About 10 O'clock bust night a dreadful acci dent on the Lehigh Valley Railroad was rumored to bare taken place, and further reports aaid the wrecked train was a section of an excursion train returning from flazelton. Nearly six thousand Luzerne and Lackawanna people had Igoni there and no one knew j oat who had returned. The railroad official were mute; they knew nothing Crradually the stories took a terrible form. It. leaked out that Sapenntendent Mitchell, and others, had gonej down the road on a speciaj train. Prirate telegrams ar med, saying n sccfetent had oc curred at Mud Run, one section of the excursion train running into an other. Forty persons were reported killed. .1 The people were in agony and the crowd at tip depot swelled to hun dreds. Still the officials were mute. No dispatches could be gotten over the wires. -Many well known citizens were at the depot wringing their hands, faces tearful and panic stricken. Women thronged the depot with terrot-atrifcken countenances, sobbing, crying,: or silent and trem bling; with dreadful uncertainty. Still the railway offiojals preserved their terribly crul silence, declaring that they knew nothing. Every moans was taken to get; information, but all to no. nnrnnsfl. A '..New .Teraev (lentral train finally brought news to "the ef fect that eighty were silled, and the excitement grevir intense. All the White Haven physicians had gone to the soene. . There were seventy-eieht oars from Wilkes barre to Hazelton, me namter qi passengers Deing apout 6,500. The sections were all crowded to suffocation, furnishing the condi tions for a terrible loss of life in case of wreck. ? f, Then at night the depot was thronged by hundreds of persons, suffering untold srony over the un certainty. The hrong was loud in its denunciation of the company for refusing all information and causing needless suffering. ' - . At 3 30 a. m. a report was in circu lation-that arrangements had been made for theecipt'of a large num ber of wounded it the hospital. The rumor was soon confirmed. The offi cials were expecting tT25 of the vic tims. With sues a list of wounded coming in this direction the publie puis stood lull over : the horrible possibilities and thousands of fainting hearts quivered in dread. Many per sona wanted tj gp to the -scene, and endeavored toscharter a car. Rev. Father Moyla&, pf Scranton offered to pay cash itikgpj expense : in that direction, buthf favor could not be obtained,. ow&ig to the absence of Superintendent Mitchell at the wreck. Hany persons, after waiting aoriug the long, weary hours, from 10 o'clock; to 8 in the morning, took the south-bound trait which passed here at 3 10, and wnt to the soene of the appalling disaster. It was -there learned that the third section of the excursion, train aiad stood on the track a few hnndrei yards from Mad Run, waiting pr'the section ahead to get out of the fway. The flsgman- some ssytwas then sent back with a lan tern to guard (h train from the rear. Suddenly passengers on the rear plat form saw; a trim approaching at a high rate f speed- Several of these passengers, who saw the danger, jumped and escaped. In an instant the flash ox a head -light shone on the ill fated train, t There was a frightful crash and the engine plunged her full length into th'ejrowded mass of hu- mamtv. The shock drove the rear ear through they next one for two thirds of its length and the second ear was forced into the third. Mot a single person escaped from the rear car The second was crowded with maimed and bleeding bodies and the third car had bat few passengers who escaped tminiured, but the' terror stricken passengers of both trains made their war out of the cars, and on going to the telescoped engine and cars where the full horror of the terrible disaster dawned on them the shattered f engine was pouring forth streams of scalding steam and water which hid from their eyes the full measure of the horrible scene, while its hissing' sound deafened the cries and groans, of those imprisoned in the wreck. Ghastly white faces peered into windows to be greeted by dead.faees. Some of the dead sat pinioned in, seats, erect as in life, staring Open-eyed as if aware of the horrible surroundings. As the steam and smoke cleared from the rear car its awful sights fwere revealed. The timbers were crashed and wrenched, while on all sides hung mangled bodies and limbs, The few bodies not mangled were burned and scalded by steam- When the shock of the first crash had in a measure subsided the uninjured began; to do what could be, done' for their unfortunate companions. The few light tools on the train I were called into service but proved feeble instruments. There was a pioneer corps on the train with brofd-axes which were meant for holidaV service. They were but little adapted to work and were soon rendered useless. In the mean time, the windows of the cars were smashed in, brave men led and raised those least hurt, in the cars. In one car thev found? John Lynch, of Wilkesbarre, hanging from the roof by one leg. His sries brought friends, who, to relieve his sufferings, stood upon wreckage aftd held his weight upon their backs until he was released from his terrible position. A young lady was found :aught by the lower limbs. One of her limbs : was quickly released but the other oouid not be freed and the smfortunately misdi rected blow of ah; axe severed it from the body. ! She.; taking out her gold watch, handed it to an acquaintance as a gift to a at home She wa3 put on board one of the trains and given all possible care,; bat she could not survive her terrible injuries and died in the arms of "friends on board the car. To free a body in the rear' car the trainmen, led by the engineer of the wrecked locomotive, started to pull it from the wreck. The move ment of the shattered wreck brought from the wounded soch awf tfl cries of distress that surrounding friends or dered the engineer to desist on pain of hii life. They did not wish to see mangled forms still further mutila ted. The few houses about the spot were thrown open to the suffering and the ladies were taken care of. It is not probable that the work will be completed before noon. Passengers on the train state tyiat they saw the train ahead when far down the road- They sprarig from their Beats and started in worider and surprise that the train did not slacken up. Suddenly their engineer and fireman were seen to jump'. Then came the shock. The engineer, Harry Cook, and fireman Hugh Gallagher, sustained slight injuries.: The fireman subsequently stated that he Saw the red light, informed the engineer , and then lumped. The passengers gave many different accounts of the probable) cause of the accident, some attributing it to the neglect of the flagman in not going back with the red light, others saying the f ourth section, which ran into the third, had no air-brakes. After news reached the hospital confirming the worst fears, the scenes at the depot were heart-rending indeed. Several hundred persons were assembled. The report spread that a train was ap- Jiroaching. Then a rush was made or the platform.! A line of policemen and railroad men was - drawn . up to keep back the crowd. It was then reported that the wounded were on board and were to be taken on to Mill Creek, near the hospital, and there transferred. One desperate man, hearing this, sprang forward and with an awful oath dared any One ; to atop him. He said his family were on board and that any attempt ' to keep him from them would cost a life. It was learned later that no wounded Were on board. Ab the train drew up it was found to contain many from Pleasant Valley and Minnoki who had left r dead friends behind- As they alighted and met acquaintances their shrieks and wails were pitif ul to hear. One young woman moaned that her fathen and sister were dead, another a brother and so it went. The Crowd became wild with excitement. Gradu ally the facts narrated above were gleaned from the more composed. A sad incident was the presence on the platform of Michael Whalen of Pleas ant Valley, Up and down he wander ed, questioning each one as to his two boys, aged respectively 12 and 14 years. Finally one of the pasaeSgers remembered that one of the boys was hurt. The strong man groaned. The informer hurried away and told a re-. porter that he thought both boys were killed. The report getting abroad in Scran- ton, a number of persons who had friends on'the trainhired a special jrain on , which they came down to this oity. They were desirous of going oh to the scene of the wreck but were re fused permission by the oompany. They were highly indignant at the treatment received. A special train of three cars, in charge of Dr. W. Trimmer, of Whitehaven,, arrived here at 6 o'clock this morning from the wreck with twenty-four injured persons. They were placed in care of Dr. W. G. Weaver, of this city, who accompanied them to the city hospital. Dr. Trimmer reports that many of the injured are badly burned by gas coming from the engine-stack. The killed as far' as learned number forty-nine and the injured twenty two. Nine additional names have been given out of the , bodies from last night's wreck which have been identi fied. Two of the injured brought here died today in the? hospital, and five or six more are likely to die- The list of identified dead now foots up 61. Ihe numDer of injured is sur prisingly small in proportion to the total casualties, many more people being reported killed than injured.;; There still remain a number, of an identified bodies.

Warbihotoh, October 11 Senate rbe Senate chamber presented this unrr:'"g( after the reading of the 0urna , a aepressingiy deserted 'ispect, there being but five Senators preheat on the Democratic side, and bat ft 'teen on the Republican side Subsequently, however, a half tlozeu more Democrats , put in an appear ance. The House bill appropriating $50,- 000 for the enforcement of the Chi neae exlusion act was reported by Mr. Allison and passed. Mr. Mitchell then proceeded to ad dress the Senate in advocacy of the bill heretofore introduced by him to redafoe letter postage to one cent. At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell s speech the bill was referred to the postoffioe committee. The Senate then at 12.50. resumed consideration of the tariff bill and was addressed by Mr. Cullom in ad vocacy of the Senate bill. In the course of his remarks he made refer ence to -Mr. Vest's letter, heretofore frequently referred to as calling the Presidential struggle "a fight to the death." Mr. Vest said that he wanted to make a statement as to that letter. It was a private letter, written on his desk in the Senate during debate and afterwards type-written by hia secre tary. If be had had the slightest suspicion that it would have been made public he would certainly have been more particular in framing its sentences and in the verbiage used; but to any fair-minded man, the letter was plain and unequivocal. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read the original memorandum from which the letter was written, Including the fol lowing sentences: We are entering on a mos fear ful Presidential contest the most important since that of 1800. "Cleveland by his message (for which I sincerely honor him) has challenged the protected industries4 of the country to a fight of extermi nation. The men who are accumu lating immense fortunes under the present tariff laws are determined to defeat Cleveland if money and indus try will accomplish it. "It is nieless to disguise the fact that the fight is to the death, and we would be i idle to ignore that fact." Mr. Vest added that any man who did not appreciate the difference be tween a letter written unaer tne cir cumstances under which that letter was written and ohe written to be submitted to the fierce criticism of -political opponents ! would have no further explanation from him. What he had wanted and what that letter (fairly construed) did say was that the issue: was between the prin ciple of absolute and unlimited protection! (which he understood the Kepubhcan party to advocate and the position of the Democratic party (which was the raising of reve nue from taxes properly adjusted) and that, on that issue the fight was to the death. Mr. Vest alio complained of a small hand-bill misrepresenting his letter and! printing it in this way: 'Cleveland, by his message (for which I sincerely honor him) has challenged the protected interests of the coun try to a war of extermination, xne fight is to the death." The man or men who did this, who took two en tirely distinct and separate portions of the letter and put them together (leaving out the intermediate and ex planatory sentences) would disgrace the striped clothes of the penitentia- Mr. Uuilom remarked that tne ex planation made the matter no better. There was' no mistaking the fact that the Senator from Missouri said that the President had challenged the protected industries to a fight for extermination. Mr. Vest The President haa made his own statement. Why not criti cise him T Mr. Cullom I have done bo. At the olose of Mr. Gullom's speech Mr. Piatt addressed the Senate in fa vor of tne Senate bill. JUe argued that in the civil war the real contro versy was between protection and free trade, and in support of that idea he' read various extracts from editorials in the New York Herald in 1861. That war, he said, was a con spiracy against Northern labor, and it was the Northern; labor system which- in defending itself had pre served the nation intact. It might have been , supposed that free trade surrendered at Appomatox, bnt it had not. The free trade doctrine had two classes of supporters at the North. These were the doctrinaires, the professors of colleges, who knew nothing whatever of practical states- manship, of practical business or of practical political economy, and the spoilsmen who sought by adhesion to the free trade fortunes of the Solid South to get office for themselves and their friends. Mr. Chaos next addressed the Senate, directing his remarks largely to a contrast between the Republican and Democrat! administrations in the management of the postal aervioe "of the country. Without concluding his remarks Mr. Chaoe yielded the floor and the Senate at 1:40 adjourned until tomorrow. DOCKERY A BID DBVEBKVX BPOK1 TO A SHALL CBOWD TE8TEBDAI AT MARSHALL.

Jktfxrsoh, N. 0., Oct. 5, 1888. At this point, as well as at Fayette ville, Wilkes boro, Trap Hill and SpayAa, a division of time was de manded, but sternly refused. The Democrats were again asked to follow Gapt Kitchin, and the crowd did fol lowat least three-fourths of it amid great cheers and shouts, to a tree, where Buck Kitchin, the great slaughterer of Republicans, spoke for two hours, and gave the cheerful Democrats of this section the most comfortable doctrine they ever heard. The people heard the denunciations of the slanderoun efforts of Devereux and Linney with marked attention. The Democrats are greatly pleased with the courteous manner in which Capt. Kitchin yields the Court Houses at each place and hia pleasant but strong demands for a division of time. Dockery's speech at this place was "unalterably" the same. Devereux continued hra slanders upon Fowle, Holt, Bain, Primrose, Stamps, Merri mon, Ransom, etc. Madison county will give a largely increased vote for Democracy in No vember next. The people are not only hopeful but joyous over the pros pects. Linney, rritchard and Deve reux are enough to sicken any intelli gent community. The Republican candidates show by the.r actions that they have given up the contest in the West. r Bakebsvilli, N. C, Oct. 8. Docker y and Devereux spoke here today to a crowd of men, women and children. They were met a mile or so on the road by about three hundred (mostly women and boys) mounted on horses and mules. The entire crowd had small flags in their hats, and they went through the country whooping and shouting, a perform ance which reminded one of the sav age race that inhabited these moun tains many years ago. The country has been scoured for weeks to get everybody and anybody for this occa sion, and many have been induced to come from Tenneesee.A mighty effort is being made to bulldoze and have big meelings. Neither Dockery nor Deve reux has any hope of being elected, but they expect the national ticket to win and so to get big fat offices. The western people are not fools: They understand the whole proceeding. I hear of many changes from Republi canism to Democracy in western Car olina, and principally in Republican districts. There are a good many life-long Republicans in Wilkes, Al leghany, ABhe, Watauga and Mitch ell counties that will vote the Demo cratic ticket in November next. Lin ney and Pritchard have done the work. These two men are a stench in the nostrils of the respectable Re publicans of the west. ' Kltehtx at Boone . Cor. of tne Kewt and Observer. October 6th, 1888. For two weeks it had been known all over Watauga county that O. H. Dockery and Thomas Devereux would speak in Boone on Saturday, October 6th. The Republican county commit tee had by posting handbills and dis patching riders throughout the whole County informed every one of the great Republican jubilee. It was to be the grand meeting of the Republi cans in this part of Western North Carolina. Lee Green, Crisp, Bing ham and other leading Republicans employed all their time and energy towards securing a large and enthu siastic audience. It had not been generally known that the Hon. W. H. Kitchin would be here to meet the great moguls of the Republican party. But few Dem ocrats in the county knew of his com ing. On Saturday morning he rolled in, ready for the fight. As Boon as Dockery and biS brethren had assem bled in the Court House, and after Linney had introduced Devereux, Mr.1 Joseph Spainhour, chairman, of the Democratic County Committee, ap peared upon the scene and in plain and emphatic labguage asked that there be extended to Mr. Kitchin a division of time. Mr. Devereux acting for Dockery said that under no conditions would Mr. Dockery di vide time with Mr. Kitchin. Imme diately upon this refusal, Mr. Spain- hour informed the audience that there would be Democratic speaking in the Masonic hall, and requested that those who believed in Democratic faith and principles, and also those, who wished to. bear a fair diaoussion of the politi cal issues, retire to that building. As Boon aa this announcement was made, with one grand Democratic yell, two thirds or more of the crowd retired and left Dockery and his crowd great ly disconcerted, amazed and sur prised. Mr. Joseph Spainhour, in bis happy and eloquent style, introduced the speaker. KITCHIN 8 SPKXCH. Mr. Kitchin opened his speech by Baying that he regretted exceedingly that the Republicans have not the manhood to face the opnonents of their devilish theories, principles and practices. They have not justice and. right on their side, or tney would not be afraid to appear be fore the American people. "I dislike to call my friends the Democrats away from the words of the Republicans the Philistines of this land." The speaker then ex plained why he was here to meet Dockery. That Fowle had canvassed the West and could not afford to come here again. That he was need ed in the East, and had asked and in sisted upon Doskerv's meeting him there. That he was here for the pur pose of correcting the mistakes which Mr. Dockery and his gang see proper to make. "My friends, they are afraid to meet us in an open and fair discus sion. They know what will be the result. They know thai it will be a Democratic triumph and a Republi can defeat. Here the orator went into a discus sion of the political issues. He first took up the land question and showed plainly and clearly the. Republican policy and fraud; bow the domain of the country had been given to the KiTCUiics rich and the poor man forgotten in its distribution; how Cleveland was doing in. this matter; his honest, straight-forward and correct policy; the lands which hehsd redeemed from fraudulent owners. The tariff was next discussed by the speaker. A plainer, fairer, more eloquentandconvincingJdisouBsion has ever been heard in this State. Every argument was logical; there was no fencing and backbiting. He met the issue squarely and fairly. His illus trations could not be surpassed. He brought the question home to us all. We understood. I beard one old gentleman say that Kitchin knew more about the tariff than any man living. That he had never before understood it. That heretofore he had been a Republican, but that Kitchin had convinced him of his error and that he was out of it. Mr. Kitchin showed plainly that the tariff was for the benefit of the rich; that it did the poor no good; that it made him poor and kept bim poor. In speaking of the reductions which the Republicans profess to have made he said that they were all in the interest of the monopolists, the trusts and the rich men generally. When the poor man called for aid, they gave aid to the rich man. He next touched upon the internal revenue and explained clearly and to the satisfaction of every one the Democratic position on this question; that the party in the State was in favor of its abolition, but that we were only one State out of thirty-Beven and that the party in the other States was op posed to its abolition; that we had done and would continue to do all that we could to relieve the people from this tax but that he did not think we would succeed. He then asked what the Republicans had done in this matter and showed their de ceiving policy. Mr. Kitchin discussed plainly and with force the provisions of the Blair bill; gave his reasons why the House ought not to pass it and all were satisfied with bis arguments: Here Mr. Kitchin defended the public men of the State against the infamous charges of the Republican canvassers. He defended them in a manner most eloquent. He answered the charges made against Vance, Ransom, Fowle and others; pro nounced the attack! made upon these distinguished gentlemen as slanders, falsehoods and libels, and said that those who made them were cowards. In his discussion of county gov ernment the orator was most eloquent and forcible. He said that ho lived in a county where the negroes are in a majority; that he knew the evils of negro rule, and advanced argument and example to show the wisdom of the present system, and after he was through with this diaoussion of county government he asked if there was a man in the house who did not agree with him, and then there went up a mighty response from the vast audience, Not No! No! 1 He said he had been accused of abusing Cleveland and that this he does not deny. At one time he thought he was a wiser man than Cleveland, but he had found after coming in con tact with that gentleman that he (Cleveland) was the wiser. That there had not since the days of Washing ton been a more able, honest and just man in the White House. He bad recognized the South in all of his ap pointmenta; that we were once again a part of the Union; that he, Cleve land, was oar friend. In conclusion he paid a grand tribute to the deeda of the Democratic party in North Carolina and in the country at large, and appealed to the white people to remember those n ho bad,helped them. The speech throughout was sen sible, logical, illustrative and elo quent. Mr. Kitchin is an orator of the first order and is making a rplen did impression. I heard do?ens of people say that they had heard no such speech before; that Kitchin was their man first, last and all the time. No report could do justice to what this distinguished orator said. The above is a mere outline ol his re marks. , Boad OfferiBs and Acceptances. By Telegraph to tne News and Observer. Washington, D. 0., Oct. 11. The bond offerings today aggregated $6, 645,500.

COMPARATIVE QUIET SUCCEEDING THE BIOT Or WEDNESDAY OTHEB NEWS. By Teiegrapa to the News and Observer. Chicago, 111., Oct. 11 9 a. m. No trouble has thus far been reported at any point in the district covered by the strike of street car men, as no at tempt has been made to rah cars. t is announced that a conference be tween the strikers and representatives of the car company has been ar ranged with the view of a settlement of the difficulties. Chicago, HI., October 11. Mayor Roche held a short conference this morning with the committee of street car strikers and found them disposed to eompromia,. He then held one lasting' several hours with President Yerkes of the street car syndicate. but could make nothing out of him. Yerkes is quoted as saying after his conference with the mayor that 'all negotiations are off and the company is now prepared for a . long siege. Cars will be run today and the mayor has promised ample protection. I will make no more offers, nor will I receive any. All negotiations are off. There was serious Tiotlng Wednes day. The first trouble of the day on the West Side occurred in the after noon, when a man named Gubbins, who drove one of the cars yesterday, drove out of the Western avenue barn. He was at once surrounded by a crowd of strikers who stopped his horse, with threats of drawing the man from the buggy. Gubbins drew a revolver and fired one shot. which caused his assailants to loosen their hold and permit him to proceed. tie proceeded only a short distance when his buggy was again surround ed and he again fired two shots, scaring away his .enemies. But they rallied again, and a third time Gub bins was forced to use his revolver. This ended the fracas, and fortunate ly without bloodshed. xne nrst attempt to run a car on the West side was made in the after noon and resulted in a serious riot. It was between 3 and 4 o'clock when a car was palled out of the Western avenue barn guarded bv a half dozen policemen. The crowd stood twenty deep on both sides of the car, and the car, and the police were arranged on the inside of these walls of frantic men. A stone was thrown through the window before the car had proceeded twenty feet. Everybody dropped on the floor, while a shower of stones pelted the sides of the car. 1 he driver held the reins bravely. At the second shower of stones he fell behind the dashboard. He immedi ately arose, and once more took the lines. Tho car was - stopped for the third time at Warren avenue. Capt. Aiancn, oi tne ponce, was hit and his scalp cut open. Thus far the police had nsed only ' their clubs. The ear advanced to the intersection of Madison street, and there the police caught one of the strikers in the act of throwing a stone. The man was arrested, bat in less than a min ute a hundred strikers had piled up on the policeman and rescued the prisoner. The ear now turned the corner and started down Madison street. Tho mob followed, throwing stones. At Leavitt street a mob rushed oat to the street and boarded the ear, attempting towdrag the driver from hia position. A patrol wagon load of police rode both in front and behind the car. They dismounted and charged on the crowd. This time the maddened strikers held their own and threw stones at the bine coats. ' One man struck Lieut. Shea, and the officer followed his man through the crowd. He pulled his revolver whue running, took deliberate aim at him, fired, but his ballet missed, and it. strikers scattered in every directum. From that time on there were not any mis siles thrown.
