BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 10.—Frederick Douglass, United States minister to the island of Hayti, was an attendant at the colored camp in Wayman's grove, and delivered an address to a small but eh thusiatic audience. 'He said: "There was a time when we could not assemble as we do to-day to debate and contem plate the relation existing between us and our citizens generally. A Great, Change Ha» Taken Place among the colored race, vast and won derful has it been. We are living among scenes that remind us of anew earth. The time has come when we can look our fellow citizens in the face and share in the glory of the country. We who came through toil and suffering know this." Speaking of Hayti, Mr. Douglass said he was somewhat tonuge-tied, be cause he was still in office and was go ing back. In reference to the negro question, he said that 100 years ago Hayti was surrounded by slavery, and the Carribean sea reddened by the curse. The negro was a slave every where and under every nation in the islands of the West Indies. But they Had the Manhood to B1M and drive out the men who tyranized them. These degraded, stupid negroes were not only able to assert their liberty, but to organize a government which they have carried on for eighty-seven years. They have sent their ministers to all Christian lands, and Hayti has never been known to break a treaty. OFFICIAL DENIAL DENIED. Three Killed in tihe B. ft O. Disaster Near Wheeling and Five Injured.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10.—The potato crop is turning out quite well in the Northwest, says the Minneapolis Market Record. This crop, owing to cheapness in most years, has gone into wasteful consumption. The greater part of the country in the Northwest, in recent re ports, showed that very little attention is usually paid to raising potatoes for sale. Whenever there is a short supply, however, that brings up the price to an attractive figure, people are surprised by the amount of potatoes raised above home wants. When $1 a bushel was talked of, the whole of this part of the country discovered all at once that there were but few potatoes in a hill and small ones at that. In some sections that is true. But since the high prices begin to bring them out the groweis themselves are astonished that the pro duction is so large. Finally, they came to market so freely that the price has gone down below expectations. WRECKING TRAINS COLLIDE. Serious Triple Accident on the Blaek Hills and Fort Pierre Hoad. DEADWOOD, S. D., Sept. 10.—The pas senger train over the Black Hills and •Fort Pierre railroad ran into a lot of rocks which had fallen on the track from an overhanging cliff, about ten miles this side of Piedmont, derailing the en gine and shaking up the passengers gen erally.

The train was stopped by a danger signal south of Old Troy, which is 500 yards south of the New Hamburg drawbridge. Two min utes previous the flagman had discov ered several ties standing endwise in the culvert near Old Troy, and when he took hold hold of one of them to remove it he was fired upon from the bushes on the east side" of the track. Knowing the fast express was nearly due he ran southward and set the danger signal, which stopped the train. A Trainman's Story. A railroad employe who was on the train says that two men out rowing on the river near that point saw some men busy on the tracks, and when they dis appeared they crawled quietly up. They found a steel rail wedged in the cattle guard in the same wey- as at Albany, and braced up in the same way by pieces of flange- iron. With all their strength they could not move it, and started down the track to warn the Chicago limited express. They met a trackman, and he, swinging his red lan tern, started to stop the train. In an instant several shots rang out, and one took effect in the trackman's shoulder. However, the train was stopped about 100 yards south of the obstruction. THEY FOUGHT FOR LOVE.
