The most serious collision which has occurred in this vicinity for somo'years happened yesterday afternoon about ono o'clock, on the U. 0. road, one mile wentof Farmington, sixty-llvo miles east of tills city, ami resulted in tho instant death of two men, tho fatal wounding of n third, and thomoro or less serious injur v of llvo others. 'liio trains which camo1 together were No. *4, Baltimore and Chicago express, commonly known as on tho road as "The Dalny," unci local freight traia So. 80, from this city for tho east. Tho engines were almost "upon each other around a curve befnro tho impending danger was discovered, and nothing could then'avert it. The engines camo together with a frightful olash, and at onco a shocking 8CU110 of ruin and confusion ensued. TWO M KX KII.I.K1). A freight conductor named Capt.

Boyd was loss lucky, lie was caught in the wreck of the tender, and liis shoulders painfully crushed. The engineer of the passenger train, John Smith, was also severely injured, but not dangerously. George Leonard, the freight engineer, was shockingly scalded, and cannot live till this morning. ^Conductor Turley and Fireman O'Ponnell, of the freight train, were killed outright, O'lkmnell's body being caught by the irons of the engine in the fall and mutilated most sickeningly. The engine of tlio freight train turned over and over down the hunk and landed in the creek. The other fell the other way. The passengers escaped injury, by peculiar good fortune, and at once went to work to relieve the sulfering about tliem. ; TUB KiU.KJ) A.VJJ J.VJUJIKJ).

The scene just after the trains collided was simply indescribable. The engine of the ; passenger train lay partly turned over, and the fireman, Boyd, was so wedged in : the wreck that he could not move, but lay with his face slowly cooking, his shoulders and chest crashed* by their load, and the water from the tender pouring over him, and mingling in a shiny mass with the cement and Hour scattered about for yards from the wrecked freight airs, lie was rescued with difficulty. The shock threw the contents of the six freight cars which were demolished in a ulintt'np intn tin. nil* llmirnnil grain mined all over the surrounding ground, over the cars of both trains and the engines, where, mingling with the escaping steam and tho water from the tanks it formed a paste which set about the faces and figures of the injured men, rendering them unrecognizable. The mail car was also wrecked, and it ami the broken freight cars were piled in two heaps of broken timber and iron. UEU'ING Til 13 WOC.VDCD. At once the alarmed passengers begnn hurrying to see if any of their friends were hurt." One lady aboard tho train was n friend of Mail Agent Adams, and he had taken her little girl aboard his car at Grafton. She escaped injury. The passengers at once began working like heroes to extricate the engangercu and bleeding train hands. The mt'inbers of the two crews who escaped unhurt, also assisted. The work was nece^asily slow, however. SheritFChambers, of Washington countv, Pa., accompanied by a prisoner, John Miller, was aboard, and in the excitement Miller was forgotten. When Mr. Chambers looked around for Him again, he found him working as bravely as anybody, and rendering good service. The bodies of the two men who were killed were taken to their homes at Martiusburg and Piedmont, respectively, and the injured made as comfortable as possible. Smith was brought to his home in tliis city. CAUSE OV THE ACCIDENT, -rv...: ?i... -.1! t 11._ 1 i mviug iu uiu ruiiuuuuu ui mo ruuruuu employer, it was ditlicult to ascertain who was to blame. It was stated on pretty, good authority, however, that the conduc- j tor and (Engineer of the freight train misunderstood or misread their orders. The orders were to goto Mannington and there wait ior the exprerjj train to pasi, hut it was taken to be Fariuington, and the freight train was going at an unusually swift speed to make the siding a mile be1 yond. the scene of tho wreck. Jn all the confusion Engineer Smith had presence of mind to apply his air breaks, which no doubt prevented a more disastrous collision. The mail hags recovered from the wreck were brought to this city, arriving about 10 o'clock hist evening. They were in a terribly filthy condition and nearly every one was water-soaked. The water from tho tenders was the cause. As fast as the bugs were opened the contents were spread out to dry. Some of tho packages 'were reduced to" a pulp of paper, others were torn. Stamps had soaked oil' and the address in hundreds of cases'was ol^ literate*!. It will bo a work of two or three days getting that mail straightened out. . .... The wreck was not cleared away until a late hour.last night, and all trains will be more or less delayed this forenoon. - Actor* nt Wiwo BnJJ, A. gamo of base ball was played on the Fair Grounds yesterday, which was interesting if not closely contested.

'MASON'S SPEECH ON PRESENT STATE POLITICS At the Oporn Houhb Ln*t Night I.Utened to by ft Very Bumll Auilleure, luul Doom not lijr nny Mvnnn Mnko a Soiiintlon?A Tnni v Thvurvtlcnl Km May on Attain*. Mr.J.M. Mason, of Jefferson county, ex-member of tho Legislature, and nt prcsont u member of tho Tax Commission of thiA State, made his spceeh at tho Opera IIou.su Iiiat evening, which had bcgn.advttttisort us a "noil partisan address on'Stato politics." Tho audience was very small. Mr. M. Keilly introduced Mr. Mason. Tho usual crowd of prominent citizens on tho platform was dispensed with. MU. mason's ItKM.UtKH. Mr. Mason's speech was a sad disai>polntment to those who expected spicy criticism or interesting revelations. It was a theoretical consideration of tho degeneracy of modern politics, and a comparison of tho past with the prcsont, of the period when political questions wore debated and decided on tlioir merits;and these lato years, when, ho says, there has grown up u well defined order of men who make a business of munacinir elections. and things have como to such a pass that wo havo In almost every county a class oi political managers, not. respected by friends nor trusted by neighbors, who, by trick, treachery and corruption, suppress tho intelligence of tho Community, and beat down thopatriotic elementsot society. Those managers of politics, representing every character of influence from United States Senator to bar room loafer, infest every community, and their pestilential presence drives men of chnractei 1 and respectability from active participation in public affairs. STATE POLITICS. Turning to homo affairs, Mr. Mason said: It ia an open secret that certaii ' astuto and heretofore successful manager 1 of West Virginia politics realize the exist ' ence of some dissatisfaction in tho Demo cnit'u! ranks, and it is public knowledge 1 that West Virginia is now claimed as i doubtful State by the National Kxecutivi Committee of tho Republican party, bu the instincts of our people are overwhelm ingly Democratic. The discontent in our ranks comes fron ' a cause that also disturbs the Itcpiiblica; 5 party, and it is tho out-cropping of a wide apreau una (leep-scateu ueiiei mat in 1 professional politicians and party newspa i pers are trying to control our votes by tic t ception uiul trickery. s THE DEOENEUATE 1'ItESS. | The newspapers of this Stale, with rur exception, nre conducted either for th purposes of partisan warfare or else witl an eye single to making money. In on case'the editor advocates anything or an; body that may increase the party vote o strengthen party lines, and in theothe ease lie will advocate anything or anybod; that augments the advertising or ofler present profit. It is a melancholy trutli that the publl journals of to-day have entirely lost tin confidence and respect of all classes. Tin press, has come to be regarded like a law ycr who will argue1 for either side tlia pays the highest price ami an editor ex poses at auction the. inlluence of his col umns and his ability to manufacture falsi opinion by deceiving the audience whicl supports his paper. A comparison was instituted betweei tile-conventions which nominated Hem; A. Wise for Governor and Breckenridw for President, and those which chose E W. Wilson and Cleveland for the sann position, and the chango was declared t< indicate an alarming condition of things Yet Wilson was complimented as a wortm representative of the non-oilice seeking class. THE ALLEGED RINO. Mr. Mason's reference to the State Dem ocratic. ring was rather tame: "The Wheeling convention was not t meeting controlled by the professiona . puiuii.ii maiiugere. ii iraiu 01 uvuuia nut , roused (he Democracy of this State am , culminated in a convention which was re solved to eliminate from this campaign al least, the oft repeated charge of bossisu and ring rule. The nominee of that con . vention had not been chosen in secre , conclave by political exports, and the peo | pie feel a confidence that he docs no ; wear the collar of any clique or combina tion. Previous to the meeting of that conven tion a suspicion had gone through tliii , State that the machinery of party politic: , was used to advanco the pergonal fortunci of a secret combination of politicians wht were using wrong influences to control the nominations. It was also believed that r part of the press of this State had beer used to traduce and exclude from tho pub lie confidence those Democrats of capacitj and honesty who were not subservient tc the personal schemes of this combinatior and had attempted to deceive Democrats voters by suppressing the truth and publishing what was false. The instincts ol our people are overwhelmingly Democratic and there came agroundawell which taughl the managers of elections that our Democratic instincts had been offended;" UKARHRnnMENT ANP'lltE CONTEM1T CASE. The supplemental luscearnont order, and the Btate of affairs wlii?*h led to it, were reviewed, and the Administration defended, the necessity for the order being ascribed to the timidity of tho Democratic Legislature. Tho mandamus against the assessor of Brooke county was also sustained, as was the judgment against the editor of the Intelligence!: for contempt. Mr. Mason said} ' Our Supreme Court lias decided that a certain publication constituted an offence against the laws of this State; according" to tho opinion on the street, this decision is wrong, Who will decide whether tho Court has propounded tho law as it is found in tho books? Shall wo take the opinion of the street? There are lawyers always ready to express an opinion, although they do not know anything about tho mailer except the unfair garbled statements in newspapers, intended to suppress tho truth and published to deceive, lt;is tho btjBipess of'jucourt to declare tho law cs they understand it,r after they have studied tho books. All the lawyers who have studied the opinion tell me tlmt our Judges decided accordisg io inw, but goino lawyers who navo not studied this opinion, say that this decision does not agreo with what they think the law ought to be. Whose judgment -shall, wo take? Society"has agreed that when the court declares the law, each''citizen will submit, and if;the law as announced by the court does not satisfy a majority of the people, iheii.ihe remedy is for the Legislative department to make a chango." A DANGEUOUX UOCTIU.VE. "Hut in this campaign a new and dangerous doctrine has been started, and persons say: "We should vote against the, Judges because they have declared that to i be law, winch according to the opinion on | the street, ought not to be the law." This new doctrine is, that if a court decides one way when some people want it to decide another way, then tlio judges are to be defeated. Ilenceour people stand con fronted with this issue ; shall this election* proclaim io future judges that in West''Virginia a court must declaro that to be law which is not law whenever public opinion is one way but the law books are the other way? Thero aro persons so blinded-by partisan zeal tiiat they would sacrifice the independence of our judicial system in order to strengthen party lines. I now make an appeal to the conservative elements ,of. society.to stay the iconoclastic hand 'of partisan zeal and save to the ship the only anchor which can hold her in place when the next atorm rages in this state. If I were a Republican I would support, at this election, these old judges lk'cause since this issuo is mado the people must rally to preserve an independent judiciary. For myself, I will trade my ballot for a Republican nominee yroviued I bring THE HOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. Council,,Utile 4 nntl the Late Loan Ordinance. 7\? Ihr EdUor oj the lnUUIgencrr. . Sin:?Last Friday evening, at a meeting of the Second Branch of Council, Mr. Shanlcy, of tho First ward, assorted that tho cause of the defeat of tho Loan Ordinance at tho Into election was Ilule No. 4 of tho Board of Public Works, and called on tho members "to show their manhood*' by repealing said rulo. Was tho welfare of tho city his niotivo or was lie merely pos* iiig for ofTect? Was ho not trying to mako cheap capital for himself as an embryo Democratic candidate for City Sergeant? It is an open secret that lie is a candidate for tho Sergeantcy and It may be possible that ho sometimes feels that tho people of this city and county have fed and clothed him much longer tfian his attainments entitle him to and his llerco onslaught on KuloNo. 4 isa dovico to gain favor, with the dear people, by throwing mud ut what, he thinks, is the under dog in tho tight. How much did ltula 4 really havo to do with defeating tho Loan Ordinance? How many persons, who voted attlio late election, know there was such nrule? Granting that a majority of tho negative votes, cast ut that election, wore intended as hits at tho Board of Public Works, it is safe to assert that tho preat majority of 1 those votes were expressions of ill will, on f the part of the voters, for some personal grievance and not a rebuke for tho Hoard's ; extravagonce, and not live voters in every hundred knew of or cared for Utile 4. It is also truo, that if tho Loan Ordi nanco were again suunntieu 10 uio people, 1 with Kulo 4 repealed ami no assurance \ k'iyeiv vlliftt Council would , tnnnai'o tho city's affaire more economically In the future than has been done in the past, the ' negative vote would bo twice as largo as it was. Suppose Air. JShanloy and his friends repeal liulo 4, whero will it place them? " The act creating the Board of Public Works says all contracts on account of the sfrects'nnd alleys shall l>e made by tho Hoard. Kulo 4 limits tho amount of the , contracts to $11,000. If Council repeals , this rule will it nlaco tho making of eons tracts in its hands? By no means?Coun. cil cannot set aside an act of tho Xegislu. ture by an ordinance, and tho authority 2 to contract will still bo in tho hands of tho "x Board. > Tho Legislature did not place the city I in tho hands of tho Board, but wisely pro. vided that a stop could be put in its work, at any time Council ehooscs to "assert its Q manhood" and refuse to appropriate ? money on tho requisitions of the lioard. The uniform manner in which that body L? has, in the i>ast, honored every requisition made on it by the Boanl, can be construed in no other way than an approval of the work being done by tho Boanl, and it is in bad taste for one or more of its members to try to shelter themselves from public censure by asserting that one rule e of more than tifty was the causo of all the present trouble. c Blame the Boanl as much as lie chooses, y Mr. S. shows that ho is conscious of soimi r wrong doing on his part and is trying tc i" conceal his own guilt in a show of virY tuous indignation at a party whom he ? thinks the dear r>oople have porved the vials of their wratn upon. c Before the late election the Branch ol u Council to which Mr. S. belongs "asserted u its manhood" by adopting a resolution that no more money would be paid by 1 Council except on contracts first approved - by it. This was intended as an assurance - to the people that in future Council would 3 be more careful and its passage had no 1 more effect on the vote on the loan ordinance than a pull' of wind. This resolti1 tion was intended to accomplish more than ' to repeal Rule 4 possibly could do, but the Mayor and Mr. ?S. can see no other way of safety than in its repeal. The true way for Council to "assert its > manhood" is for it to so arrange the city's finances that both the people and the ' Board can know how much money can be i spent on the streets and alleys during each year and the sources from which the money can bo derived. When this is done - in an intelligent and business manner there will be no trouble in passing a l*o:m Ordil nance. 1 If Mr. S. and his friends would permit a I suggestion in reference to the matter, it 1 is respectfully asked if the Gas Trustees - and Water Board, after this year, could t not set aside their net profits to form a i fund for the repairs and improvements of - the streets and alleys. These two boards t use the streets more than all the citizens - in the trasaction of their respective busit nesses and it is but fnir that the surplus in - their hands, which is paid in by our citizens, should be expended for the benefit - of the people. Each of theso boardfi could, 5 aner soiling asiuo icn percent 01 meir i profits to form a contingent fund, pay over i to tho City Receiver twenty-five thousand > dollars per year, to bo held by liim jus a j fund for street improvements and tobe paid i out only on appropriations made by Couui cil. These two sums, with the present . contingent fund of the Board of Public - Works, would amount to about seventy> five thousand dollars, which is about the i amount absolutely necessary for the streets and alleys o'f this city every year. We have more than fifty miles of streets [ and alleys and not oncrfltth of thorn paved : and the outlay necessary to keep them in ; even passable order is greater than most . people Imagino, Ji this courso were pursued in future and Council would "assert its manhood" I by refusing to appropriate any money ; alter the fund was exhausted, tho Board 1 of Public Works would not boa source of any trouble to the people or Council so ' far as money matters go. No board would contract for work, if it had a knowledge of 1 iU funds being exhausted, and no more work would be laid, out each year than, thero would bo money to pay (or. A great advantage of this plan would be its practicability and a still greater one that it would not increase taxes. Tho re would be no occasion to ask tho Legislature next winter, as Mr. llildreth suggests, to allow Council to increase taxation, Both of these Boards make a profit of at least twenty-five thousand .dollars per year, and by the end of this year will have mado all tho improvements necessary to run their departments successfully for twenty years. If this plan docs not seem practicable will Mr, 8, and his friends show how the repeal of Rule No. 4 is half as much so? " jYVill.'Mr. S. and his friends also show what part Rulo 4 had in the following transactions of Council during tho past two years? ..First?'What part had Rule A In the overcheck of thirty-five thousand dollar*? which stood against tho city on tho first day of July, 18S2, when Rule 4 flrxt went into effect? Second?What bad Rule 4 to do with the addition of eight men to the police f?*n? n* o ,.m;1.;W? rtf-olv .V.I Multireel arid"forty dollars? Third?What had Rule 4 to do with tho addition of houses, men and horses to the Firo Department at a coat of ten thousand dollars? Y Fourth-Wat had Mlulo 4 to do Svitlx the purchase of the Silsby engine at'a cost of more than four thousand dollars? Fifth?"What had lVulo 4 to do with the giving of open air concerts at a cost of nearly two thousand dollars? Sixth?'What has Rule 4 to do with tho payment of more than twenty thousand dollars in salaries to olllcersto manage tho business of a corporation whoso income is one hundred and sixty thousand ?more than one dollar In every twenty paid for wages? Seventh?What had Itule 4 to do with members of Council from the First, Fourth and Eighth wards forming a combination and securing: tho passage of an orderdi recting tho Board of Public Works to dig up the macadamizing on Sixteenth streot from EofTto McCollocn, and on Mam from Ninth to Jonathan's Gut, and pave these ! streets with fire clay blocks, and to also : pave EofF from Thirty-first to Thirtyninth streets with the same blocks; the whole to cost not less than forty-livo thousand dollars, or more than half as much as i the Board of Public Works has expended on all tho streets, alleys and sewers for i 'whole year? 1 In the passago of each and all of the , Above measures Mr, S, and his friends took apart and ho now asks lor a repeal o( Rulo A to distract attention Irom things S which liulo 4 has 110 hearing on. <1 It Is not the repeal of Rulo ! which this ? city's interests demand. It is tho selling J aside ot some ot tho unwritten rules which b liavo grieved our Councils lor years and <' which ennhlo ward politicians to climb out " ol Council into paying oIIIccb and there n feed and tatton at tho expense o[ ncitv, ? wIioho Incoinc is not sufficient lo pav lor the luxury of having thein in high places ? in licr government.

J A special meeting of tho First Branch of * Council was held at tho City Building 1 lost evening. Mr. Myles waa chosen to \ preside In tho absence of tho Mayor. The ] other members present wero Messrs. J Boring. Brock, Miller, I Jailer, Hull, Donaldson, List nml Frit*. Tho minutes < of tho previous meeting wero read and I approved. j On motion of Mr. Brock tho special ten < cent* levy ordinance for tho purpose of ! raising revenues for tho payment of now j work on streets ami alleys not heretofore < paved or macadam teed; which was read ] once at the last meeting of this Branch . and laid over, objection being raised to Its ! second reading, was taken up, read twice and adopted. Tho ordinance will have to , bo adopted by tho Second Branch before ' it goes into force. Tho ordinance, it will ; bo remembered, was presented at tho ' time tho regular levy was, and has since ' then been n subject of considerable discussion. I A number of committco reports and other i>apers ncti.nl on by tlio Second ; Branch at previous meetings were read, and tlio actions concurred in by this Branch. The ordinance granting tho Overland Telephono and Telegraph Co. tho right to erect poles and wires in tho city subject to certain restrictions, adopted by tho Second Branch, was adopted by this, with the amendment offered by Mr. Hall, to the effect that the poles are to l>e kept neatly painted to the satisfaction of the Board o'f l'ublic Works. Tho report of the Board of Public Works asking for an appropriation of over $10,000 for work completed and undereontrnct (Sixteenthstreet improvement) called forth the usual remarks about the recklessness of Council in ordering the work done, and tho weak condition of city tiuanccs, but the bills had to be paid, anil 1 were ho ordered. 1 Mayor Miller appeared during the scs sion and took his seat. Messrs. Hall and Happy also appeared. The Branch adjovrned at 1) o'clock. PANGUOrtN AT FULTON'. | iV SplomUil KviuiblU'un Mut'tlng Ov?r the II1U L?Ht Night, i A splendid JJepiiblican rally was held at t Fulton last evening. Under the most favorable auspices, in size and interest ! shown, the meeting would have been i c.dled a great success, but when it is . taken fnto consideration that the weather ? was threatening and that the meeting was . not advertised until yesterday morning, the meeting may be said to have been a [ surprising success and stvong evidence of the interest the people of that thriving little hamlet are taking in the struggle forthe overthrow of Bourbonism that is going on in this State and for the election of James , G. Blaine. The committee was very agreeably surprised over the meeting. It I was held" at the Blaine and Lojjan pole, a . nicely decorated stand having been rri.~ ?'? *i.? , VICV.IVU. JL HU JJIUCK. IVliyiCO Ul lliu Fourth'ward with their corps went out j and a delegation from the First ward club was also present. Fully 000 people gathered about the stand to listen, and i the gratifying part of it was, that they staid and listened attentively from beginning to end. Mr. John II. McFall presided. The speaker of the evening was Major Z. F. Pangfoorn, editor of the Brooklyn, N. V., Evaunt] Journal, a most eloquent and entertaining talker. For one hour and ; a half he claimed the people's attention, giving facts that were bound bvtheir force , to receive careftd consideration from the hearers in u sensible manner. He was frequently interrupted bv applause. Many liouse3 were nicely illuminated and tire works and red fire blazed away nearly all the time.
