persons, and tho almost miraculous escape of
two train loads of pooplo, occurred on tho
tracks of tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad In
thlscltv Saturday night. A partial luvcstlga

Tho Incoming Baltlmoro train, manned

s positively know n Is that Sullhnu disputed
the w hlto Jlght to Switchman Hansel, who sig
naled tho Martlmburg train to coino on, and
switched It Into tho v. When It was half a
block from tho turn, but had already entered
and parsed tho snitch, Sullivan discovered tho
error and frantically w a cd his red light, but
too lato to bo of sin Ico or probably to be on en
cen by the engineer or fireman, both of whom
suffered with their llcs lor the mistake.
When but thirty feet apart tho engineers
righted each other, and, as tho curv o is very
abrupt, thcysawthe headlights of each other's
engine simultaneously. A bo was standing
In tho track, betw cen the onproachlng trains,

gines ncared him, and ran behind thowutch
box. From this position bo saw what follow cd.
When the engineers sighted each other both

was tho first warning tho passengers or the

Samoa crash, which sounded like tho explo

tuplng, and tbo immediate vicinity was
Jbscurcd.
Tho boy saw a body como out of ono of the
windows of tho western bound engine, and
caw tho engine of tho Murtlnsvlllo train
Iilnngo with terrific force Into tho front ot tho
laltlmore engine, leaving nn Irregular lino
through tho machlucrv to mark Its course.
Doth engines reared when they enmo Into
i ontact w 1th each other, and the tender of tho
Martlnsburg engine plunged .Into tho com
bined baggage and smoking ear, a distance of
tw olvo feet. Tho tender ran right beneath the
ear, and tho water tank ol tho tender fitted in
tho broken car as If it belonged there. The
escaping steam, cries, and curses ot tho pas
sengers und hurrj lng feet made the coiinulon
to great that it w as not until half an hour af
terward that an thing like quiet was restored.
Men and women leaned from tho win
dows and crowded tho doom, unarming
out on tho tracks in frantic haste,
screaming and pushing .all tho while.
Tho lights of tho forward cars wcro extin

People were getting out of tho w lndows, fight

The engines of both trains wcro totally
wreeked, and by tho time that tho flagman
and train bauds who craw led out of the ears
bud reached them, a fire was raging on tbo In

engineers and firemen, and It was thought
that all had been lost. About four feet from
the engine, lyng against tho sido of n brick

nuoft was expected to develop nil tho facts.
According to tno Information he had bcenablo
to obtain tho blame lay between Kunonnd
Sullhnn. Nolan undoubtedly dlsplajed the
red light both down the main stem toward tho
depot and across to the cun o of tho Y, w hero
Kuno was stationed at a point whero ho could
seo and be been by both bullh an and Nolan.
Kane naa declared no nun repeated tno reel
signal to bullh an, but tho luttcr protested that
ho only saw the w bite light and so repented to
Henslcr. Mr. Lcgge would not concede that
tho arrangements wcro faulty, but admitted
that an clcated station where ono man could
liavo n clear view of all signals, and whoso
own signals could bo seen by all tho Hag and
signal men, w ould jiosslbly be an lmpro cinent.
Cnllahun Kane, a short, small man of about
"5 j cars, wus found at his pot of duty, at tho
H street crossing.
"Did I give tho right light? Why, of courso
I did. I gave the whlto' to Nolan nnd tho
'red' to bulllvan: that's what I did, nnd tho
man thutsajs I did not won't say It to mo.
When I had given the 'while' to Nolan und
tho 'red' to Sullivan ut Delawaro avenue
and I street, right on tho edgo of tho Y, I ran
back here ugalu, and Just as I got heio I heard
tho crash. That's all about it, and no ono can
say anj thing cUu and speak tho truth."
Ho spoke with a strong Irish accent, nnd
seemed Indignant that any ouu should havo a
doubt that ho had done his duty.
John SulUv an w as In bed and refused to say
moro than that he first got tho w hlto signal
Irom Kano and afterward, beng doubtful
about tho correctness of the momentary flash,
sent a boy to tho comer of I street to look at
Nolan's light, and on tho messenger shouting
back "red," ho d!plaod his own danger

iNDiANAroLts, July 13. A largely-attended
democratio meeting, to ratify the nominations
of Cleveland nud Hendricks, was held hero
last night. Messrs. Hendricks nud McDonald
wero escorted to thu placo of speaking by a
political organization, known as tho "Auto
crats." Tho mooting was called to order by
Austin II. Brown, and William H, Kugllsh was
mado chairman, Mr. Hendricks was rccolved
with n burst of enthusiasm, which seemed to
lnsplro him.
After reft rrlng to tho democratio com entlon,
its composition, and Its work, Mr. Hendricks
said:
It selected two men to carry the banner, and
leaving that convention and going out beforo
thu people, tho question Is: "Will 5 oil help
curry uiu nuiincri lureui vueurs, aiiu i-riei
or "Wu will do It." I do not expect. I havo
no right to expect, that I w 111 cscapo tho criti
cism, nnd, It may bo the slander, of the opio
elto party. I have not in my life suflered cry
much from that, but I como beforo you, demo
crats, conservatives, independents, nud all
men who wish to restore the government to
tne position it occupied before these corrupt
times, mid to all such men I mako my appeal
for v our support for tho high oilico to which I
havo been nominated by tho democracy at
Chicago. Great cheers.
He then relcrred to thu recent Investigations
by tho houso committees, nnd said :
Do j on think that men In this ago never
yield to tcmptatlonT Laughter. It Is only
two weeks no that ono of the secretaries ut
Washington vv as called boforu the scuutu com-
mlttuo to testily In regard to tho condition of
his department; Iu that department wits tho
bureau of mcdlclno mid surgery. Iu thut de
partment an examination w as being had by
tho commlttco from tho sennte, and it was as
certained by the oath of tho secretary that sits
at tho head of tho department that the defal
cation found during tho last sear, as far us It
had been estimated, vras Sbj,0u0, and when
asked about It ho said that ho hud received n
letter a vuir ago Informing hlui of somo of
these outrages, and that a short tlmo sinco
somebody hnd come to him nnd told him that
thero wero frauds going ou lu thu service, but
that members of congress had recommended
tho cnutlnuanco of the headol tho bureau with
such earnestness that ho thought It must bo all
right. And now it turns out tbat tho public Is
S.1,000 out, and how much moru no man, 1 ex
pect, can now tell.
After referring to tho numerous reforms
in Now Y'ork mado by Gov. Cleveland,
hu continued! Do vou not. nil of vou demo
crats and republicans, bcllevo that tho nUutrs
ottlio gov eminent hav o been long enough In
tho hands of ono set of men? Cries ot "Wo
do." And do vou not bcllevo that wo havo
readied n period w hen thero ought to bo n
change? ICrles of "Wo do" nnd "Wo will
have it." Of tho 120,000 men that now fill
otllclal positions In tho country, wo hav ono
right lo supposo Irom all thut has taken placo
that they nro all honest cheers and laughter,
and tho only vv ay that vv o can know Is to mako
n change.
Ho said. In conclusion, that reform was
w rlttcn uiwn cv ery democratic banner It vv as
written uiHin tho democratio biinucr eight
ears ago, nnd Tlldeu and Hendricks carried
that banner. Cheers ltclorm was defeated
bv defeating thu right of tho pcoplo to elect
their own rulers cheers, and what Is tho
conseqiienco There has been no reduction
of public expenditures, although tho war was
nil tho whllo passing further aud further away
from us. bl 111 this republican party makes uo
reduction in tho public expenditures. Shall
wo have It? Shall we havo cheap govern
ment? bhall wo havo lower tuxus? They
tell us that the crov eminent can bo well car
ried on for SlOO.ouqOO less n yoar than Is now
collected from tho public. It Cloveland shall
coino into tho presidential otllce, I believe ho
will bring tho expenditures down to tho last
dollar that will ' support the government
economically administered cheers!, aud then
when ho does that ho will havo accomplished
what Gen. Jackson snld was tho duty of
cviry government.
A government has not tho right to collect ft
dollar from tho neonlo cxcLiit what Is neces
sary to meet tho publla service. Cheers and
cries oi "inat is rigui. j vviiaievera govern
ment needs It has u right to come to me, to ou,
or all ot us, mid mako us pay tor It; but when
It gets all that It needs for economical admin
istration It has not tho right to tnke another
slxpenco out of our pockets, and that Is nil vro
nsk. When this ticket shall wave In triumph
that Idea will bo established in this country.
Cheers 1
At tbo close of Mr. Hendricks s speech ex
Senator McDonald was Introduced und spoko
briefly. Ho was lollowed by local speakers,
aud after tho ciecc'lica wcro concluded tho
meeting adjourned.
