Terrible Railway Accident.
City of Mexico, June 21. A terrible
railway accident occurred on the road
between this city and Vera Cruz yester
day in which a passenger train loaded
witli troops was thrown over a bridge
and over two hundred people killed
outright or burned to death.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
City of Mexico, June 24. Another ac
count says: A list of 17 officers and
197 privates were hilled which does not
include railroad officials and employes
or the women and childten of soldiers.
Only sixty persons in all were saved
alive and of these forty or more were
more or less injured. For a moment
after the plunge of the cars from the
bridge all was darkness. Suddenly one
hundred barrels of brandy loaded
on two vans caught lire and the burning
Huid inundated the mass of passengers
struggling in the ruins. Only a few
not disabled or hopelessly wedged in
the timbers, escaped. The dead and
living were wraped in a sheet of (lames
and slowly burned defore the eyes of
the survivors who were unable to save
them.

liaMsa Catclien Another Severe llorm
Wichita, Ks., June 27. One of the
heaviest rain and wrind storms accom
panied by hail passed over this section
last Friday night ever known. Five
inches of water fell during the night
and reports which have since come in
say a section of country ten miles wide
and twenty miles long'in the Arkansas
Valley west of here suffered very great
damage. Thousands of acres of wheat,
corn and oats were cut down level with
the ground by the hail and even prairie
grass was mown smooth. Orchards
were stripped of their fruit. The wheat
just stacked was soaked through and
through and many buildings were seri
ously injured. Only one death is re
ported, that of E. Pendergast who was
killed by lightning while standing at a
window in his house.
Another storm nearly as severe swept
this section Saturday night and did con
siderable additional damage.

San Francisco, June 27. The steam
er Newberg brings the crew of the
schooner Enstace from Mazatlan and
particulars of the killing of the captain
and firing of the vessel by a maniac
cook. Cook who had shown signs of
insanity suddenly stabbed the captain
as he entered the cabin. lie then ran
into a closet where; axes were kept. The
crew closed the cabin doors. The cook
continued walking about the cabin and
several times threatened to fire the ves
sel. The crew got boats ready and soon
after smoke began rising from the cabin
and the crew left hastily as the vessel
had 2,iit)0 kegs of powder on board.
Soon after she blew up. The maniac
undoubtedly perished in the explosion.
The crew reached Mazatlan after a six
teen mile pull in a heavy sea.
Murder and Kubbery.
San Francisco, June 27. A Jackson,
Amador county dispatch says: About
three o'clock Saturday morning Ezra
Degarmo was murdered in the Grass Val
ley hydraulic mining claim near Volca
na. lie was watchman on the claim
and was armed with a shot gun. The
body was found lying on a sluice box,
penetrated by two balls. Both barrels
of his gun were discharged. The rob
bers cleared up some sixty feet of boxes
but how much amalgam they obtained
is unknown. Four men have been ar
rested on suspicion.
Fatal Pistol Accident.
Lariniie City, Juno 27. Yesterday
morning about eight o'clock while Rob
ert Wilkins, was examining a self
cocking revolver in one of the rooms of
t he Custer House the weapon was dis
charged, killing a man named Stroh
almost instantly. The coroner's jury
acquitted Wilkins of all blame. The
deceased was unmarried, about twenty
five years of age, a nativo of Pittstol,
Pa. The body has been taken charge
of by the Odd Fellows.

New York, June 27. A Texaa special
says a number of Lasalle county horse
thrives were overtaken at F'ordillio yes
terday by citizens, and a fierce fight en

AnvaxHination.
Little Rock, June 27. James Ander
son was murdered in his field while
plowing. His homesteading of some
land is supposed to be the cause.
The Stalwart leaders.
New York, June 27. The Tribune
says: Ex-Senator Conkling was in
Washington yesterday and telegraphed
Piatt that he would reach this city this
afternoon. Piatt and Conkling will go
to Albany to-night lo continue their
hopeless' light for the Senatorship which
they resigned. Vice-President Arthur
will also return to the State capital to
assist in any way he may direct.
Relations between Piatt and Vice
President Arthur have notbeen cordial
since Piatt defeated Crowley in the
race for the Senatorship last winter.
There is also stalwart authority for
stating that Conkling and Piatt are not
so cordial in their relations in a public
light as is supposed. They frequently
go to Albany on trains only a few hours
apart -and return t ho same way, appar
ently without purpose, not being thrown
together any more than is necessary.
A friend oí Conkling said yesterday
that the Ex-Senator depended greatly
upon the Vice-President' s assistance and
very little upon anything Piatt might
do.
GOING BACK ON TLATT.
It appears that Vice-President Ar
thur charges the downfall of the ma
chine to Piatt. He says Piatt, to make
sure of the defeat of Crowley to the
Senate last winter and to secure his
own election entered into an agreement
with administration Republicans to sup
port Judge Robertson for any office to
which the President might nominate
him. This was made known to the
President and General Arthur is under
stood to have said that without this
agreement Judge Robertson -would not
have been nominated Collector till the
question had been discussed with Conk
ing who would not then have felt called
upon to resign. Ex-Senator Conkling
now, it is said, begins to view this mat
ter in the same light as the Vice-President.
There are rumors of a growing
willingness on his part to attempt to
make Piatt a scapegoat .
GROWING OPPOSITION TO COKNELL.
There is a growing opposition mani
fested by the Stalwarts toward Gover
nor Cornell, a distinguished member of
this wing of the parly said yesterday,
and there is no disguising the fact that
the Governor does not loger sympa
thize, with Conkling. He refused to at
tend or to confer further at any meeting
at which Cokling made his anti-monopoly
speech. The Governor is a candi
date for the long 1erm. Conkling,
however, has ceased to .place any confi
dence in the Governor.
don't kxpkct ke-klection.
Conkling went to Washington ac
cording to one of his friends to attend
to some personal affairs, among other
things to surrender his rooms there
which he has been keeping since his
resignation. This friend said he only
hoped to throw the contest over to an
other legislature and thus be able to
return and dictate his successor.
tlatt's views.
Piatt said yesterday that Depew would
be out of the race this week, after which
the legislature would adjourn without
electing anyone. He made a similar
prophecy a week ago.
THREE 11RIBEKY COMMITTEE REPORTS.
A member of the committee which in
vestigated Bradley's charges against
Senator Sessions said there wouldprob
ably three reports made, one by Conk
ling members of the committe, one by
administration Republicans and one by
the Stalwarts. The last two reports he
believed would not differ but the Stal
wart report he believed would be a
stinger for Depew.
Piatt seemed to this report would end
Depew' s canvass in the same way as he
thought the original charge would end
it. If it does not have any more effect
than the charges it will probably in
crease Depew s vote.. Ex-Senator Conk
ling gives personal uti'fntion to the
preparation of the report.
Senator Strahan was the only repub
lican who called on Piatt yesterday. He
has acquired unpleasant notoriety since
Davenport's testimony and his friends
are threatening revenge on Davenport
on account of it.

BIG BILLIARD MATCH.
Paris, June 27. The four handed bil
liard match at cushion caroms between
Vigneaux and Garvier against Piot and
Slosson for a purse of 5,000 francs, six
hundred points, was commenced this
afternoon at Cirinque de Hevere.
Judging from the frequent outbursts of
applause which greeted the play the
new game promised to surpass all oth
ers in interest, although two or three of
the leading players do not favor it. The
game was played on a 4x9
toot table. The game commenced at
half past two and at half past five, at
the close of the score, it stood Vigneaux
and Garvier, 300; Slosson and Piot, 224.
Of these aggregates each man' s score
was as follows: Vigneaux 103, Garvier
197, Piot 120. Slosson 104. The highest
runs were Vigneaux 15, 17 and 20, Gar
vier 10, Piot 11, Slosson 13. The early
part of the game Vigneaux played in
differently, hut later on he displayed all
his best qualities. Piot who has a great
reputation on this side as a great cush
ion player, did not come up to the an-.
ticipations of his friends as will be seen
by the score. The play was resumed at
half past eight in the evening and the
game did not close until past midnight.
The score at the close stood thus: Vig
neaux and Garvier, 600; Piot and Slos
son, 577. Of these aggregates each
player scored individually as follows:
Vigneaux 373, Garvier 227, Piot 270,
Slosson 25)8. The highest runs were
Vigneaux 2.r, Garvier 10, Piot 14, Slos
son 22. The total numbers of innings
was DH for each player. The evenings
attendance was very large and great in
terest manifested in the result.

MEUKOFK'S 15AI GOVERNMENT.
A Times' St. Petersburg special says
the endeavor of the present govern
ment is to show that the niild poiicy of
the lat e government was eminently dan
gerous. The police are, now engaged in
bringing to light the danger which ac
cumulated during General Melikoffs
rule. Reactionists are making the most
of the discovery of dynamite mines in
order to frighten the court and secure
their own position. Some inspectors
seem to have been excited by the visit of
Melikoff to Geneva. It is reported that
police and spies have been retained to
watch him.
RESTRICTING NEWSPAPERS.
St. Petersburg, June 27. The news
paper press is hooted at the court be
cause not a single independent organ
favors the present government. Severe
penalties have lately been imposed upon
three or four journals and several edi
tors have received circular ordering
them to submit the first proofs of their
papers to the press censor before four
o'clock in the morning.
1P.ISH IRE.
London, June 27. In the House of
Commons to-day, in consequence of the
answer from the Chief Secretary for Ire
land in regard to a proclamation of
Waterford, O'Donnell, Homertile mem
ber of the House, then moved an imme
diate adjournment. An Irish member
denounced the proclamation as unjust
and a cowardly abuse of the powers
granted the government, and said that
the reason of the proclamation of Wat
erford was that the Duke of Devon
shire owned 30,000 acres of land in that
county, and it was desired to enable his
agents to imprison troublesome per
sons. Another speaker described Fors
ter as Brummagon Castleragh. Par
nell said Forster liad persevered in his

on the 16th inst, at a point on the Colo

Work is being done on both sides of the
river and a bridge crossing is evidently
being located. It would seem not to be
a good one as there will be at least a.
mile of piling and trestle work required
on the Arizona side. The party is in
charge of Civil Engineer Bates, and
went up the river from this place on the
last trip of the Mohave. The workmen
were seemingly very desirous of keep
ing their business secret, representing
themselves to the captain of and passen
gers on the steamer as prospectors.

The great comet of 1807 is thought to
be that which recently put in an ap

comet excited much interest among
scientists and not a little alarm among
the superstitious. There is no satis
factory record of its discovery, but both
Bissell and Herschel observed its orbit
and made various calculations. The
diameter of its nucleus as measured by
Hershel was found to be 588 miles. It
was taken to be periodic, and Bissell,
the eminent German astronomer, caen
