The great topic of conversation in Co
lumbus yesterday was the railroad acci
dent on the Columbus and Western road
on Saturday night. The catastrophe was
pronounced the greatest of the kind, in
this vicinity, since the late war. The fact
that any one of the number escaped death
was pronounced miraculous. That a mon
ster engine and sixteen heavily laden
freiget cars should crash through a trestle,
sixty-three feet high, and that of the seveD
rneu on board five escaped a violent death,
is considered owing entirely to divine in
terposition. The record is one perhaps,
never equaled in similar circumstances.
Further particulars of the accident were
learned yesterday morning. The engine

Birmingham, Oct. L—At Village
Springs, twenty-three miles from this city,
to-day, 250 negroes employed laying track
on the Huntsville extension of the Bir
mingham Mineral Railroad, struck for
higher wages. They were receiving $1.25
per day and demanded $1.50, which was
refused.
Many of the negroes wore armed, and
they made threats and ♦aised quite a dis
turbance. Superintendent Metcalf, who
was on J,he scene, telegraphed to the
sheriff for assistance, ana half a dozen
armed deputies went up on an engine. At
the sight of the officers the armed negroes
scattered to the woods, and later in the
day the others returned to work at the old
price.
The officers are still on the ground, but
no trouble is feared.
PELTED WITH ROTTEN EGGS.
The Reception That whk Tendered Senator
Itlalr In Charlottesville Yesterday.
Staunton, Oct. 1.— By invitation,
Senator H. \fr. Blair, of Now Hampshire,
addressed the Republicans of Albermarle
county at Charlottesville to-day. In his
opening remarks, he referred to Jefferson
as the author of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, which was as imperishable as
time, and congratulated the people of
Albermarle and Virginia, that they had a
heritage of such a character. From this,
he proceeded to the tarifl’ question.
As he commenced its discussion, he was
greeted with four rotten eggs in rapid suc
cession, by a man in the audience. Great
excitement followed, and the guilty party
was arrested.
Mr. Blair made a dignified reference to
the outrage, and then proceeded w’ith his
speech. The citizens generally denounced
tne act, and a general feeling of indigna
tion was manifested.
train
At 7:30 o’clock it was announced that
the train would be one hour late. The
train passed Salem at 7:50 o’clock, but was
moving slowly from the fact that several
of the wounded men were on board.
The depot was crowded with colored
people. Anxiety was intense as to
the safety of the passenger train. At 10
o’clock alarm was general, bat it was
announced that the train was waiting at
Smith’s Station for a freight to pass. The
freight was ordered stopped, bht there was
no telegraphic communication. At 12
o’clock the train whistled across the river
and the anxiety of the now small crowd
was quieted. In a few minutes the train
steamed in and those present surged
around it.
Drs. Grimes and Walker were among
the first to step out. They said that
Messrs. Hall and Phillips wore doing well,
but both were left behind at tne Pope
that item was now in conference oetween
the two houses.
Mr. Delph remarked that that was not
the only matter suggested for legislation in
the message. It also recommended, he
said, immediate legislation authorizing the

their way with certificates. He regarded

THE LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE.
The experience of blending the social
habits and race idiosincracies of the
Chinese laboring classes with those of the
great body of the people of the United
States has been proved bv an experience of
twenty years, and ever since the Burti-
zami treaty of 1868, to be in every sense
unwise, impolitic and injurious to both
nations. With the lapse of time
necessary tor its abandonment, it
has grown in force until those hav
ing in charge the government of
the respective countries have resolved to

the non-residence of the plaintiff, whose
claim can be enforced in the usual way by
him, or his aaignee or attorney, in our
courts of justice. In this respect it
cannot be alledged that there exists
tbi slightest discrimination against
Chinese subjects, and it is a notable fact
that the large trading firms and compa
nies, and individual merchants and traders
of that nation, are profitably e.-tablished at
numerous points tnroughout the union, in
whose baud* every claim transmitted by
an absent Chinaman, of a just aud lawful
nature, could be completely enforced.
THE HARMFUL MUST BE EXCLUDED.
The admitted and paramount right and
duty of every Government to exclude from
its borders all elements of foreign popula
tion which, for aay reason, retard its
prosperity or are detrimental to the moral
and physical health of its people, must be
regarded as a recognized canon of inter
national law and intercourse, and Chiua,

This cooperation has not, however,
been accorded the United States. Thus
Rainy was suffering from concussion of
the brain and the shock.
The body of John Lunceford, who died
of his injuries was brought in by the
freight train a few minutes later.
A reporter called at the residence of En
gineer Keene, 1018 Third avenne, yester
day afternoon. The engineer passed a
restless night. He complained of feeling
very sore and stiff. His family remained
up all night and Dr. Mason remained in
constant attendance. Everything possible
was done to relieve him. As
should be marked “confidential.”
Mr. Cockrell objected to the immediate
consideration of the resolution and it went
over till to-morrow. The Senate then
took up as “unfinished business” the Sen
ate bill reported from the Committee on
Public Lands on August 30 restoring to the
United States certain of lands granted to
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
and was addressed by Mr. Berry.
Mr. Plumb replied to Mr. Berry and the
debate was wholly between these Senators,
and was entirely political, turning upon
morning approached he rested easier. Some I L* 16 Policy, of the Democratic and
intimate friends were then admitted to his | Republican administrations and upon the
room, the doctor allowing him to converse
a little. The engineer briefly related the
circumstances of the disaster and his terri
ble experience of the fatal night. The
crash was earthquake-like, but with a pe
culiar presence of mind he jumped through
the cab window. How many feet he fell
he did not know,in a few seconds he ascer
tained he was ankle deep in the Wild Cat
creek. He at once, on hands and feet,
crawled underneath the debris and sought
for his friend Charlie Webster. Groping
in the dark, he felt some one wedged be
tween the wheels and the parallel rods.
He shook the hand and enquired
“How are you, Charlie?” but hearing no
reply, guessed the truth and, climbing the
bank, ran towards Goodwater.
The remainder of the disaster has been
related.
At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon the en
gineer was resting quietly. At 6 o’clock
he awoke from a slumber aud cheerfully
conversed with his friends.
On motion of Mr. Dolph, the House bill
on the same subject was substituted for the
Senate bill, and then Mr. Dolph offered the
Senate bill as a substitute for the House
bill, the object and effect being the pas
sage of the House bill, with an amend
ment. Pending the action on this motion
the bill went over until to-morrow as “un
finished business.”
On motion of Mr. Call, the Senate bill
granting the right of way through the
naval and military reservations near Pen-
socola, Fla., to the Pensacola and Mem
phis Railroad company was taken from
the calendar and passed.
The Senate then proceeded to executive

A REVIVAL IN BROWNEVILLE.

Crowds—Many Professing Religion.
Another Untrue Report.
Selma,Oct. 1.—Reports having been sent
out on Sunday from this city to a certain
newspaper that a negro died of black vom
it ou Sunday morning, it is proper to state
that the report is entirely without founda
tion. The negro died in East Selma from
a hemorrhage of the lungs without the
slightest appearance or symptioms of yel-
iae
low fever, and had been under treatment
for the disease which caused his death.
The County Health Officers after au exam
ination reported the facts as given.
(IrtHeken Had Permission.
Berlin, Oct. 1.—Prcf. Geffieken, who
was arrested for violating State secrets in
furnishing the Deutsche Rundschau with
extracts from Emperor Frederick's diary,
states that he had the Emperor’s permis
sion to publish the diary three months
after his death.
Rev. Henry T. Johnston has been preach
ing at Trinity church for several days, and
if the interest in the meeting continues,
may remain during this week. The con
gregations were very large on Sunday.
Nine hundred people were crowded into
the church at night. Many had to stand
for want of seats, although extra seats
had been put in, and the kneeling cushions
and pulpit steps were occupied. Many
more returned to their homes because the
house could accommodate no more. Two
hundred and fifty-three persons asked for
prayer.
Mr. Johnson is a young man, but al
ready has quite a reputation as a revival
preacher throughout Alabama. Rev. J. B.
Culpepper, who is well known about Co
lumbus, has a very high appreciation of
Mr. Johnson’s gifts, and tried to get him
to accompany him in his evangelistic tour
Texas and Arkansas.
In the absence of the Speaker, Mr. Mc
Creary, of Kentucky, occupied the chair
as Speaker pro tem of the House to-day.
Mr. Lawler, of Illinois, obtained consent
to withdaw from the files of the
House the bill introduced by him some
time ago by request to amend the Inter
state Commerce law so as to prohibit a
common carrier from transporting any
commodity for any shipper in a car owned,
leased, or in any way controlled by such
shipper.
The following bills were introduced and
refarred:

THE CO VFEREE8 DISAGREE.
The Deficiency Bill Cannot he Settled—The
Committee will Look into the Aqueduct, |
Washington. Oct. 1.—The conferees on
the general deficiency bill have disagreed
in regard to four items of the bill, as fol
lows: Providing for the payment of the
balance of the year’s salary to the family
of Chief Justice Waite; extending the
laws of the L T nited States over Nc Man’s-
Lind; providing for the payment of a
year’s salary to the widow of La Fayette
Dancy, an officer of the Internal Revenue,
who lost his life by yellow fever while en
gaged in the discharge of his duty, and the
Senate amendment to make a provision
for the Woman’s Industrial Christian
Home, of Utah.
The iast named is the principal point of
controversy yet remaining. The buildings
for the homewere begun under an appropri
ation made last year, and the Senate pro
posed that the work shall be continued
under the original plans. The House con
ferees oppose this, and advocate the trans
fer of the bnilding to the Treasury Depart
ment. The conferees have agreed to an
appropriation of $276,619.75 to pay the
Chinese Government in full of all claim*
for damages to its subjects, or
their property, up to this time.
A supplemental schedule of the soldiers,
claims for back pay and bounty, has been
agreed to, which makes the provision for
the payment of all claims audited down to
MERCENARY GREED PREVENTED
It was, however, soon made evident
that the mercenary greed of parties who
were trading in the labor of this class of
the Chinese populatjpn was proving too
strong for just execution of the law, and
that the virtual defeat of the object
and intent of both law and
I treaty was being fraudulently accomplish
ed by false pretense and perjury, contrary
to the expressed will of both Governments.
To such an extent has the successful vio
lation of the treaty and the laws enacted
for its execution progressed, that the
courts in the Pacific States have been for
sometime past overwhelmed by the exam
ination of Chinese laborers who are

Such a demonstration of an inoperative
and ineffectual condition of the treaty and
law has produced deep-seated and increas
ing discontent among the people of the
United States, and especially with those
resident on the Pacific coast. This has in
duced me to omit no effort to find an ef
fectual remedy for the evils complained of
and to answer the earnest popular demand
for the absolute exclusion of Chinese labor
ers, they having objects and purposes
unlike our own, and wholly discriminated
with American citizens.

CHINA UNDERSTANDS AND APPRECIATES.
Aided by the presence in this country
J of able and intelligent diplomatic and
consular officers of the Chinese Govern
ment and by representations made from
time to time by our Minister in China
under the instructions of the Department
of 3tatb, the actual conditiou of public
sentiment and the status of affairs iu the
United States has been fully made known
to the Government of China. The neces
sity for a remedy has been fully appre
ciated by that government, and, in August,
1886, our Minister at Pekin received from
the Chinese foreign office a communica
tion announcing that China, of her own
LOSSES BY FIRE.
accord, proposed to establish a system of
.a absolut
view, to which the Government of China
may justly be considered as pledged.
MODIFY IT A LITTLE BIT.
The facts and circumstances which I
have narrated lead me, in the perform
ance of what seems to me to be my offi
cial duty, to join Congress in dealing legis
latively with the question of the exclusion
of Chinese laborers in lieu of furtner at
tempts to adjust it by an international
agreement, but while thus exercising our
undoubted right in the interests of our peo
ple, and for the general welfare of our
country Justice andjfairness seem to require
that some provision should be made by
an act or joint resolution under which such
Chinese laborers as shall actually have em
barked on their return to the United States
before the passage of the iaw this day ap
proved, and are now on their way, may be
permitted to land provided they "have duly
and lawfully obtained and shall present
certificates heretofore issued permitting
them to return in accordance with the
provision of the existing law.
REMEMBER THE INDEMNITY.
Nor should our recourse to legislative
measures of exclusions cause us to retire
from the offer we have made to indemnify
such Chinese subjects as have suffered
damage through violence in remote and
comparitively unsettled portions of our
country at the hands of lawless men.
Therefore I recommend that, without
acknowledging a legal liability therefore,
but because it was stipulated in the treaty
which has failed to take effect, and in the
interest of humanity befitting our nation,
there be appropriated the sum of $276,000

all day, and knowleago of the fact has

was threatened with heart failure, so com

The Citizens Association to-day referred
to the Executive Committee the question
of asking the people throughout the

At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon the re
mains of Mr. Charles VYebster, one of the
victims of the railroad accident on Satur
day night, were interred. The funeral
services were held at the Episcopal church,
of which church he was a member. Rev.
W. C. Hunter, rector, conducted the
services.
The church was filled with his relatives
and friends. The deepest sympathy was
expressed for the afflicted parents and
family.
The following gentlemen acted as pall
bearers: Messrs. Charles Lawrence, Charles
F. Pekor, Charles Keene, J. L. Harris,
George Keene, William Hunter, Charles
H. Dillingham, Waller Cowdery and Louis
Abbott.
All the employes off the Central railroad
that could possibly be spared from duty
were present. After the services at the
I church the cortege again formed and pro-
demanded in behalf of the great body of
: tbe American people, and that the re
mainder of this session, or so much there
of as may be necessary, should be devoted
to the perfection of such legislation, and
all other legislative business except gen

should be subordinated until the purpose
of this resolution be attained.
The Speaker pro tem laid before the
House the message from the President an
nouncing his approval of the Chinese bill.
Its reading was attentively listened to, and
upon its conclusion, Mr. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, moved the reference of the
message to the Committee on Foreign Af

Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, ottered to

motion prevailed.

San Francisco, Oct. 1.—The news of
President Cleveland’s approval of the j
Chinese exclusion bill was received here
to-day with a marked degree of interest, i
Large crowds congregated around the j
newspaper bulletin boards and discussed i
the situation. The Chinese manifested
considerable excitement.
The principal subject of discussion here
is as to what effect the measure will have
upon the several thousand Chinese who
have arrived here within the past year
and landed by the Federal Courts upon
writs of habeas corpus, and are out on bail
awaiting examination, and also upon the
2000 and more Chinese who are how on
their way to this port.
About two hundred Chinese arrived here
Saturday on the steamer City of New
York. The Belgian iwill be due next
Thursday with eight hundred. Three
other steamers are nowon the Pacific with
over a thousand Celestials bound for this
port.
Collector of the Port, Haeger, expressed
hinuelf to-day as being doubtful of the
effectiveness of the bill. The present bill,
be said, is intended to exclude the

It is a material question whether the
refugee camp so tardily constructed can

date more than 1000 people. The fever
