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 NO QUORUM BARRICADE. FROM HEAfMJfARrERS.

The Executive Department has a regu lar and persistent visitor in the person of a Mrs. Hammond, formerly of Floyd Washington, Oct. 1.—Among the com- municacions presented to the Senate this morning was one from the Italian Minis ter at Wasoington, acknowledging with gratitude, on behalf of the people of Italy, the preamble and resolution of the Senate accepting the bust of Garibaldi, which was presented by the Italians of Washington.

Six Deputy Slmrlir* Pul an Armed Mob of Striker* to Precipitate Flight, 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 i&ndtft? of the Chinese laborers now on their way with certificates. He regarded •’erry : “Convalescents coming from Jack sonville, or other fever infected points, who arc out of danger of a relapse, may be discharged after a three day3 detention. Baggage is to receive the usual fumiga tion. If Posey is well enougn, order him 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 to Callahan, Florida.

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, herself, had uot di-sented from this doc trine, but has, by the expressions to which I have referred, led us coufideutly to rely upon such action ou her part iu co-opera tion with the United States, a* would eu- Decatuk.

I also think it would be also safe for north-bound trains to take on passengers here. [Signed] Jerome Cochrane, State Health Offier. Still in Jack*on. Jackson, Oct. 1.—Everything is quiet here aud people are cheerful. The State Board of Health deemed it best that thorns who are absent should remain away until it is safe for them to return, and as the city is still closely guarded, no one wiil be al lowed to go out and come in, and should any one evade the officer they will be sent as soon as apprehended to the refugee camp. To those that are nervous about mail* passing through, the city authorities would have it said that no one will be al lowed to get off the cars or Vo leave on them from the quarantine station. There are no new cases and the sick are all do ing well.

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 business, and at 4:20 adjourned. House, of Representatives. A REVIVAL IN BROWNEVILLE. Rev, Henry Johnson Draws Immense 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: By Mr. Dougherty, of Florida—To pre vent the introduction of contagious dis eases from one State into another; also, to establish a scientific bureau in Jackson ville, Fla., to gather facts iu relation to yellow fever, its origin and spread, and the best means of suppressing and pre venting it. 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 charged witK having entered our ports under frauduAt certificates of return or seeking to estlolish by perjury the claim of pi ior residence. THE PEOPLE DEMAND THE EXCLUSION. from the unexpected and disapoointing re- Chinese fusal of the Chinese Government to con firm the acts of its authorized ageutand to ! carry into effect an international agree ment, the main feature of which was vol untarily presented by that G ivernment for I our acceptance, and which had been the subject ot long and careful deliberation.

The mercury last night fell nearly to frost line. It is cool to-night, but frost be fore the last of October would break the record for the past sixteen years.

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.

His preach i: g here has shown a vein of humor that characterizes all the great evangelists, but he possesses also great strength of thought, earnestness, tenderness of feeling and spiritual power. He knows the human heart, and succeeds in getting people to understand themselves. He is trying to save souls, and his harshest utterances are baptized with the spirit of love. Before his conversion, Mr. Johnson was a carpenter by trade, and boss of a bridge building squad on the Louisville and Nashville railroad. He led a very wild life until his conversion, but has always been a great hearted, free and easy fellow, ready for a fight or frolic. His conversion has been the means of converting many.

Full powers are conferred upon the com mittee which is directed to report its pro ceedings, conclusions and recommenda tions before January 1,1889. 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 always has an injurious effect on every fever sick patient, even when they are comfortably housed and have most expe rienced and careful nursing. Col. J. J. Daniel has been lying at tbo point of death all day, and knowleago of the fact has caused universal gloom throughout the city. He seemed to have passed the crisis and slept naturally a good part of last * night, but early this morning he began to sink, and was threatened with heart failure, so com mon in yellow fever patients, when they seem to be almost ready to convalesce. The Citizens Association to-day referred to the Executive Committee the question of asking the people throughout the country to discontinue contributions. Up to date there has been received $236,867, the disbursements have been $74,478, leav ing a balance on hand of $162,389. The de mands of the indigent have steadily grown from $10,000 to $32,000 per week, but it is believed that they will now decrease, with. more stringent measures adopted to pro of those who Mr. Ben Fitzgerald Loses Six Mules—Col. Shepherd’s Gin House Burned. News came in from Stewart county yes terday morning of the burning of Mr. Ben Fitzgeraid’s stockade. Six valuable mules were burned to death. The cause of the fire could not be ascertained. Col. W. S. Shepherd’s gin house, at Florence, was burned Saturday night, to gether with ten bales of cotton and a large quantity of cotton seed. The origin of the fire is unknown. Col. Shepherd is in New York, and the amount of insurance on the property is not known. One insur ance agent in this city has $1,000 on the gin house.

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 eral appropriations and the tariff bills 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 fairs. Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, ottered to amend by referring tbe message to the Committee on Invalid Pensions. The amendment was rejected, and the original 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.

It is a material question whether the refugee camp so tardily constructed can now t*e filled. The camps now accommo date more than 1000 people. The fever has been in more than 1000 families, white aud colored, who arc left in the city, hence the disposition to go to refugee camps. Had these camps beon established prompt ly and been ready by the last of August, much sickness aud suffering and conse- qent expense and many lives would doubt less have been saved. Ett'orts to obtaia a relaxation of the quarantine at Camp perry, so as to allow convalescents to go further north to recuperate, have not been successful. NO NEW CASES IN OAINE3VILLE.
