but an earnest of what is coming. A few’

against the East on the subjeci of the
tariff, maintaining that the Eastern States
get the benefit of protection and
the Western States get^its burden.
Now if the tariff for protection
so operates, that one section gets
a gain and the other gets a loss, then
whose system of protection ought to be
abolished? And if the advocates of the
protective tariffcaunot prove that it is of
as great advantage to the West as to the

Chicago, Oct. 11.—Mayor Roche held a
short conference this morning with a com
mittee of street car strikers, and fouud
them disposed to compromise. He then
held one lasting several hours, with Presi
dent Yerkesot the Street Car syndicate,
but could make nothing out of him.
Presidential contest, the most important
| since that of 1800. Mr. Cleveland, by his
message, for which 1 sincerely honor him,
has challenged the protected industries of
the country to a fight of extermination.
Men who are accumulating immense for
tunes under the present law, are deter
mined to defeat Mr. Cleveland if money
and industry will accomplish it. It is
useless to disguise tne fact that the fight
is to death, and we would be idiots to ig
nore that fact.”
Mr. Vest added that any man who did
not appreciate the differences between a
letter written under the circumstances un
der which that letter was written and one
written to be submitted to the fierce criti
cism of political opponents, would have
no further explanation from nim. What
he had wanted, and what that letter fair
ly construed did say, was that the issue
was between the principle of absolute
and unlimited protection, which he
understood the Republiceu party to advo
cate, and the position of the Democratic
party, which was the raising ot revenue
from taxes properly adjusted, and that on
that issue tne fight was to the death.
Mr. Vest also complained of a small
hand bill misrepresenting his letter, and
printing it iu this way: “Air. Cleveland by
his message, for which I sin
cerely honor him, has challenged
the protected interests of the country to a
war of extermination. The fight is to the
death.” The man or men who did this, aud
who took two entirely distinct and sepa
rate portions of his letter aud put them
together, leaving oat the intermediate
and explanatory sentences, would dis
grace the striped clothes of the peniten
tiary.
Mr. Cullom remarked that the explana
tion made tne matter no better. There
was no mistaking the fact that the Senator
from Alissouri said that the President had
challenged the protected industries to a
fight for extermination.
Mr. Vest—The President inis made fcis
own statement. Why not criticise that?
Mr. Cullom—I have done so.
At the close of Culloms speech, Mr.
Platt addreseed the Senate iu favor of the
Senate bill. He argued that in the civil
war the real controversy, was between
protection and free trade, and in support
of that idea, lie read various extracts from
editorials in the New York Herald in 1861.
“That war,” he said “was a conspiracy
against Northern labor, aud it
was the Northern labor system
which iu defending itself had preserved
the nation in tact. It might have been
supposed that free trade surrendered at
Appomatox, but it had not; free trade
doctrine had two classes of supporteis at
the North. There were the doctrinals,
professors of colleges, who knew nothing
whatever of practical economy, and spoils
men who sought by adhesion to the free
fortunes trade of the solid South to get
office for ihemselres and their friends.

Whereas, difficluties have arisen be

therefore, the citizens are requested not to

was about twelve inches wide, ten feet
long and eight feet deep, the bottom aud
sides being solid rock, and completely iso

basin. In the water were found numerous
fish and frogs, which differed from the
ordinary species in that they had no eye*.
From tue surroundings, it would seem that
the fish aud frogs had lived there thousands
of years. Several places iu these quarries
show traces of volcanic action.
terrible loss of life in case of a wreck.
Throughout the night the depot was
thronged by hundreds of persons, suffer
ing untold agony over the uncertainty.
The throng was loud iu its denunciation of
the company lor refusing all information
and causing so much needless sufleriug. At
3:30 a. m., the report was in circulation
that arrangements had been made for the
receipt of a large number ot the wounded
at the hospital. The rumor was soon con
firmed, the officials were expecting 25 of
the victims.
With such a list of wounded corning in
this direction, the public pulse stood still
over the horrible possibilities, and thou
sands of fainting hearts quivered in dread.
Alany persons wanted to go to the scene
of the disaster and endeavored to charter
a locomotive. Rev. Father Moylan, of
Scranton, offered to pay cash for any ex
pense in that direction, but the favor could
not be obtained, owing to the absence of
Superintendent Alitchell at the wreck.
Many persons, after waiting during the
long, weary hours from 10 to 3 in the morn
ing, took the south bound train, which
passed here at 3:10, and went to the scene
of the appalling disaster.
It was there learned tnat the third sec
tion of the excursion train had stood on
the track a few hundred yards from Mud
Run, waiting for the sections ahead to go
out of the way. The flagman, some say,
had been sent back with a lantern to guard
the train from the rear.
Suddenly the passengers in the rear saw
a train approaching at a high rate of
speed. Several of these passengers who
saw the danger, jumped and escaped. In
an instant the flash of the headlight illu
minated the interior of the ill fated rear
coach. There was a frightful crash; the
engine plunged her full length into the
crowded mass of humanity. The shock
drove the rear car through the next one
for two-thirds of its length, and the second
car was forced into the third.
Not a single person escaped from the
rear car. The second was crowded with
maimed and bleeding bodies, and the
third car had but few passengers who es
caped uninjured, but the terror-stricken
passengers of both trains made their way
out of the cars, and on going to the tele
scoped engine and cars, where the full
horror of the terrible disaster dawned
upon them. The shattered engine was
pouring forth streams of scalding steam
and water, which hid from their eyes, the
fuilest measure of the horrible scene, while
its hissing sound drowned the shrieks and
groans of those imprisoned in the wreck.
Ghastly white faces peeped into the win
dows to be greeted by faces far more ghast
ly. Some of the dead sat pioioned in their
seats, erect as in life, staring, open eyed as
if aware of the horrible surrounding.
As the steam and smoke cleared away
from the rear car, its awful sights were re
vealed. Timbers were crushed and
wrenched, while on all sides hung mangled
bodies aud limbs. The few bodies which
were not mangled, were burned and scalded
by the steam, and little remained in car
which bore human resmblance.
When the sho.-kof the first crash had,
in a measure, subsided, the uninjured be
gan to do what could be done for their
unfortunate companions. The few slight
tools on the train were called into requi
sition, but proved feeble instruents indeed.
The St. Francis pioneer corns, who were
on the train, plied with zeal the broad
axes which were meant for holiday occa
sions. They were, however, but little
adapted to the work, and were soon ren
dered useless. .In the meantime the w.n-
dows of the cars were smashtd in and
brave men entered and released those
least hurt, or least entangled.
In one car they found John Lynch, of
Wilkesbarre, hanging from the roof by one
leg. His cries brought a friend, who, to re
lieve his suffering, stood upon the wreck
age and held his weight upon their backs
uuHI he was released from his terrible
position. A young lady was found caught
by the lower limbs. One of her limbs was
quickly released, but the other couid not
funeral cars, but Were again refused, it be
ing alleged that no one had the keys.
Several who were in search of missing
friends became desperate, and soon broke
down the car doors and began a frantic
search for their loved ones. The clothes
were torn from the mangled and scalded
bodies, revealing the gay uniforms of the
St. AIojaius men, cadets aud other mem

A press dispatch from Fittsbui
taing t’ie following information in
to the Knight* of Imbor:
The letter of T. B. Barry resigning from
the Execu’ive Board of' the Knights of
Labor hit* created great axcitemant here.
It ha* loosened the tongues of the leaders
of the order and they are talking with a
vim and freedom quite unusual. As al
ready known, the letter was received in
Philadelphia ou Saturday, bar no action
will be taken until next meeting of the
board.
It will be a difficult matter to ootnin a
quorum then to tike action on the mat
ter, as but few members ars left. Tuere is
no provision, a* far a* could be learned
from member- ot the order sp,>ken to re
garding the tilling of vacancies on the
general Executive Board. The onlv sec
tion tnat could he found in the const Ra
tion was No. 343, which provides thai the
Master Workman of local, |di*tnct. na
tional, trade or Slate assemblies can fill
vacancies or the Executives Boa-vis of such
bodies.
Homer L McOaw, ex-Master Workman
of I). A. 3, and who ha* held the position
of delegate to the General Assembly for
years, agrees with Barry in some of his
statements. He does not believe the order
will die within a year, but says the mem
bership has fallen off considerably within
the past two year*. The spy system
adopted at Richmond in the interests of
the administration, he says, is correctly
criticised, and he knows of “men who
have been made intoxicated by these spies
for a purpose.”
Sam Lefflngwell, one of the victims, it is
claimed, belongs to Indianapolis, and i*
stumping the State of Indiana in the inter
est of the Democratic ticket, one of his ob
jects being to show up Litohman. the ox-
general secretary, and General Master
Workman Powderly, who have been fast
friends for years, but McGawsays not now.
This, however, is evident from the inter
views and communications published
who has returned from Philadelphia, says
he was furnished with some interesting
data on the membership of the order. He
does not desire the facts published, but the
figures date from the Genera! Assembly at
Hamilton, Out., in 1SS5. At Ham
ilton. Oat., in 1885, the membership
was 543.262; at Richmond, 1886, about
about the depot and the guards kept the
immense throng back. The shrieks and
screams of stricken friends aud relatives
were pitiful in the extreme. The first

The story of the disaster as told by an
official is as follows: Eighty-seven car
loads of people attended the parade at
Hazelton from Wilkesbarre, Scranton, Car-
bondale and other places. There were
eight sections of the train, and these fol
lowed passenger train No. 52, with orders
to run ten minutes apart. These orders
were also delivered to the telegraph ope
rators at all signal stations. The
seventh section came to Mud Run
ahead of time, and was stopped
until the ten minutes expired. The danger
signal was displayed at the station, and
the rear brakemen were sent back as au
additional protection.
Section No. 7 laid a short distance be
yond the station No. 8 came thundering
along and the brakeman gave the engineer
a signal to stop. He failed to heed it and
dashed by the signal. The train plunged
on and disregarded the signal.
At the station an awful disaster followed.
The last train was filled with people from
ThelNew York Herald further remarks
on the same suoject:
“What can it mean?" was the expression
upon the lips of hundreds ot Knights of
Labor when they read in the Herald yes
terday that Thomas B. Barry, late of the
General Executive Board of the orderwas
going to tell in an open mass meeting the
cause of “the dry rot in the order,” aud
“why its membership haa fallen from
702,000 members to 250,000 in two years,"
and that Miciiael Breslin, once a trusted
niwmoer of the “Home Club,” intended to
expose its secrets.
ouch a meeting as the above was never
dreamed of before in the history of the
order, and no wonder its members ex
claimed, “W nat can it mean?” The meet
ing will take place to-morrow night at
Cooper Union, and the greatest interest is
manifested in what tne nature of the
speech will be.
It leaked out last night that the meet
