also, much to the regret of the finance com

Wabuinoton, May 29.—Mr. Talmago
preached to an andience of ten tbonsand in
tho White lot this afternoon, nia texts
wero from First Chronicles, 12, xxxili:
“Fifty thousand which could keep rank;”
and Judges, 20, xvl: “Every one conld
sling stones at a hair breadth and not miss.”
Both passages combined, as said, teach ns
that if we must fight we ought to doit well.
His sermon was largely devoted to a com
parison between tho days of 'GO and tho
present. The Marine band, which led with
a voluntary, gave * sacred oonoert after the
sermon, and at five o’clock tho troops wero
brought on for dress parade. About a
tbonsand men were inj line. The weather
was fine, and everything combined to mako
np the most brilliant pageants cf
the entire encampment. It waB witnessed
by twenty-five thousand peoplo.
A rumor was in circulation to-night that
tho Ylcksbnrg Southrons had! withdrawn
from the dress parade this afternoon bn ac-
oonnt of the presence of a oolored company.
The report was cansed by tho fact that
tho Southrons withdrew from tho drill
grounds just before tho parado began. Ad-
jntant-General Carahan to-night authorized
a denial of the report, ana said that iho
Southrons wero in tho fourth battalion,
which was not to parade to-day, for the rea-
son-that there wero only two companies left
in tne battalion, they having been granted
separate privileges for Sunday. The bat
talion therefore bad been excused this
morning from appearing. The Vickbnrgs
had liven ordered last night to be ready for
the drees parade with their battalion this
afternoon, and bad reported accordingly.
When they discovered that their battalion
wonld not parade, they had aimpl,

from tho sco.e of the accident nt lforac
Shoe Bend, on tho Pennsylvania railroad,
state that eight woro killed and Bix injured.
Fonr were killed ontright and tho others
have since died. The Ill-fated train arrived
at the union depot in this city at 4:30 o'clock
this morning, with some eighty passengers
aboard. For fonr long hours a group of
anxions mortals paced up and aown tho
passago wnys, waiting i upationtly and ia
awf nl snspenso as to tho fate of their friends
who had taken passage on tho fast lino and
were expected to arrive in the city at 11:50
last night. Many wero the inquiries of tho
the depot officials regarding ton nature nf
the terrible aocident, wbictf all had board of,
but they could not or would not give par
ticulars. Every minnto seemed an honr
to the waiting crowd. When a shrill whis
tle at last signalled tho arrival of
tho wreoked train, ill eyes woro turned to
ward it. Almost tho first person to step
from tho train was a Miss McMahon, a
school toacher In Florida, who was on her
way home in Beaver Falla, this State. Miss
McMahon famished an account of the aw-
lui catnstropbo which overtook tho fast
line train. The story is best told in her
own words, as follows; “I was Billing
nbont tho middle ot the sooond coach from
tho engino. Tho train was running nt n
high rato of speed when tho accident hap
pened. The shock was terrific. I was
thrown violently against tho seat in front of
me. Tho train stopped suddenly. In a
minnte all was confusion, and I was at a
loss to know what had happened.
I soon beard shrieks from tho
passengers in tho coach in roar ot tho one
I was in, and I at once knew that something
awfnl had happened. I raised a window
and looked oat. The sight frightened me.
Tho entire sides of tho two coaches imme
diately in roar of tho one 1 was ln wore
crashed in. I could sco passengers climb
ing over tho coal cars lying on the adjoin
ing track. Tho possengerH who wero not
lojared assisted In moving the killed and
wonnded. It was a sight that I will never
forget. Several women in the car swooned
away when thoy saw what had happened.”

this State, wag a passenger on tho third
coach from tho smokiDg car and rotated n

which followed tho death-dealing crash. “I

Copyrighted, 18S7, by New York Associated Frees.
Beblin, May 28.—Tho announcement
from Paris that M. Rouvier had succeeded
in forming amlniBtry, excluding Boulanger,
nnd composed of moderates who favor
peace, was received hero with satisfaction,
qualified by fears that the txLlenos of tho
new cabinet would be stormy, soon en. , 'i q
in an aente crisis. The composition ci the
ministry did not become known nulil even
ing. bnt early in the day a report thnt Gen,
Saussier Lad replaced Boulanger gave *
better tone to tho Bourse, although the ap
proach of the holidays and the absence of
buyers checked business. Tho fractional
advance that was made in international
securities wonld havo been greater
if there had existed any con
fidence that tho Paris seti lenient
was permanont, but neither political nor
financial circles considor M. ltouvicr tuoro
than stop-gap. Tho papers, diaenssing the
position after tho disposal of Bonlaiiger,
appeared to despair of the formation of a
ministry whlnh th« QfJEiS gCYS!2!2£!lt
could treat as an abiding factor in negotia
tions. The North German Gazette compares
tho French tontatives toward a cabinet to
Penelope’s weaving. What is done ia tho
day time is undono during tho night. The
Vossis ZeituDgsays the struggles of cliquon
show that parties aro tending toward com
plete chaos and disintegration, and that the
centor of battlo must for somo time bo

ficial lint of tlic Cabinet a number of pnpern
refrain from commenting on the subject.
Tho military displays during tho week
havo boon marred by miserable weather.
Thero was a steady downpour of rain nnd
tho wind was bitterly cold. Dospito the
wintry blasts tho Emperor held the spring
review on Thursday of tho garrisous ot Bei
lin nnd Spondau. Ho romained for over
two hours on tho field in an open carriage
and at night gavo o garrison dinner in the
Old Palace. Ho remained with tbo compa

Next morning he traveled to Potsdam,
where, fresh and animated, ho reviewed the
garrison. Tho Emperor’s powers of endu

and bursting tbo walls of the main build

The U(baton Coal Fit Horror.
Glasgow, May 29 — Forty bodies have
been reccvtml from the Udstoo coal pit at
BUntyre. Queen Victoria has sent a dis-
patch expressing sympathy with the fatni-
lies of the d< h 1 miners. I)istrts«ing scenes
were witneoMtri at the pit as the bodies
were brought np. There is no hope that
the others in the mine can be saved.
extrioatod from
thulHHp^Kjrm was lifeless. The side
of the c*»r w™ crushed down on top of him,
and this, with a large quantity ot coal from
a freight car, had crashed oat his lifo bo-
fore any assistance could bo rondered. I
never want to witness such a distressing
scene again. It makes my flesh quiver
when I think about it. The piercing
shrieks o! tho womon, mingled with the ag
onizing cries of the men, completely over
powers mo now, nlthongh when tho sad
calamity occurred 1 managed to keep pos
session of my senses and aided in the res-
cuo to tho best of my ability. Tho train
must have been running at thirty miles an
hour at tho timo the oollision occurred, and
tho freight train, I should lodge, was going
abouttwelvemilos. The freight was heav
ily loaded, and tho terrible crash caused a
panio among the passengers. I am sur
prised that three times as many wero not
dashed into eternity.”
Tho otlicial list of killed and injured fur
nished by tbo railroad company glvea a»x
killed and eight injured. The names of tho
killed are as follows: Dale B. Graham, son
of ex-Speaker Graham, of Alleghany; Ny-
xuer Snyder, of 8bamokin, Po.; John Dons,
of Eist Liberty, newsboy; John IL Stauf
fer, of Louisville, Ohio; Oh as. Biedlemnn,
of Btinsfield, Noble county, Ind.; Chas. E.
Monel, 75 east 53d street. New York. Two
of the eight injured aro reported dead, but
the report is not confirmed. Neither train
was running at high speed or tho disaster
wonld have been greater. Tho accident
was cansed by the breaking of an axle of
tho freight train, canning the freight car
to drop toward the aojoining track at tho
moment the passenger train was passing.

A CHINESE MURDERER CAPTURED.
Lnd of the Long Hunt After the Blurderer
of Mra. Itlllion in California.
Six Fbaxcisoo, Cal., May 25.—Hong DI,
tho Chinese murderer ot Mrs. Billion, on a
ranch near Chico, was captured Monday.
Interest in the matter had well nigh died
nnt. as no trium of the mnrden-r rnnld hft
found, when it was suddenly revived when
the keeper of tho bridge, five miles from
Chico, brought into town Hong Di’a gun
and a letter from the murderous Chinaman,
which be fonnd on the bridge. The gun
has been identified by Mr. Billion as that of
Hong Di. The letter is written on both
sides of a couple of pieces of brown paper,
and says, in substance, that he is sorry that
Mra. Billion was killed, for she was hie best
friend. Hong Di says that he did not
mean to kill her, but that tho
gUQ went off before be was
nady, and ho killed her instead of the
hired man. Weaver, as he intended. The
letter concludes by sayiog that the writer
will tie his bands and feet and jump from
tho bridge. lie says that be bad been with
out food, and ia driven to suicide by des
peration.
Tho whole thing waa looked upon as a
plan of the wily Chinese to torn attention to
tho river, while Houg Di ee aped by
other route. Large parties were sent out at
once to aoour the country. The result wa?
that the murderer wee found in a wheat
! field near Gildley, and u»w brought to
Chico. There was no question of bis iden
tity. He was badly frightened and feared
he wonld be lynched. He bad been with-
. ont food four days, and ate raveooutly.

transferred to Orovi le, th« county seat, in
order to keep him from vigilantes.
