By the breaking of one of the locomotive trive-wheels, which snapped off close to the axle, the entire train, which was moving at aspeed of thirty-five miles an hour, was thrown from tho track, Nearly every car rolled over once or twice, but the postal and express cars were especially unfortunate, In the postal-car were four employés of tho ratlway nail service, while the express-mes- senger occupied the express-earnione, Both cars took firo Instantly upon being over- turned, and the five men tmprisoned inside were roasted alive, It happened singularly ‘that not nnothor person on the wrecked train was injured, ny +Tnx showing made by Prof, Hind relative tothe shameful frauds practiced upon tho United States inthe cooking up of stathitlesto Influence she award of the Halifax Commls-, sion fs fully substantiated in a report by Constl-General Jackson to the United States Government, Consul Jackson's report, which antedates the charges of Prof, Hind, and thercfore cannot be accused of having-been, Drepared with a view to backing up those charges, shews conclusively that there wero grent discrepancies in the Canadian fishery figures, and that the value of the ‘fish prod- uet to Canadian fishermen and the profits enjoyed by the Ainoricans wero grossly over estimated.

The subject presents many curious and complex phases, and it will not be surprising {f the present Congress falls altogether. In agreeing upon the pro- visions of an Apportionment bill, Mn. Kuykenpant has introduced in the Tiltnots Senate a bill which might pass for sn excellent burlesque on fegtsintion, if it were not evidently meant to be serious, the pur- pose of which is tocrente a complete system of State boiler-inspection. The bill contem- plates the appointment of an Inspector-Gen- ern of Bolters, and one Deputy-Genernt Boller-Inspector for each Congressfonnl dls trict; ‘There would thus be at ‘the outset twenty salarled State offciats whose sole duty would be to wander over the Stute fn tho affeged. {nspection of boflers In IiMuols,, While the scheme is utterly use- less, experlenen tenches that this would be only-the begluning of o much more expen- sive system. If the dill should becomen law, it would soon be found by persons interested that the staff of Bollur-Inspeetors was lament ‘ably Insuflicient for the proper performance of the work {n so large a State, and’ that the salaries paid were wretehedly Inndequate to compensate the itinerating Inspectors, Press- ure vaild be-brought sto. bear on the Legis Intiive to seciite ah indrense of ‘salary for the Ingpector-General, of , Boilers and the nine- teen Deputy Genorn): Inspectors of: oilers, Thera would be'an eitort to hive assistants appointed. to relleve the Deputies ‘of the arduous and degrading work of. actually-in- specting sooty boilers In person. In time, as the State increased and bollers multipiled, it Is quite probable that each Deputy would find It impossible to discharge his duties without an oftice and n ataif of clerks,n horau and buggy to carry fin around on fits offieiat rounds, and a dawyer to. advise him what course to wurstie when boilers should blow up In splte of his inspection, The absurdity of Kuykendafl'a measure ‘fs self-evident. Tho Federal inspection now extends to stenmors on navigable waters.
