THE MONOPOLY CRGANIST swings the red rag in fcont of the re- publican bull by aeserting that the demoecracy and anti-monopolists are all consolidated. This 1s in the face of the fict that neither the democrats nor the anti-monopolists have as yet been able to agree among themselves upon one man; and even if they were con- solidated could not elect without the support of republicans, There cer- tainly does not appear to be the re- motest show of electing a democrat, but it is inevitable with the pressure that is being brought that a republican cagcus will choose a monopolist. If it is not Zoe Millard it will be some man who can command the support of the rallroads while he is masquerad- ing as an anti-monopolist. THE DSREE FOURTHR RULE by which the scheming raliroad attor- neys are trying to inveigle the an wmonopoly republicans into & caucus will be no barrier, Whenever any can- didate commands thirty.five votes in acaucos those who support the minor candidates will go over in a body, and before they realiss it will be hound to support a mau whom they never would have voted for had they been left to their personal choice. It will be a very easy matter to pool the rallroad vote in a caucus on one msa, bot it would be no easy matter to elect such a man in the open field. Quite a number of republicans elected on anti-monopoly pledges have all along professed that they proposo to vindlcate the republi- can party b{ casting their votes only for a man who is sound on the railway insue, but most of these men HAVE WALLEN INYO THE TRAP laid for them by sham anti-monopo- lists, and are now voting for candi- dates whoare not one whit sounder on the main issue than Joe Mil- lard, Had these mwe: come to the front at the beginning and cast their votes for mn wvowed out and out antl-monopolist of republican sntecedents like General Connor, Captain Stickle or even Crounse, they would command re , snd n by this time hava forced an el Tt {s not too late yet, hc thesa men abandon th choice by tying thems caucus candidate whoev The sltuation summed up iy si this: The five leading Millard, Thayer, Siunders, Cowin and Manderson mustered (4 members lastSaturday,rangingfrom S to 16 votes for oach, They all feel hopefal yet « carrying off the priza.

Batler supplemented the reply of the auditor by a statement, that at the time the subjsot was new in 15864, his recollection wae that no one could be found who was legally entitled to receive the money, The committee on charitles reported back the bill for the protection of guests ¢ hotels and lodging houses feom fire, with a recommendation that it 5: resolution of yesterday, to supply papers and postage stamps to the members of the senate came up for consideration, and Butler offered an amendment to include the chaplain and officers, After some dissussion Batler offered a substitute including members and cffisers and raising the number of papers to be distributed from five to ten The substitute was accepted by Sang.

He asked me 1f I wanted to ship to Goodell. I an swered ““Yes,” and then asked him, *‘In there anything wrong with Good- eli?’ He seomed busy with other matters and in an abstract manner answered *‘Yee!” In a short timesfer making the above answer he left the office.aud went into the frelght house, as 1 presumed he wanted to communicate something to me, I fol- lowed him, He then said to me that Mr. H, M Smith, the general freight agent of this division sat ih the cflice and that he would introduce me to him. I answered ‘‘all right;” after the introduction Mr. Smith opened the conversation by sayirg, ‘‘Mr, Brannen, I underatand your contract with Mr, Goodell is completed. There are three regular dealers hero with men who own (elevators) property on the track, This is all the buyers that are needed here and they must be protected, and you must quit buying.” 1 then told him that I expected shelled corn from the country daring the day an a1 ount to load two cars—that I feit rcrrleud as to what to do with t 1f I could not ship it He answered ‘‘you can ship to Atchison.” I then told him that we had considerable corn under contract in the nonn::*y and asked him what would wedo with that. Heanswered, *“I will allow you to ship that to Ohi- cago at regular tari [The tariff on corn to Chicago, 1 am told, from this station is 30 cents per cwt. or 16 8 10 cents per bushels.| I then asked him the question, ‘‘Suppose we build an elevutor, cam we then ship grain’”’ He answered, *‘It will do you no good under the clrcumstances.” These are the facts and the language used as nearly as I can remember.

The train consisted «f two engines, express mail and baggege aars, two sleepers, one coach and one smoker, It went down the grade at a FRIGHTFUL SPRED, for about foar miles, when the hinder- most sleeper jumped the track and went over an embankment about fif teen feet high, carrying with it the other slesper, mail, biggsge, and ex- press cars, which were piled in shat- tered heaps. These took fire and were consumed, The coach and smoker went on down the geade, and or were stopped without leaving the |D. track, about two miles farther on. All on board these ocars were unin- jured, The scene following the wreck was terrible, and & number of persoas were jammed amid the ruins of the train and ROASTED TO DEATH before the eyes of those helpless to save them, At present it is imponsible t1 give the loss f life accurately, but lbfil believod from twelve to fifteon persons were killed or burned to death, The dead are Mrs, John Cassel, wife of the well known mining man, burned; F. W. Pierson, express mes- sengar; the portor of the sleepers, named Wright, was taken ous alive, but died soon after, and Lawrence, the porter of the other eleeper, who was burned.

A wreoking train has arrived from Sumner, FURTHER DETAILS, Farther advices from Tehacapi glve a8 the probable cause of the accident that when the train stopped the air brakes were applied, On detaching the engine the brakes relaxed and the hand brakes were either left open or were not strong enough to hold the train, The movement msy have been helped by strong gale blowlog. It is now certala that eighteen passengers and two sleeping car porters were killed and ten or twelve badly injured. Seventeen bodies havo been removed from the wreck. Oue of them is con- sldered certainly to be Mrs. Downey Capt. Waterhouse, previously reported injared, 1s not expected to survive, The following were badly burned: Mra. P, C. Hatch, Mrs, R. L.
