Chandler offered a resolution, which was laid over till i raorrow, directing the attorney general to Inform the senate whether or not ouring the present rear there bad come to the Knowledge ot the de'otrtment ot justice any violation of the eleventh and fourteenth eectlons of the civil service law ot 18S3, so, whether any pioiecutlons had been Instituted to punish such violations. The senate then resumed nt Mr. Hale's resolution ot General Benel'e circular as to discharges from arsenals and armories and Mr. Teller opened the discussion upon It He thought it a very grave misfortune that the people should Itave come to believe lhat vast sums of money were collected, or were necessary, for the purpose ot carr.ving on political campaigns. It the Issue ot the presidentlsl election depended upon money the republlcau party might as well surrender now as at anv time.

With nearly $00,000,003 of the public monev now in United States banks Instead in circulation, or Instead of having been used In payment of the debt It was easy for the democratic national eammltteo to call upon those people who were plundering the government In that way for their contributions and they would hardly sar "uay" when the retention ot this money, for which tliey paid no Interest depended nn the good will of a democratic secretary ot the Heasury, who, It was said, had tributeil $10,000 to tbe campaign fund and of whom It was said, whether truthfully or not that his nearest relative had contributed equally as much. Mr. Saulsbury thougbt such a debate on such a reso- lulloh disreputable to tbe senate. It he bad the power he would repeal the civil service statute and revoke every order made under It He characterized the attacks upon the president as attempts to clip bis wings In the vain hope ot preventing bis over tbe field next November, and he declared that Mr. Cleveland would live In the history ot his countrv long litter bis traducers were forgotten.

Mr. Stewart Biild that be had come to the conclusion that the civil service law was a bad one and that It ought to be repealed. was a law to promote duplicity anil law, every execution ot which would breed a race ot rascals. The resolution was then agreed to without division and the senate bill lelatlug to the classification ot tbe post offices and aineudatorr of the act ot March 18Sij, to adjust the Bularies of postmasters (amended BO as to take effect on July 1, 1881) whs passed. A further conference was ordered on the deficiency bill, and atlcr an executive session the senate adjourned till the bouse, the senate bill was passed providing that the secretary ol-tbiJ treasury-should permit tbe use of petroleum ns fuel on steamers not carrying passengers without the certificate of tbe supervising Inspector of the district where the vessels might be used.

Mr. Uurnes of Missouri then called up the conference report on the general deficiency appropriation bill when tbe amendment appropriating tS 000 for the Industrial Christian home association of Utah gave rise to a long political discussion. The conference report was then rejected in order to enable tbe coc- ference committee to change the language providing for an Investlgatloo Of the Wash- acqueduct matter, so aa to enlarge iho scope ot tbe Inquiry. WAsnixoTON, Oct. after the reading ot the the house proceeded to tbe consideration of private business out the point of 00 quorum was raised quarters ot an hour tbe business of the house was at a standstill.

Finally Mr. Kllgore of Texas called up for consideration the house hill to Incorporate the United States canal company of Nicaragua. By the rule under which the house is acting live objections are sufllclent to prevent tbe consideration ot any measure and as Messrs. Martin, Lenham n-id Culberson of Texse, Lawler ot Illinois, Fuller of luwa, and Butler of Tennessee objected ihe bill waa not placed before tbe house. After discussing several other measures tbe house took a recess.

At the evening session twenty-seven private pension bills were passed and the house adjourned till Monday. house Alflson aatd that the seeate bill wat and distinct measure of protection to American industries, while the bouse bill was i a long the direction oi what was commonly known as free trade. Mr. Vance (one ot the minority members oi tbe finance committee) next addressed tbe senate. He drew an imaginary sketch oi tbe partnership entered Into at the close ot the war between the government of the United States and the manufacturers of the United terms ot the partnership being that the government wai to enact the law and subject foreign prodU'ete to the taxation for its own benefit pf the home manufacturers.

He described this as an unholy and Iniquitous eystein of taxation upon the many for the benefit ot tbe few. How, be asked, did tbe senute substitute divide the reduction of duties aa between the government and the people on the one fide and the. favored classes on the other? It took off the tax on tobacco (ja and the tax on alcohol used In the arts' and reduced the duty on sugar, nearly all of which taxes (amounting to tari ,000,000) were pure revenue. In other words, the senate bill took $9 from tbo government for every tl that It took from the manufacturer. He charactaf-.

Ized as sheer nonsense, or worse, the assumption that high tariff meant high wages. The house bill, he lald, was framed, not only to relieve the treasury, but to relieve tbe people, the senute bill ivm frnmed-fTr-firtrti'Hf'V treasury and to increase the burdeni Of the people, and after all that said, that Is the difference between the two tbe motion of Mr. Georgia, the senate bill was passed providing for tbe dis- posaLof the Fort-Wallace milltarr reservation in Kansas.

Oct The Cincinnati and St. Louis express, which leftthe Baltimore station In this city at 10 o'clock last night collided with an cast bound freight train from Martlnsburg, W.

near Dlckcrson, killing three'irainmen and Injuring six others. By almost a miracle the passengers all escaped uninjured. A mile east of Uickereon station the road makes a sharp turn and then goes down a heavy grade In a deep cut the banks being tiienty feet or more sbove the level ot the tracks. Around this curve tlio train dashed just before midnight and began Its descent, gathering uiomeutum each second. The freight, which bad orders to remain oil a switch at Tuscarrora, one mile beyond, until the express passed, had a few minutes before left the switch and was slowly tolling up tbe grade.

Suddenly there were flashes ot the headlights, and the train men on tbe two engines were appalled at the coming disaster, which they immediately saw could not be avoided, as Ihe two engines were almost upon each otiier. shout- Engineer J. E. Welch ot the freight train as be sprang from his cab to the side ot the track; but his iireiuan, J. B.

VIrts, had no time to get from his place at the furnace, aud George was also on the engine, was so paralyzed that he was unable to heed the warning. J. W. manot tbe passenger train, jumped and escaped uninjured. In an instant the two engines came toget her with such force that they stood locked together on the track and formed a base upon which was piled In confusion a pyramid twenty feet high, consisting ot three wrecked freight cars, two-express cars, the mall car and a baggage car.

These acted as a buffer for the passenger coaches attached to tbe express, and though the passengers were vlo lontly thrown forward, all escaped unlu jured The paiiBengcrs Immediately set to work to extricate the trainmen from the debris and a wrecking train, arriving a few hours later, assisted In iho At 5 o'clock this afternoon the track was not yet free from debris, although all the men had been gotten out The killed are: William H. WUe.y.a postal clerk of Falrinount W. John Closey, a postal clork ot Washington; and George Berlin, Mdr The' Injured are: Engineer Joseph Jeffries nt the express train; J. B. VIrts, fireman of the freight; Thomas Landon, conductor ot the cxiiress train; A.

C. Crook, postal clerk; L. W. Gordon, express messenger, and H. Jackson, postal clerk.

The bodies ot the killed nere brought to this and those of Wiley and Ridcnbaugh were subsequently shipped to their late homes. Tbe injured men were convoyed to their bomes in Baltimore, with the exception of C. Crook, who lives In Washington. It Is not thought that any ot them are badly Injured except Virts, who was and Eur gineer Jeffries, who was severely scalded about the bead and neck, and may die. Jet- fries was found lu his cab underneath the wreck and strange to say, would have escaped totally uninjured but for the escaping steam.

The accident waa duo to a mistake on the part-uf the freight train men. They say they bad orders to lay on the switch at 'ruscarrora and wait for two sections ot the Pittsbuae express and the express train which caused the collision, to pass. They had been on duty continuously for tbirty-tlx hours, and after seeing the first section ot the Pittsburg express pass had gone to sleep at their posts to secure-a-little awoke as the aecond section thundered b.y, and as It was running on the schedule time of the Cloclonatl and Bt Louis express they thought it waa the train which had just passed tberefore pulled out tbe aiding and cams oown the iln- gle track. thai they were those ot an unusuallv luo woman who had probably occupied a rood social position.
