Another dispatch says: the Cannon Ball Express on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which left Cincinnati last night, ran into an open switch near tbe Washington, depot about o'clock this morning, and was precipitated over tho trestle a disr tance of forty feet.

The train was running at a high rate of speed and was almo.st completely wrecked. The engineer, Ja3. Noonan, and a passenger named Newell, of Wheeling, were instantly killed and about twenty injured a number seriously. Only Engineer Noonan was killed outright, but fireman Brown and Baggage master Henry and a colored pas senger are likely to die. Nineteen passengers; were more or less badly hurt but are not likely to die.

As stated before, the accident was caused by a misplaced switch. The train jumped the track and ran into a 'Y 1 near the depot. The curve was so short that the train could nit ksep the track and jumped over the trestle. Third Day at Flmlleo. Baltimore, Oct.

Both men were found dead and their horse also killed before 11 o'clock, and the money a few miles from the city on the Wilkesbarre Mountain, and onlv a mile and a half from McFadden1 office. The discovery was made by McFadden himself, who was passing along the road, and found the dead horse and McClure's body in the road and Flannagan a short distance away.

Exports of breadstuff, cotton, provisions, petro'eura and cattle from the principal potts in September were, S33.20S C79 in value, against last year.tTh decline indicates an excels oNmpJrtf over exports in September, as in same months, probably amounting to $5,000,000. But since October firt the oreadstuff movtct nt has been almost, entirely arrested, a ii natural with Erices at New Yotk livelier than at lyerpool, and December wheat as high in Chicago as Ntw York. Perception of tbe unnatural Mate of the market, has led to tome decline iu speculative prices during the pt week, wheat having fallen 41, cornet. hogs and lard each, cotton i. but tbt enormons.suprlies of money ttill facil tates great pecnlativ'e activity.

Durinethe past week the Treasury ha reduced it? cah on hand by $12, 000 OX) gold $2,400,000 ill ver. and $900,000 legartnder. An addition of over $15,000,000 to circulation in a week would tend in ordinary eondi- ions, to lift prices iu the speculative markets, and yet the tendency or prices ha3 been downward daring the week, and even thejtock market hSf yieldel a little, the prices averagtcg a shade lower than a week ago, though somewhat stronger oa rridny. Norwitnfctacding better news in re gard to North western rates and favor able reports of earning, it was seen that the hbrinkape in exports would affect traffic; that full reports for Sep tember showed a decline of MX per cent. in.

earnings; per mile operated, and statements considered disheartening, appeared regarding IHltimore and Ohio, and Missouri? Pacific finances, while the large decline tu At chison tock had some icfluence. Bur it is held encouraging that prices ate so well "maintained iu spite of orao adverse influences. Domestic trade continues large and the hopeful feehng does not abate, Every interior pointxreporting, repre sents butinesa as improving and not a few points larger thanxa yesr ago. Increased transactions at speculative centres swell bank clearingfso that the iucrease outsido of New ork over last year is about ten per but with full allowances ror the imiaenco of speculation, it is evident that the value of legitimate trade is also very large. No complaint of a scarcityf money is heard this week from any quarter, and loo demand irom this city, thougn still large, shows some signs of abatement.

Nor are complaints of tardiness in collections as frequent as they were recently; at nearly all points an im provement in that respect is noted. The decrease of a thousand tons in the weekly output of charcoal iron, makes the net increase during September in iron of all kinds 3,043 tons weekly, or 3 VBT cent. The market for pig is a waiting oue without change in prices. Bar iron i rather less firm owing-. to'Vestern efferings, and in rails no Eastern pales aro re-portedC and only 10,000 tons at Pittsburg and 20,000 ton at Chicago.

The official report shows that sales for the nine months ending October were tons, against 1,833.120 last year, and deliveries of 021,303 tons, against last year. Tbe coal trade ir now quiet, autumn purchases having been largely anticipated. In lead the fall of.forty cents per 100 pounds in a day, was attributed entirely to peculation, and the same influence lifted coffee slightly, thou eh the deatnbu-tive demand is still restricted. The sugar market favors buyer, and in groceries generally there is some evidence of a slackening demand. The wool market continue strong with best grades scarce, and prices have again slightly advanced.

A firmer feeling is noted, in dry goods though trade at present is only moderate in volume, and buyers continue to operate with caution In the light of reports received it will be seen that tho volume of is remarkably well sustained on the whole, notwithstanding the influence of political excitement with many persons deferring operations, because of uncertainty regarding the future policy of tbe government, and with many others devoting much of their time to political activity. Some diminution in volume of trade would be natural, but dispatches indicate that in all sections jot the country, the impression prevails that more active and prosperous trade may be expctedxaf ter election.

A STORM UNUSUAL AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. Tire Weather Threatening But hm Storm Unexpected The Ilalletonee Shattered the GImm, and Did Much Other Damage The Effect on tbe Horte-Of Uaasaal Violence Under Shelter.

Chicago, Oct. 19. A very severe hail storm, accompanied by a high gale, passed over this section of the country last evening, the hail lasting fifteen minutes. While the weather had been threatening all day, the sharp flashes of lightning and severe thunder bolts which preceded the storm were rather unexpected, and the fall of hail was a still greater surprise. "The storm caused 'much discomfort and damage; the big hailstones shattered street lamps, and here and there, crashed through the thick glass of skylights in office buildings.

They sent fragments of electric light globes clattering to the feet of pedestrians, and broke exposed show cases. The hot houses in the parks and those of many florists throughout the city were badly damaged. The most appalling feature of the storm was the effect it had on the horses. No less than five runways tore through Fifth Avenue in five minutes, and there were a member of smash nps elsewhere. A run away collided with a Wabash" Avenue car at Madison street frightening the passengers badly.

All the lights at the crib were smashed except the big one, and the waves driven by the terrific wind sent their spray to the top of the high tower. The signal service man said the storm was of unusual violence; the rainfall amounted to almost an inch and the hailstones were exceptionally large, especially for the fall of the year and evening at that. The barometer and theremometer made! many unusual shifts, and altogether the day was nnexplainable. During the storm a house in the southern portion of the city was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. On th lake, the quail was something in tense but it passed without disaster off this port, because there happened to be no vessels within ten miles of here, the heavy southwest wind during the day having kept most of the crafc under shelter.

New York Stock Market. New Yoek, Oct. 19. Transactions on the stock market to day were larger than for many days, and were attended with considerable excitement especially in the afte mon, when prices gave way and rapidly declined in most of the list. The feeling in the forenoon was almost entirely bullish, though traders were selling even at that time, but buyirg was good, and there seemed to be a wider interest in speculation.

Later, however, Atchison declined rapidly and a drive was made atT the Gould stocks, and Missouri Pacific in particular, while the news of the million dollar" failure in Chicago came in to snsettle confidence, were not slow to take advantage of-thefavorable combinations. Stop orders were reached all over the list, and prices declined rapidly carrying even the strong stocks of the forenoon with them, and at the close almost all the early gains had been wiped out. Union Pacific was again a great feature of the market, and during the forenoon was very strong on a still larger business than has been scored on any previous day. The buying which has been so persistent in the stock is still a mystery to the street, and to-day many-influential men were mentioned as probable purchasers, while friends of the stock were proph-ecying an early dividend on the stock. The Northern Pacific group next loomed up into prominence and Northern Pacific preferred, and Oregon Transportation, both made handsome gains.

A sudden and radical change canie over the temper of speculation, however, and Atchison and Missouri -Iacifie led, while all the Boston favorites-were specially weak. a. Norfolk and Western preferred was also quite weak on a light business, and the strong stocks all joined the procession and before the close, Union Pacific had been depressed nearly 1 percent, below the closing price ot lastnight. The close was active and the lowest prices of the day. sales309.000 shares.

The active list is almost invariably lower and Atchison lost 4, Missouri Pacific 2J, Norfolk and Western preferred If, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy li. Oregon Short-Line 1 per and others fractional afirounts. Retaliation Threatened. Brazoria, Texas, Oct. 19.

A conflict between the whites and negroes of Fort Bend and Brozoria counties is feared, on account of the lynching that occurred yesterday, Tuesday night Isaac VanDorn was assassinated by a1 negro named Nat Nathaniel. Yesterday morning citizens from the surrounding country assembled and began a search for the murdurer. He was captured in the town of Wharton. His captors started with him to Brazoria jail and when five miles from Brazoria, they were surrounded by a crowd who wrested the prisoner from them and hanged him. The negroes are greatly wrought up over the occurrence, and threats of retaliation have been made, Be Knew too Unch.

Denison, Texas, Oet.19. Hollis Green, Hying on Blue river in the Choctaw nation was called to his door Tuesday night and shot dead. Green was an important witness in a murder trial at Fort Smith, and it is presumed that his death resulted from knowing too much of the case. The Indian police are making diligent search for the murderer. i Bond Offeriars.

1SS3. Ail the tUk here is of the success of thflFair. Erery thing was in itsfavor. There were tio nscidents. no disorder and as little drunkenness as was ever known.

Observant persons from other States said frankly that it was the best dressed and best behaved throng, of people they had ever seen. No fair was ever more enjoyed. To day the attendance was small, comparatively, but was yet very good. The Fair ended this afternoon. The success of the exhibition is an important matter for the State Agricultural Society, which has seen some pretty hard times.

There will at the next Fair probably be a union of forces with the Farmers' Alliance. It was stated day before yesterday that Prof. Myers would make the bal loon ascension to-day. He is a fraud of the worst type. Last night he and his assistants jumped the town.

This failure was the only unpleasant feature of the Fair, but the authorities are in no wise responsible. A negro man, the sexton of a church here yesterday stole a lot of admission tickets, and by the aid of a white man and some negroes was selling them at the gateways to the Fair. He was caught and so was his accomplices.A box containing $40 of the Society's money was also very daringly stolen. The thief is believed to be a youner white man. The football match i yesterday was between Wake Forest College and State University teams.

The Wake Forest team was in white uniforms, and both teams played well. There-suit of a hard contest, which lasted about two hours, was two goals for the Wake Forest team, to one for the-'Varsity boys. A. good deal of cotton in pine straw bagging is now coming in. The compress is running day and night.

The receipts of cotton are quite liberal and the grade has improved remarkably, There; is quite a prompt renewal of fertilizer licenses, the Commissioner of Agriculture informed me to-day. A good many new brands will enter the State. I The number of visitors to the public buildings yesterday was the greatest ever known. The janitors say they never saw anything like it. There was a regular procession of sightseers in every place of public interest.

The Supreme court has heard all the arguments, and long ones they were, in the appeal of Cross and White. To day the ccurt heard argument in the cases of State ys. Anderson, and Norris vs. Luther, from Wake, i Seveial convicts came in to day. Deputy Sheriff Taylor, of Hertford, brought one; Deputy Sheriff Williams, of Sampson brought two, and Sheriff Smith, or Wayne one.

udge Avery will next Monday be gin a Civil Term of Wake Superior court. The docket is light and he can dispose of it in less time than the three weeks allowed for the term. Senator Vance speaks at Stronach's warehouse this evening. It goes with out saying that he will have a large audience. I He was at Democratic headquarters to-day, making arrangements for his canvass.

He gives good reports of the State affairs, National and State, in the matter of the elections. Of course. as to the result in North Carolina there is not a shadow of doubt. j. Loge Harris told your correspond ent thar he had written Senator Vance making a proposition for a division of time at Rolesville, this county, where the Senator; speaks to-morrow.

The Senator remarked this morning that he had not yet received the letter. Of course a debate between Loge and the Senator would be a farce. Your cor respondent told Loge he would defray his funeral expenses after the meeting. I The Democratic candidates in this county say they expect to come out 300 ahead in the contest. They are doing good work steadily and earnestly.

I Rewards were to-day offered by the Governor for no less than four murderers. These were as follows $125 for Robert Tucker, white of Warren, lor the murder of Weldon Davis, colored, on the night of the 27th of September; $200 tor Jerome Ruff, white, of Haywood county, for the murder of Gaitber Reece, in Madison county, on the 2d of March last; $125 for W. B. Adams, white, of Beaufor. for the murder of Joshua N.

Cox; $75 for Arthur Barnes, white, of Alexander, for the murder of J. H. W. Rob-inett. The ball last night at Henry Hall was brilliant, but that to-night, known as the Marshals' ball, was more brilliant, still.

There are many visiting belles, and a finer collection of pretty and stylishly costumed women one would have to go far to find. Raleigh will be largely represented at the Virginia Exposition, particularly next week. Most people expect to go oyer the road, via Durham and Oxford. The warm, dry weather is grand for the farmers and cotton picking and wheat sowing are iu active progress-But the streets are to-day very dirty. The health of Mr.

John T. Patrick Commissioner of Immigration, ban considerably improved and he is able to do a good deal of work. Janauschek has made a great im pres-sion here. '-Last evening a brilliant audience gave the closest attention to a very fine presentation of Marie Stuart, with Jasanschek ia the title role. She uas xallsd before the curtain, as T7i3 tlzo Lcnis Haytrood, a Ralcish fcojn trha la iafcc? csspsny.

ii t-u. hof the gravest resDonsibilities which rests upon it at this time, the urgency of protecting in i so far as its' ability will permit, those at a distance, and who are nnacclimat-ed, whether citizens of Jacksonville, or others, from unwarrantably risking their live3 by coming into this city or its suburbs before there is reasonable ground for believing that tbe danger of infection has passed. Even this early, the disposition on the part of some absentees to return is manifesting itself, and as the fall advances and more continned cold weather occurs in latitudes North of; us, doubtless the pressure of business obligations, or longings for home will constantly increase the number of those who will endeavor to deceive them3elve3 in this regard. Most of the fever cases are being largely diminished and we have reason to hope that ere. long the epidemic, in so far at least as the city proper is concerned, will be virtually at an end.

But this will only be because the material for its further continuance will have been exhausted. The disease is now principally active in surburban districts, even four or five miles from the city's centre, and new cases are likely to continue developing in these directions; Neither the houses nor atmosphere of Jacksonville are any less dangerous; to the unacclimated than they were a month since, and we would earnestly warn all who are liable to contract yellow fever, against venturing to come here merely be- cause mey may see tnat there are no new cases reported. Wait until the Board of Health notifies you that the epidemic is not Only over, but that it is reasonably for absentees and strangers to come here again, and then return, only, under such restrictions and directions as may be advised by the authorities. We would add that, there does not appear to be any probable grounds upon which to base an expectatipn, that this time so earnestly desired by us all, will come earlier than the very last of November or the beginning I of December. In consideration off thj great importance of this matter as it bears upon the preservation of the lives of our absent fellow citizens, and likewise of an early and thorough reestabhsh-ment of Jacksonville's ordinary healthful reputation, this Board respectfully suggests to the city authorities, the enactment of such an ordinance, as will most effectually aid in protecting the interests of all concerned in this direction.

Therefore be it resolved, that until such time as the proper authorities shall officially declare it safe to remove such restriction, no person who cannot present satisfactory evidence to the authorities that, he or she has had yellow fever, shall be permitted to enter any locality where the fever infection now exisits, or where such infection may develop, between the present time and the occurrence of frost, and this Board of Health request Dr. Porter, representing the Marine Hospital Department of the United States, who has signified the willingness of the Department to assume the duty and to adopt such measures in- conjunction with the civil authorities, as will best prevent the return of the people of Jacksonville, before it may be determined safe for this community as well as for the people so returning. (Signed) Neal Mitchell, M. President. There were twenty seven new cases of yeilow fever for the twenty-fourhours ending at 6 pi m.

to day; four deaths, as follows: Wm, Lowe, Sand Hills; J. Walker, 134 iState street; Mrs. Chambers, St. Luke's, and a child of Herrick Clark (col.) Of the new cases nine were whites and eighteen colored. Total cases to date total deaths 326.

The Get There ealn. New York, Oct. 19 The Browns were again outplayed at Washington Park baseball grounds, Brooklyn to day, and dropped the fourth game of the world's championship series to New York's. The weather was admirable; the grounds very soggy and sawdust was spread along the. base lines and around the catcher's position.

It drizzled during more than half the game, and at one time it rained pretty hard. The bleaching boards were pretty well crowded and umbrellas were numerous, but not one of the "bleachers" left his seat. Instead they vociferously demanded, that the game be plaved out. A large number of New Yorkers traveled to Brooklyn, anot the Giants had the spectators decidedly on their side. Latham was out of humor and gave the spectators few opportunities to guy him.
