on the Pennsylvania Railroad at Moss Bide,
just before daylight this morning. The
gravel train stopped at that point, and be
fore a flagman could be sent out, a freight
tram which was following, crashed into it.
The rear car of the gravel train and the
engine and tender of the freight train were
both thrown over on the north track just in

jilunged into them, and the result was dis
astrous. Cars were piled on the top of one
another and some of them were telescoped a
distance of 50 teet from the tracks.
Engineer Smith and Fireman Martin, of
the "West bound train, had a marvelous
escape in view of the fact that the engine

IsrCCIAI. TELEORAH TO TITS DISPATCH. 1
New Tobk, May 28. Colonel EUiott F.
Shepard received this letter to-day from Mr.
D. C. Bichardeon, a lawyer and former
Police Justice of Richmond, Va.:
Sib We have heretofore been of the opinion
that the Constitution our fathers made guar
anteed citizens of the several States the enjoy
ment of life and liberty, but your recent edi
torial breathes of threatening! and slaughter,
and we quake and tremble. We have thought
that in pursuit of happiness we would receive
the protection of this great Government, bnt
in seeking to promote onr happiness the all
potent Matt and Express interposes Its stern
command to prevent us. We hoped the
favor would have been granted to do
honor to the memory of our loved ones,
bnt the editorial dictator prohibits us from
doing so. We therefore ask that you will re
lent in your wrath, fold the ensanguined gar
ment, realize that the war is over, allow the
holiest emotions of unity to And a place in your
bosom and permit us, the citizens ot a common
country, to obey the promptings of loving
hearts, and do honor to the memory of a great
and cood man Robert E. Lee. If this fat or
should be granted us we cordially invite you to
be present, and to show our gratitnde, we
promise yon all the notoriety yon seek by pub
licly exhibiting yon before 500,000 of our peonlo
as me only man in cms country wno ever con
ceived the thought that our sincere desire to
honor our dead meant disloyalty to the Union.
A CALL ON THE COLONEL.
The letter was prompted, or course, by
some of the articles that have appeared re
cently in the Mail and Express on the sub
ject ot carrying Confederate flags at the un
veiling of the statue to General Robert .
Lee. Colonel Shepard was seated in his
sanctum in Park Bow, this afternoon, when
a reporter of The Dispatch called. His
silkhat was tilted back on his head and he
was gazing longingly into a tureen of con
somme that a clerk had just placed on his
desk. He offered some bread and crackers
to the reporter, but regretted that he had no
knife to butter them, nor any spoon to get at
the soup with.
"I am almost famished," he said, as he
seized at a piece of bread, "and I guess
fingers were made before knives, so here
goes." The reappearance of the clerk with
a knife and spoon saved the Colonel the
necessity of demonstrating his democratic
spirit.
"I don't think anybody wants to go down
to Bicbmond in its present condition," he
said between spoontuls, "but I've said all
that I care to in answer to this letter in the
Mail and Express of to-night."
The reporter thereupon went out and
bought a copy of the Colonel's paper. This
is what the Colonel says: r
A FAETICULAB VISIIOE.
The conditions on which the gentleman to
whom the foregoing letter is addressed, by a
former police justice of Bicbmond. would visit
the capital ot Virginia, would be the burial of
the statue ot General Robert E. Lee In the
same grave as his perishing form, and the final
entombment of all the Confederate insignia,
flags, colors, badges, tunes, buttons, epaulettes,
swords, cannon, songs, muskets, commissions,
histories, records and paraphernalia of every
kind. He warns the celebrants of secessionist
glories that it is just as true now as it was in
1S60, when Abraham Lincoln first pronounced
the solemn warning that "A house divided
against itself cannot stand."
The people of Virginia then paid no atten
tion to the warning. Tho result was a bloody
war, entire victory all along the lines for the
union ot tne wnoie house, and a subsequent
rekindling of the principles of discord by tho
minority "white ruling classes" in that portion
of the house inhabited by tbem. These princi
ples will cither burn on till they produce
another civil war, or will be extinguished. The
first opportunity to stamn out these flames of
di.cord is afforded to the rebels themselves.
But if they refnse the opportunity and fan
tbem still higher they need not be surprised to
find a million patriots marching to Dut out the
lire. The glorious Union will be preserved at
all costs and every hazard. And the only flag
that can wave within it is the glorious Stars
and Stripes. And there is going to be unity of
loyalty thronghout the whole length and
breadth of the Union. The
PATBIOTISM OF THE COUNTBY
is no longer to be deceived by such specious
and deceptive arguments as are advanced by
Mr. Richardson. The country sees the old
rebel element organized, solidified and defiant
in the rush of so many rebels to glorify the de
feated traitor Lee, and the dishonored, pollut
ing Confederate rag. It is one of the many ways
used by the statesmen of the Southeast to "fire
the Southern heart," to prevent the spread of
patriotic Republican sentiments, to hold their
hosts together till tbey will, if they can, elect a
Democratic president and then make him per
form the same treasonable rolo as did Presi
dent Buchanan, and sell the country to the
Southeastern white ruling class; when, goodby
to the Constitution of the United States, to
equality of political rights, to freedom and
everything for which the war for tho Union
was fought.
To foresee these evils is t;o be warned against
them. To destroy them in the germ is to pre
vent the bloody catastrophes that will follow
their living. The way to destroy them in tho
germ is to do those things indicated aboro
which will make Richmond a place which can
be visited with self-respect and dehgnt by a pa
triot.
CONVICTED 0 FIVE COUNTS.
Claassen, the Bank Wrecker, Found Guilty
nnd Asks for a Now Trial.
New Yobk. May 28. The jury in the
case of President Claassen filed into the
court room this evening after a trial of sev
eral days with a verdict of guilty on five
counts of the indictment, which formed the
principal charges against him as the Presi
dent of the Sixth National Bank. Claassen
did not betray any signs of emotion, and
immediately his counsel gave notice that he
would formally make a motion for a new
trial and a stay of judgment within the
three days' limit prescribed by law. The
jury was then discharged and the prisoner
remanded into the custody of the United
States Marshal.
Mrs. Claassen, the wife of the convicted
bank: President, was in an adjoining room
when the jury filed into court. When ap
prised of the verdict against her husband
she fainted, but after considerable effort she
was restored. Claassen was taken to the
Ludlow Street Jail.
THE WOMEN SHUT OUT.
The World's Fnlr Cannot Kecocnlze the
Women's Organizations.
Chicago, May 28. The World's Fair
Executive Committee took action to-day on
the question of the Woman's Department of
the Exposition to the extent of declaring
that the committee could not officially
recognize either the Woman's Auxiliary
Association or the Isabella Association.
The reason of this declaration, the com
mittee gave out, was that the law creating
the World's Fair at Chicago made it the
specific duty of the National Commissioners
to select a Board of Managers and defines
their number and duties. Therefore, the
Executive Committee cannot, they say,
recognize either of the present women's or
ganizations as part of the World's Fair
organization.

PITTSBURG- DISPATCH,
A MORE PERFECT UNION,
The Butchers Tnke Measures to Strengthen
Their National Association.
EFKCtAI. TZIEGRAM TO TIM DISPATCH.l
Cincinnati, May 28. The second day's
session, of the convention of the Butchers'
National Protective Association was a short
one, ending at 2 o'clock with a barbecue by
the local union. A communication was
received from the Butchers' Association of
England, Scotland and Ireland, advising
co-oceration between the two organizations.
It was placed on file. The matter of
appointing an organizer, whose duty it
should be to travel all over the country
organizing branches of the association, was
the most important one discussed. The
resolution provided for a sum sufficient to
pay traYeling expenses and salary of an
organizer, the amount to be raised by assess
ing the local branches. There was some
opposition to this, and the matter was finally
lelt to a committee, who will arrange the
amount to be raised and decide upon the
means of raising it.
If the original motion finally does prevail,
Chris Brokate, Secretary of the National
Association, will undoubtedly be the man
chosen. He has been six years on theSt
Louis meat inspecting department; and isa
man well posted and greatly interested in
the association. To-night a "huge barbecue
is in progress at the Highland House. There
is no regular programme, but everybody is
having a good time. Pittsburgers had their
inning yesterday.

IS a complaint from which, many suffer
and few are entirely free. Its cause
is indigestion and a sluggish liver, the
cure for which-is readily found in the
use of Ayer's Pills.
" I have found that for sick headache,
caused by a disordered condition of the
stomach, Ayer's Pills are the most re
liable remedy." Samuel C. Bradburn,
Worthington, Mass.
"After tho use of Ayer's Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
I am justified in saying that they are an
excellent cathartic and liver medicine
sustaining all the claims made for them."
W. A. Westfall, M. D., V. P. Austin
& N. W. Bailway Co., Burnet, Texas.
"Ayer's Pills are the best medicine
known to me for regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a dis
ordered stomach and liver. I suffered
for over three years from headache, In
digestion, and constipation. I had no
appetite and was weak and nervous
most of the time. By using threo boxes
of Aver's Pills, and at the same time
dieting myself, I was completely cured."
Philip Lockwood, Topeka, Kansas.
" I was troubleofor years with indi
gestion, constipation, and headache. A
few boxes of Ayer's Pills, used In small
daily doses, restored me to' health.
They are prompt and effective." W.H.

Camden, N. Y., to the St. Lawrence river;
Austin Corbin, of the Beading system, to pay

Attending the great sale of the
Pennsylvania Cloak Co.'s entire
stock was greater than we imagined.
We still hare a few choice plnms
left, and although the sale, as a
"special sale," has closed, we will
offer the balance dnring this week
at "one-third the price of the
original cost to manufacture."
Just stop to think for one mo
ment of an infant's cloak that
costs say 3 00 to manufacture,
and sold by the retail siores for
i 50 (for the manufacturer must
have his profit as well as the re
tailer), will cnt yon only 75 cents.
It is their loss, not ours, and you
are the gainer.

for now, made in latest style and
