Intimating that each car will hold mi an

will be needed to export this grain. A train

A BLUNDER
HURLS FOUR SOULS TO ETERNITY.
Turning a Switch In the Path of a Faa
E press Train.
Syrnrnso. N. Y., November 3. An acci
dent, most horrible In detail, occurred on the
Delaware, Lackawntiannd Western Itailroad
at It M-k t lit, a station about three miles
south of this city, through the undue olll
riousne.s of a boy telegraph operator by the
name of M. A. Clark. Tlio necident
occurrisl at about 5:40 o'clock this afternoon,
and the blundering of the operator resulted
in the death of four persons, the Injury of i
many others and the destruction of several
thousand dollars' worth of the rolling stock.
The New York and l'acilio day express,
duu in Syrarusr at 5:50, passed Koek Cut at
5:10. Il does not stop there, but passes the
station at the usual rute of speed, which is
lo mill an hour.
Itelore the rxpreii was due at Ibirk Cut
two coal trains from Syracuse had arrived at
the station and had been run in on a switch
on the north side of the main track. The en
gine on the lirst train that went in on the
switch Mood pretty welt up toward the east
end of the side track. Ftigliircr Janus
Doyle, of Si raiiton. of the coal train, was
in the cab of his engine waiting for the ci
press to pass, when be would pull out.
Michael Tirrnry, a brakeman, was also In
the cab cleaning his lantern. The second
coal truin was behind Doyle's, and about 7't
feet from the caboose of the forward tram.
Clark, the os'rator, was In his room In
the (ta'iou. a few rods east ol the switch. He
was on the lookout for the express. The
latter was on time, and as the hcndlif. lit of
its engine came itito view it lla-hed through
'lark's mind that the switch was open and
if it was not closed the express would dash
into the coal train. No sooner did the
thought enter his brain than bedashed nut
of the door, rushed to the switch and swung
it over. Then he reali."d. but bio late, bis
mitake.
A" the switi h was turned the express
sw ung onto the side track, and the crush of
the engines sm,r the result. Like monsters
they ground eaeti other to pieces. The noise
of the colli-iou was lost in the cries of the
passengers w ithin the coaches of theexpri-ss
train. 'I he fireman and engineer of tarh
engine were caught in the wreck and ground
to deal h. Their nanus were:

Cortland, and Josiab Kunlnill, of O.-wego.
All were more or h-sa injured, though not
fatally. Michael Tiernvy was also badly
hurt. All the passengers were badly shaken
up, though only one was Injured seriously.

court in the original package case of II. M.
VauVliet, of Iowa, was filed today. It ilii
cusses all ipu -tioiis raised uml extends over
more than 1 1 large typewritten pages. The
court holds that the act of coiigri-ss uud laws
of the State are vali I. Following ure some
of the salient points in the opinion.
"I'.y the le t of ("ingress, the right w hich
the iniportc! previously enjoyed, of soiling
liquor in the ori.ri.ia'i package in the Stats
w here the transit ended, regardless of the
lawsof such State, is taken uway, the act
declaring that the lioil ir 'shall upon its
arrival in such state or Territory, ho nub
jectcd to ths operation ol the laws of such
State.' "
Alter citing the until rities and the net
of coiigniis, the opinion proceed c. ''It
w ill be observed that by the terms of the
net the original p:u kage 'upon arrival' in
the S:a!e is put on the same footing with li
quors produced in the State. Now, thero
never was any ipns-ti m that the laws of
Iowa prohibited the su'e of liquor produced
in the Mate, and that the laws for this pur
pose was constitutional. These laws were
in full force at the date of the passing of the

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Eiormoxta Yolum of Eichanyea
Throughout tha Country
New York, October 31. U.O. Dun A Co.'t
weekly review of trade aays: The approach
of the elections has cansed some slackening
of trade at runny points, which is obviously
tuporary. At a few cities, notably St.
I-o'nthero I observed reaction from the
i'ctivi'T which prevailed just before the
I'-Hviaritr went into effect, demand for the
j I'tw fiaving been satisfied by dealings in an
ticipation ol that measure. Hut nt nearly M
cities trade continues remarkably large, and
tho paynien, through all clearing-houses
outside of New York for the mon'h of OcU
ber will probably bothc largest ever recorded
i any ruont'i, exceeding those of last Oeto-
tit by about 15 per cent., nu t thrso of last
May, u'lifc'h were I.!,037,0ili,no0, and the
lurgi-st ever known, hy about 10 per cent.
Foreign trado for the month will certainly
prove much the largest ever known, and the
great industries, are nil unusually active.
UeHjrta as to collections th;oilghout the
country ore mori satisfactory. There is
scanxdy a mention of complaint or tardiness.
Tlm money markets are about ns last rexrt
cd, though firmer, with a sharp demand nt
lloston, linn but easier nt l'hiladelphia, still
tight at Chicago and scarce nt T to 8 per cent,
at S3'. Louis, somewhat stringent with largu
demand at Cleveland and Detroit, strong a'.
7 r cent, at Milwaukee, tight at Savannah
and with good demand nt Denver, but easy
at knnsas City, and easier in spite of the de
niainl at New Orleans, The rate, nt New
Yolk have varied widely. Tho demand for
the interior tloes not cruse. ,
liiston notes increasing capacity by the
largest woolen mills; iiiHiiufacturvrs are pay
ing advanced "ices for wool. Hides are
lower, but le.it her very linn, riiiladelphiu
repirts wool very linn and tlie trade healthy
and promising. A greater trade than ever
before In stationery, printing and leather
prulucls. At Chicago ns cots of grain fall
below last year's, and hides and woo a third,
bulcure I meats and ilressej J-ccf show i:i
crclse. The dry goods and clothing trade
sura-s last year's, and the shoe trade at
well, though lately less ncti!'. St.
l.ol.is linds trade erecptibly weaker,
w lh retail trade fairly active, but feverish.
( lfvclaud notes good trade except in '.loth

Irale and active manufacturing; Milwaukee
Muuly trade, improving with cool w ealber;

SIEZURE OF PORK.
The American Hog; Still an Unwelcomo
Oueat in Germany.
Ilerlin. November 2. Ten thousand kilos
df American pork, unlawfully imported into
Cermuny by way of Holland, liuve been
Confiscated ut the custom houses in l'.niericb
and Ai La Chapclle, and will bo sold to
morrow, ufler being souked In kerosene, to
liiuketheui unsalable and unlit for coiisuuii
t on. This is done in spite of tbs K'lurin taut
that hundreds of thousands of the poor in
this country are unable to buy meat
on account of tho existing high prices.
This question is becoming of vital import
ance in this country, und is Jikely to lead to
important consequence! even in the domain
of ixilitict. Uuvuriu, Suxony, ltuden und
Wurte m burg, which together command the
same number of votes as Prussia in tlie
IUindetruth, have combined to sanction the
importation of Austriun und Kussiau incut
at soon as the Purliuinentury session opens.
This action on their part is likely to compel
tho resignation of the Minister of Agricul
ture, Herr Lucius, in vlow of his notorious
alliance with the partisans of a high turilt
on meat and breadstuff.

Lieutenant llaert says that Stanley's stute.

of tho court martial's fairness. ' The rii!

Stanley's Insinuation that Sanga wai im.

"It is jierfoctly truo that Stanley himself
