Fatal Collision. Baltimore, June 12. The particulars of the accident onthe Baltimore and Ohio railroad this morning are furnished by officials of the company at Camden station.

' ing with an excursion party to Mount Vernon. Both trains were in motion, the engines crushing into each other. Four persons were instantly killed and . eighteen wounded all on the excursion train.

Deplorable Case of Poverty. The Miner's Journal of Pottsvillesays: The other day a man entered a grocery store on Centre street and asked to be trusted to a sack of flour. As he owed a large bill already he was refused further credit. He begged for it, but was still refused. Going out he picked up a sack that was near the door, put it under his arm and took it home. The grocer swore out a warrant against him, and had it placed in the hands of a constable. The officer went to the house, and on being admitted found the family sitting around the sack and eating the dry flour with spoons. Without saying a word he re turned to the grocery and offered to pay for the flour himself, stating at the same time what he had seen. The grocer would not take the money tendered him, but made up a good sized basket of pro visions and sent them to the poor man's house. The man has since found employment. Great Destruction of Property by a Hurricane. Springfield, Mass., June 14. The covered bridge over the Connecticut river between Northampton and Hadley, was blown over by a hurricane, accom panied by a severe thunder shower, at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. An uncom pleted bridge of the Massachusetts Cen tral railroad wus also demolished. There were six teams on the bridge when it went over, and Mrs. Sullivan, of Old Hadley, was instantly killed. Sheriff Euos Cook, of Hadley, was cut badly on the head and William Smith, of Am herst, had his shoulder dislocated. Two horses have been taken from the ruins alive. The bridge was 1,114 feet long and the newest portion of it has been built about fifteen years. Numerous to bacco shede have also been blown down by the gale. The path of the wind seemed to be ten miles in length and one in width and was in a northwesterly direction. tT The body of Julia Huppuch, n beautiful young lady, aged twenty years, who has been missing for two weeks past, was found in the canal at Buffalo, N.

C3T Oliver Snyder's house at Coates ville was struck by lightning, tearing off shingles, and following the waterspout down to the kitchen, where Mrs. Sny der was knocked senseless. It then split a post on the porch, knocking down two children, but did not fire the house. tg Lydiu, Sherman, the prisoner, who recently escaped from a Connecticut penitentiary, has been recaptured. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Juno 12, 1877. Doubtless Secretary Sherman foresaw the opposition his financial policy would meet aud fortified himself accordingly. It is quite sujiposable that he has beou pre paring for his present position and under takings for many months or even years. He is a far-sighted man and firm, almost to obstinacy, and having once put his hand to the plow he cannot he turned back. Spe cie Resumption is his hobby but he is also working for a reduction of the publio debt and several other Bohemes. Much fault is found with his reform hobby but be pro fesses to have only the country's good at heart, and once in a while an approving word comes to him through the press, like the following from a New York daily. "Secretary Sherman's financial policy is heartily approved by the business element of the State and no complaint is heard ex cept from people who are in debt and want more money to lloat them out again. Mr, Townsend is warmly in favor of Secretary Sherman's scheme to issue a currency bond which can he placed easily iu this country and will be prefered by farmers and others who are now placing all their surplus fn savings banks. Business is better than it has been for six years and sales of mer chants are greater." It ia hard to understand why so much dissatisfaction is felt concerning the effort to pay off the National debt It is argued that t:ere is injustice and oppression la any attempt to pny move than n reasonable in terest on the debt, letting the principal en tirely alone, while there is no call or occa sion for H, while yot our wounds received in battle are scarcely healed and while fiubllo industries have hardly recovered rom the paralyzatlon inflicted upon them by the war. Some hnve compared the pay ment of the publio debt now to A person who having been accommodnted with funds by a friend who stood In need of the money himself when he parted with it, immedi ately deprives himself of the money obtain ed to keep up his business in order to re fund the loan, though obtained from a source able aud willing to treat it as an investment asking only a rcasonnblo Interest. On tho other bnnd it Is thought that it ought to be a matter of National thanksgiving to know that from June 1870 to June 1877 the publio debt has been diminished over (30, 000,000, and during the last month nearly 17,000,000 have been paid on it. During the war Arlington Heights situa ted just across the Potomac from Washing ton and at that time the estate and homo stead of Gen. Robert E. Lee, was confisca ted by the Government and dedicated as a burying ground for fallen soldiers whose bones should he gathered from tho various battle fields. A contract was made with certain parties to do the work and although it has beeu said that they did it only too thorough. It is now one of the most beau tiful cemeteries in the country, and, for ev ident reasons, by far the most interesting. Joking is out of place in such a connection but I suppose it is a fact that because of the contractors being paid by the load (in gathering the remains) and not being spec ially versed in anatomy, we strewed flowers Decoration day, and honored with equal respect, the bones of man and mules " ly ing in this beautiful cemetery in the com mon commission that they both fell in the defense of their country." All that mat ters little, however, the place is a sacred one and considerable solicitation is felt lest Oen. O. W. C. Lee (George Washington Curtis the Lee heir) should succeed in the suit of ejectment which he has brought against the government for the possession of Arlington. There are many of the dead of both armies interred there, besides sev eral thonsnnd negroes, who died during the war. It. is revolting to think of dis turbing those bones, hut a man would hard ly want them in his door-yard and orchard. So, if Gen. Lee is entitled to the estate, the Government must pay him his price for it or submit to tho disturbance of over six teen thousand graves of our soldiers. Nevor was America treated with such honors abroad as Gen. Grant is receiving. Alrendy he has dined with the Duke of Wellington aud numbers of other Dukes aud Duchesses, Counts, Marquises, Lords nnd Ladies, and all sorts of titles. The Prince of Wales has given him private audience, aud the Quceu invited him to all the Court entertainments. He attended service at Westminster Abbey on Sunday, and listened to Dean Stanley, who, right in his sermon mentioned Gen. Grant's pres ence and position, calling him by Dame and welcoming him iu England's name, " As a sign and pledge that tho two nations of the Anglo-Saxon rule are still one in heart and spirit." Verily praise is sweet to the heart of man, nnd no wonder the now free and easy ex-President expresses him self as well pleased with "furrin lands." M. M. W. Miscellaneous News Items. W Charles II.
