A Railroad Arcldrnt In Ohio Attended With

Tiffin (O.) dispatch: Tho Inst train on

New York nt ubout 0 o'clock yesierdny for
Chicago with live couches mid four sleep

with the enstcrn bound frclghtsevernl mile.i
cast of this city nbout 4 this morning.
The passenger train wns fifty minutes lnti
and wns running at the rate of sixty miles
an hour. Passing Republic, n small sta
tion, like u Hush, thoy rushed along n curve
a mllo west of that town when suddenly
the engineer snw tho freight trnin under full
headway within a hundred yards ol him.
He at onco applied tho brnltc anil rCYCTWd
his engine, but It did no good, nnd the next
instant tho crash came, tcleecoplng tho
nnd piling llioui upon eneb other.
To add to the hnniblc scene, fire broke out
in the smoking cur and soon spread to the
other cats. Mnny people wero killed out
right, while others wcro wedged in among
the broken cars nnd slowly consumed in
tho flumes. The screams ot the wounded
nnd dying f.Cre heartrending, but no ns
slstnnco t'ould bo given until n fnrnirr
nwukoncd by tho crash came nnd with
other ncighbora worked liko heroes to save
tho perishing. Tho ground was covered
with snow. Tho collision occurrrcd ono
mile from town und nearly hull a mile
Iroiu any dwolling nnd at 2 o'clock in tho
morning. It is related ol one Urndley, a
prominent Knight ot Labor. Iroiu Wash
ington, who, while tlio Ilnmcs were bursting
from the car windows, which had been
broken In tho crash ot the collision, thnt ho
by some means putouthls hand uud threw
h'H watch and pocket book to those whom
ho could see on thu outside. Ho was pen
ned in on tlio iusldo und wns being rousted
alive, but thoso who saw him were unnbto
to render him any relief. They could hear
tlio frenzied und horror stricken inun ns ho
madly endeavored to burnt thu barrier
that held him in his tlery prison. Tlio
charred romiiius ot tlio express messenger
consisted simply ot two thigh bones which
were ton iid in tlio debris of thu cur.
'I lie engineer uud fireman of tlio freight
rovorsod their ungino and jumped tor tho
snow bank. Thoengin"r ot tlio express re
versed his engine mm sprung to thu lett.
Tho llroiuau endeavored to get nut to thu

clone to his urushed onginu uud wns liudly
burned, hut not beyond recognition. His
body bus been placed in a neat casket and
Is now at the undertaker's ut Kcpuhlic,
awaiting the arrival ot his .relatives.
Though only nine bodies have been re
covered from the burning wreck, there must
have been ninny more thnt perished, ns
the tally ol Ihoso who escaped and thoso
wounded is tnr short of the number of tho
persons known to havo boon on thu train.
Havcrul watches found in tho ruins may
servo to identify somu ot thu victims. Fol

37ie Socialist Kot l'leated Will BU Apoier
Opinion,
New York dispi.tch: The 'socialists. In
this city are highly Indignant with the
opinions General Master Workman Pow
derly has ot them. S. E. Shevitch, editor
of tlio Volks-Zeitung, the socialist organ of
this city, said to-duy that be could not
conceive how a mnn liko Mr. Powderly,
who himself had been a member ot the
social labor part, and who thoroughly
understands the principles ot
could writo such a letter ns
socialist party, Mr. Shevitch
that body,
that. Tho
ndded, did
not believe in the employment of foiccas
an offensive measure for tho solution ol
tho labor question, although many of its
jncmbers be'ieved thrtt a phya'cii! stlllglo
us oniy u question ol time. The party
itself believed in employing force Only ns u
defensive measure, and Mr. Phwdorly being
himself a member, must havo understood
this. The paily bcl'ovcd in educating and
organizing the laboring masses, and when
the socialistic moveiiicntgaiucd such power
ns to threaten the overthrow of tho ruling
classes tho hitter would undoubtedly rcsorb
to force to put down the socialists, and
thou the strugi;'0 would come.
Mr. Shuvilth said that sir. PoW.larly re
mnrked that ho h 'd no respect, for tin se
who daunt tho nccursud red ling. II" knew
very well thnt tlio hocinlisls were thu first
among tho workiuguiun who took the
initiative in tlu labor movement, and that
they wero the only ones who consistently
refused to voto for either of the tvo polit
ical pnrties. Mr. Powderly knew that
Homo of tho most active men in the New
York labor campaign and his most ardent
K'ipporteis und admirers in the Knights ot
Labor order were socialists. The labor
movement had been principally org ini.ed
by snchilists, nnd to-day there was not it
prominent man in tlio labor movement
who wns not a socinlist in principle if lie
wns not directly nlliliated with tho party.
They all believed in the nbolition ot tho
wage system and in tho ownership ot nil
means ot production by tho general govern
ment. With regard to that part of Mr.
Powderly's letter in which ho refers to the
blood-thirsty tendencies of socialists and
anarchists, Mr. Shovitch remnrked that no
matter how much the capitalists resorted
to foico nnd shot down tho strikers, ns In
Milwaukee and St. Louis, lie, Mr. Pow
derly, said nothing, but ns soon ns forco
wns resorted to by tho laboring men Mr.
Powderly would at once coino out ith a
screed. It is worth nothing that Mr. Sho
vitch onco quoted in tlio Volks Zoilumg a
speech of Mr. Powderly's about tho shoot
ing nt strikers, in which ho said that it that
kind of tiling continued it would bo neces
sity lor labor unions to got Gatling gum
to defend themselves.

A Detailed and Comprehensive Statement of
Committee Investigations.
Washington special: Senator Aid rich
made public to-night tho report ot the
senate committee on transportation rates
to tlio sea board on the subject of railroad
freights in the United States nnd foreign
countries. The report contains tabulated
statements ol tlio progress in production
ond transportation in the principal coun
tries ot the world. Efforts who nmde by
the committee to group together tlio aver
age yearly prico ot grain nt the various
grain centres ot tho United Stati.s tor a
I series of years, and show the difference in
price per bushel at various points betwuen
theso geographical sections, which would
represent in n measure the freight nnd tho
tendency of the rates ot freight charges. It
is shown, for example Unit the difference in
the prices ot corn between Atlantic ports
' and the lakes have st-ndily djclir.iJ trom
21 cents per bushel in 1 87:1, to 10 cents
per bushel; between Atlantic porls ajid
Western river poris from It cents in 1S7I5,
to 11 cents in 1SS3.
An nttc npl was mnde by the committee
to ascertain the rates of freight from the
principal intcrmedhito points ot the sea
board, aud nlso from intermediate points
to tlio principal cities of various states.
The investigation wan conducted in the
hope ot ascertaining bicts in reg ird to tho
diffiirenco between the rates chnrgid lor
long hauls nnd short hauls, and to throw
light upon the vexed question ot a long and
a short haul. In relation to this inquiry,
thu committee says it the returns from
wh.ch thu above summitry s constricted
may tin relied on (and tin co nmittes has
been direful in selecting returns thai ap
peared on their face, correct) the rates
lor local freight are evidently levied on the
somewhat general principle of what trullle
will boar. In Miis-ntchiisetts, where termi
nals are taken into consideration, t.ho cost
of trnusporting a bushel of wheat is more
neurly equitable miles, distend of b;-ing rel
atively less, in relatively greater. In Mas
sachusetts, lu 18811, it costs .1 t! rents to
transport a btis'ielof wheat forty si.x miles;
it costs inConnee luit for transporting the
same sixty-tivo miles. 7 cents; in Pennsyl
vania, sixty miles. 4.2 cents; nnd in Ohio,
sixty tniies, 5 cents. 01 course the condi
tions may not huvcbjcn thesauri. Further
west, they find that in Kansas it coats L2
cents per bushel for transporting n bushel
ot wheat forty-six miles, ami in Massachu
setts, for the same Bsrvice, thirty-six inilos,
than in any other Btnte represented in the
BUinmnry. Still, they find tho anomaly of
n lesser rate for thirty-six miles than far
fifteen iui.es. In Pennsylvania local rates
nre higher than in Massachusetts. In Ohio,
the rate is about the sam-.! on sixty as on
ninety miles, while the long haul of 210,
2.2 cents, while California pays 5.2 per
hundred for fifty miles.
Turning from tho United Stales to for
eign countries, tho committee shows the
production and the consumption of cereals
in Europe, uud brings out the fact thnt the
increase of population bus been relatively
iiiueh greater in tlio groat grain countries
than in the grain Inlying countries. Tlu
united kingdom upiuars to huvu purchased
about two-thirds ot nil the wheat, in thu
United Stntes exported during the period,
nnd. therefore, specinl attention has been
given to England's supply of wheal. For
this purpose a tithlo was prepared, giving
a suiniiiury of tlio wheut imported into the
united kingdom of Great Rritiiin und Ire
land from various countries during the per
iod from 1 Slit; to 18 12, inclusive, und tho
decades from 18 Ul to 18S2, inclusivo,
showing thu total importations of wheat
nnd the proportions furnished by tho
United States, Rii-sia, Germany, llrilish
North Anfericu, France, Denmark and nil
other countries. In commenting on this
tublo tho committee snys:
"A glanco nt thu summnry not only
shows tho rapidity of the agricultural
growth of tho United Slates and its im
lortunce ns u food exporting country, but
nlso presents some of thueeonoinic changes
that havo occurred in Europe. In the lirsfc
period tho United Stntus supplied less than
1 per cent of the wheal imported into the
united kiiudom. In the Inst per od it sup
plied nearly 51 per cunt. From less than
1,000,000 bushels it increased, by u series
of leaps and bounds, to nbout 501!, 000,
Om) bushels. Excepting the rapid growth
ot imports of wheat from India, which does
not appear In tins table, India being classi
fied under 'all the countries,1 there is no in
stnnce in tho economic history of a growth
so rapid."
"The imports from Germiiuy lutvo de
creased from the second period nclually,
ns well ns relatively the percentage of de
crease has been stendy. sink pg from 511 to
;i: per cent, next to 21 ami 18 and lastly
to 0 per cent, The erytnl station of the
German empire, tho rap d increase of popu
lation, thu change from au agricultural
condition to that of diversified industry,
all suggest themselves iim reasons for this
decrease. In Germany thu population is
overtaking the food producing capacity ot
the country."
