The engineer of the express supposed that the accommodation was out of the “block,” at the rate they were running, and he had barely time to reveise his engine and with his fireman jump to the ground before they crashed into the rear of the train preceding lAxem. They were badly shaken up but others wise uninjured. Three cars caught lire and were burned up, TEE OPERATOR’S FAULT. Uenerel Superintendent Nelson gave the following account of the accident: “The ves tibule train v.^as due here a t 7:10 and the ac commodation a t 7 :05.

It was drawn by a Strong loco motive in charge of Engineer Coaldey and an experienced engineer in the employ of the Strong company named George Magee. Just before the train reached College Hill junction it rounded a curve and the engineer saw the accommodation a short distance ahead of him. Coakley slacked up the train and then jumped and escaped with slight injurias. Magee remained on the engine until it struck the rear car of the accommodation train, but was not hurt. \ The express train was not damaged in the least and with the exception of Coakley, no one was injured.

A n O ld Man, H is Baugrbter and GranH- daug:hter D r ink O x a lic A c id. B u ffalo , Jan. 20.—Frank Feierly, a Ger man shoemaker, aged 74, who is a very hard drinker, his daughter, Mrs. Meyers, a widow, and her daughter, 10 years old, were found in their residence yesterday forenoon almost dead from the effects of poison. Doctors worked over them for several hours and finally brought the little girl to consciousness. She said her grandfather came home Sat urday night, drunk, and started to beat her mother with a loiig club. Hei- grandfather, she said, beat her mother very often. In the morning sh® awoke and her grandfather and her mother were standing near her. The former had a coffee-pot in his hand, and jKJuring out some of the coffee gave it to her to drink. She did so, but, while she was drinking her mother cried. Her mother then took th© cup and drank son>c of the coffee, and soon after they both became very sick and vomited. This was all she could remember until aroused by the efforts of the doctors. The police a t once took possession of the coffee pot, which still h ad some of the coffee in i t The appearance and the odor of the fluid was perfectly natural;nothing whatever could be detected that would make anyone suspect the presence of pois»m. It is thought, however, that the poison used was oxalic acid, which Feierly was in the habit of using on his leather. The old man and his daughter were worked over by surgeons and physicians, but all attemi>s to restore them to perfect coaseiou-sness failed up to a late hour, and it is feared there- is small hope of their recovery.

No action was taken. The house devoted almost the entire day to a discussion of the different bills in regard to the world’s fab* site, but nothing was ac complished. The sessions of the house on Friday and Saturday were mostly devoted to the consid eration of minor raattei-s and nothing of gen eral interest was transacted. In the senate Monday the feature was the discussion of President Harrison’.s vie-ws on federal electoral reform by Senators Pas- coe of Florida, and Chandler of New Hamp shire. The debate was chiefly devoted to bit ter personalties, Mr. Pasco alluding to Mr. Chandler’s connection with the Florida elec tions in 1876, and Mr. Chandler reflecting on Mr. Pascoe’s veracity and honor.

J., Jan. 21.—Governor Ab^ bett, in his message to 'ih® legislature says: “The b e ^ sentiment ®f th® country in a2I> the states liAtnands ballot reform and honest elections. “Th® safeguards which the law has thrown < around the ballot hav® been found iiisufllcient^. to prevent fraud, the intimidation ,o< th®,^ voter and the corrupt use of money in deO- tions. Th® oaths of election officers hav®. not always prevented them from tampering with the ballot box and receiving aM counting fraudulent votes. . The great mas8.of election officers are honest and conscientio^is in.th» disdhargeof their^duty, but there are a f e ir who will violate their oaths of <^ce and run the risk of punishment to change oor-attempt to change the result of elections. “There are . citizens entitled to th® ballot who, notwithstanding the penalties of th® law, deliberately sell their vote® or demand money for voting in accordance 'wii^ their political convictions. Men of high standing contribute large sums of money which in many instances is used by d^reputable party, “gents to bribe voters or election officers. 'he penalties of the law seem impotent to stop these practices. This condition of af fairs is an evil that every honest citis^n should use his best energies to stamp out by radical measures. Different systems and modifications of systems have been tried in different countries. The experience of t h ^ commimities enable us to exercise an in telligent judgment in securing legislation in our state which ■will give us pure elections expressing only the honest sentiment of the masses.” The governor presents for th© consideiratlon of the legislature the conclusion he has reached after the. most careful investigation and study of what has been WTitten on tho subject and of what has been accomplished under the laws of other states and countries. He says the highest aim o f. all parties is good government and this cannot be secured •witii- out honest elections. The safety of the state, pure government, the *peii>etaity of free in stitutions all rest upon tbajmritycff the I m II o L .. WALKER BLAINE DEAD.
