The board of Kailroad CommiSBionera have completed’ their enquiry and for warded their report ti the Erie company regarding the facts and circumstances at tending the accident which occurred to Limited Express train 5 at ’Whitehouse on June 23d. From the conclusive evidence furnished they are convinced that the switch in this instance was tampered with by some one unknown to the company, and that the accident which occurred at Scio to the same train on March 11th last was caused by a criminal displacement o f the guard rail as this was of the switch. In conclu sion they state that : “ Inasmuch as this is one of a class of accidents arising from no want of disci pline or Of organization upon the part of the company nor from defective or ineffi cient appliances, the Board makes no recommendation in the matter. The coi las moved promptly in offering a 1 for the detection of the guilty [ that the las moved prom] accident occurred) charged with the pun ishment o f crime will discharge their duti« with all that rigor that so infamoi crime demands.” S P E E D O F R A I R W A T T R A I N S .

The following article on the speed of railway trains, prepared by the Railroad Engineei'ing Journal from an examination of the official time tables for J une, while of special interest to such of bur readers as are engaged in railroading, will also, we believe, be entertaining and instructive to those engaged in other pursuits. The Journal says: “ The fastest trains now scheduled are two on the Baltimore and Ohio, which are timed to run the 40 miles from Baltimore to ’Washington in 45 minutes, without stops, making the rate of speed 53 and three-tenths miles an hour. No other train can be found which make over 40 miles an hour, and the nearest approach to it is a train on the Pennsylvania rail road, wliich runs from Jersey City to Philadelphia, making one atop, at an average speed of 48 3 miles an hour. On the opposition—Bound Brook—line the train makes the distance from Jersey City to Philadelphia at a rate of 45.9 miles an hour, without allowance for the four stops. The quickest train between Pbila- delpnia and Baltimore runs at tbe rate of 41.6 miles an hour. The fastest long distance run is that of the Chicago limited on the New York Central and Hudson River road, which averages 41.6 miles an hour from New York to Albany, and 40.6 miles from Albany to Buffalo. The cor responding train on the Pennsylvania road runs at the rate of 38 milts an hour from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. “ The trains which are timed to run over 40 miles an hour are thus found to he very few in number, and there are not many which are called upon to make more than 35 or, indeed, over 30 miles for any considerable distance. It must be remembered, however, that a train whose average speed is 40 miles an hour must make much faster time than that in parts “ What is the slowest passenger train is not easy to determine, but an express on a North Carolina line which takes nine hours to run 101) m iles-an average of 11.1 miles an hour—is a very promising candi date for the honor. ” K A I t R O A D N E W S .

The first lot of new engines that the Baldwin works made for the Beading road are top heavy, and will have to be supplied with new boilei'S. They could not make a speed of 20 miles an hour,and tbe journals were heated continually. Will M. Trealy of Hornellsville and Patrick Ryan of Elmira have been pro moted to baggagemaaters on the Erie be tween tlalamanca and Binghamton. Conductor Charles W. Abbott of El mira, was injured near Cameron on Satur day afternoon. He was standing in front of a locomotive when the cyclinder head blew off and a piece of it struck h im in the thigh, breaking the bones, -and carry ing away some of the flesh. The injury wasveiy severe and the conductor lost great quantities of blood. Susquehanna ladies are ciiculating a petition asking the Erie not to run excur sion trains on Sunday. Cars 375 and 379 of the Erie road, at tached to the Buffalo night express, are now being lighted by electricity, as an experi ment. The Faure system is used. Six crates of 23-candle battery are charged by a dynamo with sufficient electricity to light the cars for eighteen hours.

John Arnot, banker of Elmira, favors the Republican National platform and the election of Harrison and Morton. He is a son of ex-Congressman John Arnot.wlio stood by Samuel J. Randall in his fight against the Morrison free trade bill. The Arnots have always been stalwart Demo crats, and have been recognizsd as the most influential family in the southen tier of counties of the state. Arnot’s bank is one of the strongest financial institution in the state. The issue of protection or free trade is the cause of Mr. Arnot’s political change and his followers will no doubt be numbered by many hundreds.- Among the many other changes from the free trade party to the protect! mists about Elmira is James A. Ohriste, a prominent lawyer of Horselieads,Chemung county, who stood in the front rank of the Cleveland phalanx in 1884. He is a pro tectionist and says that he cannot indorse Cleveland’s Cobden Club platform. Hor ace Brees, also formerly an influential Democrat, has joined the protection army and will work for Harrison, Morton and protection. On Saturday afternoon next the Repub licans of West Chenango celebrate a pole raising by a mass meeting, which will be addressed by Andrew Place, who hereto fore has been one of the most ardent sup porters of the Democratic principles. Since Cleveland’s espousal of the British policy of free trade, Mr. Place has suffered a change of heart, and like a true American will support the principles represented by Harrison and Morton.

Skilled tradesmen, who work hard for twelve hours a day six days in the week, can only earn from 9s. 6d, to 14s. per week. Clever wood cutters average 22s. per week ; clerks in private employment get 5s. to 10s.; those in public offices, lOs. to 20a,; and even those in the higher posts get only 25s. The average Government pay to post and telegraph functionaries is 15s. 6d. per week, from which income tax has to be deducted. Women engaged in lace and bead work, if industrious, earn 4s. 6d. to 6s ! A daily governess, employed six hours every day, is paid 15s. to 18s. per month !

She was born Anna Livingston, her father being William Livingston of the New Jersey branch of that distin guished family and governor of New Jer sey in 1776. She married John Cleve Symmes o f Riverhead, L. I, They went to Sussex county soon after and settled on the Delaware river, where Symmes had large possessions. The present village of \Walpack Centre is on a portion of this During the Revolutionary war Symmes was a colonel in the American army, and after the war, under the first constitution of New Jersey, was elected the first state senator from Sussex county. He was sub- seciuently appointed one o f the judges of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, About the year 1788 he removed with his two- daughters to the Northwest territory, going to what is now North Bend, O., where he intended to lay out a town to be called Symmes, Judge Symmes was soon after appointed a judge of the Supreme Court of the Northwest territory. The Judge’s daughter married William Henry Harrison, who became the ninth president of the United States. The lonely grave along the banks of the D^aware was put m repair by General Harrison, while he was president, but it subsequently became almost obliterated.

Kalmus at No. 43 Front street, was burglarized at an early hour this morning. About 2 o’clock the family, living over the store, heard glass breaking down stairs and afterward heard noises in the store. As there were no men at home they kept quiet about half an hour until they saw a young man walk ing on the other side of the street and called to him and informed him of what they had heard. He discovered that one of the front lights in the show window had been broken out and at once notified Mr. Kalmus. A search of the premises was made and the glass was found nicely laid in the alley between Simpson’s sample room and Henneberg Brothers’ bottling rooms which is only two doors below. Under a shed in the rear of the store five empty pasteboard shoe boxes were found but Mr. Kalmus says there are more than that number gone. Just how many he cannot yet say- He IS sure he knows the thieves and if the goods are at once returned and all damages paid he will not make further trouble,but i f it is not done after a reason able time he will punish them to the ex tent of the law.

The Champaign (111.) campaign club visited General Harrison yesterday. They were 1,100 strong. They were for the most part a sturdy body of men, including many old soldiers. Among them were Tippecanoe veterans, while a majority were young men. The farming interest and Champaign, Urbana, Tolono and all the other towns in the county were repre sented. After the visitors had taken din ner they assembled in tbe lower eorrider of tbe Dennison House and were presented to General Harrison. General Harrison’s speech was unusually strong. He said : “ You come as citizens of an adjoining State to manifest, your spokesman has said, some personal respect for me, but much more, I think, your interest in the pending contention of principles before the people of the United States. It is for tunate that you are allowed not only to express yoUr interest by such popular gatherings as these, but that you will be called upon individually, after the debate is over, to settle this contention by your ballots. An American political canvass, when we look through the noise and tinsel that accompany it, presents a scene of pro found interest to the student of govern ment, The theory upon which our gov ernment is built is that every qualified elector shall have an equal influence at the ballot box wi’h every other. Our consti tutions do not recognize fractional votes, they do not recognize the right of one man to count one and a half in the determina tion of public questions. It is wisely provided that whatever differences may exist in intelligence, in wealth or in any other respect, a t the ballot box there shall be absolute equality. No interest can be truly subserved, whether local or general, by any invasion of this great principle. The work of oar fathers in constructing this government Will stand all tests of internal dissension and revo lu tion , and all tests of external assault, if we can only preserve a pure, free ballot. (Cheers.) Every citizen who is a patriot ought to lend his influence to that end by promoting necessary reforms in our election laws, and by a watching supervision of the processes of our popu lar elections. We ought to elekate in thought and practice the free suffrage that we enjoy. As long as it shall be held by our peo ple to be the jewel above priee, as long as each for himself shall claim its free exer cise and shall generously and manfully in sist upon an equally free exercise of it by every other man, our government will be preserved, our development will not find its climax until the purpose of God in es tablishing this government shall have spread throughout the world governments of the people, by the people and for the people.” (Prolonged cheers.)

A Chicago dispatch says that the big wool failure of Hall Bros,, Tuesday, was . due to the passage of the Mills bill, and that the value of the wool in the National Warehouse was, for the reason, steadily decreasing. The wool on hand is valued now at $130,000, and will be sold as speed ily as possible, CAN SA V E M O N E Y H E R E - F i'ee T r a d e a n d F r o t e c t io n W a g e s —T h e M e c h a n ic H e r e a n d A b r o a d . As an instance of the difference of wages in free trade England and protec tion America, the following is quite in structive : Mr. John Wigan a first class mechanic, had worked at his trade as. a mason in England for years, and never at any time earned more than $8 per week and never expected to earn-more.' Coming to this country last October he had no difficulty in finding immediate employment. He now earns $30 per week every week regu larly, and is not particularly anxious to get back to a free trade country. The cost of living may be higher here, but he says he can save nearly as much each week as three weeks’ wages in Eng. land would amount to.—W. O, Estes in N, Y. Sun.

The New York Tribune gave twenty- four of its broad columns Monday to a review of President Cleveland’s appoint ments, in which each appointment is measured by the rule of fitness and found sadly wanting. The objectionable records of Secretary and Supreme Judge Lamar, Attorney General Garland, Postmaster General and Secretary Vilas, Collector Hedden, Ap pointment Clerk Higgins, Naval Officer Raisin and Indian Inspector Thomas of Baltimore, and a host of other appoint ments that have provoked public indig nation and condemnation, are described in condensed, but very specific form. As marshaled and pouped by the Yn'- bune they are a formidable indictment of President Cleveland, and furnish irrefut able reasons why he should not be re elected. They show that the President has been faithless to his pledges, and m dispensing his favors he allots them by preference to the groveling and low rather than to the reputable,' and to the disloyal rather than to those Democrats who were true to the Union in the days of its triaL It is a sorry tale but the inevitable result of placing in power such a man as Grover Cleveland. —As emblems of purity, we proudly point to the azure sky and 'Tulip Soap. —Picnic baskets with hinge cover, light and neat.
