The train crow consisted of Engineer Scott , Fire man Fisher , Conductor May , express mes senger , J. Green , the baggageman.

No blame is attached to the train crew , ns the accident was caused "by yesterday's heavy ruin , which undermined the tresilo work. Peculiar Impeachment Case. NKI.SOX , Neb. , April 14.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tin : Bii.l ; I cannot ro- nombcr a parliament In connection with hlch so many dreadful pcr.sonal scandals ave occurred as that now sitting. Within u ew months wo have had exposures which . 'iilucd Piirncll , n minor member of the mhi- stry has escaped by the skin of hU teeth , and ow warrants nro out against an Irish con- .ervativo . and an English liberal on charges ifnmous in character. What Is England coming to , where nro its morals gone ) Fortunately It is not necessary o condemn the nation for the crimes of few , iut the Increasing number of great scandals ovculs a state of affairs which must inspire o with very unpleasant reflections. The Irish conservative is Edward do tabuln , a nonentity in the house of lonimons , where ho was not often ecu and but llttlo known. Ho Is of the extremist sect of ornncomcn , n .on . of a Wesloynn minister , educated at the Belfast mercantile academy and formerly grand master of an orange Instltu- Ion of Belfa t. Ho is now deputy ml master for Ireland. Ilo represents Kast Belfast in parliament , but will never again jo scon In the house of commons. Ho is charged witli ono of the most abomi nable of crimes , and before warrants were issued for his arrest abundance of evidence , vas obtained proving that tie had carried on ; ils vile practices over u long scries of years. Hemcmberlng that similar crimes were raced some time ago to very inllueiitiul cir cles in Dublin , it is not surprising hat the Catholic and homo rule parties nro disposed to make the moat out of the now exposure of n liberal member. Captain Ver- icy is charged with having been guilty of a conspiracy to lure English girls to the conti' nent for felonious purposes. He , too , has disappeared from the house , and is not likely to bo seen again. Iio Is a retired captain In the ro.val navy , served In the Crimea nno Indian mutiny , is chairman of the quarter sessions , n member of the London county council , and in politics a Gladstonlan. As the balance goes , neither can crow over the other , but tha disgraceful scandals cannot fait to make a deep Impression on the public mind. Do Coblain ofllclally describes him self , in the parliamentary guide , a man with strong democratic sym pathies. Democracy will presently show pcoplo of his description that its sympathies are not with the members of parliament who think they can sot the laws of God and man at dclianco without suffering , and there will bo an explosion which may tend to purify nnd-improvo the doba3ed-moralwtone < prova- ' lentin many sections of English society.

A military salute was llrod nud a carriage drawn by four horses placed at the disposal of the party and they were shown points of Interest. A public reception was held , and Colonel Henderson delivered an address of welcome , to which the president responded. Ho said in part : "Iain glud to know that deep devotion to that cuuso which manifested itself in the early contributions of Tennessee to iho armies thut went to the defense - fenso of the homes of the northwest abides still in these valleys and crowns with Its glory and lustro every hilltop of the Allo- ghoulea. I beg to say to you that who ever supposes Ihoro Is unvwhwa In iho northern states any Jealousy of your great material progress wholly misconceives the friendly heart of the people of the north. It is my wish , us It Is the wish of all with whom I associate in political life , thai the streams ol prosperity In the south may run bunk full. All llvo In a government of law. All may safely differ in polities ; wo mav safely divide upon a question as to what shall bo law , but when n law is once enacted no community can safclj dlvida on the question of Implicit obcdlunn to the law , I may not ohooso as president what laws I will enforca and a cltUon nuij not cheese which laws ho will oboy. Upon this broad principle our Institutions rest , therefore my appeal everywhere Is to boh the law In veneration and reverence ; wo have no other king.
