TRADE STILL HESITATING. Bwtta&s Slightly Inclined in tin Soofi and Northwi»«t. R. G. Dtrs & Ca's weekly icview Of trade says: * Tlice is not much , change in the condi­ tion of trade, but ther.i is a little more dullness at the South and in the Northwest, with 11 little more stringency in money markets and complaint about, slpwness of collections. In perioral, business is still hesitating. The largercauso is undoub ed- 1f the partial loss of crops, which has left a jgreat many farmers withaut means for the usual purchases. At the same time the collapse of tho real-estate l o ni Which so wildly inflated prices through- Out the West and South has affected business more than has yet been realized. To thi-5 influence is added at the South the extremely low prl -e of cotton, which affects farmers the nioro because so many of them , tried, by holding back their crop. t > force a higher level of prices. There has been an advance in the average i rices of all com­ modities, amounting to half of 1 per cent, for the week, but it has been almost exclu­ sively in products of which crops were short. The business failures during the last sevon days number 299, as against 297 last week. For the corresponding week of last year the figures were 301.

It was the fast train between Chicago and Cincin­ nati, which was coming down a steep grade into tho town when the frame­ work of the engine--No. 4£4. In charge of W. W. Bartlett and Noah Dunn, fire­ man--broke and derailed every car. The cars caught fire, but the blaze was quick­ ly extinguished. The scenes about the wreck were most heartrending, the cries of the unfortunate victims mingling with the shouts of the rescuers, who were quickly on hand and did heroic work. As fast as the injured were taken from the wreck they were carried to houses near at hand, where every attention was^iven them until arrangements could be made for their removal to St. Stephen's Hos­ pital at Richmond, and all that could possibly be moved were taken there at once. NE^R LOS Angeles, Cal., many persons have lost their lives in the floods. The worst of the flood was probably at Downey and vicinity. The Old and New San Gabriel Rivers broke from their banks and ran together, and made a great inland sea six to ten miles wide and seventeen miles long.

The display moved the multitude, a hundred thousand persons gazing on the spcctaclo in solemnity and silence. Per­ haps the most impressive feature of the grand display wa$ the appearance of the remnant of the battle-scarred legions who in their primo and vigor "marched to the sea." To-day they are old and gray, but the old spirit prevailed. Some walked as erect as tho day they left At­ lanta, many were stooped by the weight of years, others hobbled on crutches or limped painfully along behind the bier of their beloved commander. The old guard mourned but never faltered. Other trains had arrived loaded to their utmost capacity, and about the Union Depot there was a great crush, cfctae tho caisson on which retted the body of General Sherman. The second division, thongh leas mar­ tini in appearance, presented a picture no less impressive. The Loyal Legion was in the van, followed by the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. The third division consisted of Grand Army posts. Sons of Veterans and allied orders. The old warriors turned out strong, fully 3,000 boing in line. They came front Illi­ nois, Iowa, jiansas ana over half from Missouri. Behind the Grand Army was a small body of men that attracted universal at- tion. In the center was a banner with the words: "Southern Historical Society." It was the ex-Confederate Society of St. Louis. The members, prominent citizens of that city, marched with bowed heads behind the man who, of all others, did most to overthrow the cause for which they fought and lost. The fourth division was tinder com­ mand of Governor Francia and was made np entirely of militia. The imposing cortege reached the cemetery. The bottom of the newly dug grave was covered with evergreen and mosses. The American flags lined the sides--flags that had a history. The floral offerings were most magnificent. They came from all parts of the country. The soldiers formed in line east of tho grave, while the family and friends of the General immediately surrounded it The eight sergeants transferred the "7* , 1 MAJOR GENERAL SHERMAN IN 1865. while between that point and Washing­ ton avenue the sidewalks were utterly inadequate to accommodate the crowd, which spread into the streets and left only sufficient room for the movements of the troops. The gathering was, how­ ever, very dissimilar to those on the festive occasions. Nearly all present wore badges commemorative of the dead hero, a deep stillness prevailed and all were impressed with tho solemnity of the occasion. Tho division npon which most interest Centered was tb«v first, composed of the famous Seventh Cavalry, under Colonel Forsythe, and the artillery and infantry of the regular army. The flutter of tho gay red and white swallow-tailed guidons and the flash of the swords and yellow capes of the troopers as they wheeled into Pine street in double columus of companies,every horse keeping alignment and proper distance, would have called forth thundering applause on an occa­ sion le9s solemn. But the crowd never for an instant forgot the occasion that had caused it to gather. The grim can» non, with their large, fine horses and their perfectly equipped artillerymen, excited scarcely less interest than the cavalry. The recent Indian troubles in the Northwest had sharpened public in­ terest, and the troops who had seen ser­ vice shone resplendent in the eyes of the spectators. The bugle corps of the Seventh Cav­ alry led the procession, being preceded ' casket from the caisson to the bank cl the grave. In the shelter of an adjacent tomb Father Sherman, the dead soldier's favorite son, hurriedly donned his priest- t-JftUJII HHI f) / FROM THE CAISSON TO THB GRAVB. ly vestments and prayer book in hand, returned to the head of the grave. When the bearers placed the casket on the supports above tho grave the bugles blew a call and the band played the first few WIFE I 4 * *% -- \ THB SHERMAN FAMILY LOT IN CALVARY CEMETERY. by a platoon of police, who cleared the way. General Merritt, grand marshal of the procession, and his aides, some twenty officers of the regular army, rode at the head of Custer's cavalry. They wore side a/ms, heavily bound in black. The thinned ranks of companies B and K J. bars of Pleyel's Hymn. As the sound died away Father Sherman removed his hat, and, opening his prayer book, began the impressive prayers for the repose of the soul of the dead. When the service began tho battalion of infantry stood at present arms facing the little group about tho grave. In the midst of the services a hoarse, low voice gave the command "Carry arms--order arms" in quick succession, and the sharp click of the musket barrel and the ring of the butt as it struck the ground gave singu­ larly impressive accentuation to the solemn words of tho young priest. Fatheci Sherman concluded with the in­ vocation: "May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amenl" Then, in quick succession, three vol­ leys rang out over the grave and echoed from the surrounding hills. Three sal­ vos from the artillery, which was sta­ tioned outsido tho cemetery* followed, and the funeral ceremonies of the last of the great Union captains was over. -- - - C I ? - GENERAL SHERMAN AT SHILOH. of the caval# showed the havoc at Wounded Knee, but the six troops show­ ed 400 men In line.

BOTH branches of Congress got down to work on the 21st. The sundry civil appro­ priation was completed by the Senate Com­ mittee on Appropriations and reported to the Senate, to be considered the 23d. A House-bill correcting an error In the act for the construction of a bridge at South St. Paul, Minn., WHS passed. Tho Nicaragua Canal bill received considerable attention, ana a correction was made giving the e*ti- co?i SMM.OOO, instead of $100v- 000,000. The bill went over without action. Benate bill authorizing the building of a railroad and wagon bridjre across the. Ar- kansas River at Little Rock was passed. The conference report on the navy appro- prlation bill was presented and agreed to. In the House, tho Senate bill, fixing the salaries of the United States District Judges, was passed. It provides that the salaries of the several Judges of the Dis­ trict Courts of the United States shall be at the rate of $5,000 per annum. The House then began consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. ON the 23d but little business was done by either house. The Senate held an even­ ing session, to discuss the sundry civil bill, and the amendment making temporary ap­ pointment of architects, skilled draughts­ men, and civil engineers in thi office of the Supervising Architect, which had been under discussion, was agreed to. In the House, Mr. Perkins presented, and the House adopted, the confer­ ence report on the bill amending the act providing for the allotment of lands in severalty to Indians. The House then went into committee of the whole, notwith­ standing the antagonism of the members of the Committee on the District of Columbia, on the deficiency appropriation bill (Mr. Payson of Illinois in the chair). An amend­ ment was adopted directing the accounting officers of the Treasury not to withhold the pay of any retired Officer of the army retired prior to the act of March 30, 1860, notwithstanding his acceptance of a diplomatic or consular peei+iOn. [This amendment has direct reference to General Sickles.] The postoffice appropriation bill was passed. At an evening session, the House. In committee of the whole, consid­ ered the immigration bill, and was ad­ dressed in favor of the measure by Mr. Covert, of Now York. WHEN, in considering tho sundry civil bill on the 24th. the Senate reached the World's Fair paragraphs. Senator Farwell moved to so amend tho bill as it camo from the Sen­ ate Committee on Appropriations as to increase the whole amount appropriated for salaries and expenses from §40,000 to 8120,000. The motio I was lost, however, and the appropriation remains at $10,000. The Senate confirmed ex-Governor Foster as Secretary of the Treasury. The direct tax bill was passed by the ilouso, after con­ siderable discussion. The bill has already passed the Senate, and now needs the Pres­ ident's signature to become law. The ship­ ping subsidy bill got another backset, and it is n:>w exceedingly doubtful if its advo­ cates will bo able to get It before the House again this session. THE immigration bill was taken up on the 25th. The bill as passed directs the Secretary of tho Treasury to provide rules for inspection along the Canadian frontier so as not to impede travel between the two countries, and provides that nothing in the act shall be deemed to exe'udo per­ sons convicted of political offenses, notwith­ standing such offenses shall bo denominated as felonious, infamous crimes, a turpitude of the laws of the land from which the immigrants come or by the court convict­ ing them. The clauses relating to the ad­ mission of other classes of convicts and ol paupers and incurables are even more stringent than.in the existing law. Senator Gorman announced tho death of his col­ league in the Senate as soon as the journal was read and offered resolutions expressing the great sorrow with which the Senate had heard of the death of Mr. Wilson. The Senate, out of respect, adjourned until the following day. IN the Senate, on the 25th, the House amendment to the direct tax bill was pre­ sented and was laid on the table for the present. Among the papers presented and referred wore numerous protests from the riorthwest portion of Nebraska against the neglect of tho Government in the matter ol disarming the hostile Sioux and asking pro­ tection from Indian depredations. The sundry civil bill was then taken up and its consideration resumed. All the amend­ ments were agreed 'to, and the bill was then passed. The legislative, executive, and judicial appropriation bill was taken up. In the House thefe were less than twenty-five members in attendance. The Senate bill authorizing the construction ol a railroad bridge at Little Rock, Ark., was passed; also the Senate bill for the rellei of the assignees of the late John Roach. SHOCKING DISASTER ON PANHANDLE ROAB. TNfc , •< 'T" A Passenger Train Becomes Deralled md PVtnges Over an Embankment, Fear Persons Being Killed and Mmay Injured, Two of Them Fatally. Four lives crushed out and thirty per­ sons mangled and maimed was the feai^ fnl result of a railroad wreck on the Panhandle at Hagerstown, a little Umn sixteen miles from Richmond, Ind. The fast express train which runs between Chicago and Cincinnati, while going at a high rate on the down grade before reaching Hagerstown, was derailed by a portion of tho framework of the engine falling under the wheels. Every car was thrown off the track, but the fear­ ful momentum carried the train on. The engineer applied the break and reversed tho lever, but all was unavail­ ing to check tho onward rush. Right ahead was a deep cut canal, which was crossed by a little bridge. The en- gino clung to tho. roadbed, but tho swinging cars, forcing to one side, miss~ ed the crossing and plunged over the embankment, into the fifteen-foot cnt. The heavy coaches and the sleeper were piled up in a heap, the struggling pas­ sengers, crushed and bruised, being caught in the wreck. Almost before a hand had been lent to help them, the smoking car burst into flames, and it seemed as if the horrors of fire were to be added to the already dreadful cal­ amity. Soon the passengers who were not dis­ abled struggled forth and these with the trainmen set to work to take out the dead and those of th'e wounded who wero unable to help themselves. By stren­ uous efforts all were removed from tho shattered coaches before the flames had gained sufficient headway to stop tho rescuers. Three of those in the sleeper were taken out dead, and of the wound­ ed one survived bu£ for a few hours. Two others of the wounded received fatal hurts, while of the others at least ten are badly injured. The cars were at one time all off the track, but strangely all did not go over the embankment. The smoker first turned on its side, and the day coach and parlor car Eugenia, the smoking compartment of which contained all the killed, breaking dway from the smokln? car, but holding together, rolled over twice in their descent of the embankment. Meanwhile The smoker's Revenge. A Parisian paper recently chronicled this true tale of "The Smoker's/Re­ venge." /T Scene: A railway compartment. "Madame, do you object to smoking ?" No reply. The question is repeated with a similar result. Thinking the lady deaf, the male passenger made a pretense of lighting his cigar. "Do it if you dare!" exclaimed Ma­ dame Potin, with an unearthly gleam in her eye. "Just to &ee what'll happen, here goes I" he said, stung by the lady's tone. And he applied the match. The lady bounced from the seat, and, snatching the cigar from his lips, threw it out the window. "There is a compartment for smok- MBwjl&he hissed. rile gentleman, quite taken back, thought it best to be quiet, while secretly bemoaning his lost havana. Five minutes' silence. Madame Potin flushed with her triumph. Suddenly the lady's muff appeared instinct with life, and presently a little poodle put out his head to take a breath of air. The gentleman arose, smiling affably, seized the little dog by the tail and tenderlv dropped it out of the carriage window, saying in dulcet tones. "Madame, there is a compartment for dogs!"--lllus-, trated American. He Appreciated Courtefey. Mr. Kulpepper, an epicurean smoker, was traveling on the railway with a passenger from Berlin who was smok­ ing a horrid cigar. As all signs and hints proved unavailing, Mr. Kulpep­ per had recourse to an oft-tried experi­ ment. Bising from his seat he politely said: "Will you allow me to open the win­ dow?" At the same time he "quite accident­ ally" brushed against the hand of his fellow passenger, causing him to drop his cigar. Mr. Kulpepper had the ad­ ditional misfortune to step on it, and said in alarm: "Oh! I beg a thousand pardons. A1 low me to offer yon one of mine, thej are not half bad." "With your kind permission," an­ swered the Berliner, quite pleased. He took three cigars out of the case pre­ sented to him, and put them into his pocket, saying: "These are a first-rate brand; IT smoke 'em on Sundays." , And with that he proceeded to lighl another one of his own..-- IPuesst Nachrichten.

THE CRASH AT THE CULVERT. ihe derailed baggage car had hung to ihe engine and away beyond the other lars struck a guard at the road crossing, again mounted tho track and escaped almost uninjured, but the engine, though holding the rail, was about as badly wrecked as the parlor car and day loach. In leaving tho track the cars tore down the telegraph poles and it was almost impossible to get any accurate news of the accident until the trains ar­ rived at Richmond with the dead and wounded. The wrecking crew was got­ ten out as soon as possible, carrying sur­ geons and assistance of every kind, and & second train was sent up at 6 o'clock with a large number of people.
