London, Oct. 14. All sorts of disasters have lieen confidently predicted as the re-suit of the county council's sway in London, and it is useless to deny that in other quarters than the nltra conservative a great deal of anxiety is felt as to the issue of some of the measures proposed, and others which it is confidently asserted are being considered.

FOUR CRUSHED TO DEATH. A Terrible Accident on the ML Auburn Incline, Cincinnati Ctkcinnati, Oct.

15. The most appalling accident ever occurring on the inclined railway of this city happened today between I and 2 o'clock. It was on the Mt, Auburn inclined road which lies at the head of Main street and reaches to a height of between 250 and 300 feet in a space of 300 feet or less. Two cars are one on each track. They are drawn by two steel wire cables that are wound upon a dram at the top of the hill by an engine located there.

Nine passengers bad entered the car at the foot of tbe plane and a number were id the other car at the top. The passage of the ascending car was all right until it had reached the top. when to bis unspeakable horror, the faithful engineer found that the machinery would not respond and that be could not stop tbe engine. The car was arrested by the stroug bumper which stops its progress and as the engine continued all its force was ex tended on the two cables and they .1 m.v.uw uia. wiu half ot the numerous nephews who were then.

The fine fall weather of the past eixty days has been remarkably good for seeding, and farmers have taken; advantage of it. In consequence we have: the largest acreage of wheat in the history of the county.

For several days we have had good rains, which will Insure a good start for wheat to go through the winter. Crops of wheat amount to but little with ns on acc not of tio market near Many of our farmers are com pe led to their wheat to other poiuta where there are buyers.

The interstate commerce commission announced its decision todriy in the case ot Henry and Edmund B. flitrriuKton, millers and dealers in grain at Port Huron, gainst the Grand Trunk Railway company of Canada and the Chicago Grand Trunk Railway company. The opinion, written by Commissioner Scboonmaker, states that when a difference in rates on grain and (train products is unreasonable I be relation of local to through rate hould not be unduly disproportionate. It alo boldp as follows: Though rates are not required to be made on a mileage basis, nor local rates to correspond with be divisions of a joint through rate over the aauie line. Mileage is usually an element of importance, and dne regard to distance proportions should be observed in connection with tbe ot tier considerations that are material in fixing transportation charges.

When rates on theiioe of a carrier are on their face disproportionate or relatively unequal the burden is on the carrier to justify them when challenged Grain and grain 'products classified alike are presumptively entitled to equal rates, and if a difference is made by a carrier it assumes tbe burden of sustaining it by satisfactory evidence.

About 6 o'clock last evening Sheriff Griswold went into the jail as usual and let out from the cage Into the corridor three prisoners to wash, Frankliu being one.

It so happened that the Schenck contingent in the regiment was thoroughly imbued with a love of fun. and wben any mischief was afoot the Schencks were sure to have a hand iu it if a party was hauled up for discipline, one or more Schencks was sure to be of the number.

This county, one of the few which sent a Union Labor representative to the legislature, is enjoying a three-cornered political fight. The Democrat and Union Labor parties made a fusion and put a ticket in the field.

Some of the Uuion Labor people, not likiug fusion, called another convention, which is supposed to be pure Uuion Labor, and placed another ticket in the field. Aow there is "weepiug and1 wailing" in tbe Democratic camp, as their pet scheme is upset and defeat stares tbem in the face. Every effort is being made to effect a compromise, but without any considerable success attending them. Republicans are quietly jubilant, enjoying the confusion in the enemy's camp. Any demonstration of pleasure on the part of the Republicans makes so much trouble that they forbear through kindness.
