TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE
THREE MEN INSTANTLY KILLED
ELEVEN WOUNDED.

A most terrible railroad catastrophy, at
tended with the killing ofthree and the maim-
ing of eleven persons, occurred on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, on Monday night,
about nine O'clock rs miles from wheeling,
at the Caneton Station, between Wheeling
and Cation. Engine No. 81, coming east,
drawing stock train, exploded her boiler
while taking in water at the station, the usual
place. The report was tremendous, startling
the residents of the place for several miles a.
round, and scattering fragments of the boiler
and wreck in every direction. The engine
man, John Harris, the fireman, James Dawson,
and the conductor, James Winters, We're blown
from their positions and all three instantly
killed, their bodies being awfully lnutilated.
James Comerford machinist of the shops at
Cameron, Thomas Fox, foreman of the track
repares, Il. Moore, engine cleaner, and John
Riley, not in the service of the road, were all
seriously injured principally by the escaping
steam, that enveloped them before they could
escape from the vicinity. j. Mix, con
ductor, S. Riley, breakman, VIM. Price and
John Crabtree, conductor; VIM. Lemon, en-
gineman, ]. Cunningham, foreman, and Edw
Lowe, not i'll the service of the road, were
more slightly hurt, their injuries being slight
Commissions from fragments of the boiler and
engine, hurled on every side. The engine
was of the freight tonnage class, and was
thought to be in good, sound condition. 1t
was put upon the road in December, 1913.
1t is supposed the water was low in The boiler,
and the sudden gush of cool water generating
too much steam, caused the explosion. The
engine was pretty well demolished. Out of
the 239 engines used on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, similar accidents have befell
but three Of them since the opening of the
road.

Ia MOUNTAIN, THE ERoNAUT

Troy, Sept 29.-There had nothing been
heard of La Mountain, the ;eronaut, and his
companion. They have now been absent eight
days. By some it is supposed that they have
come down in one of the interminable forests
of Lower Canada; and if such is the case,
they may lose their way, and several days
may elapse before they will be allie to COM
municate with their friends. A party started
from Watertown yesterday to follow up the
course of the balloon, and if possible gain in
formation of the missing ones.
WATERTowN, N. y, Sept. 29-Prof La
Mountain has been traced a little farther
When last seen, his balloon was over the
town of Pitcairn, in St. Lawrence county,
fifty miles due northeast from here. The al
titude attained by the balloon was supposed
to be five miles and she was going due east,
with great velocity.

RECORDER or DEEDs.-Wiliam r. Lyman, of
White Clay Creek Hundred, is an applicant
for the Office of Recorder Of Deeds for this

AN OLD OFFENDER IN LIMBo.-George Peach,
negro, who Is well known as confirmed
scoundre in this vicinity was arrested in a
hotel stable near Chatham, on Wednesday
night last, and conveyed to West Chester on
the charge of horse stealing. The particulars
of the case are as follows: On Wednesday he
went to the stable of James Bonsall, near
Centreville Del, and took therefrom a horse
he then went across the line into Chester
county,,and borrowed saddle and bride of
J. Swain, under the pretence of going for a
Doctor, telling Mr.. Swain that man was ly-
ing at the point of death i'll Centreville, and
he was sent after doctor up in Chester coun-
ty to come and see him. Mr.. SWAMI, without
hesitation, loaned him the saddle and bride,
and that was the last seen of it. The horse
was found on the following day grazing on the
road -side near Taggarts Cross Roads, Chester
county. When Peach was found, he was hid
in the hayrack of the stable, and came very
near escaping. The constable had given up
sistants picked up pitchfork and commenced
jobbing into the rack in different places, final
ly he struck Mr.. Niger, who not being able
to stand such usage as that, gave himself up
to the constable with the consoling remark,
that she guessed he would go back and see
Judge Haines.n This is not the first time he
has been before him. There is also several
indictments of the same character held against
him in this State, and if he should fall into
the hands of the law of Delaware, he will get
his just deserts.

SMALL LoAvEs.-It is sound dietetic observation,
that bread wished to be as easily digested as pos
sbe, shonld be baked in small oaves, The principal
reason for this is, that the products of fermentation
which are obstructive to digestion, escape more com.
pletey from small loaf than from large one
There is, moreover, less necessity for putting the
bread into very hot oven for keeping it in the
oven so long time to deprive the outer part OF
its nutritive qualities. Bread baked in small oaves
is sweeter to the taste than when baked in large
oaves and this is probably because it is more en-.
tirely freed from the products of fermentation -
