THE 1JOURNAIIP
TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Explosion Of the Locomotive uLec1aire-
The Fireman Killed and Engineer See

Explosion Of the Locomotive Lec!aire-
The Fireman Killed and Engineer Sc
riosasly Injured.
The Express train from Grinnen to
Davenport met with serious accident,
at 6 O'Clock last evening, when about
II miles east of West Liberty, in this
county. 1t was running ut the rate Of
about 25 miles per hour, when the engine
(the Antoine Leclaire) exploded with
terrific effect, scattering the fragments
in every direction, killing the fireman,
Mr.. Gray, of Rock Island, and Seriously
injuring the engineer, Abraham Smith,
of Davenport, formerly Of Muscatine.)
The baggage car and two passenger cars,
containing about sixty persons, suffered
q fearful shock in coming in contact
with the wreck, but fortunately no one
else was seriously injured. The track
was torn up about the length of four
rails. The end Of the boiler next to the
tender was blown completely out. 1t is
wonder that the engineer escaped in
slant death. The body of the fireman
was found some distance ahead OF the
engine, from which circumstance it is
supposed he was oiling the machinery at
the time of the explosion.
A freight train came along soon after
the accident, by which means the pas
sengers were enabled to pursue their
journey and the wounded man was taken
to Davenport. The train reached this
city about 10 O'Clock. 10Th.

a short time in New York at the Fifth

conversation congratulated her on the

a hope that he would be successful in

Side lead-colored. Just in the center of
this color is d spot of white, about half
an inch in diameter. The other half Is
divided into two equal portions by an
other line running from end to end, one
of which is perfectly white and the 9TH
er flesh colored. But the strangest part
of the whole affair is yet to be told. On
the white portion, about half an inch
from the lead-color, is the word I" Peace"
written in such way that the upper part
of the T. extends into the leadcoior.
The shape Of the 2 is an exact repre-
sentation of the palm leaf figure so often
seen Oh ladies' shawls. The part which
is in the lead-color is in bass relief; the
rest of the word seems to be wrought
into the texture Of the shell.

shore, you see only a water horiZon.-
This view, however, is broken by mag

shore, and apparently as many miles, in

what Mania-a-P0tu r..
, Philadelphia Press relates the fol-

A pretty-wen dressed young-man step
ned into the Canal Station, Monday af-
ternoon, to enter complaint. He ap-
peared to be perfectly sane, but it was
not long before we came to the conclu-
sion that we were in the presence of a
man laboring under mania-a-potu.-
"Sir," said he, / am very much annoyed
by the Reading Railroad Company; they
have caused double track to be laid
from the cellar of my house to the roof:
one track goes up one side OF my BED
and down the other side. They run the
q locomotive whizzes by, blowing the
steam whistle and ringing the bell;
last night, sir, one of the locomotives
run off the track, and the engineer
grinned at me like the devil. The pass
sengers all looked like devils some with
horns, and some with no horns at all;
each devil carried canary bird which
seemed to sing like steam whistle. "
Here the informant paused.
"Well sir, your complaint is just; we
have already taken measures to have
the tracks removed from your house so
that YOU can sleep without being dis
turbed, twas our reply. a..
The man seemed to be greatful that
such course had been taken. end as he
arose to depart, he said, "Sir, wish you
would remove that worm from my shout
der; only little while ago, Ipulled one
out of my forehead, and threw it on the
pavement; just as was about to put my
foot on it, nearly a hundred ran up my
leg, and have no doubt this is one of
them.N
We removed the imaginary worm,
whereupon he exclaimed" Why, there
are more of them!"
"Wait moment" said we; a brush
was obtained and properly used. The
man, evidentlya gentleman, returned
his thanks for our kindness, and sudden
IL left the office He was stranger.
what became of him we know not, but
we thought the whole scene first class
