ma. THE WAY TO Do Ir.-If you wish 10
keep town from thriving, don't put p.any
more buildings than you can conveniently
occupy yourselves. If you she uld ncc Mt.
. ally have an empty dwelling, and any one
wauts to use il, ask at least vice its actual
value for it. Demand a Shylock price for
every vacant spot Of ground God has given
you stewardship over. Turn cold shou der
10 every mechanic or business man seeking
home among you. Look ~ every new conner
with scowl as much as TO say, Who in tie
al are your Run down the work of every
new workman. Go abroad for wares rather
shan trade with those who seek to do business
In your midst Wrap yourselves up within
--yessselves, and eoYer yourselves up with a
coatof inpe rvious selfshness There is no
more snsctual way to retard the growth Of a
town than actions like those enumerated. ~

THE ERIE DISASTER.
Particulars OF the Iench Greek CatRS-
tIOphe-Ghe Killed and MOunded.

A special correspondent of the Pittsburg
Chronicle. writing from Erie July 9, says Of the
late Erie Railroad disaster:-
The train, which consisted of one baggage car
two passenger coaches, q sleeping Car, aud
r. M, with about tiIIy passengers aboard. Tue
train proceeded as far as the bridge without
accident, but the engineer states that as soon
as the LOGON olive ran on the bridge he felt the
structure sink. Suspecttng some hing was wrong
he pulled open the throttle valve with the in
tention of jerking the train over. The engine
ana tender passed over to the other side 1n
safety, but as soon as the passenger cars touched
the bridge the structure gave way, carrying two
of them down with IL. The tender of the engine
was thrown from the track, and the baggage
car fell back wards from the farthest abutment
and was shattered to pieces. The smoking car
was precipitated into the sJream and the coach.
following It, fell upon Il. and tnclosed 1t like
sleeping car fell over the abutment on the west
side OF the bridge, and rested on the top OF the
preceding coach, while the other end was held
in an inclined position by the trucks catching
on the coping OF the bridge.
a Just below the point where the accident oc-
Cured q dam had been constructed across
French creek, and the water was consequently
between six and seven feet deep. the bridge
was about 10 feet above the water, and about
fifty feet wide. Nearly all the passengers were
in the two cars that fell into the stream, and
five were killed or drowned, and about eighteen
injured. scene OF almost indescriba6le ex-
ctIement prevailed among those OF the passen-
gers who were unhurt, but as soon as they
could escape from the wreck they organized
Themselves into u working party for the pur-
pose OF rescuing the more unfortunate passen-
gers, many OF whom 1t was feared would be
drowned before assistance could be rendered.
The sluice gates OF the dam were thrown
open, and in very snort time the water
had fallen three or four feet. In the meantime,
however, parties were energet1cally at work
rescuing those who were in reach, aud when the
water had receded the bodies of five persons,
who had either been killed outright or drowned,
were taken from the wreck. The names OF the
dead were Miss Aggie Brainard, aged twenty
three years, of Erie; Mrs. Priscilla Frees, OF Flat
Rock Seneca county, Ohio, and her two chill
dren, aged respectively fourteen months. and
two years ana @ four denS m0nSnsi and & little girI
Erie. OF the wounded Conductor Boyce, who
was In charge of the train, and Miss Jane
McCreigb, of Concord Erie county, were the
most seriously injured. The others sustained
contuSions and bruises of various kinds but
none are dangerously injured.
