ON THE RAIL.
Collision Of Two Picnic Trains.
Three Thousand Persons Aboard.

Many MaDgIed.-MiracuIO Escapes.
ST. LOUIS, June 23.-At very late hour
last night, report gained circulation that
frightful collision had occurred on the At
lantic aud Pacific Railway, some 20 miles
from the city. Two picnic parties went
out on that road yesterday. One giVen by
the Brick-layers' Union numbering nearly
1900 men, women aud children, spent the
day at Castle Wood Station, six miles from
the city. The other given by the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, numbering
about 200, went a mile this side to Rose
wood grove. Nothing could be learned of
the reported disaster, however, until be-
tween Il aud one o'clock this morning,
when the train bearing the Locomotive
Engineers party reached the city, and the
following facts were ascertAined:
Wnen the party were ready TO return
home their train was backed down on the
main tracS, and while the people were get
ting aboard, the BriCkisyers train came
dashing around the curve near by, and
before its speed could be reduced below ten
miles an hour, struck the stationary trai n,
smashing two baggage cars in athe rear,
badly damaging the rear coach. The shock
was very severe, and nearly every one on
the train Was thrown from their seats and
large number hurt, but so far as known
no one killed. Two boys named Gallsgh or
and Huliget had each leg broken. Mrs.
Maria Cummings, arm broken; Mrs. q.
BLESSING, spine badly hurt and injured in
ternally. Saml. Kawes, ribs broken.
Numbers of others were more or less
bruised.
The Bricklayer's train arrived quarter
past O'Clock. The engine of this train
was badly damaged, and two of its coaches
are said to have rolled down an embank-
ment. The most severely injured on this
train were Pat Murphy, ribs and legs badly
hurt. Mrs. VIM. Allen, spine and arms Sc
verely injured, reared she may not recover.
| A dozen others received more or less severe
bruises and sprains. The cause of the ac-
| cident was the neglect of a brakeman to
flag the rear train in time to stop it and the
supposition Of the engineer OF the moving
train that the track was clear.

SOME weeks ago the notorious Edith
O'Gorman, who sdvertis, herself as ''the
escaped num-" was announced to speak at
public hall in Toronto on conventual life,
and few of the Protestant clergymen (who
no doubt regretted it sincerely enough af-
terward) were induced to further her mon
ey-making object, by giving notices from
their pulpits, of the forthcoming lecture.
The result, as stated in the Globe uewspa'
Der of that city, was that "Miss O'GOrman
appeared on the platform under shameful
circumstances, and her lecture, which botn
in manner and matter was, so far as it
went, Objectionable in the highest degree,
collapsed after twenty minutes heroic con.
test with superindueed mental asphyxiA. F"

Is stated that the President has about de-

Chief Justice, TO fill the vacancy occEsioned

learn from their lips the sad particulars of
her husbands death. But in this she was
disappointed, as they had been sent TO

In view of the prevalence Of diseases of
the stomach and bowels at this time, and the
general fear of the possibility of the sp-
pearance of epidemic cholera among US,
Messrs. Saudek a. Colstron called upon
number of the leading physicians of the city
during the week TO aid them in the prepar-
tion of q prescription that may be taken
with safety, and st III same time with
certainty to relief when relief is possible.
They have taken great pains and trouble to
secure the cooperation of the physicians in
this respect, and thus insure remedy
which will prove effective, and which all
can indorse. They have at length succeed
ed in preparing a satisfactory formula,
which is not offered as specihc for the
disease called cholera, but with modesty
that is becoming in apothecaries respecting
a disease that has batlled the aOlest and
most eminent physicians of every region 1t
has visited, they only claim that the medl-
cine can be reli upon for efficacy IN all
ordinary diarrhess, with painful disturbance
of the stomach and bowels. Also, Willie ef-
fective in relief, il is free from everything
of an injurious TEL dency. The following is
