ALLENTOWN, Pa, February lG.--An
accident occurred this morning near
State Line station, on the Lehigh and
Susquehannah road, between one and
two O'clock, by which two men have
lost their lives, a large amount of
property was destroyed, and several per-
sons sustained serious and perhaps IA
tai injuries. The train, heavily laden
and running at II high rate of speed,
ran into a landslide, which had com
pletely blocked the track. The
engine jumped the track, and
hangs over the bank of the river.
Eighteen cars were thrown from the
track and pitched on each other,
smashing the freight of all descrip-
tons, which was strewn all over the
road and hurled into the river. Not
one of the train hands, as far as we
could learn, escaped without some
slight injury. The body OF the engi-
neer, Daniel Shannon, was found
under the engine, badly burned. Otto
Shannon, fireman, and Frank Ryan,
brakeman, were badly scalded and
burnt. Three other men, unknown
are reported killed.

Making Each Other Miserable.
Henry Ward Beocher.l


As if there were not troubles enough
in this world that come upon men
without human design, people put
themselves to work to diminish happi-
ness and to increase misery. Phrenol-
ogSts tell us that there is in man an
organ and faculty of destructiveness--
that, when unregulated, it inspires
cruelty; that it is the root of that horri-
bic pleasure which the old Romans
had, and their modern descendants
still have, in murderous gladiatorial
shows, contests Of wild beasts, bull
fights, etc:
But there runs through modern civ
ilized society vein of the same quail
ity. People who would faint to see a
gush of blood, and who think them
selves christians, have Il lively enjoy
ment in witnessing pain, and cultivate
the art of inflicting it. The mention
of a few of the methods employed will
make good my remarks:
The delight with which many report
bad news, the eagerness with which
they report to people evil sayings
which cannot but lacerate the feelings,
show morbid love of suffering. This
is not the trait Of villainous natures. 1t
exists in people of real kindness of dis
position. 1T is not anomalous, because
ii is so widely extended as to seem nor
NAL.
Some people scatter pain-producing
elements thoughtlessly, and are sur
prised and sorry when they witness the
suffering produced. Others do it for
momentary pleasure, without meaning
any serious results. But now and then
we find persons who love to torment a
victim. They enjoy another's suffer-
ings. 1t is their happiness to see some
one made keenly miserable by their
lance-like tongue. They will smile,
and talk in low, sweet tones, and shoot
out quivering sentences, poison-tipped,
and cast look sideways to see if they
strike, and at every sign of pain their
face grows bright.

The Spirit of a Drowned Man Tells
Where his Dead Body was,

Oar readers are acquainted with the de
tails OF the drowning of the two men, Sey-
ferth and Sarstedt, some Two or three DAYS
ago, while crossing the river Ever since
the accident occurred hurdreds of men
have been at work saving places in the
ice anu dragging the bottom Of the slough,
In hope Of recovering the bod: es, but with
out success. Rewards were offered by the
Turner's; experienced divers apd river men
came from St Louis AMI St. Joseph, but
up to Saturday night nothing hal been az
complished, and it was feared that the I'M
dertaA'ng would have to be given up.
Sunday morning. Mr.. Julius Haug,
brother in-law of Seyferth, one Of the
drowned men, Sas sent for by woman
living IN the north part of the city, who
said she had something of Importance to
cor municate.
Mr.. llaug went to the womeu's resi-
dcnce, and was told by her that if he would
not be too skeptical, and sneer at the very
flea, she could tell him where the body of
Seyfsrth could be found lie agreed TO
listen to what she had to communicate,
and the oman then raid she was me-
dunn and had communication with the
drowned man, who said that his BODY. a.
well as that of his unfortunate companion,
could be found seventy feet from the place
where they had fallen in, down the stream,
and near small bush which was frozen in
the ice.
Having obtained this description Mr..
Haug left the medium, and procuring
horse, rode to the scene of the acciden',
where he found the bush as described BY
the woman, and from the nature of the
surroundings and the course of the current
concluded that possibly there might be
something in what the woman had sa d.
Monday he visited the place again with a
large number of his neighbors and friends
of the deceased. The lee was cut awav
from around the bush, and at 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon the body of Seyferth was
found sithin ten feet of the spot pointed
out by the medium. The body of Sarstedt
has not yet been found, but is supposed to
be frozen in the ice, which reaches nearly
to tie bottom of the slough where the men
fell N. There was considerable excite
ment among our German citizens over he
strange end mysterious information furn-
ished by the medium, aud the fu6llment of
her voluntary prophecy.
