A Runaway s.cceniG tive.

The New York train due at Troy at Sis
?. M. met with a serious mish.p % the way
w last evening, which came near ending
seriously. At Rhinebeck the cylinder of
tue locomotive broke, and the train was
delayed City five minutes in consequence.
AT Castloton the train was stopped to pre-
vent collision with runaway locomotive
from Greenbu.h, Which went down on t.
up track at fearful rate Of speed. Toe
cause Of the affu;r was as follows: Two
locomotives approached each other at Green
busl, last evening, at high rate of speed,
and the engineer aid fireman Of one of
them, seeing the danger, jumped off. The
tohers reversed the lever of their locomo
tive, and it hnstened south on the up track,
and all alone. The engineer of another
locomotive at Greenbush started after the
escaped five horses" en- o down track.
The race WAS thrilling one--s mile a

Labor, aud the Troy train came along, arriv-
ing here At IL o'clock, having been seven
hours coming from New York. The escape
from frightful accident was indeed q
miraculous one, and the presence of mind
of the engineer Of the locomotive who fol-
lowed and passed the escaped engine was
highly commended. Had the Troy train
not been delayed a: Rhinebeck collision
would certainly have occurred. The train
due here at 10 O'Clock vas also delayed an

our stay,we could only see the place. pointed
out to us by those who had witnessed them
Lately these explosions have begun again,
and two very violent ones occurred, ending

JugYernaash

The Juggernauth pilgrims at Serampore
are said TO have manifested considerab Bile
dissatisfaction at the conduct of the Seram-
pore Municipal authorities in regard to
the cars. The commissioners declined to
allow one of the cars, which was in q
manfestiy rotten condition, to be removed
until it had been repaired. The priests
set hundreds Of men to work, and kept
them necessarily at it for day and q
night. But the next morning the magis-
trate was still dissatisfied with the condi
ton Of the car, and impounded the robee
to prevent any attempt at moving it. 1.-THE
result was says the Patriot, "that for
the first time within the memory of man
the sacred car wAs not drawn on the day
Of the festival" But by the wise action Of
tie authorities in preventing the removal n
the car in its unsafe condition, there can
be no doubt that many lives were savsd.
The magistrate, who has thus been the
indirect means Of preserving the lives Of q
punbee Of his fellow creatures, is covered
xish abuse, and accused of consp;,ine to
interfere With tie religious obseEvances Of
the people.

A ROy Dies from che Ukse Of q Mad
Cat.

About four weeks ago a boy named
Charles Houke was bitten By cat at bis
residence on the corner of Dunning street
and Sheffield avenue Last Saturday even
ing, at 5 O'Clock, he died. The case is a
remarkable one. in that it is without a
parallel in the history of medical science,
when the circumstances under which it
happened, aud the immediate Ms wei as
the final consequences are taken into &C.
count. 1t seems that the boy struck the
cat, when it few at him aud bit him on the
right hand. The wound was hardly per-
ceptible at the time, and was not regarded
as painful by the boy, who was in perfect
health and spirits for three weeks after,
until Last Saturday morning be was pros
trated with the pain, end in the evening
died from the effects. The natural suppo-
sition has been that it was q case u
hydrophobia. If 80, there are certain
points abont it that are Inconsistent with
the generality of cases OF that kind. The
cat was, it appears, perfectly healthy at
the time, having just had litter of kittens,
and it exhibited not the least symptoms Of
madness, neither before or after the act.
On Saturday DR.. +. l.. Miller was sum
moned. and when lie left in the afternoon
to hold a consultation with Dr. Isham, he
pronounced the case hopeless one. On
his return his prediction was verified, the
boy had died during bis absence.
As yet no anatomical examination haa
teen made. The doctors have the cat in
their possession which they propose to
keep until they are satisfied that it is
perfectly sound. They consider that its
bite had the same effect as that of q mad
cat, but cannot account for the circum

Mr. Stone, willing to do what be could,

Advice to Farmers

Prof. A. L. Perry, Of Williams College,
made an address ct the Nebraska State
Fair, recently held at Omaha, in which he
presented many points fer the considera-
rion of farmers. At the conclusion Of his
speech he thus enumerated and emphasized
the points he had made.
i. Farmers are really almost everybody
but have been heretofore. politically, no
body, and have now wisely made up their
N inds to become somebody.
Nature is a friend to tie tllers Of the
soil
3. Farmers generally will do we'll to
have one, two, three or moro products to
sell, subsidiary to their main crop.
4. The best legislation for farmers is
"let alone;" but actual Legislation is almost
always against them.
5. When dollars begin to dance up and
down in value, farmers begin to dance to
a doleful tune.
6. Observation-Disclosures are worse
than any ether kind Of grasshopper for the
farmers. --rr
Z. Protection is TO industry what chok-
ing collar is to man. 1t stops heaithful
circulation both ways.
8. Permanent parties, and especially
parties with the principles slipped out,are Of
doubtful utility. Farmers are the men to
abolish them.
9. Vote only for good men, who believe
sd Substantially ~ you do, without the slight
est reference to worn out names and shib-
boleths.
10. Keep the eyes open; look into the
nature of things; watch and pray" and
hate a debt next to the devil.

A New Wnv to Dine without Price.
Lucy Hooper, writing to the Pbiladel
phia Press, says: "One of the nastiest
tricks, but at the same time one of the
oeverest of the day, was recently perpe-
trated on the restaurant keepers here. An
enterprising genius set out one day to get
irst-class dinner without paying for it,
and he succeeded in this wise: Having pro.

them by immersing them in boiling water,
and with the hfeless remains of bis victims

pears to have an invested working capital
Of $3.50, 900, and has 500 producing wells,
81 wells now drilling, and 1916 engines
employed, the daily production of Oil being
1888 barrels. This region being nearest
to Pttsburg, the oil finds shipments East
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, willie the
Venanso region divides its shipments with
the New York lines. AS the latter region
has declined heavily in its production, and
useless derricks, the chances are good for
Philadelphia now fixing the lead in the ex

what extent the oil developements are like

what is called the Butler district cover a
