DEATH OF FATHER COLLEToN, S. j.
The Rev. Poilip Coieton of the Society of
Jesus, died at Usage Mission, Kansas, on
the first of December. HIS death resulted
from injuries which he received last win
ter while travelling on the railroad.
Father COlleton was born on the I7th of
March, 1921, in the village of Dopagbmoyne
county MoDaghan, Ireland. He entered the
Society of Jesus in the Missouri Province
on the l5fh of July, 1854 On the 18th of
Jolly, 1868. he wac ordained priest In the
church of ST. Francis Xavier, St. Louis,
Mo. The year following mis- ordination he
WAS sent to the Vicariate of Kansas where
he continued to labor with unremittipg
Zeal until Almighty God called him to re- :
ceive his reward.
Father Colleton's missionary career
shows how much priest of energy and
zeal can accomplish In providing for the
spiritual wants of q scattered Catholic pop
uatIon. In southern Kansas, the field of
his labors, be succeeded in forming many
Catholic settlements, most of the con gre
cations IN that district having been organ
lzed by him. Within q radius of fifty or
sixty miles from the town of Usage Mis-
sion, he provided religious instruction for
the children of Catholic parents, who
otherwise would have been lost to the
FaltE, and built multitude of churches
which, though small, We're sufficiently
large for the accommodation of the faith
full residing in that vicinity. With like
zeal and charity he exerted himself in
procuring assistance for poor immigrant
settlers, cheerfully enduring great hard
ships in order to administer to them the
eacraments OfSthe church, and aiding them
in every manner which his scanty means
allowed. The Catholic population of
South Eastern Kansas, will long retain q
grateful memory of the devoted labors of
Father ColletOn.-St. Louis Wdtchman.

Runaway Coal Train Dashipg Down tn
Mountain Side.
Iscranton penn specia al to N. Y. Herald

tHtnu special 10 n. " HeTSlu
The wildest and most improbable Of
Jules Venues Scientific Romanc.s' con-
tains nothing more thrilling thar acci
dent that has just occurred at DGumore,
one of the supurbs ot this city, and the
great shipping centre of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company. The coat trains are hoisted
ep series of steep planes over the undul.
ating mountains that intervene between
Scranton and Hawley, by finely regula-
ted and admirably equipped sy stem of ma
chinery, and where gentle slopes and long
"leveis" occur are sped onward by gravita
tion, under control of an experienced
corps of brakemen. Arupaway train down
one of those sharply sloping places is rare
occurrence, every possible precaution be-
Jog taken to avert such an accident. Yet,
occasionally, there is a runaway, and it's
headloDg flight is something terrific. The
train of which / speak consisted of four
cars laden with coal. They were drawn
up the plane by a stout wire rope, and
were preceded by small truck known as
the 'balance car" just as they had
reached within a few feet of the head
house the fastening gave way, moments
pause and the cDal train commenced it's
wild career down the mountain side,
striking terror into the hearts of the work
men at the engine house as they saw it
speed away. Down, down it dashed with
rush like whirlwi0d, gaining in mo-
mentum as 1t went until 1T neared the
front of the plare. workman Damed
Durkin, who was engaged in pushing a car
along branch track at the foot, immedi-
ately in the way of the runaway, saw it
approach him and was paralyzed with awe.
1t was yet several yards distant, and he
made desperate effort to escape. But
with velocity almost as great as that of o
cannon ball IL struck him and the car by
which he was standing, sweeping both a
distance of two hundred yards until Dur
kin and the car collided with large coal
train lying on the level. The scene that
ensued battles description. The craeh was
followed by thick cloud of coal, pieces of
wood and iron, and in the midst of the de-
structive tumult poor Durkin was torn to
pieces. The men who saw him when he
was struck looked for him after the force
| of the shock had been spent, and were
Mortified to fiud him cut up into frag-
ments, the largest of which weighed no
more than a pound. The strength of the
| shock may be imagined when state that
| heavy car wheels were flung as high as the
car shops, fully height of twenty feet in
the air. Tue accident, which is the first
| that has ever occurred on No. 6 Plane, is
described by those who witnessed it rs be-
| ing wildly grand when the rushing train
descended, like thunderbclt, down the
track. The plane is Constructed on a
grade of one to every tnree feet. Durkin
was over sixty years OF age, and had been
in the employ OF the Penusy tvania Coal
Company for twenty years.

A High.Handcd Outrage.

In writing up the proceedings OF the
election in Cincinnati on Tuesday, the
Gazette illustrates some of the peculiarities
of the Democratic party in some of the
Wards Of that city, which will not aston
ish those who have witnessed elections
either in the 4th or 18th Wards, where
the "Reform" party are largely in the as
cendency;
The boldest effort at fraud was made IN
the First Precinct Of the Fourth Ward,
where not the least semblance of decency
was preserved. Early in the morning the
Democrats took entire possession Of the
polls and continued in undisturbed con.
troll throughout the day. Not Republi-
can Judge or clerk was allowed to set his
foot inside the building. The Tilden Re-
formers, under the leadership Of Billy
O'Neil, President Of the Board of Educa-
ton, were left to work their own sweet
will without restraint The plan by
which this was accomplished was worthy
of Tilden himself At the time of opening
the polls, the crowd, composed almost
wholly of Democrats, proceeded to elect
and install their judges and clerks, and on
the sublime principle that the majority
rules ii was decided that all the officers OF
the election should be Democrats.
In vain the Republicans brought for
ward their duly appointed judgennd clerk
and claimed their right to minority rep
resentation. The Eph Holland and Billy
O'Nel relormers stood firm on the grea
principle Of the right Of the majority tC
rule. Then followed ten hours farce
During the forenoon small but pluck
band Of Republican chNllengers did wha
service they could; but the game was en-
tirely in the hands of the Democrats. Al
ternoon the challengers disappeared, ant

DEPLORABLE FEATURE OF THE

One Of the most deplorable features Of
the election for President on Tuesday last,
was the fact that the Democfatie pnrtY de-
pended for its success upon stufling ballot
boxes in Northern cities and intimideting
colorcd Republican voters in the Southern
States. OF tho large number oi "repcaters"
arrested in New York and other cities, not
one was n Republican, and in no instance
can IL be shown that the Republican party,
or any ono representing It, sought tosccurc
success with any other than legitimate
means. These are startling facts--facts
which are known TO nTT--ond yet there are
men who nre counted honest and good cit
izens who have not a word OF condemnn-
ton for such efforts to secure power through
fraud. II is not necessary to enumerate
particular cases, but in nearly every local
