A STORY or THE WRECK.-On our second
page we give graphic account of the das-
iardly outrage committed at Cambria siding,
near Johnstown, this county, on Friday
night last, which we supplement with the
following Interesting story OF lie disaster rs
told by Col. Randall, of the First Artillery,
u S. Army, copied from the Pittsburgh
Commercial Gazette of NJ onday
1T was about half past eight, and ] was seated
in the Pullman palace car where most or the
officers were, except those with the batteries.
At Johnstown large crowd OF men and boys
greeted us with cheers ana yelis. aud followed
IL up with Il VOllcy of stones from both sides OF
the road, breaking car windows and irjuring
several OF our men, three OF them badly. As
our car passed the Cambria iran Works, about
a mile this side of JOhnstOwn, the stones still
coming. Colonel HnmiltO on, who had joined US
i'm the ear, got up from his seat to pull the bell
rope aud stop the train, that the men might dis
embark and clenr the track of rioters. The
train apparently slackened speed. the stones
continuing to rain against the windows. Col.
onel Hamilton seized me rope again ana wfile
and all fell to the ioor. colonel Hamilton was
thrown against the edge of the seat and injured
seriously. breaking one of his ribs and disab-
Ing him for the rest OF the trip
AS soon as regained our feet we were out
of the cal and deployed skirmishers i'm the front
and rear. The second section of our division
was behind under Major Mcmillan, and com
pany was sent back under Colonel Scott to
sifnaf them and prevent their running into our
rear. They stopped il In time to pcrvent ac-
cident NenHtPe we Rdtuefeu up .eNtIy uooiy
we could find that seemed cognlzant OF the ac-
cident.
"Examina tion showed six cars of the track
two of them baggage cars. The switch lad
been opened and platform ear, loaded with
bricks, had been run ST. as our car would strike
it. 1t happened the engine jumped the switch,
he epiny strRig ht ahead, striking the car on the
corner and knocking il ut right angles with the
track. The baggage and other cars fol-
low, d, and striking the obstruction with Il sort
of slant, knocked the whole train into zigzag
shape. This was what saved our lives. We
were running at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, and am satisfied II the engine had fol-
lowed the switch instead of jumping it the ca RS
would have been teieScoped and all those in the
front cars, at least. would have been killed.
In reference to the question whether ali those
arrested were guilty OF participating in the
scheme to wreck the train. Col. Randah said
" They all seemed cognizant of tho affair. Some
we arrested Were afterwGrd let go. as they seenl-
ed!to know nothing about il. Threats were al
terwa ard heard by some of our troops that we
were id lucky to get past the Cambria iron
works with our lives MS It had been planned 10
throw US lott the bridge into the Conemaugh q
river"

1MrORTANT TO HutsEKEEPERS.- Our
attention has been called to some new and
useful cooking utensils recently invented.
one of which is know az the Centennial
Cdte and i5oh,ing Pan, made OF Russia iron,
and so constructed that after your cake is
baked you can instantly remove it from the
pan without iniuring it and ha wing raised
bottom, the cake cannot possibly burn. Itis
also provided with slide on the bottom, SO
that when You remove the tnbe you can
close the hole, making pan with plain bot-
tom, for baking jelly or plain cakes, bread,
etc. Another-the Kitchen Gera-is also a
very useful and long needed household ne
ressity. II is plated wire boiler or steamer
to hang inside of an ordinary iron pot, for
boiling or steaming vegetables, which. when
done, can be easily removed, perfectly drg,
without lifting the heavy, sooiy iron pot off
the stove, thus avoiding the danger of burn
ing the hands with the steam in pouring off
the hot water. Aud the vegetables cannot
nossibly burn, even If the water boils dry,
as the steamer does not touch the bottom of
the not.
These goods, which are sold exclusively
through agents to families, give universal
satisfaction and present splendid opening
for some reliable lady or gentleman canvass
er of this county 10 secure the agency for n
profitable business. For terms, territory,
etc, write to J.. Z. Brown & Co, Nos. PA

DEATH FROM ACC1DENT.-We are sorry
to announce the death, on Sunday last, of
Mr.. john NJ. stephens, of Carroll township,
old time acquaintance and a much eS-
teemed and prompt-paying patron of the
FREEMAN, whose sad demise was The result
of accident, preceded we are told hy Il stroke
of para ysis or an attack of heart disease
most probably The latter, as we helieve he
was subject 10 that dangerous malady. 1t
seems that Mr. Stephens was on his way
home from CarrClltown, on Thursday after
noon or evening of last week, in a tw o horse
wagon, on which was barrel of salt stand
ing on end and serving as a seat for the un.
fortunate gentleman, who, as he afterwards
related himself became suddenly uncop-
scinus, the wheels of the wagon at the same
time coming in contact with an obstruction
in the road and causing the barre; of salt to
uptiit and throw him TO TIE ground, which
he. struck in sucE a way to fracture his
collar~bone back of the neck, or il maybe his
spine and paralyze his entire body from the
armpits down. How the injured man sue
ceeded in getting home after the accident,
OF by whom taken, we failed to learn, but
after reaching there he remained in help
less condition. unable 10 move hand or foot,
though .perfecCly conscious, until between
IL and II o'clock on Sunday forenoon, when
death nut an end TO his sutferings. Mr..
Stephens was a bachelor, aged As years, the
day he met with the mishap being, as we
learn the anniversary of bis birth, and was
possessed of a farm and had accumulated
considerable money and other property. He
was formerly employed as AN engineer on
the old Portage railroad and subsequently
served i'm the same capacity on the Pa. Il. r.,
but of late years has been engaged in agri-
culture, his venerable mother, who kept
hose for him, and couple OF children
whom he had adopted, living with him. He
received the last rites of the Catholic Church.,
of which he was a member, and We trust
that his immortal spirit has found favor IN
the sight of God.
