FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Freight and Passenger Train
d Collide on the Panhandle
Road One Mile West of MingO.

A terrible railroad collision on the
Pittsburgh, Cincinnati q st. Louis rail-
road one mile west of Mingo Junction,
near Steubenvile, occurred at two
O'Clock ON yesterday morning, by
which some 20 to 80 persons lost their
lives. The trains that collided were
the fast mail train leaving Pittsburgh
at 1l:35 P. NJ, going west, running al
the rate of forty miles Ler hour, and
an east bound freight running twenty
five mikes per hour. The train consist
ed OF baggage and mail cars, two
|coaches and two sleepers. The coaches
were filled with tmigrants and were
literally smashed to pieces, as was the
mail car. One report says that % per.
sons were Filled outright and that for
ty were wounded and that the latter
are dying hourly. The fatalities were
mostly confined to emigrants but
three postal car clerks were killed, aud
the engineers on both trains seriously
and probably fatally injured. The
sleeping car passengers were not in.
jured. The only theory given as the
cause for the accident so far, is that the
conductor on the freight train found
his watch stopped and was left without
a guide as TO time, and erred in his
calculation. The houses iH the neigh
b0rhood of the calamity and some in
Steubenville have been tnrned into
hospitals, and everything is being done
that is possible to alleviate the condi.
tion OF the sufferers.
LlTEs-..Later and more reliable
accounts state that sixteen persons,
among whom was John Dugan, the
engineer of the passenger train from
Steuben Vile, were killed, and forty or
fifty wounded, among the latter is John
Phillips, of Harrison county, fatally
wounded. This is probably the most
serious accident which has ever taken
place on any of the connections of the
Pennsylvania Company.
DIR. J. M. Todd, of Bridgeport, was
among the physicians who hastened to
the scene Of the disaster, and labored
faithfully during the entire day to re
lieve the sufferers.

THE most remarkable attempt to
dispose Of the Southern Claims question
has been made by Senator Voorhees,.
Hequoted the Fourteenth Amendment
as complete bar tothe payment of
such claims, because ii prohibits the
assumption ny the UnitedlStates Of any
debt or obligation incurred in aid of
the rebellion, or any claim for the loss
of slaves. The claims which have
alarmed tho whole country by their
numbers and size belong to neither OF
these rlasses. They are for supplies
furnished or taken by the United States
Government to aid in crushing the re-
bellion. They are made by rebels, who
may or may n 1t pretend that they were
loyaI. There are also claims for rent
of prop arty, and for property, destroy
ei. These are thicker than lies in
Louisiana.

Symptoms of Diseased Liver.

pAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally a considerable loss of men,
ory, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
