A Passenger Train Plunges from a
 Bridge-FOurteen Persons IDjured.
 CINCINNATI, Feb. 20.-There was serious accident last night on the Belaire and South eastern railroad, sixteen miles southwest of Bslaire, Ohio. The passenger train was crossing the trestle when the rear coach jump ed the track, pulling of two others. The train fell 35 feet and fourteen passengers were more or less injured. Fireman John Abbey seeing the first coach leave the track pulled the coupling-pin between the tender and package car and the engine passed over safely. Had it fallen with the other cars the consequences would have been most disastrous The brake. man also had time to extinguish the fire in one coach. The accident occurred at an out of-the-way point, and the railroad is one of the few along which there is no telegraph line, so that particulars of the accident did not reach here until this morning. Among the most seriously hurt are Hon. Lorenzo Danford, scalp torn nearly off and hurt inter- nally. He was not considered dangerously hurt last night, but grew worse to-day. Andrew Wiley, of Burr's Mill, had his ribs broken and head hurt, and was also hurt in formally. He will recover. Mrs. A. H. Cald- well, of Captina, head badly cut and ribs pHoAcu, anu CanuOt T6cOVer.

The Winter Palace ExpIosiOn-Funeral
 of the Victims-Threatenfn Attitude
 of the SpectatOrs-The Czar Deter
 mined to Suppress NihIlism.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2O.-The funeral of the soldiers who were killed by the explosion in the Winter Palace, and of those who have subsequently, died of wounds there received, took place to-day. The spectacle was lugu- brious and impressive to high degree. The greater part of the regiments comprising the Imperial Guard at St. Petersburg were mar shaled for the ceremony. The bodies of the dead were placed upon gun carriages preceded by regiment of Imperial Guards marching with arms reversed, with the band playing a funeral dirge, were conveyed from the chapel where the religious services over them had been performed to the cemetery on the east side of the Neva, and were there inferred with the usual military ceremonies. Platoons of infantry fired rounds over the graves as the earth was thrown upon the cofins. The atti- tude of the populace, as the funeral cortege passed from the Winter Palace to the ceme- tery, was ominously cold and threatening. The Czar is greatly excited against the Mi hilists, and declares that the extermination of the assassinating sect is necessary, regardless of.cost Domicliary visits by the police con- tinue to be made in all portions of the city. General Gourko, Governor of the Winter Palace, in his order of the day trusts that the devotion of the wounded guards would con- vince the insane criminals of the impossibility to shake the loyalty of the troops.
 Russia has demanded the extradition of Hartmann, who was arrested in Paris charged with complicity in the attempt on the life of the Czar at Moscow.

A APauper's Fearful WOrk-DealinzO Out
 Death With 8 Sharp Axe-A Fearful
 Double Tragedy.
 BRADFORD, Feb. 2O.-On Thursday morn ing, the 18th inst, the usually quiet neigh nouncement of a terrible tragedy that had talk en place at the town farm. Just after break fast. while three aged paupers and little girl were sitting around the stove, one of them named Aaron Perrin asked s'where the sharp axe was" Upon being informed that it was h the woodshed, he went for it and began sharpeningit it with whetstone. He was asked what he was going to do and replied, chop some wood, which he sometimes did. After sharpening the axe he, by stealthy movements, advanced on William Terrin, an old man aged about 79 years, who sat looking out of win dow and dealt him a blow on the neck, which nearly severed the head from his body The other man, MT. Joseph Litch aged 80 years, sprang forward and caught his arm as the axe was raised fer second blow, but could not prevent it's inf1iction. The second stroke cut a fearful gash in the head of the victim. MT. Cragg, the keeper of the town farm, was in an adjoining room and rushed in and assisted in disarmfng Fer rin. Litch then said to him, "Come with me to your room," and he went. MT. Cragg at once started for the overseer Perry Hastings who lived in house near by, and when they returned they of course found Terrill dead. After straightening him out on the floor, they went to Fsrrin's room, where they found him lying on his bed with his feet to- ward the head and deep gash cut in one side of his neck. He had bled profusely, but was able to talk. They left him for few minutes, and on returning they found him dead with a gash in the other side of his neck, which had severed the juguIar vein, his razor lying be- side him. Terrill never moved after he fell from the first blow. He simply moaned s'Oh dear, gasped once or twice and was dead. The blood spurted over the walls and floor, and the whole scene presented one of the most ghastly spectacles ever witnessed in this section. The two corpses were buried to day. erin was native of Corinth and came of 8 good family. His mother died only two years ago, aged 98 years.

Artificial DfanOnds-A Positive An-

 LONDON, Feb. 20.-Professor Nevil Story Maskelyne, of the Mineral department of the British Museum, writes to the Times announ- cling the entire success of MT. J. Ballantyne Hannay, of Glasgow, a Fellow of the Chemi- cal Society of London, in producing diamonds He says MT. Hannay sent him some crystal lized particles presenting exactly the appear ance of fragments of a broken diamond, and these fragments easily scored deep grooves in the polished surface of a sapphire. MT. Hannays process will soon be an nounced to the Royal Society. In his letter Professor Story -Maskelyne, after describing the various tests applied, closes as follows: ''There is no doubt whatever that MT. J. Ballantyne Hannay has succeeded in solving the problem and removing from scien- tifc chemistry the opprobrium so long ad. herring to it; for, whereas the larger part of the great volume recording the triumphs of that science is occupied by the chemistry of carbon, this element has never been crystal lized by man till Mir. Hannay achieved the triumph which have the pleasure of record. ing to-day. His process for efeoting this transmutation is hardly less momentous to the arts than to the possessors of wealth of jew. elry. It is on the eve of being announced to the Royal Society"

Failure of .he Hudson Ice Crop.

Failure of Ghe Hudson Ice Crop.
 KINGSTON, Feb. 20.-Early last week the large ice companies gave up all hope of ob- taining anything like the quantity of ice re- quired to fill the various houses. The Knick- erbocker Company early in the season began to harvest in Maine. Other smaller compa- nies left the river and have been busily en- gagged in gathering inferior ice on inland points. The ice harvest in Maine is of ex- cellent quality, averaging 14iinches in thick ness. Investigation shows that all the small CT companies will obtain supply adequate to meet their own demands. The Knickerbocker Company, in addition to going to Maine, has also invested quite heavily in lakes in this and adjoining States. At Shakers Village. Mass, on the line of the Boston and Albany railroad, this company has large force of men at work. Shaksrs:is one of the coldest points in this country, and good ice is being cut there. Several thousand tons have already been housed, and the warm temperature that has prevailed along the Hudson for the past week has not yet had any effect there. The company will store 750, ,000 tons. Interviews with prominent icsmen show the general opinion to be that the price of ice in the com ing season will not be so great as has been anticipated, the majority averring that rates will not be more than 50 per cent. in advance of last year. None, however, think the ad- vance will be less than 50 per cent. The cost of harvesting and housing the ice in Maine is greater than on the Hudson, to say nothing of freight charges for transporta- tion hun dreds of miles to market. And, too
 the loss by waste in transportation from Maine to New York will average 25 per cent.
