THE p. Il. II. DISASTER.
How a Great Wreck Occurred.

How a Great Wreck Occurred.
Between four and five o'clock yesterday
morning. terrible railroad accident oc-
CURED on the Pennsylvania railroad near
Warriors Mark, just west of Huntingdon,
by which large number of freight cals
were wrecked and two men were killed.
Somewhere near the time and place
mentioned some cars in a westward bound
freight train broke down and compelled the
stoppage of the train. Before measures
could be taken to prevent the accident
another westward bound freight train came
laundering along and ran into the rear of
the broken freight. None of the crew on
either of the trains was hurt, but the COL
lision made bad wreck and forced mum
Der of the cars of the first train upon the
south track. A heavy thunder and rain
storm was raging at the time. In few
moments the rapid puff, puff, and ominous
rattle was heard ofanother freight on the
south track coming east. There was a
curve just above the scene of the collision
so that the engineer of the approaching
freight could not see the awful dan
ger which awaited him. It was
too late to warn him and around the

Supposed Postoffice Thief Arrested.

Yesterday afternoon, George w. Mid
dlewood, alias "Bud," was arrested in
Columbia OH suspicion of being post
Office thief It appears that while he was
in Columbia Middlewood offered to sell a
lot of postage stamps at price less than
par value. Special Officer Barrett, who
is detective in the employ of the post
Office department., had Middlewood
arrested in Columbia, and he i'm
mediately telegrapbed to Captain
Sprecher, of this city. Mr.. Sprecher
went to Columbia yesterday afternoon and
took Middlewood in charge. The prisoner
was brought to this city last evening and
placed in the lookup, and this morning he

A Tough Turkey Story.

The Harrisburg Telegraph Of last even
ing contains the following: "When the
fast line on the Pennsylvania railroad
reached Philadelphia at 7:4O yesterday
morning Engineer Christ. Hoffmaster
called the attention of the depot employees
to large turkey sitting on the COW catch
er of his engine, apparently as contented
as if on the rOost. Christ. said he had
caught the turkey at Gordonville, Lam
caster county, and had been watching it
all the way down to Philadelphia. How
the bird preserved its balance, considering
the rate of speed at which the fast line
flies along is a mystery. The engineer
took charge of his turkeyship, and there's
a fair prospect of a roast at his house,

Another Row.

The Republican politicians are not yet
done quarrcling over the result of the pri.
mary election. Late yesterday afternoon
some of them met at Woehrle's saloon, and
for time it looked as though there might
be general fight. Terrible threats were
made and it is alleged that one of the party
drew pistol. The upshot of the matter
was that John w. Mentzer made complaint
against VIM. Leonard for surety of the
peace and drunken and disorderly conduct.
Leonard, accompanied by some friends, ap-
peared before Alderman Barr this morning
to enter bail, and so boisterous were one
Or two of them that the alderman had to
threaten to lock them up before anything
like order could be restored.

"A Mean Trick.

Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock a
beautiful Italian greyhound and hand
some black and tan terrier, both fine thor
oughbred animals belonging to Captain
II. II. Power, of the City hotel, suddenly
sickened from some cause at the time un-
known, and died within half an hour. The
peculiar circumstances at once aroused
suspicion that they had been poisoned, and
a post mortem examination revealed that
such had been the case. Some mean and
cowardly enemy of the owner had
doubtless administered the deadly drug to
crafty personal spite; us both dogs-so
far from being ugly or vicious-were per-
fectly gentle and harmless creatures, and
great favorites with the habitues of the
hotel. Quick and severe justice should be
the deserts of the perpetrator of SO das-
tardly deed, for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of whom Capt.
Power offers Il reward of $50. s. Prince
and "Bye" will be sadly missed around
the City hotel.

HANCOCK AND THE REPUBLICANS

MIR. Leonard W. jerome Points Out Why
All Republicans Must support
the Hero of Gettysburg.
The following letter has been handed to
the World by Mr.. Jerome with request
for its publication
WEST TwENTY-SIxTH STREET., }
June %, 1880.
MAJOR GENERAL HANCOCK:
My Dear General: take the earliest
opportunity to congratulate you upon your
nomination and to assure you, lifelong
Wing and Republican that l am, of my
most hearty support. l belong to very
stanch old silver-gray Republican family.
With one solitary exception, there never
| was one of them known to vote the Dem
| Ocratic ticket, but l. venture to say they
| will to a man vote for you. They cannot
consistently do otherwise.
You, sir, embody the views and senti-
ments in regard to the great questions of
| the day that We have entertained since the
| war closed. They were the same that
actuated General Grant when he laid down
those liberal terms of surrender to General
Lee. They are the same that actuated
my poor friend Raymond, when he battled
so manfully in the committee of Congress
against the savage policy of Thad Stevens
l believe General Grant would support
you to-day, did not the exigencies
of his situation forbid it. And
Henry J. Raymond were he alive, would
support you too, unless the exigencies Of
the New York Times restrained him. He
was compelled at an early day to smother
the sentiments he had expressed in the ad-
dress of the Philadelphia convention, to
abandon his career in legislative halls and
to change to tone of the Times or, as Mr.,
Jones, our business manager and partner,
insisted, the paper would DO ruined. q
believe offered to pay the damages at the
time, but that was considered impractical
ble.) 1t was bitter pill, but it had to be
swallowed. Thad Stevens had succeeded
through Congress which misrepre-
sented the country in engrafting his
policy upon the Republican party. And
though majority of the party, I firmly
believe, were disguised, it was fastened
upon them and there was no way of getting
rid of it. Thus for years a vast number Of
us, good Republicans, have been compelled

morning, Henry Green, colored, becoming
his surety in the sum of $500.

THAT arrant copperbead sheet, the
Lancaster Examiner, which supported
Grant for two terms and urged him for
a third, declares against entrusting mere
soldiers with the reins Of the civil gov

to be the helpless supporters Of a policy we
believe to the very worst that could Re
devised. An opportunity is presented us
now for the first time with any show of
success to vote in accordance with our con-
victions, and am sure we shall do it most
joyfully. With great respect and esteem,
believe me yours faithfully.

presentation to MIR. Gates.
On Monday afternoon the pupils of the
first class of Mr.. Gates's secondary school,
who have just been transferred to the
high school, surprised their late teacher
by visiting him in a body at his residence
OH West Chestnut street, where one Of
their number, Master Charlie d. Myers,
in few fitting remarks, presented him
with a handsome silver ice pitcher as a
token of the esteem and regard to which he
is held by his late pupils. Though ''taken
unawares." the learned pedagogue sue
ceeded in expressing his thanks for the
beautiful gift and returned the boys
compliment by inviting them all to
visit him last night, a call which it
is perhaps unnecessary to state, was
cheerfully needed, and last night Mr..
Gates entertained them in handsome
style. The evening was pleasantly spent
in storytelling, jokes, anecdotes and
music, and last, but by no means least,
a royal collation. to which the fullest need
of justice was rendered by the hungry
school-boys. The occasion will long be
remembered by all who participated as a
thoroughly enjoyable one.
