feet above tidewater, and is reached by
a good carriage road leading up the
mountain from the station at Pen Mar.
This station is located OH the line
that divides Maryland and Pennsylva.
MIA, and in according to it name the
names of the two States have been d.
vided and the FIRST syllable taken from
each for the purpose. From the o5serv-
atory on "High Rock the excursionists
got no glimpses of stalactites, but they
had probably as beautiful a birds eye
view of lovely valley scenery as can he
found on the American Continent. For
a radius of about seventy miles the en-
chanting spectacle spread itself before
the view of the more than charmed
visitors, who, from that lofty crag, ov-
erlooked portions of four States, VIZ.
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. The day was so beau
tiiully clear that there was no difficulty
in distinguishing by unaided vision the
peculiar form of the Massanutton
Mountain, which is in shape atruncated
pyramid.
This was the last notew orthy feature
of the trip. Upon resuming the cars
the party was taken to Baltimore, and
thence brought to this city via the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad. To remark that those who
were so fortunate as 10 be of the party
thoroughly enjoyed the trip would be
giving but an additional repetition to
the oft repeated expressions Of that kind
that were made use of by the excursion
lists themselves, and it is altogether safe
to assume that among the pleasantest
recollectious of those who participated
those which will cluster abont the trip
'To Luray and return, October S to Z,
$780," will long remain among the
Ureenest

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
TWENTY Four Persons KILLED. Pirrs-
BURG, Pa, Oct. 10.-A trightful COLI
sion occurred last night at midnight on
the Pennsylvania railroad, near the
Twenty-eighth street crossing. Nine
people were killed outright and eleven
more have died since, making in all
twenty deaths, while as many more
are dangerously hurt, and physicians
say they cannot recover. 1u addition
to these there are a large number who
are slightly injured. 1t appears that
the first section OF the Walls accommo-
dation train going east left the Union
depot at 1881 p. NJ, having large
number of passengers WHO had come
to the city to participate in the closing
exercises of the exposition and witness
the democratic demonstration. The
back platform was so crowded that the
ght on the second section follow
ing could not be seen. The first section
stopped at the regular station at Tween
ty-eighth street, where they were de-
layed on account of another train which
was in the next block. The second
section came along at good speed, but
owing TO the crowd on the back plat
form OF the first section the signal lights
were hidden from view, and consequent
ly the engineer Of the second section
did not see the train ahead of him until
he was so near that his train could not
be checked in time to prevent COLI
sion, and the engine went crashing into
the rear coach of the first section, pack
ed as it was with human beings. The
engine buried itself to the very cab win
dow among screaming, suffering men,
women and children, mangling all who
were in its course. The boiler head Of
The colliding engine was burst off by
the shock and the scalding water and
steam poured over the occupants of the
car as il bent on completing the horri-
bic work that had gone before. 1t is
impossible to describe the fearful scene
that followed. The means of the dying
and the wounded and the shrieks Of
those who had lost friends were fright
tul. Word was Immediately telegrapbed
to the mayors office for assistance, and
twenty-five policemen, with full corps
of physicians and wagons, were dis
patched at once TO the scene of the dis
aster, where they were soon busily en-
ployed in alternating the sufieriugs Of
the victims and clearing away the wreck.
The wounded who were unable TO care
for themselves were carried to the sol
diers' hospital, but short distance
from the accident.

Shepherdstown 10 pay their sister Wis

found their way estopped by the block
ade of the Potomac. AD effort to cross,
which failed, was followed by a violent
a attack of fever in Miss Eugenia Nc
dree, whose case so enlisted The sympa-
th,es of powerful friends at Washington,
that an order from Gen. Scott, then
COMMANDMENT Chief, was placed in the
hands of q gentleman of Washington,
directing that Miss Mamie be passed
through the Union lines and her moth
er be permitted to cross over into Mary
land and return with her sick daughter,
under flag OF truce to Shepherdstowu.
The order was brought to Hagers-
town by the Washington gentlemen,
at whose request, We accompanied Miss
Mamie McEndree aud hirnselfin hack
to Harper's Ferry, which had been re
occupied by the Union forces, and was
the only available point through which
it was possible to penetrate the hostile

aud now, AS we drove over the battle
field ard through the mountain roads so
familiar, first to Old John Brown and
then to the tread Of the two armies,
there was nothing but desolation and
scarcely soul to be seen. Now every
thing around bespeaks life and comfort
Arrived opposite the Ferry, every
courtesy was shown rs by the U. S.

never to be effaced, when young girl,

without nervous twitch, to enter
