RAILROAD TRAGEDY.


Family spared Grief which Over
Whelms AnOIher.
This forenoon engine Ne. sos. attached
to Niagara and Chicago Express, ON the
Pennsylvania railroad, struck horse and
buggy containing lady and gentleman.
at the first road crossing west Of
Salunga. The persons were seriously
injured and were taken to Mt. Joy
on the same train, where they were
left in charge of the station agent. The
man died shortly after reaching Mt. Joy
and his wife died soon afterwards. 1t was
not known who the parties were when
they we're first taken to Mt. Joy, but they
have since been recognized as Rev. Mr..
Specht and wife, of Mannheim. The horse
which was driven by Mr.. Specht was SO
badly injured that he died soon after the
accident. The buggy was broken to
pieces.
Near the railroad crossing where the ac-
cident occurred there is cornfield, which
probably prevented Mr.. Specht and his
wife from seeing the train.
The full name of the deceased man is
Rev. Joseph Specht, and he was minister
in the Evangelical church, He and his
wife leave family in Mannheim.
Who He Was. '
Rev. James A. Feger, pastor Of the Eng
lish Evangelical church in this city, was
very we'll acquainted with deceased, and
speaks in the highest terms of him. Rev.
Joseph Specht was Al years old; he en-
tered the Evangelical conference in 1858,
and was ordained to preach in 1860 and
1862. He las served in numerous charges
with great appreciation and while at
Reading fourteen years ago solemnized the
marriage of Rev. Feger and wife. They
were greatly shocked at the news of his
terrible fate. His wife's name was Annie
and she was AZ years old !; they left a son
and daughter, aged 16 and 1S years. Rev.
Specht was about four years ago Oh the
Lancaster circuit and preached at Millers-
vile. He has been at Mannheim two years.
He was short of stature, with full whiskers,
Of dark color and thick growth. and was
considered one of the best preachers in the
Evangelical denomination.

GENTLEMEN: Allow ME, as an old reader of
your valued journal, herewith to send you q
few lines. which please insert in your next Is

that by their publication q great deal of good

of your paper for many years, 1 hope you will
kindly grant my request.
For twelve years 1 had suffered. from time
to time, terribly With Rheumatism, to such an
extent that was unable to move about and
lost the use of my limbs. 1 tried everything
recommended to effect u cure, consulted some
of the most prominent physicians and expend-
ell large sums of money. hoping to ind relief,
but without any success. CHANGING over the
columns of the :" Wachter," read about the
ST. JACOBS OIL and the MANY cures this re-
medy had effected. Having been disappointed
so many times, lost all faith in any remedy,
the ST. JACOBS OIL included, until 1 saw one
day that it had cured u well-knOwn citizen
with whom 1 am acquainted. Other parties
fully endorsed the value and wonderful power
OF the OIL, telling me that it had cured them of
different ailments in Il very short time. This
brought me to a conclusion. said to myself,
Schweizer. fifty cents won't break you - so 1
went to my druggist, MIR. Book, bought u bot
tie of the OIL, and must now confess that the
result was truly wonderful. l used 1t every
two hours, and found relief Immediately upon
the first application, and the pain ceased en-
tirely after u few more applications. Fearing
!: new attack, 1 remained in bed and continued
to use the remedy every three hours. All pain
having left ME, arose from my bed and walk
ed down stairs without any trouble.
Since that time have been able to follow my
occupation and feel NO pains sOrinconvenience, or
however disagreeable the changes of the
weather may be. Having thoroughly tested

fifty cents is q small expense when the services
for so trifiing an outlay are considered. If

remedy and keep 1t always in my house.

PICNIC No. I.
Sicily Island and its Many Attractions
A Fine Picnic Ground.

| Sicily Island and its Many Attractions
A Fine Picnic Ground.
The excursion train to Sicily Island, left
this city yesterday morning shortly before
o'clock, and arrived at Fitc's Eddy at
$50. From the station, on this side of the
| river, the eXcursionists were taken over to
the island on a large ferry boat, which will
hold almost one hundred persons. Upon
arriving at the island the excursionists i'm
mediately began to amuse themselves in
different ways. Many Of the gentlemen
spent the day fishing, while others enjoy
| ed shooting match at glass balls, OH the
small island, which is a short distance
from the larger one. During the day there
was dancing on the large platform, to the
inspiring music ofTaylOr's orchestra which
accompanied the excursion. a large num-
Der of row boats had been chartered by the
association, and they were used by the ex-
cursionists free of charge. Many of the
party took their dinners with them, and
others purchased their meals at very rea-
sonable rates at the table, which was spread
by the club.
The island has been fitted up in fine style.
The house. which is of two stories, with
two rooms up stairs and four down. has
been completed. 1t is furnished with cots
and is in charge of a man, who, with his
mother, lives in it. The dancing platform
is elevated about five feet from the ground,
and from thirty to forty couples can dance
upon it at one time. The island is very
clean, and it is one of the finest places in
this vicinity for holding picnics. 1t is
about twenty feet above the level of the
river, and is considered a very healthy place.
The ride to and from the island is beauti-
full, and with its many attractions there
is no reason why it should not become
a popular resort for persons desiring to
hold pleasant picnic for a day or to go
fishing for a week. The fishing is very
good at this point, as some of the gentle
men who brought long strings home last
evening can testify.
The excursiOnists arrived in this city
shortly after nine o'clock in the evening,
having returned on a special train furnish
ed by the Pennsylvania railroad company.
On the train was an observation car, which
was filled with large and comfortable
chairs, and passengers on board of it had
an excellent opportunity of enjoying
the lovely scenery along the route.
The cxcursionists all enjoyed themselves
heartily and they are loud in their praises
of the gentlemen of the club, who did all
in their power to show them a splendid
time.

Arrested On Suspicion,

l.. f. Iluggins, phrenOlogist, magne tist
and agent for books on physiology
and who resides at 4S Fifth street, Read
ing, was arrested at the City hotel last
evening by Chief Of Police Deichler, on
suspicion Of being thief. Amos Frick is
regular boarrler at the City hotel, where
for some days past IIugsins has been stop
ping. Some. time yesterday the room
of Frick was entered by some one.
who broke open his trunk and stole
4 silver watch worth $45 besides some
valuable shirt studs and sleeve buttons.
When arrested higgins had two watches
on his person, one of which was gold and
the other silver He obtained the latter
watch by trading 4 ring for it, to a young
man at the hotel. Neither of the watches
was identified by Frick as being his
property, and if Hugg;ns is the man who
robbed him it is believed that he has
disposed Of the property. Several jewelers.
in town say that they have seen the gold
watch found on Hugg ins before. One
says that a man, answering the description
of Hugggins came to his store yesterday,
and asked whether he could sell a watch
there, but he did not then show it. 1t is
s,id that when Huggins first came to town
he did not have any watch. Since he has
been ut the hotel hc has been in the habit
of spending a good deal of his time up
stairs.
The accused is a man apparently about
40 years Of age, and since he has been in
town he has been selling book on physi-
olosy. He will have hearing this evening
before Alderman Donnelly of the Seventh
ward, before whom complaint was
made.

" Light Up!"

The lamp on Plum street, near the Penn
iron works, was not lit last night,
greatly to the annoyance and inconveni-
ence of residents and pedestrians in that
locality. Some time ago similar neglect
was the cause of very serious injury to
Mr.. Albert Lindsey, of the Penn iron
works, who on account of the darkness did
not see gas trench that had been dug
there, and falling into it was 80 badly hurt
that his physicians at one time were in
doubt of his recovery. When Ajax strus-
gled with the gods in darkness his cry was
for light, and the same demand comes
equally loud from the neighborhood of the
iron works.

We are informed that the attempt of the
young Republicans to organize Garfield
club at Snyder's saloon, in the Eighth
ward, was very decided fizzle. The at
tendance was very small, and nearly all
present were boys from sixteen to twenty
years of age. No organization was effect
ed, nor is it likely that one can be effected
in that staunch old Democratic ward.

Most of the readers whose eyes scan these
pages have suffered from headache, lassitude,
nausea or pains in the back but we doubt If
they knew what the cause was. In nine cases
out of ten it was some trouble with the kid

become known. and the result which Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has accomplished.
The above named troubles are caused by dis
ordered kidneys and liver, and the remedy
which cures the cause banishes the pains
