a TERRIBLE WRECK ON THE
T. & C. RAILROAD.

On Wednesday evening last, about o'clock,
while a train Of sixty-eight or seventy cars load
ed with coal with an engine before and one be.
hind pushing was going down the mountain
on the Tyrone Clearheid Railroad, Tie
front engine jumped the track while rounding the
curve at the "Big Fill," and rolled down the
mountain quite distance, followed BY thirty or
more care. The engine is a complete wreck as
well as tho cars and coal. The engine was In
charge Of A. ]. Latham, engineer, (bettor known
along the road as "Yank,') and John IIalli-
gan, fireman. The fireman was carried beneath
the wreck, and ten cars with two hundred tons of
coal were piled upon him. The body lay under
the wreck all night, and was not discovered until
near boon on Thursday. His injuries were very
bad Tho body was all mashed, hole made
through the breast, and his head crushed. His
remains were removed to Tyrone. "YLns,"
the engineer, was reported at hrst to be fatally
injured, but It was erronious When picked up
the indications were that he was hurt badly, but
prospects are now favorable for hisspeody recov-
cry. lie was cut abou; the head aud bruised con-
slightly injured, and two brake men escaped
with sprainei ankles. The crow Of the "pusher"
escaped unhurt. The cause Of the accident is
unknown. The unfortunate fireman who was
killed was a single man, aged 20 years, and re-
sided with his parents at Tyrone.
The philipsburg Journal in speaking Of the
wreck says Engine No. "A seems to bear an
III fatei e1isiance, as some years ago this same
number, II not the same engine, exploded at
Monisdale Mines, then under charge Of engineer
Duke Cox, but with no loss Of lifo"

common sense. Read It;
Equally busy and equally unpleasant are
those unfrolessioua prophets, the experienced

actions Of animals and base their prophecies
thereon. They have gone not merely to the ant,

other leading beasts opposed to be learned in
me;oorology, and have gained from them inl0r-

best answer to this argument in ayor Of a severe
Winter is to deny 1t entirely. It may also be
added that squirrels know nothing about the
weather and are mendaeious and uBtrustwortby
toasts.
"rhc Winter may or may not ba severe OF
this We can judge much better 'ix months hence
than now We shallmake great mistake, how
ever, If VIC accept the opinion Of wild animals on
the subject. 1t is true their minds are not con-
taminatod by meteorology, but we have no reason
to believe that on the whole they know an y mare
about the weather than does Venner or Tcc.
