COLLISION AT BELMONT.

A frightful collision occurred at Bel
mont about o'clock on Saturday morn.
ing, between the passenger train west
on the B. & o. Railroad, and the east.
bound freight standing on the main
track ut that point. The engineer of the
freight, Wn. Armstrong of Newark,
who was in the cab of his engine had
one of his feet so badly crushed that
amputation was necessary. Brakeman
NJ. Baily, who it appears by the sta: e.
ment of the conductor of the freight
had been sent forward to flag west
bound freight. which was to have pass
ed the train lying at that point was also
upon the engine asleep, and was killed
outright, his body being terribly mutila-
ted. The engines and passenger cars
were badly wrecked, and many of the
passengers were considerably bruised
and worse frightened, though none were
dangerously hurt. The scene in the
sleeper it is said, beggars description.
The Bellaire Independent of Saturday
evening, has the following, as account
ing for the accident:
The freight train coming this way
(east) had orders to remain at Belmont
until freight going west wo'd reach the
siding at that place, and the one coming
east to hold the main track. BY some
means or other, the passenger train got
to Belmont before the freight, and hav-
ing no knowledge of the freight being
on the main track, they rushed ahead
pell nell with the above result. All we
could learn of the freight that was to
have gone in on the siding at Belmont
was that it did not get there, the one
waiting for it had waited for nearly two
hours, and us the men have been going
almost all the time, night and day, it
was supposed they were asleep, although
nothing definite is known. Mr.. Arm
strong, the engineer, is in a very preca-
rious condition. His wife arrived at
Belmont this morning, and will take
care of him, but he is very badly bruis-
ed man, and may not recover. The man
Griffith, who was bruised on the passen-
ger engine, is brother-in-law of Mr..
Zach. Pumphrey, of this city. The pas
Not one of them will be rua even to the
shops without repairs.
Since the above was put in type we
learn that the bodies of the dead and
wounded have all been removed to their
homes, so far as was practicable. Fortu-
nately, none of the passengers were so
seriously injured but that little patch
ing and doctoring enabled them to look
out for themselves.
We learn further that the freight
train going west from this place found
it impossible to make the Belmont 81
ding where the wrecked freight was
waiting for it before the passenger train,
going in the same direction, would over
take it, so they took the siding at Lewis
Mills to let the passenger train pass
them, and there being no telegraph Of
flee, no word could be sent to the train
that was standing on the main track. 1t
looks as if the accident was the result
of gross, if not criminal, negligence on
the part of some one.

If every Republican voted as he shot,
many back alleys are chuck full of bal
lots.--St. Clairsville Gazette.
The above is about on par with the
villainous stuff that filled the Democrat
ic sheets when the soldiers of the Re-
public were at the front battling for the
Union cause from 81 to '65. "Republi-
can" in those days was synonymous
with soldiers FRIEND" and so it has
been ever since. 1t is quite likely that
the editor of the Gazette was in his
minority in those stirring days, when a
patriot was known by the political party
to which he was allied. If he was,
his political education was directed in
the channel from which emanated seces-
sionlsts and rebels in the South, dis
uni0niSts, draft-resisters and Canada
refugees in the North. He was proba-
bly, too young to recollect these things,
and has not taken the pains to inform
himself concerning them, which, in a
measure, may excuse him for the above
dirty alluSiOn.

PRESIDENT CLARK and Sec'y Carroll

PRESIDENT CLARK and Sec'y Carroll
of the Northern railway have returned
from their eastern trip, the object of
which was the purchase of rolling stock,
without having definitely contracted for
the same. They found all the Locomo-
tive building shops full of orders, so
that the exact machine desired could not
be had before the middle of January,
and that only at Pittsburgh-the Works
at Philadelphia and Wilmington having
contracts requiring their entire capacity
until July and August. A movement is
now on foot to lease an engine until one
can be built.

THREE years ago one of the walls of
the Bellaire Goblet Works fell during a
wind storm, killing one of their en-
ployes named Small. The legal repre-
sentatives of Small claimed damages for
the loss sustained by the accident, and
being unable to come to any amicable
settlement with the company, brought
suit against them by their attorneys, the
rallman Bros, in our Common Pleas,
alleging that the wall blown down was
defective in construction, and that ordi-
nary care was not taken by the company
10 provide a secure building for their
employees and placing damages at $1O,
600. Messrs. st. Clair Kelly, Reese, and
Gallagher, represented the defense. The
case occupied the attention of the Court
for about three days, and the jury, judg
ing from the time it WAS out, had some
difficulty in arriving at a verdict. On
Monday morning they returned into
court with verdict of So in favor of
the plaintiff.

THE cold snap which we are experien-
cling in this region, extends over the en-
tire country. At a number of points in
Ohio the mercury fell even lower than
in Belmont county, where it reached six
degrees below zero. At New Philadel-
phia on Friday it marked 16o below,
Newcomerston l5 , Newark II > Della
ware IL : below, and from that to zero at
all points in Ohio. In the West and
Northwest we have not observed that the
cold has been more severe, while in the
East it has been much the same. Navi-
cation has practically closed on all the
Northern lakes and rivers, and winter
reigns supreme.

BECAUSE a number of respectable
Democrats in this precinct thought
proper to vote for the continuance of a
faithful public official in the Sheriff s
office, the Gazette therefore concludes
that it was Sheriff Hilles' duty to retain
Frank Rice as Janitor. Upon inquiry
the Gazette man might discover that all
Democrats in the township are not we'd
ded to Mr. Rice, and that many of them
are not panied because of the change.
Mr.. Rice accepted the position of Weigh
master of the village, the duties of which
during Court would interfere with his
duties as Janitor, hence the change be-
came nee ,ssary. Besides. the Sheriff
had the privilege of selecting his own
aids, and if he selects such as discharge
their dut es faithfully to the public, the
Gazette man shouldn't tear his clothing
about it. Another thing, Republicans
are not fretting because a Democratic
Auditor, Probate Judge, Clerk and
Treasurer, do not employ Republican As
sistants.
