going on one side of the track and
some on the other. The engineer and
fireman escaped unhurt. The postal
car contained four clerks; this q
almost instantly took fire, and burned
like gunpowder, the oil lamps used
probably exploded, and added fuel to
the FIRE from the stove. Every man in
the car was roasted to a crisp. The
remains of one who weighed 200 fbs.,
were gathered up and put in a small
box. In the express a was a messen-
ger, Henry C. Brewer, OF Elmira, and
efforts were made to relieve him; a hole
was cut in the side door of the car, SO
that he got his head out, but his legs
were fastened by a piled up mass Of
express matter. The train men tried
pull him out, but the flames drove
them away. They saw his hair and
whiskers burned of, then he put his
hands up to his eyes and fell back into
the flames. Five men in all were
burned. No passengers were injured.
The men in the postal car must have
persisted very quickly, as not a sound
came from the wreck except the crack
ling flames. The names Of the dead
are Joseph Eedinger, mail agent; Hen
ny c. Brewer, express agent; and mail
agents Seybolt, of Mount Hope; Ingra-
ham Of Binghampton; and mail weigh

precedent when negotiations are begun
with England. The result, If success
full, would be disastrous to Indian
finances.

A Fall of Black Snow.
Mt. Pleasant, Pa, Times.

Persons from Laurel Hill report 3
queer stery from that section. A gentle
man from there remarked that they had
fail of black snow last week. The snow
fell 10 the depth or an inch, aud instead of
the usually white, faky clement it was
dark end sooty IN color. Immediately
following the descent Of the snow fami-
lies residing in the ncighborhool were
attacked with sore throst aud the Young
er portion with measles. The theory all
vanccd is that the smoke, SCOT and Other
impurities from the hundreds OF coke
ovens IN this vicinity had been collected
in the atmosphere and by an unusual d.
recllon of the wind had been driven to
Laurel Hill and fell, mingled with u
snow-storm. That the measles aud sore
throa; tina: followed was due to the fact
of these sooty particles collecting and re-
tanning germs Of the diseases in this place
and vicinity, and coptaminaling the al
mosphere where they fell.

Sorghum, Sugar.

Among our imports ono of the most ex
pensive items is sugar. we seed about
SIS 100000 out of the country annually
for this article alone. Commissioner LIE
Due still insists that we might as well
save most of this money, aud his opinion
is sustained by Chemist Collier, of tho
Agricultural Bureau, and Prof. Barefoot,
of The Deseret Museum, Salt Lake City,
and other scientific gentlemen who pro-
fess 10 know all abnut the subject. Mr..
LIE Due pins his faith 10 sorghum. Very
encouraging accounts have been received
from people who made sugar from sorgh-
UNI last year. The average per acre OBJ
tair.ed throughout the United States was
166 gallons of juice, the syrup weighing
from II to 12 pounds per gallon, out of
which there should be obtained at least
six or eight pounds of sugar. Persons
experienced in the business have raised
as high as 500 gallons TO the acre, but
300 gallons is quite within possibility as
"A crop on proper soil with ordinary sea-
son and good cultivation. This would
give 1890 pounds OF graduated sweet.
ness. The sugar is capable of making
the highest grades, according to lie Due
and Collier; aad Barefoot. The cane will
produce about MS much in one latitude as
in another, taking 1t in the climate where
it will ripcn. There is not much differ
ence between the sorghum aud the sugar
cane as 10 yield. Planting should cons
mence as early as corn, and the ground
placed in thorough cultivation, fully
broken, we'll narrowed aud smoolhpd.
Tic MODE Of cultivation is not different
from that Of corn. But Mr.. LIE Due
warns sorghum raisers not TO plant on
clay soil; a sandy, loamy soil Is best, and
new ground is preferable to old. The
prospect is good for large crop through
out the country next season. Mr.. lie
Due complains that Congress has not
given him half chance in his experi-
ments with sorghum. He would like 10
undertake sugar makingon an extensive
scale, with the best machinery ard plenty
of room and nobody TO- Interfere. 1t
