WRECKING A TRAIN.

Lives Lost on the Schuylkin & Lehigh r. X.
An accident occurred yesterday on the
Schuylkill & Lehigh railroad to passen-
ger train, at 4 curve n, ar Lcnhartsville,
which resulted in tho death of Charles
Mathews, the fireman, and the serious
injury of John Herbine, the engineer.
The cause of tho accident was log
several feet in circumference, which
had been placed on the road with
tho evident design of wrecking the passen-
ger train while on its way from Slatington
to Reading. One end of the log had been
thrust under one of the iron rails. and the
other end rested ON the opposite rail of the
track, which prevented the log from being
thrown to one side, and it completely
wrecked the train. The engine ran off the
track, with all tho cars, which were de-
molished by load of iron rails that had
been placed on freight car and attached
to the rear of the passenger train.
Shortly after the accident some persons
dent searched for the body of Math-
ews. After long and continuous search
they found it under the engine, covered
with mud. The body was horribly crushed
and scalded by, escaping steam. Several
passengers were also killed, but owing to
the excitement their condition and names
cannot be learned. The wreckers of the
& Reading railroad are
upon the scene of the accident, clearing
away the debris, and making the tracks
for trains. The fireman, Math-
ews, is a resident Of Reading, aged 80
years and leaves q wife and family. He
was also clergyman for the past eight
years was delegated to the convention of
the American Protestant association,
which was in session at Philadelphia last
week. No arrests have as yet been made.
Nothing is known as to who the guilty
parties are that placed the piles upon the
track for the purpose of causing terrible
accident to life and property.

DOWN THE RIVER.


Passenger engine No. 1914, on the G. s. p.
d. railroad, struck two COWS one afternoon
last week. The frs. one, which was the
property Of Mr.. Jacob Shultz, of this
place. was struck at the upper end Of
town by the train going south, and in
stantly killed. The other. the property Of
Mr.. Martin Htner, was struck about half
mile south by the same train going
north, and had both legs brken. She had
to be killed.
Mr.. Jos. X. Shultz is the owner OF q
COW of rare merit. She produces from
seven to eight pounds Of butter every
week, besi'les the milk that is used in tho
family. But last week she produced eight
pounds Of butter and three quarts of
cream which were sold during the week,
in addition to what milk was required for
family use. And then she gets very little
more than what she finds for herself. She
is Thoroughbred Democratic cow"

He said he cared not whom he offended.
he intended to speak plainly. He had
been cautioned against uttering his senti
ments, and told that even if what he said
were true the Pennsylvania people
pie were powerful. He cared nothing
for such advice; for the property
of the Reading and every other cor
porations was in greater danger to-day
from the evils enumerated than from any
thing else under the sun but if in the
game for wealth railroad men played with
loaded dice, if they laid their hands upon
certain amount of money out of every
transaction, if they corrupted Legislatures,
if they went in league with all that was
bad and evil in the community, they did
more harm than an army marching under
devastating banners. Not man in the
employ of the Reading. Office had ever
feathered his nest at the expense of the
company, but how with the people across
Vikings alley? Why, just to get inside
of their vestibules was to get rich. 1t was
with shame that he confessed that no
state had suffered from political corrup-
tion as much as Pennsylvania and no city
as much as Philadelphia, and no rail-
road was so guilty in this regard as the
Pennsylvania. From the repeal of the
tonnage tax law up to few years ago
it owned the Legislature its MEM
bers were paid in yellow envelopes,
and the places where they were paid were
known. The time would come, however,
when this corrupt corporation would be
overwhelmed in the ruins Of q popular
earthquake. To-day was day of discus
sion tomorrow might be q day of action
and retribution. God help them if the
tempest overwhelmed them.

This was in real case admitted as a
will. True, there were no witnesses but
the law of the state (Louisiana) allowed a
will wholly in the handwriting of the
maker to be received without witnesses,
his autograph being deemed proof that he
intended the contents. 1t is also true that
there was a lawsuit and Mrs. Loper
might perhaps have failed to receive the
bequest if there had not been other memo
randa, which the court said removed any
doubt whether Ehrenberg considered that
he was making will. The judges thought
that the words is my heiress" fairly

have the writer's property after his death.

erty after death.

Judges Drummond and Gresham Re
fuse George Gould an Injunction.

The little scheme of George Gould, son OF
Jay Gould, the great railroad King, to get
control of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
seems to have fallen through, as he was
foiled in his efforts to obtain an injunction
to restrain the Garrett party from voting
certain stocks at the meeting of the stock
holders of the road at Cincinnati Thursday
Jay Gould and associates claim the
right to vote certain stocks in the Ohio
and Mississippi Company as owners, and
other stocks by virtue of Iroxies. He made
an appeal to the United States Court on
Wednesday for an injunction against John
w. Garrett and Others of the Baltimore and
Ohio Road, to restrain them and those hold
ing the election from voting the stock
which Gould and his associates claim the
right to vote. The motion that was made
and denied was renewed yesterday morn
ing before Judges Drummond and Gresham,
sitting together. After Governor Hendricks
read his bill and stated his case in a general
way, the Court declined to entertain
the motion on the ground that the parties
ar controversy were in Court of COM
Detent jurisdiction at Cincinnati, which
and on the further ground that it was not
proper for one party TO the controversy in
the Court at Cincinnati, without notice to
the other, to come to this jurisdiction for an
injunction TO operate against the pan ties and
controversy over which the Ohio Court
had already taken jurisdiction.

How COlOred People are treated
in Pike Township.
GuiOn wants an Ignorant Teach

Some time ago we mentioned the fact that
some colored children had been refused adj
mission to one of the public schools in Pike
Township, this county, and that no provision
had been made for them. The schools have
been in session for more than month, yet
these colored children have been kept out of
the school in their district, and no separate
school has been established for them
Jesse Guion, the Republican trustee of
Pike Township, allowed these children to en-
ter the school with white children the first
day, but when prominent Democrat object
ed to the admission of colored children TO
the school, Mr.. Guion had not the backbone
to stand up and see jnstice done, and has not
even provided any school for them.
Mr.. Guion told the colored people that he
would establish school in their church, but
when Mr.. Nash, colored teacher of expert
ence, applied for the school, he was inform
ed by Guyon that he did not want really
educated teacher for the SCHOOL, but one
who could "barely pass an examination" as
| the money would not pay a real teacher
In the history of schools we never heard of q
teachers application being refused on &C
count of too much education. Mr.. Nash Sc
cured position in Wayne Township and is
teaching while Trustee Guion, of Pike il
| still looking for a colored teacher with ;
| very limited amount of education, and tn,
colored children of Pike are without schoo
The colored people of Pike are justly indig
| nant at the Trustees action they say ida
| they helped to elect him but will be NOR
careful how they vote in the future. If thu
matter is not remedied soon, the case will
| doubtless be tested in the courts.

fore winter sets in. The brickwork on the
north half of the building is in very
promising condition. The marble pilasters
in the center and south half are all set and
finished in their places. The granite and
limestone bases for the piers and columns of
the south half are all set. A few iron beams
remain to be set around the dome
foundation, which will complete the first
