TIE train bearing Eastern newspa-
per correspondents to President Gsrheld's
funeral at Cleveland struck a hand-car near
Beaver Falls, Pa, on the oath, and killed four
men outright, and injured one SO badly that
he died In few minutes. There were six
men on the car; the other man jumped sixty
feet to the bottom OF the ravine and escaped
with only sprained leg and arm. The train
was running with pony engine ahead, and
the train was coming, but thought they could
get to Beaver Falls, where they were working
on the bridge. When the engine struck the
car It lifted 1t from the track and horribly
mangled one man so that the mass Of human
gore lay stringing from the track for ten feet
along the ground. Two men fell dead, one
on each side of the track and nearly under
the trestle- One man was thrown a consider
able distance and his Hfeless carcass half
buried in the sand.

| stroyed. Some of the mills also sustained
damages. Business houses and residences

ished. The track of the hurricane was two
miles wide. The streets Of Quincy were strewn
with debris, some Of them being absolutely
