RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Whole Train Of Passenger Cars Throws
From the Track.

A Whole Train Of Passenger Cars Thrown
From the Track.
This morning between and 0 o'clock a
wreck occurred on the Pennsylvania rail-
road at the curve just west of ROherstOwn.
The cars Of the Columbia accommodation,
due here at 9:1O were thrown from the
track. At tho point where tho accident
occurred the track is in . cut. The acci-
dent was caused by tho spreading of the
track, the ties being IN bad cOndi-
tiOn. There were three passenger
coaches and one baggago.car on the train.
They all jumped the track and when the
train was stopped the tank of the engine
was off. The cars were full of passengers,
but not one was injured in the least. The
cars are lying Oh their sides against the
embankment, some are badly damaged,
tho brakes, and trucks being broken.
When the accident occurred the train was
running at its usual speed, which is high
and it was = great wonder that no one
was injured The whole train ran at least
a square after the cars had left the track.
Immediately after tho accident the Co.
lumbia wrecking train was sent for. Upon
it's arrival the men were put to work
clearing up. Tho south track has been
6lockaded all day. Freight and passenger
trains arc running around Gil tho north
track and business has been delayed but
little. A train was made up III this city
and was sent up to the wreck to bring
pa sseDgcrs, SC. 1t afterwards left for
Philadelphia as the accommodation.
A number of people were in the train
from this city and they state that they
were badly shaken up and terribly scared.
The engine which was attached to the
wrecked train was number G73 in charge
of PaxsOn Ottey, engineer.

CRAZED BY HIS LOSSES.
sPECULAToR BECOMES INSANE

What Followed the Bad Fortune Ex-
perienced by . Wealthy Uil Operator
During tho Late Excitement.
The effects Of the late furry in oil are
becoming apparent. The advance was 50
rapid, SO unprecedented and SO unex-
pected that the losses sustained by some
men were enormous. W. D. Archibold,
one of the most respected and
most solid financial men in the
exchange at Oil City, has been deprived
of his reason, temporarily at least, by his
great losses and excitement and worry in
cident thereto. For the past month his
business has averaged quite a million bar
rels daily, and during the past five years he
has not been absent from the exchange
On business days. The strain was so
great upon his mental faculties that they
gave away about neon Thursday. He
left the exchange aud went to Que of the
hotels and procured basket of lunch and
strolled out into the woods, telling the
person Of whom he procured it to say
nothing about his getting it. During the
afternoon his doorkeeper became alarmed
and telegraphed to his home in Titusville
to learn if lie had been there. The reply
was in the negative. 1t stated that lie
had written to his wife, bidding her good
by. Tho belief then became prevalent
that he had committed suicide. A
searching party was organized and during
the evening he was found in a small
isolated cottage a short distance out of
town. H. was taken to his home. The
unfortunate man is now confined to his
his bed in a, critical condition.
The president Of the exchange this
morning announced that Archibold had
made an assignment and during the day
sold 40, 900 barrels Of oil under the rule
for his day account. Tho man is COM
plete wreck mcuta!ly from excitement and
OverwOrk. dis losses are said to bc the
result of the failures Of outside parties.
One firm in Albany alone is said to have
laid down on him Tor $4,000. The affair
causes deep repret among business men, as
Arch;bo!d was great favOrite. The
failure caused no panic in the market
though prices declined somewhat.

was arraigned before the Methodist con.
ference of Lincoln, ILL.,, as a forger, per-

1T is announced that Controller Pattison
will make a brief tour of the state between
now and election day. So the promise
made just after his nomination that the
Democratic candidate would he heard
from before the campaign closes seems
likely to be realized. The uttcrances of
Mr.. Pattison thus far since the Harrisburg
convention have been such that the bosses
may view with apprehension a renewal of
the brOadside contained in his Common.
wealth club speech, the echo of which is
still resounding to the corners Of the
state.
CAMERON will endeavOr to offset the
effect of the defeat Of sOme of his candi-
dates for senator by storming Democratic
citadels hitherto considered hopeless. A
case in point is the nomination Of Indian

second district, composed of the Demo-
cratic counties of Adams and Cumber-
land. The candidates great wealth en-.
sIrcs an enormous corruption fund, and
os this rock the Republicans are anchoring
their hopes of success. 1t behooves the
Democrats Of these counties to guard care
fully their lines SO that when November
comes the Cameron dynasty may be sunk
deeper than plummet can sound.
"THE abolition of unnecessary Offices,
the reduction Of the number of public
dependents, the narrowing of response
bility and economy in the public expense,
constitute an urgent and practical reform.
This would be substantial benefit to the
people. To lessen the cost of government
lightens the burdens Of labor. The authors
and abet..Jrs Of the evils under which the
/ people suffer are now on their trial in this
commonwealth. Aftcra long stewardship
they will be judged by deeds and not by
declarations. Professions are easily made !;
but the people have been fed on such dry

determine who shall be their servants, not
what is promised for the future, but by
what has been done in the past. .''-Ffom

WHERE DOES nOYT srANDy
He Will Not Speak for Beaver-YIil lie Sup
port Stewart?

He VIII Not Speak for Beaver-WIil lie Sup
port Stewart?
Governor HOyt has returned to Wilkes
barre for q rest among his old home
friends, and he talks freely upon politica
topics among his intimate acquaintances
is not a secret that he regards the
Cameron machine as certain to meet a
Waterloo defeat in November, if Stewart
and Beaver shall remain in the field. He
sincerely desires the success Of a creditabls
Republican ticket, composed Of men whu
are for the Republican party first, and not
for faction or bosses at any time but he
has no such result to expect from Beaver
ad he regards Beavers election as utterly
hopeless. In nc town in the state is the
Republican detection 50 wide and deeI
among the more intelligent Republicans as
in his own community. The Independents
are not merely the Wolfe men are still In
dependents, but the Stewart movement is
supported by nearly all the most infiuen.
tial Republicans of the county.
1t is safe to say that Governor Hoyt
will refuse to speak for Beaver. He viii
most likely be silent in the contest, as he
holds the first Office Of the state conferred
by the Republican organization, but if he
shall make any utterance at all before the
election it will be against tho whole Cam
eroE boss system and if he publicly de
clares for any gubernatorial candidate, it
Will be for Stewart and not for Beaver
He has exhausted himself to effect the
withdrawal Of Beaver and Stewart, but as
shat is now impossible, he does not con
ceal his conviction that Beaver can't be
elected and that, in the present aspect
Beaver ought not to ba elected.
