Horrible Railroad Accident.

Thursday night of last week witness
ed one of the most disastrous railroad
accidents that has ever occurred upon
the line of the Pennsylvania railroad
Three Harrisburg men were horribly
mangled and burned to death twelve
cars were completely demolished, and a
caboose and two engines badly wrecked.
The place where the accident occurred
was about a half mile east of Christana
station At what is called North Bend
there is very deep cut through hill,
and short curve in the road, which pre-
vents the engineer of one train from
seeing the train in front of him until he
is almost upon it,
Freight engine 2l3, going west, draw
ing long train, was running slowly
through the deep cut at North Bend
about half mile east of Christiana and
just over the line in Chester county
when freight engine 253 ran into the
rear of the train. The latter engine was
thrown off the track and badly broker
and four empty cars and the caboose o.
the forward train We're broken up. com
| pletely blocking both tracks AT The
time the accident occurred'eXtra freight
engine 80, east, was due at that point
and before flagman could be sent W
the track to stop it, came rushing along
and ran into the wreck. The engine
was badly wrecked and hurled over OF
the bank and eight cars following it
loaded with glass and merchandise, wer,
wrecked and piled up in confusion, TC
add to the horror of the scenes the trains
Immediately took fire from the burning
Goals thrown from the furnaces of tn,
damaged engines, and the flames rageC
liercely all night, lighting up the coun

was scarcely a particle of woodwork lef

were wrecked around them-nothing
indeed, but great mass of red no

thousands of pounds Of nails and fuseC

been freighted with glassware, nails anC
shingles.
Wreckers from Columbia and Parkes

THE NEW OFFICERS.

The new county officers were sworn in
and entered upon the duties of their re-
spective offices on Monday. William
Krickbaum enters upon his second term
as prothonotary, and will retain the
services of Matthew Quick, who has filled
the position of clerk in that Office most
acceptably. Charles Reichart enters upon
his second term as county commissioner,
having filed the position so we'll for the
past three years that the people saw fit
to retain him there. Joshua Fetterman
is the second Republican who has been
elected commissioner on the minority
representation plan. b. Frank Edgar is
a gentleman of excellent reputation as
an honest straightforward citizen, and
no one doubts that he will make a
most efficient and satisfactory officer. II
is the general belief that the present
board will conduct the business of the
county wholly III the interests of the
people. John b. Casey has been reap
pointed clerk TO the commissioners, q
position which he has filed the past three
years
A. Nj. johnson, county treasurer, will
make a popular officer. He has Sc
lected George A. Herring as his deputy.
Mr.. Herring has had considerable ex-
perience in such matters, having been
treasurer Of Schuylkill county in 1872 3
and was Sweppenhisers deputy during
his incumbency.
G. w. Sterner starts in as register and
recorder in manner that gives promise
of successful and.acceptable discharge
of his duties. As stated last week, he
will be assisted by p. II. Freeze, who
has had several years experience in that
office
Taken all together the county offices
are well filled.

The Only Way to Defeat the Cameron Clan

The Democratic party in common with
the Wolfe Indep pendents and the "Conti-
mental Congress are opposed to stalwart-
ism in all its forms. They are animated
by common purpose to wrest the State
government from the hands of the Cam
eron ring. They want Pardon Board
in whose integrity the people of the
Commonwealth can have some conf
dence. They wanta Governor who is
not ringster. They want Legislature
whose members will be governed by the
wishes of their constituents, and will not
be continually for sale to the highe st
bidder. They want to secure the election
of United States Senator at the eXpira-
tion of Mr.. Cameron's term who will re-
fleet some degree of credit upon the
State he represents. They want to clean
out, once for all, the den of thieves on
Capitol Hill at Harrisburg. These are
certainly worthy and noble purposes,
and they undoubtedly animate large
majority of the citizens of Pennsylvania.
With an effective coalition between
these elements, there can be no question
that the objects so earnestly desired by
three-fourths of the people of Pennsyl.
vania can be secured Without such a
coalition the success of the ring is for
gone conclusion. 1t is worse than idle
for the Democratic leaders to hope for
the success of a straight out Democratic
ticket. They have fought it out on that
line until defeat has grown to be a chron-
ic malady. All the paper bullets of the
continental Congress all the manly
independence of the Wolfe "kickers'
and all the pig headed Democracy in the
world will not accomplish the overthrow
of the Harrisburg ring unless they are
brought together by some intelligent
management and made to work in har
mony for common purpose. 1t remains
to be seen whether there is enough
craftsmanship and political strategy in
the ranks of these three clements to
bring about the common result which all
profess to be so anxious to accomplish.

Gigantic Swindlc.

A telegram purporting to be forwarded
from Madrid was printed in the Havana
papers recently announcing that ticket
No. Ga, AS had drawn the capital prize
of 100000 in the national lottery. Sub
sequently the ticket was presented to
the banking house of J. NJ. Borjes IL Co.,
who telegraphed their Madrid correspond
ent and received what appeared to be a
reply confirming the published dispatch
They then negotiated the ticket and the
following day the payee returned them
$21l, 200 against cable transfer to Paris
The swindle was subsequently discovered
and a large part Of the money has been
recovered. 1t is believed that the money
transferred to Paris has not yet been
paid.

it is proposed TO place bas reliefs by the

the New Testament was the true pri.

Whenever the Democrats of New
York make up their minds to throw
Tammany Hall and John Kelly over
board their chances of success will as
sumo the air of possibility. So long as
Kelly and his followers are received as
Democrats and permitted at every cleo
tion to sell out to Republicans, there is
no hope of Democratic victory. AT the
recent election the Democrats carried
the New York Legislature, but from pres
ent appearances their triumph will prove
of no avail, as the Tammany faction has
fomented a serious quarrel as regards
the organization. 1t is thousand times
better to be beaten without Kelly than
with him, and TO this complexion must
the New York Democrats come at last.

CONSUMPTION.
IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL As THE
MEDICAL PROFESSION.

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL As THE
MEDICAL PROFESSION.
Halls Journal Of Health, referring to con-
sumption, makes the following important
statement;
Consumption usually begins with slight
dry cough in the morning, then, on going to
bed getting more and more frequent, with
more and more phlegm, increasing debility,
thinncss of flesh, shortness of breath, and
quickness of pulse. In fatal cases its aver
age Is about two years; hence the import
ance of arresting the disease at as early a
stage as possible, and the sooner rational
means are employed for this purpose the
greater the chance of success. The disease
is owing to an irritation commencing in the
throat and extending to the lungs, so that
their action is interfered with, and the blood
does not receive sufficient oxygen to purify
it, The most marked sign of lung disease is
emaciaton; and the most positive indication
of returning health is increase in weight
So speaks Halls Journal Of Health, and we
may add that in desperate cases; and, in fact,
in all cases of consumption, or troubles OF
the throat and lungs, immediate relief may
be obtained and permanent cure effected
by the use of Dr. VIM. Halls Balsam for the
lungs medicine known for more than thir.
ty-nve years as an unfailing remedy fol
coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary
and pectoral diseases. That the worst cases
of consumption have been cured by the use
of Halls Balsam has been attested to by the
thousands who have used it, or who have
been cognzant of its wonderful medical ef
ficacy. nov. 1l-6w

a thrifty man is Rutherford b. Hayes
and remarkably careful as to expendi-
lures. His uncle Burchard left him a
handsome fortune and he saved very
large proportion of Mr.. Tildens salary,
yet he is too poor to subscribe to the
Garfield Monument fund. When asked
to subscribe to this object few days
since he fatty refused, on the ground of
poverty, and yet he must be worth $500
600 or 100000. Hayes did not shine
in the White House and his lustre is
even DINNER since he has been relegated
to private life. Zack Chandler made the
most correct estimate of the fraudulent
President.
