Railroad Officials Oh = Pleasure TIP Return
Home With Broken Bones.
A serious collision occurred yesterday
afternoon, about 1 o'clock, at Bells Tun-
mel, between Mount Carmel and Centralia,
on tie LcLigh Valley railroad. A special
engine and car with number OF officials,
representing tho Pennsylvania railroad,
the Northern Central, the New York Cen
trail and other railroads, including the
members Of tho coal firm of j. Langdon 4
Co., Of Elmira, N. Y, extensive coal op
orators in this state, and friends. were OH
the way to Glen Onoko, i summer resort
near Mauch Chunk, where the men ex
| pected to spend tho day. After hurried
inspection of the collieries at Shamokin
they proceeded on their journey aud
| reached their destination safely. About
$3.50 they left Glen OnokO to return to
Sunbury. Every precaution was taken by
the railroad officials for 4 clear run, the
special making good time. A short dis
tancc west of Mount Carmel ballast
train was working on the Lehigh Valley
railroad, and when the Mount Carmel
| agent was aware Of the specials arriva
he hoisted before his Office \ danger sigma
to prevent the passage of al
trains until the special had arrived

completed its work and started of
rapidly, passing Monnt Carmel without
nOticin. the signal. The official there
thought that she would enter q siding
but with increased speed she went onward
and ut the tunnel above mentioned me'
and collided with the special. Strange to
say, 10 ono was killed outright. Charlie:
Young. dispatcher for the Pennsylvania
railroad ut Sunbury, was pretty seriously
Injured internally. The engineer of thu
excursion train was scalded and slightly
injured. The fireman was unhurt. Th'
engineer and fireman Of the ballast trail
were scalded slightly anu bruised. Mr.
Burrows, superintendent Of the New
York Central railroad, had a shOulde
dislocatcd. Mr.. Mead, superintendent o.
tho Canan1aigua division Of the Northern
Central railroad. was cut and bruised. j
D. F. Slee. of Elmira, N. V, had lei
hurt. r. Nelson, general superintendent
of tho Northern Central railroad, Will
Transport, was uninjured. About ten il
all were moro OF less hurt. They consid
cred their escape miraculous. Both en-
gincs were completely wrecked. Assist
ance was soon at hand and the whole part
taken to Shamokin, where the Injuries
were cared for. The cause of the accidcn
appears to be that the ballast train eli
gineer failed to sec the signal at Noun
Carmel. Tho track was soon cleared an
traffic was again resumed.

Running seventy-Fivo Miles an Hour With a
l:rOken Brake-lseam.
Intelligence has just been received of q
mishap that threatened the lives of Presi
dent William II. Vanderbilt, Vice Presi
dent Tillinghast, General Superintendent
TOucey, General Priest and other mag
mates Of the Central Hudson road, who
left Albany on Saturday on special
train en- route to Denver, Colorado. All
switches were locked, crossings tagged,
the entire train had been most care
fully examined and no preparation
conducive to lightning speed had been
overlooked. Ten miles east of Rome
the train was flying along at the rate OF
seventy five miles IN hour. At this point
the passengers heard an unusual clatter
and felt an unusual sensatiOn--a series OF
bumps under the train, mighty uncertain
and decidedly unpleasant. The train
jumped through Oneida at undimiDished
speed. Every switch trembled and the
train was joltcd frightfully. Tho bump.
ings underneath the cars continued with
alarming suggestiveness. Suddenly the
bell-cord was pulled. The air-brakes we're
applied. In quarter of minute the
train was standing still. An examination
was made. When the tender was reached
the heavy brake-beams were resting on
tho ground and depending on nothing but
the slender safety chains. Had the chain
broken--well, the imagination can supply
tho rest.

The latter case is one that is famil-

a part of the celebrated case between
Brown, of Boston, in behalf of his
wife, the heir of Mr.. White, and Geo.
N. Fletcher. The former administra-

Court and new administrator APP
pointed. The case being appealed
the court upheld the removal but re-
fused to uphold the new administra-

at present has no administrator.
Some years ago VIM. White, it is
claimed, furnished the funds which
enabled Mr.. Fletcher to do business

There were some very pretty aerial
displays in the heavens on the even.
ings of the 9th and 10th, occasioned
by the many shooting stars. Some Of
the falling stars presented beautiful
appearance. One areolite shot across
the sky from north to south, showing
a brilliant light. Another that came
in q downward direction exploded
when near the ground. The clouds
on the night of the 18th, hid the fall
ling visitors from view. "The mete-
ors," says the New York Sun, "belong
to a very old stream so that they have
become pretty evenly distributed
along their orbit, and do not appear
in great periodical showers like the
November meteors. One of their dis.
tinctive characteristics is the leaving
of trails of light in their wake, and
occasionally brilliant fire ball ap
pears among them. Their radiant
point is in Perseus and early in the
evening they appear to shoot upward
at various angles from the northeast
ern horizon. After midnight, when
Perseus has risen high in the heavens
is the best time to watch for them, as
they can then be seen darling in every
direction from the radiant point"

The steam barge Lowell was bring
ing some barges to this port last week.
When near Altoona, she left the tow
in order to take one Of them, the
Georgia Kelley, to Altoona. In the
meantime the other bargcs, N. p.
Goodell and Clematis, continued their
course to this port, using their sails
and being still connected with a tow
line. After sailing for some time, the
captain of the barge N. p. Good
ell noticed small clinker boat
adrift and cndeavored to capture it.
For this purpose, when the barge was
alongside the boat, a sailor was low
cred into it for the purpose of making
line fast, so that the boat could be
hauled on board. The sailor made
the line fast, but, instead of coming
aboard, according TO orders, he re-
manned on the small boat. The wind
being fresh, the boat was towed rap
idly and soon capsized, the sailor be-
ing thrown into the water. On COM
ing to the surface, the sailor managed
to get hold of the tow line between
the Goodell and Clematis, and the
captain Of the latter boat got a line
and was about to throw it to the sail.
or when the latter lost his hold of the
line, and was run over by the Gle.
