WASHINGTON, D. c., September 90.
J. II. Dal.xn:
EMi DEAR sln-I have your two letters
inviting and urging ME to attend the
National Soldiers Reunion on the second
and third Of October. aln grateful for the
honor and should need no urging if my
health were more firm than it is. only
keep on my legs just now by quiet and
regular living at home. l have been a
field hand for more than forty years and
there is work in me yet, though for the
present deem it prudent to keep about
home. It is not impossible that when the
time comes may push of and come, but
I do not feel it safe to promise positively.
Yours truly, 81

LANCASTER, KY, September o5.-The
first railroad disaster Of any importance on
this branch OF the Louisville & Nashville
railroad happened yesterday morning
about half past three o'clock. As the 6rst
OF The three special trains conveying the
Sells Bros circus from Richmond was
coming around curve near Point Lick
Depot, in this county, the fourth cur from
the engine, from some unknown cause,
jumped the track and rolled down a fifteen
foot embankment. The whole Of the re-
naming cars Of that train followed, con-
sisting OF eighteen cars. The cars were
loaded principally with the baggage Of the
company, the tableau wagon, electric ma
chine and n cage containing Bengal
tiger. Anumber Of the attaches Of the cir
Gus we're scattered along on the trim asleep
under wagons on the cars. I2szi ~
The destruction OF both life and pro perty
was fearful. Threc.men were Instantly Killed
and one has died since. Three are fatally
injured and eight or ten othersa are wounded
in various ways. The cage containing the
tiger was complete wreck. The tiger was
not injured, but escaped and wandered
about in the corn fields for several hours,
mnch to the discontinue OF the citizens,
He was finally caught and confined in
cage, which was repaired with ropes and
planks. The electric light machine and
tableau wagons were completely destroyed.
The track was torn up for over one hun.
d1ed yards, and the cars pulled into con-
fused mass upon each other, some ot the
cars catching the unfortunate men under
them, and crushing them until lie was al
most extinct. s-.s5r., 4 ~ 9l Fa

man and kinwird returned on the engine,
arriving on tue scene about 6 o'clock. A
wrecking train from Louisville, with DR..
George W. Griffith on board, arrived about
u o'clock and took charge'of matters, and
had all the wounded well cared Tor. A
force Of men was Immediately set to work,
and at o'clock this evening the track was
cleared, but Mr.-Sells declines to 20 On to
London to fill his engagement there to-
morrow. The circus will camp at Silver
Creek tonight, and 50 to Lebanon to.mor-
row to fill their engagement for Tuesday.
The exact cause OF the accident ia not
known, there being several reports, such as
the coupling Of one OF the cars broke, and
one That the ties on the road we're rotten,
and that the heavily loaded cars pressing
on the rails cut them in two. An official
investigation will be necessary to arrive ut
the truth. ~ l,lsltsE&Js { s N !, .s-.p-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 25.-The
franklin Sugar Refinery, Harrison, Have
meyer & Co., an immense brick structure
on Front and Almond streers, was partly
destroyed by fire this morning. Although
three alarms were sent out, it was not got
under control until the block bounded by
Delaware avenue, Swanson, Almond and
Bainbridge streets was burned. The block
contained two very large buildings,
that facing on Delaware avenue
being the mould house, nine stories high,
and that in the rear Of the mould house,
and extending TO Swanson street, being u
new building called the filter house. These
dwellings were filed with sugar in process
Of manufacture and ready for delivery, and
both Of the structures and their contests
are in ruins. The loss will probably reacl,
half million dollars. The centrifugal
house and the boiler house in the block
from Swanson to Penn streets and Almond
to Bainbridge streets, were saved. .,
One thousand men are out Of employ
ment. It is not known that any one was
killed. Louis Luerson, a Swede, and one
OF the foremen is, however, missing. He
was last seen attempting to extinguish the
flames, as his fellow workmen made their
escape from the building. For long time
the refinery has been running day and
night. -'@Hg. 5'5- q, '2s' =
Harrison, Havemeyer & Co. decline to

amount OF insurance carried on the burned
buildings was S4S0O0O, distributed among
nearly all the large companies in this coun-

loss by fire is from hall a million to mil
lion dollars. Rebuilding will begin at once.
