of The terrible casualty. the worst that
has perhaps ever happened on the a., T.
Sc S. F. road was misplaced switch
How it BECAME misplaced is involved in
dispute and mystery. At 5:45 three
quarters of an hour before the collision,
q stock extra, going east passed Salem
safely. The passenger train going east
pulled, not backed, into the side track
and Ed. CaInpbull, brakeman
who has run ON the train for q year or
more and whose duty it has been to open
thr witch 10 let the train out after the
cannon ball goes by, got off the tram for
this purpose. Here there are two con.
iictIDg stories. One says that Camp
bell had dropped asleep by the switch
and hearing the train come jumped up
with the exclamation: my Godi Here's
the train and the switch not thrown"
and Immediately grabbed the lever,
throwing the rails so as to run the can
non Lall ontn the side track and into the
standing train. Campbell was held at
NickersOn and we are told positively
declares that he had not touched the
switch, and did not go up To it. That il
was not his business to handle il Till the
cannon ball went past
There is. too. superstition that the
switch was all right, and that the train
coming with such great speed, jumped
the track.
There is also conflicting report thai
the brakeman ran away and cannot be
found
i A relief train came out will
aid from Nickerson and carried
the dead and wounded back to thai
point, the former to be prepared for the
coffin, the latter to be ministered tC
with all the tenderness and skill at Tho
command of the company and the PEG
pie.
Immediately after the accident many
of the passengers ran from the train fol
many yards, frightened at what seemed
be an explosion that would add TO the
horrors. The Kissing Of the

There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can DO removed and

but It relieves pain almost instantaneously.

In the heyday Of the forensic
career of David Paul Brown, OF
Philadelphia. that gentleman, con-
fessedly the most accom- plished
criminal lawyer, with the excep-
tion of James T. Brady, who ever
lived in the United States, would
defend malefactor, accused of
murder, for fee of one hundred
dollars. He would have assisted
any prosecution for the same sum.
On the other hand, the Messrs.
Porter and Davidge, whose imbecile
management of the case for the
People of the United States
against Guiteau, as the assist.

understood to aim at gougiDg
