SAn Excursion Train COlIideS With an Emp
ty Car Near Carlton, n. Y.-Twenty-five
Persons Killed and Over Thirty Others
Severely Injured.
ROCHESTER, N. Y. July 30.
News was received here early Saturday
morning of a terrible disaster on the Rome,
WatertOwn & OgdenSburg Railroad near
Carlton, Friday night AS the Thousand
Island train, which was running at high
speed on the main line, neared Carlton,
the engineer noticed single car stand
ing on the track ahead of him.
He at once put on the air-brakes and
reversed the lever of his engine, but before
the speed of the train could be slackened
the engine dashed into the obstruction, and
In an instant all was a scene of wreck and
confusion, and the air was filled with the
groanS of the dying and injured. The engi-
neer, who herOically remained at his post,
was fatally injured when the crash came
The fireman, who stood by him till the last,
was instantly killed.
The car which caused the disaster was
blown on the main line by the high wind
which prevailed at the time of the accident
The leading engine was thrown in the ditch
and was not much damaged, but the SECOND
engine was thoroughly broken up.
The party of tourists on board the i'll
fated train was large and merry one, and
just before the accident were laughing and
talking over tie enjoyment they expected
to have in visiting the Thousand Islands
Quebec, Montreal and other Northern points.
The engine struck the freight car with a ter
rlble crash, and in moment cars and passen-
gers were plunged into an indiScriminate
heap, envelOped in darkness, and drenched
with rain. Means and pit6OuS cries for help
came from the wreck. Appeals for assist
ance were sent to Lewiston and OSWegO
and relief train was instantly forwarded
Then began the dreadful work of eXtricat-
Ing from the ruins the mangled bodies of
the dead and wounded. The work wa,
necessarily slow. While carrying off thu
dead the wOrkmen's ears were pierced witt
the agOnizing cries of those in whom lif,
had not been entirely crushed out, and thei.
hearts sickened as they met the supplicat
ing gaze OF those too faint to utter their APP
peals.
IN several cases of the wounded no hope
of recovery is entertained. The bodies of
many killed are crushed beyond recognition,
and the work of Identification is necessarily
slow. The COroner'S Jury did not finish in
veStigating, and adjourned till next week.
A man who had lived but few rods from
the scene of the disaster had driven his son
to LyndOnville, three miles away, to take the
train. The father got home just in time to
find him corpse. The station agent at
Carlton asserts that he set the brakes on the
freight car in the evening. 1t is not GER
tainly known whether the car was blown
along the side track upon which it stood to
the junction with the main tracks, where it
was when the train came and struck it, or
whether it was run to that point by some
malicious persons.

The square pianoforte appears to
be doomed. In Germany and other
European countries it is seldom seen,
and in America its place is being rapidly
taken by the upright, or ''pianinO,
as the Germans more POLITICALLY call it.
One of the leading piano firms in New
York recently announced that it had
eliminated all styles of squares from its
catalogue, and would henceforth manu-
tacture only uprights and grands--~

Weekly Review Of the Louisville Tobacco
Market.

The receipts for the week were go hhds.,
against 1,24O last week, and 400 in the cor
responding week of last year. The scale of
receipts has been relatively very light, and
it begins to be presumption that the per-
centage of the crop delivered in the first
half of the year was considerably larger
than usual. There is of course a fair con-
tingent of Burley still in the hands of
country dealers, but the supply of all types
to come forward from districts south and
west of Louisville is undoubtedly small.
Light incoming supplies of Burley have
paired very well, with comparatively
slow demand, and prices have consequently
ruled about even, with no general advan-
tage either to buyers or sellers. Trade
has been uneventful and featureless. Dark
and heavy styles have been active and
for the most part in sellers favor. There
have been larger offerings of GAINESVILLE
leaf and Jugs, which have sold gradually
fuller to the close of the week. This was
partly due no doubt to the accident of the
offerings latterly being more desirable
The feature in this branch of the trade was
the sale of the Hunt crop of Logan County
at the Ninth-street warehouse, the offerings
constituting the best display of the week, if
not of the year. The leaf lacked length
but some packages were fat and leathery
wrappers of high grade. Lugs and leaf
sold at relatively full prices. Nondescript
tobaccos have been firm. We quote new
crop tobaccos as follows:

The lack Of or couragement which
Omaha has given to manufacturing
enterprises has lost to our city thou
sands Of dollars In trade and large
numbers of citizens. Every 9 man.

commercial Importance. More than
that, it builds up the retail trade and
stimulates prosperity among the
smaller merchants. No inland city
can increase rapidly beyond a certain
point uuless 1t sustains home industry.
It Is the working men who toll In our
mills and factories and spend their
wages with the butcher and grocer and
baker who form the backbone Of all
commercial solidity in the large cities
