OF a small excursion steamer, the Stranger,
which has been plying on the creek since
June LIST. The boat Is queerly-con.
structed craft, about 20 feet long and
IL feet wide, and was made by It's owner,

pose OF taking excursionists up and down

engine and boiler OF one-and-a-half-borse
power was placed in the stern, and pro-
PEELED paddle-wbeel between the two flat
boats on which the platform was built.
The pilot sat in the bow, and guided

sixteen passengers, among them several
ladies', In charge OF the owner. II went

SIX PEOPLE KILLED AND \ NUMBER WOUNDED
IN RAILROAD COLLISION.
A Bradford (Pa.) special Of Sunday says:
Six Deople were killed and eleven severely
iniured in a railroad accident this morn
inc The collision occurred ut O'Clock
or the Rochester and Pittsburgh railroad,
near Possela@ station. The first news OF
the accident. giving meagre and confused
accounts, reached this city ut about 40
O'Clock. \ special train was at once sent
from here, with Drs. Kinsler, sweet, ana
PAGE. In look after the wounded and dying.
After n speedy run the scene OF death ana
destruction was reached. 1t was about
three-ouarters OF a mile east Of RasSelaS, or
about eight miles from the kinzua big
bridge. The sight was enough to appal
the stoutcst heart. The dead and wounded
were living on all sides, and many were
buried under the Debris. Strong hands
went to work on the wreck, and the dead
bodies and the injured passengers were
placed on the relief train and brought here.
The accident was caused by collision OF
two sections of q coal-train. The first sec
ton carried Il passenger car on the rear OF
the coal ears. ana in il were fifteen pasSen-
gers. On leaving ,IohnsOnburg the sections
were about 800 Yards apart, and had the
right OF way. The second train was to
Keep out Of the way Of the first. About
three quarters Of a mile from Rasselas the
first train stopped to take water. IL was
on an upgrade, and the train was heavy
one. 4 number OF the coal cars, carrying
with them the passenger car, broke loose.
The grade at this point is quite steep. The
released cars Shutdown at frightful speed.
All the passengers were asleep, ana
did not know Of the danger. The passen-
ger-coach struck the engine OF train No. 2.
The shock was terrific one. The engine
was wrecked. the passenger-car torn almost
into splinters. and the coal-cars piled upon
each other in an Undesirable mass. Ii
was a miracle that fife was saved. Steam
from the wrecked engine poured over the
wounded and added to their sullerinSS.
Mrs. McCWdy was the only one who was
able 10 tell OF this terrible disaster.
On the arrival Of the tram here with the
dead and wounded thousands OF people
flocked 10 the depot. Carriages were PEE
yided. The dead were taken to an unGer-
takers and the wounded TO hotels and to
the houses OF friends. A jury was summon
ed this afternoon, and, alter viewing the
dead, took a special train TO the scene OF
the wreck ~ inquest will be held to-
morrow.
Mrs. McCurdy has made a statement, In
which she says that the conductor aud both
brakemen, who were in the ear with her,
were alseep.
