DEATH WITHOUT WARMING.

The Engines Boiler Explodes with Fear
full Results-Four Men Literally Blown
to Atoms-Not q Shred of One Body to
Be Found.
WHITE HAVEN, Pa, July 26.-Early
yesterday morning locomotive No. SAG, on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, pushed a
freight train from Mauch Chunk to Fair.
view. When the start to return was made
there were three men in the cab-Jacob
Hassle, the engineer; his son, John Hassle,
who acted as a brakeman, and John Arm
bruster, the fireman. They all reside
at East Mauch Chunk. AS the en-
CINE moved slowly away Robert Smith,
night operator at Nescopeck, stepped on
the cab to ride to his home, not far away.
The men were all in a good humor and
chatted merrily. The motion Of the engine
grew quicker and more steam was turned
on. AT $3.50 o'clock the locomotive had
reached a point about two miles above this
place when the air was rent with a tremen-
dous report. The :Eengine became hid in a
cloud of steam, the earth trembled with the
conclusion. The boiler had exploded and
wrecked the locomotive. AS soon as help
reached the spot it was evident that all
four of the men had been killed. Jacob
Hassle, the engineer, was found one hun
dred yards from the spot, surrounded with
pieces of tire-boX and boiler. Armbruster,
a fireman, lay just two hundred yards away
in the opposite direction, blackened, COW
cred with debris, and entirely brainless, the
whole top Of his head having been
taken off. A human leg was seen
projecting from the pile Of ruins which
Indicted where the engine had been
quivering convulsively. Robert Smith, the
operator, was pinned down to the track by
the tender truck. Strenuous efforts at res
cue were made at once, when the sound of
an approaching train was heard. A coal
train rushed into view, dashed down the
track, and before a warming voice could be
raised plunged into the wreck in which
Smith still lay. Thirty-five cars were more
or less demolished, the engine derailed and
broken, and the wreck made still
more hopeless. When Smiths body
was finally reached it was headless. Wheth-
er the original explosion or the shock of the
collision had decapitated him NO one can
know. The body Of John Hassle, the brake
man, has not been found. Farm hands at
work a mile away say fragments of metal
fell about them in the fields. No reason has
been assigned for the explosion. Experts
say that the boiler had plenty of water liz it,
and that it was comparatively neW.

one-half of the postal revenue, show that

THE

The Cholera Spreading from Town to
Town i'll France. Apparently Beyond
Control-Panic-Stricken Residents Of
Toulon Refuse to Allow Collins to Be
Brought to the city.
MARsElLLEs, July 23.-The consterna-
ton that has prevailed here on account Of
the cholera is similar in many respects to
that which was common TO the times of tho
revolution. There has been no fury, but
the people seem to be insane with fright
and the condition which they present is
pitiable in the extreme. The roads leading
nom the city have been occupied all
day long with a continuous procession OF
refugees who are fleeing to the suburban
towns, and who have brought to use every
conceivable medium of transportation. A
great many have gone to Italy and Corsica,
while to other places the emigration is eSti-
mated at 100, 900. That number is, how
ever, believed to be much less than the
actual number Of departures, for the steam.
ship companies have in every instance under
the direction OF the Government marked
down the number of their passengers or
have wholly destroyed the list.
The effect of the quarantine of other
countries against vessels from this port has
had the effect Of checking flight by sea.
Tie steamship companies have been noti-
fled that none OF their vessels will be adj
mitted to the ports Of Italy, Corsica, Alex
andria and Tunis. AS these were the resorts
that remained accessible to the last, the
city is shrouded in gloom by the announce
ment Of the quarantine, and all
hope seems to have been abandoned,
The efforts of the foreign countries to pro-
tect themselves has created great confusion
among the mariners of the Mediterranean
and navigation is carried on without a SEM
blance of system. Yesterday there were
two hundred Italians landed here who
should have gone to Naples, and vessels
which had set out for the ports of Alex
andria, Corsica, Italy and Tunis were
forced to return. AS the fugitives were re-
turned to their Inflated homes their con-
dition was most abject.
The work of purifying the streets BY lire
is daily being abandoned. the authorities
not supplying the necessary fuel. Twenty
tiremen were stricken suddenly i'll to-day
by over work in carrying patients to the
hospitals. The hospital management re-
fuse admission to visitors without special
permits.
In Toulon the mortality is increasing in
spite OF the ceasing Of the mistral. There,
as in this city, the exodus is increasing.
The supply of bread is short in consequence
OF the closing Of the shops. The soldiers
have been obliged to serve as bakers. An
indescribable panic prevails.
At Aries half of the municipal counsclors
have fled.
