Blown from the Rails.

SALEM, O., NJ arch 20-A most ter
rife, and, at the same time, miraculous
railroad accident occurred two miles
east of here at O'Clock this morning
on the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne Il Chi
cago r. r. Engine 30S of the east
bound Chicago and New York limited
express, while rounding sharp curve
and running at high rate of speed,
exploded its boiler with terrific violence,
blowing the engineer and fireman 40O
from the engine and killing them in
stantly.
After the explosion the engine jump
ed the rails and tore up the track for
about 300 feet, and then plunged down
steep embankment with such fearful
velocity as to throw its tender fifty
feet further on, on the opposite side OF
the track The combination car fol-
lowed, and was thrown on the engine
with such violence as to force the
drivers of the engine through the floor
of the car, which was entirely demol-
ished.
The dining car was thrown on its
side and went down the embankment,
totally wrecked One of the sleepers
also went over the embankment, and
landed on it's side at the bottom. The
other two sleepers, which constituted
the rest of the train, did not leave the
track.
For few moments after the eXplos-
ion there was scene Of inextricable
confusion in the interior of the sleepers
The cries of the passengers were heart
rending, and the shrieks of strong men
could be heard crying for help. So
great was the excitement for the first
few moments after the accident that no
attempt was made to ascertain the ex-
tent of the damage. At last porter
broke one Of the windows and the
frightened passengers succeeded in
making their escape from their impris-
onment. 1t was soon found that none
of them were seriously wounded, the
ill.fated engineer and fireman being the
only persons killed
That the loss of life in such wreck
was not frightful seems incredible, as
there were a number of ladies on the
train, several with young children, all
escaping uninjured. One of the color
ed pOrters was found unconscious in
the smoking car, and was thought to
be dead, but when brought into the
fresh air be revived.
The Spring term of the Wither-
spoon Institute began March II, in the
Germania Cornet Band Hail.: with
large attendance. The first of April
will be an excellent time to enroll your
name, for the school will be fully or
ganized and conducted in the Institute
building, which is spacious, elegant and
commodious. Tuition will be charged
only for the balance of the term.
Very satisfactory arrangements have
been made with the railroad authorities
for students who desire to board at
home. Monthly "46 trip" tickets can
be procured at about one-fourth of the
regular fare. A Normal class has
been organized for the benefit of teachers
or such as have the teaching profession
in view.

What a Young Man May Do.
Detroit Free Press.

A young man of 1S years, who has
just finished his apprenticeship at a
good trade, and who, by the way, is in
telligent, sober and industrious, said in
my hearing recently: 81 can earn SIG
week now, and it seems to me ought
to save something out of that; but l
don't believe l will" Certainly he
ought to save something. He has
taken one very important step towards
making himself valuable citizen by
learning trade; now if he will COM
mence Systematically to save money he
will not only be valuable factor in the
state but secure himself against want
and make his old age comfortable.
Let us see what this young man, who
is but the representative of hundreds of
young men in Detroit, might do. His
weekly salary is now SIG. If he has
the good sense to remain with his pres
ent employers for some years he will
probably make himself SO valuable to
them that before he is ready to assume
the additional expense, if it is an addi-
tional expense, of maintaining fam
lily, his wages will have been advanced
correspondingly. Now, assuming it to
be the duty of every person to save
save something from their wages, the
question is, How much ought he to
save? A young man, if he can afford
it, should live well, dress well, and
crafty himself in reasonable tastes and
pleasures. All this can be done on
salary of S16 a week and still leave
balance for a permanent investment.
Now it would seem that S12 a week |
would be sufficient for all his expenses,
leaving "a for his regular weekly saw
ing. But were his wages but S12 a |
week he might still, by little economy, |
TO save at least 81 each week |
If the young man takes proper care of
himself, he will be able to Keep in the
grand army of workers until he is 80
years old, when, if he feels disposed,
ne may retire from active life on saw
NC, the interest of which ought to sup
port him the remainder of his life.
What will be the amount of this saw
ng? Let us see! We will compute it
or fifty weeks only for each year and
'eckon the interest, payable annually,
1t seven per cent:
