CANTON, OHIO, July lp.--A broken frog
caused disastrous and fatal wreck on the
valley Railroad at Lake Park Station, two
ml'eS north OF here, about eight O'Clock this
evening. The employees of the Aultman
agricultural Works, with their families,
numbering two thousand souls, held their
annual picnic at Cuyahoga Falls to-day.
lhey occupied two trains in sections Of
sixteen coaches each. The first section
returning home reached here shortly before
eight O'Clock, and few minutes later the
wreck Of the second section was reported,
inc news spread like wild.hre, and in a FEW
minutes every available vehicle and an
army OF foot passengers were on the
road to tho scene OF the accident
Meanwhile the most intense excitement
prevailed. The train was loaded down
with about one thousand residents Of Can.

like so many frogs. The frog which caused
the accident is supposed 70 have been
broken by the first section, which passed
IN safety. The number of wounded il esti.

number about a score are badly hurt. A
complete list Of the wounded is unobtainn.
Die to>night. John Whitaker, engineer
at the Aultman Works, and Albert Fravel,
aged fifteen, were both terribly mutilated,
and are reported dead. Mary Slunasky,
aged thirteen, is badly crushed, and will
probably die. Ella Newman, aged eigh.

ShanafOll and Eva Deweese sustained
severe wounds. All the doc.

and fireman both escaped uniniured. The
supposition is prevalent that when the
work of removing the debris is completed,
many dead and mangled bodies will be
found imbedded in the mud beneath the
upturned cars.

Close Civil Service Decisions:

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Two interesting
questions have been raised in connection
with technicalities OF the civil service
laws. The first was raised by the Score
tary Of the Navy, aud was whether a clerk
appointed on probation under the civil
service requirements, could be subject to
promotion during his probationary period,
aud in that event, whether he still con-
times as probationary appointee until
the term OF trial expires. This
question was decided i'm the affirmative,
and the promotion Of probationary clerk
In the Navy Department authorized, and il
was decided that he would still be on pro-
baton. Another question raised by Secre-
tary Teller is, whether woman is eligible
10 appointment as a pension examiner.
The decision in this case was adverse,
although number of ladies had filed ap~
plications, IL being held that the necessary
travel and the kind Of work required was
unsuitable for women.

Prairie Eirea.

jamestown Capital: For the past two
days the air has been surcharged with
smoke, and the darkness of night made
luminous by the glare of raging prairie
fires within sight Of this city. The spec.
tacle is one full Of danger. It is not ex.
travagant for US to say that in the past
forty eight hours hundreds OF thousands
of acres OF valuable prairie grass, needed
for the subsistence OF stock, have been
burned over IN Stutsman county, and
rendered valueless for present purposes.
In county where large herds OF cattle
are kept, as in the case of Stutsman
county, this is most serious matter. It
is menace to one of our most profitable
lines of business, and threatens every
farmer who owns stock. The time has
come when some means must be taken
to put stop to these vast confagrations
so full of danger to life and property and
so destructive of vegetation The law
declares the setting of a prairie fire q
crime. The officers of the law should
endeavor to trace up the causes of the
recent fires, and if they resulted from
malice or from criminal carlessness. the
offenders should be punished. It is q
matter demanding immediate and serl.
ous consideration.
