Excursion Train Wrecked.
PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-By q collision
with an excursion train on the Camden
road this morning Engineers Palmer and
Baxter, Conductor Smith, Baggageman
Vaughan, Mail Agent Wylie and Fireman
Barby were killed. Many persons were
injured. The excursion party was of the
Camden Presbyterian Church. Frank
Fenton. Supervisor of the road, and G..
Edwards were also killed on the Atlantic
road by the accident. The crash was
caused by the non-receipt of q telegrsphic
dispatch. Both engines were smashed and
nine persons were seriously injured. One
of the passengers says that after the col
lison they all scrambled out Of the cars,
some by the windows. The escaping steam
made it impossible for any n to
approach within so feet of the wreck.
Great excitement existed among the
passengers in the two trains, especially
among the women and children.
When the news reached Camden q
special train was made up and a dozen
physicians departed for Ashland. A
wrecking train was also sent to Ashland.
The point where the collision occurred is
considered the worst on the line, and is
about two miles from H~addenfield, and
one mile from Ashland, with q heavy
down grade and curve in both directions.
In the middle curve is a wooden bridge
over Coopers' Greek. There is only a
single track in the curve. With might, Mail
Agent Wylie called out from under the
debris: Here I am" When taken out
he was found to be s%hockingly lacerated.
and death occurred in q very short time.
Among the more seriously injured passen-
gers were John and Willie Caskey. The
former was aged IL years. His face was
badly cut. but the younger brother,
Willie, died. The supervisor Of the road,
Frank Fenton, was rescued after about two
hours Of lAborious work. He was terribly
mangled and did not survive long. At
the moment of the collision Conductor
Smith was counting his tickets in front Of
the car At that instant, also, Supervisor
Dale, who was in the third car. jumped to
the platform and assisted a number of
children and elderly folks to escape
through the windows. The work Of clear
ing the road has not yet been accom-
plished.
The accommodation train was running
23 miles an hour when it entered the curve,
and after the two trains came together
there was the utmost confusion among the
passengers. The first mar taken out was
John Rosenbaum. express agent of the &C
commodation train. He was terribly cut
on the head. face and hands. He was
found with q lot of debris covering him,
but was extracted with difficulty. The
body of fireman Nicholas Barber was the
next discovered under the wreck Of the
tender. terribly maDgled. Fireman Louis
McLain was unconscious, was terribly
scalded on the head, and was swollen to
twice his normal condition. Brakeman
John Lager was hurled from the baggage
car into q pool Of water and mud.

KANSAS CITY. June IA Times Olathe,
KS, special says: Gov. st. John. in an
interview, disclaims the published state
ment that he declared the nomination of
Blaine and Logan a disgrace to honest
men, and recommending the temperance
people to oppose the ticket. He says:
However, I do say that the action Of the
Chicago Convention, in ignoring the tenn
perance question, il an insult to the Pro-

which ought to be condemned by every
Christian man and woman in the country.
and as far as I'm personally concerned
shall never be Endorsed by my ballot"
