Thirteen Persons Roasted I'm Oil.
BRADFORD, Pa, Jan. ia stream OF
waste oil is flowing from the tank across
Bradford, Bordell and Kinzuan. 1t
caught fire this morning. The passenger
train from Wellsville for Bradford ran into
it and the train was Immediately enveloped
in flames. The track for q distance OF
| fully 100 yards is covered with oil. 1t is
believed that the gas, coming in contact
with the ire-box of the engine, exploded,
firing the oil which spread or hurricane
wings and enveloped the doomed train in
an instant in a mass of flames. So intense
was the heat that the windows cracked
and fell in in less time than it takes to
write. The passenger coach and baggage
coach and baggage car were conveyed into
a seething, Kissing mass of fire. The coach
was filed with passengers. There was q
rush for the doors but the heat was so
intense that the panic-stricken passengers
were driven back and forced to jump
through the windows, landing in the
snow. A relief train with surgeons and
cots was dispatched to the scene. Upon
the arrival a terrible sight presented
itself. The passenger coach n baggage
car were in smoking ruins. The engine
lay on it's back, having turned a complete
somersault. 1t is definitely known that
only three persons burned
to death. Mrs. L.. G. Fair OF Ken
sington Junction was burned beyond
recognition. Mrs. Fair was a young
woman who had only been married two
years. Her husband escaped by jumping
through the window. Miss Katie Morans
of Aliens, N. Y, a small station near
Aiken, was burned almost to q crisp.
Miss Morans was found hanging on the
outside of the coach. grasping the window
sill. The other dead women have not
been identified. Thirteen other persons
were severely burned. A number of them
will die.
Death to Pension Agents.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Follott, who will
have charge of the Pension bill when it
reaches the House, is strongly in favor of
abolishing entirely the Pension Agency
business. The present cost of eighteen
pension agencies of the United States is
$500, 900 per year. Pension agents receive
yearly a salary of 81, 900 and a fee of Is
cents for every voucher above 1000 issued
from their Offices. Follott thinks a saving
OF $500, 900 per year can be made by
having the work done by the clerks in
Washington, and this without detriment
to the service or subjecting pensioners to
any delay in the payment of their pen
sions. 1t is probable that Follott's views
will be adopted by the subcommittee.
The bill, when reported by the full COM
mittee, will contain a provision ab~olishing
all pension agencies.
IngersOlI on the Presidency.
CHICAGO. Jan. 15.-During a converse.
ton to-day Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll, in
answer to a question as to Presidential
possibilities, spoke as follows: logan
may have a chance. Lincoln and Gresham
are both spoken Of. Lincoln is 8 fine fell
low of fair abilities, and in more senses
than one he would be a strong candidate.
For my part / would just as leave see JUS
tice Harlan of the Supreme Court nomi-
mated as any one. He has shown himself
to be a fearless man Of principle, and one
who recognizes the force Of great truth.
His attitude in the recent civil rights
decision ought to give him q claim, unless
the Republican party is ready to give up
all it founght for"
Senator from Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 15.-The Demo-
cratic caucus, to nominate o candidate to
succeed Williams in the United States
Senate, held 8 meeting last night in
Frankfors and adjourned after the fifth
ballot to meet again this evening. After
much ~squabbling over the organization,
the first ballot resulted: Williams, So;
Blackburn. A; Sweeney. rs. Second bal
lot: Williams, So; Blackburn, 46; Swee-
ney, 23. There was no change on the
third, fourth and fifth ballots, and on mo-
ton the caucus adjourned. Carlisle's
name was not proposed. The indications
are that Williams chances are the best Of
all. Balloting begins in both Houses to-
morrow, but it is not likely that any re-
suit will be reached till the caucus meets
again.
