CAUSED BY A BAD BOILER.

The Boiler of Locomotive Attached to
Limited Express Train Explodes-The
Train DeraiIed, and the Engineer and
Fireman Killed-Fifteen Injured.
SALEM, O., March 21.-The Chicago and
New York limited express on the Pittsburgh,
Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad, which
passes here at four O'Clock, met with ter
ribe accident two miles east of here yeSter-
day morning. The train was equipped
with combination smoking and baggage
car, dining car, and two sleepers,
having on board twenty-nine passen-
gers, bound for points east of
Pittsburgh, and was in charge of Conductor
Holloway, with Engineer James Richards
and Fireman Charles Rhodes in the cab.
While rounding a sharp curve and running
at high rate of speed the boiler exploded
with terrific violence, hurting the engine
down fifteen-foot embankment, blowing
the engineer and fireman four hundred feet
from the point where the engine
left the track, and killing them in
stantly. The combination cars followed the
engine and landed upon the boiler with such
violence as to force the drivers of the engine
through the floor, the cars being demolished
completely. The dining-car was thrown
over on its side, slid down the embankment,
and was completely wrecked. The remain
ing two cars were forced from the track and
the trucks of the forward car thrown dis
lance of twenty feet Both cars were badly
damaged.
1t was soon ascertained that no one had
received serious INJURIES although many
were more or less cut and bruised. The
employees on the train were not so fortunate.
Baggage-master Beisel received bad cut
on the leg, and sleeping-car conductor
was badly bruised. One colored porter was
found unconscious in the smoking-car,
lying in pool Of blood, and was at first
thought to be dead, but after being removed
to the open air he revived. His injuries
are not considered fatal. The injured Num-

He Returns, Attempts to Cut His Wife's
Throat, and Commits Suicide.
DAYTON, o., March BE. M. Eberhart,
very wealthy anil widely known young
farmer living near Arcanum, about two
years ago married comedy and talented
young lady, with whom he lived for several
months. Then he disappeared, and was
missing until Tuesday, when he suddenly
turned up and pleaded with his wife
to again receive him. She refused, saying,
she thought he was dead, and that she was
now engaged to another. He then told her
that while absent he had been married in
Hamilton, o., under the name of Easton,
and had been living there ever since with
the other woman. When pleading failed he
threatened his wife with violence, but
she called the hired help and he
left the house. Wednesday night he
returned while the woman was
alone. After again asking her to receive
him and being refused, he threw her vio-
lently to the floor and, whipping out huge
knife, attempted to kill her. The woman
fought desperately but was finally mastered,
when Eberhart drew the knife across her
threat and fled. The lady was found in
short time, and it was then discovered that
the wounds were not fatal, though serious.
An organized posse of men started out
after Eberhart, but failed to find him.
At an early hour yesterday morning the barn
was found to be on fire, and when a
party of men ran to put the flames out they
found Eberhart hanging by halter to one
OF the rafters. The fire was extinguished
having gained but little Roadway, and the
suicide was cut down. On his breast was
pinned letter to his wife or her friend, in
which he said:
have made up my mind to kill myself and
am IN my right mind do not believe my
soul will be lost, but will meet my dear. kind
wife hoilie, the one 1 love, in the land of rest.

The Origin Of MOSQUITOES.

Old, msny moons ago, two huge
ffathered monsters permitted by tine
Manitou TO descend from the sky
and alignt on tn. blnks IF the Seneca
river. Their form was exactly that
of the musq' it,. They were so large
that they darkrned the gun ike q
cloud as they flew toward the earth
Standing one on either bank lhev
guarded the river, an stretching
their long necks into the canoes of
the Indians, a. they ATTEMPTED To
paddle along the stream. gOhbled
them up. as the stork king in the
fable gObhled up the frogs. The
destruction of life was so great that
not an Indian could pass without be-
ing devOured in the aitemt. 1t was
long before the monsters could be
exterminated, and then only bv the
combined efforts of all the warriors of
the Cayuga and Onondaga nations
The battle was terrible. but the
warriors finally triumphed, and the
mammoth mosquitoes were slain and
left unbu led. For this neglect the
Indians had to pay dearly. The
carcasses decomposed. and the par
ticles. vivifed by the sun, flew off in
clouds of MOSQUITOES, which have
flied the country ever since.
