OF having eloped with negro farm hand
employed by her brother, very few people
would believe it. Tuesday the astonish,

is Jesse Platter, is musc!liar man, Of fine

a point on tho Connotton Valley Rail
road, two miles east Of Canton, Ohio, was
last Saturday night the scene of terrible
wreck. The employees Of Aultman < Co.'S
machine works held their annual pic lie
at Cuyahoga Falls, and over two thousand
persons went OH the excursion. There
W ere two trains Of fifteen cars each. The

at the station waiting for friends and rel

CRYING that the train had been wrecked
and many Of tho eycursioniSts killed ana
injured, The scene Which followed Was
of the widest description, and when the
wreck was reached, men, women and chill
dren ran around, wripsing their hands
and looking for tiicif loved ones. Nine
cars were of the track and in water four
feet deep. The cries of the in jul cd were
heartrcnding. Hundreds OF willing hands
Immediately set to work, and 1t was fGnnd
that not more than twenty-five persons
were injured
The engineer says the wrccl; was caused
by the track spreading. The engine went
over all right, but the first car jumped the
track and eight others followed. Thus
they were dragged q distance of two hun

feet of water The doors of the cars were
then cut open and tho people got out.
Three doctors were soon OH the ground

The Arctic Explorers Rescued.

Commander w. S. Schley, Of the Greedy
relief expedition, has returned from the
Arctic seas, having reached st. Johns,
Newfoundland, last Thursday. The cx-
petition was successful in Tescuing the
survivors of Lieut.. Greely's party. The
only survivors we're Lieut.. Greedy and six
other men, i4ineteen having persisted; of
these, seventeen starved TO death, one MAS
of hands and feet after Lsving been res
cued. Lieut.. Greely's expedition started
in June, 1851, and endured almost inored-
iblc harGshipS. During the las. six months
fooI Was very scarce, and finally gave cut
altogether. The men died one by one.
and il the relief had been forty eight hours
later every m&n would have been dead.
Maurice Connc,l, one of the survivors,
stated j. al interview that for some days
after his rescue JIG had no recollection Gf
anything that transpirc1. lie did not hear
the aYakcning scream OF the whistle.
When his comrades shook him up from
his PROSTATE position in the camp and told
him OF suco0T III hand, he wildly eMclaiui-
ed: "For Gods sake, let me die in peace"
y tcaspoonful OF brandy applied to his
lips called b4ck the llcetiug life-spark, for
Cornell could not have survived more
than Il few hours, The story told by Con-
nell from his recollection OF their starving
cxpcrieacc is simply bearsyendins; how
they burned the hair oil their sealskin boots
ahd coats, cut them into stri ps, boiled
them into stew and ate yoracionsly or
them till the stomach rebelled and nailsea

difficulty of keeping beat in the body was
very great. The rule Of tho camp was to
permit no ono to sleep longer than tsyn
hours. He was awakened roughly and
called upon 10 shake himself, beat his
hands and pound his feet and restore cir
