ACCIDENT.

Fifteen Men Killed and Many Badl
Wounded by a Collision of Trains Near
Connellsville, Pa.
PITTSBURGH, May ia west-bound
freight collided with the gravel train on the
Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad, one mile east
of Connellsville. between nine and ten a. m.,
on a sharp curve just west of the Speer Sand
Works. The freight train was heavily la
den with ore. The gravel train consisted
of six cars. 1t contained about fifty men
from the Pittsburgh Southern Road, and
they were Oh their way to Ohio
Pyle Falls to work on the grading
for a double track on the east end
of this division. Both trains were
going at a high rate Of speed and came to-
gether with a terrible crash. The engines
remained on the track and telescoped each
other into the smoke-stacks, but the heavy
tenders jumped into the air and fell, the
freight tender upon its engine and the
gravel-train tender back upon the first
car in the rear of it. Here was the
scene of death. Six men were killed out
right in this car and four others fastened
down by the broken timbers were roasted
to death, the car catching fire from the over
turned stove and burning up before the
stupeied survivors could comprehend
the awful situation of their shrieking
companions. Three men escaped
from the car and one of ,tliem

the glowing embers, twisted iron rods and
dead ashes, three grinning skeletons, one
sitting bolt upright apparently peering into
the flames that had smothered out his life as
well as those of his companions.
At eleven O'Clock a number of shop
hands began putting out the fire. At one
window of the first car, sitting by the iron
frame, the men found a blackened skeleton,
while from the ashes were taken fragments
OF bodies partially burned. They were
taken out to the bank Of the river and piled
up beside a pair of legs which had been am

The Rev. DR.. J. Parker. of Lon
don, declares himself out of SYM
patty about the so-called outcsst
poor of London. He say that many
of the families which are pitied for
having to live in one filthy, unven-
tilated room, neither ask or deserve
pity. In fact. they prefer to live
in that way, and would do so if
they had all Heaven at their dis
posal. "Dirt," he says, ''has its
warm friends, even amongst peo-
pie who are not numbered amongst
the outcast poor. I say this to
guard benevolent persons against
the notion that dirt and poverty
are synonymous terms l am given
to understand that even some Chris
tians have o wonderful likeness for
anything slovenly vnd slip shod. q
least I have heard women scream
ing to ether people to hold the
fort and ring the bells Of Heaven,

A 8ickening Sight.

A SickeninG Sight.
The following well-timed remarks
are from the Reno Gazette:
It is sickening in the extreme to
hear 80 much said about the ap-
pointment Of this or that man to
some measly clerkship in the mint
or some other Government or State
position bringing harmony to the
party" livery frequently happens
much too often for the good Of
the country-that some ward poll.
tician. who, perhaps. has had in
fiasnee enough to dump in few
votes for . friend on election day,
or immortalized himself at the pri-
maries, is appointed to position
that he is utterly unfit to I'll, Tor
the sake of harmony"
During the last campaign, men
seeking places Of the highest re-
sponsibility lent themselves TO the
most disgraeful jobbery that ever
stained the good name Of people.
and it il high time that this method
of selecting public servants should
cease. It only proves that such
men are for sale, and the higher
the Office they fill, the better is the
opportunity for them to real
ize."
Can men who will prostitute
their self-respect and stoop to such
low, contemplate jobbery as was
practiced in the last campaign in
the Asylum matter, be trusted to
fill high Office after an exhibition SO
disgraceful? Do the people believe
that Governor Adams would be a
suitable person to represent the
people of this State in the United
States Senate when he will lend
himself to such pettyfoggying
methods to get Office, or that Lieu
tenant-Governor Laughton would
fill the executive chair to the salts
faction of the taxpayers should the
big Governor, by an uufortunate
circumstance, be promoted? Let
the people look to it and see that
such men are taught lesson.
