The latest move In the pension
business at Washington is bill or
something offered by Mr.. Horner,
of Pennsylvania, pensioning all the
Union soldiers who were imprison-
ed in the Andersonville, Belle Isle,
Libby, and all other Confederate
prisons during the war. What is
the use of "nibbling" at this pen
sion question in the way Congress
has been doing. Why not pass a
general law granting big pension
to every man of them from General
Grant down to private Bill Jones
This would settle the matter once
for ALL Uncle Sam has millions
upon millions of shining dollars that
he does not know what to do with.
These Union soldiers had a hard
old time of it during the war. Three
hundred thousand blood thirsty reb-
els were scooting around, shooting
at the poor fellows every day; sick
ness haunted them in camp and on
the march, and their constitutions
were awfully undermined and torn
to pieces by Southern malaria. In
deed, they had a dreadful hard time
and ought to be paid we'll for AN
dergoing it all. Let Congress quit
higgling over the matter, but just
whip through a general bill giving
every one OF them twenty dollars
month as long as they live. Sup
pose it did require a thousand mil
lions year, the people would pay
the taxes promptly, the government
would hand it out to the old soldiers,
and the old soldiers would spend
every dollar of it just as soon
as they received if. This ar
would make times live
"; money would be plenty, and
every fellow who was industrious
and frugal would be prosperous
There wouldn't be any talk then
about Surplus in the treasury"
Let Congress pension all the soldiers
and be done with it.

Frozen to Death in the Snow.

Miss c. J. Welton, a wealthy young
lady from New York City, persisted in a
snow storm last Tuesday while descend
ing Longs Peak, Colorado. Miss Welton
had been spending the season at Colorado
Springs, anG visiting Pixies Peak and
other points of interest. A few weeks
ago she went to Estes Park, stopping at
the hotel there. On Monday evening she
walked over to the house of guide named
Lamb, living at the foot of Longs Peak,
and engaged his son, nineteen years old,
to act as guide in ascending the peak next
morning. At six o'clock on Tuesday
morning they left the house, and safely
assembled the peak, but they encountered
fierce snow storm on their return, during
which the lady became completely chilled.
Young Lamb assisted her in the descent
the best he could until about nine o'clock
at night, when her strength entirely fail
ed. He then carried her for half a mile,
when, finding his own strength failing,
he told her that the only chance of saving
either of their lives was for him to leave
her and go to his fathers house, seven
miles distant, for assistance. He left her
at ten O'Clock, and returned with assist
ance at four o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing, finding the lady frozen to death.
Tie remains were taken to Longmont,
and were sent thence to New York. Miss
Welton was highly refined, a great lover
of nature and very self-reiaut.

Terrible Accident ON the Ii. n D.

The Baltimore and Ohio Cannon-ball
passenger train from New York to Chi
cago crashed into heavy east-bound
freight train at 12.l5 Monday, one mile
this side of Pennington, and fifty miles
east of Wheeling. The passenger train
had five coaches, an official car, and two
postals, and was in charge of Conductor
Henry Long. The freight, heavy train
of forty cars, in charge of Conductor Thos.
Turley, had orders to pass at Warrington.
Turley mistook the station number, and
attempted to make Pennington. The pas
senger train was heard coming, but before
warning could be given, it shot around 4
short curve and plunged into the freight
train while running 10 miles an hour, to
make up lost time. Such was the momen-
tum of the passenger train that it crashed
through the engine and several cars OF
the freight train, making havoc utterly
indescribabe. The passengers, almost by
miracle, escaped with severe bruising
and shaking-up and the loss Of some bag
gage. The trainmen of the freight were
literally cut and scalded to death, while
those of the passenger train, with one e1-
ception, escaped by jumping. Following
is list of the killed and wounded: Thos.
Turley, freight train conductor, of Pied
mont, instantly killed; Thomas O'Don-
noll, fireman, of Martinsburg, instantly
killed, being crushed and soalded. Geo.
Leonard, engineer of the passenger train
had his back broken and head cut. lie
died in few hours. ID. w. Boyd, fireman
of the passenger train, badly scalded and
both arms broken. John Smith, freight
engineer, head and breast cut and burned.
S. {. Sapp, Mount Vernon, Ohio, mail
agent, head badly hurt and injured inter-
nally. Il. j. Adams, GAINESVILLE, arms
broken and internal injuries. Jos. Dumire,
Grafton, riding on the passenger engine,
arm mashed. Several brakemen OH the
freight train were bruised, but not seri-
ously. Both engines, baggage car, and
nine freight cars were demolished, and a
large amount of freight wrecked, making
the loss over 900.

KEARNEYSVILLE LETTER.
KEARNEYsy1LLE. Oct. l, 1881.

KEARNEYsvILLE, Oct. l, 1881.
1t seems that the robbers are trying
their hands in all directions. In addition
to the robbery of Mr.. Seibert's house last
Sunday, We learn of a most atroelous
piece Of roguery from Lectown. On Sun
day night the cornerstone Of the Baptist
Church was taken from under the church
and robbed Of the few coin that were put
in at the time it was laid, leaving the
Bible and the rest Of the contents. These
scOundrels escaped the aye Of man, but
they will receive their just reward at the
hands of Him whose eye sees all things.
Mr.. McIntire had fine mule killed by
the cars on Tuesday.
Politics still continue to absorb the
minds of people, anG Kearneysville seems
to be an important point with the politi-
clans. Mr.. Beltzhoover, of your town,
made very acceptable speech here last
week. Mr.. Rohrbaugh, of Martinsburg,
spun out Republicansm OH Saturday
night, and Hon. Z. Boyd Faulkner and
james ii. Grove, Esq, are booked for
Thursday night.
We regret to learn Of the indi.position
of Rev. Mr.. Ghiselin. Hope he will soon
be himself again. lie is very popular
with his congregation, rs well rs the rest
of mankind, ut this place.
The stohemasons are at work on the
foundation for the Reformed Church at
this place.
"Ncmo," Of Vanclevesville, seems to
think it is "pitty" that some Of our peo-
pie are ''on the fence and out" Don't let
that bother you. Wait until the roses come
again. They we may be able to tell yOn
where Moses was when the light went
out. REPORTER.

Great bridge building.

The magnitude Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroads undertaking in building
q road to Philadelphia i'm double-quick
time cannot be appreciated without clear
understanding of the gigantic work of
bridge building going OH at the Susque-
hanna river. Seven hundred men are en-
ploycd, and they are busy all day long,
throughout the night, and on Sundays too.
Electric lamps change darkness into light,
and at midnight the workmen are as ac-
tive as in broad day. Seen from the shore
in the evening, the men look like COLLINS
working on some spectral pile.
The bridge will be mile and quarter
in length, including the tressel work
over Garrett Island. This island is about
midway the river. Across the channel to
the west of it there will be one span OF
$40 feet i'm length at an elevation of 80
feet above mean high tide and four deck
spans of $50 feet each. Over the east chan
mel there will be 4 through span Of $50
feet, deck span of the same length, and
another deck span OF 500 feet. A clear
conception of what will be the distance
across the bridge may be had by bearing
in mind that it will be G3,0OO feet long,
and that the bridge of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad is
only 81. 900. The approaches and the cross
ing over the island are of iron tressel
work.
The spans constitute the superstructure
of the bridge, and will rest upon eleven
huge piers and two massive abutmcnts Of
granite masonry. The piers are built upon
ca;ssons, sunk by the pneumatic process
to rock bottom. Although the greatest
depth attained ut the Susquehanna in any
one caisson is less than that attained on
the st. Louis and Brooklyn bridges, il the
number of caissons is taken into consider
alton it will be found that these at the
Susquehanna have the greatest accumu-
lated depth Of any bridge in the United
States, if not in the world.
An engineering feat never attempted
before was successfully accomplished at
pier No. s. The caisson had sunk to within
two inches of bed rock at one point, when
IL was discovered that at other points
within the area was twelve feet lower.
The whole structure, which weighed
5000 tons, was held in suspension for two
weeks while the bed rock was being laid
bare at every point and a concrete founda-
ton built up from the rock to the working
chamber III the caisson. The highest
points Of the bed rock were blasted oil in
side the caisson so skillfully that not the
slightest damage was done.
The granite used in building the piers
and abutments is gotten principally from
Garrett Island, Port Deposit and French
town quarres. The island was bought by
the Baltimore and Ohio Company for the
advantages of the crossing and the granite
that could be obtained there, But it may
be laid off into town in the future, anu
made resort for fishermen and gunners.
The work on the various other bridges
is also being prosecuted with great vigor.
\ very large proportion of the grading OF
the road bed has also been finished and
few persons have any idea how far adj
yanccd the building of the road really Is.

JOHN w. GARRETT, President of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, died
ut Deer Park, Nd, ut 5.25 o'clock last
Friday morning. His disease, involving
the kidneys, was characterized BY his
physicians us nervous exhaustion from
lOmg-continued and intense application to
the business of the company, supcrinduced
more immediately by the shock of Mrs.
Garrett's death on the 18th of November,
1888, and the suspense and anxiety to
which he was subjected during the three
weeks Of her illness. Since then his
health has been fluctuating, though he
gradually grew worse and worse. He
was born in Baltimore on the 3lSt of July,
1920, and has been prominently associated
with the Baltimore and Ohio since 1857.
Mr.. CARROTS name will always be iden-
titled in the public mind with the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, and justly so,
since his genius, energy and business tact
lave been the handspring of the company
for more than quarter of 4 century; but
many other important enterprises affect
ing Baltimore's business growth and pros
perity have found in him Il prompt and
generous promoter.
As mark of honor and respect all the
stations and engines OF the road have
been draped in mourning. The remains
were taken to Baltimore, and the funeral
took place on Sunday. Ten thousand
persons were present, including many
prominent railroad men.

A wondrou. Escape from. Death.

Last week two men were engaged in
digging we'll OIL Wanton Sherman's
farm, near North Goblin, n. r., and had
reached depth of twenty feet. A large
bucket was used to draw the earth anu
stones to the surface by means Of 4 wind
lass worked by n yoke of oxen. Suddenly
the oxen turned about and ran against the
windlass. The windlass toppled over into
the we'll and the bucket went whizz:ng
back to the bottom. The driver Of the
oxen became entangled in the rope and
was also jerked into the well. On top Of
all the rest, both oxen flOundercd into the
opening and disappeared together. The
mishap was witnessed by some men work
ing near, and crowd soon congregated,
all expecting tina. the workmen were
crushed to death. The oxen were wedged
together in the well, which had stopped
their fall the rope attached to the bucket
had caught on q piece Of timber, which
stopped the downward career Of the bucket
four feet above the men digging at the
bottom, and they had saved themselves
by crouching OH the ground when they
heard the racket overhead. The windlass
had been stopped by the bucket, and
Albert Sherman had alighted in tho soft
dirt in the bucket. After an hours hard
work with rope and tackle, the oxen, the
windlass, the bucket AMI the imprisoned
men were taken out, nearly dead from
fright Blu. without a scratch.
