Serious Railroad Accident.

A collision occurred on Tuesday eye
ming. Oct. Goth, at about $50 o'clock,
between two passenger trains on the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad, about
two miles south of Williamsport. Two
men were killed and several seriously
injured. The killed were Arthur NJ.
Middlekaat. express messenger, of
Williamsport, who was on the Fast
Line west,and Eugene Thorne, OF Uar-
risburg, fireman on the engine of the
east-bOund train.
Daniel Roat, engineer Of Fast Line.
and Harry Welcomer, engineer Of the
accommodation train. were seriously
huit and are in the hospital. One of
the passengers, James A. Scott, of
Trenton, agent for the Standard Rub.
Der Company, Boston, had his left ear
split open by being thrown against the
stove. His injuries are not serious.
The accident was caused by the failure
of the engineer OF the east bonnd train
to observe the red danger light display
ed in the signal tower. He was doubt
less confused by theblinding rain storm
which prevailed at the time.

YER coin running the vaults over until

ed, the mints are adding two millions or
the same unhandy and unhandsome
money every month In the year, in
compliance with q stupid piece Of
legislation that passed Congress IN the
interest Of the silver.kings OF Nevada
and Colorado.
When this money Is counted 1t occu-
pies the time Of thirty expert counters
just three weeks. The popular impress
sion is that the dollars aie taken up

while the count Is on, but this is a
delusion, pure and simple, for were
this the case the treasurer OF one ad-

be able to hold his office through at
least two entire administrations before
he could be compelled to disgorge,
TheI efore the scales are resorted to, the
money being put into bags, with an
uniform weight In each by which the
whole process Of counting occupied

explosion Of gas took place in the num-
ber slope of the Delaware and Hudson
Coal Company at Plymouth this morn

The miner whose carelessness fired
the gas that caused the fatal explosion
was Peter Solintzky. There were two
explosions. The first was soon followed
by another. which swept everything be-
fore it, and sent fame of fire mp the
slope and aboYe the fan house, knocked
the shingles and timbers from the
breaker 400 feet above the solid earth.
Solintzky was not killed. but was re-
moved from the slope with only his
boots on, and no hair on his head. 9th
erwise he was uniDjured. The scene
that ensued was terrible. The victims
of the disaster lay In every direction.
Dennis Titus was instantly killed, and
when found lay 200 feet from where he
stood at the time Of the explosion.
When the gas ignited all the men in the
slope were violently thrown TO the
ground or against the cars or ribs of
the gangways. The lights on their
heads were extinguished by the shock
of the second explosion, and all were in
confusion making their way through
