NEW YORK. October ia disastrous

train, which left the station at 9:05,
knocking four cars of the latter across
the track of the Lehigh Valley Road.
Shortly afterwards Lehigh Valley
train, eastward bound, came laundering
along and dashed into the wreck.
The wreck is the most frightful
one on the road in years.
Four persons are known to be killed
and three wounded, but it is believed that
there are other dead bodies under the
debris. Information OF the acc dent was
telegraphed to Jersey City, and several
physicians were summoned and sent to
the wreck. The bodies OF two women
boy and Il man were recovered. The man
and one of the women were decapitated.
Their names could not be ascertained.
All the killed and wounded except one
were on the emigrant train.
THE WOUNDED AND KILLED.
Among the killed and wounded were
Eulina Arneas, Norwegian, aged thirty
five years; Marinus Klinger, Norwegian
aged eighteen; Christmas Rolsted, Nor
wegian, thirty years of age.
Stuart Bowers, fireman Oh the Lehigh
Valley train, aged thirty years.
Louis Ubenroth, conductor OF the emf
grant train, right arm broken.
An unknown Norwegian woman and
baby; the woman is badly hurt about the
head and body; the baby has both legs
and one arm broken.
Owen Halle, engineer OF the Lenigh
Valley train, was taken to Newark, The
extent of his injuries has not been
learned. AS far as learned none of the
passengers on the Western Express
were seriously injured. The pas.
sengers on the Lehigh Val
lev train were brought to Jer-
sey City on a relief train sent to the
scene. At midnight the fog was still pre-.
vailing on the meadows, and it is feared
others will be found beneath the debris.

Handy With the Gloves.

Clarence Chipp lives in bachelor
apartments, says a New York paper,
in Seventy-sixth Street, near Fourth
Avenue. He is q large man, with a
ferOcious appearance and meek dis
position. Indeed the disparity be-
tween appearance and character led
his friends playfully to call him the
sport" Mr.. Chipp rather gloried in
this title, and in his own estimation
actually became quite a dangerous
character. During the winter he at
tended the Sullivan exhibition and
grew so enamored of the 'manly art''
that he purchased a set of boxing
gloves, a pair o. foils, some Indian
clubs, and a rowing-machine After
carefully learning the names of each,
he decorated the walls and corners of
his apartment with them. One day
while Mr.. Chipp was sittingadmiringly
amid. his athletic surroundings a
friend dropped in.
Elegant gloves, Chipp," he said,
looking with great interest at the
decorations.
eyes, answered the "sport," care
lessly, as he took them down. "I'm
rather fond OF them They saw lots
Of service years ago" And then he
proceeded to explain the mystery of
patent thumbs, and other improve
mentS.
Lets put them on, Chipp"
II guess not tonight. [ am not
feeling well'
yes" urged the other, Gust for a
few minutes"
II might hurt you," said the Zero
cious-looking man, gloomily, "besides
you're a small man and don't look
strong"
"Never mind, said his friend, get
ting ready. Mr.. Chipp saw no escape.
With the greatest trepidation he put
on the gloves and began to wave his
hands, as he remembered Sullivan had
done. He doesn't recollect distinctly
what happened after that, but as he
emerged from behind his trunk, he
said in a faint voice: "Perhaps we
had better stop now" His friend
said they hadn't begun yet, but the
Hsport" was firm, and when his visit
or departed he began removing his
decorations. The next morning the
servant found four boxing-gloves, two
foils, two Indian clubs, and a
roWing-machine outside Mr.. Chipp's
door, and upon them this label: FGTo
be thrown away"

acre he grew sixty-eignt bushels and
forty-three pounds. The acre was
soWn with a little less than a bushel
OF seed, one-half white flint and the
other red chaff two varieties not now
grown in this country"
No fixed quantity of cream can be
depended upon for yielding q certain
amount of butter. Cream varies &C
cOrding to the weather and feed.
Some times it yields less butter than
at other times, falling below one week
and yielding more the next.
A WRITER says that he has found
that it requires as much food to bring
one turkey to maturity, when the
bird is confined to one ward. as to
make forty pounds of pork. We
should think that would depend on
the size Of the turkey, somewhat.
THE seedsmen's catalogues, and
every scotsman of any note now has
his regular annual catalogue, are very
interesting reading to the farmer and
gardener. But he wants to take some
thing "off the list" of new tangled veg
etables, as represented by the seed-sel-
lers.
THE cheapness of oats this year in
sures q large proportion of this food
In the ration of working horses. 1t is
the best grain for horses doing hard
work, as corn, especially in summer,
heats the system without supplying
the waste of tissue. Oats should be
used plentifully in all stables.
If your apples, turnips, onions or
| beets are frozen it will not necessarily
destroy them, provided they are not
thawed too suddenly. II placed where
they will gradually thaw, care being
taken not to disturb them, they will
be but little injured, provided they are
afterward kept in a cool place.
RULE to find the number of trees to
an acre: Multiply the distance in feet
between the rows by the distance the
plants are apart in the rows, and the
product will be the number of square
feet for each plant, which divided into
the number Of feet in an acre (43, 500
will give the number of trees in an
acre.
In regard to light soils teaching ma
nure through them, farmer located
on the light, sandy soil of New Jersey,
on which such excellent berries and
melons are produced, claims to have
filled a glass tube, say thirty inches
high, with the almost white soil, and
into it for months to have poured
dark liquid manure. He said that only
clear water came through the bottom
OF the tube at the end of his expert
ment, and that the soil was not yet
black for six inches from the top. He
was not afraid, while growing crops,
to risk any quantity Of manure on his
lands.
