At Blue Stone Quarry, OH the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, two miles
above Connellsyille, Pa, between five
and six o'clock last Friday morning,
the Washington express going toward
Pittsburg jumped the track and the en-
tire train Of six cars rolled over an em-
bankment, leaving the engine and ten
der. The sleeping car was turned COM
pletely over, lodging on its side in the
Youghiogheny river. The escape of its
occupants was miraculous, as the sleeper
and coaches were well filled with pas
sengers. Those who could got out at
once and fastened to the rescue of those
imprisoned. Axes and picks were APP
piled and all were speedily rescued.
The two passenger coaches stopped at
the waters edge, hut the baggage car
went into the water. There were many
passengers on board. The scene that
followed was one that beggared descrip-
ton, The cries of the injured and maim-
ed were heard from every car; fright
ened passengers sprang from windows
and struggled with each other to escape
from the rolling cars and walls of pain
were heard from some who had been
caught and held within the wreck.
One young man In the sleeper, who
had been in a wreck before, happened
to be near the stove. When he felt the
cars jumping over the cross-ties he
seized the stove with both arms and
held on with a death-like grip to pre-
vent it from upsetting and the car from
taking fire. When the car landed at the
foot of the embankment and had turned
over two or three times the young man
was still holding on to the stove. He
was badly burned on the hands and
arms, Few of the passengers in the reg
ular coaches sustained any injury. These
coaches were ahead of the sleeper and,
although badly wrecked, did not upset.
The passengers were jolted about and
some slightly bruised. One woman with
sig children, the oldest of whom was
about ten years of age, occupied a coach
near the sleeper. The little ones were
scattered in all directions, but were
more frightened than hurt.
The train that met with the accident
is one of the fastest on the road and was
running ut the rate of fifty miles an
hour. or, in the language of one of tho
officials of the road, "She was going as
fast as the engine wheels could turn"
The accident is supposed to have been
the result Of malice. The switch was
set half open, so as to throw the train
from the track. Although no one was
killed, over twenty persons were in
jured, among them being lumher of
prominent people from Pittsburg.

An Insane Bridegroom.

Wednesday evening Of last week,
near the little town of Salisbury, Md,
William Taylor, farmer forty-five
years old, was married to Miss Emily
Watson, girl Of eighteen. There was
large and merry attendance at the
wedding and MI. Taylor received many
warm congratulations upon his good
luck in obtaining such a young and
beautiful bride. The wedding created
quite local sensation. Thursday Mr..
Taylor complained of being unwell and
could not continue his trip North on
his bridal tour. Friday morning he
rose quite early and went to livery
stable, where, at the point Of pistol,
he compelled the proprietor to give him
a team. Then he drove quietly back to
the hotel and induced his wife to accom-
pany him for drive. Upon his return
he showed signs OF insanity, and when
a constable came to arrest him for steal
ing the team he became frenzied. 1t
took a whole posse comitatus to over
power him and get him to Jail. When
physicians examined him they pro-
nounced him hopeless idiot. His wife
is nearly frantic with grief.

An Unfortunate Affair.

The Union Watchman gives the fol-
lowing account of distressing incident
that occurred in Monroe county, West
virginia.:
son Saturday evening, November Z,
Rufus Huffman, who lives about three
miles below the Salt Sulphur Springs,
Monroe county, was returning home
from Fences mill. About o'clock,
when a few hundred yards beyond the
residence of NJ. NJ. Pine, his horse be-
came frightened, and upon close obser-
walton he discovered a dark object in a
corner of the fence surrounding an or
chard, which he took to be a bear.
Turning his horse he rode back to Mr..
Pines and told him there was bear in
the road just ahead. Jacob Pine pro-
duced two shotguns, added three buck
shot to the usual charge, and the two
went back together. When within about
thirty PAGES they saw the supposed bear,
and, taking aim, fired very nearly at
the same time. Upon investigation they
found what they supposed was bear
to be man, John Raines by name. His
flesh was torn with small shot, and
three buckshot had pierced his body,
inflicting mortal injuries. He died a
few hours later. 1t has been sscertained
that Rains was intoX icated. An inves-
tigation was held, and Nessrs. Pine and
Huffman were acquitted Of any criminal

Views of CUngressmen.

The Louisville Courier Journal recent
ly sent to all the Members Of Congress
a list of questions, and has published
the answers received, the result being
as follows:
Would you favor an amendment to the
rules Of the House providing that the
general appropriation bills, except the
Legislative, Sundry Civil and Deticien-
cy bills, shall be prepared and control
led hereafter by the appropriate stand
ing committee on the several branches
of public service?
Reply. AZ Democrats unqualifiedly
favor al. amendment; give qualified
answer; oppose a change and 3 are
non .committal. 4s Republicans I'M
qualifedly approve; II qualify their an
swer; oppose a change and % are
non committal.
Do you favor any change in the laws
governing silver coinage and silver GER
tificates, and if so, what modification
would you regard as desirable?
Reply. Democrats: A favor legisla-
ton, 40 oppose it and are non-commit-
tai. Republicans: 60 favor legislation,
l6 oppose it and Is are non-committal.
70 what extent, in your opinion,
would a revision of the tariff and inter-
nal revenue laws be desirable at the
next session?
Reply. Democrats: 30 favor agita-
ton, oppose it and 3 are non-commit-
tai. Republicans: Is oppose tariff leg
i.lation, favor it and II are non-com-
initial.
Congressman Wilson, of this district,
replies as follows:
"First-I favor some distribution
among the other appropriate standing
committees Of the immense powers now
centralized in the single Committee On
Appropriations.
"Second-I cannot give specific an
swer to this question. favor the reten-
ton of bi-metallic currency.
"Third-The laws governing the ad-
ministration of our custom-houses need
revision in the direction of simplicity
and equity. The tariff and internal rev.
enue laws need revision: First, to abol-
ish any surplus revenue; second, under
the latter to abolish taxes on the prod
ucts of agriculture in first hands, re-
tanning other internal taxes Except pos
sibly on fruit brandy. There should
be reduction of the tariff according to
the promise of the Democratic Chicago
platform Of 1884,

IT is good thing that once in year
we are called upon to give thanks for
the blessings that we enjoy, and to con-
slider how much we owe to the Giver of
all Good. We become so accustomed to
blessings that we take them as matter
OF course, and sometimes scarcely real
lie that we have them until we are COM
PEELED to give them up or our attention
is specially directed to them. The
American people, as nation, have
much to be thankful for. Our country is
prosperous, we have had no wars or ru-
mors Of wars, no pestilence has invaded
the land, aud the crops have generally
been abundant. As individuals, while
we may have some minor complaints,
the blessings will be found to be largely
in the majority. All the blessings we
have as a nation we have as individ-
nails. 1t is glorious thing to be
free and enlightened citizen of Chris
tian country. If we will honestly
think upon our condition we must real
ize that we have more for which we
should be thankful than we have for
repining. And there are very few who
have not been dealt with little bet
ter than they have deserved. Let us
give thanks, not forgetting that We
have an opportunity to help the poor.
