AN UGLY COLLISION OF TRAINS
NEAR CHICAGO JUNCTION, o.
Cars spIintered into Kindling-wood.

TIFFIN, Ohio, Jan. 29.-This morning
at 1882 as the east-b0und passenger
train on the Baltimore and Ohio was
putting into Chicago Junction it collid-
ed with west-bound freight train. The
target was turned, blocking the freight
train from the side-track. The con-
ductor of the freight, Charles Palmer,
and a brakeman named Thomas Creole
were in the caboose. They failed to
flag the passenger train, and had no sig
nails out. The passenger train was rum
ming at the rate of twenty-five miles
per hour or faster. It carried two
coaches and three sleepers, all of which
were badly damaged.
The engine, No. 1856, formerly 1892,
the baggage car was coffin containing
which the husband was taking from
Dakota to Baltimore. The rough box
was broken open, the corpses turned on
their faces and horribly mutilated. Two
passengers were in the smoking car
playing cards. Neither of them can tell
what was the trump. The baggage car
and express coach were shattered into
toothpicks. The express car was car
rying considerable amount of Uncle
Sans silver, which was scattered far
and near. IL
The sleepers were full of passengers,
and fortunately for them no one was
seriously injured, The engine was bur-.
ried in the bank fifteen feet away from
the track. 1t is a complete wreck.
When the train struck the tender, bag
gage car and two coaches were thrown
about fifty feet ahead of the engine.
Fifteen box cars were piled up by the
track, and there was no piece of the ca
boose left that man could not carry
off. Thousands from the surrounding
country visited the wreck. gq.@-
The names of the killed and wounded
are as follows:
J. r.. Briston, conductor of the pas
senger, Piedmont, w. Va, aged thirty
two, unmarried, resides with his moth
er, who is a widow. He died at 1910 a.
M, unconscious. .a-s ..-
George Vandalier, fireman on the
passenger, Lafayette, Ind, aged twenty
seven, married. His wife was to meet
him at Garrett, Ind. He was found
dead beside his engine.
Charles Palmer, conductor of the
freight, died at a. M; married. His
home is in Garrett, Ind. Compound
fracture of the right thigh. q
Anunknown lady was scalded, and
her right limb fractured. ajl
The accident happened one and q half
miles from Chicago Junction. The
wreck is still burning. The wounded
were removed to Tiff1n. Miss Belle
Moore. Of Deshler, who was engaged to
be married to engineer Briston, arrived
here tonight and viewed the CORPSE.
The remains were taken to his home at
Garrett by his brother, who arrived
half an hour before his death. 9'"[

THE STATE TREASURY.
An Ex-Cashier Makes an Important
Statement.

Statement.
F. w. Prentiss, cashier at the State
treasury under the last administration,
was interviewed by Columbus Dis
patch reporter and made an important
correction, as follows: ea
II see that the statement Of Chair
man Brown, of the House Finance
Committee, as to the condition of the
State treasury, is disputed in some
quarters. Can you give any informa-
ton on the subject?" 5Rg
"Yes,n said Mr.. Prentiss," | see that
the statement asserts that when Gov
ernor Hoadly's administration took hold
of the treasury, and that when Cover
nor Foraker's administration took
charge he found the treasury busted
The facts and figures are that when l
counted the money in the State treasury
OIL January 14th, 1884, (the date Of trans
fer of the Department of State from the
Republicans to the Democrats) l found
$2S8, ,1O8.89, slight difference of some
$340,O0O from the published statement"
How do you account for 50 large q dis
crepancy?' ',
such q balance.n E
"Is it true or is 1t not, that the appr0-
priations by the last Legislature were
larger than usual?"
'SThe money all went into legitimate
channels. The fact is the State has had
some unusual obligations to meet in the
past two years. Forinstance $50 900, in
round numbers, was paid on account Of
the Cincinnati riots; S217 900 In round
numbers was paid for the construction
of the new Toledo asylum; $4,000 was
paid on account of the intermediate
penitentiary; $l4,500 was paid on ac-
count of the Hooking Valley riots; $46,-
600 was paid for publishing constitu-
tional amendments. There was, also, a
large sum appropriated on account Of
the Imbecile asylum, and some $65, 900
increase on account of the reform in
troduced at the penitentiary. Then,
again, the last Legislature, at its first
session, reduced the tax one-tenth Of q
mill, which reduced the revenue of the
State about $164, 200. @ la

The Girl and the Bribe.
Kansas City Times.

A story comes from Washington
which has two morals. A young lady
clerk in Secretary Larmar's Office was
known to have copied the decision in
the telephone case. Before it was made
public there was great anxiety among
the spectators and lobbyists to find out
the contents of the document. One of
these gentlemen approached the lady
and offered her IS 900 if she would be-
tray the secret. She refused, and he
raised the offer to $4,000. She made
no reply, but stepped into the next
room and informed the Secretary, who
elected the capitalist summarily. ae,ee

cago commercial traveller, arrived here.
Mr.. Packard is bald-headed. One of the en-
thusiastic strangers here advised Mr.. Pack
ard to try spring water on his head, be-
lieving that it would make the hair grow.
The gentleman gave the suggestion trial
on Sunday at The springs by thoroughly
immersiDg his head for some minutes. He
then took seat near the springs and wait
ed for his head to dry, after which he start
ed to town, and the hair grew so fast that
before he got to the Grand Central hotel,
where he was stopping, he was compelled
to stop at barber shop and get it cut.
Bald-headed commercial travellers should
make note of this and visit the springs.

place from his Port Deposit home, on Thursday
afternoon. 1t was under the supervision of the
knights of Pythias Lodge, of which the deceased
was prominent member. A handsome cloth
covered casket, with silver handles and mount
ings enclosed the remains. On the lid of the
casket silver plate bore the following: James

ty, but by friends from Wilmington Baltimore,
Havre de Grace and other parts of Hartford The
interment was at Hopewell, the Knights acting
as pall-bearers. The services of the Knights at
the grave were particularly beautiful and affect
ing. Thus ends the career of an honest, upright
and promising citizen of Cecil county and the
State of Maryland.
Farewell, brother, companion and friend. The
beautiful springtime which thou ever lowest with
fond affection will pass the summer wane and
the bowling tempest and wintry blasts shall come
and go. Thou wilt heed them not The birds
shall sing sweet melodies over thy grave; the
rain and snow shall fall upon it in vain, for thou
art not there. No, for in heaven with the pure
and holy thou shalt forever dwell with the ran.
somed OF God, who have washed their robes and
made them white in the blood of the Lamb
Sweetly sleep, sweetly rest.
Oh God. preserve our brother
Within Thy precious told
Comfort and bless the mother,
Thy plans to her unfold.
He was to her precious son.
Help her to say, "Thy will be done"
Oh dry the font of weeping,
The sorrow fierce and deep
For he is in Thy keeping,
In Jesus, fast asleepl
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
Dear Saviour, comfort those who weep.
