A collision occurred on the New York,
Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, five miles
west of Meadville, Pa, between the "Thun-
derbolt," through train from Chicago to
New York, consisting Of an express, baggage,
smoker, ladies' car and two Pullman sleepers,
and freight trainlNo. %, a west-bound double
header. Both trains were over two hours
late, and the express, being entitled to the
right of way, was running without orders.
Taking it for granted that the express w-s in,
Conductor Murray Of the freight pulled out
for Geneva, where he had orders against
trains IS and 81. Almost simultaneously the
trains swept past the last two intervening
stations, Geneva and Buchanan, only four
miles apart, and as the word was sent to the
Dispatcher's office in Meadville the ineveta-
BILE result was certain.
The trains met with terrible crash on a
long, forest hidden curve. Both engineers
and firemen of the colliding engines were
crushed. The baggage-car, express-car and
Smoker of the passenger train were COM
pletely wrecked. The baggage-car was tel
escoped into thesmoker like wedge, splitting
it open and sweeping every seat from the
floor.
Fifty-three passengers were on the train,
fifteen of whom were more or less injured.

A CHARNEL-HOUSE.
CHASTITY DISCOVERIES MADE
IN THE KELLY RANCH IN
NO-MAN's-LAND.
A House From which Travellers Did
Not Depart.

A CHASTITY discovery, ecalling deeds similar
to those Of the notorious Bender family, has
been made on a ranch nine miles from Oak
City, in No o-Man's-LAnd The ranch hut was
occupied by family named Kelly. Nothing
was known against them, and when they
suddenly left awhile ago the fact caused no
comment A few days ago man happened
to enter the house they had occupied A ter
rible stencil caused him 10 investi-
gate, and in the basement be
found the partly decomposed body
Of man. He notified others and search
was made. Two bodies wero found. In the
aoor was a peculiarly constructed trap door,
by which it is believed the victims were
thrown into the cellar and disposed of at
pleasure, A good many people have myss n
ously disappeared of late.
Mr.. Gregg, representing a St Louis housa
confirms the reports of the bloody deeds Of
the Kelly family and gives further particu-
lars He says he can remember stopping at
the Kelly house to get meals 1t was a one
story hut, with barn short distance away.
In his former trip there, about the IOthof
November, he missed the family aud did not
know what had become of them In the last
trip he was told at Oak City the particulars
of the finding of the bodies soon after an in
vestigation had been made Beneath the
house was found cellar in which were the
decomposed remains of a man. This body lay
almost beneath trap, which had been built
in the floor. In one corner Of the cellar was
found two other bodies, both SO far decom-
posed as to be unreconizable. Besides these
Mr.. Gregg says there were four boiies found
buried beneath the stable, one Of whi,h was
that Of woman. A cowboy named 'Texey,'
who said he was with the second investigat-
ing party, stated that The first bodies found
led to so much talk that the whole
premise for rods around the house was
searched. Lying alongside of the barn,
buried at depth Of not over three feet, was
unearthed the remains of man which APP
peared to be better dressed than any of the
others, and which it was believed was the
body of the missing ]. 7. Taylor. About two
ieet away was a second body notat all recog.
nizable. At the corner of the barn were
buried the bodies Of third map and woman,
The bodies were taken from their resting
places and giving burial Nothing has been
heard of the Kellys since they remsved.
There is feeling, however, that with their
ill-gotten gains they had removed to Old
Mexico, In speaking of the person al appear
ance Of the family, Mr.. Gregg says there was
nothing particularly disagreeable about
them. The son and dau shter were over 20
years of age.

The Social paper, the "Volks Zeitung,n of
New York, published the following blood,
thirsty circular in German and English and
copies were distributed along the line of the
railroads and in the docks by some mysterious
agency:

The circular, it is learned, was read at sew

A Man Who Was Mobbed for Selling
Liquor Sues for Damages.
Henry Hackathorn, Of La Grange county,
Ind, has arrived at Indianapolis, in charge
of Federal Marshal, of Ft. Wayne. Hack
athorn lived i'll the little town of Valentine,
La Grange county, where he kept shoe
shop, and as side issue, sold liquor in bottles.
This became SO notorious and resulted in SO
much drunkenness in the village, that about
two weeks age, crowd of fifty or more men
and women attacked his place Of business,
tore it to pieces, and drove him out of town
with clubs and bad eggs. He went to La
Grange, and since has instituted suits against
ten OF the leading citizens, demanding SlO,-
600 in each case, for the destruction Of his
place Of business, and the injuries to himself.
1t is understood also, that the Grand Jury
has taken O hand in the matter, and has in
dicted forty or fifty people on chargeof riot
ing. Some of these, in turn, have had Hack
athorn arrested for selling liquor without a
license. Very bitter feeling has resulted from
the matter, and there is likely to be further

A COAL FAMINE
Small Stocks of Coal In the Ohio
VALLEY,

Small Stocks OF Coal In the Ohio
Valley.
The question Of fuel supply IN the Ohio
Valley is regarded by some as becoming a
very serious one.
The long continued drouth and the proba-
oiiity Of its continuance, with the small
stocks of coal from Pittsburgh, the main
source OF supply, is eausing much anxiety
among those who failed earlier in the winter
TO make provision
There is no probability, however, of a coal
famine, such as has been experienced in the
past, owing to the supply from the Kentucky
mines. Louisville consumes, upon an average
1000 bushels day Ordinarily by far the
greater portion of this is Pittsburg, but at
present all of the dealers Of the city together
do not hold in stock more than q, 900 bushels
of Pittsburg coal, and it requires ten foot
river at Pittsburg to let the awaiting feet OF
10000, 900 bushels out More than half OF
this will come to Louisville, but the probabil.
ity of a rise in the Ohio is small, good author
tiles expressing the belief tn It freezs-up viii
soon occur, which will delay relief from Pitts
burg untilsome time in FebI bIuarS.
In the meantime the price Of coai mas ad-
vanced nearly 100 per cont, and the poor ar
suffering correspondingly. During the past
the railroads have brought to the city dally
an average Of 10000 bushels, AMI the mans
ayers say this can be increased sufficiently to
supply the demand. Notwithstanding the
statements Of the railroad authorities, every
coal dealer in the city is from four to seven
days behind his orders
Summing up the situation, it will be seen
that the circumstances demonstrate Louis
ville's good fortune in having within 1876
miles an inexhaustible supply Of coal accessi-
BILE to the railroads, and that the worst fea-
ture is hardship to the poorer classes by the
high prices, which will probably go still hign-
er, owing to the competition from Pittsburg
being shut off.

A sLooP RUN DOWN.
The Wreck Found Adrift and the
Grew of Five Men Missing.

Crew of Five Men Missing.
Ine fishing schooner J. P Allen reports
having fallen in with the wreck of the sloop
sm.ck Lizzie Ella on Tues lay morning, about
seven miles southwest Of Cape Bias.
TIE vessels mast had been broken in three
pieces, the stern was gone with the exception
of that part upon which theiname was paint
ed, her bottom was altogether gone, and the
only part Of the deck remaining was about
eight or ten feet forward. The windless was
8 anding uninjured, but the cables and
anchors were gone, as also the bowsprit and
the bolts.
It is believed that the Lizzie Ella was rid
ing at anchor when she was run down by q
heavier vessel which drove against her with
such force as to tear the cables from the wind
less. The fate of the crew is unknown, but
it is feared they are drowned. The vessel
was a sloop of sixteen tons and had crew OF
five men, including the Captain, James Dill
lon, who owned her. One Of the men was
George Smith, and the others were Norwegian
sailors whose names are unknown.

SNAKE IN A MANS STOMACH.
The Reptile Expelled BY Means Of a
Surgical Operation.

Surgical Operation.
A special from Charlottetown, P. E. l..
gives an account Of wonderful surgical ope-
ration just performed there. Louis LIE Blank,
aged 25, for the past six months was subject.
to violent pains in the stomach and possessed
voracious appetite. Physicians failed to
relieve him, and, suspectfhg foreign sub
stance in his stomach, proposed a surgical
operation which was agreed to by the pa
tient DR.. Robert McVale un-
dertook the cise. An incision
was made and the stomach drawn
up and stitched to the under surface Of the
abdominal wall. After a few days. to allow
the stomach to form "a communication in its
new locality, he op nei the organ. Then a.
most remarkable sight was presented A
snake fully twelve inches long lay coiled up
in the suspected loc slity. As soon as the
opening in the stomach was mlde 1t sprang
at the hand of theoperator. Missing its aim,
it changed its tactics and made an attempt to
dash through the piloric orifce, but in this
it was foiled, for after the operator seizsd it
by the tail and drew it back. Having eluied
the grip Of the forcep it escaped into the
oesophag,ls and it emerged through thes
mouth and the patient was thus relieved ofa
his tormentor.

MATTERS or MOMENT.

HonAL growth Is Of more consequence
than purple and fine linen; and the ripen-
ing Of spiritual forces to unfold and perfume
lie and character must be made the pri-
mary consideration.
II is certainly folly, II nothing worse, to
attempt to live and dress beyond your abil-
ity to pay. You not only spend more than
you ought, but you lose your own self
respect as well as. that Of your neighbours,
with the certainty Of defeat in the end, for
the end is only a question Of time.
DoN'r be afraid Of killing yourself with
work. It is beyond your power to do that
Men can not work so hard as that on the
sunny side Of thirty. They die sometimes,
but it's because they quit work at six p m.
and don't 60 home until two q. m. It's the in,
terval that kills. Work gives an appetite
for meals; it lends solidity to your slumbers;
it gives the appreciation Of holiday.
If men and women were wiser, they would
rate themselves higher and not suffer theil
natures to he dwarfed out Of all proportion
by the frivolous atmosphere Of small tall
and small achievement. They would resist
courteously but firmly what they know Il
bo counterfeit, whether fashion ccunten
ances it or not. The fashion of truth, sin
cerity, dignity is the oldest and best fash
ion. 81.

Points in Cheese.Making,

1t will pay farmers who do not have
good facilities for making butter in hot
weather to make cheese. We give the
essential points to follow in order to
make cheese. There must be a tub of
some kind for a vat, a press and q
cheese-hoop in which to press the curd.
We remember our mothers little rich
cheeses with real relish, if so many
years have elapsed. The milk must be
heated to Sc degrees, or near that, and
the rennet added. One drachm rennet-
inc is enough for $50 pounds of milk.
This is prepared form of rennet. In
one hour the curd may be. cut into
cakes. In a half hour heat the curd
up to 100 degrees, doing it slowly
about an, hour. By twelve o'clock
draw the whey. When the curd will
draw out thread-like it is ready to put
into the press. The temperature should
be about so degrees. The curd should
be ground or chopped fine; add salt
II pounds for 25O pounds of milk. A
curd may be kept over in cool place
from one day to another, in small
dairy, to make enough for a cheese.
The curd ripens or cures while in the
whey, and this makes the cheese bet
ter. Do not hurry this process. Too
much rennet, high-heating and an OK
cess of acidity spoil cheese.-Farm,
Journal.

Advantages Of Baling Hay.

Machines for baling hay have lately
been greatly improved and cheapened,
and the rapidity and ease of baling is
far ahead of past years. The advan-
tages Of baled hay over loose is so
great that almost any farmer who
raises sny large amount of hay can az
ford to bale it. The writer has baled
q good many hundreds of tons when it
was slow and tedious process. But
even then when it had to be
hauled seven miles to q market or
for feeding, it paid largely to bale
it. Twice as much can be handled by
the same team, it takes SO much less
storage. The hay is preserved in a
better condition, and stock will eat it
cleaner. When baled, large amount
can be stored in small barn or shed,
and thus saved from the hard storms
of summer and winter, which usually
destroy one-fourth of hay in stack and
render the balance defective. Baled
in any market is worth more than
loose. The difference usually is more
than enough to pay for baling. The
convenience and speed of hauling,
storing, safety and quality largely pre-.
dominate in favor Of baling. - Des
