WRECKED IN A STORM.
The Disaster That Befsl Two Trains on
 the Erie Road.

the Erie Road.
 PORT JERvIs, N. r., Aug. 13.-A terrible electric storm, accompanied by heavy downpour of rain, ragged in the Delaware River valley this morn- ing, and in the midst of the war of elements, one of the most serious rail- road disasters occurred on the Erie road that has been known hereabouts since the fatal Carr's rock disaster. At a point twenty miles west of this place, and near Shohola, Pa., at about 1:40 o'clock this morning, freight train No. S2, coming east, struck rock which had been loosened by the rain and had slid down upon the track. The engine of the freight train was derailed and thrown directly across the westward bound track. An instant later, and be. fore the freight train men could get out flag, the Chicago express train, heavily loaded with passengers and the deralled locomotive. The passenger engine was thrown down an eighty foot enbankment to the brink of the Delaware River, and was followed by an express car loaded with seventeen horses, in care of six men, and by the baggage, mail, smoking and first day cars. One day coach and five sleepers remained on the track and no one aboard was in ured.
 The wreck down the bank soon took fire and bmned rapidly in spite of the drenching lain, and the express, bag gage and smoking cars and tender of the engine were entirely consumed. The uninjured passengers and train hands rushed to the rescue of the wounded and those imprisoned in the burning cars. The shrieks and groans of the wounded, and the horrid CT es that came from the imprisoned and burning horses with the pitch darkness, only relieved by the quick flashes of lightning, made up an appalling scene. The rescuers worked like heroes, and it is 1elieyed saved all but one man from the burn ing wreck.
 Poor Alexander Newman of this town, fireman of the passenger train, was caught fast under the tank of the | locomotive and was burned into a blackened and shapeless mass. A pas senger who vainly tried to rescue him, was charged by him to deliver part | ing farewell to his wife. As the | flames reached the poor fellow the pas sengers turned away from scene that | they had no heart to witness.
 As soon as tn" Dews of the disaster reached this p,aee the Erie Company made up special train with surgeons and other assistants, and sent it to the scene of the disaster. The injured railroad employees. most of whom live here, were brought to their homes. The more severely wounded of the passengers were also brought here and | lodged at the Delaware House in care of surgeons and nurses of the company. About sixty persons were in the wrecked cars, of whom about thirty five, including railroad employees, were so seriously injured as to require sur gical attendance. Several of the | wounded will die.

Damage b. storm.

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Aug. 12.-Owing to the heavy rains of the past few days, only two roads out of this city, the Kansas City, Wyandotte and North western. and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, were in condition to run trains today to their destination. The Wabash Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific are in especially bad shape. Five or six washouts are reported on the Wabash between here ana Moberly, but trains managed to come in late this evening. Union Pacific trains were abandoned all day, but an effort will be made to get the line open by tomorrow. On the MisSo 1ri Pacific two trains to St Joseph and three from that point were abandoned altogether ant the Omaha and St. Louis morning and evening expresses came in from Ieavenworth over the Kansas City, St. Joe and Council Bluff road. all of them several hours late. The trouble was caused by thousand feet of the track about eight miles from here slipping into the river bodily. The Texas train is somewhere in Southern Kansas. The Rock Island an Hanni- bal and St. Joe tracks are badly washed, and with the two exceptions named above all other lines are crip- pied. It will probably be some days before the trains on the various roads will be run on time.
 The storm last night was the worst ever known here. so far as electrical disturbances are concerned. Light ming played necessarily in all rarts of the heavens from early last evening until long after day ybreak this morning. Several small house, and numerous trees were struck but 50 far as known, no one was injured in this vicinity. Corn all along the Missouri river was badly beaten down, and farmers, in consequence, will suffer badly.

 JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 12.-At s o'clock the Sanitary Association be- gan work by putting fifty teams and large gangs of men at work all over the city. cleaning up, hauling and burning all old boxes and other rub bish.
 The railroad yards furnished mater ial for huge fires as did the best-breed- ing fruit stands in the park in front of the Everett hotel on Bay street. Every ward is to be thus visited and every house, yard, closet, etc., carefully looked after. Huge fires of coal, tar and pitch pine are blazing away to- night in all parts of the city, and thick clouds of smoke hang like funeral pail over the city. Lime has been scattered broadcast through the streets and alleys and in the sewers, while copperas, chloride of lime and other disinfectants were freely used. A de- serted look prevails through the city, and after o'clock at night it might be taken for a city of the dead. Not a footfall is hea4u and hardly light for blocks at a time.
 The saw mills will probably close to- morrow as we'll as other manufacturing establishments, throwing many per sons out of employment. Much want will follow it is expected, the people being too poor to get away and having nothing left to purchase food. The people still left are terribly shaky, and if the new cases increase much faster more will leave.
 There was talk of burning the wooden portion of the Grand Union hotel This is the hotel where Mccormick was It is said also that the epidemic of 1859 and 1877 started there. There are several places that are being seen to, and if they are condemned the flames will be applied.
 The printing-oifce are suffering a great deal. The Times Union office is closed, and the Farmer and Fruit grower suspended. It is hard work to get out the daily Dispath. Da Costa Is making plucky fight, and says he will continue the Dispatch if printer can be found who will stay.
 The situation tonight is no better. There were three new cases reported up to D. m. Mrs Pat Fallon, wife of the city jailer and Edgar Davidson, freight agent of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Road; cham bermaid at Murray's Hall, Pablo, where Capt. Futile died, is reported to be down.
 Mrs. McClelland, reported as being sick at the Lafayette House, died this morning
 It is estimated that fully 10000 peo- pie have left the city, and nearly all have gone who were able or wanted to get away Business is at standstill, and shops close at an hour before sun down and do not open until the un- wholesome morning mists have cleared aWaV

 LIBERAL, KAs., 12.-Four companies of militia passed through here to-day, having been withdrawn from service in Stevens County to-day. There are yet stationed two companies at Woods dale and two at Hugoton, but it is ex' pected that these will also be returned to their homes within week unless some new trouble should occur. All the citizens of Woodsdale and Hugo ton have been disarmed, and when Sam Robinson and his party returned from Topeka few days ago they also had to give up their arms The military authorities have received in all about seYenty-file rifles, guns and pistols, but it is not supposed that the SC are all the arms which are owned by the lnhabl- tants of the two towns. The weapons will be kept in charge until It seems likely that permanent peace had been restored.
