trains on the Cincinnati Southern Railroad
came into collision at l p. NJ. near Green
wood, KY, about twenty miles north of

Engineer Michaels, of train No. ,, north

was running down grade at the rate of
sixty miles an hour, and did not see the en-
CINE approaching his train until it was about
fifty feet away. Without stopping to re-
verse his engine or turn on the air-brake ne
a lot of bushes, finally dropping in a mud
hole. One of his ankles was badly hurt.
Train No ! was running up grade at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour. Sam Ben

meeting Conductor Shrum after the accident
he inquired: What does this meanF Shrum
replied: 81 had orders to run to Somerset

On taking it from his pocket he discovered
his mistake, for it ordered him to run to Sum
NIT. The dreadful discovery was too much
for Shrum and he lost his mind.

Wreck of an Erie Express.

The fast Chicago express on the New York
Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad, consisting
of two sleepers and five day coaches, came into
collision with freight train, No D. made up
of two engines and sixty cars, three miles
west of Meadville, Penn, at s o'clock A NJ.
Five persons were killed and fourteen
injured. The dead are: William George,
engineer on the freight train; Edwin Humes,
fireman on the freight train; E. 7. Swan, en-
gineer on the express; Arthur Irwin, fireman
on the express, and commercial traveller
named Stevens.
The physicians thought none of the
wounded would die. The wreck was caused
by the freight engineers leaving Meadville
yard in advance of their orders They were
ordered to leave the yard soon as the ex-
press arrived. They went in advance of its
arrival. When Yardmaster Drecker saw
that they were gone he boarded switch en-
CINE and under all steam followed them, but
was unable to overtake the freight.

THIS is the golden age Of journalism
in New York, says a letter from that
city. Never in the history of newspa-
per making in the city was SO much
money made by newspapers. and never
was so much paid by newspaper pro-
prietors to those who make them.
Journalists are better paid now than
ever before. Good articles from special
contributors are more eagerly sought
after and more literally paid for than
at any time since journal SIN became a
profession. First-class editors aud re-
porters command nearly double the paw
they did fifteen years ago. The salary
of one managing editor of leading
morning newspaper is $4,000 yearly.
At least five managing editors are y nd
over $4,000 each yearly. Good city
editors are paid from 50, 500 TO = %.
Specialists are paid from 900 to
$4,000 each. A score at least OF good
reporters are in receipt of incomes
ranging from So, 600 to 5000. Core
epondents of leading out-of-t'wn pa
pers are paid from 5000 to s. $40.
