sixty ExoursiOnists Killed and Two Hundred
Injured at Mud Run

HAzLEToN, Oct 1.-THE most fright
full railroad accident that ever occurred on
the Lehigh ValleyRailroad in Pennsylvania.
happened on Wednesday evening at Mud
Run, small station between White Haven
and Penn Haven Junction. The exact
manner in which this horrible accident
occurred cannot be correctly ascertained,
all that is known is that two sections from
the Father Matthew celebration at Halle
ton crushed into each other at the worse
place on the whole line for a railroad
accident--the tracks there running close
beside the Lehigh river on the edge of a
presipice seventy to eighty feet above the
water One of the passengers states that
the first intlmation he had of the danger
was the jolting of the cars and the frightful
crash caused by the collision, followed by
the blood curdling shrieks Of men, women
and children, and the groans of the injured
and dying who lay bruised and bleeding
along the tracks, under the cars and on
the steep embs nkment. No mortal pen
can paint true picture of the sad affair
which curldes the blood in ones veins as he
thinks of the misery, the pain and suffering
resulting from this fearful collision.
Great excitement prevails at all the
stations along the line, and at this time
nothing definite can be CLEANED, Passengers
on the ten p. NJ. Central train last night,
speak Of having beheld mournful picture
at the scene of the accident. Under the
dull glare of torches and lanterns the sad
vet noble work of lending aid to the injured
passengers was proceeded with while out
side the pale of the lights all was dark
drear.
Latest accounts from the point of the
accident place the number of dead at fifty
seven while the number of injured is
close on to two hundred.

cARBoS COUNTY FAIR.
The Most Successful Event in the Histoty Of
the Society.

The MOST bucoossIul Event IN the h1stoty OF
the Society.
Th annual exhibition of the
Carbon County Industrial Society closed on
last Friday evening. At no time in the
history of this society we're the exhibits so
great In magnitude ard so numerous in
variety. The display of agricultural and
horticultural products were on scale never
reached before by the farmers in this coun-
ty; the exhibits of live stock-horses, cows,
oxen, chickens, &C., conclusively demon
strated that our agricultural friends are
rapidly awakening to the Importance of
breeding fine-blooded domestic animals;
the assortment Of fancy goods, furniture,
farming implements, wagons, STOVES, ranges,
sewing machines, organs, &C., outriyalled
by far, all former exhibits. Much credit is
due President Thomas Rooms, Of
town; Secretary Bauer, of East Mauch
Chunk, and in fact, all the directors, for
increasing the premiums and general at
tractiveness of the affair. Last weeks ex-
hibition ranked equal to any similar exhibi-
tion held in any of the counties of the state.
Among the principal exhibits We take
pleasure in referring to the popular Lehigh
Wagon, manufactured by the Lehigh
Wagon Company, limited, Lehighton.
This company was awarded first medal at
the American Institute, New York, year
ago, for the finest and best made business
wagon; Trexler & Kreidler, the popular
and successful carriage and wagon builders,
Bank street, exhibited a finely constructed
carriage that would do credit to metropoli-
tan manufacture, and which reflects much
ON the ability of the firm as practical me-
chanics; the Lehigh Stove Company had a
fine display of handsome stoves and ranges;
| Valentine Schwartz exhibited bed room
and psrlor furniture; George w. Nusbaum
the popular Davis Sewing Machine; Mrs
A. N. Halpin, of Mauch Chunk, had an
artistic display of fashionable millinery
goods. as did also, Mrs. Culton, of Weiss
port.

Take everything that | have but my good
name: leave me that and am content So
said the philosopher. So say all manufacture
ers of genuine articles TO that horde of im-
itators which thrives upon the reputation of
others. The good name of Allcock's Porous
Plasters has induced many adventures To
put in the market limitations that are not
only lacking in the best elements of the
genuine article, but are often harmful in
their effects.
The public should be on their guard
against these frauds, and, when an external
remedy is needed, be sure to insist upon
having Allcock's Porous Plasters.
