Frightful Railroad Disaster.

WuKEsBARRE- Oct 1.-THE Father
Matthew celebration at Hszleton
yesterday ended in a most frightful
disaster, the like of which has never
been seen on the Lebigh Valley Rail
road, or indeed in this country.
The wreck occurred at Mud Run,
about midway between White Haven
and Penn Haven junction A crowd
ed section of the heavily loaded ex-
cursion train, while standing still,
was run into by another section.
The last three cars, filed to over
flowing, were totally wrecked, and
all the passengers in the rear car
were killed.
The last two cars telescoped, and
the passengers were either crushed
TO death or pressed against the boiler
and burned to death
! Passengers gave many different
accounts of the probsble cause of
the accident, some attributing it to
the negligence of the flag man in not
going back with the red light.
Others say the section which ran
into the other had no air brakes.
The list of dead numbers 90, and the
number of injured numbers over 100
people.
! Mr. Jackson tells the following
& 'ory of the affair: / was standing
near the train talking to McCahill a
few minutes before the accident oc-
CURED. Our train had been waiting
for ten or fifteen minutes when ]
saw the headlight of the other section
coming along. The light was nearly
half mile away when 1 first noticed
1t, and, of course, supposed that
the train would stop. At the time
l noticed that there was boy with
q lantern, III which burned a white
light, standing on the end Of the
platform of the rear car of our train
did not notice that there was any
red light there, but L did see tn,
red light on The signal post, and alsC
man eighty yards up the tract
waving a red lantern, but the biz
; headlight came dashing on at tn,
rate of twenty FIVE miles an hour
1t passed the red light like a flash
and it then occurred to me what i
all meant-the engineer had not see,
the red light and an awful thing wa
about to happen I had left my DO.

had not run a foot when the
crash came, and nv heart sickened
as thought that above the terrific
noise of the shock could hear my
boy but guess he was dead then
We found him and his cousin hours
afterwsrd. We could do nothing for
our friends, it seemed. The first
engine of the rear train and the two
last csrs of our train, which had
been packed with people-the aisles
and even the platform being filled
we were SO mixed up that we could
scarcely tell which was which. The
boiler of the engine was pouring
down steam on the people in both
cars which were telescoped, and the
escaping steam was scalding them to
death The groans and shrieks were
something not to be forgotten in a
lifetime, but as the hours wore away
they gradually became less and less
as one after another the sufferers
either died or becsme unconscious
1t was hours before any assistance
came to us from the railroad officials,
and as there were no lights in the
cars and we had only the engine
torches to guide us the thing was
more terrible than it otherwise would
have been 1t was nearly 3 O'Clock
before we got all of the dead and
injured out The former were placed
in the freight house to await the
coming of Coroner DIR. James A.
Horan, of Mauch Chunk, who had
been summoned.

THE outlook for the reelection of
Hon. l. +. Atkinson, to Congress
the fourth time by an over whelming
majority is clear to all He served
with satisfaction to his constituents
in the 18th, 49th, and 5Oth Congress
and they are glad of the opportunity
tc send him to serve them in the com
ing 51st Congress. Hon. Henry H
Bingham, of Philadelphia is serving
his 5th term in Congress Hon.
Charles o. Neil, of Philadelphia is
serving in his 12.h term in Congress.
Hon. VIM. d. Kelly, of Philadelphia

FRoN distant Iowa comes this
endorsement. of our townspan and
candidate for Congress, DR.. Atkinson.
The writer Captain James Pott, is
a native of Fulton county and al
though casting his lot in a new state
still looks back with longing love to
his native district He ssys-it
affords us iniuite pleasure to note
the re nomination of that faithful
and efficient public servant, Hon. l..
+ Atkinson, by the Republicans of
the 18th Pa, Congressional district,
for re election for the fourth time
This is well earned recognition OF
meritorous service.
DIR. Atkinson was first nominated
when the district was banging III
the balance, and when a nomination
Was not, by any means, equivalent
to an election, but he succeeded and
his course in Congress was SC
eminently successful and popular that
the district has now for the third
time demanded his denomination
Each time he was re elected by al
increased majority, the last being
3,24T which will, we doubt not, be
raised to 1000 this time. Himself 9
sufferer from the pains and penalties
Of army service, he is pre- eminentl,
the soldiers friend aud no veteran
has ever appealed to him in vain, il
anything within his power to do, anC
he will go farther than most other
10 serve a deserving soldier.
Although no longer constituent
of that district, we have net lost al
interest in it, and we congratulate
the district and the soldiers, and a.
interested, on the sound judgmen
that dictated the denomination @
Hon. l.. f. Atkinson, for a fourt
term.

Candidate Berry says his throat is
not well and that he cannot preach.
Men who have the feelings of hu
manity feel for Mr.. Berry as they
feel for all who have physical silment,
but that is one thing and trying to
get up a sympathetic feeling on &C
count of a mans ills, to place him IN
office is another thing which Mr.
Berrys partisians are trying to do
On the same plea every man in the
community who is suffering with al
ailment might be run for an Office
II Mr. Berry has throat ailment why
should he be urged more for an of
flee than some other citizen who has
throat silment. 1t Is urged by men
who profess to know that men who
are diseased as Mr.. Berry claims to
be should not be cooped up in an of
fee 1t is said what they need is
hand work that will give them mus
cular exercise which kind of work is
more easily obtained than an Office
If hand work will secure health why
not work with ones hands. Hand
work is honorable The great and
good have all beer handworkers from
Grant and Lincoln back to time out
of date. Perhaps Mr. Berry and his
ring think IL beyond the limit of men
of ..the cloth" to work with their
hands, but there stands in the way
of such assumption the illustrious
example of the great men of the
church. The apostles were all hand
workers and the Master, Christ was
a hand worker He WAS a carpenter.
The kindest thing to do for Afr. Ber-
~, If he is out of health is to vote
against him so that he may
take to some other employment by
which he may secure greater amount
of exercise The Jesuitical ples in
his behalf has little or no merit IN 1t,
for he has been making the Office of
Register and Recorder the stepping
stone for entry into another business
as soon as he is voted out of Office.
1t is almost three years since he put off
the clerical robes and entered him
self as IA student at law, and if he
has been steadily pursuing the legal
course he Will be admitted next Jan
uary as full fiedged lawyer Among
the most profitable part of the law
yer's business in Junista is that of
settling up dead mems estates and
Berry has learned that branch al
most to perfection for the Office of
Register and Recorder is the best
practical school to graduate in the
Orphans Court business. When can
didate Berry's case is sifted it Will be
that he is not the kind of
a candidate to be voted into
that office this year. Vote for An
son Il. Wills

Roger u Mills, of Texas, is serving
his sth term in Congress The list
OF men who have served long periods
of time in Congress might be
heightened, but those just mention
ed are sufficient to show that when
a good man comes to the front IN
office, the people viii return him as
often rs they have the oportunity to
vote for him 1t also proves that
Mr. Atkinson's long Congressional
carer is not an exceptional one, but
that it is only in keeping with the
rule that when a Congressman
developes into n safe and reliable
public servant he Is generally re
turned to his former seat in the
national assembly.
