O'Clock last evening as the local freight
train was half mile north Of Sedgwick
CITY the caboose and three cars became
uncouplec. The engineer did not notice the
fact until he had gone about three miles
and started back, forgetting that the
detached cars were coming down grade
toward him with start equal
to the speed Of the train at the separation.
The brakeman stood on the rear Of the
train TO make the coupling, and the cars
came together with such force as 20 crush
him and derail three cars. There were
several passengers in the caboose. One
lady had her arm broken and others were
less seriously injured.

in Olean, y. Y, where an increase OF
twenty-five per cent. in population has
been provided for within the last three
months by additions to it's manufacturing
industries, through the organized efforts
of board of traie, the capitalists have
inauguratei novel movement which not
only ads materially in the growth OF the
place, but gives such advantages to the
laboring men that the chances for strikes
and kindred troubles are reduced TO mini
mum. ANY manufacturer locating in Clean
is guaranteed homes for his employees built
and supplied to them at actual value, the
tenants paving thereon the rental price
of from five to SIX dollars per month. Thus
Is left the laborer the option Of owning
his home, or of paying rent, the terms
in either instance being the same, save
in the matter of interest upon the unpaid
portion il case Of purchase. This the CAPT
talist takes as his profit on the transaction
In the one instance the man who buys has
his home paid for in few years: in the
other the tenant pays in the same time
nearly as much aud does not own single.
In Clean the l-b0rlng classes are lot slow
TO see the advantage of buying; the manu-
facturer sees the advantage Of steady and
reliable labor thus afforded, and the resi-
dent capitalist a sure prevention of strike
and safe investment Of his money. The
example Of the moneyed men of Olean is
worthy the emulation of those in other
towns whose growth Is regarded by the
too conservative policy Of capitalize
change.

ST. PAUL'S HOSPITAL.
Report of the Institution for 9
Months.

Report of the institution for SIX
Months.
A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee of st. Paul's Hospital was held at
No. 81 Sand street on Saturday last.
The committee, through Mrs. G. ]. Fox, 1,
presented report for the six months
ending July l, 1888, from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken: Total number
of cases treated, 65; of these 55 have
been admitted since January LIST, 32
have been discharged and have died.
OF the number treated 6 were free
patients, and IL were treated homeo-
pathically. AS regards religious denom-
nations, Is were Episcopalians, Is Pres
byterians, Methodists, Roman Cath
olics, 5 Baptists, 2 Congregationalists. 8
Lutherans, l Unitarian, 8 Protestants
unclassifed. A most useful and much
appreciated donation of old linen has
been received from Mrs. Reinhart, Of
the Depot Hotel; also bedstead and
bureau. crib and mattress from Mrs.
Crocker; magazines from Mrs. Nor
timer, Mr.. Towel and Rev. E. Birdsall,
Further donations of the kind would be
highly acceptable.
The necessity of procuring site and
erecting a wing similar in size to that Of
the building at present occupied is
urgent, the rent being so heavy an item
in current expenses.
Further contributions to the building
fund are solicited. The committee con-
slider the general state of the hospital to
be prosperous, and that there is cause
for encouragement, but there is very
pressing demand for endowed beds, as it
is impossible to provide for free patients
out OF monthly receipts. A special ap-
peal is made in this behalf.
Sister Mary, who has the direct man.
agement of the hospital and who gives
her services without compensation, re-
ported the receipts for the past six
months $2,536.30, and the expenses
$2,S73.40. The acting treasurer in the
absence of Mrs. Lucy s. Longstreet,
Treasurer, reported balance in bank
of SO, 1890, which with the lots donated
by st. Pauls Church, valued at $4,000,
constitutes nucleus for building fund.
1t is hoped that the steps already taken
to interest all denominations and benevo-
lent societies in this work Of mercy, will
yet be successful, and that an institution
will be founded creditable to the city.
