their lives, occurred at Silver Brook, a
mining village ahert eight miles from

one of the houses situated a short dis
tance west OF the town lived the fami-
lies of Lawrence Maulick and John Delch-

day they all came to this place TO attend
the dedication of the new Polish Catholic
church, and before returning home be-
came drunk. After arriving home
they INDUCED freely in ''polink,n
when they became helplessly stupeied,
engaging in a fierce fight. According to,
the story OF one of the participants, one
OF them, named John Seddo, upset a
lighted lamp, which exploded, and scat
tered the burning oil all over the clothing
of the inmates. In their drunken condi-
tion. six of them either did not know
what to do, or were too drunk to climb
out of the window, and persisted in the
flames. Their names are: John Ellis,
aged twenty; John Seddo, twenty-five;
John Kebinki, thirty; Michael Yokovitch,
thirty; Paul ~Sisskowicz, twenty, and
Mary Maulich, sixteen. Maulich and his
wife and infant child were also badly
burned, and it Is feared they will die.

A Railroad Grading Machine.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo, Feb. 14.-Mr. M. e.
Pugh, Of this city, has received letters
patent on q machine for railroad grading,
which promises to entirely do away with
old methods. The machine consists Of
ewo consolidated engines OF I00-horse
power each, placed side by side,
both at the same time working
directly upon an upright shaft
containing two large sheave wheels, one
sixteen feet and the other twelve feet in
diameter. On the shaft, directly over
each other. are arrsns ea ss;=Hss similar
wheels, placed at any required distance
out on the line Of grade. There are two
endless cables passing around the sheaye
wheels of the engine to those beyond,
These cables run between five and seven
miles an hour. Ordinary scrapers are
used and plows are attached to She ca
Dies every twenty feet, moving each from
one-hah to n yard Of earth. The ma
chinery will remove blasted rock, using
hooks. 1t works at a cost of 4c per ward
for removing earth, and 1oc for rocks.

HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. A.-The regu-
lar passenger train on the Northampton
division of the Consolidated road. con-
sisting of a baggage and express car, and
a passenger coach, which left New Hart
ford at 9;45 a. M, was ditched at Rich
ards mills, and several passengers were
injured. The inner rails of the curve
spread outward, and two cars were
thrown down an embankment forty feet,
falling on their sides at the bottom
of the bank. The engine did not leave
the rails. The eight or ten passengers In
the coach were terribly frightened, being
hurled with great violence amidst the
flying seats. They were taken from the
more or less injured. Miss Ella Broad
way, of Barkhampstead, was badly cut
about the face and injured in the chest.
She was unconscious when removed, but
will probably recover Ths Rev. VIM.
Miller, OF New Britain, was badly hurt
in the spine and back. His limbs were
paralyzed, and fears are entertained that
his injuries are serious. His back was
hit by the moving back of a seat,
and his head by a flying cushion. These
WI aases are the worst results
of the disaster. Scarcely a passenger got
out of the upset without bruises. Brake
man DAILY was hurt in the left hip, but
not disabled. Conductor Bentley suffers
considerably from an injury in his back.
Miss Hungerford, of New Haven, was
slightly injured. Four Germans, from
near Collinsville, received slight injuries.
The company's superintendent has al
ready settled with Rev. Mr.. Miller for
his injuries, and is arranging settlement
with the other injured passengers.

RoR IN NEW YORK.

A Heavy Steam Engine Used In Hosting
Falls on y Gar. Crushing Through ths
Roof Killing Seven Persons ana Fa-
tally InJuring Others.
BROOKLYN, N. x, Feb. 1.-THE most
terrible accident hat has yet occurred in
connection with the building of elevated
railroad structures in this city, took place
Tuesday morning, at 9:45, on Broadway,
near Ellery street, Eastern district. The
steam engine used by the Union Elevated
Railroad company in hoisting Orders,
fell just as the Reid avenue car was
passing under it. The engine crashed
through the roof of the car, and the pas
sengers, among them several wopisn,
were buried in the ruins. Ambulances,
hre engines, and hook and ladder trucks
OF the fire department were soon on the
scene, and aided in the work of res
cuing the people from under the
debris. A gang of laborers employed
on the elevated road were also put to
work Immediately to assist in the work
OF rescue. Seven people are known to
have been killed outright, and about ten
or twelve more received injuries. The
following is a list of those killed so far as
can be learned at this hour:
Charles Kirschner, Brooklyn, workman
on the elevated road; Patrick Clark, New
York; Michael McCauley; Emma Holton,
and Thomas IT. snpson, of Brooklyn, the
driver OF the car. Two unidentified
bodies nave been recovered.
The injured are: Marcus Member, both
legs broken;GJacob Bender, badly in
jured; Justice John Peterson, badly in
Jured; Thomas Cosburg, badly Injured;
Matt Young, horse car passenger, slightly
hurt; John j. Cassidy, New York, bad
Commissions on both legs; Edward Peters.
slightly hurt; William Nichols, New
York, badly hurt; John Field, New York,
scaly wounds. :
The accident seems to have been caused
by an upright beam not having been
sufficiently we'll secured in its granite
sockets, and when the weight of the lift
ing machine came upon the platform,
they gave way. The wooden beams were
examined by reporters. and found to be
much decayed where they snapped, ut
the bolts.
Coroner Lindsay, was early OF the
scene, and made necessary arrangements
for holding an inquest. John Schaffer,
superintendent of railroad workmen, has
been placed under arrest. 1t Is not
known definitely just how many were in
1ured, as some hurried to their homes
without reporting the extent Of their In
juries. IL is believed the number will
reach thirteen or fourteen.

A Tax title Decision,

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Feb, 14-An-
other tax title case was decided by Judge
Young. The property is worth some
$40, 600, but the principles at stake in
volve a great deal more. The plaintiff is
IN possession of the property, and be got
title to it through different tax sales.
Tit court held the tax titles to be void.
and the case was decided for the defend
ant. AS regards a part of the property,
the court held that the certificates were
imperfectly made, for the reason that
they included more than one tract of land
or description without showing the
tracts were sold separately, and the
amount of each sale. The other point is
that in the publication OF the delinauent
tax list the sign of the dollars was omit
ted. 1t was impossible to tell whether
dollars or cents were meant. Now it is
stated that there is this same error In the
entire delinquent tax roll OF 1881.
