AN EYEWITNESS.
What a Passenger on One of the Lehigh
Valley Excursion Trains Saw ut Mud

What a Passenger on One of the Lefigh
Valley Excursion Trains Saw ut Mud
Run.
SCRANTON. Pa, Oct. 12-Walter Nc
Nichols, of the Scranton post Office, gives
the following thrilling account of his ex-
perience in the Lehigh Valley disaster on
Wednesday night: 81 was on the train
following the one that was run into, sit
ting in a car about the middle of the
train. The first I knew of the accident
was the sudden and tremendous Jarring
Of the train. It was then about 7:45
O'Clock. Two engines were pulling the
train on which 1 was on. AS soon as the
crash occurred the people who
filled the hind train at once rushed
for the doors. The jam was fear
full. The people went out OF the
windows pell-mell, aud the first I saw
was the forward engine Of our train
damned into the hind coach of the for.
ward train. The cars had taken fire Fl ON
the broken lamps. but the flames were
quickly extinguished by the use of buck.
cts. The scenes were fearful. Bodies
were wedged in between tho seats and
among broken timbers. One man was
held down by the dome Of the engine on
our train which had crushed upon him.
Another had tried to escape by the win-
dows of the car, but was in the crash
and had the life squeezed out
Of him. He was pinned be-
tween the timbers. Others were moan
ing and crying most pitifully. Steam
from the engines scaided severely all
those who were held down by the broken
seats and car timbers. I do not think
there was one in the last car of the front
train who escaped alive. On every hand
willing persons were at work rescuing the
a., T.
ing the people away to be cared for. The
scene was too terrible to witness, and
thrill Of horror passes through me as !
endeavor to detail IT."

BANK CLOSED.

Collapse of the Farmers and Mechanical
Bank of pittsburg(S, Pa.-The Deposttors
Feel Shal<y, But the Stockholders Arc
Liable.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct 14-Yesterday
morning card tackled to the door of the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank, located
at the corner Of Eighteenth and Carson
streets, South Side, reading: t'This bank
is closed by order of the board of direc-
tors" caused much surprise and consid-
cradle excitement when it became known
throughout the city. A large number Of
the banks depositors assembled early in
front of the building, but no authentic
Information could be obtained other than
that the banks affairs are now in the
hands of j. H. Sorg, H. ]. Berg and
Cunningham, assignees. A stakeholder
in the bank states that some time ago it
was known that the bank was in trouble,
aud that board of appraisers had been
appointed to examine the assets OF the
institution. They decided that the
shares, the par value of which Is 500,
were worth $50 each. The directors in
turn submitted two propositions to the
stockholders. which were accepted. and it
was generally believed that the disaffec-
ton existing was satisfactorily settled.
It is known that number Of the heavier
uepOSltorS IeLuofou suClI AuuuS AIo IL oAO
bank several weeks ago. There are
large number of small depositors who,
in the absence of official information,
feel very shaky over their prospects.
The directors refuse to talk about the
condition of the bank, REFER ing all COM
ers to the assignees. 1t is stated semi
officially, however, that oil depositors
will be paid in tull. as the stockholders
are individually liable for twice the
emount OF their stock. The bank was or
eanized in 1868, with capital stock Of
$3.50, 600. j. FL. Sorg is president and H.
j. Berg cashier. Last year the bank had
q surp' us OF $13, 900. acld has always been
consid ,red safe institution. Rumors
are afioat that number of South Side
have largely overdrawn their
accounts. This, however, lacks confrrna-
ton.
