scenery enroute. 1t has just been month Since we

oeantiiul Capitol square, the Court House and
couple Of hotels, are worthy of mention. The time
soon passed away however; the shrill whistle from
the iron horse warned all TO be on board soon. So

The Penna- r. X. is without doubt an excellent
rold After going north for a few miles the roman
nc scenery began. II was raining then, but the
mountains fairly lowered to the sky, and the river
seemed 10 gush through them as they were equally
as nigh on the opposite side of the river. After
passing through this so-caled creyice the sun was
shining very bright and to look forward or back

grand sight for anyone to behold Here the news
came that there was wreck on the road, SO the
tfaln was delayed over an hour. However, the
time soon passed as everyone was bent on having
fun, and seemed 10 enjoy themselves. Five miles
west of this place is the grand Horseshoe curve,
well known all over the country Here is where
the accident spoken of occurred The mountains on
the right of us lowered up very high and the
moon was in position to throw its rays Just over
the tops of the trees, while on our left were cars
piled one upon another also coke was burning here
and threw the flames high in the air. and deep
gully by the side of the flames made pic
ture for any artists pencil. After leaving this point
of interest that would never be forgotten by anyone
we went to sleep and knew nothing more until we
| arrived in Pittsburgh which was o'clock, a. m.
Here the entire city lighted up by the burning
of coke, and one would without rejecting, think
the entire city was on fire.. We remained only
lew minutes here. It was laughable sight to see
