A man writes from Connecticut in enlighten-

of live wasps, holding my breath at the moment
that the wasp was grasped, and have never been

The Lehigh Valley Accident

There seems to be an epidemic of railroad
accidents. Several, in which people have
been killed and injured, have occurred re-
Gently. The one on the Lehigh Valley
| road, however, the particulars of which
were given in our dispa tches yesterday,
was the most terrible Of all OF t. EN-.
Sixty-five or seventy people were killed
without moments warning, and quite
large number severely injured. There had
been celebration of some kiT d at Hazelton,
and about 5000 people had gone there from
Pennsylvania towns. They were returning
home when the accident occurred. The
trains were being run in sections, ten
minutes apart, and one section ran into an
other that had stopped at station.
1t is said that a fiagman was sent back a
distance of 900 feet to warn the approach
ing section of the whereabouts of the
section ahead, but that the engineer of the
approaching section did not heed the
danger signal 1t is remarkable that he
did not. His own life was in peril, and it
is not probable that he would have pur-
posely sacrificed his life. If he had been on
the lookout he would have seen, perhaps,
the red hight of the section ahead of him in
time to have stopped his train, because the
statement is that his section was on an
up grade, and could therefore have been
stopped quite easily and within very short
distance. That the light of the section in
front could have been seen quite while
before the section following reached it is
shown by the statement of passengers on
the rear platform of the waiting section.
They saw the headlight of the engine of the
approaching section, and jumped to the
ground and saved their lives. 1t would
seem, therefore, that the cause of the accl-
must be looked for elsewhere
The statement made by one passenger is,
that the section that was following, and
caused the disaster, was without air brakes
If this be the case, the failure of the train
that caused the accident to heed the dan
ger signal is explained. 1t hardly seems
probable, however, that a railroad COM
pany would send out a train crowded to
suffocation without the means to stop it
promptly, and, that too, when it was fol-
lowing closely another train
Before the responsibility can be placed
where it belongs, there will have to be
thorough investigation. 1t is about impos-
sible to provide against all railroad acct
dents, but it is certain that if there was
less negligence, and greater attention to all
the details in operating railroads, the num-
Der of accidents would be much less

In the opinion of General Master Work
man Powderly, this is good season to hunt
bears. Mr. Powderly wants one particular
bear in Chicago, known as "Old Hutch, ~
hunted down. He says: Congress is in
session quarreling over tariff bill to regu-
late the price of articles that come to our
shores in ships, and Hutchinson is raising
the price of that which is native to the soil,
and which every workingman is most in
need Of, but no steps are taken by congress
to put an end to Hutchinson and his
methods" Mr. Powderly is right when he
says that some action must be taken against
trusts, corners, combinations, etc. The
passage of the Mills bill would be blow to
them, but the republican Senate won't
allow it to be passed.

The democrats of Newark, N. j., are jubi-
liant over the result Of the recent local cleo
ton in that city, and the republicans, says
the New York Tribune, are very much
gratified. The qualification of the repubh-
cans, however, must be in the mind of the
Tribune, for it is certain that Newark is
prominent manufacturing city, and that,
despite the efforts Of the republicans to
work the labor scare, the democrats carried
the election for the first time in n presi-
dental year in twenty years. In 1884 the
republicans carried it by 100 mai lrity.
Now the democrats have carried it by 700
majority. 1t is difficult to understand,
therefore, why the republicans should be
"gratifed.r
