The southbound passenger train on the
Butler branch Of the Western Pennsylvania road
which left Butler, Pa, ct ass O'Clock yesterday
afternoon jumped the track At sarver's station
and the entire train, consisting Of two pas
senger coaches and Q combination smoking and
baggage car went over an embankment and
was totally wrecked. Three persons were
killed outright and twenty Eve others injured,
q number of whom viii die. The rails we're on
stringers which had rottea with time. The
engine passes over the bridge safely, bat the
FIRST car was derailed and plunged down in the
abyss some thirty feet The rails ploughep
through the second car and the escapes we're
miraculous. The train was running with the
mail car next to the engine, and the baggage
car on the rear, - il the custom on the branch,
70 facilitate transfer at the junction for Pitts
burg:
This is the first serious railroad accident that
ever occurred in Butler county, and as this par
ncuiar train was loaded with Grand Army vet
Grams returning to their homes from the en-
campment near there much solicitude is ex-
pressed IN Butler over the disaster On either
side OF the wreck for q distance Of nearly q
quarter OF . mile injured veterans were lying
on cushions. and in some instances on the bare
ground. Women and children, wounded and
despatched with blood, sat and lay around the
pieces OF wreckage. The doctors and passen-
gers Of the market train at once set to work to
care for the injured Broken limbs we're set
and heads and arms bandaged
The railroad officials are severely censured
by all the passengers for allowing such negli-
gence. There being no telegraph Office nearer
than this point, seven miles away, il was fully
two hours before the alarm could be given and
doctors procured. the wounded meantime lying
where they crawled out of the wreck or had
been laid BY fellow passengers.

Harry 7. Rowley, . son Of General Rowley,
was one Of the ave who escaped being hurt by
being in the smoking car. He says the for
ward car broke in two. When he reached the
foot Of the bank he found his father and ex-
Mayor Lyon lying helpless side by side. Mr..
Powers was found Frustrated on the embank-
ment. He gasped twice and died. Mr.. Rowley
thinks that Mrs. Jones is fatally hurt. The
main artery in her neck and the wind pipe were
laid bare by the terrible cash in her chin. Mrs.
Duff died on the train between the scene of the
accident and Freeport
1t was almost two hours after the wreck oc-
Cured before assistance could be secured Mr..
Rowley says he examined the stringers upon
which the rails were spiked and found them
rotten.

THE GRAND ARMY REUNION,
A Proposition to Invite the Veterans &c
Assemble in This City,

To the Editor Of THE EVENING star:
Shall the Grand Army Of the Republic be in
vited to hold its next reunion in Washington?
The first question to be considered is. what
will 1t cost? The reunion in Portland, Me-,
cost the citizens $4,000 Other cities have
spent larger amounts, but it was because Of
their ample ability and grateful generosity,
and not necessity. careful estimate Of
every legitimate expense fooh up about
$4,000. Secondly, can this amount Do raised?
/ think 1t fair to assume that Congress would
pay one-half the expense or allow the District
government to contribute. believe the rail-
roads, steamboats, and leading hotels would be
glad to subscribe literally, and one Of our citi
gems mas agreed to be responsible for cas- 900,
anu ne perfectly able to pay it himself, il
necessary. The advantages to us Of such a
gathering can hardly be estimated, even from a
financial point Of view. There are usually
from NO,OO0 to 3OO, 900 soldiers, their families
ana friends at these gatherings, and they remain
about hve days. At Columbus, Ohio, it was esti-
mated there were fully SOC, 900 strangers pres
ent. The attendance at the national capital,
that many OF the old veterans have not seen for
twenty-five years, would be exceptionally large
but we will place it at 100 900 and estimate that
they would spend on an average $40 each.
Ihat would leave two millions with us, and
W.. .AAo ~ posuo ~ "oui0 give our exposition
project for 1892 should not be overlooked.
But there are higher, more patriotic and gen.
erous motives that should prompt us to invite
to our beautiful city those brave boys in blue,
whose valor and sacrifices saved it from de-
struction and made it one Of the proudest and
most beautiful capitals in the world. would
therefore suggest that q meeting of our bust
ness and publIc-spirited men be held in Grand
Army hall Tuesday evening, August 20, at
O'Clock, to canvass the question and instruct
our delegates. viii be responsible for the
expense OF the hall. j. d. CRoIssANT.

Tribune says: On being asked by reporter

Attorney Cockrum said: IAN the cases against

turn an indictment and the case before the
