PHILADELPnIA, Aug. ia thrilling
accident occurred at Broad Street Station
at O'Clock yesterday afternoon, as the
w Western express, due at lbs was being
backed Into the depot
Tho train was sent flying without any
engine attached down track No 4, which
terminates directly behind the frame
building occupied by the station master
and train-dlspatchers. Tho train was an
unusually heavy one, comprising nine
cars. and upon reaching the end OF the
platform the handbrakes proved insuili-
Client to overcome tho momentum.
The end crashed into the abatement at
the end of the platform with such force
that the body of the car was torn from
lis trucks and sent flying over the inter
yening platform, distance of twenty
feet, crashing into the rear end of the
train-dispatcher's office and nearly
crushing the whole side Of the structure
in
The noise OF the crashing timbers and
the falling car startled the crowds OF
people in all parts of the station, and
there was rush Of people to tho spot.
A number of passengers Cn the train
were badly shaken up and frightened
nearly to death, but fortunately escape d
without injury. The train dispatchers at
work In the second story Of tho structure
were also considerably Jared and their
70 les raphic Instruments disnrranged, but
they also escaped Had the momentum
OF the car been little greater loss Of life
would undoubtedly have resulted,
force OF workmen Immediately set to
work, and intide OF half al hour the
wreck was cleared away and the track
again In use.

ungrateful smith.

James A. Smith, carpenter, who
since November IA, last, has been resid-
ing at No. 1901 Lincoln street with his
wife and seven children suddenly re-
moved with their household effects on
Sunday night by the light of full moon
and went to parts unknown, or in other
words, went "where the woodbine twin
eth, i" leaving rent and quite large nnm-
Der of bills unpaid.
Smith and his fsmily will be recol-
lected as the Florida refugee, who came
here last November from Jacksonville,
Florida, soon after the yellow fever had
subsided. When they came here Smith
had one dollar left and that he paid for
lodging at Water aud Market Streets
The next day the wife and seven children
spent the day in the ladies' waiting room
at the p, w. & b. depot, having no other
place to go to, while the husband went
out to hunt work
The railroad officials did all in their
power to make the family comfortable.
They were poor, ragged, destitute and
hungry. Smith being interviewed gave
history OF his suiIerings. He said IL
years ago he went from Flushing, Long
Island to South Jacksonville, Florida,
where he and an elder brother engaged
in building aud were successful. His
brother died from the yellow fever and
his four children, the oldest IA years and
the youngest IL months, were left with
him, tho children being motherles'. His
Oldest son was stricken with the yellow
fever and was only saved through the
greatest exertione. After his son recov-
cred he got clean bill of health took his
wife and his own and brothers children
and came North, the railroad authorities
furnishing passes to Jersey City, but
there accepting advice he came to Wilm-
ington to look for work. He exhibited
letters to show that he had been q Justice
Of the peace in South Jacksonville.
The case excited the greatest interest,
and help began 10 come. William r.
Seeds offered him house free of rent for
three months and work. Both were ac-
cepted. They removed into an empty
house with nothing to stock It, help
came from all quarters. Butchers,
bakers, grocers and furniture men all
contributed. Citizers took clothing for
the children. One sent q stove, another
bedetead, another q mattress, others
bed clOthihg, another chairs, another a
settee, and the house got pretty well
stocked. Joseph II. Gooding sent them
a ton OF coal, and afterwarl Smith bought
q ton from him aud has not paid him.
From several who gave in charity he
afterwards bought on credit and never
paid them.
Smith, however, soon got tired of work.
iBg for his benefactor, Mr. Seeds, and
leaving him set up for himself but no.
body seems to know of him contracting
for any buildings. People in the neigh
b rhood began to talk about him, an /
said he would not work If lie could avoid
1t. he still lived In his benefactor's house
and paid no rent. The three months'
free rent were up the 18th OF February,
and Mr.. Seeds began to think that as
Smith had lett him he was under no more
obligations to him, and he thought he
might as well have some rent, but Smith
eVaded 1t by skipping. 1t is supposed he
has gone to Chester.

An English cyclist gives these rules for
rational enjoyment OF the bicycle. The
minute you feel that you have got a head,
or that you are tired, or that you have a
heart, or that the road is dusty, or that
your legs are heavy or that there Is a head
wind blowing, get of and stop. If you do
not feel all right after an hour or two's
rest--though you very likely will-stay
in the nearest village ali night, or for two
nights If you want. Or put your machine
on train, or tie it on behind trap, and
get towed to your destination. So long
as you do not overtax yourself, and you
ought to have tho sense to know when
you do, 30 long as you do not tie yourself
down to any particular distance, or ride
every hill, or try to race every trap that
comes along, care not what your age,
sex, or physical condition, cycling onght

Hale and Hearty In Old Age.

What is more beautiful than an an
cient tree clothed with an ample robe OF
yerdure. Apt is the comparison between
such growth and an old man or woman
infused with health and vigor. The sine
qua non, the indisper sable condition of
vigorous youth, robust manhood and a
vlrile old age, is sound digestion. With
out this life is shorn II the hearty zest
that should attend 1t. No more bene-
tcent and agreeable contributor TO the ct.
tainment OF hale old age, and efficient
means of counteractiug the intirnities
that too often attend liie's decline, Can
be found than Hostetter's Stomach bit
ters. Dyspeptic synytons, a tendency to
kidney complaint, nervous inquietude
and rheumatic trouble are overcome by
its use. The effect Of exposure and over.
work are nullfled by 1t, and 1t affords
efficient protection to all subjected to
malarial influences. Give 1t a thorough
trial.
