falling almost continually for twenty-four
hours, swelling the mountain streams.
Several trains had passed over the road
and it was thought the line was safe, not
withstanding the rains. At the place of
the accident. however, there had been
washout about eighty feet long and fifty
feet wide. The water was ten feet deep.
Into it the engine made a fearful leap
while running thirty miles an hour, carry
ing with it the tender and eight cars. As
the engine struck bottom the rushing of
the water into the locomotive exploded the
boiler. The debris was thrown in every
direction, scattering frebrands, which
ignited the wood work of the coaches.
The flames destroyed large amount of
mail and express matter, besides spreading
panic among the already terror stricken
passengers. 1t is supposed some Of the
passengers were consumed in the flames.
The most reliable estimates place the num-
Der OF killed at thirty. The number of
wounded will be far in excess of the killed.
Another Cave-ln at Wiltesbarre.
AS Conrad shafer, plasterer, was eat
ing his breakfast at Wilkesbame, Penn,
the other day, he heard great clatter ac-
companied by ru,nbling that shook the
house from top to bottom. He fastened
to the cellar and there discovered that
over half the bottom had fallen out. taking
with 1T the stone foundation and the gar
den plot in front of his house, together
with all his household supplies. Upon
examination the hole was found to be
twenty-five feet deep, Mr.. Shafer and his
son at once procured a step ladder, placed
1t in the cave and descended. They found
that it was a chamber of the Henry colliery
operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany. which had been worked out.
Further Investigation showed that the coal
and slate had been mined to within ten
feet of the bot ON Of Skaters cellar.

Of the policemen on beat. Evelyn Hardc0s-

she had closed her eyes and had dreamed a

her. They sought to clutch her and tear her

of q man with q dagger In his hand. His
faco was dark, but his eyes were like Goals of

some incarnation over her.
She could neither move nor cry out. All

Nearer came the man, and then he raised his
dagger, formed like Q serpent with pale,

Down it came. and q pain like the thrust Of
a red-hot iron smote her in the region Of the
heart.
She awoke with q start, bathed in perspira-

"Row horrible! How horrible !" she said,
looking tremblingly around the room.
She was not q superstitious girl, but the
circumstance seriously Impressed her.

The Sixth District Agricultural Asso-

programme for the races in October.
There will be twelve running races and
seven trots, for which liberal purses will
be offered.
A new departure has been made which
the racing men all agree ought to have
been made long ago, namely: that there
shall be no entry money charged for
purse races, and only in the case of stake
races shall entry money be exscted.
Hitherto the entry money has been 10
per cent. of the purse.
Among the trote will be stallion race
for the 2 20 class, for $2,000; a race for
the 2 20 class, for 81 ,500a and another for
the same amount for the 2 20 class. Be-
sides these, there will be some local

Williams, Lambs.

As an evidence of the foolishness Of
some of "bloods" of this city, leading
haberdasher told a HERALD man yester-
day that when Williams was in the
zenith of his glory here, orders were re-
ceived over the counter for a dozen silk
scarfs from twelve of the leading young
men of the town. They were evidently
going to ape Williams style, but their
prospective glory disappeared behind a
very big cloud, for, on the very day that
the orders were delivered, Williams was
arrested. 1t is needless to say that silk
scarfs instead of suspenders at once went
out of fashion.
