In spite of his fawning upon kerna-
chan. Gibbs and other well-known
Republican politicians of that ilk,
Col. Frantzy has been kicked out OF
the Brandon postofliee to make room
for n Republican of the simon pure
sort. And thus it has come to. pass
that none are SO poor as to do Col.
Ananias reverence. Even the Repub-
licans, whom he tries to catch with
soft soap, have a contempt for him.

THE ENGINEER WAS ASLEEP,
And His Train Ran Into One Ahead, Caus-
ing a Disastrous Wreck.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
HARRISBURG, November ia very
disastrous freight wreck occurred on the
Northern Central road, at Middleton Ferry,
between and o'clock this morning.
Emile Lashey, brakeman, was killed, and
Engineer Appello and his fireman were
badly injured. All the men live at Balti-
more. Two sections of the Empire line
which left Baltimore last evening about
o'clock, loaded with perishahle goods, COL
ided, and about 80 cars and an engine
were smashed. The wreck caught fire
and five cars were burned. Lashey
was caught in the telescope and
fell under the ruins The freight of the en-
tire two trains, which was consigned to
dealers in New York State, will probably
be lost. The road is blocked and the wreck
age cannot be cleared before Tuesday morn
ing. Trains are getting through on the
Pennsylvania road via Columbia.
The first section stopped on account Of an
accident to its engine. The fsgman went
behind, but the engineer of the secondNtrain
is said to have been asleep and did not see
his signal. His train was running at the
rate of 80 miles an hour when it struck the
train ahead. Several of the crew on the
first train jumped from the caboose in time
to escape injury. The loss will be many
thousand dollars to the company.

"You are, believe, sweeper of chin
news, Mr.. Gillespie?" observed the news
paper person.
''Hoots, mon. am that" " replied Mr. G..
with a touch of the old Lallan tongue, 'and
sac hae been, for 40 years and msir."
- THE SWEEPER AND THE SWEPT.
"Any relation, Mr.. Gillespie, by mar
riage or birth, of james Gillespie Blaine?"
queried the writer.
The old man pondered awhile. Then he
asked, "Where did he sweep?''
"He didn't sweep" the writer replied;
che got swept himself, poor fellowl You are
not an American, believe, Mr.. Gillespie?'
"How did ye ken that without speering?'
asked the sweeper. ''Well, ye're right
enough, onyway. come frae Stranraer, in
Wigtonshire, and the guidwife yOnder she
comes frae Ballinahinch, on the Irish coast
We've been 19 year in America, a'the-
gither."
'How is trade, Mr.. Gillespie?"
The old man shook his head sadly.
"Trade's flown ava frae Pittsburg the
moo, he said, "we never had work since
the gas came"
"You don't like the gas, then?"
"Weel, the Beuk says we maun love our

"But the BARNS are their ain masters the
moo; an Government sees that naebody
makes them work till they've ruined their
health an hurt their eyes over useless
beuks that don't tell 'em the differ betwixt
a clean sweep an dirty one"
"And is there any differenee?" asked the
ignorant inquisitive person.
'Troth there is, /" Mr.. Gillespie answered.
"Naebody but an experienced sweep can
avoid maxim mess on the hearth. The
awkward mon always dirties the whole

things-the right way and the wrang way.

lespie was sent for from Indiana county,
and he sojourned for two weeks in that
neighborhood, cleaning chimneys by the
dozen. But this is a stroke of luck which
seldom occurs.
AN oDDITY AND THE BOYS.
There is much more chimney-sweeping
done in Allegheny than in this sister city.
Why this is so, Mr.. Gillespie is not able to
say. In proportion to its size, Allegheny
uses as much natural gas as Pittsburg, and
yet it is able to support two more chimney
sweepers than the transportive Babylon.
do you ever clean the long factory
chimneys?" asked the writer.
"Hech, sirsl" cried the old sweeper;
'"twould be Draw cleanin' they'd need.
Why, mon, ye see these lang chimneys
sweep themsel's. The force o. the fire is
enoo to keep the dirt AVA"
SIS it true that sweepers send little boys
up the hues where their brushes can It reach?'
mot now, ye ken. The Government
Wilma let them do t. But over i tn
auld country they send the boys up
still. In my young days we used to
go up the highest chimnevs. hangin'
on, as best we could, VII nails an
