Later Details,

That the collision was not attended by a
much greater loss Of life is surprising to any
one visiting the scene of the accident That
it was not more disastrous is due altogether
to the massive and solidly-built car of Presi-
dent Ledyard, of the Michigan Central
Road, which was at the rear end of the
first section and received the full force of
the shock.
The second section escaped with very little
injury. Not one OF the VeStlbule sleepers was
damaged dollars worth, and not a passen-
ger in them was injured. But the engine
was smashed beyond repair. The smoke
stack lay by the track the headlight was
gone, the steamchests and cylinders were
torn apart the pilot was knocked into kind
ling wood, the framework around the boiler
was ripped OPEN the cab was demolished,
and the driving rods were broken. The ten
der had gone clean through Boston and AL
bany baggage car whose roof and sides were
broken. The baggagemaster, Egbert Will
cox, of Syracuse, had a miraculous escape.
I was sound asleep when the collision oc-
Gurred, " he said ''and when awo1e found
myself sitting on top Of the tender with my
head touching the roef of my own car. The
Lord only knows how I got there"
Wilcox was cut about the body, and the
top Of his head was gashed open. He finally
crawled down and out through the door. He
then saw the fireman, John Slater, on the
roof OF the baggage car over the tender, and
helped him down. Slater was unable to tell
how 1t was he got up there, but it seems to
prove that he remained at his post. He him
self says he was firing, when he heard an ex-
clarnation from his engineer. who at the mo-
ment shut OF steam reversed his engine and
spilled the air brakes. The next thing Slater

FEARFUL EXPLOSIONS.
Men Killed and Injured in a Powder
Mill and a Foundry.

A terrible explosion has taken place at
Latin & Rand's powder works at Becksville,
Penn, resulting in the instant and horrible
death of three men and the injuring of six
others.
The conclusion of the explosion was felt
five miles away. Four buildings --ere ut
terly demolished and nearly all the glass III
the village was smashed.
The men who were killed were all literally
blown to atoms, and their remains had to be
gathered up in bags and baskets Portions
Of the limbs were hurled a hundred yards
away from the factory.
The glazing mill, corning mill, powder
house and another building belonging to the
factory were blown to atoms and portions of
the building were hurled 150 feet into the air
and parts OF the quivering remains of the UNI
fortunates came down in the shower of the
fragments that fell over an area of several
squares about the wreck and ruins.
The explosion is believed to have been
caused by a tack lying on the floor, which
communicated spark to the powder.
An explosion occurred at Carnegie's Edgar
Thomson Steel Works, at BraddocIl, Penn.
Captain w. K. Jones, general manager of
the immense steel works, and a number of
workmen were seriously and some fatally
burned. Furnace c, one of the largest of
the blast furnaces gave way at the bottom,
and in an instant flames shot forth, and the
hot metal exploded and fell like sheets of
water. Tons of the molten metal poured out
of the furnace, and that any person near the
furnace escaped instant death seems remark
able. Some of the men were SO severely
burned that their flesh peeled off with their
clothes.
Captain Jones is we'll known throughout
the United States and Europe wherever iron
and steel are manufactured 1t was he who
took 300 men to Johnstown at his own ex-
pense two days after the flood, and remained
there for a couple of weeks directing the
work Of rescue. He is sixty years of age.

THE MOTHERS LOVE.

There are some analogies threugh which
light upon this great question. For in-
stance, we may take mothers love for
her boy, as | said just now. When all the
world forsakes him. when all tile world
turns its back npon him, look how mother
sticks to her boy; and did you ever notice,
the worse the boy gets, the more mother
loves him, If the mother has got five
boys and four Of them are preachers and
the fifth drunken vagabond, you can go
in where that mother is and say just what
you please about those four preachers. but
when yon say one word against that poor
drunken John she will jump on you in a
minute and say: "You just shan't say one
word about my poor, unfortunate boy"
tell you that mother may not love John
more than she does the other boys; but,
listen, there is a greater strain upon moth
er's heart at that point. Everybody can
turn their backs upon him, may close their
doors against him. but mothers door stays
open. mothers heart hopes on. And fin
ally, when he comes To die, mother pill
lows his dying head in her lap, and when
her poor, wretched, doomed boy breathes
his last, she falls over on his lifeless corpse
and kisses and embraces her poor dead
boy. Then she follows him to the grave
and vets the sod with tears OF love and
sympathy. Above all mother still elings
to her boy.-.cdaa Jones'

They Will not come under its mighty sway?

And the dial to herald me-old King Time.
Softly creep like IA thief in the night,
After cheeks all blooming and eyes all light;
My steps are seen on the patriarch's brow,
In the deep-worn burrows and locks of snow.
Who laughs at my power-the young and the
gay,
But they dream not how closely track their
way:
W ait till their first bright sands have run,
And they will not smile at W hat Time has done.

/ lay the gorgeous palace in dust;
L make the shell-proof tower my own,
And break the battlement stone from stone.
Work on your cities and temples, proud man;
Build high as You may, and strong as you can;
But the marble shall crumble the pillar shall
fail,
And Time, Old Time, will be king after all.

now TO maKEaN EoLrAx HARP

Have any of our young friends ever seen
made by the Greeks many centuries ago
and hung among the trees or where the
wind could blow upon it, making 4 low,
soft, musical sound. The Baptist Weekly
tells how to make one, which is very cas-
lily done and inexpensive, foI most of the
material can be found about the house.
'Wax piece of buttonhole twist about
two and half feet long; tie each end
strongly to a small peg and thrust the
pegs down the creviee between the two
sashes of your southern or western win
dow, stretching the silk as tight as posi-
BILE. 1t will surprise you. the sweetness
and variety of the tones the wind will
bring from it. Having done this you may
be moved to 60 further and prepare more
elaborate golian harp.
Take one quarter-ineh wood and make a
box the length of your windew frame, four
inches deep and six or seven inches wide.
Bore few small holes in a circle near
what will be the upper side of the back OF
the box when placed in the window with
the open side Of the box, fasten two bridges
like violin bridges, one at each end and
stretch ON them several strings of fine
catgut, contriying a series of screw pins to
aid in the tight stretching necessary, and
allow of their being tuned to one note.
Then raise your sash on the windy side OF
the house, and the wind passing through
the hole and over the strings will in its
| rising and falling make very sweet mnsic.
