Pennsylvania railroad bridge near Latrobe
with an extra freight train The
wrecked trains toppled over on another

have been recovered. Those of Engineer
Caldwell and George Fralich, fireman,
have not yet been found, but it is expected
that they will be reached before long. The
injured, so far as known, number eleven.
The water in the creek at the point
where the accident occurred is about
twelve feet deep, and it is expected that a
number of bodies will be found at the bot

Rev. N. Alley, of Phillips, Makes a Most
Remarkable Discovery.
What may prove to be the most important
invention or modern times, and one that
viii reyolutiOnizs the manufacturing in
dustrtes and, in fact all commerce. has
been invented at Phillips, Prizes County. by
Rev. NJ Alley. Mr.. Alley has studied thor
oughIy ant extensively for the past ten
years the subject of combustion, in the at
tempt TO invent an apparatus TO cause the
consumption of smoke in large furnaces
Not succeediI in that beyond certain
limit, he at last applied himself to the in
vention of a device to bring about the burn
ing Of water. which he has at last accom-
plished The apparatus consists Of a tank
for water, which would be the boiler of a
furnace pipe leading from the tank to
the fireplace into the burner The
burner is very simple, being only
piece of gas-pipe, varying in size
according to the intensity of the
fire used, and filed with scraps of iron
or coils of wire. This burner lies over the
fire, and steam passing through it is heated
10 such high temperature that when it
issues from the orihce in the pipe it is i'm
med1ately transformed into its component
gasses and burned, producing a heat many
times greater than that of coal The most
important part of the invention Is a valve
which allows the water TO enter the burner
in quantities only sufficient to its needs.
The fuel is diminished three-foUrUhs, and
the heat produced increased many fold
One OF these has been in use on a common
cook stove in Phillips for several months,
but not many outside that locality have
heard of it A few days ago its operations
were witnessed by Milwaukee capitalists
who were greatly excited about it. one
