near LatrObe. Pennsylvania, forty
miles east of this city on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad about 2:3O- O'Clock this
morning. Thirty cars were wrecked
and seven persons killed. four of them
unknown tramDs. At the hour named
freight train No. 30S west bound left
Latrobe. and had just reached the
bridge about fifty yards west of that
place when it couided with an extra
freight train, No 1913, coming in the
opposite direction. Another east
bound freight was standing on a side
track on the bridge and the wrecked
trains crashed against it causing
one locomotive and number
of cars to go over the embankment
into the creek, distance of fifty feet.
Engineer Caldwell and his fireman
were supposed to have been killed in
Stantly. Their bodies are still in the
creek. Brakeman Miller was terribly

fruit be canned without sugar and thai
the necessary sweetening be done when
the fruit is used. He suggests that
sugar is always lower in the winter and
advantage can be taken of the fact.
His theory is that sugar does not pre-

all that is necessary.

Freight and Passenger DePOIa-Thc
Reported Kansas City Purchase.
Receivers III. G. Cross and George A.
Eddy, of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railway have lust been author
lied by Judge DaYid j. Brewer. of the
United States court, to purchase or
lease five hundred coal cars to be ready
for use in the fall. By adding this
number of cars to its rolling stock, the
company will not be compelled to pay
mileage on foreign cars as it has done
in the past. The cars will cost from
$3.50 to 1875 each. Judge Brewer di-
reefs the receivers to pay in cash for
the cars provided there is money in the
treasury. The court on March 30th
directed the receivers, at their request
to build passenger depot at Dallas
Texas, at a cost of s12 900; a freight
depot at Dallas, to cost SIS, 600. and a
passenger depot at Fort Scott, Kansas,
costing $4,000. It has been ascer-
tanned that the buildings could not be
constructed on the plans submitted TO
the court, for those sums, and Judge
Brewer has just authorized them to ex-
pend 81 800 additional on the Dallas
passenger depot, $1,000 additional on
the freight depot and 81, eco additional
on the Fort Scott depot. The reported
purchase of large amount of real es-
tate for terminal facilities by the NJ.
K. & T. at Kansas City, is not credited
by the court officials as no authority
to the receivers to make such a pur-
chase, has been fled here by Judge
Brewer.

Valley, gorge, raVine, in turn,
Now wide, now narrow, mild or stern,
Its lofty sides and river between,
Winding and changing until they seem
Uncertain whether to reach the plain
Or turn to the mountain range again:
Here giving space for town or fields,
There room for roadway barely yields;
Thus winds the valley until its sides
Merge into the broader vale, where glides
The ripping stream, in whose rock bed
Stony creek and COnemaugh river are wed
And where in its pride, from creek to river,
Stood the city, built to last forever.
