A Terrible Accident.


PITTsBURG, June ga triple collision
of freight trains occurred near Latrobe.
ON the Penn sylvania railroad this morn
ing. Thirty ears were wrecked and
seven persons killed, four Of whom were
unknown tramps.
At the regular hour the west bound
freight train left Latrohe, and had just
reached the bridge, fifty yards west,
when it collided with an extra freight
coming in an opposite direction. Another
east bound freight was standing on she
side track on the bridge, and the
wrecked trains crashed into it, causing
@ue locomotive and number of cars to
20 over an EN- bankment into the creek
a distance Of fifty feet.
Engineer Caldwell and his fireman
were killed instantly. The bodies are
still in the creek. Brakeman Miller
was terribly crushed and will die. The
bodies Of four tramps were taken from
The wreck
The loss to the company will be very
heavy.
A dispatch from Greenburg, ten miles
from Latrobe, states that a party of
6hirty-fiVe workmen from Johnstown
stealing their way home, were on the
train when the accident occurred. The
wreck caught fire from lime bed and
flle men were cremated.
James Flanagan and companion
whose name could not be learned were
brought from the wreck to this city this
afternoon. Flanagan was returning
Johnstown laborer, and he says twelve
persons were on the car with him. He
could not say whether they escaped or
not. Flanagan is seriously bruised.
His companion is unconscious and is
Thought to be fatally hurt.
ESTIMATE OF THE NUMBER KILLED.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from Greensburg, Pa. The
wreck at Latrobe this morning was
thrilling in the extreme. Probably
from thirty five to forty lives were lost.
Only four or five bodies have been taken
from the wreck. They were unknown
Engineer Caldwell and his fireman are
sssH9 nRder the wreck, and the chances
are the bodies will not be rescued today.
Thirty-one cars went down and are piled
one upon the other.
The conduct or OF the freight states
chat in all probability, thirty or forty
Xnen are still under the wreck. as he put
off at Dry sta tion about forty-fve men
=e-.ing from Johnstown. When he
moved out great many got on again.
A car load of lime in the center of the
train was the last to go down, and was
scattered over a pile of shattered cars.
then the debris took fire, and is still
burning. The arms and legs of the VIC
tims can be seen protruding from the
debris No member of the crew re-
mains to tell of those who went down.

CHAPTER VII.
A MIDNIGHT WEDDING.

BardOlph Dimsey stole softly across the
park, and entered the wood that was on its
borders. Here for few moments he paus-
ed, to dwell, loyer-like, ON the rapturous
prospect before him.
He had as good as won the woman he
adored, and who but few days before had
stood so high above him that to look at her
was an act of audacity, andto SPEAK to ner
to court punishment.
His nature was strong and sensual. The
animal was predominant in him. Despite
his boasted blood he had none Of the finer
instincts that belonged to cultivated life
He knew no pleasure like qualification Of
his passions, and never troubled himself
how success was obtained.
Repentance for the crime he had been
guilty of never so much as dawned in his
heart. The germ Of sorrow was not there,
and could never be developed. The only
thought that troubled him on that score, and
troubled him very little, was in torment,
he was as one intoxicated, and when he
reached the gipsy encampment Bluebell
Dell, he reeled like one who had been drink
ing.
Around fire were seated about dozen
men, women, and children, whom he pass
ed by without a word, and threw himself
down at the entrance of a low tent under
which sat the old woman, Hecate, appar-
emily asleep.
Mother" he said breathlessly.
"Ah, is that my bonnie boy? said the old
woman, opening her eyes, ''Well. what
news-what news?"
81 have won her." he answered hoarsely;
1--WE are to be married here tomorrow
night"
80, my bonnie boy-ah, she isbeautlful,"
murmured the old woman"
''She is rare gem of a woman" he said;
''Pd rather live with her week, than pass
lifetime with any other woman l know"
'You have made your choice" said He
cate, holding up trembling finger, so did
your mother before YOU"
what do you mean? What has my moth
or to do with it?" he asked.
Evil came Of her union with the house
| dweller," answered the old hag.
THAT'S all nonsense: evil comes any
way" he said. 'Pll take her and risk i"
"She will not dwell with us"
mo matter"
''Did you ask her?''
II did," he replied with the lie ready to
his lips Il begged of her to think Of the
| love You bore me-"
THAT was right, my bonnie boy"
"But she would not. For year we shall
live away, and then in some other spot far
away we will come to you.''
"a year is long time, Bardolph. l am
getting old"
You will live for many years" he urged
"andyOu must spare me for year. to make
my life happy one. My wife will bring
beauty and money among our people,"
mo good ever came of mixing the blood, "
said Hecate, rocking herself to and fro.
why could you not fall in love with one
OF our own girls? they are bright and bonnie,
they are brave at telling fortunes, they have
ready fingers, and you need not work and
would never want"
Mother" he said. 81 have chosen; lei
| things be as they are"
"Well, it shall be So" she said. ''To-mor.
row night, you say?"
AYE that is the time; and rs soon as the
wedding is over you must strike your tents
! and move on"

meets Basil he will shoot him like dog.

A NEW FEATURE THERE.
Hanging TO be Introduced I'm One Section
of Tennessee.

kAuhStut 10 oe 1ntrOuuceo IN One SeCHou
of Tennessee.
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, October 26.-The
Supreme Court to-day decided case unpre-
cedented in the history of Tennessee.
Last January Henly Sutton, prom
inent stock buyer of Hancock coun-
ty, was fired upon by men in ambush
and killed. Suspicion pointed to five men,
John, Anderson, John H., Elisha and Gin
ton Barnard. They were closely related to
each other and family feud had long
reigned between them and the Suttons. The
Barnards were arrested and tried in the
Circuit Court OF Hancock on the same in
dictment, convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. An appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court and that body confirmed the
sentence of the lower court. They will be
hanged on December %.
1t is remarkable case in several particu-
lars, and the first on record where five men
were tried for murder on the same indict-
ment and convicted. At the same term of
the lower court, six men were sentenced to
be hanged and several sent to the peniten-
tiary for long terms for homicide. The first
sentence to hang ever given in the county
was given at that term. Hancock county,
which adjoins Kentucky, has been long
noted for bloody feuds and fatal shooting
afrays, but the decision to-day, it is thought,
will start a new order of things in the noun
tains.

Recovered Through the Confessional, But
the Owner Not Satisfied.
ST. LOUIS, October 26.-Mrs. M. K.
Hyde, of S14 North Seventeenth street,
tells an interesting story of the recovery OF
a certificate of deposit of s., 900 through the
confessional. Mrs. Hyde's husband is in the
coal business. They always kept considerable
money in a trunk in third-story room.
About two months ago Mrs. Hyde locked
in the trunk 5000 In crisp paper money and
a Bank of Commerce certificate of deposit
for $1,000. The next day the cash and cer-
tifcate were gone. though the trunk was
still locked. The police were informed, but
they did not succeed in getting any trace of
the thief
4 few days ago Mrs. Hyde received a
note telling her to call on Rev. Father P.
P. Brady, vicar general of this diocese.
She did so. and Father Brady told her she
would have the certificate of deposit re-
turned and possibly the money. Calling a
second time by request she received the GER
tifcate, but not the money. Father Brady,
however, would give no information as to
how he got the paper. Mrs. Hyde does not
propose to let to let the case drop, however,
but will make every effort to find the thief
and force the return of the 5000. She put
the matter in the hands of detectives TO-
day.

ESPECIAL rELEaRAx TO TIE nIsrArcH.,
NEW YORK, October 26.-A circular
sent to all the stockholders Of the Fifth
Ayenue Transportation Company. Limited,
the legal title of the Fifth Avenue Stage
Line, by Secretary William Irwin, of the
company, attracted attention to-
day. Mr.. Irwin starts the
document with the announcement
that the preamble and resolutions contained
In the circular were adopted at meeting
OF the Board of Directors of the company,
held on October 18. The circular
then proceeds to relate the reasons
for calling for an assessment of 95 per cent
on the par value OF the stock The stock
holders who received the circular were very
indignant at the proposed assessment. The
par value of the shares is $25.
ALI of these stockholders held an in
formal meeting in Barnes Brothers Office,
this afternoon, for the purpose of arrang-
ing to resist the payment Of the assessment,
and to fight it out with Colonel Elliott
+. Shepard at the annual meeting of the
directors, to be held November 10. All
these stockholders openly assert that the
present condition of the company was due
entirely to the mismanagement of Colonel
Shepard, and to his desire so to depress the
value of the shares as to be able to secure
permanent control Of the company. They
were equally positive that Colonel Shepard
had been working on this plan for several
months

TREY CAN BE MADE SAFE.
Electric Overhead Wires Not Necessarily ms

u
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPkrcHl
NEW YORK, October 26.-The Executive
Committee of the National Electric Light
Association, or majority of them, rose
from a protracted special meeting at the
Electric Club this afternoon. In fact,
they had been at it pretty nearly all night.
The meeting was called to con ider the over
head wire problem. Allan G. CARAT, the
Secretary aud Treasurer of the association,
made public later in the day, the result
achieved. The meeting unanimously passed
resolutions declaring
That currents both direct and alternating,
of the intensity or electromotive force now in
use in this and other cities of the country, are
absolutely necessary for the successful and eco-
nomical distribution of electricity for arc and
incandescent lighting and power purposes; and
sure or electromorive force of the currents now
in use would SO increase the cost of
electric light and power as to put
them out OF the reach of many of their
present consumers, and greatly cripple the
electric light and power industries in which
many hundreds of millions of dollars have
been invested, and which has become public
necessity
Also, that the accidents which have recently
occurred in this city have been due to faulty
construction and defective insulation coupled
with restrictive legislation and divided
responsibility which for wears have pre-
vented such comprehensive repairs and
reconstruction as would have insured safety
and good service; and that overhead wires
the tensity now in use, can be so insulated as
to be safe.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPATcH.l
RICHMOND, VA, October 26.-The active
interference of Quay in the pending cleo
tion is having an effect the opposite Of what
was looked for by Malone. 1t has, next to
the question of Mahoneism, done
more to rally the Democrats than
anything sprung in the canvass.
Virginians have always been sensitive
about outside interference with their local
affairs, and more than one contest has been
won on this issue. Of the Malone can
vassers now stumping the State the Demo-
Gratis have made list which gives the fol-
lowing showing:
Judge Perkins, of Kansas; ex-senator
Bruce (negro), of Mississippi; Senator
Blair, of New Hampshire; Judge Wheeler,
OF New Jersey: Congressman Butterworth,
OF Ohio; Houk, of Tennessee; Burrows, of
Michigan, and Brumm, of Pennsylvania;
ex-Congressmen j. B. Cheadle, of Indiana;
W. c. Plummer.of Dakota; E. c. Caring
ton, of Washington; John Barbriere, of
Pennsylvania; John c. Dancy, OF North
Carolina; Pat O'Farrell, of Washington; 7.
d. Miller (negro), of South Carolina, and
W. f. Giddings, Of Ohio.
The other names on the list are United
States Office holders who were appointed by
Harrison as follows: Richard r. Farr,
United States Marshal; j. c. Watts, United
States Marshal; Pat McCaull, United States
Revenue Collector; W. E. Craig, United
States District Attorney. and S.
Brown Allen, United States Deputy
Collector. AS circulars containing these
statistics have been within the past few days
scattered through the State, they have
caused general upheaval.

A H0RSE-THlEF WITNESS.
Sensational Testimony Materially Injured by
the Witness Bad Record.

the Witness Bad Record.
WILLIAMsPoRT. October 26.-In the
judgeship contest the contestants placed
upon the stand Boyd Richard, Morel and
township voter, who had been previ-
ously called by the respondent. The wit
ness stated that he could not read or write,
but he believed that he had paid the neces-
sary tax to entitle him to vote at
the election in 1888, as he had
shown his receipt to two friends, who in
formed him that he was all right. The wit
ness stated that after he had been
examined on the part of the re-
spondent he had gone to Judge Metzger,
and informed that official that his tax
had been paid, which would legalize his
vote. Upon being questioned further the
witness said that Judge Metzger told him
that he had better not testify to anything of
that kind, as he might get himself into
trouble, as he (Metzger) didn't intend to
lose the case. This testimony created some
thing of a sensation.
Counsel for the respondent then took
charge of the witness for rcross-examination,
first introducing the court records to prove
that the witness had been held for horse
stealing, and that he only escaped punish
ment by forfeiting his bail. The witness
admitted this fact and was permitted 10 de-
part. The object of the cross-examination
was to show the unsavory record of the wit
ness and attack the truth of his statement
Witnesses may be called to prove that his
reputation for veracity is bad.
