was causedby misplacedswitch, VIII ch threw
the passenger train into train of empty
sand cars standing on the sid, track. OI
striking the switch the engineer reversed his
engine and put on brakes, but as the train
was going at the rate of forty miles an hour
and the cars were but a few rods from the
switch. he was unable to avoid the crash.
The tram consisted of one baggage bar, two
coaches, two seepers and a chair car The

Houses to Steal Eatables.
Every winter the citizens of Lancaster
are annoyed by gangs of sneak thieves who
operate in different sections, and seem to
be bent upon finding something to eat that
they can carry of. These plunderers
have already begun their work, and OH
Monday night they operated largely in the
western part of the city. From the man
ner in which they did business they were
evidently very well acquainted with the
different premises upon which they entered
The robbers first went to the house of
John Musselman, who lives at 430 West
Chestnut street. The refrigerator was on
the porch, and as it was unlocked the
thieves helped themselves TO all the eatables
Il contained, carrying them of. They also
stole an icepick with which they operated
upon the refrigerator of Il. L. Steigerwalt,
who lives near Mr.. Musselman. II was
also on the porch but locked, and the
thieves broke IL open, taking five dozens
Of eggs, all the meat, sausage, milk, butter
and other things. Harry l.. Trout, another
resident of the neighborhood, keeps his re-
frigator in the kitchen but the thieves were
unable to open II after breaking into the
house. They used some kind of an instru-
ment and badly used ii up, but got nothing
for their pains. At the house of John Dc
Haven, at the corner of Chestnut and Mary
streets, they entered the cellar and stole
everything they could find that was suit
able for the inner man.
