C0iOred Society Notes.

The excursion train from St. Louis ar
rived on the 10Th inst. at AIS p. M.-thret
hours and half behind time. The tran
consisted of three passenger coaches and {
baggage car. There were only two hundred
and eighty of the eSoursionists, the majority
of whom were from st. Louis. They were
met by a special reception committee and a
large delegation of our enterprsihg hack
men. All who desired to ride to the park
did so, and the rest were directed to the
park by the committee; and soon all were
on the ground. After short rest few OF
them proceeded to partake OF the dinner
which had been provided by the committee.
After dinner, there was, owing to the fact
that the"shadows OF night were falling fast y
but a short time left for sightseeing and
amusement. Suffice 1t to say, the time was
we'll improved. The refreshment stands
were kept busy for an hour or so, and all
seemed to enjoy the fresh air and fruits of
the Arcadia Valley. About Z O'Clock the ez-
and the depot where they waited patiently
the coming Of the train at 10 O'Clock P. NJ.
About O'Clock p. NJ. the parties from Farm
ingtOn, Fredericktown and Caledonia left,
and the committee was thus left with more
or less stock on hand. After casting up az
counts it was found that $13.3 had been
taken in; that the expenses had been made /;
and that everybody, more CT less, had good
time. Prominent among the visitars were
ReVs. Jackson, Small and kennalley, Miss
Nelly RuGkner, Miss Allie Williams, and
Mrs. Hannah WILDER, OF ST. Louis. At a
recent official board meeting resolutions
were passed and special vote of thanks
was rendered to Mr., John Blemel for the

Inc Arcadia Valley X. X. Excursion

To St. Louis on Saturday and Sunday last
came off as advertised and proved very
satisfactory affair, indeed. Satisfactory"
t. the railroad company, Unsatisfactory" to
the patrons .Hsatisfa :tory" to the manager;
and, so far az we have been able TO learn, all
mankind, who were in any way interested
therein, ARE wholly satisfied with the manner
in which the occasion was managed and the
perfect arrangements carried out. The train
left Arcadia at s A. NJ, stopping at all in-
termediate points between the starting sta
ton and De Soto. By the time the last stop
was made the five coaches were comfortably
filled and tbs train then sped on its way
without hindranee or delay. reaching the
Uhouteau Avenue depot at II :Jc-the entire
run of eighty eight miles beng made in a
little less than three hours and a half-not
&c mention the stops. The crowd on board
was Il jolly che: little hilarious but most
assuredly Lot intoN iG4ted: perhaps slightly
noisy but certainly not disor0erly. fQr every
body was bent on having good time and
nothing was stuff cred to mar this determi-
nation in the least particular. When the
city was reached the crowd dispersed in all
directions and we are. OF course, not pre-
pared to speak so authoritailyoly OF the Be-
havior while 'in town." but, as everybody
"loomed up" at the Union Depot next even
ing in very fair shape, we f1atter ourselves
that our restraining influence eXerted on
tbs train had considerable weight with the
"boys" after tLey reached the city. About
eight O'Clock the start was nade or the re-
turn trip, which WAS accomplished in little
less than four hours, the train arriving in
the Valley some time before twelve. Man
ager SIeffens can certainly congratulate
himself on the marked success of his latest
undertaking In the excursion line.

RE-RATING OF PENSIONS.
What Commissioner Tanner Proposes to
do In the Matter.

The New York Suns Washington correspond
ent telegraphs an interview he has had
with Commissioner of Pensions Tanner concern
ing the re-rating of pensions Of less than "a
per month. The commissioner says he has di-
rected all pension agents to supply him with
list of all pensioners getting less than a per
month. After these lists have been received
the commissioner proposes to order all OF those
named on the lists before a medical board for
examination, and he (the commissioner says
he will be greatly surprised if the board rated
any old soldier that was entitled to be on the
pension list at anything less than "a.
II do not PROPOSE" said the commissioner,
by my own arbitrary act to increase these PEN
sions to "a, but if / did should be clearly
within the law. The authority Of the commits
sioner is enormous. presume that could by
my own act increase every pension that Is less
than IS to that sum, and could increase a
good many pensions that are of larger amounts.
There is a comparatively small number Of spe-
cifc injuries, the rate of pension for which is
fixed by Congress. but much the larger num-
Der Of the rates Of pension are fixed within GER
tain limits by the commissioner, and may be
changed by him at will"

AN ATTORNEY-GENERAL ANGRY.
The Lord Mayor Of Dublin Scores a
Point on Him in q Court-I DOM.

Mr. Sexton. member Of parliament and lord
mayor Of Dublin, appeared before the Parnell
commission yesterday. He admitted that he
had been asked to join the Fenian society, but
positively refused to divulge the name of the
person who asked him. Acknowledgement
Webster, counsel for the Times, pressed him
hard and persistently to give the name, and
became very angry and excited when he found
that he could not move the witness.
After a passionate scene between counsel
and witness the former finally abandoned the
attempt to compel Mr.. Sexton to reply, and be-
gan to question him in regard 20 Alexander
Sullivan. Mr.. Sexton said that he regarded
Mr.. Sullivan in the same favorable light as he
did when he eulogized him in a speech at the
land league meeting in Boston in 1884. He
declared he held Mr.. Sullivan in high estima-
ton on account of the unselish public services
he had rendered.
Acknowledgement Webster is credited with
an intention to claim before the commission
the right to extort from the Parnellite witness
ses any information which is not obtainable by
the usual methods. The Parnellites are deter
mined to resist any such effort. and if the at
torney-general persists they will probably leave
the court with their counsel.

THE LATROBE WRECK.
Probably from Twenty-Five to Thirty
People Killed.

1t now seems probable that from twenty five
to thirty people were killed in the railroad ac-
cident at Latrobe, Pa, of which an account
was given in The STAR yesterday.
The water in the creek at the point where
the accident occurred is about IL feet deep, and
it is expected that ten or twelve bodies are in
the bottom of the creek. John NJ. Miller,
flagman, states that the proper signal was given
when the position of the shifter was discovered,
and Engineer Caldwell answered, but the speed
was too high. When the Inflated train left
Bolivar about forty workmen boarded her, but
Conductor Barnhart put them off at Derry.
Four of the injured taken from one car stated
that eleven others were In the car, and in an
other box-car probably there were fifteen or
twenty men. One or two Of the bodies taken
from the wreck were terribly burned by the
lime which covered the wreck.
HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
1t seems that the Derry shifter had left
eighteen cars standing on the bridge while the
crew was drilling out loaded cars at the Latrobe
coal works. The fiagman. David Heacox of
the shifter had come to the telegraph tower,
but heavy rain was falling at the time. 1t is
not known whether the engineer on the fast
freight going west saw his signal or not In
any event the fireman was not back half far
enough, and had his signal been observed the
engineer could not possibly have stopped his
heavy train of forty cars on the down grade
in time to avoid the accident. The train, go
ing at speed of twenty-five miles an hour,
crashed into the cars on the bridge, tear
ing up the rails and ties, plunged over
the side Of the stone bridge, sheer
descent Of forty feet into the bed of
Loyalhanna creek. At the same moment an
eastbound freight was passing ON the other
track. One of the wrecked cars caught the car
next to the caboOse on this train, wrecking the
caboose and badly using mp the pushing engine.
Eighteen loaded and thirteen empty cars, to-
gether with engine 1913, are a total wreck.
The debris took fire at once, and although held
in check by the local fire department., burned
for several hours The loss of life cannot be
accurately estimated Aside from the train
men, it is known that there many men on the
westbound train who had been working at
Johnstown. Some of them had been put of,
but again boarded the train

One Who Has Been Fat Expresses Wo-

To the Editor Of THE EvKSrxs sraa:
In an editorial last Friday you commented
rather severely upon the death of a little In
diana girl who had committed suicide simply
because she was 'too fat" Putting aside your
supposition that the child in question possessed
an unusually morbid disposition. viii Won let
fellow-suferer say few word, in defense of
the poor little maid OF whom had never heard
until l read your article? say s'fellow-suf-
ferer," but I'm not fellow at all, in fact I'm
young lady now, but oh, the ranking bitter
ness OF my youthful and more eorpulent years,
was always fat-hopelessly, horribly fat No
stern self-denial in the way Of sweets; no over
indulgence IN pickles, vinegar, and like deIica-
cles ever made me anything else. Had il not
been that / felt, in q vague childish yay. that
It would be saerilegious, would
haye prayed, without ceasing, that
my too. too solid flesh" would melt thaw, or
anything else Just so got rid of it. II at night
1 perceived ghostly visitants in the Pickering
freight shadows and called timidly for COM
fort the answer would be- DO go to Sleep the
idea of such big fat girl being 80 imagine
tiveF' Ii in the morning soft, warm pillows
seemed preferable to breakfast the call WAS.
Get up, it's ridiculous for such fat girl to be
SO lazy. And so on adj nduse,un But the
home thrusts we're nothing 10 what eucoun-
tered outside. Strangers would cast critical
gisnces and remark calmly, Mice, stout child,
isn't it,! Friends % would greet me with.

sehool-ah, there my torture came inf sell
dom heard my own name-it was ALWAYS
Jumbo" Fatty" BABY Elephant" and what
ever other charming and appropriate nicknames
my witty comrades could concoct. Perhaps
they didn't know how il hurt me, and perhaps,
too, they don't know what a comfort-rio, what
deep, overwhelming ioy-it is to me now TO
look At their bony arms, scrawny necks, and
padded hips and then at the well-rounded form
into which my once despised flesh has devel-
oped- That sounds conceited, butt am q
woman and such revenge is sweet. Neverthe-
less, not all the happiness that my maturer
years may bring me can ever wholly cicatrize
my youthful wounds, and for the sake OF the
