Re Risks Ills Life to Save Two Hundred
 Passengers. .
 HACKENsACK, N. J., Sept. 27.-The Haverstraw express over the New Jer- sey and New York Railroad that leaves Jersey City at 6:05 p. m. was wrecked at Lodi Junction last night. A trainman of the branch of the Now York, Susque- hanne and Western Railroad ran three cars loaded with oil of vitrol on sid- ing and left the switch open. Tho ex- press, running forty miles an hour, was turned off tho main track and ran into the freight cars, tefesooping the first one. The engine went through 1t and pushed the wrecked cars along the sw1toh and over 500 feet of the main track.
 Engineer Theodore Sherman never left his post, but reversed his engine at the risk of his life to save the 900 pas sengers. Fireman Wm. Young jumped and will probably loose his life. He is horribly mangled and badly burned by the vitrol that was scattered in a shower in every direction. He is in the Hack ensack Hospital in dying condition. Not passenger was hurt.

Carnegie's Edgar Thompson Steel Works
 at Braddock, Pa., the Scene of tho Acci-
 dent-C Captain Jones' tho Manager of the
 Works, Badly Burned-The Excitement
 at Braddock Intense-The Injured Men
 Taken to 2 Pietsburs Hospital.
 P1TTsBvRe, Pa, Sept 27.-Furnace "C," of the Edgar Thompson Steel Works at Braddock was not working satisfactorily yesterday, and at7 o'clock last evening W. R. Jones, manager of the steel works, together with six of his men, went to work to remedy the trouble.
 It was discovered that hard crust of einder had formed inside of the furnace. An orifce, fifteen inches in diameter, was made through the side of the fur mace stack, which is 80 feet high and 20 in diameter. Through this hole a heavy iron bar was used to break the cinder crust.
 In an instant the crust gave way and perfect river of molten iron and binder gushed through the aperature, literally covering Capt. Jones and his workmen in sea of flame and hurling them in all directions. Capt, Jones was picked up from the sand pit fully forty feet from the stack. The others were lifted about the same distance in other direo- tions. A Hungarian who was in the party has not yet been found. The fatally burned arc as follows : Mike Quinn, foreman; Harry Cornell, | Patrick Burns and John Nee. Capt. Jones Is terribly burned and his phy- sicians are apprehensive but have some hopes.
 The scenes immediately following the accident are almost beyond description, | the immense staokhouse oveFfowing with the seething liquid. The injured were brought to the hos pital here. The damage to the furnace l is not great.
 The 5,ooo men at the Edgar Thompson Steel Works and hundreds of people in Braddock are frantic with grief on ac- count of the injuries which Capt. Jones has received. He was well known in the United States and Europe, wherever iron and steel arc manufactured. It was he who took 300 men to Johnstown at his own expense couple of days after the flood and remained there for weeks directing the work of rescue. He Is about 60 years old.

An Old PennsyIvanian Shot by His Nephew
 in Minnesota.
 ALLENTOWN, Pa, .,Sept.s7.-Despatches from Minnesota say that Jacob Schrei- Der, son of John l.. Schreiber, one of the commissioners of Lehigh County, in this State, shot and killed his uncle, Franklin J. Schreiber, at Morehead, Minnesota. The murderer is young man, about 25 years of age, who ran away from home several years ago, and when next heard from was in the regu- lar army. His unole, the victim, was until ten years ago a resident of Lehigh County, and had 4,oo0-acre farm at Moorehead.
 The Schreiber family Is one of the oldest and most widely known in Le- high County. The presumption among relatives of the family here is that young Sohreiber deserted and lived with his uncle, and that in some dispute he killed him.

in conservative advances. ard
often in makeshist ways.
Change of seed is sometimes
resorted to as an aid. under the
belief that the sorts grown have
deteriorated. Z am not infre-
queHtly asked to furnish seed to
parties affirming that theirs had
run out. l always look upon it
as a probable indication that
the farmer has in a measure
run out. or in other words, il is
almost a sure indication of poor
farming. Our land naturally,
as statistics show, becomes eX-
hausted and the crop gradually
becomes reduced in yield. This
is often mistaken for the run
ming out of wheat. The fall
wheat the first three years that
l grew it in Missouri yielded
l6 1-3 bushels per acre, ana for
the next three years 80 bushels
per acre. This change was not
in the season but in the method
of farming, the crop advance
being a continuous one. A
complete reorganization of the
system found in vogue alone
lifted the level up.-American
