largest ever known by about 10 per cent
Foreign trade for the month will certainly
prove much the largest ever known, and the

scarcely mention ofcomplaint or tardness.

A BLUNDER
HURLs FOUR SOULS TO ETERNITY.
Turning a Switch in the Path of a Fas.
Express Train.

Syracuse. y. Y, November 3.-An acci-
dent, most horrible in detail occurred on the
Delaware, Lackawana and Western Railroad
at Rock Cut, station about three miles
south Of this city, through the undue Off
ciousness Of boy telegraph operator by the
name of N. A. Clark. The accident
occurred at about $40 o'clock this afternoon,
and the blundcrng of the operator resulted
in the death Of four persons, the injury of
many others and the destruction of several
thousand dollars worth of the rolling stock.
The New York and Pacific day express,
due in Syracuse at $50 passed Rock Cut at
$40. 1t does not stop there, but passes the
station at the usual rate OF speed, which is
10 miles an hour.
Before the express was due at Rock Cut
two coal trains from Syracuse had arrived az
the station and had been run in on switch
on the north side Of the main track The en-
gine Oh the first train that went in on the
switch stood pretty well up toward the east
end of the side track. Engineer James
Doyle of Scranton Of the coal train was
in the cab Of his engine waiting for the ca
press to pass, when he would pull out
Michael Tierncy, a brakeman, was also In
the cab cleaning his lantern. The second
coal train was behind Doyles. and about 20
feet from the Caboose of the forward train.
Clark, the operator, was in his room in
the station, a few rods east Of the switch. lie
was on the lookout for the express. The
latter was on time and as the headlight of
its engine came into view il flashed through
Clark mind that the switch was open and
if it was not closed the express would dash
into the coal train. No sooner did the
thought enter his brain than he dashed out
of the door, rushed to the switch and swung
it over Then he realized, but too late his
mistake.
A. the switch was turned the express
swung onto the side track. and the crash of
the engines spoke the result. Like monsters
they ground cacn other to pieces The noise
If the collision was lost in the cries Of the
passengers within the coaches of the express
train. The fireman and engineer of each
engine were caught in the wreck and ground
tu death. Their names were:
JAMES DOYLE, Scranton, Pa.
Myrtle FERNAND, his fireman.
MICHAEL !. BURKE, Of Syracuse.
JEREMIAH LEE, his fireman.
The baggage and express car Of the passen-
ger train rolled over into the ditch ON the
north side Of the track. In the ear were W.
H. Coppcnall, Of Oswego; George Derby, of
Cortland. and Josiah Kimball of Oswcgo
All were more or less injured though not
tu11 al bul
hurt. All the passengers were badly shaken
up, though only one was injured seriously.
That one was Mrs. Julia Corcoran, Of Buff
falo, whose spine was hurt and two of her
ribs broken.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.


New York, 0ctobar 3O.-The deadly cigar
ette never emedmore poisonous than when
viewed in the light Of the latest story that is
going the rounds of the local tobacco trade.
IL is to the effect thai one Memm, a cigar
stub picker diel recently in one of the fo--
eign quarters of the city, leaving a fortune
varying, as the story runs, between $4,000
and $4,000.
III appears that Memm had ,mattering
OF practical chemistry in his head, which ho
applied TO his stubs, emulating the example
III modern chemical discoveries which make
wine without grapes, and pigs feet from
ciothes'pins. He inyea;ed a small oven, in
which were burned TIN accumulated stub
plckings Of several score Of boys. In the
process Of reducing the stubs TO ashes he
con.riyed to retain agreat quantity of the
gaSses and salts that ascape in
smoke, and the cremated material
mus became impregnated with
them. The stubs, reduced to ashes
were next ground to powder anu washed
To whitencss. The deposit he found acted
Ike magic on the enamel Of the teeth. dis
solving tarter and removing discolora,ions
in the twinkle Of an eye.
Having successfully demonstrated this dis
covery, Memm made a deal with well
known chemist, by whose agency the stuff
was pui up in elegantly scented boxes and
advertised far and wide, but the real magui-
tude of success was attained by n subsequent
process which savors more strongly of fact.
Certain Of the stubs turned in by his
army Of gathers were unrolled and
the burned edges clipped off.
The remnants Of leaves were then thorough
iy rinsed and stepped for day in strong
decoction of tea and scented herbs, whence
they were removed smelling sweet and aro-
matte. When dry, the leaves were cut into
fine scraps, and rolled into cigarettes, which
were alerward sold in the cafes Of the city
as the purest aud best of cigarettes. II is
not told how this ingeuiods fellow contriyed
10 escape the authorities, but that nforma.
ton is not necessary to the moral pointed
by the tale.
