Another Railroad Horror.

MAssILLoN, o., Dec, 20.-A terrible
disaster occurred at Bolivar, o., on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad yesterday
afternoon, only two of the IA occupants of
the rear car of the south bound mail train
escaping serions injury. The train, COM
posed of two coaches and baggage car,
was approaching Bolivar. About a mile
north of the town the front truck of the
last car left the track, just as the engine
started across a loug trestle 35 feet from
the ground. Almost before the fact that
anything was wrong could be known, the
locomotive was dashing across the bridge
and the rear car bounding along on the
ties. When fairly on the bridge it swung
around and toppled over, failing to the
ground bottom upward. The coupling
connecting this car with the remainder of
the train snapped like thread, and the
air brake, thus suddenly put on, sent tho
people in the following coach flying against
the seats. The scene in the ravine-the
car complete wreck, its trucks in the air
and flames bursting from the debris-is
described by those who saw it as some
thing frightful. Robert Cowan, a brake
man and one of the men who escaped I'M
injured, best realized the situation. After
crawling from his dangerous position he at
once gathered up loose snow and began to-
pile it about the stove. In this he was
soon assisted by w. +. Jingle, a travelling
man from GAINESVILLE, and between them
they smothered the flames.
The killed are: Unknown woman,
crushed beyond recognition; Miss Ada
Hall of Sherodsville o.; Henry Hill and
Carry, his sister, both of Shelby, H.,
burned to a crisp. The injured are: w.
G.. Graham of Norwalk, crushed and back
broken, will die; Charles Conrad, Massil-
ion, o., internally injured, probably fatally;
Conductor Fred Lands, seriously; Leon
ard Whitman of Marietta, leg broken; Mrs.
Louisa Piper of Stark county, o., intern
ally; Ira Cowan, Norwalk, badly bruised;
VIM. Gorlinger of Ada, o.; VIM. Hall of
Sherodsville, back injured.

Suicide at wayIand.

MAINLAND, Dec. 23.-Probably the citi-
Ierfs of our village were never so shocked
as on Sunday morning at the news of one
of our prominent citizens having committed
suicide by hanging. Appearances are that
Ghe deceased, Abram Osterhout, went to
bis shop and climbing upon a scaffold some
eight feet above the floor, placed one end
OF a rope around ioist above and the
ether about his neck. Then, grasping a
hand-ax, he struck himself upon the head,
crushing the skull. A few moments after
leaving the house his daughter Annie went
% the shop TO determine what he was
dbing, and found her fathers corpse. In
his pocket was found a note to his wife,
stating that he hoped they would not feel
badly at what he was about to do. IL is
Thought that his fear of being sent TO an
Insane asylum, caused his dependency,
leading TO his rash act. Both his wife and
daughter were SO overcome by the shock
that medical aid was necessary.

Sitting Bull,s Followers.

PIERRE, S. D., Dec. 1S.-Rev. Ashley,
the Episcopal rural dean among the Sioux
Indians, has arrived from Fort Bennett
Before leaving there he received, by
special courier, information that Sitting
Bulls men were on Moreau. He thinks
they have reached Cherry Greek by this
time and that it will be impossible for the
troops to prevent their joining Short
Bulls forces in the Bad Lands, unless they
conclude to make a stand with the dancers
at Cherry Creek, which he thinks is i'm
probable. His reports indicate that these
remnants of Sitting Bull would like TO sur
render, as they realize the impossibility Of
any Roadway against the troops, scouts,
etc. Many are on foot. Low Dog and
Big Foot, at Cherry Greek, have been say
ing all along that they would fight If the
soldiers interrupted them.
MIR. Ashley lately made a trip throug h
all the agencies and considers hostilities
with these ghost dancers inevitable. Short
Bull, he says, is the chief leader of the
orgies, and he believes he will make a
stand against the troops in the Bad Lands,
north of Pine Ridge agency. This seems
to have been recognized as general head
quarters for some time. Mr.. Ashley has
lived among these Sioux Indians constantly
for the past sixteen years.

A Sensational Execution.

SHERBRooKE, QUE, Dec. 20-Remi La
Montague, the murderer OF Napoleon
Michel, his brother-in-law, was hanged in
the Jail yard at 9.26 yesterday morning.
The tragedy was double one, for it invited
the death of Sheriff Webb as we'll. A few
minutes before nine o'clock the sheriff ar
rived at the jail and was admitted 10 Jailer
Reads private apartments. Ten minutes
later messengers were running for Dr. Aus
tin, but when he arrived the aged sheriff
was dead. Death was due 10 acute heart
failure, induced by excitement. 1t was a
gloomy crowd that filed out into the
yard where the gallows were erected and
this incident iessened the sympathy that
was felt for the murderer. Wednesday
night La Montague slept well and arose at
six o'clock next morning. Sisters st.
Charles and Bernard had watched with him
all night and in the morning assisted the
priests at the celebration of the mass. La
Montague joined in the services as a matter
of necessity, and appeared satisfied when
it was over. He then breakfasted lightly
and began preparing for the final event

week later his second wife proceeded
against him for bigamy and his arrest and
an investigation followed. The trial de-
veloped many sensational features, one of
the most intense being the testimony of
Days sister. She it was who guided the
detectives TO the recovery of the body,
which was found at the base of a cliff 100
feet high. She testified that she saw her
brother and his wife standing together on
the brink Of the cliff, and turning away
for moment looked again, and Day was
standing there alone. The sisters story
was confirmed by the finding of the body
on the rocks below the cliff. The arrest Of
Day, his sister and his second wife at once
followed and the trial of Day before Judge
Rose at Welland resulted in his being sem
fenced TO death. His sister was the princi-
pal witness against him.

DENVER, Dec. 23.-Louis Bremen, aged
50, died here Nov. ID from over indulgence
in malt liquors, and was buried Dec by
the Independent Order of Red Men. When
the body was placed in the hearse the
horses, used for that purpose for years,
became unruly and another team had to
be procured. Then one Of the horses Of "a
mourner, Henry Speck, would not so. A
runaway team crossed the funeral process
sion on the way to the Riverside cemetery
and collided with buggy containing two
of the friends of the deceased. Arriving
at tho cemetery the coffin was dropped
from the hearse by laundering attendants,
to the disgust of the mourners. AS the
coffin was being lowered into the grave
one of the ropes broke, and for moment
the people were Mortified by seeing the
coffin standing on end in the grave. Ac-
cordiug TO the burial services of the Red
Men it is provided for the liberation of u
dove from a small box placed on the coffin
just as the first handful Of dirt is
thrown into the grave. With
feeling akin TO superstitious terror, some
of the mourners saw tho dove hutter from
its cage and alight at the very edge of the
grave. 1t would not take wing until
frightened away by the men who piled the
dust over the narrow homo Of the supposed
deceased. The more superstitious began
TO ponder over the matter, and finally de-
cided to disinter the remains. This work
was done one week ago. and TO their I'M
speakable horror they discovered, as soon
as the lid Of the coffin box was raised, that
the coffin itself was split, and the glass in
the cover was broken, as il the dead had
come TO life, and in the unutterable agony
of a realization of his position had strug-
gled with the mad desperation of hopeless
ness and helplessness TO free himself from
the very grasp of death whose horrors
can be but feebly imagined by the living.
The coffin lid was raised, and the full hor-
ror burst upon them. The body was lying
on its face, the lining of the coffin had
been torn TO shreds, the hair was pulled
out of the head, the arms were bent and
the hands so tightly clinched that the
finger nails had been sunk into the flesh.
The face of the dead was distorted from
the awful struggle through which the man
had passed and the cheeks showed that
in his frenzy the man entombed alive had
dug his nails into his flesh.
