AT HORSE-SHO BEND.

Plunge of a Train Over an Embankment
of the Mount Penn {Pa.) Gravity Road
-Four Killed AMI Several Injured, Some
Fatally.
New YORK, Aug. IA dispatch from
Reading, Pa. says: A train on the
Mount Penn Gravity railroad went over
an embankment at eleven o'clock this
morning killing five outright and
injuring several others. The &C.
cident occurred at the Horse Shoe
Bend, the second grove from the
city, while the train was coming
down by gravity. Four persons were
killed: Charles Bettew. conductor,
aged thirty-fve; Edgar M. Levan, law
yer, aged forty; Miss Rosa Heiffer. aged
thirty-two, all of Read ing, and Miss
Harriet Hinckle. aged thirty-two, of
Philadelphia
Five persons were fatally and as many
seriously injured, while large number
of others were severely hurt.
The grade to the summit is very
heavy and the descent of the cars is
always rapid. There is ravine at the
place of starting, and just before this
is reached on the down grade there is a
sharp curve. At this point the accident
occurred, the men losing control of the
cars. Superintendent DeChart, gives
as the cause of the accident the refusal
of the brake to work properly. It is a
new brake and was being experimental
with. 1t is miraculous that a single
passenger escaped, as the car was
smashed to pieces. A thorough inves-
tigation will be commenced to-day by
the coroner.

prising the returns from all but 2,ooo

the country was divided. The total
population counted is 62,c96, $50, but II

100000. The latter figure may De
taken as the population OF the

to variation of few thousand
when the final and revised count IS
made. This will not be known for three
or four weeks probably, as some OF the
districts will be late in coming in, and
in number of cities recounts are In
progress. Approximately the popula-
ton of the States of the Union, arranged
according to their relative rank, as
shown in some cases by actual count, in
others by postal-card returns, and in
others by careful estimates based on the
count just completed, as classed by
