List of the Killed.

BUFFALO, March THE following is
a revised list of the killed IN the accident
near Hamburg last night: J.. Swain,
colored porter; Jno. w. Flynn, Canon,
o., travelling agent; Jno. I. Power,
Pittsfeld, Mass, travelling agent; MI.
and Mrs. j. E. Stewart, Rochester; Mrs.
John d. Baucus. Saratoga Springs, n.
Y. This morning the bodies of the killed
were brought to the Central depot, where
the coroner took charge of them. Mrs.
Baucus was a bride, married only a week
ago.
There were many sad incidents con-
nected with the wreck, one of the sadest
being the killing of Mrs. Jos. Banchus
of Saratoga. She and her husband were
on their wedding trip, having been mar.
rled about a week. Her husband was
terribly injured, but his physical suffering
was nothing compared to his mental
agony. He acted in a distracted manner,
calling on the doctor to save her and raw
ing over her broken and bruised body.
MIR. and Mrs. j. +. Stewart of Rochester
were killed Instantly, while their 49,
months old girl, in its mothers arms, did
not receive a scratch. Superintendent
Couch OF the Lake Shore road says that
the sleeping car conductor first discovered
the break and went into three different
cars pulling the automatic brake cords
trying to set up the hand brakes, when
the crash came. Couch could not assign
any reason for the failure of the automatic
air brakes to work. They are generally
reliable. When asked Why the engineer,
with the front part of the train, did not
run away from the rear section, he said
the break occurred on a down grade and
that gave increased speed to the rear sec.
lion. The engineer claims that the
brakes OF his part of the train became set
and he couldn't get way from the rear
part in time. He did not discover the
break when it occurred, his attention be-
ing necessarily directed ahead most of the
time.

The Jackson-Lambert Fight.

CLEVELAND, O.. March THE Peter
Jackson party arrived to-day. In an in
terview Parson Davies denied the story
that Jackson was nearly Knocked out at
Troy by Lambert. The latter, he said, is
a professional wrestler, weighing $40
pounds, who went in to get the 800
promised to any one who stood before
Jackson four rounds. He got it, too"
said the Parson. mournfully. He would
agree to no n for referee but a saloon
keeper, and her insisted on eight ounce
gloves. Now, what can anyone do with
pillows? Then he didn't fight; be rushed
in and grabbed Jackson around the waist
and tried tie throw him, Peter obcyed
the rules and called for foul. The ref
cree wouldn't allow it then or when Lam
bert repeated bis tactics. In fact, all
that Lambert did was to run around the
stage trying to keep from jackson, and
when he failed in that be would duck
his head. rush in and catch Peter around
the waist. That was all there was to it."

Goodwin,s Nose Pulled.

BISMARCK, N. D.. March THE
publication of the sensational letter from
Attorney General W. Goodwin about the
lottery matter has created a great stir
here, especially among the politicians.

Never Lift n Grounded Wire.

1t is always best to avoid danger if
possible, therefore there is one rule
which ought to be taught in every
school in the United States, and that
is, never lift a wire off the ground. As
long as it is on the ground it is harm
less, no matter what pressure may be
on it. The moment it leaves the
ground it may be dangerous. If it is
in the way of traffic you can safely
pull it across the street with your foot,
then put your foot on it and hold it
OF the ground and it cannot hurt you,
but do not lift it. Never touch a wire
tied on a pole. 1t may not be danger
GUS, but it is like the unloaded gun,
it may kill you.-New York Telegram.

The SchiseophoIAe.

The 'schiseophone" is the name given to
an instrument for discovering flaws in
metals, invented by Capt. Louis De Place,
ofthe Paris School of Cavalry, and described
in recent number of La Nature. The in
strument consists of microphone COM
bined with a mechanical striker and
sonometer. In using this instrument one
operator directs the striker over the surface
of the metal under examination, while an
other listens at the telephone in an adjoin-
ing room. When the striker hits point
over flaw the sound is increased, and the
increase is so magnified by the microphone
that the listener at the telephone can detect
its presence. Tests of the instrument were
made at Ermont on the rails for the North
ern Railway company, and in every case
where a flaw was indicated by the instru-
ment it was found to exist on breaking the
rail
