delphia 4 Reading Railroad.

Fifty-Stories OF the
Survivors.

READING, Pa, Sept. 20.-.When daylight
aawned on the scene of last nights wreck
on the Philadelphia q Reading railway
the full realization of the indescribable
horrors were fully revealed. The engine
lay in five feet OF water. The body of Eu-
sineer White was pinned under the
heavy iron work, the arms extended in
an appeal above the water. Next lay the
tender on its side and then the baggage
and mail cars and passenger coaches,
with the timbers broken and cars over
turned, pinning the unrescued victims in
a death embrace at the bottom of the
river. Searching for the bodies continued
all night and nuraber more were taken
cut. The body of George X. Kaersher,
general counsel of the Reading railroad,
vas taken out this morning badly disfig-
ured. The scene on the banks of the
river is CHASTITY. The long row of dead is
increased as one after another the bodies
are brought out. II is difficult TO move
she ponderous cars. Thousands have
tiocked TO the scene willing TO assist, bu,
their aid is of very little service where ex-
perienced men are required. Up to IL
o'clock this forenoon 20 bodies have been
taken out, and the list of injured is now
about fifty.

In a Pitched Battle With the sheriff u
Number Are Killed and Wounded.

CATrLETsBURo, KY, Sept. 9.-Advices
OF reliable nature received to-day from
Louisa, n.y., says that on Twelve-Pole
creek near Wayne court house, Va, FRI
day terrible fight occurred between a
sheriif's posse and a gang of Italian rail-
road laborers, in which several Italians
were Killed and a number wounded.
Some weeks ago contractor on the Nor
folk a Western railway, named Keogh,
went away having business creditors,
among the number being some Italians.
The new contractor took possession
OF the abandoned works and put a
number of laborers to work in the cut for
merly worked by Italians. The latter re-
fused to allow any one 10 work in the cut
until they had received pay for the work
done under keogh and proceeded 20
oust the new laborers. Three times the
laborers were run out and the contractor
appealed 10 the court for protection and
was furnished with a posse OF about a
dozen men, headed by the sheriff of
Wayne court house. Friday the sheriff
appeared and made an attempt To arrest
the Italians, who tiercely resisted, and am
unequal combat resulted with 40 or more
Italians ON one side, armed with stones,
knives and revolvers, and the sheriff s
men on the other. The Italians fought
from behind trees, stones and whatever
would shield a ,nan's body. The firing
became general and lasted some minutes.
Several Italians were killed and several
wounded, while the sheriir's men escaped
with few small bruises. About - Ital-
ians were arrested and taken To Jail. The
remainder escaped in the woods. The
scene OF the fight is 40 or 30 miles from
here and is remote from railroad and tel.
cgraphic communication.

BERLIN, Sept. 20.-After the grand pa
rade Of troops near Eicholz this morning
Emperors William and Francis Joseph
parted with embracing and kissing, after
complimentary speeches on both sides
and much cheering by their retainers.
Emperor William thanked Emperor
Francis Joseph and the King of Saxony
for attending the manoeuvers and said he
hoped what they had seen had convinced
them that the army remained as efficient
under his leadership as il was under that
Of Emperor William. Official infor-
nation has been received 10 the ef-
feet that Austria has taken the initiative
in proposing concerted European action
against the Mckinley tariff bill.
Reports in Paris newspapers say
that France had been invited
to join. Doctor Eibund says l do not
mean n palitical league. but league
whose object will he TO take common
commercial reprisals against America.
Reports, however. were entirely prema-
ture, Chancellor Won Caprivi evidently
feeling himself incapable of deciding
complicated questions involved in the
tariff war, declined 10 commit Germany
TO any action before consulting his col
leagues and il is probable Count Kalnoky
and Ribot, French minister OF foreign
affairs, will exchange views on the matter.
The officials Of the foreign Office here
deny there has beer any communication
with the French government on the subject
since overtures of Ribot thereon
were allowed TO drop. Herr Miguel
is opposed TO any measure
tending 10 increase the cost of necessary
articles of food. Taxation reforms which
he is preparing draw upon the resources
| OF the monied classes and do not touch
| the food of the people. The spirit of his
policy is in the direction of reciprocity,
not retaliation. IL Chancellor Won Cap
rivi is guided by his colleagues, Ger
many's consent to join France. Austria
and Italy in Zollverein against America
| will never be given. The Vienna press,
which Is more exercised over the tariff
question than are German papers, dis
cusses the advisability of retaliating by
placing a general European ban upon
American products, by refusing 10 protect
American patents, aud various other
methods possible for countries having inn
portant commercial relations with the
United States. Emperor Williams visit
to Vienna is now fixed for October I,
when conferences will be resumed. Inter
views at Rohnstock have not resulted
in any arrangement for meeting be-
tween the Austrian emperor and the czar,
which was projected by Emperor Will
liam. Diplomatic advantage meantime APP

Maine Stale Fair.

In behalf of the unusual interest mani
tested by our people throughout this
State, the officers of the Maine State
Fair, to be holden at Lewiston, Sept. 9Th
to 18th, are preparing and arranging for
the most attractive exhibit ever seen In
New England. From the present out
look, the exhibit Of high bred horses and
other bonded stock will eclipse any for
mer exhibition.
The Grange exhibit promises to be on
a grander scale than ever. The liberal
premiums aggregating $l75, offered by
the Society, have already stimulated a
sharp competition, and as we say of a
horse race, It's hard telling at the start
who is the winner.
In addition to all other attractions a
great many curiosities and interesting
things from the Southern States, includ-
ing live alligators from Florida, growing
cotton. peanuts, rice, and figs, together
with the varied products Of these pro-
ductive States, will be on free exhibition.
Parents who wish their children
to be fully and correctly posted about the
true and real products Of these South
American States. will take them to this
Fair, as they will see in one days time
what 1T will take them years to learn
from books.
