READING, Pa, Sept. 19.-One OF the
worst wrecks ever known in this section
of country occurred tonight on the
Reading road, seventeen miles from here.
Near Schoemakersville there is a curve,
where the railroad is about eighteen or
twenty feet higher than the Schuylkil
river. Here, shortly before 6 o'clock,
freight train ran into coal train, throw
ing several cars on to the opposite track.
Before the train hands had any time to
warn any approaching train OF danger
the Pottsvllle express, carrying about
$50 passen gers, came around the curve
al the rate OF forty-fve miles an hour
and ran into the wrecked coal cars. The
engine went down the embankment,
followed by the entire train with its
human freight. The scene was one of
horror. The cries OF lie Imprisoned
passenge were heartrending. Some OF
the passenger managed to crawl out of
their prison and arouse the neighbor-
hood. Word was telegraphed to this
city and surgeons and a force of 500
workmen were taken to the spot. The
work was slow, and the cad and dying
were taken ont vita great difficulty.
Up to 10 o'clock tonight six dead and
thirty wounded were taken ont. Or the
latter some we're brought to this city
and others taken to the Miners hospital
at Ashland

Killed On tha Cars.

CHICAGO Sept. 21.-A terrible railroad
accident occurred iii the southwestern
portion OF the city shortly after dark
this evening. A Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy suburban train dashed into au
Illinois Central excursion returning from
outside the city. The collision resulted
in fearful tragedy. For d tine the
confusion was SO great that even an
approximate idea OF the loss was impos-
sible to obtain. The first report from
The police had it that forty people had
probably met death, while the railroad
officials said only two or three persons
vera certainly known to have been killed.
Within half an hour, however, five corpses
lad been dragged ont of the heap of
broken timbers and twisted iron that
marked the spot where the collision had
taken place. By this time it had also
been ascerGained that at least three
people were seriously injured and six
others slightly.
The collision tooiz place near Douglas
park, and the victims were Sunday ex-

way home from an outing. The Bur
lington train crew, when questioned,
asserted that they passed Willard avenue
under clear signal. Willard avenue is
only short distance from where the
smash-up occurred, and the Burlington
crew claim that when the crash came the
red lights on the rear end of the Illinois
Central train were showing with extreme
dinness. To this the fearful result was
attributed without hesitation, Other
people state that the Burlington train
was behind time and running at reck
less rate, and to this was due the fact
that the engineer could not stop when
he saw the Illinois Central light. The
latter train was blocked and waiting to
be released

From present indications the grain
will not be all cut for ten days.
Twenty-one acres of T. NJ. Berry's
spring wheat averaged over sixty-live
bushels to the acre. It vas all in one
piece SO there cannot be the slightest
doubt of the correctness of the record.
Sparks from the engine of the pas
songer train Monday evening set fire to
John Petty's wheat field just south OF
town. The fire got a good start and
threatened to DESTROY the entire crop,
but force Of forty men went out and
after hard fight managed to subdue
the flames.

Those who never had the misfortune
to witness panic in crowded theatre,
were enabled last Saturday evening, in

WHITMAN COUNTY
HAPPENINGS IN OTHER TOWNS.
ISTEREsTING ITEMS CuLLED FROM PA
LOUISE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.


From Commoner, 18th inst.
There is some talk of circulating
petition among the business men Of the
city, with which to raise sufficient funds
to buy 4 town clock and have it placed
in the dome of the new court house.
Indian Mox Mox, who was up for
stealing horses, and who was shot not
long since by Douglas county sheriff,
had sufficiently recovered last Monday
TO be removed from the city hospital to
the jail. He still insists that he is
innocent.
The city justice court was crowded to
overfowing last Wednesday afternoon
when the case of John Hargraves and
Chas. Coyle was called Wednesday
morning Hargraves got little too much
"bitters" aboard and went out into
woodshed to sleep. In few moments
bartender stepped to 4 back window and
saw man in the act of gong through
Hargra7es' pockets. He was immediate
lY arrested and gave his name as Chas.
Coyle. The court found him guilty
and imposed fine of 800 and costs.
In default of payment of the fine he was
remanded to jail. Coyle had just
served term in the county jail for
stealing coat from man at Pullman
and in view of that fact the justice i'm
posed the highest possible fine upon
him. The amount taken from Har-
graves was between $3.50 and $500.
A sad, but not very serious accident
occurred at Mr.. Thoop's farm near town
last Friday morning. The thresher had
been running there day or so and a
man by the name of Miller was feeding.
Something appeared to be out Of order
to him near the spout, and stepping on
the cylinder cap it gave way and let his
foot down upon the cylinder, which was
running at an awful speed. The teeth
cut away a large portion Of the flesh of
his foot and lacerated the bones terribly.
DR.. Harvey WAS Immediately called to
dress the injury and found that it
would be necessary to amputate the
large toe, which he proceeded to do.
The doctor patched up the balance OF
the foot and thinks that it will recover.
Mr.. Miller Is now at the hospital and is
apparently doing well, but Is experience
ing considerable pain with his injured
member.

that day. We had got out Of the road
which ran through the forest, and over

large hemlock when we heard ruffed
grouse in the distance. He came directly
toward US, and alighted on tho ground
about forty feet away. There was .
small gully or water course between ua
and the bird. Before he struck the
ground he had taken about two-thirds
Of circle to break his lightning-like

up and took survey. He soon saw us,
but instead Of again flying he swelled
up in . most pompous manner. Never
had l seen grouse appear larger or
more magnificent. My brother looked
at me and suggested that he snap .
cap at him. Neither of our muzzlo-
leaders was charged. At the sound Of
the first cap the grouse slightly shoo
himself. but seemed to swell his breast
out more. My brother continued taking
caps from his pocket and swapping them
at the grouse. bringing his gun up each
time and taking deliberate aim until
nine were exploded. The grouse seemed
to like the sound and to be fascinated
by it, and the scene generally. The
man coming down the road with the
dogs alarmed him. and turning he ran
several feet and took wing. and we
heard him going through the thick ever

CHARACTER OF CATS.

The View Puas Takes Of the Philosophy
Of Nature and Life.
The bent Of the cats mind was pleas
antly defined few years ago by .
writer in the London Spectator, who
said there could be no doubt as to the
view Puss took of the philosophy Of
nature and life. She is quite satisfied
that the world and every thing In it
were made and exists for cats. This
appears in all that well-bred and cared
for cats do, and in every accent and tone
Of their voice. Puss possesses herself
with the air Of proprietor Of the best
place and the best food; expects to be
waited upon; demands share Of every
dish; and looks upon us as at once her
Providence and her servant.
Cats are not demonstrative like dogs,
and do not submit to training like the
the horse. The dog has been credited
with unbounded affections, and the
horse with almost human sagacity; but
the cat still suffers under the bad char
acter that BuffOn-who can not have
been acquainted with any reputable
specimens of the race-gaye her. She

OF fellowship in the household. j. g.
Wood answers these accusations by say
ing that the cats with which he has
been mcst familiar "have been as do
cile, tractable and good tempered as an =
dog could be, and displayed an amour,
of intellectual power which wo I'D be
equaled by very few dogs, and surpassed
be none." To all persons who haye
given their confidence to Puss and re.

Honor Among women.

How often Q woman marries . man.
herself free from debt, supposing the
man to be the same! A few months
after marriage she learns from various
