tells this story of Saturday nights wreck:
The drswbar about the middle of the excur-
sion train broke and they stopped at Middleton
half an hour to patch it up. Red lights were
not promptly placed on the rear car and just as
the train was pulling out, q heavy freight came
in at high rate OF speed. Engineer schwind
saw the hagman waving the danger signal and
Immediately called for brakes and shut Off
steam, and with the fireman jumped. 1t

an instant later the crash came The
two rear cars of the excursion train were hurled
into the ditch. The next coach was struck
fairly in the end and the locomotive pushing
under elevated it to an angle of forty-;ive de-
grees, and there 1t stood, filed with shrieking
people. This car caught fire, but Engineer
Sehwind aud the fireman were able to extin-
gush the blaze by using hose from the loco
motives. Two cars lay crushed In the ditch
with mass of MANNED and msngled people
moaning in agony, pleading for help The
rescuers set to work at once to extricate
them. Legs, arms and heads could be
seen through the broken windows, or pinned
under the wreck. The means of the helpless
sufferers mingled with the frantic cries OF
mothers, seeking husbands and children, many
ofthem being cut by glass and timbess in their
rush to escape, and bloody faces and hands,
bore ghastly testimony to the great numbe: in
jured.
The physicians and citizens OF Middletown
were soon at the scene to join In rescuing the
unfortunates. The terror-stricksn excursion
lists were made comfortable in houses The
three dead persons were properly cared for, and
the injured received all necessary attention.

of miners averaging 200. This is as high
as some of the points on the Panama
Oroya railroad of Peru, of which the
Galena tunnel is the summit. That road
will be surpassed by the narrow
gauge railroad under construction 10 con-

have length of seventy-fye kilometers
and a mean attitude of $3.50 feet. In one
of the mines tunnel is being driven at a
higher elevation than Galena, which, when
completed, will be fully as long, if not
longer than that tunnel. This work is be-

brakes and the tunnel is lighted through
