The Killed and Wounded.

The men on the two locomotives in the rear
saw the cars in front of them going down and
sprang off. One of them, John Martin, fell
upon the trestle and was SO severely Injured that
he died in about an hour afterwards. He is a
son of Patrick Martin and brother of Richard
A. Martin, of Bel Air. He was about % years
old and unmarried.
The bodies of Conductor James Dodson and
Brakeman Benjamin Sprucebank were buried
under the debris.
A force of track hands, who were at work
near Bel Air, fastened to the spot and recover
ed one of the bodies, several hours afterwards.
1t was supposed to be that of Dodson, but was
burnt beyond recognition, except part of the
RICH foot which, probably, lay in the water
The skull was crushed into shapeless mass.
Later in the afternoon his brother, DR..
Lorenzo Dodson, of Delta, examined the BODY
and decided positively that it was not that OF
his brother.
Mr.. Dodson was IS years old, and leaves
a widow and three children at home in Delta.
Sprucebank was "a years old and lived in
Baltimore.
Search was continued for the second body
Charles Watts, fireman on the foremost en-
CINE, was caught beneath it by the legs and re-
manned in this position for two hours. One
of his legs was broken and it was feared he was
fatally injured. He was sent to Baltimore.
The fireman on the second engine, who Jump.
ed down a bank, had one of his arms broken in
two places and his thigh crushed. He lives in

What Mr.. Cox Saws.

John Cox, who was with Conductor Dodson
in the caboose, in front of the two locomotives
which were pushing the train, says the caboose
shot into the chasm and the engine which fol-
lowed sprang over it. He lost consciousness,
and when he came too, he found himself pinned
to the earth by an iron rod. With some diff
Guilty he released himself and was appalled, at
the sight which met his eyes. The 16 freight
cars and the two rear engines were piled in a
mass across the stream, and volumes of smoke
were coming from them. Five minutes after
wards all of the cars were in blaze.
Discovering that he was not seriously injured
he walked to Fallston and gave Information of
the accident, which occurred about ten minutes
after 9 O'Clock. He saw conductor Dodson no
more after the cars went down.
Mr.. Cox, had his left shoulder bruised. His
escape WAS miraculous,

The South for Cleveland.

Mr.. Frank w. Porchet, Farmers Ali.
ance man, of Charleston, s. c., in late in
terview in New York, said it is absolutely
necessary for the Alliance in the Southern
States TO vote for the Democratic candidate
for President, next year, to prevent negro do
mination, the Alliance being yet too weak to
elect its own Presidential candidate. He
added:
some thing the alliance men in the South
believe is that they are SO strong that they
can dictate the Democratic candidate, and SC
kill two birds with one stone. l know they
are strong, but don't believe they can dc
this unless they happen 10 settle on man
like Cleveland. His silver letter? Well, III
confess that it hurt him some at first, but
now the people have had time to think the
matter over, opinion has turned in his favor
Everybody likes a man who has the nerve
to say what he believes, and Cleveland is
such man, as every one knows. He has an
enormous following in the South, and think
is the only man in it in 1892"

ward Larkin, engineer in charge of the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
long bridge, which spans the susqnehanna
river, between Havre de Grace and Perryville,
died of acute bronchitis at his residence, in
Havre de Grace on Saturday morning, aged
sixty years. He was born at South Yarmouth,
Mass, and entered the service of the P, w. and
B. Road with Samuel W. FELTON,. Mr.. Larkin
was for time general ticket agent at Phila-
delphia, and subsequently became prominent
as an engineer. In 1878 he accomplished the
difficult engineering feat of substituting the old
wooden bridge with an iron bridge one mile in
length, with twelve spans and draw, without
stopping single train. His funeral took place
Sunday afternoon and was largely attended.

An Engineers Statement.

Mr. VIM. H. Dodson, who was on the fore
most engine, with Charles Watts, says that
when his engine was within five feet of the
north end of the trestle, the structure gave way
and he fell. He was stunned by the fall and
and two of his ribs were fractured. His engine
alghted on the slopng bank of the chasm.
The entire structure, with the exception of
four spans on the south end, fell with terrific
crash, and one after another the cars anG the
two locomotives in the rear plunged into the
abyss.

Senator Germans MOdeSty.

Probably no citizen of the United States
occupies a more exalted or honored position
or merits more praise than does the senior
Senator from this State, Hon. Arthur p.
German. In declining the reception recent
ly rendered him by the Manhattan Club, of
New York. for the rescue of the Union from
the odious election bill recently defeated in
the Senate through his brilliant and success
full leadership. he shows spirit of modesty
from which well-needed lesson might be
learned by number OF would be standard
bearers.
In acknowledging the courtesy Senator
German said:
while circumstances had placed him in
q position of prominence in the contest
against the passage of the Force bill, he re-
garded the victory as in no respect personal
one, but as the result of most self-sacrifc ing
and patriotic effort by members of the Seu-
ate, which in the end enlisted a majority of
its members. Senator German expressed
himself as indisposed to accept honors which
he felt in no respect belonged 10 him perso-
naly, and he therefore desired the committee
to make his acknowledgment to the club for
the courtesy and his great sense OF obligation
therefor"
Speaking of the Senator's reply the New
York Sun says:
Mr.. German may underate the value and
Importance of the services which he render
ed to the Democracy, but the party appre-
ciates 1t fully. The tact, the shrewdness, the
command of parliamentary resources, the pa
thence, and the high and unbending courage
with which he organized and led the defence
of free elections and fought for local self
government against the formidable assaults
of the revolutionists, will not be forgotten by
the Democratic party, and have won him in
an unusual degree its admiration and its con-
fidence His work was well done, and it
was done quickly, without ostentation OF
blowing of trumpets, almost without speech
making His associates on the Democratic
side of the Senate deserve ample praise for
their share in the campaign, but the first
honor belongs to him.
It is Mr.. Germans nature and habit TO
work powerfully and skillfully for the bene-
fit of his party, and to claim for himself nc
part of the credit of the victories which he
helps to win Politically and personally, in
the methods of his leadership and the modes
ty with which he disclaims the honor of sue
cess, he is great leader.
The manufacturers Of spring tooth har'
rows and the manufacturers of barbed wire
have both formed trusts and, it is stated, have
advanced prices. This will not be very
pleasant news for farmers who have to buy
either of these articles.

WELCOME HoME.-The Bel Air NJ. P. Parson-
age was crowded, last Friday evening, with the
friends of the pastor, Rev. s. A. Hoblitzell, to
give hearty welcome and reception to him
and Mrs. Hoblitzell upon their arrival from the
Conference, whose sessions had just ended in
Baltimore. A substantial supper was provided
by the ladies for the numerous guests, after
which the evening was devoted to social greet
ings and conversation, while the young folks
resorted to music and religious song.
At an early hour all withdrew, leaving the
pastor and his family in charge of the surround
ings, after wishing him prosperous and sue
cessful year.

A Good Work.

The movement recently begun in Bel Air
Air for the establishment of an association to
promote the physical. Intellectual, social and
moral well-being of young men, should re-
ceiye the cordial support of every good citi-
zen. 1t is movement in the right direction
and we wish it abundant success.
The numerous industries and enterprises
begun in Bel Air during the past few years,
in order to prosper, must draw to the town
the men necessary to carry them on. 1t is
complained that young mechanics and bust
ness men come to work and live among US,
remain for short time and then 60 away dis
satisfied not because of inadequate work or
pay but because sit is too dull-there is no
life" "All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy" They need some recreation, some
gathering-place where they can meet together
for amusement and social enjoyment. In
times past this want was not so much felt, be-
cause ours has been heretofore more exclu-
sively a rural, farming community. Now,
however, there is change. Bel Air is be-
ginning to assume more Importance as bus
mess place, and business men are being led
to settle here. 1t is to meet the demand re-
sulting from this change that the association
of which we speak has been proposed.
1t is gratifying and altogether hopeful
sign of the times that this movement has been
set on foot by the young men of Bel Air-not
80 much, or rather not exclusively for their
own convenience, but chiefly for the hsppi-
ness and comfort of "the stranger within our
gates" and that there may grow up between
all classes feeling of brotherly love and
fellowship. The young men invoked the
presence of the various ministers residing
among US and leading citizens, not, we be-
lieve, that they might, in the expressive,
Though inelegant slang of the day, "boss the
job" but that being countenanced by the
wise and respectable the scheme might re-
ceive the confidence of the community at
large.
We repeat, it is the young mems enter
prise for the benefit of the town, and while
we earnestly commend it to the hearty ap-
proval and liberal support of all, we suggest
that they be permitted to manage it in their
own wav

TALKING ABOUT THE RoADs.-The commit
tee appointed by the last Farmers Convention
to formulate a road law to be laid before the
next Farmers Convention of Hartford county
met in Bel Air, on Monday. Those present
were William l.. Amoss, chairman John
Moores, Geo. r. Stephenson and W. Beatty Har
Ian.
Several road laws proposed or in force in
other States were read, and the road question il
general was discussed. 1t was agreed by the
committee that they would recommend general
road engineer for the entire State, to be paid
out of the State Treasury, and to give his ser
vices in any county when required. The plar
Disappointing county engineer. it was thought
might be antagonized by taxpayers and ought
not be insisted upon at present. Members Of
the committee expressed the opinion that money
enough is spent upon the roads but it is misap'
piled from want of knowledge and experience
to secure the best results. Men ought to be
educated to work roads, and some of the com
mittee thought better results would be obtain
ed if force of road members were kept con-
stantly employed in each district, under com
petent supervision.

GOING INTO THE MILK BUsINEss.-Mr.
Robert w. Holland has made extensive i'm
provements in his barn and stables, on his farm,
near Bel Air, with a view of engaging in the
dairy business. He has enlarged his stable 10
accommodate twenty cows and has supplied the
stalls with patent stanchions of the most con-
venient kind. Labor-saving arrangements have
been provided for cutting feed on the barn floor
above and dropping it through wooden pipe to
the feed room below, where it is prepared for
the cattle. A cistern supplies an abundance OF
water for the stock and for use in the feed room.
Mr.. Holland also intends to build and fill silo
this year. He has lately procured pair of full
bred Guernseys, and will, he thinks, eventually
replace his entire herd by pure-bred animals OF
this breed.
Mr.. Holland has, besides, given considerable
attention, during the last few years, to raising
horses, and has now six fine colts, from one to
three years old, of good stock and some of them
quite promising. All of his horses and colts
are supplied with box stalls, and his stables are
well lighted, well ventilated and quite comfort
able even in the coolest weather.
Mr.. Holland is one of the few farmers, too,
who have not sold all of their last years crops.
He has hundred bushels of corn and several
hundred bushels of oats and quantity of wheat
yet on hand.

The Allianoa Convention

1t is hardly probable that the national al
lance, which meets at Indianapolis to-day,
will agree upon any new demand. The
platform agreed upon at Ocala last year
contains about all the demands that the
federated organizations consider advisable
TO insist upon. There are factions in the
organization which would like 10 have pro-
hibition and the eight-hour measure In
Guided among them, but the chances are
that these matters will not receive. the ap-
prevail Of the majority.
The convention will be made up Of the
Farmers' Alliance, the Farmers Mutual
Benefit Association, the Changers, the
Knights Of Labor and the National Alliance,
1t is not expected that much, il any, atten-
ton will be given 90 matters that are purely
political, though in the resolutions that will
be adopted it will be difficult to avoid saw
ing something that will show the drift of
political sentiment In the order. All Of the
different organizations have taken part In
politics to greater or less extent since the
Ocala convention. but their aim has been 10
get control Of state legislatures and to in
crease their strength in congress.
p" hnsOfoi nhcuStu TIE tnlro party mas II
drawn from these organizations. In Kan
sas, for instance. about all the third party
men are alliancemen. and the same is true
with respect to other states. In the recent
elections the third party did not show the
strength it was expected it would, and that
fact may cause the utterances Of the con-
vention to be very conservative with respect
to politics.
There is great deal of speculation as to
who will be chosen president. 1t is UNDER
stood that there are several candidates for
the position. The salary is a consideration,
but the place is desirable chiefly for the
prominence itgives to the man who ocou-
| pies it,
Had the third party shown greater
strength in Kansas, Ohio and Iowa in the
recent elections. the politicians would feel a
deeper interest in the convention. Still,
they will keep watchful eye on the pro-
ceedings, because the federation may 80
shape its policy as to be an influential factor
in the presidential contest next year.

Sarah Althea Terry is one the warpath to
recover $1,000 worth of silks and other dress
goods which she claims we're stolen from her
trunk in private hotel in San Francisco
called the Elsmere. Though the landlady
steadfastly maintains that no such theft oc-
CURED Sarah persisted in getting out search
warrant and specified various articles lost.
Among them she included several bits of silk
and costly underwear. Pacific coast news
papers say that the plaintiff In the Sharon
divorce suit is no longer the pretty and we'll
dressed woman she was when the great con-
test began eight years ago. Her face is
wrinkled and her hair is turning gray, In
fact she looks really dowdyish. Only her
temper remains unimpaired by years.
But she has undoubtedly been badly
treated In the settlement OF the
Terry estate. and it is probable she will
get very little out of it. Now that she ia
altogether without clothes and even divested
Oh her underwear there is no apparent al
tentative for her but to dazzle fashionable
society or go o. the stage and undertake to
elevate 1t from the drivers box.
