While Running Seventy-fivo Miles an
Hour IL Killed Three Men.


ALTOONA, Pa, June l3-A serious acci-
dent occurred at a. IN. on the Pennsylva-
nia and Northwestern railroad at point
near Bellwood which resulted in the death
Of three men. A freight train OF thirty
heavily laden coal cars left l4loydsville
followed by pusher After reaching the
summit the train commenced TO descend
the mountain side at high rate OF speed.
The engineer and crew applied the brakes,
but they failed to work on account Of the
slippery condition OF track caused by the
rain. The runaway train kept on in It's
mad flight until a speed Of seventy five
mikes per hour was reached. The train
men struggled with the brakes, trying to
save themselves and she train. AT Roatis
trestle, which is a curve, the engine left
the track followed by twenty-nine cars
which were piled up and broken into all
shapes A hunt for the missing employees
was instituted, when Engineer John 81
monton was found dead between the sand
box and bell
1t is supposed that he climbed out on the
engine to work the sandbox Fireman
Millard Frazier and Conductor Stephen
Van Scoyne were taken out from under
the tender horribly disflgured. Brakemen
Dunn and Hetrick jumped from the train
when at Fs highest speed, the former in
going over q steep embankment was
forced through stout fence His escape
from instant death was miraculous He
received only a slight wound on the head
Hetrick received a number OF injuries,
none of them serious

LONDON, June 13.-The Official Gazette
under date Of June 10 announces that the

the army, as her majesty has no further

The English newspapers are filled with
gossip on the subject Of the baccarat scan

in this respect to the Nonconformists,

ways he has won Mr.. Gladstones conf,
