DEADLY MISTAKES.
Two Fatal Wrecks Caused by Err
rors Of Judgment.
SEVEN KILLED IN PENNSYLVANIA

A Work Train on the Pittsburg and
Western Road Crashed Into by a
Freight-Arms and Legs Scattered
Along the Track-Fifteen Victims
in Spain.
NEWCASTLE, Pa, Sept. 25 A terri
BILE wreck occurred Yesterday on the
Pittsburg and Western railroad at No
Kim's Siding, station a short distance
on the other side Of Zelienople, Butler
county. At this point a work train
with force of fifty nlen was engaged
in putting down new track. The work
train got out of the way Of freight
train going west, but the crew did not
know that second section of the same
number was following five minutes
later. The work train again pulled out
on the main track, and the men were
engaged in throwing off dirt when the
second section struck the work train
with great force. Cars were piled up In
shapeless mass. The engines were a
mass of broken iron and wood, and the
hot steam and boiling water poured
over the unfortunate ones caught in the
jam.
A Scene of Horror.
For a moment after the collision there
was silence. Then the air was broken
by the shrieks of the dying, making the
scene so terrible that one of the train
men who had escaped injury tainted with
horror. The trainmen and laborers who
were not injured began at once to assist
those imprisoned in the debris. Several
arms and legs were found in several diff
ferent places, and the head of an Italian
was found twenty feet away from the
body. The engineer, John Houghton,
who had bravely done his best to stop
his engine attached to the freight train,
was found wedged in broken and shape
less iron. The bodies of six Italian
laborers were taken from the wreck,
and, with the killing of Engineer
Houghton, this swells the number to
seven,
The killed are: John Houghton, en-
gineer, leaves widow and three chill
dren; Joe Hibenish, Mat Gertisch, John
Wenner, John Ossick, John Burke, John
6oleroy.
There were at least twenty men in
jured, several Of whom cannot recover.
All of the bodies were terribly mangled
and disfgured. Engineer Houghton
was the only American killed.
1t ia said that mistake was made by
the trainmen, who did not correctly in
terpret the signal.

A Mystery.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, October s.
This city was thrown into a fever of ex-
element this morning at 8 o'clock by
the finding of the body Of "a girl, IL
years old, floating in Corpus Christi
Bay, near here. 1t proved to be that of
Rowna Hamlin. Tile discovery revealed
the fact that Horace IIamlin, father Of
the girl, had left his residence at 5
this morning for Il walk, accompanied
by his two .year-old boy and two daugh-
tiers, aged II and IL years respectively.
After the finding Of the first body,
thousands of people assembled at the
wharf while stout hearts and willing
hands dragged the bay with every
facility at their command. One
hour was spent in this way
when the inanimate form of pretty
Helen was brought to the service,
adding horror to the sad occasion.
Further search resulted in the ecovery
of the father, whose remains were con-
veyed to tho house, only to add to the
poor wife's anguish.

The Kirmess.

Undoubtedly one of the very finest pres
entations ever given by local talent in
Ogden will be the Kirmess, which is to be
given February and 10 in the Grand opera
house. This Kirmess is taken after the
easteon entertainment of similar nature,
and will be comparatively elaborate For
two months preparations have been made
to make this a grand success. Sixteen
young ladies have been drilling under the
efficient command of Major Harris, of the
Ogden Military academy. These ladies
will go through a manual Of arms with
guns, and several beautiful fancy figures
will be introduced in connection with the
military drill. Their costumes VIII be
most attractive. They will be attlred after
the style of daughter of the regiment,
with knapsacks, etc. A novel feature will
be the living checker board. The idea was
taken from a checker board which was
given in New York city by society ladies',
and which ran for fifty consecutive nights
Twenty-four little girls will give
the checker board in the Kirmiss
and they will move according
to the instructions of two expert checker
players. The game thus will be played
right before the audience, and will, I'm
doubtedly, create lively interest from all.
Sixteen ladies' and gentlemen will give the
Sir Roger de Coverly dance. Prof.
Younger has been drilling these persons for
some time and the dance promises to be
interesting and attractive. The partici-
pants will be attired in costumes of 1776,
and most likely the gaunt figures. with the
peculiar costumes, will make pleasing ap-
pearance and the whole will be frightened
by the calcium lights, which will be pro
vided for the occasion. Perhaps the most
elaborate tableaux ever presented in Og-
den will greet the audience for the first
scene. This is to be tableaux of nations.
and is under the management of the ladies
of the board OF control, who have taken an
active interest in making it attractive.
Miss Carrie Dodd is to recite on the even
ing of the 18th, and Mrs. H. w. Shurtliff.
the well known soprano, will sing. In ad-
dtlon there will probably be one of the best
solo dancers that can be procured in the
territory, aud a few other beautiful tab
leauX will be interspersed among the num-
bers.
This Kirmess is to be given for the
benefit of the Ogden public library, and
the active interest that the eighty partici-
pants have given for several weeks past
in making the klrmess as elabor ate as it
will be, should only increase the zeal of the
citizens as whole to give Ogden public
librar. that shall be equal if not unsur-
passed by any other city of it's size in the
