and Over Thirty Injured.

and Over Thirty Injured.
MIDDLETowN, o., July 9S.-An excur-
zion train on the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton was run into by a freight
at this city Saturday evening. Three
people were killed and over thirty in
iured more or less. The train was com
posed of fifteen coaches and contained
about 900 persons who had spent a
pleasant day at Woodsdale Island park,
a resort and picnic ground near Hamil-
ton on the Miami river.
The train was behind time, owing to
broken drawbar, and had pulled onto
siding to await orders. The siding was
not of sufficient length to allow the en-
tire train to go upon it and the two
rear coaches were left on the main track.
They were out of sight of the engineer.
The freight following crashed into the
crowded car, scattering people In all di-
rections. Some managed to escape, as
the conductor told those in the car that
freight was following and that if they
heard it to leave the coaches and jump
for their lives.
The following is list of the killed and
injured:
William Matthews, of Dayton.
Miss Minnie FREEZER, of Dayton.

Awful Scenes at a Collision
Near st. Mand, France.
At Least Fifty Killed, and Propa-

Two Crowded Excursion Trains
Meet With a Crash.

Fire Breaks Out in the Debris, and q
Number of People Perish within
Sight of the Awe-Stricken Multitude
Near Middletown, o., q Freight
Crashes Into a Disabled Excursion
Train, Killing Three and Injuring
Many More.
PARIS, July ga terrible railway
accident occurred Sunday near the vii
lage of st. Mand, in the department OF
the Seine. Two excursion trains collided,
owing to some error on the part of the
driver of one of the trains. Both trains
were loaded with passengers out for a
holiday. The collision was followed by
a scene of frightful confusion. Three
carriages were utterly wrecked, and
many persons were crushed and injured
in the ruins.
Fire Adds to the Horrors.
After the fearful crash the trains
caught fire and those of the nnfortnnates
wedged in the debris were slowly roast
ed. Many of the poor creatures We're
so placed that for many agonizing min
utes they were forced to look upon
death remorelessly burning its way to
them. All that humanity could do to
extricate them from situation not to be
described by language was done, but in
most instances to no avail. The awe
stricken multitude were compelled to
stand helplessly by and listen to the
awful din made by the cracking flames,
the falling iron work of the burning
cars and the shrieks, means and prayers
of the doomed. Occasionally voice
would raise itself above the tumult, sup
plicating the merciful to kill the I'M
happy speaker, and put him out OF pain.
In number of instances men and
women were seen laughing, gibbering
and flinging their arms wildly about.
Fear had dethroned their reason.
The engine Of the rear train telescoped
the last three cars of the train, and
almost instantly the reservoir in which
the gas was stored exploded with a ter
rife force. The wreckage then caught
fire. A half hour elapsed after the out
break of the flames before the last faint
cry of agony was stilled. Fully 200 per-
sons are known to have been killed or in
Jured.
Many Were Drowned, Too.
1t appears that in addition to the other
horrors of the collision, the death by
drowning of many of the imprisoned
passengers is to be added. Forty min
uses elapsed before the bumpers were
aBle 30 obtain water. When, however,
they did 30 they poured torrents upon
the wreck and seemed to be utterly
unaware that they were drowning half
roasted people whom they were trying
to rescue.
Fifty Bodies Taken Out.
Up to 2 p. IN. Monday, fifty bodies
had been recovered from the wreck. The

A Progressive Religious Journal.

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph, Dec
26th., has the following to say about th'
Presbyterian Banner.
''The prt q of religious journalism a
demonstrated by the Presbyterian BdHHe,
of Pittshurg, is worthy of note. 1t wa'
started July 9Th, 1914, at Chillicothe, Ohio
the headquarters of the northwest territory
in those DAYS, where resided many familie;
of high social and religious intelligence
There Rev. John Andrews issued the first
number of the Banner on the plan which
religious newspaper are now published IN
this country. Here was the first religious
newspaper published in the United States,
or in tact, in the world, there being no such
religions publications in Europe up to that
time.
The very first number of this journal
contains religious, literary, civil and
general intelligence on the same plan now
adopted by the religious press of to-day.
1t was removed TO Pittsburg in 1921,
where it has been published ever since.
The new offices in the Bank OF Commerce
Building which have just been completed
and elegantly furnished, are in keeping
with the dignity of the Banner. For the
past % years the paper has been under the
present management of Jas. Allison d Co.
1t is progressive in the full sense of the
term. 1t is fearless in the exposure OF
evil, and as religious news gatherer it is
thorough and far.reaching, having special
correspondents in all parts of the world.
Not content with the good work done, the
Banner is making progress every year, and
whatever Improvements the age develops,
the Banner is ever ready to take hold.
There is scarcely village or hamlet where
it is not read, and no Presbyterian family
is complete without it.

The Fireman's concert held on Thursday
night at the Opera House was fitting
termination to the most successful contest

dale, $100.75. Total $3450.46.
Miss Fraziersthus takes the piano, and
each of the hose companies gets sS9s.7s,
which certainly speaks most highly for the
efforts Of the contestants and the liberality
of our people. Miss Sink took the second
prize OF $50.
The concert was success. The Germa :
MIA was there in full force and Lou Voge-
ly, Gus Wickenhagcn and Leon Dondag

cal solos were by Miss Josie Reiseman,

"A Washington Co. man has invented q
novel reamer for oil-wells. The tool is
really pair of reamers held apart by a
powerful spring. The tool is attached to
the stem just like bit, and when it
reaches the bottom of the casing the spring
will force the pair OF reamers apart to the
required sire, and they are then operated
like the ordinary reamer. By the use Of
the tool well can be drilled and only one
string of casing used. This means the
saving Of two strings Of casing in the deep
drilling district and also that deep drilling
will be less expensive than heretofore on
this account.

Butler County Reunion.

The natives of Batter county living il
Beaver Falls and vicinity met at the oper'
House there on Thursday evening, Janua
n 22d, at Z o'clock, pm.
The meeting, after being called to order
had few remarks from A. S. Moore, Esq
followed by an address to God BY Rev. NJ.
/. Sloppy, who then acted as Chairman fol
the balance of the evening and at once
seated the particular friends from a dis
lance, then the neighborS and then the
emigrants that hal located at the Falls.
Every one present was Accommodated with
a good, fancy, old fashioned Butler county
supper. Nine kinds of cake, seven kinds
of preserves, hearty God less you, closing
with pumpkin pie and hot buckwheat
cakes Two tables, one at each side OF
hall, comfortably seated about l25 persons,
and the never tiring walters kept these
tables running constantly until all were
fed. 1t was very pleasant occasion.
The appetite was sharpened by good hu-
NOR and music, and satisfied by as good
food as the world can produce. Rev.
Sloppy looks well and is not too holy to
enjoy chicken or fun. Jas Piper and Mark
Weisner were in their glory; W. II. Mar
tin-the old sign post of the camp meet
ing-looks younger than he did eight
years ago He sat in the front seat and en-
joyed it all One leg of d. c. Ayres was
there, the other is chasing the rebels yet.
Thompson Mckinney is good looking and
had the manly kindness to introduce me
to his good wife who was once pupil in
my school. C. C. Sullivan and John A.
Dodds appeared to work at the wheel, and
both tried to get on the lead side. They
are both good looking men and if they
should die without doing any terrible thing
like Delameter, l would like to have their
pictures.
We were told that John A. Dojds con
ceived the thought of having this reunion,
and he was reelected President, and will
have another meeting next year. When
the thing is patented it will be known as
''The Butler County Sausage Suffer and
Soul Expander," Unlimited
W. NJ. Ray looks well but still laughs
on Sunday. The fact is the colony is loyal
to the name of Butler county and is pros
porous and happy. Dershimer furnishes
music for the children and Henry Purvi-
ance furnishes them with shoes and both
have more than they can do.
Bryson told me that after spending a
fortune hunting for better world he come
back to New Brighton.
While the last table was being served
Rev. Sloppy, who was my comrade in Pat
terson's charge at Bull Run, introduced
me to my old friends. ] spoke for some
time on those high and lofty subjects of
Soil, Climate, Natural Selection, Original
Sin and Political Corruption until / was
exhausted, at this point Greer was only
half done eating.
After music, the audience waited until
Greer had finished supper when he was in
troduced and furnished much amusement
in the relating of old Butter county histo-
ry, and many jokes peculiar TO the land OF
Buckwheat cakes.
Esquire Piper, A. s. Moore and many
others made short speeches and the happy
crowd adjourned after three cheers for But
Ter county and the singing Of Auld Lang
Syne, to meet again next year.
