CRUSHED IN. 4 CAR.
CONDUCTOR JOHN NJ. PASKEL LOOSES
HIS LIFE IN 4 COLLISION.
AN ACCIDENT THAT couLn NOT

ARATION COMrlETE ron
TIN FUNERAL.

There seems to be I'D epidemic 90
railway accidents III over the country
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railway
does not seems 20 be without certain
share Of them. On Sunday morning,
John NJ. paskcl, i well-known resident
Of Maftinsburg, had his life instantly
crushed ont by collisionat water tank
Ne. II, on the Baltimore and Ohio, and
several others very luckily escaped
meeting the same fate. The freight
train OF which Mr. PaslSel was conduc-
tor stopped at the tank for water and
when it started up a number Of the
freight cars and the caboosc became
detached and the engine and part Of
the train went on to Hardscrabble be-
fore it was noticed, leaving the train
standing on the main track. The
brakeman who was on the lookout Of
the caboose thought II was strange
that the train should remain 10 long nj
the water station and called one Of the
men iii thecaboosc. The fog was very
dense at the time and no sooner had
the alarm been given than the rumble
Of n train and the semblance Of head
light could be seen in the distance. IA
general alarm was given and three men
did not lose any time in jumping.
Paskel was fast asleep didnotawakc
before the crash came. His head was
crushed into pulp and the probabili-
tiles are that he never knew what had
happened. As II was, the caboose was
completely demolished and the cab Of
engine No. 354 was torn 70 pieces.
Engineer Emory Duvall considers
that he had very narrow escape.
He had no warning that there was
q train ON the track ahead Of him and
it was not until he saw the light on the
caboose ahead that he reversed his
lever and, miraculous as it may seem,
Duvall after the collision found him
self stand almost on single plank
and the balance Of the cab had been
carried away.
No particular blame can be attached
to anyone on account Of the accident.
It was one Of those unfortunate mash
ups that could not have possibly been
avoided. Mr.. John Paskel was born
and brought up in Martinsburg. He
was respectedan the community and
had large circle Of acquaintance.
He has been with the B. 4 0. for some
years, and it was only d few years ago
that he was promoted to be q freight
conductor.
The funeral win take place from the
United Brethren Church tomorrow at 2
o'clock, and Mr.. W. II. When will act
as director.

The terrible heat of the last few days
has scorched every stubble field and
hayrick, until the first spark is liable
to start an almost unquepchable fire.
From Emmons county comes the re-
port of disastrous fires, but mails have
been delayed from Williamsport, and
the exact amount Of damage is not
known. Williamsport Was saved from
destruction by sudden change in the
wind. Near Lisbon thousands Of acres
Of wheat have been destroyed. The
next few days are regarded with pos

life as well as property, especially ex-
posed wheat. Small fires checked by
prompt action, have already ruined
many farms ON the Jim river valley.
The sun Of the last few days has made

nonsense, eloped with o. Squires, a

had locked her in room and kept the
key in hispocket; sthat shewouldrather
die thau live with him, and that she
hoped the sad end Of her romantic love
affair would be lesson to all foolish

Last night she again disappeared.
The Williams are well-to-dopeople, and

discovery of opium yesterday that has
raised him a hundred per cent. in the

was found in a plank in the fore peak

Two planks of the same length, width,

all right. Almost any other searcher
would have passed along satisfied, and

IN the side Of the lower plank. He drag
ged It forth, audit seemed heavier than
1t should be. Then he searched its side
Ior other screws. They were there, but
covered with putty and colored. The
rough handling he gave it sprung the
putty loose, and the purpose of the
screws became apparent.
Wrenching off that part fastened to
the plank there fell out eight bundles
q wrapped cloth used to preserve ar
tlcles from the dampness Of the weather.
these contained opium. There were
I9z metalcases valued atabout 1000.

DESTROYED.

SHENANDOAH, VA, Sept. 81. The
inhabitants Of this place were aroused
from their early morning SAUNDERS by
the ringing Of bells and shrieking Of
whistles, which on emerging from their
homes it was soon discovered that the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Shops
were on fire, and had gained consider
able Roadway in the Machine shops.
The fire broke out about A. NJ. and
originated in the Brass Foundry, which
is attached to the Machine Shops. and
as there is no fire department here and
NO wafer works, the entire works were
destroyed, consisting of Machine Shops,
Boiler Shop, Blacksmith Shops and
Brass Foundry. One passenger engine,
No. 8, which had just had general
oyerhauling and was ready to so out
the next day, and the boiler of engine
81, were completely destroyed. All the
machinery contained in the buildings
was destroyed, and eight ears which
We're standing on adjacent side-tracks
were consumed.
The yard ID the immediate vicinity
was filed with cars which were removed
to place Of safety BY the yard EN-
gines, and many ofthem were in flames
when they were moving them, which
were soon extinguishsd by the EN-
ployes. One car containing new ma
chinery for the new shops was burned,
but the machinery was not damaged
much, as the bucket brigade kept
pouring water ON it. When the fire
was at its height, it was discovered
that the store-room had caught and in
this building was contained all the
supplies for the road between here and
Hagerstown, and a determined effort
was made to save it. As many buckets
as could be found were brought into
use, and with the assistance Of aladder
and a small hose, the pressure being
obtained from the pump engine, their
efforts were successful and the fire was
soon under control, with only slight
damage to the building.
The shops destroyed were 75x250,
a story and half high and of frame,
and portion Of it had been torn down
as the Company had begun the erection
of large brick shops, and the entire
buildings were to be torn down this
week to make more room for the new
shops.
The new round-house, with capaci-
ty of "a engines, which is nearly com
pleted, was not damaged at all, as there
was no wind blowing at the time
About $50 men will be thrown out of
(some 10 or Is Of whom
are from Martinsburgl, unless the Com
pany can make some temporary ar
rangements until the new shops, which
will be pushed with redoubled force,
can be completed.
The entire loss ON buildings, ma
chinery and cars viii not exceed
$4,000, which is partially covered by
insurance.
Vast crowds Of people visited the
scene of the fire to-day to gaze ON the
ruins and twisted and
burnt locomotives and machinery. and
the whistle which announced to the
employees that the hour for toll had ar
rived win not be heard on the morrow,
or probably for some time, which is sad
news for the men and those dependent
on them for support
The origin Of the fire is unknown.

A FOE TO PROGR ESS.

It is not to be expected that Woman will all at once take the place in the world which is hers. She will get it af- ter awhile, and don't you forget it, but in the meantime there will be ''hitches. D It has been discovered in Washington that the effect of the civil service law is to greatly diminish the number of women employed in the various departments, in spite of the ever widening field for women in occupations generally. The trouble does not seem to be that women fail more than men in examinations. Indeed they do quite as we'll as men in that re- spect. The lists of the Civil Service com mission are full of female eligibles, who have only the remotest chance of appoint ment, and the commissioners, it is said, endeavor, as much as possible, to discourage women from entering ex- aminstions. What, then, is the trouble, and why doesn't Woman have all her rights in Washington The answer to this conundrum is given by the head of a department, who says: "When woman asks for leave of absence or a personal favor which it may be impossible to grant, she will go off and cry, and the next day you will find every woman in the same division down on you. When you turn down man, he will go out of hearing and swear at you, while his fellow clerks will laugh at his disappointment. For my part, would rather have a man swear than see woman cry"
 If crying is standing in the way of the onward march of Woman crying must be done away with. If anybody must cry let proud man learn the art.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Ten years ago we advocated the forma- tion of associations in Connecticut similar to those that have proved so beneficial to the people of Pennsylvania and Massachu- setts.
 As the result of the agitation through the columns of this paper several gentle men of this city secured from the legisla- ture charter for ''The New Haven Co., operative Savings Fund and Loan Associa- tion."
 This association now has over two hun dred members, many of whom are paying for their homes through this channel.
 New Haven is large enough for several associations of this kind, but to make them safe and successful their managers must throw around them the safeguards contained in the charter of the old New Haven, viz, the supervision of the bank ing department, loaning limit of sixty per cent. of the value of the property, a low rate of interest or premium to be charged the borrower. The provisions of this charter are wise and safe for both de- positor and borrower, and without them the association would not enjoy the conf dence of this community as it does today

ALITTLE HIN BOX.

They are either very honest or very care less, or both, in Delaware. In the State treasury there has been little tin box, supposed to contain certain property of the State. The oldest of the e1-treasurers now living, who was in office about twen- ty-fve years ago, remembers the tin box and that it was understood to contain cer- tifcates of bank stock, which the books showed to be the property of the State. But he never saw the certificates, and oth- CT surviving ex-treasurers are equally ignorant One of them, who held the office four years, never saw the box, but believes it was in the bank at Dover dur ing his term of office. The treasurer whose term of office has lately expired intrusted the business to his son, who took it some what more seriously than his predeces- sors. He found the books in bad con dition. Each treasurer had his own sys- tenn of bookkeeping; "the books were pieced and torn, and in some places leaves were patched with pieces pasted on them: entries were marked as errors, and other leaves put over them" There were no list of the States securities and no record of liabilities. The young man who was act ing as treasurer only knew that bank stocks were owned by the State through notices from several banks that dividends due to the State were payable. Then he looked for the certificates in the now famous tin box, but found in it only a school bond, railroad mortgage and 6 few other papers of no value. He then concluded that the bank certificates and g missing railroad bond must be in the Far mer's Bank at Dover, but did not inquire When he turned the tin box over to his fathers successor, he said nothing of the missing certificates. Contrary to what seems to have been the customary practice the new treasurer wished to settle his ac counts with his predecessor, and finding { sum of several thousand dollars apparent ly due to the treasury, demanded pay ment. The retiring treasurer could not pay, and then the facts were made public
 Nobody is accused of having stolen any
 thing. What ought to have been in tht little tin box is simply not there.
