TRAIN STOPPED BY INSECTS

TAAIN STOPPED INSECTS. Appearance of Swarm of Strange
 Bugs Near Syracuse-Their De-

 ef L1thodome.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y., May 31.-South of Brighton Corners, between this placs and Jamesville, on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, are extensive lime stone quarries, which have been in opera ton for many years and have penetrated deeply into the rock. Through the cut thus made and into the quarries a branch track has been laid from modation of the hewn stone. Night work be- ing necessary large part of the time an are light has been placed high over the track at the darkest part of the cut Sey- eral cars were loaded with stone for ship ment on Friday and left on the switch, pending the observance of Memorial day. Tonight in preparation for drawing the cars out the electric light was put in and an engine with the necessary crew left the city for the quarries. Upon reaching to be covered for sixty feet on either. side with strange insects of immense proportions. The swarm was so great that the engine became stalled, the rails having become so slippery from the | crushed insects. Examination of the new insect shows a resemblance to what is known as the electric light bug, though the newcomer is much larger. The outer | shell of the back is about the size and shape of half an egg shell and when crushed by the engine wheels gave out a cracking sound like the explosion of a toy torpedo. | The shell is black, of slaty structure and very brittle. It is supposed to be a species of ithedome-a rock boring mol lusk, crossed with some kind of predatory insect To secure the shipment of freight tonight it became necessary to let the loaded train from above in the quarry come down the grade of the cut. Gather ing momentus all the time it's impetus when it came to the obstruction carried il by the bugs

TWO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

Part of a Freight Train Goes Through
 Trestle on the Shenandoah Rail-
 road-Four Men Loose Their Lives
 in Tunnel Accident in Colorado.
 BALTIMORE, Md, May 31.-A special to the Sun states that there was bad wreck at o'clock this morning on the Shenan- doah Valley division of the Norfolk and Western railroad near Lursy. The com pany is replacing the wooded trestle at Jerry's Run, 300 yards north of Possum Run, with en iron structure and all the trains are ordered to reduce speed to four miles an hour in passing over it. Two freight trains were running north to Hagerstown, the first loaded with live stock and the second with lumber and coke. In the caboose on the rear of the first freight was portion Ter of Criglersville, Madison county. miles an hour, dashed upon the weak bridge and into the caboose. The shock unsettled the trestle and it gave away, pre- cipitating to the bottom of the ravine, seventy feet below, the csboose and two cars of the first train and all of the second train, an engine and twenty cars. MT. Stryckler was killed. John Reese of Har- risburg, brakeman, is believed to be fatally injured. Two wrecking trains were promptly dispatched to the scene after the disaster. Wet tracks, it is thought, prevented the train being slowed down. The cars and trestle were turned into kirdling wood.
 GEORGETOWN, Col, May 31.-A terrible accident happened early yesterday morn ing at the east end of the Atlantic Pacific tunnel on Kelse mountain, by which four men lost their lives. The names of the dead are: Harry Taylor. William Cough lin, J. Richardson and John Mulholland. They were employed at the breast of the tunnel in loading poles. The tunnel is very long and is worked by power drills, so they carried with them about seventy five pounds of dynamite or giant powder to complete the loading. From the breast of the tunnel is 8 drift on one of the 1odes in which Moritz Parton was working. It was customary for the boys in the shaft to come back and warn Parton of coming blast. Yesterday morning sudden and unusual explosion threw him off his feet and stunned him. After he re- covered he made his way to the engine room and told the engineer that the boys had set off the blast without telling him. A search party was organized and found all four men named had been literally blown to fragments by a premature e1- plosion of nearly 100 pounds of dynamite. How the blast was fired and what peculiar circumstances caused the awful fatality will never be known. The action took place about 2,500 feet from the mouth of the tunnel. The force of the explosion tore great hole in the wall of the tunnel and great quantity of rock blocked the way of the rescuing party for 8 time.

MEMORIAL DAY.

How 1t Was CommemOrated in
 This City and Adjacent Towns
 The Parade an Exceedingly Fine
 One-The New Haven Yacht Clubs
 Opening Regatta.
 Memorial day was appropriately cele- brated in this city and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather in the morning many hundreds turned out to do honor to the memory of the brave men who had fought, bled and died for their country and whose graves in the ceme
 teries in and around the city it is the happy privilege of grateful republic to
 decorate with flowers as emblems of
 their heroic devotion to a noble cause and unfaltering memory to the Unions dead.
 The flowers which were used in the decorations were received at the rink by a committee of ladies from the Woman's Relief corps of Admiral Foote and Henry c. Nerwin posts and there arranged into bouquets and emblems. There were plenty of flowers, and various floral de- signs, some of the prettiest of which con tributed by the children of the Fair street | school, who were especially generous and mindful in this matter and besides two large baskets of flowers, they gave several
 elegant special pieces. One of these pieces, an elegant star of peonies and | other flowers, was placed on the grave of Colonel Frank Peck in the Grove street cemetery; another, an anchor of snowballs l and white flowers, was placed over the grave of Admiral Foote; and still another, a wreath of snowballs and ferns, decor
 ated the grave of General Alfred H. Terry.
 The morning was spent in decorating | the graves, and in the afternoon took place one of the finest Memorial day parades ever witnessed in this city. The sun had broken through the clouds about noon and | a more delightful afternoon for parade, | barring the muddy condition of the streets, could not have been desired. | Thousands lined the streets along the line
 of the parade who frequently applauded | the fine marching of the men. The parade | was reviewed in front of the City hall by 1 Mayor Sargent and the court of common | council.
 | The old veterans after the parade were treated to fine band concert at Admiral
 Foote post hall Among the selections
 was the G. A. R. Triumphal march, com
 posed by B. T. Stickney of this city, and
 which was played in the great parade al
 Boston by Missuk's full military band. The
 piece is dedicated to Admiral Foote post
 G. A. R. It was also played as the parade
 left the old green Saturday. The program of selections rendered at G. A. R. hall was l q p March Stfrk-pe,
