DALzELL A CANDIDATE.
He Announces His Desire to Sucoeed
Senator Quay.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Congressman
Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, is out in an in
terview announcing himself as candi-
date for the United States senate, to
succeed Senator Quay. In answer to the
direct question if he was candidate
Mr.. Dalzell said:
81 had hoped not to be pressed for an
answer to this question at this time, but
as continued silence on my part seems
only to be fruitful of misrepresentation
/ will define my position. There is un-
doubtedly a widespread sentiment in
Pennsylvania against the reelection of
Mr.. Quay. In this sentiment, wholly
apart from any considerations personal
to myself, sincerely concur. If that
sentiment shall tal;e form in my favor,
and be elected TO the highly honorably
and responsible office of United States
senator, shall appreciate the honor,
and to the best of my ability perform its
duties with fidelity and with loyalty on
all occasions to the declared principles
of the Republican party"

DEATH In A TUNNEL.
Fatal Resul Its Of an Underground
Crash.
CRUSHED A ND ROASTED TO DEATH.

The Locomotives Went Almost
Through One Another, While Car
Piled Upon Car Engineer and
Fireman Found Covered with
5moldering q Goals.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, Dec. 19.-By the col
ision of two freight trains in the tunnel
on the Catawissa branch of the Reading
railroad near here yesterday, Engineer
Fisher and Fireman Smith were killed,
Conductor Rinker and Brakeman Steltz
fatally injured and Brakemen Jones and
Comton seriously injured. All the vic
Tins live at Catawissa.
Engineer Fisher was given orders at
Catawissa to meet another freight train
at Lofty, five miles distant. There was
binding snow storm prevailing at the
time, and Fisher put on full steam and
started for the meeting place. When
in the middle of the tunnel the flash OF
headlight was seen directly ahead of
them.
The Crash in the Tunnel.
Fireman Smith shouted to Fisher and
then jumped to the footboard, hoping to
get off on THE side of the engine, but the
tunnel was too narrow to allow him to
do this and he crawled back to the cab.
The engineer in the meantime had given
a warning whistle to the crew of his
train, and applied the air brakes.
But it was too late. The trains camo
together with terrible crash. Clouds
of steam and showers of blazing coal
filed the tunnel. The two locomotives
went almost through one another, car
piled upon car, until the two trains were
almost a mass of ruins. The crews of
both trains were thrown in all directions
and from among the debris could be
heard the cries and groans of the injured
men. The citizens of Catawissa turned
out in force to render what assistance
they could, but it required two or three
hours work before an entrance to the
tunnel could be effected.
Covered with SmoIdering Goals.
The dead bodies of Engineer Fisher
and Fireman Smith were found covered
with smould dering Goals, lying in the cab
of the engine. Brakeman Steele was
4 und pinned between the tender and
cab with his leg almost pinched off
Conductor Rinker's arm and part of one
OF his legs were jammed into shapeless
mass of bone and flesh.
Jones ard Comton were extricated
from two broken box cars. They were
covered with car wheels and timber.
and their escape from death is miracle.
Their bodies are badly bruised and cut.
The cause of the accident has not
been determined, but it is supposed to be
a misunderstanding of orders.
