ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF
Yesterdays DISASTER.
THE FIRST REPORTS CONFIRMED
Terrible Effects of the Explosion
at st. Clair--Details of the
Crash at Delano-T The Le-
high Company Blamed

The remains of the five victims of the
locomotive explosion at New Castle yes.
terd v were viewed at St. Clair last night
by corOnets jury.
The victims we're Joseph Zeigler,' engi-
neer, aged 80 years, resided at Port Carbon
and left wife and three children.
Napoleon Paul, fireman, aged 80 years,
resided at Pslo Alto, lett small family.
Henry Sands, brakeman, aged 35 years,
resided at Mechsnicsville, left wife and
one child
Edward Winterstein, brakeman, aged %
yeare, resided at Port Carbon, left q wife
and three children.
Jacob Turner, brakeman, aged 30 years,
resided at ST. Clair, left wife and one
child.
Conductor Mccormick and James Attach
were riding on the front end of the i'll fated
train, which was being pushed up grade at
therste OF about seven miles an hour. The
sudden stopping Of the train, following the
explosion, threw the two men TO the ground.
Upon regsining their feet the sight that
met their gaze was terrible one. Hasten
ing to the rear end OF the train thsy found
the remains of the unEortunAtes scattered
along the tracks, on the embankments and
in the creek. Zeigler and Sands were frat
found. Their bodies ware found on the
hillsde to the right and 100 feet from the
track. Psups body was picked up in the
creek, 200 feet south of the wreck. Turner
body was found on the roadside below the
embankment of the railroad. Il was
thrown high in the air by the force of the
explosion and in it's descent broke the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company's tele-
graph wires from their fastenings. The
body was hurled four hundred feet. II
required search of two hours to find
Wilterstein's body. 1t was found up on
the mountain, one huAdred and fifty feet
above the wreck and three hundred yards
distant from it.
Paul and Turner, two of the victims, and
Conductor Mccormick, were members of
the crew of engine No. 952, which exp oded
near Mill Creek on October 10Th, last.
The explosion was one of the most dis
astrous in the history of the Reading road
An examination of the massive engine,
which was of the Mogul pattern and Dum-
bered 956, showed that all left of it was the
frame and running gear.
The officials of the company are reticent
and profess to be unable to account for the
repeated explosions of the Mogul engines.
There is a prevailing opinion, and many
old railroaders share in it. that the con.
struetion OF this class of engines is faulty.

THE SUPREME JUDoEsHIP.
ALL THE NEWS FOR ONE CENT.

1h6 0OEbhMn OOO06No11AEs
The fact that Supreme Court JUS
tice is to be elected in this state next
fall has called forth hest of recon-
mendatiOns of candidates, and any
amount of suggestions and claims
as to the location of the candidate.
AS usual the western part of the state
is clamorous for the nomination,
claiming that the candidate shall be
taken from west of the Alleghenies,
and the Pittsburg papers believe that
the Estate of Allegheny" is all of the
country west of the mountains. And
while Allegheny, with her large and
reliable Republican majority, is en-
titled to great consideration in our
conventions, neither she nor Philadel-
phia are entitled to everything. But
hitherto the north, south, east and
west portions of the state have got
about everything that was going in
our conventions, while the great CEN
trail portion of the state has Jared q
good deal like "a bound boy at q
husking.n 1t is high time that some
sort of recognition be awarded to the
Juniata and Susquehanna Valleys.
That being self-svident proposition
wethink the nomination for Supreme
Judge should be conceded to this sec.
tion, in which event Hon. w. F.
Sadler, of Carlisle, should be the
nominee. He is not only one Of the
ablest but one of the most popular
Common Pleas Judges in the state,
and his name upon the ticket would
prove tower of strength in Demo-
cratic Cumberland, as we'll as the
surrounding countries. He was q
candidate in 1884, we believe, and
developed considerable strength in the
convention, but was turned down.
to further the interests of candidates
from other sections, whose names were
ron the slate.n The record he then
made SHOULD stand him in good stead
now. We nominate Hon. w. F.

about to crash into each other he applied
his air brakes and told his fireman, Michael
McDevitt, Of Wilkes. Barre to jump. The
order was obeyed, but the engineer faced
the crash and died with bis hand clutchine

wedged against the boiler. He was ter.
ribly scalded and life was extinct. Toe
engine was a complete wreck. The Lehigh
engine, which il numbered 449 and bears
the name Nv. A. Lathrop," was much
less damaged. Her head and pony truck
we're shattered but the other damage wa.
slight.
Irwin Blakslee was riding in the cab of
443 and when he saw the collision was
about TO take place he tried to reach plscl
of safety by crsw ing over the tender
When the engine collided he was thrown
against the fire box and covered by h
shower of coal from the tender.
The wreck train crew cleared the road in
time for traffic to be resumed this morning
As TO the responsibility for the wreck
there seems to be prevailing opinion that
the Lehigh train was late, but as to the re.
sponsibi ity of the engineer and conductor
there is some question. AS the wires we're
down at New Castle, no orders we're sent
ahead and the train kept its course. Zach
Meyer, the conductor of the Pennsylvanis
train, is an old and experienced railroad
man. he was conductor on the Shamokin
and Sunbury division for some time before
he took his present run. He is courage.
Gus and cool man, and served with dis
tinction in the rebellion.

ANOTHER CALAMITY.
Dualin Explodes with Horrible Ef.
fect at HoneYbrook.

A distressing accident occurred at No. ]
stripping, Honeybrook, yesterday after
noon. A crowd of Hungarian laborers
employed by Dick and Montz, the strip.
ping contractors, were seated near large
box eating dinner when fifty pounds Of
No. 2 duAlin in the box exploded. One Of
the meR was instantly killed. A large
stone passed clean through his body. An
other died while being lifted into an ambu-
lance and a third expired shortly after.
There are three others for whom there is no
hope. One man had his eyes blown out
There are seven receiving treatment at the
Miners Hospital in Bazleton and they are
in u dangerous condition. The foreman Of
the gang says there were at least twenty
men sitting around the box when the ex-
plosion took place, but he can only account
for thirteen. Some of the men ran into the
woods nearby panic stricken and it is feared
some of them are lying in the bushes, in
jured.
The box containing the dualin and about
which the men we're seated was close to 9
fire, which accounts for the explosion.
