of injured is placed at forty, but at this
hour, 2:30, 1t is impossible to authentic

train. but escaped unhurt- Thirteen
bodies have been recovered. including
that of the infant mentioned
The accident occurred shortly before
o'clock and the workmen at the in
dustrial plants in South Harrisburg at
once responded to the call for help.
The passengers were hemmed in the
broken cars and many We're assisted to-
places of safety by those who first
reached the scene
The'operator at Steelton is alleged to
have been responsible for the accident
in having given Engineer Kelly the
wrong signal. The sharp curve at
Dock street also made the disaster more
serious than 1t would otherwise have
been. The baggage car next TO the en-
CINE was the only one in the second sec
ton wrecked None of the trainnen
were hurt
The private car of George Westing-
house was the last on the first train
and its weight crushed the day coaches
ahead OF 1t into kindling wood
Nobody in the Westinghouse car was
hurt, except the porter, and he was but
slightly injured A drenching rain
made the work of rescue exceedingly
difficult, and owing 10 the excitement
it is almost impossible to obtain names
of the dead and injured

gineer and fireman of the section, are
both from Philadelphia They stuck to
their posts, the fireman explaining after
the accident that they had not even
time to think or jump, it all came so

A LOCKOUT I'M NEW YORK.
Housesmiths Denied Employment-Fift,

Housesmiths Denied Employment-Fifty
Thousand May Be Involved.
New YORK, June 2T.-At the close OF
Saturdays work the members of the Iron
league in retaliation for boycott by
the housesmith's union discharged all
the housesmiths, all not union men or
ready to renounce their membership in
the knights of Labor to be re-employed
Monday morning.
The number of housesmiths to be
discharged by members of the Iron
league is estimated at about 1,500. In
addition to these other employees de
pendent on the working of the house
smiths to the number of about 1000 will
probably be thrown out by the lockout
Further complication are likely to
arise if the lockout is forced, resulting
eventually in throwing fully $4,000 men
out of work. Both sides appear to be
equally determined and a bitter strug-
gle is likely to be the outcome.

welcomed with loud cheers As he
stepped upon the platform reception
committee presented him with bouquet
and an address of welcome, and the band
played Die Yacht Am Rhein-'
The irrepressible students, among
whom Prince Bismarck Is the very
greatest sort of a favorite. were out in
force. They were determined to well
come him and their enthusiasm ap-
peared to be contagious, for the streets
through which the prince passed on his
way to Herr Lenbach's villa Were
crowded. The Munich firemen bore
flaming torches and the students and
fremen formed a line along the route,
while the crowd, numbering thousands,
stood behind them. As the prince and
his party drove along the crowd broke
out into wild and long continued cheer
ing.
When the party arrived at Herr Len
bach's villa, where they will remain
during their stay in Munich, they were
greeted by twenty-four trumpeters Of
the Allotria Artists association. Many
of the crowd had followed the party
and continued cheering for the eN-
chancellor. Three times did Prince
Bismarck appear upon the balcony of
the villa where bowling and smiling he
thanked the people of Munich for their

ANTLsEMITIC WARFARE.

Reported That the Jewish Officers in the
French Army Intend to Avenge Capt.
Mayors Death.
PARIS, June 27.-Marquis De Mores
was Saturday arrested charged with
having caused the death of Capt Mayer.
The funeral of the dead duelist has
been fixed for tomorrow and promises
to be an interesting affair. Capt May
er's death in defense of the rights of
the Jews in France as a result of the
anti-Senitic warfare being waged in
this country, has created great excite
ment among the Jews, arousing them to
a high pitch of indignation. 1t is feared
the Jewish residents of this city and
suburbs will engage in demonstrations
on the occasion of the funeral of Capt.
Mayer. The authorities apprehended
trouble and are taking precautions TO
prevent any conflicts. The whole jew
ish parish in Paris has sent messages OF
profound coincidence to the family
OF Capt. Mayer expressing to the be-
reaved relatives appreciation of the
dead man.
1t is reported that the Jewish officers
in the French army intend to aveuge
the death of Capt. Mayer and that a
series of duels arising from the affair
is imminent.
In the chamber of deputies to-day NJ.
Dreyfus questioned NJ. de Freycinet,
minister of war, as to what steps the
government proposes to'take to secure
liberty of conscience in France and to
protect officers of the army from insult.
The newspapers in their editorial
comments almost unanimously regret
the death of Capt Mayer and say they
trust that the emotions excited by the
fatal outcome of the duel may arrest
the attempts being made to revive re-
lioious uuarrels in France

s'SEvEN years without birthday"
was the record of a Scottish clergyman
who died nearly thirty years ago. . A
writer in st. Nicholas says the state
ment puzzled most of those who heard
It At the present time there can be
very few, if there are any, who have
this tale to tell of themselves, for one
who can tell it must have been born on
the Goth of February at least ninety-six
years ago. But a similar line of missing
dates Is now soon to return; and, in
deed. there are no doubt some readers of
this page who will have only one BIRTH
day 70 celebrate for nearly twelve years
to come The solution of the puzzle is
to be found in the fact which does not
appear to be very widely known, that
the year 1900 was not a leap year, and
1900 viii not be.
