CARS AND HOUSES IN ASHES,
A Railway Disaster Results in Heavy LOSS
tn a PENNSYLVANIA Town.


WuKEsRARRE. Pa, Dec - fright
ful accident occurred on the Lehlgh
Valley Railway at White Haven at 4
O'Clock this morning. A freight tram
bound east broke in half about mile
north of White Haven. The engineer
in charge did not notice that the train
was disconnected, and proceeded on
his way. A fagman and brakeman
were on the rear end OF the
train and they made every effort TO
bring the runaway cars, which were 60
inc down grade at rapid rate, to stop.
They had nearly succeeded when
wrecking engine No. III came along be-
hind. The fagman Of the runaway
train was busy putting on the brakes
and was not at his post to signal trains
following. The engineer of the wreck
engire says he saw no signal ahead ana
while running thirty miles an hour he
dashed into the caboose of the runaway
train. which had now almost been
brought to a standstill. The engine
plowed it's way through the caboose
and four cars ahead, finally landing III
the principal street of the town, which
runs parallel with the railroad. The
stove in the caboose set tire to
the wreck and in a short time the
flames communicated to the dwelling
houses along the street. Ruhnke's
Hotel, the largest in the town, was
soon ablaze. Z. Wricker's livery stable
and grocery store next caught. The
fire department worked hard and pre-
vented the spread of the flames. The
hotel was entirely destroyed as were
the livery stable and grocery store.
The loss is estimated at $2l 600. 1t Is
feared that two or three men are buried
in the wreckage, which is being cleared
up as soon as possible. The ttagman
and brakeman of the train have not
been seen since the accident occurred.
This is is the most disastrous wreck that
has occurred since the strike began.
Another costly wreck occurred early
this morning on the Lehigh at Easton,
in which two engines and President
Wilbur's private combination car, the
Engine No. 1872 going east overlook
coal train at Greensbridge, n. j., two
and q half miles from Easton. Seeing
that the crash was inevitable
the engineer reversed his engine
and with the fireman jumped and
saved his life. The engine then started
backward at a terrific rate Of speed and
at Stockton Street crossing, Phillips
bnrg, crashed inso the Dorothy" the
crew of which jumped when they saw
the runaway coming. The 1872 being
the heaviest of the two locomo-
tives succeeded in pushing the
m Rer0th{ T. back {hs d s5he Of stt two
crossing, South Easton, we're they col
lided with engine AL, drawing an east
bound coal train. Railroaders say that
the engines went past the Easton station
at rate of fully fifty miles an hour.
The wreckage is strewn along the tracks
for great distance. Strange to say
none of the engines left the track. The
crew of engine 1872 bas not been found.

BLAZE IN A SUPERIOR ELEVATOR.
Explosion of Mill Dust Causes a $4,000

WEST SUPERIOR, Dec. IA general
alarm of fire was turned in yesterday,
calling the whole West Superior fire de-
partment to the East End. This was
after it was found that the engines at
the latter place could not cope with
a fire in the cupola of the
Listman mill elevator. The fire was
caused by an explosion of mill dust on
the fourth floor. A hot box On one Of
the bearings of the dust collector was
responsible for the disaster. 1t was
bitterly cold-below zero-and the work
Of the tiremen was embarrassed in
consequence. Between two and three
hours work was necessary to quench
the flames. The loss is over $1,000 to
the building and machinery, and be-
Sides the Lstman mill will have to shut
down for week or ten days.
La CROSSE, Wis, Dec. 1.-Fire dam

Michel this morning to the extent of
