A BAD WRECK AT PALMYRA.
Two Persons Killed and Many Injured on
the West Shore.

Two Persons Killed and Many Injured on
the West Shore.
PALMYRA, N. Y, Feb. 22-Just as the
day express bound west on the West Shore
was rounding a curve near here broken
rail threw the entire train down an EN-
bankment into creek below. Conductor
NJ. H. Douglass was in charge of the train
Engineer Pearsall and Fireman Mintle of
the first engine stuck to their posts and
were buried under their engine, which
turned upside down. They are both in
jured Engineer Pearsall had his leg broken
and was frightfully cut.
Signalman Myers and Baggageman Riley
were the first out of the cars after the fall
and hurried to the assistance of the in
Jured. Several passengers were chopped
from under the wreck, and others were
taken out through the windows.
Messengers were sent here for help. Re
lief parties, with surgeons and ambulances,
were hurried to the wreck. The first body
found was that of a middle aged man who
is supposed to live in Chicago. He was cut
in two. Near him was found Polish wom-
an with her children. She was badly in
jured, and one child was dead. The in
jured were removed to the Powers hotel
which was turned into a hospital and
were cared for by physicians from Palmy-
ra and Rochester. 1t is believed that
several bodies will be found under the
wreck, as eight are missing.

READING is back to the receivers
hands for the third time, and the only
surprise connected with the crash is that
it was not greater. The poor old rotten
and bankrupt corporation, backed and
bolstered up by the leading and most
daring schemers who could be bought tc
work for it, could not stand out any
longer and defy public opinion, which in
this case has proven stronger than the
law of Pennsylvania. The cost of the
"deal'' to the people is inestimable, but
it will be well worth the price if it ad-
vances one step the demand for govern
mental control of railroads. That is the
only plan yet known to save the country
from the whims and wiles Of the rail-
road gluttons who do not know when
they have enough.

Here Is Room for Argument.

Jim Sweeney, the PIatn Speaker's Har-
risburg correspondent, has the following
to say in letter to that paper on Mon
day:
On the subject of new county we may
further say that everything at present is
looking very bright for the scheme.
The opposition to it is being made from
Drifton, where it seems a literary bureau
has been established, which is filling the
legislature with type written letters,
many or all of which are attempting to
spread information, which the advocates
of the new county say abounds with that
which is not true.
Representative Jeffrey, who came into
possession of some of these documents, is
hopping mad about reference to him
self. The letter purports to come from
an employe of the Drifton company, and
alleges that Mr.. jeffrey, during the cam
paign, pronounced himself against the
new county.
Mr.. jeffrey strenuously denies this,
and says that the day he was nominated
by his party in Hazleton, he then gave
it out that he was for a new county, and
not at any time afterwards did he by
word or action try to dispel the impress
sion then created and his action now in
forcing the new county bill is an
evidence of his sincerity at all times.
There are other things in these epistles
from Drifton that ruffle the temper Of
Representative Jeffrey and make him
the more determined in pushing his bill
through the house.
The above would be quite convincing
if it were not for the fact that there is
another side to be heard from. The
editor of the White Haven Journal is
considered one OF the most reliable jour
nalists in the state, and seldom makes
assertions without having the proof to
snbstantiate them. His issue of the l1th
inst. contained the following;
We, as expressing the views of the
constituents OF Mr.. jeffrey, are astound-
ed to find him as the exponent of the
Halle county bill. He led the farmers
of East Foster to believe, in his cam
paign, that he was opposed to the new
county; that Mr.. Reilly was its special
champion. If he had taken any other
course he could not have gotten vote
in East Foster.
1t will not do for him to say that he
does this to accommodate his Hazleton
friends, because if be had depended on
them in the election he would not have
gone back to Harrisburg. Mr.. Jeffrey
had very few friends in Hazleton on
election day, and Mr.. Reilly had very
few in Freeland and Foster. And why?
Because Hazleton was for the new coun-
ty and Reilly was for the new county;
and Freeland and Foster were against
the new county and Jeffrey was against
the new county. What has so suddenly
and ungratefully changed Mr.. Jeffrey's
views? Will he explain, or will he per
init his constituents to surmise why he
has changed?

PITTsBURG, Feb. 21.-Hugh Dempsey,
the district master workman of the
Knights of Labor, who was recently con
victed of completely in the Homestead
poisonings, was arrested again last even
ing and lodged in Jail, the charge being
felonious assault and battery. There is
good deal of mystery surrounding the ar
rest, and all parties concerned refuse to
talk. The process was issued by Judge
Stowe shortly after the hearing on the ap-
plication of Dempsey for a new trial. The
accused was admitted to bail in the sum
of $500, and his arrest was surprise.
While the judges did not indicate what
their decision would be, the impression
made by their manner in meeting the
points of the defense was that the applica-
tion would be refused.

stead of melting the men to riot, he ad-
vised them to withdraw and not attack the
Pinkertons.
