And a Foolish aborer Killed on the
d., l.. & w. by Curiosity.
ITHACA, NY, June 81, 1S94.-At three
o'clock this morning a north-bodnd freight
train, consisting of sixteen cars, was wrecked
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad about a mile
south of this city. The cars were very
nearly all demolished, two being smashed
into splinters, the others more or less bat
battered. Fortunately the cars were all
empty. The accident was caused by a broken
wheel.
The cars were piled one on top of the other
three high. The crew were in the caboose
and .unhurt. Out of the wreck, %uninjured,
were pulled two tramps and two boys, sons
of railroad men. Wrecking trains were
sent from Sayre and Geneva and the wreck
age cleared away by nine o'clock. The only
train delayed was the Philadelphia and New
York flyer to Buffalo, made two hours late.
Parallel with the Lehigh Valley tracks at
this point run the tracks of the D.. L. q w.
Railroad. A Train on this road, conveying
a gang of bridge laborers. passed the wreck.
Some of the men were sitting on top of the
cars. and one of them stood up to lock at the
wreck. His head came in contact with a
bridge the next moment and he was instantly
killed. His name was Henry c. Meth. He
was employed by the d.. u w. and board
ing in Ithaca, but leaves a wife and two
children who reside in Bath. n Y. His re-
mains will be taken to Bath this afternoon.

NATIONAL GUARD DOINGS

Major General Plume has issued the an
nual encampment order for the New Jersey
National Guard. This year the Second
Brigade will occupy Camp Werts at Sea Girt
and the Jersey City guardsmen viii be there
only for rifle practice. The encampnent
will begin Monday, July Is, and end on the
following Saturday. Rifle practice, accord
ing to division orders, begins July 8 ana
ends August 81.
The guardsmen of the State are partlcu-
larry interested in the coming camp, because
General Sewell, who will be in command OF
the brigade, has determined to Ell
force the s~trictest discipline ever
vet maintained in any camp. He
has always been a stickler for stern military
discipline and has tabooed the social features
of camp life. He has never attended the
Governors ball, nor does he participate In
any of the little side shows that make camp
life easy and attractive.
General Sewelrs strict discipline, however,
has had a marked effect on the Brigade, and
1t always received more praise than the
First Brigade on account of the better dis
cipline. But General Wanser has not yet had
an opportunity to demonstrate his ability.
The poor showing made by the First Brigade
last year was due largely to the hard work
and poor rations which the men had TO en-
dure. With General Wanser in command a
better state of affairs can be looked for.
Among the reforms that General Sewell
will ~inaugurate is hat of temperance.
There will be no exchange OF courtesies
among officers on the back tent basis. Here
tofore every officer, from a second lleuten-
ant to the brigadier general, had a well
stocked wine cellar under the floor OF his
tent, and the example of the officers had its
effect on the subordinates, who. unable to
enjoy the luxury of q private wine cellar,
had to walk a mile to Manasquan for a
drink.
General Sewell's order is to be mandatory
that no LIQUOR shall come into camp, and all
that will be needed for medical purposes
will have to be obtained at the hospital or
from the surgeon.
The new club house of the New Jersey
Rifle Association is almost ready for occu-
pancy. The structure tends considerably to
beautify the camp ground, and will no
doubt be a busy place during the season of
rife practice.
Cavalry Company A, better known as ''The
Essex Troop,d which will go into camp on
general orders, being the only cavalry COM
pany of the State. They will bring with
them some fine horses. The company has
become a valuable acquisition to the Ma
tional Guard, and part of the money APP
propriated by the recent Legislature
will be devoted to arranging suitable
| stables for their horses and fixing up a nice
practice ground for them at che lower end
of tie camp ground. There will be some
changes made in the mess halls, and those
| erected will be of a more permanent charac-
ter than those now in existence. General
Donnelly has secured a new flag staff, which
was a mast Of a schooner recently wrecked
off Of Manasquan. Company E of the
Fourth Regiment of this city has accepted
the invitation to Sake the place of a dis
banded company of the Sixth Regiment at
camp.

POISONS IN AIR And WATER.
The Very Fact That They Are I'm.

the More Dangerous.

The Very Fact That They Are I'M
seen and Unsuspecred Makes Them
the More Dangerous.
s'Nearly everybody is in great danger just
at this time
The speaker was one OF the leading physl-
eians in New YORK.
ssWith the malaria in the air and the danger
in the water" he continued, people need to
exercice the greatest caution and care. The
trouble with these things is that they come
unawares and are oftened nnsuspected. b
germs OF malaria are drawn IN by every
breath, the seeds of disease are spread by
each swallow of water"
The doctor looked thoughtful for a mo-
ment, and then continued, there is but one
way to prevent these dangers and that IS to
be watchfull. Instead of drinking of iced
water and other things all the while. and IN
place of permitting hot and foul air tospread
malaria in the system, people should be
watchful and check these things on the start.
There is but one way that this can be done
and that is by the use of some pare stimu-
liant constantly OF when the slightest feeling
of sickness appears. The only preparation
which has ever been known to certainly
counterfeit these troubles In time, Is that
great, that popular whiskey, Duffyis Pure
Malt. It has been used by the public OF
America for over twenty years, and has
proven its surprising merits only by what IL
lis accomplished.
If men and women would counterfeit the
deadly germs in the water at this season OF
the year by mixing Dutfy's Pure Malt with
it. they need have little fear of low fevers or
malaria. It should be born in mind, how
ever. that it is only Duffy's Pure Nal
Whiskey that will accomplish this. and that
however much druggists or grocers may say
to the cdsltrary, it alone can be depended
upon.

COURAGEOUS REBHCCAS
Lady Oddfsllows to Appeal to
the Sovereign Lodge for
the ~0rphanage.

The Hudson County Oddfellows' fight for
an orphanage to be built at Arlington was
taken up by the Ladies' Order Rebecca) last
night at the regular meeting of the Hudson
County Orphanage Association held in
Fishers Hall.
Rebocca Order is a branch of the Odd
follows Association, governing itself and q
perfectly Independent body. Its members
having viewed the attempt OF the smaller
lodges In the State to down Hudson county.
will appeal to the grand officers to restrain
these interlopers from interfering with the
work of pushing the orphanage.
Should the decision from grand officers be
u~nfavorable, the ladies will carry their ap-
peal to the Sovereign Lodge Of the Order
which meets In Indianapolis in October next.
Justice will be done Hudson County before
that tribunal from whose decisions there Is
no appeal.
The site at Arlington to cost $500 is still
free, and the Hudson County Association mas
paid a deposit of $3.50 for the ground, but
the interference Of outside lodges hindered
the completion Of the scheme. Surprising
that the Sovereign Lodge does not give per-
mission to build the State Orphanage at AT,
lington, Hudson and Essex Oddfellows Will
build one for themselves.
"Parodying an old lingo song" said FL
nancial Secretary Joseph E. Bernstein, whose
restless energy is being applied to the scheme.
"We nave got the men, we've got the brains
and we've got the ability to do it."
Immediately the decision of the Grand
Officers is received work will begin ON the
new orphanage either for the State or for
Hudson and Essex counties.
The important question at least tenn
porarily disposed of, the association de-
voted the remainder of the evening to the
hearing of reports read from the Special
Committee on Orphanage, and one from the
Grand Lodge in reference to the same mat
ter.
There were seventy-ive delegates present
in addition to these oficers:-O. Busslng,
President; Mrs. Stage, Vice-President; Mrs.
T. Pullen, Secretary, Il Mr.. Joseph b.
Rernstein. Financial Secretary.
