TRAINS WRECKED.
A Fatal Accident on the Wabash
Road.
1t Was Planned by Wreckers and Resulted
In the Fatal Injury of the Engineer

TOLEDO, O., Oct. Train No. 42 On
the Wabash railroad was wrecked yes
tcrday morning at Maumee, a small
town IL miles south Of this city. The
accident happened shortly before z
o'clock, and was the result of q well
Happily, albeit, miraculously the Pull
ans kept on the track, and the mail
and baggage cars, although badly
wrecked, did not contain any victims.
+. N. Smith, engineer, of Toledo, was
killed and A. II. Day, fireman, of To-
ledo, fatally injured. S. Holland, mail
clerk, of Cleveland, and F. J. Provost,
of Toledo, were slightly injured.
The wreck was planned by whoever
conceived the plot to occur ut the west
end of n long siding just beyond the
Maumee station. A rail at the lower
part of the switch target had been re-
moved and the switch was partly
thrown. The target indicated a clear
track and Engineer Smith was not
aware of any change in the situation
until his motor was humping along the
ties. As Oon as the train struck the
switch it leaped into the air, fell toward
the ditch and turned completely over.
The trucks Of the mail cars followed
the engine, but the AIRS themselves
went in an opposite direction. Under
them was found the dead body of
Engineer Smith and Fireman Day.
At the time Of the wreck the train
was running at its regular speed, and
1t is considered n miracle that no lives
were lost. The postal car and express
cars were torn from the trucks and
were lying side by side. The express
and baggage cars were literally reduced
to .splinters, although the occupants
escaped unhurt. There were several
passengers in the combination smoker,
which was wrecked beyond repair, yet
no scratches could be shown by any of
them. The passengers in the Pullmans
were only made aware of the accident
by the severe jolting which they ex-
perienced.

serenade at New windsor.

The antiquated and rather barbarous GUS
tom of serenading newly married couple
was exhibited in New Windsor on Friday
night last on the arrival of Mr. Joseph Shorb
and his bride, who were married few days
previous at Union Bridge. 1t was such a
surprise to the friends of both parties that a
warm welcome was determined upon upon the
return of the couple to their home in New
Windsor, particularly as it was the second
venture upon matrimony on the part of both
concerned. Upon their arrival, on Friday
evening of last week. they were received with
hearty reclamation and greeting by expectant
friends at the depot, and about 10 O clock at
night there was assembled before their resi-.
dence very large aud rare collection of adj
mirers (?) from all parts of the county. bring

and farming implements of every description;

the house, BY representatives from the vale

by a terrific Jewsburg whoop, followed by
music from the Band, and the bells rang.
drums beat, trumpets blared and the immense
horse fiddle dealt forth its resonant notes, the
sweetness of which came from large sugar
hogshead, which comprised the body of the
fiddle, and the bow was 16 feet long, of yell
low pine, requiring no Tosin. AT intervals
unearthy yells suggested the approach of
Buffalo Bill and his Indians, it took moment
to realize how perfectly New Windsor could
be identified with their Western brethren.
But Notwithstanding the immense crowd so
promiscuously assembled, and so eated by
the circumstances calling forth the assem-
blage, the excellent order prevailing suggested
the training of Thomas Orchestra of New
York. As regards the music, it does not adj
nit of comparison. At the interval in the
ceremonies the groom presented his genial
countenance and begged acceptance of his
hospitality.
