WITH A CRASH.
FREIGHT TRAINS CONE TOGETHER ON THE B.
60, YESTERDAY.
TIE Accident Occurred at Burton, at Six Veloci
in The Korning-FOrtunatsly None Of the
Employees Were Injured.

A serious railroad accident, which
might very easily have been a great
deal worse, occurred on the line OF the
b. & O., at Burton, about six O'Clock
yesterday morning.
None Of the employees Of the Company
were hurt, but two engines were dam
aged and two cars pretty well knocked
to pieces.
The accident seems to have occurred
through defective orders. as far as could
be ascertained yesterday.
Three trains were west-bound about
the hour named, in this order: A train
of thirty-fve empty refrigerator cars,
pulled by engine No. $50, Engineer
Horn, with engine No. 422, Eugiseer
Hite as eIper; train of twenty-four
coal cars, pulled by engine No. l,2Ol,
Engineer Hoge, with engine No
444, Engineer Sloan and Fireman
Hopkins, as helper; and a third
string OF freights, pulled by en-
CINE $40, Engineer Wayman, with
J engine No. 45s, Engineer Cbaddock as
helper. The las. named train had or
ders to meet and pass an east-boubd
freight. drawn by engine No. 500, Engi-
neer Elliott, at Burton, but Engineer
] Wayman says his orders said nothing
| about the other two trains, Wsyman
passed Elliott all right, and then pulled
out and his engine banged into Sloan's
helping engine, in the rear of the sec
ond freight. Fireman Hopkins had left
| his engine cab, and had gone into the
caooose. next his engine. He got warn
! ing of the coming danger and jumped,
Just as his engine was driven back on
| the caboose. The latter was broken tc
pieces, and both engines Nos. SAG
+, and 444 were badly damaged, and a
cegple OF cars shared the same fate
The wreck was soon cleared away, and
traffic was Sesuped as usual.

kilograms Last Night Announced Tnat
Twerty-three Feet Was Looked for at
Pittsburg.
The rains OF Friday and Saturday
were not expected to make over sixteen
or eighteen feet Of water in the river at
this point, not more than twelve feet
being looked for at Pittsburg. but the
big storms throughout Pennsyl-
vania yesterday have changed the
conditions, and last night the news
from Pittsburgh was that twenty.three
feet of water was looked for there,
while at Warren, Bradford, and other
Allegheny Valley points, the rain yes
terday was very heavy and all the
streams were booming.
OF course the floods about Williams
port will have no effect. the water run
ming off east through the Susquehanna,
but the storms about Bradford, and
elsewhere on the New York State line,
will swell the headwaters OF the Allie
ghsny, and will all pass this city.
Twenty.thres feet Of water at Pitts
burg will make thirty.three feet here,
judged by the result in 1891. January
?, 81, there were twenty-three feet SIX
inches Of water at Pittsourg, and the
next day at a. m. there was thirty
three feet nine inches at Wheeling.
First alarms from Pittsburg, in re-
cent years. have been exaggerated, and
perhaps there is more of guess at the
freshet up there, than anything else.

old pocketbook and pistol in Boone
county. Ia 1873. the body o. Peter
Showers was found one day in seclud-

he had evidently been murdered, but
by whom or for what cause has never
been discovered. The body was buried,
the coroner's jury failed to find clue
and the murder soon passed from the
minds OF those who knew OF 1t. One
day last week two little children OF
James Stollings were playing near the
place where Showers had oeen killed
when they found behind some rocks all
that was left Of the pocEetbook and
pistol that had once been his, They
were identified as his and the murder
was recalled, but there is now no bet
ter clue than there ever was before to
who the murderer was.

But They May Fraternizo and Always Do

see, picking up an English paper,
that Professor Huxley has been remark
ing upon the so-called equality OF men.
Surely 1t is a most excellent thing TO
remind ourselves from time to time
that man is not equal TO his brother
man, and never will be; that taking any
one faculty-say, that OF intellectual
vision, or breadth, or reasoning powers
no two men are equal.
Again, In physical powers, no two
men are equal. One might as well claim
equal stature for all men. And yet, In
this republic, they carve "Liberte, Egg
alite, Fraternite" on every church front.
| should like TO strike out the first two
words. and to retain the third, which
involves the first ana does not lay claim
to the second.
Catch words are hard to kill, yet they
are mostly nonsense. Meantime the
practical reiutation OF the alleged equal
ity lies in the fact that the world Is al
ways looking eagerly for a leader, some
one to whom it is not equal at all, but

Yesterday was Trinity Sunday, the
last feast of the ecclesiastical year in
the Catholic Church, and the services
were of unusual interest. RI. Rev.
Bishop Donahue celebrated early mass
at ST. Joseph's Cathedral, and spoke
briefly. He dwelt upon the mystery of
tbs Trinity, which he said is not coli
trary TO human reason, but above it.
II is revealed by an ilfalible teacher,
Jesus Christ himself, and Catholics ac-
cept it without question. There should
be more devotion TO the Trinity.

Grain Nay be Graded.

From the conflicting reports regarding
the effect of the grain aphis, it is impossi-
bic to determine whether the pest has done
serious damage not. From all portions
of the comfy we have heard that it had
worked sad havoc with both spring and fall
graiu and not only had its serious efec s
been notice,l upon the wheat, but upon the

A correct idea of the damage Of the aphis
will not be known until after She grain has
been threshed From the fact that the
pest sucked the sap while the wheat was
yet in the dough, it is generally supposed
that it will have a tendency to shriveI the
grain.anl thus reduce the yield and lessen
the price. Wherever the grain has been
similarly affected in the east, Prof. Wash
burn says it has been customary with
warehousemen to grade it, and it is probable
that the practice will prevail here this
summer. " hiie it is undo ubtedly true
that the grain effected by the pest should

there lie, may take advantage i,f the cir

grower, who has never before had expert

it has worked, and such will serve their
best interests by making careful investi-
cation Of the matter before disposing Of
their crops at u greatly reduced price.
