HONESDALE train WRECKED.
Passengers on the Erie Branch Have
Miraculous Escape Near
Indian Orchard.
Special to the Scru,toa Tribune,

HoNEsDALE, Jan. 3O-Conductor
Hardenburg's train on the Honesdale
branch of the Erie was wrecked at
Indian Orchard, about three miles be-
low here, at o'clock this evening
There We're about twenty passengers
on board the train, but beyond a Sc
we're shaking up none were severely
injured.
Dr. K. H. Gibbons, of Scranton, who
was returning home from a profss.
sional visit here, suffered a slight
bruse on the hip, and Baggage Master
Commit was hurt about the neck and
knee by being struck by a tub of butter.
AS the train was rounding curve at
Indian Orchard the rails spread and for
short distance the train bumped over
the railroad ties The engine became
separated from the baggage car and
plowed on along the rails, while the
cars left the tracks and ran into the
adjoining fields. The baggage car was
turned upside down, and the smoking
car landed on one of its sides. The pas
sengor coach carcened badly, frighten-
ing the occupants. The air brakes and
the steam heating apparatus between
the cars became separated.
The passengers were conveyed on the
engine to Hawley. This accident is the
first in the history of the Erie branch,
and no blame at all can be attached
either to Conductor Hardenburg or
Engineer Benjamin Gardner, who are
two of the Eries most trusted, faithful
and careful employees.

in the belief that another out.

probable. They state that several

tion today and that repairs are
in progress at those places damaged
or destroyed by the raiding rioters on
Saturday. While the officials are con-
fident tnat the rioters will not renew
their hostilities, deputies in sufficient
numbers to protect the coal interests
will be continued on guard for come
time to come.
The ruinous tour of the rioters means
further delay in the resumption Of
many managers, so that the 1900 or
more men who calculated on resuming
this week will be forced to remain idle.
Coal cannot be loaded until the burned
tipples are restored, which will require
four or five weeks in construction.
All of the prisoners thus far brought
to the county Jail from the Mansfield
Valley mining district charged with
unlawful acts connected with the
riots of last Saturday, were given
hearing in the Jail this afternoon.
Alderman MeMillen, of Mansfield,
presided at the hearing for the com.

diately before the grand jury, resulting
in the indictment of thirty-nine on the
charge of unlawful assembly and three

this number. twenty. six were Poland
ers, ten Frenchmen, three Aungsrians,
