possibly some who may have been crushed

Both engineers and firemen jumped and
thus escaped being killed. The express

to give his name. The cars not damaged
were taken around by siding and sent on.
The loss by fire will be great as no water
can be had. though the fire department is
still on the scene.
The wreck was caused by the passenger
plunging at full speed into switch engine
that, with a caboose, was on the main
track. The scene of the wreck is near the
fair grounds and at the east end of the
switching yards. The switch engine and
caboose were demolished It is feared there
is long list of injured.

spread to the vandaja yards, which are
now said to be burning UP. The flames can
be seen from the city. It is also reported
that no one was killed.

ceived from the scene of the wreck says:
The express car was DESTROYED by fire and
the baggage car partly burned. NO one

There was to be a grand barbecue

Steve was nervy enough to attend the

The real and underlying reason for
their attempt to embarrass us by hold

audacty to make an improvement in
a mechanical way which they persist
emily refused to give to the public and
the players. That is In the matter of
a decent, lively. actionable cushion.
The billiard trust. like the whiskey
trust. the Standard oil octupus, the
sugar trust and other great corpora
tons, Is so strong that they thought
they could give the public what they
wanted in the wav Of tables and suffer
naught in consequence. They had a
complete monopoly and feared no RI
val. The result was that In the cush-
ion work of tables they used the cheap
est and poorest kind OF rubber and
other materials. They wanted to pro-
duce at the lowest cost and sell al the
highest profit. Naturally these cush-
ions which would be springy and live

From the Phfla delphia Times.
No one passing along Germantown

can fail to observe the dilapidated old
building which stands some distance
back from the street on the southwest
corner of Broad street and German
town avenue. The house presents a
striking appearance on account of its
pretentiousness. 1t Is built of stone,
three stories in height. with wide
spreading porch extending the full
length of the building and carried
around on the SIDE. ttsfs 1850
The old mansion was built between
rs and 100 years ago for inn purposes.
From the time of it's erection and for
40 or SO years afterward IL was the
only hosiery between the city proper
and Germantown. and consequently a
very popular roadhouse. IT'S convent
ence ito Broad street made II one OF
the greatest resorts Of the old times
for slefghing parties from the city, who
would drive out there on cold winter
evenings for good supper and some
thing hot and strong to quench the
thirst and warm the inner man.
Several years ago the property was
purchased by r. G. Palmer and George
A. Rice for s105.000. 1t was given out
at the time THAI MeSSrs. Palmer and
Rice intended TO construct large
mandatory on the property, but up
TO the present date this has not been
done. and the house is now occupied
by about so young colored men,, who
have formed a kind of community
among themselves in this old building.
These men rent the rooms separately
from the owners of the property. Some
club together to paw this rent, three or
four living in one room. while others
who are more prosperous pay for "a
room for themselves. The men are all
employed in various occupations in the
vicinity of the building where they re-
side, and the majority of them earn
good wages. II one happens to get out
OF work. If popular with the rest, he is
usually assisted by the crowd to pay
his board until he can secure work
again. when he is expected to reim-
burse those who have helped him.
AS a rule the cooking for the crowd
is done by one man. who is delegated
by lot or some such arrangement to
cook for the household for a. week.
Among the appointments of the house
is a chapel, where service is held ev-
cry Sunday. a colored preacher being
brought out from the city for that pur-
pose. There is a barber shop also in
the house and an oyster saloon, where
the men, when particularly flush, can
regale themselves on a stew of the
choicest biyalves.
