Did Not Heed Danger Signals.

The team drove to within a few feet of
the crossing and stopped to allow freight
to pass. White jumped out Of the wagon
and attempted to board the train but fell.
Just then the freight engine began to give
short whistles.
Prindle, who has worked on the rail
road, knew that was danger signal and
warned his companions against proceeding
until both tracks were clear. They laughed
at him, however, and no sooner had the
caboose of the freight passed than they
whipped up their horses to cross the tracks.
Prindle was alarmed and begged the
men to stop. They continued on their
way, but no sooner had they gained the
tracks than the passenger train, which had
been hidden from their view by the freight
cars, dashed into them. There was q
Short blood-curdling cry, a terrific crash,
and four men were hurled to death.
1t was the worst accident that has oc-
Cured in this vicinity in many years, and
both Pownal and Williamstown We're
greatly excited over it.

Railroad Not to Blame.

1t appears that absolutely no blame at
taches to the railroad company William
Blake, who resides within stones throw
of the accident, and who heard the crash,
is positive that the engineer of the pas
senger train whistled at the proper dis
tance from the crossing.
Prindle distinctly remembers the warn
ing whistles, while the other survivor
could not be found this evening, and
nothing could be learned at Williamstown
concerning the families of the dead men.
Prindle's escape from death was re-
markable. He lost both feet in railroad
accident some time ago, and how he
jumped from the wagon to safety is a
mystery.
He appeared dazed when interviewed,
and could scarcely realize the terrible
fatality, but he told his story in a straight
forward manner, and it agreed with that
of other witnesses.
AS soon as possible the train was stopped
and several people rushed to the scene
The bodies were taken out from among
the wreckage, and borne to the baggage
car and thence to the Pownal (Vt.) sta
ton, half mile beyond. Later they We're
taken in charge by Undertaken Comisky
of North Adams, and removed to that
place.
1t is stated that both engineers whistled
and rang the bell at the proper distance
from the crossing, but that these signals
were either not heard or were disregarded
by the men in the carriage.

INSTANT DEATH.
Four Men Run Down by Fitch

Attempted to Cross Track In a Carriage
Scene of the Catastrophe a Dangerous
Spot Near Williamstown.
WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, July 22.-The
"Dugaway," a place two miles west OF
this town, was the scene of terrible grade
crossing accident yesterday afternoon
Four men were instantly killed and two
others escaped death by the merest chance.
The dead are: Oliver Dudley, clerk
in Cavanaugh's grocery store at North
Adams; Peter Rolfe, Nelson Trudeau and
- Tatro, employees in Cady's shoe shop
and Edward White'of North Adams were
the fortunate men.
The party was returning from a drive
to Pownal, VT, and had stopped few
feet from the crossing to allow an east
bound freight to pass. Passenger train
157, Engineer Weatherby, west bound,
came laundering down the other track,
but was hidden from the fated party by
the freight.
The carriage was directly across the
tracks when the engine struck it. Prindle
and White had just time to jump, thereby
saving their lives. The other men, with
the carriage and one of the horses at
tached, were hurled into the air and came
down in an indescribable heap. Dudley
was the only who breathed after the acci-
dent, and he expired after a few brief
gasps. The others lay as they fell, among
the broken and twisted remnants of the
carriage in which they had been driving.
The mangled carcass of the horse lay q
little to one side, while beside and still at
tached to it by the harness stood its mate,
uniniured.

THE island FERRY.
IHE BOAT BROUGHT UP SUNDAY FROM
WEST WHEELING
And Will be Running Again To-morrow-A Meet
ing Of the Directors Held Last Night
Business Transacted.

The Island ferryboat was brought up
Sunday from West Wheeling, and
during the day was putting the floats
in proper position. The boat has not
been running since the river closed,
and Island citizens have been Compel
ed to pay toll on the bridges. Last
night the Directors of the Island
Bridge and Ferry Company held q
meeting at the office of DR.. Meyers, on
South Penn street, for the purpose OF
discussing the financial condition OF
the ferry company, and making ar
rangements to place the boat in opera

Alarge amount of stock has been
subscribed in the auxiliary company
but owing to the fact that the subscrip-
ZION papers are in different hands, II
! is impossible to approximate the ag-
gregate sum. The subscriptions were
not as numerous or as large as the pro
jectors of the auxiliary company plan
had hoped and expected. 1t is under
stood, however. that many persons are
waiting until the boat is started before
subscribing for stock.
1t was in this light that the situation
was discussed by the Directors last
night. They decided to make all nee
essary arrangements to-day for run

will be on the boat both days to look
after the subscriptions.

THE kITTANNING Gorge
has NOT YET BROKEN, AS.WAS REPORTED
YESTERDAY.
az Ice Passing Here Though! to % From Kiitannin

RsSuming

There was a report current in the
city last evening to the effect that the
big gorge in the Allegheny river at
Kittanning had broken Sunday night.
and that the ice which was passing
here last evening was from there.
Capt. John Crockard. of the wharf
boat, telephoned TO Pittsburg in re-
gard to the matter, and received the
information that there was no truth
in the report, and that the ice which
was passing here was very likely from
Cheat river, which had broken up Sat
urday and was about due here last
night.
Word was received yesterday that
the gorge at Ford City. below Kittan-
ming, had broken, but that the Kittan-
ming gorge was still solid and would
probably not give way for a day or
two yet unless the weather became
much warmer. There is at present %
feet of water reported above the gorge,
and the inhabitants all along the val
ley are becoming much alarmed over
the situation, and many of them have
moved TO the hills for safety.

The Collapse of Colonization

A number of refugees from the
 the negro colony in Mexico have reached Houston, Texas, and re port terrible tales of suffering, de-
 privation and absolute slavery among the eolouistS. Nearly 1900
 negroes were taken into the State of Durango, under glittering promises of bountitul crops 4and early independence, and those who
 have been fottuate enough to get away say the others are held in abject slavery. Most of them are sick and without medical atten- ton. Their rations are a small piece of meat, a handful of coarse meal and a handful of beans each day.

Times are indeed hard. I was at church yesterday; there was nothing new there to show that spring, beautiful, delightful spring had emerged from it's mouth of ice and snow. In the afternoon I listened to the conversation of some nice, good girls. There would be no new hats, no new dresses this spring and yet they were so bright and cheerful, their merry laughter rang out as fre- quently as if cotton were ten cents per pound. The dear girls; but it is not of girls, but of hard times I wish to write
 Crokors. quacks and even wise men talk and write about our pro duction of cotton. 70, you must reduce the acreage of cotton and raise all you need at home." It is true we can raise most of what we need at home, and ought to raise more than we do, but we can buy our four, rice, sugar and coffee and many other little necessities, even with cotton at four cents easier than we can raise them. Most of these things our land does not produce successfully, and we have no mills or machinery here, and our farmers have no money to buy them. The railroads in this state as it seems everything else is, are controlled by monopolies, so when we sent friend only fifty miles away, a barrel of potatoes the freight was as much as she could buy them for at her door. Ii is plain it would not pay us to raise anything 10 pass over the rails.
 Over production of cotton is simply nonsense. Why there is not one family in ten who live in the country that could not use tv ice as much cotton cloth as they do if they could get 1t. In the majority of families, mothers must spend one day out oi every week and then can barely keep and children decent; and among the colored people it Is even worse. What WIG need is
