GREAT SNOW SLIDES
BloCkaded the Philadelphia and Erie
Railroad Yesterday.
PASSENGER TRAINS IN PERIL
The Terrible Plight of a Runaway
Electric Oar at Kingston, New
York-Pluck Of the Crew-A
Serious Coasting Accident on
Long Island.

REMOVE, PA, January 6.-Snow
slides covering five miles, few miles
west OF Lockhaven, on the Philadelphia
81 Erie Railroad, blocked traffic this
morning. While freight train, east
bound, was running along the base
of the snow-cspped Alleghenies, with
the bound Susquehanna below, 1t was
suddenly submerged by an avalanche
OF dry, slecty snow, between Richie
and Hyner. The train was covered al
most its entire length. Crews from the
east and from the west, to the number
of several hundred trainmsH, came TO
the rescue and worked the train
through the snow slides for a distance
OF five miles. Meanwhile the Erie mail
train, with large number of passe n
gers, lay at this place forty-eight hours.
The mail train run the gauntlet and
scIaped the white walls, which pressed
threateningly against the windows, al
most crushing them. The train was in
imminent danger OF being eugulfed or
hurled down the bank into the river.
Hundreds of me are standing ready to
rush to the engulfed trains, tonight,
as the danger IS great.

4 RUNAWAY CAR

Travels Along tho Streets of Kingston,
y. Y, at the Rate of q Mile = Minute
Representation Passengers - Serious
Results.
KINGSTON, y. Y, January Ga seri-
Gus accident occurred on the Kingston
electric street railway this morning.
The lower portion Of the road is very
steep grade along the lower end OF
Broadway. Near the top of the hill is =
switch. When car No. l, in charge OF
Conductor James Norton aud Motorman
Charles Link, reached this point going
down, it was found that the brake would
not hold the car. The motorman made
frantic efforts TO get control of his car,
but the ice had gotten between the
brake and the wheels TO the extent that
the sand box seemed TO have no effect
There were five passengers aboard, and
they made desperate attempts to jump
from the flying car, but were prevented
for a time. Finally one man, L. L.
Ostrander, sprang for his life and land
ed safely In snow bank. Two OF the
passengers were ladies', and they were
kept In the car by the conductor, who
stuck to his post, as did also the motor
man.
BY this time they were moving at
the rate OF a mile minute, and many
spectators gazed in horror al the runa-
way, which looked every moment as
though it would dash into one of the
buildings that lined the road down the
hill. The car kept the raj, however,
uRtll the sharp curve at the foot or the
hill was reached. Right here the track
leads into Ferry street, on one side OF
which stands she building Of the Cor
nell Steam boat Company. The runa-
way dashed over this curve at terrific
rate and plowed halfway through the
towing Office, knocking downs a
huge iron pillar in its flight.
The motorman was seriously in
iured about the skull, and he has
been unconscious ever since and Is
likely to die. Conductor Norton came
through safely. Mrs. James Seifforth
was seriously shocked and received a
number of Injuries. Her sister, who
was also ia the car, was severely bruised,
but not seriously. Two gentlemen from
Germantown jumped just before the car
struck and escaped with slight injuries.
Motorman Link was taken TO the city
hospital, but the others did not require
much attention. The car was badly
smashed and considerable damage was
done by the collision.

A STRONG PROTEST
Made by a. r. As Odd Fellows and
Other Secret Orders Against the Papal


Made by y. p. AS, Odd Fellows and
Other Secret Orders Against the PapaI
EdIct.
TACOMA, WASH, January Ga
meeting attended by fully two thousand
people was held in Armory Hall this
afternoon, under the auspices of the A.
P. A., the Knights of Pythias, the Odd
Fellows ard Sons of Temperance,
TO protest against the recent
edlct of the Pope, placing
the latter three secret societies under
the ban OF the Catholic Church. G. w.
Van Fossen, President OF the State A.
2. A, made speech of half hours du-
ration, reviewing papal interference in
the affairs Of European countries and
the United States. G. w. Gallagher, a
congregational minister, spoke in behalf
OF the Odd Fellows. He declared this
order was thoroughly Christian and en-
tirely humane in teaching and prac-
tice. Ee briefly reviewed its history
and enumerated its charitable
deeds. Why the Pope did not want
the Catholics to be Odd Fellows he
said was because the Catholic Church,
to exist, must contine the mental vision
of its mem 0ers to the narrow channels
of ignorance, superstition and fear. To
go into Odd Fellowship broadened a
mans mind, aud therefore untitled him
to be a Catholic.
Rev. b. f. BATTERY, Congregational
minister, spoke briefly as Son of Tenn
perance. 1t stood the Pope well in
hand TO place temperance under the
ban, he declared, since four-tlfths OF the
keepers of dives, saloons and gambling
joints are members OF the Catholic
church.
he was willing to let any American to
hold whatever religious Views he
pleased, but the Pope and the Catholic
Church must keep their hands oil OF
Amrican institutions.
State Senator Edward Taylor,
knight of Pythias, created much mer-
riment by charging Mr.. Van Fossen
and Representative Fred Taylor, Pres
ident and Secretary of the State A.
p. A., with bribing the Pope to
issue his edict so as TO drive all Cath
olics from their societies into the A.P. A.
the only society left not under the ban.
The senator said that the Pope edict
had made A. 2. A. $ out of the 50,000,-
600 Protestsnts and half of the 10000
600 Catholics In the United States. The
only Catholics who upheld IL was the
ignorant and foreign born.

The River at Clarksburg and Weston Very
High---A Portion of Weston Flooded
Bridges Endangered on the Railroads

CLARKsBURG, W. VA, January g.
At midnight tonight the West Fork
river Is fifteen feet two inches, and ris-
ing rapidly at the headwaters. There
is much destruction OF property along
the line OF the river above this
place. and particularly at Weston,
where the entire lower por-
tlon OF the city is reported TO be flooded
already, an all the railroad and county
bridges are in danger OF being washed
away. Persons living in the lowlands
along the river are preparing In not
haste to vacate their residences to-
night, and there Is every indication OF a
food that will equal the one OF 1883.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, January 6.-At
midnight there is serious apprehen-
sion OF another flood. AT o'clock
the Ohio was eight feet five
inches. AT midnight il was four
teen feet five inches and the indications
were that the rise would average
over foot an hour the rest
of the night aud for some days
to come. II would take only a
day of such rising to reach the danger
point OF forty feet Of water. In Feb
ruarv. 1884. the river reached its high
asst water mark here of 72 feet.
The river is now 16 feet inches,

AN OLD STORY
Of a Horrible Nature, Reported from Some
Obscure West Virginia Locality, Which
May or May Not Be True.

CHARLESTON. w. VA, January g.
The story of a startling outrage was re-
ceved here to-day from Updike river.
AT Coonskin, about q, N. Of December
29th, four men went to the house OF
John Mourning, a harmless white man,
who lives alone. Dragging him from
bed. they tried to make him confess the
murder OF Simon Wallace and his mother,
in a suburb of this city, four years ago.
Mourning denied all knowledge OF the
crime. whereupon the men put a, rope
about his neck AID hung him to raf-
ter Of his house. Taking him down, he
still asserted his innocence, and ignor-
ance, whereupOn he was strung up
again and this time when taken down
was unconscious. The men laid him
down and left him half naked
as he was, lying on the
floor, the thermometer registering sew
eral degrees below zero. When found
by neigh bors several hours later he was
still unconscious, and his legs were
frozen TO above bis knees, and his ears
and hands were frozen. He was taken
to a friends house, and his condition is
still critical. A deputy sheriff and
representative of the prosecuting attor-
ney have left for Coonskiu, and thor
ough investigation will be made.
