Three Men Killed and Thirty Cars Wrecked

Three Men Killed and Thirty Cars Wrecked
on the Reading Railroad-FataI Wreck In
Arkansas.
SHAMoKIN. Pa, June S.-Elwood
Meyer, engineer; Elias Bolts, conduct
or, and William Klease, fireman, all of
Tamaqua, and part of the crew of the
Philadelphia 81 Reading railroad
freight train No ST, were instantly
killed by a rear-end collision near Lo-
Gust Dale early yesterday morning.
The freight train ran into a train load
of soft coal cars. The wreck occurred
on heavy grade and at sharp curve
in the road. and is one of the worst
wrecks that has occurred here for
many years. About thirty cars were
piled on top of each other, blocking
both the north and southbound tracks.
The body of klease was recovered
shortly after the wreck, but the wreck
ing crews did not reach the bodies of
Bolts and Meyer until several hours
after the accident. Both men were
beneath tons of wreckage and their
bodies were terribly mangled. 1t is
thought that the freight train was
running away when the crash came.
The tracks were torn up for quite
distance at the point where the wreck
occurred.

FOUND DEAD IN AN ALLEY.
rLit" Cook. a CoIored Man. Meets "a
Strange Death-POIice Investigating.

Lit Cook, a colored man, of whom little
Is known, was found dead in the alley in
the rear of the California House, on South
Illinois street, yesterday between II and /
o'clock, There is somewhat of a mystery
connected with the death, and Coroner Cas-
tor will make a thorough Investigation.
The police also have men at work on the
case, and effort will be made to learn how
and why Cook met his death. From what
could be gathered about the hotel Cook was
an occasional helper at the place, but has
been discharged a number of times because
of drunkenness. The employees say he was
drunk yesterday, and early in the morn
Ing was thrown from the premises. They
say he returned and went to the cellar,
where he found several bottles of medical
bitters, from which he drank freely. He
was next seen in the back yard of the
place apparently suffering great pain. The
attaches paid little attention to him, think
ing he was drunk. They now express the
belief that he died from.d drinking the Bit
ters.
Coroner Castor was unable to learn any
thing very tangible about the affair, every
body in the neighborhood seeming reticent.
He could not learn last evening who found
the body. The latter bore nc signs of vio-
lence. except a small bruise on the head,
which the Doctor thinks is too insignificant
TO have caused death. Patrolman Meyer
peter made inquiries, and In his reporteto
Superintendent Powell, last evening. says
he thinks the matter worthy of further in
vestigation. He claims to have evidence
that Cook and two or three attaches of the
hotel had trouble. and that Cook was for
chilly put from the house. One witness says
he was thrown out after being found in
the back yard sick. It l. nor known that
the dead man has any friends In this city.
He was about forty years old. The body
was taken in charge by Charles whitsett,
and an autopsy will be held to-day. At a
late hour last night no friends had APP
peafed 10 claim the body.

the Bible. He showed that it's power WAS
felt not only upon people as nations. out rs
families and individuals. He related an IL
lustration of the latter. An agent OF the
society some years ago was travelling
through Georgia when he came upon a di-
lapidated shanty with decay and poverty
showing in every part. There was not q
whole panel of fence about the yard, and
when he entered the house he found the
stencil almost unbearable. 1t was the home
of a poor white family. His first question
was to ask If any of the family could read.
The reply was that one of the sons, who
worked in a factory. at Atlanta, couii real
a little, and that he came home once a
month. The agent concluded to leave a
copy of the Scriptures, in the hope that
some good would come of it. Three Years
later he visited the same locality, and when
he approached the house 1t looked very iii
ferent. He thought that some new tenant
more thrifty than the last must have moved
into it. He asked how long the family hal
lived there. The reply was eleven years:
He asked what good fortune had happened
to the family to cause the change in the APP
