CHICAGO. July 6.-'Strecter's original
railroad collision" took place Saturday at
Cicero at Ash p. III. While 1t lasted it
was exciting enough for the most jaded
nerves. Two locomotives fairly vibrat-
ing under their steam prcssures, dashed
headlong at each other on u piece of level
track Mt more than race horse speed. For
n few moments there was suspense, then
came dull roar, lcaping of iron giants
into the air, swirl Of black and brown
dust, curtaining everything, burst of
Kissing stcam--and all was over. This
unique spectacle Chicago genius devised
to drive away onnui brought more than
2O,Oo0 people to the canvaswal!ed oblong
on the Ridgcland branch of the Chicago
and Northern Pacific.
The collision took place $50 feet froru
the spectators and unlike the Columbus,
o.. show no one was hurt. When the 10,
comotivcs struck their forward trucks left
their pivots and flew forward, smashing
the cowcatchcrs between them. The
boilers fell to one side, forming an angle in
the space Of which the trucks remained
practically OH the track. The body of one
tender. leaving its platform under a
freight car that telescoped it, slid uT
around the boiler of its engine. The driv
ing wheels of that engine remained true
to their fas.cnings and buried themselves
in the dirt on one side and projecting high
| in the air on the other. Where the cab OF
/ either engine went is one of the nystcrie:
of the collision.
The tender of the second engine turned
on its side, met the freight car behind i
| and the two formed an A. the iron ant
| wood Of both being badly smashed. The
| platform OF the tender broke in two, ant
the two trucks piled one upon the othel
very neatly. Back of them n truck of tn,
freight car was stood on end. The car
were arranged in zigzag fashion, on,
| thrown to the right. the next to the left
| the third to the right, and in some case
the side force broke the tlangcs of tn,
wheels, although it did not injurc th
track mt any point. All the ears cxcep
second in the western train were badl,
broken up.

on Their Own Account.
WASHINGTON, July Ga special to The
Post from Rockville Md, says: The ex-
element caused by the lynching of the
negro sydney Randolph, Saturday, which
had almost entirely died out, was stirred
to high pitch last night when it became
rumored that the colored people in the
vicinity OF Gaithersburg had organized a
party and were coming to Rockville to
lynch II. l.. Buxton, the father of the
Buxton family that was assaulted. AS
soon as the authorities here were apprised
of this rumor steps We're taken to prevent
a recurrence of the events of Saturday
The deputy sheriff quickly informed a
number of the citizens that their services
might be needed, and then told Buxton OF
his danger, advising him to leave on the
next train for Washington Buxton
seemed quite nervous and excited, but pro
tested against going to Washington. Ar
rivals from Gaithersburg stated that the
rumor of the intended outbreak among the
negroes had reached them, and that q
party of 200 men had been armed and pu,
on their guard.
They informed Buxton that if he would
accompany them back to Gaithersbure
they weuld guarantee to protect him
Buxton went to Gaithersburg, where h,
spent the night with friends. guarded b!
able-bodied men. There is no doubt thai
the colored people Of the county are yer!
indignant at the lynching Of Randolph
and they are open in their denunciation.o

ter against Buxton. claiming that h
knows more about the affair than he i

TO A CRITIC.

In reading DER the things I've wraBE lind
them all so vile
cannot disagree with you who say need
style,
Who say a sense of humor would not hurt
my stuff a bit;
But, woe is me. you do not tell me where to
go for 1t.
I've tried the big department stores without
the least success;
They keep all things from picked CLANS
and novels up to dress;
They've everything man can want, each
new thing meath the sun,
But not a nook with Styles on Sale, nor
any Sense of Fun.
I've tried the wholesale druggists in the
hope of finding pills
Which, taken fore and after meals, might
mitigate my ills;
But every time I've asked for these, in
places five or six.
They've most impertinently classed me
with the Iunatics.
Is there place upon this earth where one
who thirsts for fame
Can go and purchase what he needs to use
to quench the same?
Pray where can this prescription that
you've kindly made for me
Be taken for compromising to relieve my
misery?
o critic, If you know the source of dear
Pendennis' mode,
Pray let me know the shortest cut, please
start me on the road;
Pray let me know where may go to buy q
drachm or two
OF that which still for Addison makes low
ers tried and true.
And is there left in this wide world bit OF
that rich store
OF humor that makes kindly Lamb so well
come to each door?
Can these-O critic, tell beg-for love or
cash be bought?
Or is there some contag ion blest by which
they may be caught?
o literary doctor, since you've ventured to
prescribe,
Don't let your patient think of you as one
who'd merely gibe;
Don't taunt sick man on his bed, but tell
him, if so be
You know yourself, how he shall set about
his remedy.
Fen though it takes my ell to pay. right
gladly will I buy;
Fen though but an inspired line shall come
from it, I'll die
To pay that one who gives my feet those
magic attributes
To make them fit more snugly into some
ImmortaPs boots.

zine.
