Coaches Derailed.

The train plunged along some dis
tance before it was stopped A panic
ensued in which many men, women
and children were seriously crushed by
those who lost their heads and en-
deavored to force their way from the
cars by main force. Several of the pas
sengers tainted and for a time the
scene was one of the utmost confusion.
Word was at once brought to this city
of the disaster and party of surgeons
started for the wreck, where assistance
was given the injured, many of whom
are in critical condition.

PITTsBURa, Sept. Prompt action
by the police authorities prevented a
lynching at Homestead. -Four negroes
broke into the residence of William
Marsh, a prominent picture dealer of
Homestead, for the purpose of robbery
and probably a more heinous crime.

Mr. Marsh's three daughters and upon
discovc 8 one of the negroes tried to
strange Miss Annie Marsh The
father being aroused, came to the res
cue and the negroes fled. One of them,
Isaac Mills, jumped from the second

the lookup. The feeling against the
negroes was intense and a crowd of
about 300 had planned to lynch them
but the police officials smuggled them
out of town.

The most horrible holocaust, with great

this part of the state occurred at mid
night when Yore's Opera House took
fire and in the fight to save buildings
and other blocks adjoining, IL firemen
met their fate at one fell swoop, death
being instantaneous with five of them,
six lived only a few hours in awful
agony while several others met with
severe bruises and burns. During the
evening the play "a Factory Girl had
been given by local talent and had
closed but half an hour before fire was
discovered. Then the building was

owing to lack of hook and ladder facii-

preaching the building through an
alley and unloading ladders in the rear

the upper walls fell over without

Cause of the Fire Unknown.
The work of removing the debris
was commenced at once and those
pinned in were removed in few min
utes, except G. A. Hill, whose body
was recovered at a. m. The cause of
the fire is mystery, several theories
from cigar stub to lamp explosion
are given. Guy Prescott is under arrest
as being one who knows of the origin,
but when asked by a reporter the cause,
remarked that she was not going to
give anybody away" assuming that he
was in possession of facts that caused
his detention. The building was COM
paratively new, having been erected
seven years ago at a cost of $4,000 by

Frick, which stood adjoining, was de-
molished by the opera house walls fall

WHY he HATES WOMAN.
One Man Make. oHt Hes Case Against the
Fair Ser.


a writer In the Westminster Gazette
explains the wherefore OF his aversion
to the feminine sex In the following
reasons. ! hnte women:
Because she stabs me In the eye with
her parasOl. Offers no apology, and
looks as II did II.
Because she pushes for place In the
trains and omnibuses, and. being In,
never makes any room for any other
person.
Because she climbs to the tops Of om-
nIbuses, to descend from which de-
mands grace and decency.
Because she thinks the only way TO
make an omnibus stop Is to Nrod the
ductor.
Because she mislays her DaS, loses
her handkerchief, and carries her purse
Because she recItes. plays vIolins and
rides bicycles.
Because she walks three in row upon
the pavement, and expects everyone
else TO make way for her.
Because she Is fluent. but not lucid"
and more concerned about the number
OF her facts than the truth OF them.
Because. In nine cases out OF ten, she
can neither sew, nor read aloud, nor
make tea,
Because she is always writing letters,
and wanting me and others to answer
them.
Because she Is the slave Of fashion;
and that not only in clothes. but In art,
music, manners. religion, flowers, Jew
elry. language and furniture.
Because she does not value anything
simply because II Is good" following
a fashion set In the days before woman
existed, but because Il Is worn" or
done" q even talked about"
