Resulting Collision.

Two Killed and Several Injured in the
Resulting Collision.
PITTsBUnG, Oct. 1.-Two freight trains
Collided at philson, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, making one of the worst
wrecks in the history of the road. While
going down II steep grade the crew on No.
n lost control of the train. As the train
shot around the curve at Philson the east
bound train struck the other train and
every car on the former was thrown to the
common center of the collision and ground
almost to atoms.
A Cumberland dispatch says: Twelve
tramps have been taken from tho wreck,
two of whom We're dead. The others wero
brought to this city and placed in the hos
pital and are in a serious condition. Train
men say that a number of men who had
been attending the Bryan speaking on
Wednesday, aud who weHe on their way
to their homes, in Myersdale, Pa, were
riding on the bumpers, so it is thought
that there are Others still under the wreck.
1t is thought by officials here that some of
the men riding the bumpers cut OFF the
air, thus causing the wreck.
Among the trainmen injured were tho
following: Engineer Rcane, Of train No.
"A, perhaps fatally; John Cornell, front
brakeman seriously injured; Fireman
Owen, seriously injured; Fireman Shaw,
bruised very badly. Other traininon We're
cut and bruised.

At Least Eight Lives Lost and Much Valu-
able Property Destroyed.

AT Eight Lives LDst ana MUCH Nuiu-
able Property Destroyed.
STAUNToN, Va, Oct 2-The flood here
was caused by much the same conditions,
but of course on a smaller scale, as those
which resulted in the Johnstown disaster,
namely, the bursting of lake and the
emptying of it's waters into stream al
ready badly swollen by the rains. From
10 to l2 o'clock Of Tuesday night the rain
came down in torrents, and soon changed
Lewis creek, which runs through tunnel
under Staunton, into u raging torrent,
and the water being in too great volume
to pass in the tunnel backed and quickly
swamped the neighborhood, including
many large gardens.
A handsome brick, stone trimmed build
ing located on Central avenue, was totally
wrecked, the occupants barely escaping.
A livery stable was carried away and
thirty horses drowned. The bodies of
James Smith, his wife, daughter and
grandchild have been recovered. The
negro settlements along Pump street were
particularly exposed to the rushing waters,
but it is believed nearly all its inhabitants
escaped.
Another lake at the Buckeye stock farm
south of the city also burst its banks, and
uniting with others, swept over at least
half Of Staunton, destroying twenty-five
business houses A two story frame build
ing occupied by family of colored peo-
pie was carried 800 yards and dashed
against q railr lad bridge, killing four of
