A Remarkable Accident on the Erie
 Road.
 Susquehanna, Pa., Oct. 26.-When the night express train, No. 12, east-bound, on the Erie road, arrived at this station at midnight last night the engineer. Henry Kingsley of Susduehanna, was found dead in the cab, with his head badly crushed. After the train left Binghamton, twenty-three miles west of here, trainmen and others noticed that the engineer failed to give the usual signals at crossings and small stations, and that the train was run ming at an unusual speed. Cowgirl, the fireman, noticed that the whistle was not blown for this station, and, going forward into the cab, found the dead man. The train had run at a terrific speed twenty miles without an engi- neer. There were mare than 200 pas sengers on board.
 It is supposed that the engineer was hit by a water-crane at point just east of Binghamton.

Large Gathering Listens to Addresses by
 Local Speakers

Large Gathering Listens to Addresses by
 Local Speakers.
 The republican rally last evening as- CTS at the house of the West Side club, where they were entertained with music by the Temple quartette and the newly organized West Side club orches- tra, of which J. Bowen is the director. The brief remarks of local speakers, who in their discussion of local and na- tional questions furnished food for re- hection filled up the remaining time of the evening. Both the orchestra and quartette were heartily encored.
 Elmer F. Schroeder was chairman of the meeting. President John Gaffey was the first speaker and he exhorted the republicans of the Fourth ward to stand firm in the faith and above all else get out the voters on election day. Frederick l.. Averil, candidate for state senator, urged his hearers not to be fooled by anyone telling them that the republican party is split, saying that it is united and will support the whole republican ticket. He confessed that he wanted to be elected, but he was anxious that the entire republican ticket should be successful as we'll He feared that unless republican congress should be elected this fall there would be chaos in Washington.
 President George B. Martin of the Republican league urged his hearers to support the administration. He said that it would not do to stop half way but instead all should take off their coats and elect the ticket.
 Congressman N. D. Sperry made the longest speech of the evening. His references to Dewey and the military leaders of the war awakened hearty ap- plause Cheering also greeted his ref erence to President Mckinley. He de- tended the administration from the charges that there had been incompe- tent management in the army, and quoted from Generals Lee and Wheel CT, non-administration men in the sense that they are not republicans, to SUD- port his assertion that on the whole our forces in the field had been excep- tionally well cared for He clinched his argument with the following conun- drum: If it takes a prize fighter two or three months to get himself in con- dition for fighting, how long will it take to put an army of 250,000 men in con- | dition for combat?
 He said he respected his opponent | (Mr. Webb as a man and lawyer, l but he thought MT. Webb owed it to | the voters to announce what his posi- | tion on the currency is. No matter what MT. Webbs personal views are he will have to abide by the party caucus in congress. The speaker also referred to the excellent results which are pro- | ceeding from recent republican tariff legislation, saying that prosperity is ahead if we only let things remain as they are.
