Freight Engineer Killed.

Sunday afternoon, as the accommodation
train on the Baltimore and Harrisburg divi
sion of the Western Maryland Railroad, leav-
ing Emory Grove at 5.O5 O'Clock, was APP
preaching St. Paul, six miles north of Emory
Grove, it was run into by an extra freight
train. No passengers were injured, but En-
gineman John Reed, of the freight engine,
who lived at Hanover, Pa, had leg crushed,
and was otherwise injured. He was removed
to a farm house where he died early Monday
morning. Engineman Reed was one of the
oldest and most reliable men upon the Balti-
more and Harrisburg division, and it is not
understood how he, Conductor Socks and the
balance Of the crew, all of Hanover, Pa,
could have overlooked a regular passenger
train. When taken from the wreck Engine
man Reed remarked that it was all his fault,
as he had entirely overlooked the accommo
dation train, which runs only on Sunday.
The tenders Of both trains were badly
smashed and both engines were damaged.
One freight car was broken and some of the
pig iron with which it was loaded fell upon
Engineer Reed, which hurt him internally.

My DEAR FATHER:-I received your letter

kinds of rumors aboard the ship. Some think
that she has got enough, and don't want any
more of Uncle Sans fighting. The reason
why that it has the appearance that we are
going to Spain is, that we have put aboard
three months stores and our magazines are
filled with ammunition. Beside this all the
big ships are here now waiting orders. Spain
will make mistake in letting us carry the
war into her own country. | recently met Il
young man from Carroll county named Devil
bliss, and whose home is in or near New
Windsor
He was aboard the Arieno, Il ship that was
once light house tender, but now engaged
in furnishing the fleet with ammunition. |
met him one day when his ship was supplying

some newspaper. He had in his possession

letters appeared.

Since commencing we have received six sick
men from the Newark That looks ve:y much
as though we would soon start North.

the music was all that could be desired; in
deed when ones feet were decorousIy resting
the tinkling strings of the mandolin sent little
thrills meandering up and down until it was
impossible to sit still. The short notice of
the affair prevented many of the visitors from
preparing fancy costumes, per sc, but did not
prevent powder and patches; the days of our

gratitude to Miss Mary B. Shellman, who in
addition to furnishing Il large proportion of
the beautiful costumes. loaned her supply of
national colors with which the dining room
was so gracefully decorated. The dancing
continued until 1870, and broke up amid
general regret that such delightful affair
should come to an end.
