torn completely from underneath the
cars.
Few people were injured in the Pull
man cars and the diners, although few
escaped without at least some slight
injuries.
Hardly had the bodies of the dead
been removed from the coaches until
thieves began robbing the dead of
Jewelry and money. Special officers
were deputized, and with the aid of
the Baltimore and Ohio police force
and Connellsville officers the work of
the ghouls was stopped.

escaped serious injury in the wreck
Immediately set about robbing their
more unfortunate countrymen, and the
dead as well as injured were robbed of
their money and other valuables.

Good Puns on the Weather.

A Chicago man who has just re.

that during his stay in Paris the

one day by another American visitor,
who on taking leave of a French

"Au revoir," as he would have re-

crew of the freight train were not in
a position to know it.
1t was horrible disaster. Men
were crushed to death, scalded to
death, burned to death. Cars were
telescoped, smashed, burned. Every
detail of horror and of suffering posi-
BILE in a railroad wreck characterized
this one. 1t is not creditable to skill
in construction that cars should be
built Of material which is made all
the more inlammable by paint and
varnish put on in profusion, and that
they should be built so lightly and go
to pieces as easily as a cardboard
house. The old wooden vessels have
largely given place to steel vessels.
Why should not the old wooden cars
be succeeded by steel cars, which will
offer some resistance in case of acct
dent and reduce the risks Of death and
injury to crew and passengers?

The awful disaster to the Duquesne
Eyer on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road near Dawson, Pa, Dec. "a, makes
a sad Christmas for many families.
1t is not only the worst railroad calam-
ity this year but he worst in many
years. There have been thirty derail-
ments and collisions during the year
where the loss of life has been excep-
siOnally large, but the collision on the
Big Four railroad of Nov. 10, when
thirty-one were killed and seventeen
mi ed, had been the worst up to the
present horror. In this one twice ~
many were killed and five times as
many injured. 1t may be interesting
in connection with these thirty disas<
tiers to know that twenty of them W.
caused by collisions and ten by de-
railments, which would seem to indi-
cate that more attention is paid to the
condition of the roadbed than to the
details of running trains.
If there can be any consolation IN
such an accident, BY which over three
score persons were killed outright Spd
many others were injured, some OF
whom will fie, it is in the fart that it

ROMANCE REVEALED BY DEATH.

he was worth about 100000. The pc

in the will 10 the widow. Two sisters

AS a Unitarian preacher he attained
the highest place and was regarded as
a very pillar of strength to that de-
nomination. His career in Boston,
when he was in charge of the Airing
ton Street Church, will long be remem.
bered for the splendid work he did.
Rev. Brooke Hereford arose to
prominence in the Unitarian church in
England, and from Manchester he
was called to Chicago in 1876, taking
charge of the Church of the Messiah.
He remained in that city until 1882,
when he went to Boston to fill the pull
pit of the Arlington Street Church,
where he was regarded as one of the

ten years he remained in Boston, and
then accepted a call from his native

The wreck was caused by the break

bridge timbers on a westbound freight
train which had passed Laurel Run not
more than fifteen minutes before the
passenger train. The wreck occurred
on a curve, and it was impossible for
Engineer Thornley, to see far enough
ahead to detect the obstruction on the
tracks.
The big Atlantic type engine plung-

sixty miles an hour. The engine
plowed into the embankment, and the
baggage and express cars were thrown
into the Youghioghney river. The
smoker followed the engine and land

the escaping steam from the engine

Many persons have been mistaken

the engineer and fireman, who died
from crushing violence, the death of
all the others was due to the inhala-
