The witness was questioned at some
length as To strait jackets when he came
to the Eastern State Hospital. He con-
demned the use Of strait jackets. Upon
cross. examination on this subject by Mr..

Among the committeeman II is a sub

that the State, while charging ff the

mates estate i. worth anything, at the
rate of 1860 year, expends on patients
an average per capita Of only about

are worth as much as $3.50.

FrIRhtful railroad Accident.

Altoons, Pa, May 5.-The most dis
sstrous accident on the Pennsylvania
Railroad since the disaster east Of
Harrisburg, nearly a year ago, occurred
last night at IL o'clock on the Peters
burg branch, about 500 yards east OF
Glover Greek Junction. The Chicago
Mail, eastbound, and Chicago and st.
Louis Express, westbouud, Two of the
fastest trains on the system, going at
full speed, met head-On. Seven cars
were wrecked, aud both engines dam
aged. Ten persons were killed and
about q injured. The disaster was in-
directly due te a freight wreck on the
Middle Division, at 8.24 p. IN. when
twenty-one loaded cars on an eastbound
freight train were wrecked at Union
Furnace. about 20 miles east OF here,
blocking all tracks The cause Of that
accident is attributed to burst air hose.
la order to avoid detention of trains
passenger traffic was sent over the
Petersburg branch.
The Pennsylvania special, the 49,
hour flyer, was the first train to pass
around and made the trip safely. Train
No. 81, the Chicago and St. Louis ex-
press, WAS the next train to be sent west
bound over the branch. 1t collided
with No. Is, the Chicago mail, going in
an opposite direction, on single track,
near Glover Greek Junction. Both loco
motives we're wrecked. Six cars OF No.
IS, FIVE mail cars aud coach were
caught in the smash up. The accident
appears to have resulted from mi, un-
derstanding of orders on the part OF the
train crew of the Chicago x st. Louis
eXDreSs
