FAST TRAIN WRECKED.
Pennsylvania Flyer Dtched and Goes
Down a Bank.

ittsburg-Fiftyfour passengers
and a train crew of about a dozen
were injured in the wreck of the
Pennsylvania Special, the IS hour
train between New York and Chica-
go, which occurred at a sharp curve
at Black Diamond, seven miles east
of Johnstown, shortly after midnight.
No one was killed and all the passen-
gers have been accounted for The
engine and combination smoking car
remained upon the rails, but the three
Pullmans plunged over a so foot en-
bankment into the Conemaugh river.
Fortunately the cars were not sub
merged. A scene of wild confusion
ensued. All of the passengers were
in their berths and were thrown
promiscuously around the cars. All
the passengers on the train were in
iured more or less, but with the ex-
ception Of John p Kline. of Chicago,
it is said, none of the injured are dan
gerously hurt The train was run
ming As minutes late and trying to
make UP time. Nobody seems to know
what really caused the accident, but
II is supposed 1t was caused by the
springing of bolt connecting one of
the rails to the steel tie. The in
jured were taken to Altoona, Green's
burg and this city. A majority of
them, however, proceeded west on
a special train. The train was the
finest on the Pennsylvania and many
prominent passengers were aboard.
Following the wreck great disorder
prevailed. A special train bearing the
passengers only slightly injured left
for the west before noon. Most of
the passengers lost their clothing,
money and valuables. The attire of
some of the passengers was very odd,
as they were wearing other person S
clothing.
Rev. DR.. Cope escaped without a
scratch although his car was com
pieteiy demolished. He even secured
all his clothing.

BIG BATTLE IN HONDURAS.
Vague Messenger Is Received, Giving
No Details.

City Of Mexico, Feb 25.-Dr. e.
Estuphinan, minister to Mexico from
Salvador and Honduras, has received
the following vague message from
Honduras officials:
Nicaragua forces have invaded
Honduras. Fierce battle ensued."
When the battle was fought, where
the encounter took place, and what
was the ultimate result of the strug-
gle are left to conjecture. This is
the first word Dr.. Estuphinan has re
ceived from Honduras for several
days, although he has sent several
cablegrams of inquiry. Details of the
battle are hourly expected.

Farmers and other shippers in the vi
cinity of Wells, Benton county, have
pstitioned the Oregon Railroad Com
mission to investigate the needs of that
place in regard to the employ ment of an
agent by the Southern Pacific. At pres
ent no agent is employed, and each snip
per must look after his own freight, go
to Corvallis or Independence for cars and
suffer the loss if freight comes for him
and is left exposed to the elements, says
Salem dispatch to the Oregonian. The
people at Wells do not ask that an agent
be employed to devote all his time to
Southern Pacific business, but it is their
desire that some one be employed to look
alter the freight depot, take orders for
cars and notify shippers when cars have
arrived.
