How the Hindoos Cr>ii:1uot Their
Cremation Ceremonies*
To every traveler in Hindostan is
familiar the terrible call of "Ram, Ram
Such Hai," which, bein? translated into
English, means, literally, "God, God is
ruth " The rrv is a fearful one, a cry
which cnce heard lingers with peculiar
rhythm in the hearer's ear, for never is
it heard from the lips of a singb man.
but from many, sometimes hundreds, and
when borne with that terrible distinctness
of the well-accentuated many upon
a still air, its elTect is peculiarly awestriking.
Still more so when at rapid
trot upon the shoulders of lour wniterobed
men is seen a white-sheeted corpsc
laid upon a light bier. So tightly lias
been drawn (he shrouding over the dead
figure that every outline of the body is
distinctly visible; and thus at a quick
pace hurry the body bearers, followed
by an immense throng, to the burning
ghat, there to burn the body cf the de
ceased.
There are few more affecting sights
than a Hindoo cremation. There is sc
much of solemnity and so much of barbaric
pomp attending the ceremonial,
such a general gathering of c'ansmen,
cn rmirVi mid loud wceninff and
silent agony, that it may be well said
that not to be present at a burning is t?
lose one of the most interesting entertainments
that Hindostnn can oiler. Nc
Hindoo is ever permitted to die withiu
four walls. Out in the open air must
the last gasp be breathed, and the last
look of the dying man must be upon
that which is not made by hands. The
measure is not wholly one of religion,
but more of a sanitary precaution. Decomposition
sets in so rapidly that it is
reckless to leave a body in close and con~

very most. No sooner does death appear
inevitable than the friends prepare
to meet it in the most philosophical manner.
The dying man is borne out into the
open air, the hired mourners are sent for,
and sit on each side of the lintel and wail
in a heartrending manner. These mourners
are women, old and ugly, red and
white, dusty garments, with hair dishevelled.
barnvard sweepings on their head
and all the accomplishments of woe
imaginable. From constantly engaging
in such business, Iheir faces appear tc
have attained the expression most befitting
such occasions.
About the annotating of the corpsc
the Hindoo i9 most particular. It is
rubbed all over with the essence of roses.
The hair is oiled, the cheeks and lips are
"painted a bright vermiilion, and the
body swathed in white linen, manufactured
for that purpose, and so shrouded
as only to disclose the face and hands.
The bier differs according to the caste.
"With the Brahmins simplicity is observaKin
"Ruf flirt lnicpr r> caste. and con
sequently the lower the general intelligence
and status in society, the more
gaudily decorated the bier.
For instance, grooms affect the liveliest
colors, and convert their funerals into
ludicrous farces, and are more than
pleased when their efforts meet with
laughing shoutR of approval. It is a peculiarity
of this class that they are a
most jovial race, and have ever a song
or a joke on their lips. With other
castes preternatural gloom seems ever
upon their minds. A. groom, on the
other hand, seizes with avidity the occasion
of a funeral, and looks upon it as
a most fortunate circumstance?an occasion
upon which to be merry, to laugh
dull care away and defy tyrant death
with the cup that more than inebriates;
for drunkenness is a besetting vice with
him, though it is a drunkenness that takes
amiable form,rarely even permitting him
to do more harm than to bite off the nose
of one of his refractory wives.
A licrht matting forms the bed of the
pyre, which is attached to bamboo poles,
covered with strips of red, white, blue,
green, yellow?in fact all colors?of
cottou cloth. A canopy is formed overhead,
also covered with various colored
cloth. The body is placed inside and
smothered with flowers, the white
chammalee being preferred. It has a
strong odor and is a, pure white. Four
of the stoutest relatives of the deceased
then lift the litter, and before them arc
runner-, who lay on the ground red and
white strips of cloth, so as not to permit
the carriers to tread the bare earth.
When the funeral procession comes to
the limit of one of these strips, the
funeral cortege has to wait until other
strips have been spread. In advance of
these are the fisrhtin2 men of the party,
who brandish spears, sticks, and occasionally
fire oft' guns, beside going
through antics symbolical of fighting iu
midair hovering demons who are intent
upon carrying off the body. In most
picturesque places are these burning
ghats located. Hard by is some holy
stream, whoso blue waters contrast
beautifully with the dark and glowing
foliage of the overhanging trees, and the
rich green of the rank jungle whicb
fringes its banks. The approaches to
these river banks arc generally through
ravines, deep and tortuous, caused by
the overfiooded river during the rainy
season. Over hot and burning sands,
which glisten in the bright sunshine
like burnished silver, and cast a glare
which to the unaccustomed eye is almost
blinding, trudges the funeral party.
Arriving at the ghat, a little huckster
incr has to he cone through with some ol
? ~ ~ " O o
the wood-dealers, who have already as
sorted sized pieces of wood from which
to build the pyre, this being accom
plished after no little difficulty, for s
Hindoo always asks more than he expect:
to receive, and al\va>s places his figure
high so that after the bargain is concluded
lie gets actually what he llrsl
wanted. The eldest son is closest to the
body; it is he who carries the pot containing
the fire, and it is his duty tostarl
into flame the straw. He is dressed ic
white, and upon his dress are greal
patches of red like blood clots. The
pyre is but a foot or so high, resting ou
a bed of straw. After the doleful chants
have been sung, and after he has thrice
marched round the pyre, he ignites the
fire, and a few seconds after a thin
wreath of smoke ascending heavenward
tells that the last rite has been successfullv
performed. The funeral ceremon
ies over, the party, including those whc
arc nearest of kin, repair to the deceased's
late dwelling and there inquire into the
affairs of the departed one, and make an
inventory of his effects.
A marriage and a funeral are affairs
much to be drended by a wealthy Hindoo,
for on either occasion there is to be considerable
spent in feasting the re'atives,
and a host of dependants; and ns without
a feast the soul of the departed one
is ia danger of not tasting the joys oi
the life hereafter, a funeral feast is really
often the real source of the woe on such
npfvminnq As n matter of course thr
Brahmins figure conspicuously, for it is
hoped that through their intercessions,
will the dead man gain heavenly bliss

HAULING A BUILDING.
A. " Down-Ea^t Way of Moving a
Factory.
A correspondent of the Lewiston Jourual
gives a graphic account of the moving
of a shook factory at Turner, lie.,
from which we cony as follows:
The site selected for the shook shop
, was a spot where the rocks were so thick
that holes could not be du<r for apple
Tf T.-n j lncf. VPJtr flint, thft I

' 9hook shop must go. Last fall the spot
was leveled by blasting some of the
biggest rocks, and the foundation laid.
The time set for moving the building i
[ was last Monday afternoon, and Caleb
, Sncll had charge of the hauling.
! Caleb Snell has moved buildings for
thirty years, and can haul a building
5 anywhere. He is a large farmer on Sneli'a
. hill, and is well-known in the region i
[ around as a genial, quick-witted man
, with a heart as big as an ox. He says
he has Daniel Webster's head.
Dan:el Webster was a great fisherman
} and made a Bunlcer-Hill-monuraent
, j speech that has not been forgotten for
. | fifty years, but he was nowhere alongside

fessor Cain can move a house down the !
[ level grade of Lisbon street without j
moving the family out and without much j
fuss, but it took good calculation, quick
judgment and engineering skill of a high
order to haul the shook shop to the
"Booker Intervale," and Caleb Snell
was equal to the emergency. The
distance to haul was not long.
The building was about 30x40?

road was up bill and down, rough and
sideling, and in some places just wide
enough for the building to go. Everything
was ready and a string of cattle
, hitched to each of the "shoes" at 2 p.
' m. last Monday. The first pull was to
, turn the building half round. She
swung on her bed as gracefully as the
Puritan minds her helm. Caleb is a
, speechmaker, but he always makes short
speeches. That is more than can be said
I of Daniel Webster. Caleb looked up
and down the road to see if more teams
I were coming. Then he got up on the
crosstie and spoke:
"Men and teamsters, you have made a
| good pull. We are bound for Canaan?
\ the'Booker Intervale.' Like the road to
' Jordan, it is a hard road to travel, but
we shall get there. Mind well the word.
I ornrnftv fn iV?r?xv Strain im."
, "When Caleb was making his speech,
| every teamster stood by the side of his
cattle with goad3tick at shoulder arms,
and at the word they all pointed the
spur at the off ox and whispered at the
nigh one. They all pulled together with
a steady strain.
"Hard on the nigh string," shouted
Caleb, and they walked with it, but not
far; it was a heavy load for the team.
They camfi to a standstill before Caleb
gave the word, "Whoa-hish."
At the next pull the team was stuck.
Caleb swuug his hat and hollered. The
teamsters put spur, but it was no go. It
was a delightful afternoon, as warm as
summer, and women gathered in Charles
Snell's dooryard with their sewing and
knitting work to look on and to encourage
the men and oxen. The off "shoe"
had plowed into the gravel half its bigness,
and Caleb ordered the building
, "jacked up."
Uncle Solon Chase volunteered to give
Caleb some advice. He turned round and
spoke, "You drove Them Steers until
you drove the Greenback party into the
mud. I am driving this team; you can
take command of the elm pry." As he
spoke, his Daniel Webster head went up
so high that it laid on the back of his
neck, the elm pry was a stick of hub
timber about twenty-five feet long, and
ten inches through at the big end, which
was sharpened out like the toe of a shoe,
the building was "jacked up," seven
men raised up the elm pry and Uncle
Solon fixed the bait. All was ready,
. Caleb gave the word. The men broke
the pry down as the cattle strained up.
Everybody hollered, the teamsters |
screamed, the small boys yelled, the
women waved their hats, and when the
building started Beecher barked and
wagged his tail. The noise was immense
?not unlike the confusion of tongues at
the tower of Babel, but above all the din
: and clatter Caleb's voice could be heard
as the clarion notes of the bugle are
heard above all the rest iu a band of
music.
To Caleb the "Booker Intervale" was
the Kingdom come, and he had im,
pressed every man, woman, and child,
boy, dog. and steer with the same idea.
The cattle pul!ed well, but they could
haul the building only when it was
' jacked up,*' and helped by the elm
pry. Progress was slow, and the
shades of night were shutting down.
; Caleb spoke: "Men and teamsters, don't
make another pull. Your cattle pull
well, but there is not team enough. We
[ must have fifteen more yoke. Will you
; come at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning? '
aii i>?vrv " KnnnAr anrpftd fnr

forty, and steaming hot, but nobody
' stopped, all in a hurry to get home to
| do the chores.
The next morning they began to drive
in the cattle early. As they came on to
the ground the word ''VVhoa-back!"
: was heard often, and it was heavenly
! music. When all was ready for a start
' there was team enough.. Forty yoke of
them st.cers were hitched to the build!
ing. They could haul it anywhere or
tear it down. The elm pry became obsolete
and was bft in the rear. Caleb
1 worked the building slowly over the
rocks and along a steep side hill. To
k make way a piece of stone had to be re|
moved. One "binder" put in by Seth
5 Sampson more than fifty years ago was
taken out. When the worst was over
^ ana the building stood pitching down

[ off his hat and got upon the cross tie to
' make a speech. He spoke: "Men and
1 teamsters, dinner!''
After dinner the building was slowly
! and carefully worked down hill on to the
1 spot. The warm September sun made
1 the afternoon delightful. The women
were gathered on the green sward with
! their work, and the boys set on piles of
1 stave3 crunching apples that hung down
from the bending limbs ever their heads
just within easy reach. The shook shop
is now on the "Booker Intervale" by the
| side of the river where the woodbine
1 climbs the trees in great profusion, and I
1 where the water goes laughing dov/n
1 over the rocks as merry as a "giggling '
girl." All there is left of the shook shop
1 where it stood Is the pole where it sot.
CalebVspeech was in one word but it
was a welcome speech. Marcu3 Samp
son shouted "Amen" so loud that they
heard him on the Buckfield town farm.
; The oxen were turned into a clovcr lot
and soon filled themselves and laid down.
Mrs. Nora Burdin and Airs. Kate Wilder j
had set tables for forty?four tables?ten I
1 plates each. The bill of fare was baked ,
' beans,, Indian pudding, brown bread, |
the whitest kind of white cake and |
plenty of pumpkin pie, apple pic too, if
you wished,tea, coffee, pickles, preserves
and other dishes. After forty hungry
men and boys had eaten all they could
eat there seemed to be just a3 much on
the tables as there was when they began
to cat.
AROUND THE WORLD. |:
Matters ot Interest from Various ,
Quarters of the Globe. ]
]
Denmark on the Verge of a Se1 j
rious Revolution. 1
A Copenhagen dispatch says that "the
long continued arbitrary policy of King :
Christian IX. in declining to dismiss the Es- 1
trup cabinet, in compliance with the temper
of the Rigsdag, and in levying taxes al- ^
logod to be unconstitutional because of the ,
refusal of parliament to vote tho budget, i
seoms about to culminate in grave 3
troubles. A number of serious riots and imposing
demonstrations against tho king and
the Estrup ministry have occurred already in
this city. Tho people seem determined that j
their representatives in parliament sball have J
some voice in the affairs of government. They 1
have become so threatening in their demands ]
that tho kin~ has ordered the garrison of Co- i
penhagen to be largely reinforced. These popu- '
far manifestations are not confined to Copen- <
hagon, but are general throughout Denmark
It is expected that a stato of siege will bo declared,
and it ia feared that a revolution will
ensue if the king persists in withholding the 1
concessions demanded by the Kigsdag. A i
rmmhor of nolitical arrests havo been
made and have tended to excite tbe people j
further. Tbe popular feeling has become so
angry that the shedding of blood is possible j
at any moment."
The trouble between the Danish govern- <
ment and the people is of thirteen years'
standing, during which time the Lower
House, the Folkething, has vainly persisted
in its demand for the removal of the unpopular
Estrup cabinet. Its attempts to j
coerce the government by refusing to
vote supplies were boldly met; the
king authorized the levy of taxes by royal
decree and dissolved the Rigsdag with a rep- i
rimand. This has since been done repeatedly,
but each time a larger radical majority has 1
been returned to the lower house. In the
popular branch of the Rigsdag, which met
this month at Copenhagen, there are now
scarce half a dozen supporters of the govern- '
ment. The upper house has remained loyal 1
to the king.
The Smnllfox in Canada.
Montreal advices state that the small-pox
scourgo is spreading in Canada. Of the 483
patients admitted to the old Civic hospital in
Montreal since April 1, 118 have died. The
retail merchants have decided to urge upon
the provincial board of health tho necessity
of i rohibiting the sale of vaccine points in
druggists' or other stores, but instead to establish
a central dispensary where pure vaccina
can bo issued. This action lias been
taken because much of tho vaccine sold
in the city has been bogus. The most extraordinary
means are abjut to be adopted to
prevent the spread of smallpox. The provincial
board of health mot and discussed a
motion passed by the civic board of health
to close all churches and public places of
amusement and prevent all gatherings in
public squares for one month. It was resolved
not to concur in t!ie motion, as tliey
thought that tho time was inopportune. It
was state ! that any parson coming from an
infected house to a church could, be prosecuted
now.
Another Railroad Tragedy.

tho East. The train was late, and did not
leave until 7:0r3. Tbo oxpress train came
into collision with tho cast bound accommodation
on the curve near Potter's crossing at
7:20. The two engines, the express, baggage,
and one passenger coach on tuo train west,
and a !iko number on tho east bound train
were badly damaged. Eugene Thorn, fireman
on tho oast-bound train, was killed and
horribly mangled. Arthur Middlenauf, express
messenger on tho west-bound train, was
also killed. Daniel lioat, engineer on the
west-bound train, was badly injured. Henry
Welcoiner. engineer of the east-bound train,
was also badly injurod. James A. Scott, a
traveling man, residing at Trenton. N. J.,
had his ear cut and was badly bruised.
The Greeks Kag-cr for War.
An Athens (Greece) dispatch says that the
Council of Candia, tho largest city in Crete,
has voted in favor of a union with Greece,
but the populace refuse to revolt against the
Turkish government before Greece
has declared war. The Greeks are
wild with enthusiasm. Thirty
thousand men of the reserves have been enrolled
during the past five days, and thousands
are arriving from all parts of Greece,
especially from the Peloponnesus and the
islan ds of tho ^Egean. Tlio people are clamoring
for war and an extension of territory.
Frcacli TrooP* Dyinj of Cholera.
Advices from Tonquin describe the situation
thore as very glojmy. Since the beginning
of the summer 3,UJ0 Frenchmen have
died of cholera, and largo numbers are still
daily succumbing to the disease. The mortality
among the troops hin lers the progress
of the campaign. The reinforcements that
arc sent from France aro scarcely sufficient
to fib the gaps made in the French ranks
by the plagua

Moonrod Huendelend, a youth of ninotoon,
in revenge for an assault committed 01

arrested.
UNDER FALLEN WALLS.
Workmen Fatally Crushed in a To*
bacco Warehouse.
For two weeks a score of laborers had been
tearing down an old tobacco warehouse at
No. 1144 West Main Street, Louisville. The
other morning a squad of workmen were directed
to begin excavations on the east side,
while three bricklayers were engaged in
strengthening the supports of the wall. Just
as the men were preparing to go to dinner a
cry of horror burst from all. The wall was
seen to topple, and in a moment it had fallen
with a terrible crash, burying five men in the
debris.
Their fellow-laborers ran to the rescue and
dragged their mangled and bleeding bodies
from beneath the mass of brick and mortar.
Four men had been dragged out, when it was
discovered that Augustus Bush, the boss
bricklayer, was missing. His bruised body
was found after a long search under the mass

VICTIMS OF THE FLAMES.
Fearful Disruption of a House- ?
liold in Chicago. {
? (
Wife, her Mother and Two J
Children Burned to Doath, i
<
A terrible visitation of fire and death cams i (
upon the household of William S. Bates, at ]
86 Vernon Park place, this morning, says
a Chicago dispatch. There was a sudden cry ]
of "The house is on fire! Oh, save us! Save i
the children!" and then a rush and i
sweep of llame and smoke, and in less time j
almost than it takes to relate the tale of hor- x
ror the little household of seven human be- {
ings was reduced to three. Of the other
four nothing remained but blackened, charred i
bodies. The interior of the house was a ]
grim, black moss of ruins; the red walls still j
standing partially hid the ghastly scenc from {
passers-by, the blackened windows and doors
alone affording a view. The death list is as ?
follows: Mrs. Mary Bate?, wife of William
S. Bate*, aged thirty-three years; Mrs. Gray- ,
son, mother of Mrs. Bates, aged seventy-two
years; Johnny Bates, aj:ed six years; Eddie
Bates, aged four years and six months. The
rescued were William S. Bates, Thomas C. ]
Grayson and Martha Bates, a child of two j
years, the youngest of tho family.
Shortly before ( o'clock in the morning the
servant, "Mary Dolan, got up to start a lire in ?
thekitclnn to prepare breakfast. The rest 1 j
of the family were still abecL It is not ,
known whether the girl used kerosene to
stare the fire, for there were both an oil stove {
and a range in the little kitchen. At all 1
- - - - -it 1
| events the household were arousea oy u suuden
explosion. x .
Mrs. Bates jumped from her bed in the J
middle room of the first floor and rushed ?
quickly into the kitchen in her night clothes, <
and attempted to extinguish the flames by
dashing water upon them. The frightened
garvant had escaped through the rear win- J
dow, which was still open, and a sti;f breeze 1
blew in, fanning the fire into fury. The partitions
began to blaza. Beholding che awful
danger ot the situation, the poor woman ]
thought of her sleeping children and turned
her attention to saving them.
She thought of her babe Martha first, and, ]
snatching the infant in her arms, carried it .
through the side hall into the street. A panic J
had by this timo seized upon the remaiuing ]
people in the burning building. Flames were j
madly leaping through every portion of the
interior and had even reachei the upper
rooms, where old Mrs. Grayson and her son
Thomas slept. Stifling smoke was issuing
from every window. The mother realized ,
that the peril of those within was awful.
mir r-hililivn! Oh. mv God. '
help me!" she cried, as sho wrung' hor hands
in agony. i
The morning milkman had rattled up to
tho door in his carfc.
"Stop, woman!" he shouted, "you cannot 1
go in there and come out alive." ]
He leaped from the wagon aud seized her (
by the arni3. There came a wail from her
Serishing boys within. This decid9l her.
reaking from the man's gra?p Mrs. Bates ]
dashed into the hall and disappeared in the <
merciless flames. She was never again
*een alive. Facing tho blinding fury of
scorching heat and stifling smoke the brave :
mother, as afterward shown, reached the
middle bedroom, snatched up another of her ,
children, Eddie, and started back.. But she
could not reach the free air again. At the
front window, within six feet of the front 1
door, tho brave mother's blackened remains
were found with those of the boy clasped in
her scorched arms.
Mrs. Bates had been awakened first Sho
called her husband, and whi e she tried to
save the children he started upstairs to the
rescue of her brotiier and her aged mother, j
Mr. Bates made his way through the kitchcn
just as the flames were eating their way
through the felt partition separating the
tm-n fho cloaiiincr Anartments. The
K11A.UUU 11 VIA* VKV W*VV|#...0 |
kitchen stove, a large sized range, was situated
within six inches of this partition and '
on a direct line with the open
window, through which a strong
wind was blowing. Fanned by
this draught the flames spread in every direction,
and Mr. Bates had no sooner reached
the stairs leading to the rooms above than
the fire cut off his retreat. He dashed up
the stairs, shouting at the top of his voice to
alarm the aged woman and his brother-inlaw.
The lalter awo.ee first, and at a glanco
perceived the flames had cut off his escape
down the stairway. Every moment tne
blaze grew more appalling. The felt partitions
were like so much tinder. Bates had i
no sooner reached the upper floor than portions
of the roof began to full.
All the time the smoke became denser.
Bates groped his way through the blinding
clouds and managed to reach his brother-iu
law, (J ray son. Aged Mrs. Grayson missed
iir>r wav in the smoke. She left her room
and started to descend by means of the back
stairway while the two men were preparing
to jump out the front window. She fell near
the head of the stairs and was suffocated.
Grayson jumped out of the window first,
followed by Hates a moment later. Both
men were badly burned. Bates was burned
about the limbs, arms and face. His eyebrows
were scorched, and portions of his
hair and beard were singod off. Grayson's
injuries were principally about the lower
limbs.
Within ten minutes after the department 1
arrived the flames were extinguished. Then
Marshal Campion entered the front door and
stumbled over something in thD hallway. The
obstacle was the charred remains of Mrs Bates. 1
She was burned almost to a crisp. B ??ide her
was the body of her child Eddie, also horribly ,
disfigured. In the bedroom was found the body
of the eldest child, Johnny, aged six years,
likewise charred and burned. Mrs. Grayson's
body was the only one of the four not badly
1 burned. Her death was due apparently to
suffocation, and the features were lifelike (
and easily recognizable. <
Mr. Bates is a clerk in D. B. Fisk's establishment
on "Wabash avenue. Thomas Gray- ;
sonfor the last fifteen years has been a clerk
in the Union National bans.
FATALITY ON THE RAIL
Eight Person* Killed and Many Injured
near Jersey City.
The "Western express on the Pennsylvania i
railroad, which left Jersey City at 3:15 the
other evening, ran into an emigrant train at
Meadow Station, near the Hackensack river
bridge just beyond Jersey City, N. J. The
emigrant train, which left Jersey City at 1
7:50 o'clock, had stopped at a coal shuto,
and at the east side of the Hackensack
rivpr hrid<re tho "Western eXDl'dSS
crashed into the caboose of the emi- ;
I grant train and threw it and a passenger car j
upon the east-bound track. The Lehigh
V alley train No. 3, which left Newark at 8.10
o'clock, on the way to Jersey City, crashed
into the wreck and one of the Lehigh Valley
cars took fire. Eight people were killed outright
and a number were injured. The wreck
was the most frightful seen on the road in
years.
Three of the dead were brought 'to Jersey
City, whenco all the ambulances were summoned.
They were a man and a woman,
both decapitated and terribly mangled, and
a boy of about twolve years, whose legs had
been cut off. All were dressed as emigrants.
One woman had both feet cut off and was
rolled into the ditch. She, with several
others, was taken to Newark. One Pullman
on the Western express and two emigrant
cars were smashed. The victims were noarly
all Norwegian immigrants and cannot speak 1
English. They were bound for the Lehigfi
Valley coal mines. The accident was due to
a telegraph operator's mistake. j

A THAIS' COLLISION.
h
Three Railroad Kmployes Killed in
New Hampshire.
A terrible accident occurred a few days
ago on the northern division of the $
Boston and Lowe 1 railroad, between East An- b
dover aud West Andover, N. H., by which 0
g(
three persons lost their lives and five were in- 0
jured. Tne Chicago expre3i freight train left o
Concord with a doub'e header, the engineers b
being John K Emerson and Daniel Scannell,
and when they reached West Andover to set
off for tho down passenger train it was found v
that they had broken apart. Emerson c
started in search of tho missing cars, and j,
meanwhile the passenger train came along. n
The passenger train men were told that Em- ^
erson ha 1 gone after a part of his train before *
they left the station. That train stopped at
Andover Centre, leaving four passengers,
and started southward. When three-eighths '
of a mile below Andover Centre both trains
came in collision, and as the trains were going
rapidly the recoil was 80 great that the direction
of each locomotive was completely
changed.
As soon as possible trainmen were sent out
on engines to tho rescue of the passengers.
Both locomotives were badly damaged and B
the engineers were missing. After a long C
search they were found dead under the debris, S
as was also William Harvey, a brakeman of L
tho freight train who wont back with engi- H
ncer Emerson on his train. Beside the throe

"errible Scenes of Death at the
Bottom of tfie Mine.
A Wilkesbarre (Penn.) dispatch gives tha
>llowing particulars of a coal miue horror
jar that city:
A terrible oxploslon of gas occurred this
lorning in No. a colliery at Plymouth, opeited
by tho Delaware and Hudson coal cominy,
by which four men were killed,five wert
itally injured and a dozen others were severet
hurt. The dead are as follows: John Levin:ey,
Dennis Titus, Andrew Spennetts,
nomas Collins. Fatally ,'njurea?Frank
cmareux, Thomas Howard, William Coins,
William hvans, Edward Jones, Anthony
pennette.
The mine is one of the largest in this region,
oists on an average three hundred and
ifAnftr.fitrA nam a riaxr onH Amnlf\XTQ KflfnTAOTI , - ,
fTOUUJ-U?V VUiOU UUJj WUU VtW{/tvju WO'rvvM
K) and 800 men and boys. The colliery has
Iways been considered safe. Twelve years ago
le Hillman vein was struck and work comlenced
upon it Last January, however, it
as abandoned and since then the gas has .
^cumulated in largo quantities in the
bandoned workings. The men were all
otifled not to enter the chamber with naked
imps, and a3 an extra precaution a signal
oard was put up, warning "All hands to
eep out."
This order was strictly obeyed until 7
'clock this morning, when a laborer named
ohn Levinslcey, who had been in this coun y
a little over a year, and could not read
Inglish, walked into the gassy chamber with,
naked lamp in his hat. The next moment
(vo terrific explosions occurred and the
liner was hurled into eternity. Seventeen
liners and laborers, who were digging coal
ear by, were hurled in all directions, togethr
with coal, cars, rails, ties and everything
Ise, including two mules. The force of the
xplosion was terrific, and when the gas
aught fire the flames rushed up to the fan*
ouse and soared twenty feet in tho air ?
bove, a distance of 370 feet from the scene
i me explosion.
The scene below where the dead and dying
ly beggars description. All was confusion;
ars were piled up promiscuously, railroad
ails torn up, doors broken down and beneath
11 the debris lay the unfortunate men, whose
ireams of agony were heartrending. As
uickly as possible a rescuing-party was
rganized and the work of taking^ out the
ead and injured began. Dennis Titus was
ound 200 yards from the place where
e had been digging coaL Fart of his head,
nd a leg were blown off, and almost every
tone in his body was broken. Andrew Spen:ette
was thrown against the gangways and
orriblv mangled. Thomas Collins was
inioned under a car, where he had been
drown by the force of the explosion. He
ras almost unrecognizable, being terribly
urned. The miner whose carelessness caused '
he catastrophe was found burned and bat*
ared in a frightful manner.
Five others were found terribly injured,
11 being badly burned, and none of them are
xpectea to recover. The following are serjusly
injured and some of them may die^
11 being badly burned, the doctors saying
bat they are burned internally, having
reathed the flames: Thomas McDermott, -
andy Love, John Uolby, jonn &.tm,
)avid Grimes, John Woods, Joseph Thomas
nd three others.
The scene at the mouth of the mine, when
tie dead and dying were taken up, cannot be
escribed. The noise of the explosion was
eard in the houses ou the surface. The peole
rushed to the breaker, and their grief
new no bounds as they saw husbands,
rothers and sons horribly burned, the flesh
anging in threads from their bodies and
aose not dead crying -upon God to relieve
aem of their sufferings.
As fast as the victims were taken up from
ie death-hole they were taken in charge of
y physicians, who dressed their wounds,
tter which they were taken to their homes,
he town is in mourning over the great dis3ter.
The death list will probably reach ten
afore morning.
