A fatal accident occurred on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad near Lima, Ohio, a few mornings ago. About 9:30 a. m. the dining car in passenger train No. 25 (the Columbian express) left the track 200 feet east of the east end of the passing siding at that plac?, and the two following sleeping cars went with it. The dining car was wrecked and the two . sleepers were badly damaged by being thrown against the engine of east-bound train second 72, which was waiting on the siding for No. 25 to pass. The following is a correct list of the killed: J. H. Curtis, of Chicago, coot in the dining car; H. J. Manuel, of Chicago, cook in the dining car; J. Waif, of Fort Wayne, Ind., fireman on the freight train; unknown man. found in the wreck of the dining car. Seventeen persons were badly injured. The tram was running at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The engine, baggage Car and day coach passed over in safety, but the train parted in the rear of the day coach, and the dining car and two sleepers were thrown over to the north track with terrific force. The accident happened at the east end of the long siding which is north of the main track. The broken rail was found about forty rods east of the switch vsed t>y tne ireignts ease Douaa. The freight train was standing on the siding with the eugine almost up to the switch. The dining car of tho wrecked train jumped to the side track and ran into the freight engine, which telescoped the car half a length. Little was visible of the engine besides the cab and tender. The scene at the wreck was frightful. The sleeping- ar Arden lay on its side in a rittch. The Delphos sleeper was upright but badly wrecked, and the Parisian diningcar was in a similar condition, just as the freight engine had telescoped it. In the front end of this car the cooks were busy getting breakfast, and when the crash came E J. Manuel and J. S. Curtis were in the kitch?n at work. Manuel was caught by the locomotive and the boiler and some timbers and was literally roasted alive. His cries for help were piteous. He lived about half an hour. Curtis was also buried in the wreck. He was not rescued for over an hour and was hon ibly bruised and scalded. He died shortly after being taken out. Both men lived in Chicago. The fireman on the freight train was caught between the tender and boiler and tinea, tus name is >j . rruu, uiu uia uuluo isia Port Wayne, Ind. The body of a man crashed beyond recognition was fonnd under the dining car. In all, about thirty-five or forty person, were injured. Everything possible was done by the railroad officials to alleviate the suffering of the wounded, and they had a full corps of physicians on the grouad in a short time after the accident The track was torn up for a distance of thirty rods east of the switch, and traffic was blocked until 2 o'clock that afternoon. ' i? WINTER VISITORS KILLED. A Horrible Quadruple Murder in Florida. Miss A. H. Bruoe, Mastor Frank Pack wood, Mrs. L. D. Hatch and her son were found murdered in a house occupied by the ?' Packwood family on the east coast, six miles south of New Smyrna, in Volusia County, Fla. Their throats were cut. The victims had 1 apparently been dead for eighteen or twentyfour hours. These people had gone there to spend the winter, having arrived only a week before. Some of them were from 3Tetv j York State.' There is no clue to the murder era. Tramps are suspected of the crime. { The Packwood residence is oa the bank ot ' n liiwtKirti xvivtrr, ma nines ucju?t .ion ouijrina. It is situated in a thick orange grove. The country road is about half a mile in the rear. The place is very isolated. The following speci41 despatch was received from Orange City, Fie.: The house was entered during the night through a window, the intruder smashing the sash and glass to gain an entrance. ( Visitors to the premises next morning ( saw in one corner of the main room on the floor the body of Mrs Hatch. She had been shot through the left eye. In the same room, lying on the i bed, was the body of her six-year-old son. ' He bad been shot under the lert eve and his 1 throat was cut from ear to ear. In the ad- 1 ioining room, lying on the floor, was the body of Frank Packwood, Jr., four years old. He was shot through the head and his throat was cut also. In the same room, lying on the bed, was the bo iy of Miss Bruce. She had been assaulted and her skull and face had been smashed with a heavy weapon. Her face had also been Denetrated bv a bul let and her throat had* been cat. At the broken window a large revolver was found, two chambers having been discharged. On the bed by the side or the body of Miss Bruce lay a double-barrelled shotgun with the stock broken. On the bed, near the body of the Hatch boy, lay a long-bladed butcher knife. Robbery was undoubtedly the motive. FIVE STRIKERS KILLED, A Colorado Town Terrorized by An?, trian aud Italian Rioters. A strike at the mines of the Colorado Coal and Iron Company, at Crested Butte, Col., has resulted much more seriously than was at firman tici pa ted. About 500 Austrian and Italian jpiners employed at these works went out on Vstrike because of a proposed reduction oWrages by the companySince the men went out they have refused to allow the company to bring in new men, have stopped the pumps and fans at tbe works, allowing them to fill with gas until there is danger of the mioea blowing up, and have paraded the streets heavily armed, threatening death to any one who should attempt to assist the company in any manner. Sheriff Shares, of Gunnison, arrived there with a pose of twenty-five men for the purpose ot taking possession of and guarding the mines. No sooner had they alighted irom the train than they were attacked by about two hundred armed Sicilians aud a notpionc ? nhn h? n firintr wita their rifles. The Sheriff held his men lor a mo- I merit and then ordered them to return the fire, whicjithey did with deadly effect, killing flva-strikers. They were all Italians. George Simonici and Matt Grahak, Austrians, were fatally wounded. After the firing the miners retreated and the Sheriff's posse marched up the hill and took possession of the mines and threw up EXIT VOLUNTEER FIREMEN. The Force, to \fhich New Orleans .Paid $190,000 a Year, Goes Out. The New Orleans (La.) Volunteer Fire Department, the last of the large volunteer Are systems in this country, n^ longer ex ists. A paid department his taken its place, i The Volunteer Department has had a prosperous career of sixty-five years in that city. It was entirely, separate from tho city government and made contracts with the autnorities to attend all fires for $190, 000 a year. It owned its own property, engines,* horses and houses. These will be sold to the city. The Volunteer Association will close its official career in very good financial conditioo, for it has other valuable property, t beside its paraphernalia for extinguishing fires, and will have several hundred thousand dollars to its account. It will keep up its organization as a social and charitable society, using its revenues for the care and support of widows and orphans of members of the volunteer force, ana for the (payment of a life insurance as the members drop off. The four branches had thirty-six engines and 5000 members, active and exempt. The change to a paid department has been recommended for sometime by the insurance companies, but was not very popular with ' th? masses. L - c V' '{ THE NEWS EPITOMIZED. Eastern and Middle States.

Prince of Wales's Eldest Son to Wed Princess Victoria of Teck, The principal topic in English aristocratic I circles is the engagement of Prince Albert I f.n "Prinnoea Vipfnrifl MftTV of TeClv. On all sides the utmost satisfaction is expressed, and there is no doubt, says a London special, that the match is a love affair to a far greater extent thaa the majority of royal marriages. No definite date has yet been fixed for the wedding, but it is the general belief that it will take place shortly. Society is on the qui vive in regard to the event, which will undoubtedly be one of the grandest ceremonies ihat has occurred in recent years in England. PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR. Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward, K. G., Duke of Clarence and Avondale. commonly known as "Collars and Cuffs," is the eldest son of the Prince of Wales, and is therefore in the line of direct succession to the throne of Great Britain.

In 1879, with his brother, Prince George, he went to the West Indies on the Bacchante; and in 1880-'82, still on the Bacchante, the two Princes traveled around the world to South America, Australia, and the Cape of Good Hope.

( ; Si 1KB PRINCESS VICTORIA OF TECK. Princess Victoria Mary, or to give her her fall name.

The most serious of all the disasters that have resulted from the late storm in England is the wreck of the British ship Enterkin, Captain Sinclair, which was bound from Hull to Brisbane. She was caught in the storm while bound down the Channel, and was driven upon the Galloper Sands, off Bamsgate. Thirty lives were lost in this disaster, every person on board except an Kaw Knin/* I UUJ U1 \J WW UUU. The Enterkin was driven ashore almost broadiide on. After she had struck, a part : of the crew succeeded in launching a boat, and got clear of the ship. They headed ' shoreward, but were almost immediately thrown into the sea by the swamping of their boat by a high roller. Every 1 mem who was in the boat was drowned, almost in sight of his comrades on the wreck, i Shortly afterward the ship, which had been standing on a comparatively even keel, was struck by a tremendously high sea. She keeled over, throwing every person aboard of her into the water. 1 Only one of them, the appentice boy, suo> ' ceeded in gaining the weather rigging, which was just awash. Here the lad re- i mained throughout the night, drenched and | almost frozen. Next morning a fishing smack sighted the wreck an i bore down to , it. With much difficulty a boat was got ( alongside the Enternin, and the boy was taken off. Chief Joel B. Mayes Dead. Joel B.

A Boston dispatch says that no doubt is longer entertained there of the correctness of tl^Hdentiflcation of the Russall Sage bomil thnHflr with Henry L. Norcrosi, tne note broker, of Somerville. The evideuce is re-. earded as completed by the letter wtucn tie left to bis mother, statins; that he was going to New York to get $1,200,000, and that if he was not successful he should kill himself. Norcross's parents admit the identification and the opinion of many of Norcross's a?r quaintances corroborates them. Theylari not disposed to talk further for publication but let the public know tbat they are 'iio longer in doubt as to the fate of their son. Among those who have followed the case most closely the evidence is regarded as final to the degree that nothing more sat if act or y is desired or could be asked. They say that the case has in that respect passed into history. No doubt is entertained that Norcross was insane. 1 Important Railroad Decision, i The United States Supreme Court at J Washington held, in an opinion just rendered by Justice Field, that a tax levied by the State of Maine on th9 gross receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway Company oL Canada for tbe privilege of exercising itj franchises within the State of Maine was legal and constitutional and was not contrarv to the provision of the Constitution prohibiting the States from regulating interstate commerce.

The list includes 281 postmasters and a large number of army and navy appointments and appointments and promotions in the revenue marine service? i'he introduction of bills was resumed, 214 v being presented. Among them were bills to erect monuments to General U. S. Grant and Martha Washington, to organize permanent Census Bureau, to repeal the law prohibiting ex-Confederates from entering the Army and Navy of the United States, and a number of important merchant marine and shipping bills. Proposed increased pension legislation received several accessions, including a hill ^pensioning all soldiers who fought in Indian wars. Two additional bills #were added to the list of Chinese restriction measures. 6th Day.?The Vice-President announced the appointment of Mr. Morrill as Regent of the Smithsonian Institution, to fill a vacancy Mr. Sherman presented remonstrances of several yearly meetings of Friends in Indiana against the traffic in intoxicating liquors and firearms in Central Africa A-monr the bills introduced and referred were the following: For the purchase of a site for a building for the Supreme Court of the United States.

It .Numbers Only Sixteen Men, but Gives Promise of Growing Tennessee has a standing army. At present it consists of only sixteen men, and is sleeping in nine tents, but gives promise or growing. The army is bivouacked on Capitol Hill, Nashville, waiting orders to march on Briceville. The army arrived there lrom Memphis the ?tber day. It dispersed itself over the city during the morning, but late in the afternoon came together again and gathered at the Capitol. The State officials are not very talkative, but it was learned that these sixteen men have been sworn in service for one year, and that it is the intention to swear in altogether 150. They will be regularly equipped as soldiers, and fifty men will be placed at each of the branch prisons at Coal Croak, Briceville and Oliver Springs. Fob the season, the shipments of apples from New York to Great Britain amount to 837.391 barrels, as against last year. '..-Jr.ArW.-' i. 4*' IIP AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. VALUE OF OAT HAT. Hay of oats is only half as nutritious as tnat 01 timotny grass, me greea fodder is about of the same relative value. The relative money values are fifteen cents per 100 pounds for the green oats and filty cents for the dry hay, against twenty-eight cents per 100 pounds for the green timothy and ninetyeight cents for the hay. The timothy is alio more digestible than the oats.? New Torii Times. APPLE POMACE AS PEED. If vised while fresh, cattle will eat apple pomace and get considerable good from it. But it turns quickly to alcoholic and acid fermentation, and when this occurs it has little, if any, value for feeding. It is then not even good for fertilizing the soil, as its acidity kills vegetation that it comes in contact with. When frozen and rotted the following year it again becomes of some value as a fertilizer.?Boston Cultivator. TO CLEAN SADDLES. To clean a saddle take a good clean, deorderized benzine, about seventy-five gravity, and thoroughly wash the saddle in it; don't hesitate to put considerable elbow grease along with it, ,it will take considerable rubbing. Use plenty of solt rags, they soon get dirty as the dirt ' rubs out of the leather, so you will.hare to vise plenty of them. On the buckskin rub fine pipe-clay, which will absorb and 1 dry out the dirt and stains. If the hog- ' Ekic has lost its color, or you wish to makjit look nice and new, brush it over lightly with an extract made from the best English saffron. Anyone will find that oxalic acid, dissolved in soft water, will clean fair or russet leather very nicely. Rub on with a piece of white cotton, rag. It is not good for sore hands, or to use as a beverage.?Hortt I Bedew. THE CULTURE OF THE SQUASH. The manner of growth of the gourd family, to which the squash, melon and cucumber all belong, is such that a special mode of culture is required to produce a full yield of fruit. This peculiarity is that the vine, if left alone, -will throw out a long main stem aad only a few side stems. The main stem produces mostly male blossoms and the ' female or fruit-producing flowers are ' borne' on the side shoots. Thus, unless the main stem be shortened and the side | nes encouraged, there will be a small j crop of fruit; and, as this was your dilemma, it is probable the main stem was not checked in its usually luxuriant i growth. This plant and others of the i ? 21?.

Then, with good manuring and clean culture, the ground may be covered with fruit.?New York Timt?. "WATERING THE HENS IN WINTER. Unless the hens can have plenty of it, they cannot produce eggs. In the winter season, when the drinking vessels bccome frozen up with ice and are liable to crack from cold, the matter of providing water becomes a difficulty. We all know that a cold draught of water in winter chills the body, as it must be warmed by the body after ft is drink; consequently, ice-water causes a loss of bodily heat. As the beat is produced from thefood,all losses of heat are losses of food. Now,it is just as easy to water the hens at regular hours as it is to water [ the large stock, and the best mode of so [ doing is to use wooden troughs long I allnnr oil tl^o Vipna tn rlrint at I , ) CUUUgu tv ?UW1?

In ^ this manner the troughs will be kept j clean,the hens will learn to drink-at reg- ( ular periods, tnd the warm water will j invigorate them. In fact, nothing is so { I invigorating, or will assist in warding of! 1 the cold when the hens come off the } roost in the morning, with the ther- , mometer below zero, than a drink of { warm water.?Farm and Firetide. WINTER CARE OF SWINE. To do their best, or even fairly well, ' swine must be shielded from the inclem- ! encies of the weather,says Galen Wilson, j They should have, as near possible, sum- : mer conditions in winter. This can be ; easily and cheaply accomplished. The 1 pen should be floored,first packing earth between and flush with the face of the sills. The floor will then rest partly on a the sills and the earth. Cold air cannot ^ then get under the floor to chill it. Beneath where the animals sleep, floor, earth and sills will be >\ arm all winter, a The sides of the pen should be double- t. boaraea, ana tue space ueiwecu ue uucu with sawdust or cut straw, packed close, d The under side of the roof should be ? ceiled with boards or building paper, b The door should be in the end, if a low * pen, and be in two parts, an upper and ti a lower. In all but extremely cold v weather the upper part of the door can be thrown open, or partly, to give nec- c cssary ventilation. Hang a thermometer <3 inside, and keep it at about sixty degrees. This gives "summer conditions," r so far as temperature is concerned. a About six quarts or a peck of beets E and au ear of corn twice a day will win- t ter a mature breeding sow as well as it w can be done. They need no "slops" n nor scarcely any drinking water. There h is sufficiency in the beets. In tho ab- p sence of beets, tho feed should be made ti up principally of wheat bran, mill feed, tl a very little corn, cut aud steamed c clover and some refuse, or other vege- s' tabies of any kind. A shovelful of coal & ashes, earth or rotton wood occasionally is desirable. Salt should be placed be- t fore them occasionally iu bulk, but not f in greesy dish-water or other slops. Let I s their drinking water always be pure and e not too cold. Pleasant days, when the j, temperature is agreeable, they may be allowed tu run out.?JYeio York Voice. Y t 8HKKP NOMENCLATURE. r The folllov.ing is from Stephens's Book i of the Farm: W"iien uewboru it is called c a "la:rb;" if male, in Scotiaud, a "tup- s lamb.

In England lambs after | they*are eight months old, till the first shearing, "ewe" and "weather-tegs," according to sex. In Scotland a "ewe* hogg" aft&r the first clipping is called a j "gimmer," a "tup-hog," a "shearing tup," and a 4*wether hog" a "dinmont." The animal corresponding to the name of "gimmer" in Scotland is called in England a "theave" until it bears the first lamb, after which it is termed a "ewe of four teeth;" tht year after, "ewe of six teeth,"and after that a "fullmouthed ewe." The "dmmont" in Scotland answers in England to the title of , "shear hog" until they are deprived of the fleece, after which they are called' "two-shear wethers," and atterwards "wethers." In Scotland the shearing brings about another change of names; ,? ?t _t_ _ _ _ 1 L -- tnus tne "gimmer, u sue is in umu is called a "ewe;" if barren a "barrengimmer;" and an "eild-gimmer" if she is not?pat to "tup" or "rata."

When three times shorn a ewe is called a "twinter-ewe," a "tup," a "three-shear tup;" a "wether"- undergoes no change of name, but still continues to be called by that name. After the fourth shearing,i "ewe" is a "threewinter ewe," or an "aged ewe;" a "tup" is known as an "aged tup." When a 4'ewe" fails to be with lamb a second time, she is called a "tup-ewe" or "barren-ewe;" when she ceases to give milk a "yeld-ewe;" when removed from the breeding flock, at whatever age, she is called a "draft;" when put aside unfit" for breeding a "draft-gimmer;" and Aiif AP fka fof Al* tTrtntKT tYUCUUiaib&u VUW VI i/uu auw v* jvmm^ stock, lambs, diamoata, or wethers are called "sheddings," "tails," or "drafts." FABH AND GARDEN NOTES. Horses should not be left out in the chill rains which we will hare from now on. When colts are shivering in th? open air, with their backs bowed and' heads down, such negligence is coitly,to say nothing of the cruelty. The friction due to the passage of water through a long pipe .is so great that if a half-inch pipe 2500 feet long is used the water would not reach, the outlet. To bring the water this distance it would be necessary to have the upper half of the pipe at least one inch in diameter. One of the commonest and most stupid faults seen in stock-raising is the semistarvation of young animals, particularly calves and edits. With good care their t growth is more chiefly obtained than any I other time of life, and young animals are I ilmost sure, with ignorant farmers, to be 1 raiaod nn a Hint that nrematurel* dwarfo 1 them for life. Clover hay, cat very fine and steeped in boiling water over night, and-* sprinkled with corn meal slightly, fed three times a week, is excellent, bat unless it is exceedingly fine the chieks cannot eat it. One of the best invigorators, ^ however, is the decoction from the, a clover (clover tea), given in place of the fi drinking water occasionally, bat it matt j*J be fresh and not stale. >1 One who has tried the Honied Dorset U sheep is very emphatic in his assertion that they cannot be excelled by any other* I as general purpose sheep for the middle temperate zone. They are especial)y fl noted for their prolificacy of breeding, ^ usually raising two lambs per ewe per ^ annum Thftv at? larm bodied, heaw.' seated, produce ad excellent quality of mutton aad a good fleece or medium uoarse wool. If one pipe is to supply two outlets, J ;he supply pipe next to the spring must | 3e large enough to fully fill both of 1 ;hem. Otherwise the water will take I ;he easier way of escape and leave the >ther pipe without any water. If the -j stream will fill a one-and-a-half inch pipe at the head, the other pipes may be ' >ne inch in diameter, because the larger )ipe will have a capacity of two and a , quarter times that of the one-inch pipe. Keep your eye?and nose too?on the inen cream strainer, and the rag used for washing the milk and . eream cans, be churn and the butter worker.

A single cow, in cold weather, will )e more profitable if fed generously ban two cows fed stingily, and if both loused and fed well, it will pay better han a dozen fed and housed poorly. )ne-half the rations given in winter s often necessary to supply animal heat. Ivoid this waste by having wara ouarera. If the milk is allowed to shrink ,t the beginning of cold weather,' 'bj y leglecting these precautions, it will b< Lifficult to revive the supply. Fowls at the moulting season undergo great drain of the system to supply , ;j he growth of new feathers. Deaths rom this cause are, apart from a little irect peci4^ry loss, not looked upon as misfortune. The sure eye of nature as picked out the very ones that joa"" a rould be glad to be rid of could yoa de- 'jj ect them,and left you the hardiest indi- 8 iduals to breed from, the weakness of uch particular ones, moreover, often. $ onsisting in some profound fault that 'Jjj oes not show itself. V The clover plant is no exception to the ? ale mac a very lar^e growiu ui icat ia pt to be at the expense of the seed crop. Jut there is one way of manuring clover o make it seed abundantly,- and that is rith mineral fertilizers. While stable lanuring tends to excess of vine, the ' ?rgo growth produced by applying phoshate and potash increases seed proporionably. Much, however, depends on be season. Dry weather, after the first utting, which forces the roots into the ubsoil for moisture, is usually favorable o'seed production. There can be no dispute about the fact bat it is wisdom and economy both, in owl breeding, to "feed well from the hell" upward. If your birds are intendd for the market only, they are always a readiness thus for killings if for breedug, to "feed well from the shell" upward. If your birds are intended for he market only, they are always in. i eadincss thus for killing; if for breedng, they are thus always in the best ouditiou for the purpose; if for the how pens, there is no fattening or foreng to do at the last hour to render them n presentable shape. So we would, hercforc, recommend good care, good ecd, and good quarters for poultry all he time. ^
