AN APPALLING ACCIDENT. An Express Train Runs Into a Body of Work. men, Killing Twelve or Fineen of Thern and Wounding Many Others-The Track Covered with Mangled Men and Blood. A New York dispatch of Thursday says a frightful accident took place that moru ing on the Eric Railroad. between Allen dale and Hohokus. Over a dozen mangled bodies on the track attested the neglect of some one who should have given warngnr. A gang of Italian laborers were blasting on the railroad near a sharp curve about three-quarters of a mile above Hohokus. The Chicago Express. which was due the hour before, had not arrived, and inhese men, whose foreman should have given a warning whistle when the train was ap proaching tf curve, were busy at work unconscious of the terrible fate in store for them. The Express dashed through the gang, killing 12 or 13 and wounding many others. The shrieks of the victims were heartrending. and when the train passed the track preZsented the sickeniug sight of being covered with mangled bodies, the rails being spattered with blood, and ragged flesh and detached limbs being scattered in all directions. Some of the bodies were mutilated beyond description and crushed out of all semblance of humanity. Death must have come to most of the victims in stantly. but some appeared to be yet quiver ing and life ebbing away when the train slowed-up. Anothe.- account of the terrible accident says that about 100 Italians were at work on the road-bed when the train came along, and the workmen stepped on the other track to allow it to pass, but just then the Chicago express thundered down on them at the rate of 50 miles an hour and literally mowed its way through struggling unfor tunates right and left, tearing legs aud arms and heads off and grinding flesh into the road-bed for 200 or :300 feet. So 11erce was the shock that although the engine struck nothing but human beings, the pow erful cowcatcher was torn, twisted and broken into pieces. Some of the men were crowded against the rocks in a very narrov, space. The engineer of the express train reversed his engine and was coming to a stbp when the passengers told him to go ahead. Looking back, they saw the unin jured Italians acting like maniacs. They were yelling, gesticulating and tearing their clothes. Some were kneeling and others dashing about the middle of the ghastly pile of mangled bodies. When they saw the train stopping they made a rush for it. and had they reached it they undoubtedly would have murdered the engineer, fireman and conductor. Mr. March, the padrone who supplies the Erie Railroad Company with its Italian laborers, arrived early at Paterson. He identified the men by means of their num bers, which are written on slips and carried by the men in little tin boxes. Six or seven hundred dollars was found on the ns of the dead men and was taken by ,c to be handed to the Italian Consul at New York, in trust for their relatives. March's action was the source of indigna tion to the other Italians, who wanted to take charge of the money themselves. They would have mobbed him but for the timely interference of two policemen. Visiting the Home of His Boyhood. FAYETTEVILLE, N. Y., July 19.-This beautiful little village, the boyhood home of Grover Clevelana, was to-day brilliantly decorated with national colors and insignia of popular greeting to the republic's Presi dent. The large delegations from Syra cuse and adjacent villages and towns caine in during the forenoon and the village streets were filled with curious crowds. Residences and business places were pro fusely decorated. Mr. Cleveland's home, -the schoolhouse and academy which he attended were suitably decorated, also the plain homestead of Mrs. Hoyt, the Presi dent's sister. The Presidential party, including Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, and Secretary and ~r.Fairchild, diove here from Casenova, ' iurely making a two hours' ride through the beautiful region. They reached here shortly before noon, driving through the multitude in the main street to Mrs. Hoyt's residence. A committee of old acquaint ances received and escorted the President. The large delegation of Syracusians in car riage and on horseback was drawn up near the Hoyt residence and the party passed through the lines. A public reception took place an hour later in Clinton Park, where the President and Mrs. Cleveland were escorted by a procession. headed by the Syracuse police and followed by about 100 citizens of Fayetteville and the village au thcritie?. Howard H. Edwards, his boyhood com panion, made a brief address of welcome. The President, on being introduced to the large assemblage, made acknowledgment by a formal bow and a brief speech, in which he referred to the scenes of his boy bood. - Then he and Mrs. Cleveland stepped from~ the top of the platform, and for two hours received the salutations of the peo ple. Alter dining with Mrs. Hoyt, at about 3 dclock the party started on their way back to Cazenovia, and at Manhuer were the reo'ipients of a brief and cordial reception from the people of that place. They will take a spftciai Zr-.un at 6.80 this evening for Washington, niding a brief stop at Courtland, where Col Las..cat will join them. A Novel Proceeding. A proceeding that was new, but appa rently good law and good policy, was had last week before Judge Pressley. Some days ago the attorneys for Mr. George Johnstone, in investigating some rumored threats made og John B. Jones, asked Mr. W. H. Hunt, Jr., privately, if he had heard the deceased use thrai. He replied that he had not. He was then ask~ed if hie had Aeard anyoue say the deceased u~sed threats. He replied that he L:ad; but when fmcther questioned as to his informant, he declined to answer on the grotid that the informa tion was given him in contidence, and to reveal the source information .of his infor mation would be a breach of conlidence. The attorneys then obtained from Juage Pressley a rule against Mr. Hunt requig him to show cause why he should not dis close the person's name. Bkfore return was made to the rule, Mr. S. A. Boozer came forward voluntarily and acknow ledged to the attorneys that he was the per son, and expressed his willingness to tell them all he knew in the case; and this set tied the matter.- KaeberryV Obseirer. A Hint for Hot Mjjhts. If you are troubled with insoninia these sultry nights, just turn the faucet of cold water in your bath-room for a minute or two upon your feet and then thoroughly dry them. Haul taut your mosujmto bar, let you head lie low, and. like the pious country blacksmith in his pew~ at church, close your eves and think of no thing. The cold water drives the bood to the head and produces a soporific effect. A big Portuguese ornion sliced and nicely seasoned and eaten with thin bread, in the form of sandwiches, would be good. An ordinarv United RLates onion will do if the - reat big fellows are out of the m-arket. Unions are full of opium. Let busimness and all mental labor go out of your head.

It is a fact well known in manufac turing circles that the vast bulk of the heat contained in coal is wasted. Only fourteen out of the hundred parts of carbon is actually utilized. Hence. one of the problems of chemistry has been to get more power, in the way of heat and light, out of a given quantity of coal. Prof. T. S. C. Lowe claims to have solved this problem, a matter which is of vast importance. if it is a fact. The process is to pulverize *e coal, and, in converting it into gas, the coal is re duced to a powdered form so fine that it will float in the atmosphere, and it is carried into the burning furnace by a current of air artificially produccd. In the powdered form everything is con sumed, as it makes no smoke and leaves no ashes. This would utilize the moun tains of so-called waste, now piled up near coal mines and manufactories. But Prof. Lowe's invention goes further. The coal is converted into a water gas. A ton of anthracite coal will generate from eighty to a hundred cubic feet of ras. The cost will be about nine cents i cubic foot. This invention is already in use in the city of Troy, in the laun dries of that place, and is also used for power and for heating and cooking in hotels and restaurants. The gas fur nished is non-luminous and resembles that from alcohol. These facts have come out of a report to the Scranton board of trade which calls the nw in vention anthracite gas. The result will be a marvelous ceonomy in the heating of houses and the cooking of food, while one ton of coal will go as far as a hun dred of tons nowadays. - Demorest's Monthly. BRIC-A-BRAC.
