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.
Keep the thoughts of maturimg notes. in
terest upon mortgages, the good-looking
chap that was attentive to your best girl,
and all such enemies to repose. on the out
side of your mosquito netting.-zchange.

English people aire aghast at a sen
tence recently pronounced by an En
glish clergyman who was sitting as a
magistrate. An old man G9 years of
age was brought before him accused of
stealing a shirt. He was at once sen
tenced by the reverend judge to five
years' penal servitude. It was a fortu
nate thing for the old man that theft is
no longer punishable by death.
A Schuyler, Neb., man was summon- I
ed on a jury. He walked into the court
room, drew off his coat and threw it
over the balusters. A large, empty flask
dropped out of the inside pocket onto
the floor. The juror gathered it up and
meekly inquired if he was competent to
sit. He was informed that it he would 1
get the bottle filled and pass it to the
court he could remain in the box.
The Fuel of the Future.
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
