There wm a Urge and very destructive freight wreck en tha Pennsylvania rail road at the Loehlel Iren works, below liar rlsbnrg en Sunday night It was caused by the breaking of an axle of a car, drawn by engine Ne, 1,100, and It occurred about ten p'oleok. Eleven ears were thrown from the rails and scattered In every direc tion. Many of them were smashed te pieces and all four tracks at the place were carried with the debris. Wreck trains were at once sent for and a large force of menwereput te work. The flret track was opened about 2 o'clock this morning, and the second was net cleared until about ten this morning. When Western Express,due here at llllO, arrived here last evening, the train men received orders te run around by Colum bia, thence te Yerk and up the Northern Central railroad te Harrlsburg, Instead of taking the Mount Jey branch, as usual. The train ran as far as Columbia, where It was headed off by another telegram, and sent up along the river instead of by Yerk. It was believed that just as geed time could be made by allowing the train te step until one track was cleared as by going by Yerk. Although a great deal of damage was done by the wreck, no ene was Injured In the least. CANDJ.KMA8 DAY. The Groundhog Palls te See Ills Shadow. Geed Weather te Come. Sunday was Candlemas or Groundhog day and the Intelligencer's old frlend.the groundhog, no doubt settled the weather for the remainder of the winter, which up te the present time has been the mildest known in many years. The superstition Is that If the groundhog 'comes out of his hole upon this day and sees his shadow he will go back te remain for tiie period of six wceks, while there will be cold weather. In case he does net sce his shadow the weather, for the same period, is te be geed. It is certain that the animal did net see his shadow in this section yes terday, as there was quite a geed sized fall of snow during the morning, which was followed by a drizzling rain, lasting nearly auuay. if Mr. Woedchnck came te the top he surely made up his mind te remain out and geed weather will fellow. The traditions and anecdotes of the groundhog have been handed down from time immemorial, and formerly confiding and superstitious old women and men would wait anxiously for the arrival of the 2d of February. Should the day be clear and sunshiny then preparations would be made for a long win ter, and was the day one en which the sun did net shine then believing farmers and ethers would pre pare for the end of winter, and It was net an unusual thing for the farmer te prepare te plant his crops. a Personal Notes.

LANCASTER, A SUCCESSFUL TOUR. T1UIPHS IF TIE COLLEGE liNMUK CLUBS. GLEE ANB An Account or Their Remarkably Suc- eeaaftal Enterprise Large Audiences Greet Them la Several Towns. The name of Lancaster has again been einbhuened with glory; net by the feet ballean this time, but by the Cellege Glee club. The concert tour Just completed was a most flattering one from every point of view. The audiences wero large and appreciative, the alumni enthusiastic, the young ladies most gracious with their smiles of approval, and the receptions uni versally cordial. The pregramme was first class in every respect and the boys left little te be desired In Its rendition. Persons who wero non-partisan declared that, in com parison, the clubs of Lafayette, Wesleyan, Dickinsen, and the University of Pennsyl vania were newhere with the swoet singers of P. A M. One enthusiast In llagerstewn made the assertion that the Lancaster boys even surpassed the Princeton club of this year. Many compliments were passed upon the appearance and gontlemanly de portment of the clubs upon the stage. During the day they were loekod upon everywhere as favorites, and were ontor entor onter talned by the best famllles of the respec tive places they vislted. Net only socially, musically and llnancially was the tour a sttc-cess-lhe resultscan be mere fullynoted after the arrival of next year's froshmen class ; for a number of young men, after hearing the clubs, decided te onter P. A. M. next fall. The ontlre ropertelro of the club, which includes uearly thirty songs, aside from the Instrumental selections, was exhausted in three concerts ent of the four. Mr. Greenawald's sole, ''Ge'Way Ole Man" was twice encored four times, but high water mark was reached in Uagorstewn, where Mr. Irvine's second sole, "The Pullman Train," waa encored five times, thus making six selections sung te the ene number en the pregramme. The antics of Mr. Kershner in the "Watennlllen" and efMr. Nefflnthe "Little Pigs" provoked much applause. Mr. Irvine's imitation of a bugle was rccelved with marked favor, and, In the cheruses, the second basses easily carried off the honors. The mando lin club and Mr. Hepkins en the violin never fulled of an oueoro for their selec tions. The Glee and Mandelin clubs left Lan caseor Tuesday afternoon last and sang at Hanover the same evening. The largest audience that had been seen in Hanover for years was gathered in the epera house.

A great hit was scored In both Froderlck and llagerstewn, by the Mandelin club, when they played " Maryland, My Mary land I" and "Dixey!" When Uagorstewn was propesod as a place for a coucert, the alumni of that vicinity advised the boys net te come, an ticipating a very inferior effert en the part of the club. After the concert they said with ene voice " We are proud of you and of the old institution." The commit tee of arrangements tiore was composed of the RevaDr. Keefer, Mr. Plorsen, the Rev. Snyder and ethers. '-'During the sorenade tendered the young ladles at the Ilugcrs Ilugcrs tewn semlnary the boys Ming " I Leng for Thee."

Orr, and the girls sheuted baek in chorus "Se de we, se de we!" Chambersburg was the last cencert of the trip. Here, as at the preceding towns visited, the college boys were outertalnod In prtvate famllles. Inspiration was created by the presence in the front seats of seventy-five young ladles from Wilsen female college. Dr. Edgar, the president, was at first leth te permit the young ladies te attend, having refused n similar requet when the Dickinsen club sang In Cham bersburg lastyear. Hewever, by the en treaties of Rev. J. G.

RatTale Petrillze, 42 years eld: Gulsoppe his son. aged 22 years, and Felle Lise, 28 yoarseld, were the three Italians whose drunken altercation led te the fire.' Their bodies wero found horribly burned In the basement room. Theso threo men were gambling at the tlme. The hole in which they played was their bedroom, dining room and kitchen. It was 10 by 8. and lumbered te the ceiling with Junk and rub bish of all sorts. Upen a beard placed across a barrel rested a koresono lamp and a quart nask or whisky. Abeve their beads lived fifty souls, and while these slumbered the trio alternately played and quarrelled. About midnight the dlsousslen botween Llsleand the Petrlllzes grew furious, be that neighbors interfered, and for a time hostilities were subdued, hut the last streke of 12 had scarcely faded away when In an swer te n charge of cheating Lise Jumped te his feet, and seizing the lamp, hurled It at the head of his elder opponent. It struck him snuare in the face and exploded. In the melee the bettle of liquor was broken aud the blazing oil aud alcohol fltled the room with flame. The wooden stairways wero llke a tallow candle.and the llumes swept up like a flash. In doing se It Ughted up the hallway and shot llltle forks out through the cracks of the deer and seen attracted attention. In a mement mere the ftames had taken held en the rear s.ainvaya ascending from the same hallway, and thus cut off all escape for tlie occupants. The scenes which occurred among the inmates when they were owakenod wero of the most exciting description. Tiiere was no way for thein te get down, and as they ascended te the attle the ftames followed swiftly upon thorn. Shrieks of terror. Groans of agony and cries for help filled 10 air. Men, women and children fltled the windows and pltoeusly cried for help. Some of the mero vonturesemo even hung from the windows by only a slight held en the Bills. Ladders were hurriedly heisted. Lines of hese wero quickly run off, and "plpe" from the chemical engine was pushed into the flaming mass. In ten minutes the fear of personal safety had subsided, theso whom It was pessible te save had been taken from thoirpesltlons of peril and the wounded had been taken te places where their injuries could be cared for. It was net until after the lire had been practically extinguished that the interior or what was then but a shell could be examined. Chief Webster, followed by soveral flromen, went Inte the building at a little after ene o'clock, and with dlfllculty ascended te the upper floors. The stair ways from the street te the second fleer were completely burned away. When the chief and his companions reached the upper fleer a sight that horri herri fled them met their eyes. Under ene of the windows crouched a human form, burned te a crisp almost, the two palms clasped togcther and kneeliugas though in prayer. Further search shewed In ethor parts of the top fleer saven ethor human forms covered with cinders and ashes, naked and disclosing limbs that had been tern asunder by falling parts of the building. Seelng their escape from the floors below te the street impossible bocause the stairs were rearing masses of fire, the terrifled victims had evidently rushed te the upper fleer In their attemptH te escape and had been roasted as though held evor a lur lur nace. Later two bodles of infants wero re moved from ether parts of the building and the cempleted list of ten human lives was made up. The injured wero removed te hospitals and the dead wero taken te the morgue for Identification. The here of this awful midnight catas catas catas tropliewas Edward M. Wlllard.

Then looking up he saw tlie body of a young child spinning through the air out of the second-story window, thrown there bv a crazed parent or falling from fright.

She was thou entirely unconscious, and, although overy effort known te medical sclonce was used, It was impossible te save her llfe. She died within a few minutes after iter rescue. She was net burned, but died from suffo cation. Her body was removed te the rosldenco of Attorney General Miller. Almest at the same tlme two mero bodies wero taken from the burn ing building. One was that of the secre tary's daughter, Miss Marie, and the ethor was ene of the servants. Beth bodles wero burned teacrlspnnd wero unrecognizable by their features. Miss Tracy's body was distinguished from the ethor only by thosuperlor toxture of what remained of her stockings. The charred remains were Uiken te an undor under undor laker's. Secretary Tracy himself had a most wenderful escape, and Is new lying In 11 semewhat precarious condition at the rosl resl rosl eonco of Hen. J. C. Bancroft Davis, en II street, near IStli. Llke all the ethers he was overcemo In his sleep by the smeke which filled tlie heuse and rondered com pletely helpless. He was discovered in this condition, and with considerable dlfll culty was rcmoved te a place near ene ofthe windows. Crlos for a ladder wero quickly answored and many willing hands woie raised te assist him te the ground. He was at once removed te a neighbor's heuse and was seen Biirrouuded by physicians. The doctors applied artificial means te Induce respiration and succeeded after an hour's work In restoring htm te sonil-censclous-n ess. It was then thought safe te remove him te Judge's Davis' house. He Improved slowly from that tlme en aud remained conscious, recognizing friends whocalled.te Inquire In regard te his condition. Among the first ofthese wero the presi dent, vice presldent and soveral members ofthe cabinet. The full extcnt of his terri terri torri beo affliction Is withheld from him for the present. His first inquiry upon recover ing consciousness was in regard te the safety of his family. He Is gradually gaining in strength. Ills friends are very sangulue of his com pie te recovery. The heuse was completely gutted by flre. The walls are standing, but the in terior presents a picture of ruin and deso lation. The rosldenco of Judge W. S. Cox, of the district supreme court, which ad joins it en the left, was also badly damaged by wuter. The bodles of Mrs. nud Miss Tracy will be taken te the White Heuso thlsaftcrnoeii. Secretary Tracy will be moved te the same place te-morrow. In the rear room of Undertaker flaw ter's establishment tw e bodies He en beards and trestles. They are all that remain of Miss Mary Tracy and of Jesephine, tlie French maid. Miss Tracy evidcntly died from sufloca sufleca sufloca tlen, although she was burned slightly In several places. The head that but a few hours age was such a crown of glory was singed and blackened and tlie bloody hands and wrists wero almost dostltute of skin and en the contracted reddened fingers of the left hand gllsteued rings. One was a diamond, another was simply plain geld, a third was a narrow band of blue enamel set In geld aud the ether was the edge of a ?10 geld piece. Thore was no expression el piltt en the features and death must have ceme before dls flguroment. On the ether slde of the room under a rubber cover was tlie charred mass of human flesh twisted and warped beyond all recognition and supposed te be the remains of the French maid. The flesh wus completely burned off the head and shoulders and from the facial bonus the teeth grinned horribly. The body wus drawn up as though te prcsent the leait possible jurface te the devouring element anil It was ovldent that the great dostreyor had made his summons full of torture. Dr. Wales, who is one of tlie physicians In utteiidaiice ujeii Sccretury Tracy, said this afternoon that tlie seeretary was get ting along very well, mid that the only dauger new te be feared is that smeke in his lungs will cause bronchitis. The secretary, he said, wus bearing up bravely In hisulllictleu. Ills greatest a:tx lety was In regard te his w ife, und the first words uttered by I1I111 011 regaining con sciousness was te urge them te save her llfe. " Save her I Save her !" he crled'plt-' eeusly, and thou relapsed into a slate of Insensibility, It lasted a short time only, hewever, and he Hgaln called out te the doctors te leave 111 tit nud sa 0 iter. He subsequently Inquired for hlsdaughter and told tlie doctors that she tee must be saved. Finally It was concluded that the best ceurse would he te loll him the truth, as the torrible suspense he wus suffering might retard his own recovery. The presi dent was with him at the time, and It was from his lips that he learned the sud news that bis w lfe aud daughter were dead. The blew wai a terrible one, bat ha steed with fortltude, and seen after fell into a restless sleep. Dr. Wales said that the secretary's breath wassttll saturated with the smeke he had Inhaled, but thetewasa slew but steady Improvement tn his goneral symptoms.

The removal will be made this ttftorneon. Socretarlcs Wludem, Neblo and Senaters Hlsceck nud Chattdler wero among the first te call at Judge Davis' heuse.

CLKVKLANJ) INTERVIEWED A Rollover In the Ultimate Triumph or Tariff Reform. The Nush villa A merican prints a lengthy lutorview with ox-PresIdout Clovelund, held by Mr. E. W. Camack, editor of that paper, in the ceurse of which occurs the follewing: Of course the tariff question came up In the course of conversation. I said te Mr. Clevclaud that, as no ethor man had been kept se clesely in contact with tlie tariff re form sentiment of the country as he, no ethor, perhnps, could speak with mero knowledgo as te the progress it was making In the minds of tlie peeple. Mr. Cloveland said that he felt mero con fidant than evor before of the triumph or turiil reform en the lines marked out by the Democratic party. Domecrntla defeat In the last presidential campaign, lnstead of dis couraging, had only strengthened thepur thepur thepur pose and increased the onergy of tariff re formers, and contldeuco lu the result or the next contest appeared te grew ns signs or dissonslen anpoared in protectionist ranks. He thought that ene of the most serious troubles the Republican party would have te encounter was the revolt of the New England manufacturers against the Ro Re publlcan xlley, whlle several Northwest ern states wero new held doubtfully In the Republican column only by reason of Hoctlenai prejudices. Tlie bloody shirt, he said, had dene val iant service in tlie last campaign In coun teracting the offeot or tariff reform argu ment, and unless that could again save the Republican party from defeat nothing eIsq could. The Republicans of the New Eng land aud Northwestern states who have Iioeii hoping for a reduction of tariff dtltles at the hands or the Republican party, were bound te roalize sooner or Juier that this liope is vsln. What, then, would they de about it T Continue the felly of robbing tliemsolves by supporting the Republican party, and of obstructing und defeating the very reform they are clamoring for T "Theso peeple," said Mr. Cleveland, " are already beglnulng te realize that the party which persists in a ceurse hostile te their Interests Is their onemy, and that the party which li lighting te gfve them what they want Is their friend no matter If It does contain seme Confederate brigadiers." Mr. Cloveland said that he thought the Republican party might make seme effort te couclliate the low tariff sentlment in Its own ranks, but the Indications new ap peared te be te the contrary. The party leaders evidently thought it wiser te stand by the contract with the protected manu facturers than te eudanger the solidity of the rich and powerful combination which had holped it se often te victory by de parting a hair's breadth from the letter of the bend. The Republican party, he said, Is driving straight upon the rocks, and could net ihuiige Its ceurse. In the ceurse or the conversation the question or "ballet rerenn" was touched upon, and Mr.-Clevelnnd intorregatod me In regard te the details of the Dortch luw In Tennosseo. He Js Intensely interested in this question, and said It was ene of the most important reforms that had been at tempted for years, and that Its liiiportuitce was becoming greuter as the assaults upon the purity of the ballet bocame Horrer. I asked him if he thought thocause of tariff reform would prellt by such legislation. " Honest goveriunont would profit by It," said Mr. Cleveland, "and se would every worthy cause which dopends upon heuest and net upon corrupt methods for success. The franchise Is net debauched lu the intorest of geed laws and henest government. It Is by theso who have special interests te subsorve at the people's expouse, and net by theso whose interests are in common with the masses, that the ballet Is corrupted. There are no rich and powerful corporations interested In buying 1 floaters ' or coercing ompleves te vote for a reformation of our tariff laws. The iKjwcrs of corruption are employed Ukii the ether slde, and tariff reform, as all ether reforms, must dopend upon the uu uu beught suffrage of the poeplo. If the peo poe pee ple ure capahle of solf-gevoriimont, and are te remain se, thore can't be tee many safe guards about the expression of their will," Iaist Week of Appeals.
