Frlghtftil Catastrophe on the Frio
Railroad.
NEW YORK, July 21.—A terrible ac;
cidont occurred on the Etle railroad be
tween Allendale audllohokus this fore
noon. It was evidently the result of
neglect and caused the doath of fifteen
men.
A gang of Italians were at woik
ballasting on the railroad a little dis
tance from a sharp curve about three
fourths of a mile above Ilohokus.
Tho Chicago express, which was due
an hour before, had not arrived, and
these men whose foreman should have
given a warning whistle when the tram
was approaching the sharp curve, were
busy at work unconscious ot the terrible
fato which was in store for them.
Train No. 12, tho express which was
due an hour prtvioas, rushed round the
curye before the men had the slightest
warning, .and dashed through them
Killing twelve on tho spot and w mill
ing many others. The shrieks of tho
victims was heartrending, and v. hen
the train slowed up tho tracks pre
sented the sickening sight of being cov
ered with mangled bodies, the rails be
ing spattered with blood and broken
limbs, and piece? of ragged flesh bcii g
scattered in all directions.
Some of the bodies were mangled be
yond description and crushed out of all
semblance to humanity. To most of the
victims death must have come instanta
neously, but some of them appeared to
be yet quivering and life ebbing away
when the train was brought to a stand
still.
Mr. W. L. Hudson, a passenger
which was on n local train behind the
Chicago express, in conversation with a
reporter, described the scene as oi e the
of most sickeuing that could be wit- j
nesaed.
"Along tho tracks," he said "were
arms, legs, trunks, and other parts of ,
bodies ; and tracks for a long distance
were slippery with blood. The disas
ter took place with such appaliug sud
denness that men did not know till the
traiu was down on them. The conduc- i
tor of the train on which I rode said I
that the traiu hands of the express
were not to blame, lie believed the f
foreman of the gang was responsible
for the disaster by neglecting to give
warning.
A train was op on its way from New
York, and the Italians had all crowded
over the down track. Many of them
had their backs turned, and all were
ignorant of the coming of the big en-j
giue which drew the Chicago express. ;
Suddenly the express, which was be* I
hind time swept around tlio
curve and dashed into the •** ir p
It literally mow*-'
mtm • _ j,, w ,,y ttrollilli
. iiDlortuuatea light atiil leit
..og legs and arms and heads off and
grinding flesh into the roadbed for two
or three hundred feet.
So fierce was the shock that, although
the engine struck nothing but human
beings, the powerful cowcatcher was
torn, twisted and broken into pieces.
Some of the Italians were crowded in
against tire rocks, a very nairow space,
and crouched down in terror.
The engineer of the express reversed
his engiue and was coming to a stop
when the passengers told him to go v
head. Looking back they saw the un
injured Italians acting like maniacs.
They were yelling, gesticulating and
tearing their clothes. Some were kneel
ing and others dashing about in the
middle of the ghastly pile of maucled
bodies. When they saw* the train stop
ping they made a rush for it and had
they reached it undoubtedly the en
gineer, firemen and conductor would
have been murdered. For this reason
it was deemed best to go on to Jersey
City, where the engineer and conduc
tor were closeted with the oilicers of
the road and away from where tl.ey
• could be interviewed.
Passengers on the the following train
had an awful sight when they reached
the scene. All along the track were
pieces of flesh, legs, arms, hands and
head 3, while the roadbed was a mass of
of blood. Here and there scattered were
pieces of red handkerchiefs, trousers,
coats and hats. Those of the Italians
who escaped with their lives had dis
appeared. Some of them took to the
woods and others fled toward Ilohokus.
It is now believed many of them aie
demented, the awful suddenness of the
slaughter and the deadly work of the
big engine crazing them. It is impossi
ble to giye their names,for tliey like other
gangs of their countrymen emplyed on
similar work are known not by names
but by numbers.
The engineer of the train in a state
ment made when he flrst reached
New Jersey City and which was veri
fied by a number of passengers, says
before he reached the curve he blew a
warning whistle, not knowing, how
eyer, that any people were on the track.
The moment his train had turned the
curve, he saw the Italians huddled like
a flock of sheep on the very track his
engine was on. They had got there to
avoid a train coming from New York
city, and had their backs turned to the
express. He tried bard to stop his
train, but no human power could have
done so in time to avoid the killing of
the men. The engiue he says mowed
them down as a scythe cuts grass, and
their maugled bodies were thrown in
all directions. The conductor did not
know of what had happened until the
train began to slow up.
Passengers on the following trains
counted fifteen bodies and other parte
of other bodies. It is not know how
many ware killed,but it is thouhc that
manymore than fifteen met death. It is
also not known whether the foreman
escaped or was killed, and it will be
necessary to find the men who fled he
fore the actual number can bo ascer
tained. Nearly all those who escaped
with their lives are wounded, but Low
seriously no one can yet tell.
The blaine, so far as can be learned,
for this terrible slaughter rests upon
the foreman of the gang, for the com
! pany ofllceils say it was his duty to
watch for traius and get his men out of
the way of danger, lie failed, it would
appear, so to do- a d the result is this
frightful accident. It Is thought that
his attention was so wholly engrossed
in the advancing train going out that
, lie did not IOOK in the opposite direc
tion. The noiso of the other, too, it is
■ believed,drownodthonoise of the express
andtbus left him in ignorance of its ap
proach. lie gathered the unfortunate
Italians ou the track where they were
safe from one train, only to place them
in the path of certain deathon the track
along which was tearing the express
train.
The company will make a rigid in
vestigation into the accident and en
deavor to place the responsibility upon
those to whom it belongs. There will
also be a coroner's inquest held and as
many witnesses as can be reached will
be compelled to tell what they know of
the matter.
Ills SIN DAY OKI'.
A liny With n ("Jilnoso in Moll
' St reet.
Citing Look is a dude, and, it is su
perfluous to add, a he washerwoman,
lie engineers a laundry in Jersey City,
and, though cheap white labor is now
j undermining his trade by doing up eol
i lars at a cent am! a half, while the high
j priced Chim so still stick to two cents,
; lie is comfortably off.
The Chinamen 111 this country have
taken the places of men aboard the
whale skips of old. They workday and
niglit in 'watches,' one man turning in
to a bunk when another rolls out. By
conscientiously rolling in and out day
and night, charging two cents for col
lars and living on live cents' worth of
beef and twenty cents' worth of vege
tables six days in the week, they are
nearly all well to do. They would be
j richer it there was no Sunday, but on
I Sundays they all gamble and drink and
j dissipate in every way known to us and
in several ways that we don't care to
know, and that reduces the profits and
prevents their being really* rich enough
to buy our aldermen and senators and
become of political importance.
It was Sunday. Chiug Lock put a
clean shirt into a coat—both coat and
shirt being exactly the same in size and
shape, but the shirt being of cotton,
while the coat was of the most Orien
tally dudesque lavender colored silk,
lie had previously put on a pair of
drawers that ended in such a llare of
linen that ho swaddled his feet in it as
wo do in our socks. Then he had don
ned his white soled, turned u" *"
aud his $4 misfit trousor® suoes
what hats and it, is strange
able to be- Chinamen are
xe> " .j . Where they get them and
..., are among the Celestial mysteries,
j Once in all his clothes, he performed a
simple act that showed that the Chi
nese can quickly alter a national cus
tutn, even when it is twenty centuries
old. lie did this by curling up liis pig
tail 011 the back of liis bead. The San
Francisco gamins had not jingled these
human be'l ropes for more than three
! months, when every Chinaman on the
| continent began to do up his liair, and
thus revolutionized an ancient custom
as quickly as the most conservative
Jerseyman takes to rye when lie finds
he can't get apple.
CARRYING HIS CASII.
Ching Look took $-00 with him as Le
started out for New York—s7oo sewed
in his undershirt and SIOO in his
breeches pocket. It was all he had in
the world, and represented live years'
woik and the swapping of t wo.lauiulries
as Will as the wreckage of 200 Sundays
in Mott street. Every Chinaman car
ries his money in this way, or else puts
it into his trunk. As young Capt.Mac-
Cullagh remarked the other day : 'The
crooks think they are very clever, but
the Chinese trunk isasuap'they haven't
got on to yet."
Cliing Look pattered on board tlie
ferry-boat, and softly sped through the
New York streets toward Mott street,
the Chinatown of Gotham. To cela
brate the holiday he bought a fifteen
cent cigar in a showy tobacco store on
Cortlandt street. Half a block further
on a tall and languid man in a red shirt
reached out as he passed Ching Look,
took the cigar from the Chinaman's
mouth, thanked him, put it in his own
mouth and went on, almost without
stopping. Ching Look did not pause,
either. In fact, he walked the more
rapidly. But he kept his face so
thoroughly under control that if you
would have seen him when the man
took his cigar you might have supposed
he bought the weed on purpose to have
that Happen.
Twenty minutes later lie was in Chi
natown, reading tlie Chinese morniug
paper. This Oriental sheet is a most
curious periodical. It consists of a lit
tle piece of the side of a house in Mott
street,on the bricks or which are posted
all the reports of news and all the ad
vertisements of the Chinese colony, on
red paper,badly lettered with India ink.
Every Chinaman who has anything to
say or to sell contributes to this queer
paper and publishes his contribution
with a paste pot. Ching Look read of
all the laundries then to let, and of all
the Chinamen who wanted laundries,
aud of culls to meetings,announcements
of gambling games, and, in short, all
the news of the day. His enjoyment of
the mental repast was interrupted by a
slight adventure. A ragged lad, of for
midable face and breadth of shoulders,
swaggared up to him, shoeblacking box
in hand, and pointed to Ching's shoes.
Ching looked to see what he had point
ed at, and the lad 'pasted him,' as he
would term it, with a quid of tobacco,
It was deftly done, without exciting
the Chinaman's suspicion beforehand
in the least, and so thoroughly that
Ching Look imagined one eye burned
out while half his face was discolored.
The Chinaman meekly wiped his face,
and the bootblack swaggered off with a
grin.
'l'ye got no use for ye,' said the lad
over his shoulder.
IK TOM J.EE'S CELLAit
Ching dropped down into Torn Leo's
cellar, and, with a face as immobile as
a musk, told what had befallen him to
a dozen Chinamen before and behind
the counters, all with faces possessive
of the emotional aspect of pumpkins.
Eight of them grunted, and the ninth
took up a roll of padded silk and poured
tea out of it into a cup and handed it to
Ching. The padded silk had buried in
it (to keep hot) a teapot. Chin# sat
down and drank, and developed a
twinkle of happiness in his leather face.
There were no Caucasians there to hurt
him, and, on the other hand, Chinamen
kept dropping in to buy dried chickens,
dried llsh, dried goose, dried eels, dried
potatoes, dried rice, dried fruit, dried
bay leaves, dried tea leaves and wot
opium—all imported from China, and
all obtainable here (except the tea and
opium) in better condition and at less
cost. Those who Knew Cliing very
well called him a damly and joked him
about his clothes, for ho was more ex
pensively dressed than any of them,and
he was younger and bettor looking.
They asked him if he had come to set)
the girls, and he replied .• 'No; to gam
tile.' A little group formed and drop
ped into a cellar near by.
Chiug said he had about S2O to lose.
Ho and his comrades gathered around a
table marked off with two chalk lines
at right angles to one another, so that
the surface was divided into four quar
ters. The proprietor brought out a lot
of bits of ivory in a basket, the others
all got into chairs on their toes and sat
upon their heels, and the game of fan
tan began. Ching lost steadily, and in
the midst of his losings gave a crisp bill
to a woo begone Chinaman who came
in and told of a long illness and the
consumption of all his savings. All the
other Chinamen gave liberally, as is
their custom, and the recipient looked
yearningly at the fan tan table, but
managed to withdraw without Yielding
to the strongest instinct of his race by
risking his new gotteu money on the
board.—X 1". Sun.

luls In Soma Moral Itelliq-t lons.
It hud been tin long, weary years
since I last met Jay Gould until 1 called
upon him yesterday to renew tlio ab
quaintance and discuss the happy past.
Ton years of patient toil and earnest
endeavor on my part, ton years or phil
anthropy on his, have been llled away
in the grim and greedy heretofore.
Both of us have changed in that time,
though Jay has changed more than I
have. Perhaps that is liecause he has
been thrown more in contact with
change than 1 have.
Still, I have changed n good deal in
those years,for when L called at Irving
ton yesterday Mr. Gould did not re
member Hie. Neither did the watchful
but overestimated dog in the front
yard.
Carefully concealing the fact that I
had any business relations with the
press,l gave my card to the person who
does chores for Mr. Gould, and, apolo
gizing for not having dropped in before,
1 took a seat in the spare room to wait
for the great railroad magnate.
'1 lielieve that I have never had the
pleasure of meeting you before, sir,'
said the great railroad swullower and
amateur philanthropist, with a tinge
of railroad irony.
'Yes, sir, we met some ten years ago,'
said I, lightly running my lingers over
the koys of the piano in order to show
him that 1 was accustomed to the sight
of a piano. '1 was then working in
tlio rolling mill at Laramie City, NVyo.,
and you came to visit the mill, which
was then operated by the Union Pacific
Railroad company. You do not re
member me because 1 have purchased a
different pair of trousers since i saw
you, aud the cane widen I wear this
season changes my whole 'appearance
also. 1 reruember you, however, veiy
much.'
'Well, if we grant all that, Mr. Nye,
will you excuse me for asking you to
what 1 am indebted for tltia call T
'Well, Mr. Gould,* said I, rising to
my full height and putting my soft hat
on the brow of tlio Venus de Milo,after
which I seated myself opposite him in
a dogago western way, 'you are indebt
ed to me for this call. That's what
you're indebted to. But we will let
that i KISS. Wo are not here to talk a
bout indebtedness, Jay. If you are
'".Vsy you needn't return this call till
next winter. But I am here just to
convetse in a quiet way, as between
man and man. To talk over the past,
to ask you bow jour conduct is and to
inquire It 1 can do you any good in any
way whatever. This is no time to sjeak
pieces and ask in a gramatical way, 'to
what you are indebted for this call.'
My main object in coming up here was
to take you by the hand and ask you
bow your memory is this spring? Judg
ing from what I could hear, I was led
to believe that it was a little inclined to
be sluggish and astrophied days and to
keep you awake nights. Is that so,
Jay V
'So, sir; that is not so.'
'Very well, then 1 have been misled
by the reports in the pajnirs, nnd 1 aut
glad it tis all a mistake. Now. one
thing more before I go. Did it ever
occur to you that while you and your
family are all out in your yacht togeth
er some day, a sudden squall, a juick
lurctt of the lee scuppers, a tremulous
movement of the main brace, a shudder
of the spring boom might occur aud all
be over ?'
'Yes, sir. I have often thought ot it,
and of course such a thing might hap
pen at any time ; but you forget that
while \vc are out on the bio.td and
boundless ocean we enjoy ourselves.
We are free. People with morbid curi
osity cannot come and call on in. We
cannot get the daily ttewspajiers, and
we do not have to meet low, vulgar t>eo
plo who pay their debts and perspire.'
'Of course, that Is one view to take pf
it; but that is only a selfish view. Sup
posing that you have made no provision
for the future in case of accident.
Wocld it not be well for you to name
some one outside of your own family to
Lake up tins great burden which ii now
weighing you down—this money which
you say yourself has made a slave of
you—and look out for It ?'
'lf you have not thoroughly cousld
ered this matter I wish you would do
so at an early date. I have in my mind's
eye Just such a man as you need. Ilis
shoulders are well fitted for a burden of
this kind, and he would pick it up
cheerfully at any time you see fit to lay
it down. I will give you his address.'
fThank you,' said Mr. Gould, as the
thermometer in the room suddenly
(ro/.e up and burst with a loud report.
'And now, if you will excuse me from
offsetting my time, which is worth SSOO
a minute, against yours, whtph 1 judge
to be worth about $1 per week, I will
bid you good morning.'
ile then held the door open for me,
and short l v after that I came away.
There were three reasons why 1 did not
remain, but the principal reason was
that 1 did ucl thjpk he wanted me to
do so.
And so I came away and left him.
There was little else that I could say
after that,
It is not the first time that a western
man lias been treated witii considera
tion in liis own section, only to be
frowned upon and frozen when he meets
the same man in New York.
Mr. Gould Is below the medium
height, and is likely to remain so
through life. Ilis countenance wears a
crafty expression, and yet he allowed
hiraseir to be April fooled by a genial
party of gentlemen from Boston, who
3alted tfie ceptral branch of the Union
Pacific railroad by holding back all tlip
freight for two weeks in order to have
it on the road while Jay was examining
the property.
Jay Cjould would attract very littio
attention here on thp streets, but hp
would certainly be looked upon with
suspicion in Paradise. A man who
would fail to remember that he had
$7,000,000 that belonged to the Erie
road,but who does not forget to remem
ber whenever he paid his own hotel bills
at Washington, is the kind of a roan
who would pull up and pawn the pave
ments of Paradise within thirty days
after he got there.
After looking over the aboye state
ment carefully, 1 feel called upon, in
justice to myself, to state that I>r.
liurcliurd did not a.HHist me in con-
HII noting tlio l.wst M-IIU-IICC.
I do not wisli to crush capital witii
labor, or to further intensify tlio feel
ing which already exists between the
two, for I am a land holder and tax
payer myself, but I say that the man
who never mixea up with the common
poopte unless he is summoned to explain
something and. shake the moths out of
his memory will some day, when the
grass grows green over his grave, Had
himself confronted by the same kiml of
a memory on the part of mankind.
Ido not say nil this because I was
treated iu HII off hand manner by Mr.
Gould, but because I think it ought to
bo said.
As 1 situi before, Jay Gould is consid
erably below the medium height, and I
aur not going to take it back.
lie is it man who will someday sit
out on the corner of anew laid planet
with his little pink, railroad maps on
his knee, and ask, 'Where am I ?' and
the echoes from every imistv corner of
miasuiatio oblivion will take up the
question and refer it to the judiciary
committee; but it will curl up and die
like the minority report against u big
railroad land grant.— A'. )'. World.
A Romance of Nihilism.
A romantic issue to a recent Nihilist
trial is reported ircui Moscow. The
accused was a medical student who had
been detected while attempting to con
ceal explosives iu a private iiouse. The
owner's own daughter had to appear as
a witness against him, and upon her
ttalimony he was sentenced to twenty
year's hard labor in the Siberian mines.
Immediately after the procetdings
were over the girl pawiud the family
jewels, bribed six Cossacks who had
charge 'of the condemned man, and
helped him to escajaj. She accompa
uied him to Switzerland, with the in
tention of retiring into a ; but
she changed her mind on the way. They
have just been married.—Vienna Cor.
Loudon Telegraph.
A contemporary says of r. sick man
that 'his death is ouly a question of
time.' This is a safe assertion.
