AwFCt Catastrophe Averted by the Cour
se am> Presence ofMisd or an Engineer.—;
Presence of mind and the courage to act promptly
in the insist' of danger Are characteristics much to
be desired yet seldom possessed. We have an in-;
stance of both, coupled with' a heroic act of self
sacrifice, in an accident which occurred on the
mountain above this {dace, on Friday night, 14th'
mst. The express passenger train Cast was stopped
at hilly's station by the announcement that «
tmight train was off the track some two miles
ahead. The passenger train was drawn over the
mountains by two large locomotives and in front
of the passenger train, was a very large freight
train standing on the-traek on a high grade.. It
was drawn by a very large locomotive in front anti
another of the same class was' pushing Jt in the
rear; The front locomotive had been detached
Inim the train in order to aid the freight train
ahead on the track, and the rear locomotive was
- who and taken down the grade in order
•ii shift it on the other track. While this process
was going on and when the rear locomotive was
neuiv down the grade and in front of the two lo
comotives drawing the passenger train, the engi
n«r on the backing locomotive, Mr. Powell
Sharp, discovered that the freight train which he
had pushed up the grade had broken away from
the bands and was in rapid motion coming down
the steep grade on his locomotive and the cars,
ailed with passengers, comprehending .in ; an in-
stant the consequences of permitting de
scending freight train to run into the passenger
■.rain, be reversed bis engine and rushed up the
grade in order to meet the freight cars and stop
. their descent if possible. In this be was partially;
successful but after a slight check to the freight;
ears the whole train came down on the passenger
train, demolishing the locomotive with which Mr.
Sharp had cheeked the train and also the two lo-
comotives which were drawing the passenger care.
This occurred about twelve o'clock on Friday
night in the midst at the mountains, or rather a
wilderness, and the scene can be easier imagined
than described. The passengers in the train,
mostly asleep in the dead hour of the night, were
thus;suddenly aroused and thrown from their seats
violently, and yet wonderful to relate, a few of
them were only sKgbtly scratched about the face.
These injuries were mostly sustained from the
irons which are placed on the back of the seats on
which the passenger rests his head.
Presence of mind and courage to act are plainly
indicated in this transaction, and the self-sacrifice
of Mr Sharp is also apparent when we state that
the. descending freight train was moving at tie
rafo of thirty miles an hour, and the chances for
the utter demolition of his locomotive and killing
of himself Were greater than those of saving the ;
passengers. 1 ;
The destruction of the locomotives, together
vith a large number of the .cars, was almost com
plete. The passengers on the train, who, at a
glance, comprehended, the position in which they
*ere unconsciously sleeping, have drawn up the
following paper in testimony of the engineer, who
x) heroically periled his own life to .save those of
the passengers, which will be presented to him.
It has not been fully determined what kind of a
testimonial is to be presented to Mr. Sharp, but
ve understand that from five to six hundred dol
lanhave been contributed for that object. Bead

a testmosial to coukaqe and skill.
The passengers op the train which left Pitts
hurg at i p. * on Friday, on the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad, believing thev were saved from
a serious accident, if not from sudden death, by
the heroism and skill of Mr. Powell Sharp, an en
gineer on that road, who risked his own life t<*
save the train from a fatal collision near the sum
mit .of the Allegheny mountains, take pleasure in
thus giving expression of their gratitude to Mr.
hharp; add do order a collection, which was raised
on the train this day, to be used in the purchase
of a suitable memorial to be presented to him as a
reward of distinguished merit. Ordered to be

Another Fire.— On Saturday evening, 15th,
inst.. the steam planing mill of Mr! Thomas
McAuley, in North Ward, was entirely
by fire, together with all the machinery and lum
ber therein. The origin of thefire is not known,
but it is supposed to be either the work of an in
cendiary, or the careless use of matches in the
bands of some boys who were observed playing
about that part of the mill in which the fire was
first discovered, just previous thereto. 'Mr. Mc-
Anley was the first to discover the f)aides at the
North-West end of the mill,, in a shed which was
used as a wagon-maker’s shop, and in which there
had been no fire during the day. He immediately
proceeded to the spot, but inthe absence of water
and assistance, he could not . check it. A smart
breexe had drove the flamesi directly through the
shed towards the mill, which they soon; reached.
As sobn as they came in contact with this gearing,
which was greased with carbon oil, ? they ran
through the building, over the belts and shafts,
like a flash of powder, and in less than fifteen
minutes the whole establishment was ip a blaze.
When we arrived on the ground the -kcene was
awfully grand, burning shavings disturbed by the
wind were rising with the smoke in perfect clouds,
being carried directly over the town, and settling
down on bouses and stables in all directions, and
the prospect of a general conflagration-was veiy
good. By a continued application of water, how
ever, the adjoining property, with the exception of
a stable belonging to Mr. El way, which stood
.close by, was saved. The Good Will engine was
on the ground, but for want of men' who under
stood the business, to work it, was useless until
the fire had almost spent its fury. But little else
than the chests of the workmen were saved from
the elements. This is the second building of the
kind erected on that lot-that has been burned with
in the last fourteen months. In the first instance
the planing mill was connected with a grist mill,
the two owned jointly by Mr. John Allison, and
the sole owner of the mill lately burned, Mr. Mc-
Anley. Mr. Me. estimates his loss at over $7,000,
on which he had an insurance of . The
loss fells heavily upon him at this time as his mill
was crowded with work.
-- CHAPTtE of Accident*.—On Wednesday
last, the engine of the Mail Train Eastward struck
a man named Henry Noel and threw him over
the embankment in the vicinity of Allagrippa
station, on the mountain above this place. It ap
pears that he was walking on the track, and ob
serving a freight train approaching from the East,
he stepped over to the South track just as the pas
senger train, which he had Dot noticed, came
along, and he was knocked oyer the embankment.
The train was immediately stopped and the in
jured man taken up, placed on board and brought
to this place, where his wounds were dressed by
Dr. Gemmill. Strange as it may appear, all the
injuries he received were about the head—a cut on
the chin, one on his forehead and another on the
back of his head. No marks whatever can be
found upon his body.
On Friday last, Thomas Carson, an engineer
on the Mountain Division, had his left leg broken
between the knee and ankle and badly squeezed
above the knee, by being caught by shine of the
machinery of his locomotive, in attempting to oil
it while it was in motion. Dr, Gemmill reduced the
fracture and Tommy is now as comfortable ns the
nature of his wounds will admit.
On Saturday afternoon, a breakman named
Walter Davis, while attempting to couple a coal
car to a truck car, in the yard in this place, received
a compound fracture of the right leg. bejow the
knee. It appeorsthat he was standing o’n the coal
car, 'the bumper of which is lower than that of the
stock cor, and the latter ran over the. top of the
other and caught his leg. J>iy. Gcmmill was called
in and reduced the fracture, and at this writing
the unfortunate man is doing ; well. He. was taken
to Greensbarg on Monday morning, to Which place
he belonged. ‘
Church Dedicatioh. —The new andi beautiful
Catholic church edifice on Clandia street, in this
borough, was dedicated to the service of:Almighty
God, on Sunday week last, the 16th inst. Right
Rev. M. Domenec, Bishop of the Diocese, assisted
by several neighboring clergymen, performed the
dedicatory services, after which Grand High Mass
was celebrated and a most impressive' sermon
preached by" the Bishop. In the evening Very
Rev. Thos. Hayden, of Bedford, one of the fore
most amongst clerical oratoys in the dioeese, deliv
ered a lectnre on the “Life and services 1 of the
Apostle of the Alleghenies, Rev. Prince de Gallit
zen,” in which he reviewed the self-imposed priva
tions and hardships endured by that gobd andjtoly
man—the forsaker of princely title and almost fab
ulous wealth—in his efforts to: plant the standard
of the cross amid the wild and rugged l peaks of the
Alleghenies. The church was crowded day and
night by a large concourse of people, all of whom
seemed edified by the proceedings throughout, and
gratified with the taste displayed in everything ap
pertaining to this reallyhandsome church edifice.
The Penn'a R. E. Co. has made an addi-.
tion and added a story to their ticket office in
this place. The addition to the grontid floor is a
comfortable waiting room, for passengers and a
baggage room, and a much more commodious
room for Mr. Dysart, the agent. - The second
story is to be fitted op for the Altoona; Mechanic’s,
Library and Reading Room Association. The
location will be far preferable to the one they now
occupy, over the Repotting office. That was too 1
much out of the way, and no doubt detained many
from joining the Association. When the Library
is moved to the new bnilding, we dou'pt not, that,
from its public location,'the room wilt have many
mom visitors and quite an accession of members
and volumes will be secured, k The building, when
finished will be an ornament to the corner.,

[We hare perused ft letter written by K*v. F. Dyson, of
Chambersburg, who was much with Corp. Edwards, pre
vious to his death, in which he speaks of the intelligence,
patience and religious firm confidence of the deceased, and
that, although suffering much from bis severe and painful
wound, be was resigned, trustful and happy, rejoicing in
the prospect of Heaven. As his system gave way under
his severe suffering, and It was seen by physicians and
friends that only a miracle could save him, then began the
fountains of religious ho{M> and consolation to overflow his
soul. This Joyful and confident spirit amazed strangers,
and do doubt produced impressions in favor of true reli.,

Matches.—lt is but a few years since matches
were invented, and already they bare become an
indispensable article in every house! They afford
great relief to the minds of those whose business it
is to keep up fires. When they step out they need
not burry back or worry themselves for fear the
fire should go out, because they can start it up in
a few minutes with the aid of a match; neither is
it necessary that large fires should be covered up
at night to insure fire the next morning, thus ob
viating the danger of the house taking fire while
the inmates are asleep. Tinder boxes, steel. Hint
and pnnk hare gone out of date, and, old smokers
who used to carry these articles and skin their
knuckles; in endeavoring to ignite pnnk to light
their pipes, now cany' the mom convenient article
of matches; This is an age of progress of inven
tions to promote comfort, convenience and saving
Of time. : But the invention referred to has been
productive of evil as well as good. Many build
ings have been carelessly and mysteriously fired by
them. \Ve have read of instances where packages
of matches were ignited by rats gnawing at the
papers, and a conflagration was the result. Chil
dren have been poisoned by eating them, and
fingers have beeti burned by holding on to the
lighted ones a “ leetie” too long. On the person
of Mr. J, Hoore, the great match manufacturer of
this section, may be seen the effects of being
“Mowed up” in match manufactories. While
they are: a great convenience and perfectly safe
when properly handled, they nevertheless belong
to the gunpowder class and should. not be trifled
with. Speaking of our townsman, Moore, the
match manufacturer leads ns to remark that his
matches: are about the best in market, and cer
tainly the cheapest. They take well wherever
they are introduced. As an evidence of the ready
sale be finds for them, we may state that he re
cently disposed of over five hundred gross in less
than two days. He wholesales them to store
keepers and groceries at the most reasonable fig
ures. We have used his matches for a nnnwter of
years and never desire a better article.

credit. The local editors of Harrisburg should be
the last to complain of not reccving credit for their

Our Syrups range from 40 to 70 cents per gallon.
We would invite particular attention to our large
stock of Government coffee, bought before the late
heavy advance, which we sell at 20 cents per lb.
It is far superior to any of the substitutes lately in
vented. We have also a heavy stock of TEAS,
ranging in price from 60 cents per pound upwards.
Our stock of CHINA, GLASS and DELPH
WARE is the largest, most varied and best ever
offered to the people of this section. It is really
beautiful. An examination of our “ Show Win
dow” must convince all who stop to view it that
we are not “ puffing’, our ware, The China Ware
embraces Tea Seta ranging in price from $l2 to
$2O. Flower Vases, Mugs aiid other ornaments.
The Glass Ware embraces everything and every
style of manufacture. Owing to the late advance
we cannot now sell the celebrated Wedgewood
Iron Stone Tea Sets for less thans4.7s per set,
which is $1.25 beiow the selling price elsewhere.
I am now fully convinced that the CASH SYS
TEM is the best for both seller and buyer, ena
bling me to sell cheaper, without loss, and giving
my customers a better article, and more of it, for
the same money, than they get at any other es
tablishment. But argument on this point is su
perfluous. The reason why I can sell cheaper
than credit estaMisbraents most be apparent to all,
and that I do neU cheaper I can fully convince all
who give me call. ■
