Thk lati; Explosion. —At the limp of going
to press, last week, we had not the particulars of
the explosion o( engine No. 237, ak Beatty’s
Station, on the Pittsburg Division. The cause of
the explosion is unknown, but the result was fear
ful. The engineer. Charles Gaghigan, and the
fireman, J. Jones, were instantly killed, their
bodies thrown a considerable distance! from the
toad, and badly mutilated. The engine was re-,
dticcd to a complete wreck and the tender tom to
pieces. Several cars loaded with shdep, which
cvcic next to the engine, were demolished and
several hundred sheep killed and injured. The
conductor. William Waters, was standing between
the first and second cars at the time. He was
buried beneath the wreck and supposed to have
i«-en mstantlv killed.
Kuiccttos or Quotas. —The Register, of this
week, contains the following item “A. A.
Barker, Esq., after several days work in the Pro
vost Marshal General's Office at Washington and
Harrisburg last, week, susceeded in getting the
quota of this Congressional District reduced. It
stems that in assigning the quota the Department
took as a basis the number appearing npon the
rolls last June, Since that time by corrections
the number of enrolled men has been reduced two
ot three thousand and there was no corresponding
reduction in thequotas. Mr. Barker collected
the evidence of this, and presented.it in the proper
quarters, when the redaction was ordered as
stated.”
Fatal Accident.—On Saturday, the 1 10th inst.,
Mr. Adam Woollieater, residing near Eldorado
■St:iiion, on the Hcllidaysburg Branch, was knocked
down by theengine of the coal train and so much
injured that he died on the'following Thursday.
Mr. W. was an old man, some "I years of age,
and quite deaf. It appears he was walking on the
track at the time, and was within a few steps of
die crossing where he would have turned off.—
The engineer sounded the whistle but he did not
hear it, and the engineer, thinking he would step
fmm the track, did not attempt to stop the train
until he was too close upon him to‘avoid the
acciiient.
Boost Rented. —The Union Men of Altoona
have rented a room of the second story of Mann
and Baughman’s Building, in which to hold vigi
lance committee meetings, and town and
also to ta lised as a general reading room, and
place of evening resort for members of the party.

Frightful Catastrophe on the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
On Wednesday morning last, abont 4 o’clock, tbe
Fust Line East, on the F, B. B , ran into a coal
nain at Thompsontpwn, 11 miles East of Mifflin,
causing a most dreadful loss of life and property.
Owing to the excitement naturally caused by such
a sad affair, it is somewhat difficult to jget a cor
rect account of it. We copy the following par
ticulars from an account given in the Pitttburyh
Coiiuiiercial, by Mr. Oliver McClintock, a resident
of that city, who was an eye-witness to the horrid
scene. He says:
The responsibility of the sad event is laid npop
the conductor of the c«al train, which had stopped
it the station for water, as being gtiiUy of t|te
most inexcusable ignorance in occupying the Fast
Line’s time, or of the most culpable negligence |in
failing of the precaution of sending a signal-man
to the rear to warn the approaching train, espe
cially as the position of his train was pt the end
of a curve and ip the midst of a dense fog;
The passeDge'f'train approached at fidl. speed—
the engineer not discovering the fatal obstruction
until within fifty yards of it. He instantly re
versed the engine and after whistling “down
brakes" twice, applied the locomotive brakes, i
which arc connected with all the brakes on the i
train—he with the fireman remaining at their i
posts, and both escaping with but slight injury. |
But the reversion pud check were too late, as j
the distance whs far too short for n cheek upon the j
meed, under the most favorable circnmstantys, ;
with the additional disadvantage of the wet con- j
dition of the mils, which caused the wheels to i
lock and slide with but little resistance to the mo- ;
menlum of the train. Scarcely more than a sec- i
°nd had elapsed belore the locomotive had leaped |
: entirely throu h one coal car, and half the next, ;
‘ shivering them to fragments, a<nd dashing their
contents in every direction, and -turning over al- i
most bottom up.'
The baggage car was elevated at the rearend
tram the truck, when the whole momentum of
:: tpe train yras instantly- expended In driving the
baggage car. sa jompletely through the first pas
senger car thatifhe frame work of one fitted cioseiv
and entirely within the other. Mr. McOrecaor
the baggage master, was the only pemon in that
c;,^, an f he.escaped with but a few slight bruises
Tbe-hrst passenger car was quite fall, containing
M V m ‘ D - V 0f whon > were women
and‘children. These were, from the nature of
the collision, either crushed under the baggage
car, or driven in p mass to the rear of the
car, the doom of whtch were locked, as if to make
death doubly sore, and escape (so to spc-ik) the
more impossible.; But, most horrible to tell the
crash of wood, iron and glass was scarcely over
when flames were discovered in the rear of the
car, and within four minutes had enveloped this
holocaust of dead, dying and mangled human
beings m one common funeral pile.
It is not known whether the fire originated from
the stove or frona the gasometer—the latter being
most probable.. However, it started so quicklv
andspread so rapidly that the passengers who im
, mediately hurried from the rear cars, to the front,
only reached it in time to find the flames already
under headway, and be compelled to listen to the
horrid chorus of the crackling flame of the burn
ing cars, the agonizing groans of men, and die
heart-rending shneks and screams of women and i
children, powerless alike either to: quench the
flames or rescue the hapless from their 1
prison of fire., Only one axe could lie obtained, 1
and little or nothing was accomplished even with 1
that—one cr two; openings being cut through only j
to find an inner : wall made by the side of the 1
transfixed baggage car. Six persons, in till, were :
rescued from the car; the remainder, being esii- j
mated at at least forty persons, were either crashed '
to death, or having been wounded were burned
alive.'
1 v
One young lady, some sixteen or seventeen
yeam of age, they struggled to drag from a win
dow, but being fast under the baggage ear, she at
last drew herself back again and perished within.
A man, who had'dragged himself partly through
a window, found- himself fast also, ami laving
himself on The side of the window, was consumed
before the eyes of the horrified spectators. On
the left side of lltc train a soldier with unc leg
succeeded in getting it through the window, but
was unable to force his way farther, and |x;fished
as ho was—-his charred remains, after the wood- |
work had sufficiently, burned SSvay, tailing a head- !
less, armless' mass npon the other track. One !
woman with four Children are known to have been |
among the number of victims.
Conductor Johh .dullison and first brakenmn ;
Emory,were last '■ seen sitting in this car by the
stove, and no hope is entertained of their escape, j
How many and what persons were buried in that j
fiery tomb may never be told, as everything was i
literally consumed to ashes, and utterly.beyond j
recognition} the only tell-tale to waiting hearth- i
stones being the unbroken absence of Iboked-for |
footsteps, and the voiceless, endless vacancy of;
missed faces and ,remembered voices. !
The forward platform of the third (wssenger car
having been driven upon the rear one of the sec
ond, it was made impossible to detach them ; they
accordingly very quickly took fire, and were vap
idly consumed. There were a number of woun
ded in these cars, hut nunc killed. Ail were
gotten out, although it was by almost lu-iciilc in
efforts that die doors, weft? broken open, and the
inmates rescued. ■ ,
The scones which now ensued beggar words and
defy description in the sickening and harrowing
character of their; details. The douse muss of
baggage matter and human remains which the
wreck of the two forward cars contained caused
them to burn a cpuple of hours longer than the
two following. On the right of the train, early in
the progress of the fire, a charred, slm|s-lcss' and
headless mass rolled smoking into the mad down
by the side of the- track. High in the air and
resting upon a tangled mas? of iron rods and tin
sheeting was another one with arms drawn up
uponXhc heart, and legs burned off to stumps,
from whose extremities the femoral bones stood
out with a horrible distinctness and nakedness
into the air, By-its side was another equally
charred and disfigured.
Just under, and lying upon the llttngeofa
wheel, was another black mass, which with the
encircling springs of a hoop-skirt, were all that
remained of a woman. The smaller ribs attjl
other bones of children getting out from the burn
ing mass, presented, if possible, a more sad and
lamentable sight.: On the left side, retting between
the wheels, and on the after truck, the fire soon
revealed a human, head, about which tin- flames
lapped and licked until the white skull shone out,
and the satnres gaped and grinned a- if in mockery
of the horrid carnival.
What with the hissing, steaming, frying, masses
of shapeless humanity, and the while,
forms of ribs, vertebras, hip and femoral bones,
staring from out the smoke and ashes, with the
other harrowing details of tbe calamity, we.pray
never again to be confronted with such a sight.
Of the wounded the most seriously hui;t was
Mr. Brooks, a-mail agent between Altoona
and Harrisburg,’ iwho resides at Mifflin, and got
on the train at that place. His injuries i)re inter
nal. aud thought to be severe. He was taken
home on*he westward train. A lady who bad
been rescued, from the first passenger car, and
taken to the station house, suffered very severe
internal injuries. - Surgical attendance was 1 pro
cured at an early hour,' and all the rest of the
wounded weed doing well.
When the accident occurred, a message was
immediately sent-for assistance, Afterwards, two
construction trams atrived simultaneously from
the Hast and West, with a large force of workmen
and all the necessary appliances for cleaving the
tracks and replacing the rails which had been
bent out of shape by the heat. In ■ a very short
space of time the large force had the track cleared
and repaired for the Westward train, and accord
ingly, at 11 o’clock, we ’willingly bade farewell to
a scene of so appalling a calamity.

Inherent in the system or produced

Ndiaim that is not vMeauM, genial and restorative
io Its nature enter* into the composition of HOSTBTTBR’S
STOMACH BITTKES. This popular preparation contain*
no mineral of any kind; no deadly botanical element; qo
fiery excitant; but it is a combination of the extracts ol
rare balsamic herbs and plants with the purest and mild*
est.ol all diffusive stimulants. c
It is well to he forearmed against disease, and, so W as
the human system can be protected by human mean*
against maladies engendered by an unwholesome atmo
sphere, impure water and other external causes, HOST AT
TBB’S STOMACH BIXTKHS maybe relied on as a safe
guard.
In districts infected with Jhecr and 4pue, it has been
ound infallible as a preventive and irresistible aa a reme
dy, and thousand who resort to It under apprehension ol
an attack,, escape the sconrge; and thousands who neglect
to avail themselves of its protective qualities in advance,
are cured by a very brief course of this"marvelous medi
cine. Fever and Ague patients, after being piled with
quinine for months in vain, until fairly saturated with
that dangerous alkaloid, are not unfrequently restored t
health within a few days by iho use of lIOSXETTEB’
BITTEBB.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated atid the appe

wonders in cases of Dtbpspsia and in less .confirmed forms
of Indigestion. Acting ag e gentle and painless apperieut,
ua well as upon the liver, it also invariably relieves the
Constipation superinduced by irregular; action of the di
gestive aud secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to AUacks, Lovmtt
of Strife and -Rfr qf Languor, find prompt and perma

is most conclusive, and from both sexas.'
Tho agony of Buxiocs Colic is immediately oaeuaged by

Lust, but not least, it is The only Safe Stimulant , being
manufactured from sound and Innocuous materials, and
entirely free from tbo acid elements present more or leas

No family medicine has been so universally, and, it may
be truly added, deservedly popular with the intelligent
