they would not bo tri'led with. If

there would bo no end to the catica-

Four Hundred Cattle Killed.

about four hundred cattle, from

all of the cattlo wore killed. Two oars
went into tho brook and twenty-oil
oars are absolutely broken up and piled
in heaps on top of tho tender, present-
ing a singularly sad speutaclo of
mingled dead and dying cattle and
splintered and brokon ears.
It appeals that tho live nto-jk express
train is snpplied with air-brakes and
that its schcdiilo timo is forty miles per
hour. In coming down the sleep grade
west of this place it was discovered
that the air-brakes would not hold the

engine! r pulled the bott which connect-
ul the tender with the engine, pulled
the thiottle of his engine wide open
and left thu freight cars and tender to
their fate. When the train struck the

TIIK DUPONT .MILLS.
Tho DuPont Mills aro situated in
small valley runninc up into the mount-
aitiB, which closely border the Susquc-
hanna River at Wapwallopen, about
five miles below Shiokshiiiny. Through
tho valley runs tho Wapwallopen
Urcek. Tho buildings contiHOfd with
tho mills aro strung nut along the
creek for a distance of over two rail s
and omploy, all told, about 185 men.
Tho paoking houso, where the txplosii.n
occurred, was the farthest ono up the
stream. It stood close against the side
of the hill and before it stretched a
level expanse f..r perhaps 400 yards be-
fore tho stoep ascent ol the opposite
side ot the valley rose, ii )th hillsides
were thickly ooverod with young Gr
and pine trees and many stood on the
level space.
At 7 o'clock that morning eight men
went to work in the packing-house.

officiated each Sunday. The church
was completely wrecked. The stables
were utterly wrecked, and every on
of tho hou-es entirely ruined. Walls
were split, doors ind door frames and
window sashes all blown in, and every
bit of plaster in every room shaken
down. All furniture was brokon, and
in nearly every home some of tho in
raa es were more or les hurt by fall-

the havoc among the houses.
I A little further down tho valley was
another croup of houses overy one of
which was badly injured, every win
dow and door being blown in, chimneys
blown down, and the walls split.
Among thoae thus injured were the
houses of Richard Aohworth, W. N.
Fonstermauher.W. W. Sohobert,Frauk
Deiranc, Keuben Davis and tho store
of Albert bebobert. All down th
valley and into Wapwallopen the
houses were damaged, windows being
1 blown in, chimneys knockid down and
turnlture, giaaswaro ana crockery Ue
stroyed.
I The shock was nlainlv felt in Wilkes

Shickshinny and Berwick, the nearest
towns of any suf. The concussion
I was very violent and the eattb shook

of an earthquake. Over tho mountain,
in the opposite direotion, houses were
damaged and destruction wrought to
furniture and croikery as far as Aldon,
seven miles distant, and tho shock was
violently felt in Hazleton, twenty mile a
away.
Though thero havo been a number
of oxplosious al thexe mills of more or
less violence, it is nine years sinro any
life was lost. Tho company's oflicials
plaso tho loss to their property at about
$10,000. Tlmy Btato that the company
will make good every cent of damage
sustaiuod by the owners of tho houses
in the vicinity, nearly all of which aro
owned nnd occupied by tho employees
of the mills.
Tho shock was felt In Bloomiburg
by a number of people. Doors and
windows rattled, and tho conouesiou

Tho report of tho Grand Jury,whloh
appears olsewerc, makes soma very
timely guggentions as to the inconveni
ences suffered in tho court honso by
oerlaln classes. Female witnosses, and
nnforlunato women who havo to bring
their babies into court havo no retiring
room, and are obliged to sit all day in
a crowded room, and tho latter must
render suoh attentions as aro necessary
to infants, before tho public gaze, or
go out into tho hall or out of doors.
The grand jury room Is too small, and
what was once known as tho Law
Library has become merely a passage

are badly needed for tho accommoda

commissioners should give tho matter
their attention and tako suoh stops as
they think tho publio comfort and busi
