Of Interest to All Enterprising People of
the County.
Mr. Hamilton Child, representing
Mr. George Hanford, the publisher,
has been engaged for some time in
Bloomsburg and at Danville in the
compilation of a Directory and Map
of Columbia and Montour counties.
Several other canvassers are engaged
in other sections of the county.
The plan is a new one in this sec
tion of the country, although the
parties engaged have been many years
at the business, and an examination
of the Bradford county Directory, a
book of 910 pages together with no
tices by the papers of that county and
letters from prominent citizens all
complimenting the work, warrants us
in commending the new enterprise
here to all citizens of enterprise who
desire to be able to know and com
municate with the people of these
counties.
A house to house canvass is to be
made and the compilation will give
names, post office address, road num
ber corresponding with like number
on map, (a series ot numbers tor each
township) occupations, and of farmers
number of acres owned or leased by
each, besides much other information
will be given.
Mr. Child is meeting with success
here and it is hoped the people every
where will accord the canvassers the
desired information and the support
needed to secure the publication of
the work. We are at the close of one
century and the beginning of another.
The new directory will on that ac
count possess peculiar historical worth
fof benefit of succeeding generations.
Patrick J. Kelley, Chief Burgess

Twelve Killed Coming From Funeral.
Lehigh And New England Train Crashes into
UmniDut Near Slatington-Nine Others
Injured. Most ol Whom Cannot
Recover.
aiatington and walnutport were
stirred up to the highest pitch of ex
citement and grief Sunday night by
one ot the most horrible catastrophes
that ever occurred in that region. As
a result several families were wiped
out ot existence and many homes
were rendered desolate. Thus far
twelve are dead and nine persons are
lying in hospitals, most of whom can
not recover. Out of a party of twenty
tour only three escaped.
I he dead are:
Samuel Mummy, aged 60 years, of
Walnutport.
Mrs. Samuel Mummy, aged 58
years, Walnutport.
Lh S. Remaley, 70 years, Slating-
ton.

Mrs. Tilgham Kuntz, aged 35 years
Walnutport.
Mrs. James Minnich, aged 33, Wal
nutport. The three-year-old son of Mrs.
James Kern, of blatington, cued to
night at his home.
One unaccounted for.
The injured follow:
Mrs. William Resch, of Walnut
port, seriously hurt internally, will die.
Miss Alice Nagle, Walnutport,
slightly bruised, will recover.
Louis Kuntz, Slatington, danger
ously cut about head and hurt internally.
Miss Carne Nagle, Walnutport,
Dadly hurt internally, may die.
narry juinnicn, aiaungton, aged 10
years, may die.
George Minnich, brother of Harry,
badly cut about head, seriously injur
ed internally, will not recover.
Byan Walp, Walnutport, badly hurt
internally, will die.
Miss Lizzie Jones, Slatington, hurt
internally and badly cut about head
and face, cannot live.
Miss Disfler, Walnutport, hurt in
ternally, may recover.
An omnibus, driven by four horses
containing twenty-four persons, mostly
women, left Slatington shortly after
1 o'clock Sunday to attend tlie funeral
services of Mrs. James Shafer, at Wal
nutport. The services were held in
St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Walnut
port, and interment took place in the
Cherry ville Cemetery, about three
miles distant. The burial services
were concluded at about 4.30 p. m.,
and the party started on their return
journey.
The journey soon came to an end,
however, for many of them. About
one mile from Cherryville the Lehigh
and New England Railroad crosses
the road at grade. There is also a
very sharp curve at this point, and, it
is said, that it is impossible to hear a
train approaching the crossing. At
any rate the 4:50 p. m. train from
Slatington, drawn by Engine 15,
bound for Portland, hove in sight just
as the vehicle was on the tracks. The
driver, it appears, was powerless to
avoid what followed, for the next mo
ment the mighty iron monster plough
ed through the centre of the bus, hurl
ing death and desolation in all direc
tions. So great was the momentum
that two of the bodies were picked up
sixteen nunarea teet irom the scene
of the catastrophe.
The train was stopped a short dis
tance above the crossing, and when
the train hands returned to the scene
it was found that eleven of the occu
pants of the vehicle had been instant
ly killed and ten of them so badly in
jured that their lives are despaired of.
Only three ot the party escaped in
jury. A peculiar coincidence connected
with the accident is the fact that none
of the horses attached to the bus was
hurt. When the train struck the bus
the force of the collision broke the
traces and the shaft and the horses
ran down the road a shoit distance,
where they were caught by a farm
hand.
