CROST THE WHEAT,
Come a-trippin’ ‘crost the wheat,
Lookin' sweet, an’ mighty sweet!
My! but I wuz glad to meet
Mary o' the meadows!
Let the sheaf fall at my feet:
Heard my heart--an’ how it beat,
Jest a-savin': “Ain't she sweet
Mary o' the meadows!”
Wild winds tossed her tresses sweet—
Gleamin'—streamin’ at her feet;
Nothin' could the winds repeat
But “Mary o' the meadows!”
Yet, jest like a shaft o' light
Quick she faded from my sight,
Ax’ the whole world sighed “Good-
night"
To Mary o' the meadows!

But for the bravery of Mrs. Lester

Murphy was a horrible sight. His

Hurled by Dynamite,
By the premature discharge of a
blast of dynamite at the cut immed]
ately west of Elizabethtown, on the
Peunsylvania Raliroad, five men and
a boy weve badly hurt, three of the
men seriously. Keller & Crossan, con-
tractors, of Lancaster, have a force of
nearly a hundred men engaged on the
improvements of railroad at this
point, and the accident occurred while
the blasting was in progress.
The hole for the placing of the dy-
namite had been prepared, and the
barge was inserted. There were con-
gregated about the hole about fifteen
men, mostly Hungarians. In placing
the dynamite it was prematurely dis-
charged and the five men and the boy
were hurled into the air.
When the smoke of the discharge
had cleared away the boy could not be
found, but an immediate search devel
oped that he had been completely
buried under the shale. Michael Mc-
Carty, Alexis Skevinski and Charles
Bwarrow were found to be badly cut
and bruised, but not seriously injured.
The seriously injured were Stephen
snd John Patrice and John Bellan. In
addition to broken and crushed limbs
it is supposed that these three are in-
ternally injured.

Train Kills Three Men.
The second grade crossing horror in
this section with a week occurred at
Palm Station, Montgomery county,
when a passenger train crashed into a
wagon and killed three young men
from Allentown who were on their
way to the banks of the Perkiomen
creek to camp for a week
The victims are John Wolle, Harvey
Wolle, his brother, and Jas. V. Gotts-
chalk. The latter is a brother-in-law
of the Wolle boys and proprietor of a
theatrical exchange in New York
When the capping party reached the
crossing the passenger train dashed
out of the cut and struck the wagon
squarely in the center. Harvey Wolle
and Gottschalk were thrown on ths
tender of the engine, while the body of
John Welle was hurled over an em-
bankmient and almost landed in a
creek. The three men were married.
Gottschalk was a native of New Or-
leans, was known ail over the country
as a promoter of teatrical and musical
enterprises.
