WRECK.—About ten minutes after 6
o'clock, Tuesday evening, engine No. 445 of
the Central Road, was drawing a coal train
down the Broad Top track to the M do Line,
and as it neared the foot of Fifth street, a rail
gave way, causing the engine to jump the
track and run over the board walk, ant stri
king a rail was turned toward the canal, tear
ing up ties and plowing the ground for nearly
bd.:3 - feet. The urine was reversed by the
engineer, Mr. Chas. Faegbty, awl the sudden
stopping of it, swung the tender from the
track, knocking its truck out from under it.
To the tender was coupled a stock car filled
with horses from Bedford county, which was
piled upon it, and the weight of the live freight
being thrown to one side, the car was over
turned. After the wreck whistle had been
sounded, a goodly number of our citizens col
lected at the place, when the horses were re
lieved from their awkward and dangerous
position, and removed to the Franklin [louse
stable. Fortunately none of them were in
jur-d, beyond a few scratches. The wrecking
crew promptly cleared away the debris. By
the accident the Fast Line west, was delayed
about 40 minutes, and the Atlantic did not
arrive until about nine o'clock, whilst Broad
Top south, did not leave until after the ar
rival of the northern train, due here at 7:25,
when passengers and baggage were transferred
at the Broad Top coal wharf. The fireman,
Samuel Clellers, whilst jumplug off, made a
narrow escape fr , iin being crushed by the fall
ing tender.
Considerable excitement was caused by the
accident, the population, (even women with
babe 3 in their arms) turning out to see what
WA:: to be seen, and for the next few days our
citizens will have a topic—the might have
beens— to talk about.
The w reckel engine, No. 445, seems to be un
fortunate, as it was the one in the coal oi
wreck in November last.

PEAT II OF A FORMER BUNTINODONIAN.
—ln last weeks issue of the JOURNAL we pub
lished that our friend and former fellow-citi
zen, W. W. Gaither, had been shot in the
knee be t ,eoutitirel named Clanes, whom b e
had ejecz•-d from his train, on, whit. is kuowo
as tho n•i.iule Road," in Clarion county, for
reftiiing to pay his fare, and this week we
have the unpieasaht duty of announcing his
death from the effects of the shot. We cull
the following particulars from the Johnstown
Tribune of Saturday :
On the 27th of last month Clancy took pas
sage on Mr. Gaither's train, and the latter
asked him for his ticket. Upon being an
swered that he had rot purchased one he was
the') r.-quested to pay his fare, lint insolently
refused to do so. - The conductor then put
hint off, and before the train got under head
way again Clancy pulled out his revolver and
fired several shots, one of which took effect
in the joint of one of Mr. Gaith,r's knees.—
The trainmen arrested the desperate character,
and brought him along as far as Edenburg,
where he was lodger: in the lock up, and next
morning be was confined in the Clarion jail to
await the result of the injury sustained . by his
victim. The wound of the conductor was
dressed at Edenburg, but it proved more se
rious than at first expected, and resulted fa
tally, as above stated. The snrgeon who at
tended him testified before the Coroner's in
quest that death was caused by the hurts re
ceived. Clancy will be indicted for murder
in the next Over and Terminer of Clarion
county.
tr can alloc.st be asserted that Sr. JA
COBS Om works wonders. Shortly before the
Nr Year, when I visited my family in Mitch
ell. I tound my son Edward, a lad little more
thin ten years old, very sick. He suffered with
Rheumatism, and so terribly that he was per
fectly stiff in his limbs, could not possibly
walk, and had to to carried from place to
place. At once I sent for some ST. JACOBS OIL,
u , ed it according to directions, and in a few
i l a y 2 e i u ld see evidence of considerable int
plovt went. On the tenth of this month I again
visited my flintily and was astonished to find
him wet and hearty. He once more has fresh
color ia iris lace and can go to school again.
‘Vtienevir the old treuble threatens to return,
relief is tmmediately securred by the use of
the celebrated SST. JACOBS Ott. From sheer
j , ,y over this restilt 1 cannot withhold recom
,oend;;;g ST. JAcons Ott to suffering humanity

ED. JOURNAL :—lla.ving heard the questien
asked a number of times, viz: "When will Feb
'vary again have five Sundays?" led me to make
a little calculation with the following result .-
1920, 1948, 1976, 2004, 2032, 2060 and 2088 are
the only years from 1880 to 2100 in which Feb
ruary will have five Sundays. We find that in
the following years February bad a.lso five Sun
daes: 104, 1032, IC6O, /6 4 8, 1728, 1756, 1784,
1824, 1852 and 1080. Thus we find that between
the years 1000 and 2100—a period of five hundred
years—only seventeen Limes does February have
live Sundays. 11.,speet•oily.

MAINE NEWS.—Hop Bitters, which are
advertised in our columns ' are a sure cure for
ague, biliousness and kidney complaints.
Those who use them say they cannot be too
highly recommended. Those afflicted should
give them a lair trial, and will become thereby
enthusiastic in the praise of their curative
qualities.—Portland Ad. [mch.l2-2t.
"An Old Plv..sician's Advice!'
Coughs, Colds, Asthma and other pulmonary
,ffections should be looked to and promptly
treated in tiu►e, and thus all serious results
may be avoided, and for this purpose we know
of no better remedy than "Da. SWAYNE'S Coat-
POUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY." The first
dose gives relief, and it is sure to curs the
worst Cough or Cold in a very short time.—
Try a 25 cent bottle and be convinced, and
you will thus avoid a doctor's bill, and most
likely, a spell of sickness. Price 25 cents
and $l.OO per bottle, or six bottles $5.00. The
large size is the most economical. Prepared
only by Dr. Swayne St . Son, 330 North Sixth
street, Pitiladelpilia. Sold by all prominent
druggists. Nov. 23-Iy.
TaE Pennsylvania Stale College offers
free tuition to all who enter its classes. Being
liberally endowed by the state, it is able not
only to make this proposition, but it also
provides kitchens and furnishes the fuel for
tkern free of charge to those students who
wish to lessen their expenses by boarding
themselves. For full information, address the
President, State College, Centre County, Pa.

SEIREWDNESS AND .ABILITY.—Hop
Bitters so freely advertised in all the papers,
secular and religions, are having a large sale,
and are supplanting all other medicines.
There is no denying the virtues of the Hop
plant, and the proprirtars of these Bitters
have shown great sitre-wdliess and autlity in
compounding a bitters whose virtues are so
palpable to every unc's observation.—Bz.

FARMERS get fooled when they buy But
ter Powders and colored salts, and big bottles
of cheap coloring stuff, if they expect to get
as good Butter Color, as the Perfected Butter
Color made by Wells, Richardson & Co., Bur
lington, Vt. The others have tried to imitate
the excellence of this, the original color, but
hare wholly failed. Farmers should use only
the "Perfected" Sold by Druggists and Mer
cite ate 'generally. •
THE VOLTAIC; BELT CO., Marahail,
Michigan, will stud their celebrated Electro•
Voltaic Belts to the afflicted upon 30 days
trial. Speedy cures guaranteed. They meat'
what they say. Write to them without delay.
