Testimony of Clias. Coffee, engineer
of the passenger train :
Charles Coll'oo bworn says: I was
engineer running train 3 west. Lett
Port Jervis at 10:40 p. m ; was L'S
minutes late. I ran the distance Trnm
Port Jervis to Mast Hope L'S miles
in one hour. When I camo to Mast
lle, I gave the station signal, a long
whistle; about half or three-quarter
ol a mile from tho station, 1 aliould
judge. 1 saw a freight train standing
on the switch. When I passed the
caboose 1 did not seo anything wrong.
Could not ett that time see head ol
freight train. 1 don't think that 1 was
over forty feet from freight engine
when 1 saw her. I did not do any
thing, it flashed across my mind there
would bo a smash up. It was almost
two scconus irom the timo I saw
freight engine on the frog until the much a duly for us to ndministt r this 1 lie jury were nttcf.tivc nntl cxpec
colhsion. .My cngino struck the for , statuteasiiny other. Tbesitnplennes. "H'1 t"l'ro was profound mlcncc
ward purl of tho cylinders of the
froight cngino, obout seven feet from
the bumper. At tho timo of the col
lision 1 was silling on cushion on my
seat. We wero upset, and I tvus
thrown I don't know how. I found
myself on my head and shoulders, with
my feet up, near my cngino. I got
out und stood up; next my fireman
appearej beforo me, bis overalls and
clothes in flumes. I put out the blare
with my bands, and next thought to
put out the fire from the coal box,
which wits near the engine. Tho ex
press and baggage cars wero on fire.
I went to get over a fence near the
depot, but wits so weak 1 could not do
it. 1 ran around the depot and went
to tire hotel to get a pail of water. I
hallooed and rapped on tho door for
water. Finally a lady got up, let mo
in, gave mo a pail, told mo there was
water in the kitchen. Took the puil,
run lo tho wreck, and threw water on
the fire, and then run for another pail
of water. Then saw the firo was
buri.ing too rapidly for mo to put out

alone; railed for help, but received
nono. 1 hen went to getting out lag
gago and express matter. Tho lire
was not in tho smoking car when I
got back with my second pail of wa
ter; at that timo tho firo was at cast
end of depot, between engine and cars
smashed. I worked at taking out
bnggngo till tho fire drove me awsy.
I must have occupied about five min
ntes. After I was driven away by
the fire, I went to rearend of my train,
and saw thut the third sleeping com h,
alongsido of freight engine, was catch
ing lire ; thought we could save it, ral
lied tho men, got water from the tank
and saved the coach. Tho front end
was badly burned. I know there
were persons killed by tho collision.
After daylight I saw the remains. 1
counted fbiirhodics. Thry werehndly
burned. I saw pieces of burnt flesh
and bones belonging to the bodies. I
saw Griffin by his engine when I first
went back to where she was. lie wns
standing hy his engine crying. All

CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20,
the ears forward of tho three sleeping
conches wore burned up.
Cross-examined. It was somo ten
or twelve minutes after tho accident
that I saw Grillin.' Tho catiso of my
exhaustion was through being fright
ened. The hotel was nearer the river
When I got to the fire I thought three
pails of water would put it out. At
that timo the fire had not reached any
car. Tho passengers wero out looking
at wreck, but did not offer to help. 1
did uot soo anybody try to extricate
any person from tho cm . I put forth
my efforts to take out bagixae. If
strong men had gone there with axes
they could havo extricated the passen
gers, but they had only ono axe. The
reason I did not seo ongino of freight
train until about forty feet off, wns cn
account of the curve, nnd strong light
thrown out by my headlight. Did
not know thero wero passengers fust
in smoking car when I took bagp;uge
out. I could not have done tl.o leiist
thing towards stopping my train,
between tho timo 1 saw the freight
engine and tho collision.
Tho arguments of counsel having
been closed, his Honor, Judge Barrett,
proceeded tochargc the jury as follows:
Gentlemen of the Jury: We shall
endeavor to give this caso in as few
words as possible, in tho discharge cf
a simple duty. I regret exceedingly
that ninny things have surrounded'
this trial that have no relative bearing
upon it. 1 regret Hint your attention
should have been called to the cot di
tion of tho defendant, or that tho Eric
Railway Company wero bronu'ht for
ward as the prosecutors, and 1 would
have you divest your minds of the
Company,' or defendant, savo what
you derive from tho evidence alono.
i'he evidence don't soy that tho Com
pany is tho prosecutor in this case.
Tho act of tho Assembly of the State
of Pennsylvania, makes it an impera
tive duty on tho District Attorney to
prosecute all such cases, and bad he
tailed to do so, ho would not havo dis
charged his duty. The simple inquiry
for you to mako is whether the law
has been viuhitcd, and if so, that the
responsibility be placed on tho proper
person so offending. We have a plain
statnto for our direction in this case
which I w ill read, and which will t'iro
you tho proper instruction for your
ginuaneo.
The J udgo here read tho law, which
provides that if any person or persons
in tho employ of a railroad or trans
portation company shall refuse or
neglect any rulo or regulation of the
company, and by reason of neglect or
wilful misconduct to obey said rules,
injury or death shall result thereby,
each person shall bo guilt' of misde
meanor, and on conviction shall pay a
lurs, and bo imprisoned in tho connty
jail or penitentiary not to exceed five
years.

then gave Webster's definition of negli
gence, and npplied it to tho cose, and
staled that tho Act of Assembly was
mado to apply to signal nnd special
acts of ncirligenco. The excuse which,
is tillered for tho act of Grillin is that
he was asleep, and that in a half un
conscious stale, ho pulled tho throttle
of his cngino. Evidence lias also been
brought forward to show Hint it is
customary to i'.eep while lying on a
switch. I regret to bear such cvi
ilonco, nnd that it is a common prac
tice. If the Company keep such men
in their employ, would it not Ie well
to enquire if they nro not guilty ol
gross negligence T The evidence is
that defendunt slept, but it its fcrgutd
that he was not responsible 1 wish I
could so charge you, biitduty will not
admit of it An employee' charged
with tbe stilety of human lilu must not
sleep at his post, nor while on duty,
and lie must use all his senses to keep
awuko. Tho dictates of humanity
require it, and the rules of the Com
pany demand it. Why did ho go to
siucp r Ho had ran only 28 miles, off
uuty a number ct hours, knowing
trains wero following freighted with
human souls, and to pass him on that
switch why did ho sleep f It is
stated the night was warm and murky,
and cabulalod to produce sleep, but it
requii-cd greater care and caution on
his part, and the law exacts it. If the
rules of the Company had been lived
up to would ten or twelve lives havo
been JolI procious to somobody.
Admit that bo was a competent engi
neer, w hat apology ig offered w hen he
slept nt his post ? It was negligence
to sleep that offers no apology. His
friends have brought forward la is giod
character, but this evidence is to have
no weight so long as it has boon
clearly proven to you that ho was
guilty. Character is only to bo ap
plied in doubtful cases, not where
truilt is rendered certain by evidence
e hove discharged our duty, now
disehargu yours. If nPer reviewing
all the evidence nt.d you are in doubt,
that doubt should bd cast in the pris
oner's favor, but you ore not to look
for doubts for the purpose of acquittal.

brings the jury system into disrepute
a system for which I huvo always

1 must admit, is somewhat shaken a
system which permit twelve men to

acquitted of thu offenco ; that bo (the
Judge) believed tho verdict was an
unjust and improper ono ; but ho was
glud to find, however, that in tho
hour of peril ho (Grillin) bad been
sustained as lo his previous good
character by llu voire of his friends

sentenced him to pay tho costs of the

security for the payment of same.

DEATH OF FRANKLIN FIERCE.
After lingering tor many months in
feeblo health Franklin Piereo, twelfth
Presidont of tho United States, died
at his rosidonee, in Concord, N. H.,
yesterday morning. His disease was
chrouio inflamation of the stomach,
atonded with dropsical effusion of the
bowels.
ITIS ANCESTRY.
Frtiklin Piereo wits born November
2,1, 1804, in Hillsborough, N. II. His
father, Renjamin l'ioroe, was ono of
tho eulicst settlers in the town of
Hillsborough, and by 'his exertions
contri uted much to its prosperity.
During tho Revolutionary war he
fought his way to distinction, under
going all tho hardships that tho pa
triots of those days wero compelled to
suffer in their struggles to redeem
their native country and sccuro for
her the princeless boon of liberty. On
the intelligence of tho bloodshed at
Concord and Lexington reuniting the
neighorhood of Hillsborough Benja
min Pierce, then only a boy, forsook
tho plough in tho Held, nnd, providing
himself with his uncle's gun and a
qunntity of nmunilion. he left lor the
fight, to strike a blow for freedom, or,
if necessary, give up his lifo on the al
tar of his country All through tho
stormy period, tho timo thut tried
men's souls, we find the father of tbe
futiiro President, for seven long nnd
dreary years, serving with tho army
of the Revolution, until he was at last
disbanded in 17C4 at West Point.whon
tho calm of putco was about to bless
tho efforts of tho heroic patriots who
fought for the lreedom of their native
land. It is scarcely necessary to men
lion that the Revolutionary soldier
was possessed of very littlo means'
when tho struc was brought to a !
close, but witli tnc little means ho had;
and little, Indeed, it was he took up
ii is rcsiucnce in a log nut wnicn lie

tho town of Hillsborough Here lie
married, but his wife dying, leaving
him a female child, he married atrain. I
and by his second wife ho had eight
children. He worked steadily and en-1
crgctically, and among his neighbors!

he was elected to the Legislature, and
this position bo continued to occupy
for thirteen successive years, and whs
afterwards Governor of the Stale.
ENTRANCE INTO POLITICAL LIFE.
Whatever may be tho alliances be
tween lawyers and legislators, it is
not the purpose hero to inquire, but
certain it it that lawyers good, bad
and indifferent as a rule, havo a
yeaniing for the honor or the profit,
euncrono or com, 01 political ottice,
and Franklin Pierce riatnrnlly cnongh,
from other causes, however, than any
nMiniMt.to
distinction in tho forum. His father
was elected Governor of New Ilnmp
shiro in IK.'T, nnd two years later
Franklin Pierce himsolf was honored
by the voles of bis native town. elect
ing him their representative to the
Legislature of tho Stalo. He contin
ued a member for four successive years,
the hitler two being Speaker of the
House, to which place ho was elevated
by a largo majority of votes.
In 1S3 Mr. Pierce sought higher
renown. He looked to the eapitol of
tho nation, and among his country's
legislators there he felt he conld labor
to advantage His constituents sec
onded that desire, and he was clocted
to Congress. While in the Honso he
was a patient observer of the j regress
of events, and although lor the time he
attracted no marked attention by the
brilliancy of his oratory or tho depth
of his rcusoning. he still wos noted as
ono of tho most laborious, painstaking
m.imbers in ho wholo assembly.
When Frank Pierce was on a commit
tec all felt satisfied that tho lubors of
I hat committee would bo attended to.
This reputation he sustained through
out his wholo Congressional career.
Ho was a warm admirer and a stntinch
upholder of Old Hickory. He believ- j
ed in President Jackson, nnd during
tho most stormy periods nf the old I
man's administration Pien-o nlwnvsj
rendered him whatever nid vns in Ids !
power. This led Ion confidence which j
lusted during tho lifetime of President I
i Jackson nnd was warmly reciprocated !

In nfter venrs he saw tho error he
made in taking tho view ho did and
acknowledged ;hc wisdom of the net
whit h upheld the school for the edu
cation of tho American soldier. On
the question of slavery, w hilo a mem

Ho believed the South was pledged cer
tain rights by the constitution, nnd
these be maintained by bis voice nnd
by bis votes. He continued as a mem
ber of tho lower IIouso for four years.
IN THE I-NITFTI STATES SENATE.
In 1;!7 Mr. Pierce, then scarcely
nrrived at the legal ngc for the posi
tion, was elected lo ;ho I'nited States
Senate. He took his sent, the young
est member in the Sennte nt the com
mencement ol the Presidency of Mar
tin Van Burrn. This was the period
when tho Senate was composed of
such men n Henry Clay, Daniel
Webster, John C. Calhoun, Silas
Wright, Thomas II. Berton, and
many other distinguished statesmen
who, though inferior in intellectual
ability to those named, still wore men
who invested with dignity and talent
tho exulted pnsiiion they occupied.
This .ns tho noontime ot the Ameri
can Senate, snd never before or since
nns itirrr wen seen wiiuin tne wans
of tle Senate chamber a more able.
dignified or venerable array of states
men than tin wo whom the yonng Sen
ator encountered on tho entrance up
on his Senatorial career. 1! is consuin
ats skill and acknowledged good judg
ment admonished him as lo the course
ho had best par-sue. ami. obeying these
promptings, he m-ido friends lor him
self and best promoted his interc-sta by
the adoption of a quiet, dignified line
of conduct rather I han the noisy de-

InlV42ho aignifiod his intention of
retiring from n,s Senate, and, return,
ing homo, entered npnin npon ths
pruetieo of his profession.
Mr. Pierce now pursued with a well
determined vigor tho practice of his
profession. Whether hisfamo In Con
gress and moro recently in tho Scnato
had any effect in socuring him prac
tice wo do not pretend to detonnino,
but certain it is that ho started with
a very respectable practice. Ho was
a oareful, vigilant, painstaking lawyer,
and did everything in his power to
satisfy his clients. Though frequent
ly importuned to accept political place
at this timo he positively refused to
ho separated from his lamily, unless
tho imperative necessities of his coun
try in case of war demanded tho sac-,
rilicc.
HIS MILITARY RECOIin DURING TTIB
MEXICAN WAR.
The timo shortly nfter approached
that tho pledgo would have to bo re
deemed. Tho Mexicun war camo on,
and Franklin Pierce, who hud already
distinguished himself in tho forum and
at tho bar, volunteered for tho Service
of his country in the field. Ho receiv
ed tho appointment of colonel of tho
Ninth infantry in February, J 817, and
tho following month was promoted
to bo brigadier general. His ntten
tion to tho men under his command
has been frequently alluded to ill
terms of no mean praiso. Ho contri
buted whatever lay in his power to
allcviato the sufferings of his wcariod
soldiers, who, broken down with tho
fatigues of tho campaign, considered
the most trilling help a boon Unit could
scarcely be over-estimated.
On tho arrival nt the reinforecmontB
which General Pierce cnmmandcd.Gen.
Scott broko up camp and commenced
the march npon the eapitol of Mexico.
On tho ltilh of August the sanguina
ry conflict of Contrerns occurred. Tho
enirngemont proved moro severe than
as first expected. Pierce led his
brigado,and bravely fought all through
that terriblo conflict. While lending
his troops nnd encouraging thorn by
their love of country nnd the renown
of her arms to carry the day, his horso
slipped under hi in und both borse and
rider camo to tho ground. The full
broko bis leg and otherwise bruised
him. Notwithstanding this he still
continued on, and even followed in
pursuit of tha routed Mexicans, who
were flying towards Cheruhasco. It
was at this last engagement that Gen.
Scott, observing bis suffering condi
tion, ordered him back to St. Augus
tine ; but he pleaded to be left with
his brigade, and the General consen
ted. At this balllo he appeared to
forget his injuries and became appa
rently reckless in the face of tho eno
my. The American army was here
victorious.
After the victory Santa Anna pro
posed an armistice. Gen. Scott grant
ed it, but proved afterwards only to
bo a rute of tho wily old Mexican to
prevent the American army from im
mediately taking possossion of the
capital. General Pierce was one of
tho commissioners nppointod to or-o
range the terms of peace. Hisasso-
ercT-o Ocnr-slsi. Gnitrr-.n and
'crsiier r. smrili. cue negotiations
failed, and again the battle cry was
sounded. The next battle was that
ofMolinodel Rcy, and at this fierce
and obstinately contested engagement
Gcneml Pierce acted Jrithhis usual
bravery. Ho was ordered lo support
Gen. Worth, who, w ith 3,000 men,
hud attacked 14,000 Mexicans. Tbe
intrepidity displayed by Gen. Tierce
when he nrrived with fi is reinforce
ments, and the determined front his
men presented, had the effect of draw
ing tho fire from Chnpultepec Upon
his force. They stood it like a rock,
and tho field was won. His physical
strength, so severely overtaxed for
the last thirty-six hours, then gave
way, and ho bud lolako his bod, fiom
which he roso to find the Mexican war
brought to a close, and tlio Stars and
Stripcj waving ubevo the Halls of
tho Monter.umtis.
Gen. Tiereo returned homo in De
cember, snd again applied himself to
the practice of lawi In DmO ho was
elected President of tho Convention
drawn together to revise tho consti
tution of bis native State. Here ho
labored lor the repeal of the illiberal
Catholic test, so long a slain upon the
sluluto book of thut Stale, and sno
eceded in accomplishing all that the
Convention could do in the matter.
Th's, nt tho time, ga'c rise to tt good
deal of dispute, and when Mr. Pioreo
entered upon his Presidential cam
paign tho ttiestion Camo largely into
play, and afforded the political parti
sans pro and con an opportunity of ven
