A AttiBntkiltil Fearteea Ceal Cars Are Crashed The" Express Train Strikes the Debris at Slew Spaed. At en early hour this morning a very bed freight wreck: eeeurred en Ik taa sylvanta railroad. .Although no one was tajared In the least, a passenger train made a narrow escape from destruction. The wreck occurred about 12:60. As an eastern bound freight train was running along be tween Pomeroy and Hepe tewer.the axle of a car broke. This caused no less than four--1 teen ears te leave the rails and they were no piled upon each ether and broken te pieces. All the cars were filled with oea) and the contents were scattered about In all direc tion. The tracks were tern up for some distance and the ties almost cut te pieces. Werd was atones sent te the Parkesburg wreckers and a large force of men were put te work clearing the tracks. "Soen after the wreck occurred Pacifle Express, which was bound west, caiae along. The flagman of a freight train which bad Just gene west and thus escaped tba wreck, saw the passenger coming. He knew that If the train was allowed te come en at full speed the result would be terrible. He ran back with his lantern, which he kept swinging as a signal te step. The engineer saw htm, but did net hare much time for action. He quickly reversed the engine, but was unable te step It until It had ran part way Inte the wreck. The pilot struck the damkged cars and the engine was broken te some extent in 'front. Had the passenger train been allowed te run a short distance fartber, the resillt would have been terrible and there la no doubt that a great many persons would have been killed or seriously wounded, as this train Is always well filled with passengers for the far West. The wreck caused the greatest inconve nience te travelers, as the tracks were net cleared until this afternoon. Seme of the through trains te the Went were run around evor the Philadelphia, Wilmington it Baltimere railroad te Perryvllle and thence up the Columbia & Pert Deposit railroad te Columbia, where they took the main line again te Harrisburg. Other trains from the West were sent down the Columbia it Pert Deposit rail road at Columbia. Among the trains de layed by the wreck was the NewsKxpress, which carries the Philadelphia papers and Is due here at 6:30 each morning. This train ran around by Havre-de-Cirace, and Mall was first te' reach here at one o'clock. On account of the failure of trains te reach here from the East two that run between Columbia snl Lancaster, and Lancaster and Harris burg, were sent from here. The first went by Mt. Jey, instead of Columbia, and passen gers from here were taken en both. There was much complaint among the news dealers and people who are anxious for the morning papers. The papers came bore via Columbia at 12:58. A SEMINARY IX FLAMES. Narrow Escape or Forty Girls Frem the Building. A special despatch from Austin, Texas, says: "The Coronal Institute nt Han Marces, thirty miles from here, was de stroyed by lire yesterday worn lux at 3 o'cleok. There were sixty persons asleep in the building at the time. The flames started en the second fleer, and when dis covered the whole of the fleer, with stairways leading te the upper story, was In a blaze. Forty girls, their ages ranging from fifteen te twenty years, were en the third fleer aud were awakened by the smoke. Hushing from their rooms In their night-dresses, they hurried down the corridors te the stain ay, but only te find them a mass of fire. The situation w as ap palling und the girls' lives were In danger. Many of them screamed, some swooned. and ethers rushed te the w ludews and cried far assistance. "Hun Marces is a small town, poorly equipped for fires, and very few people hed gathered u round the burning build ing, but these few encoumged the girls te leap from the windows te the top of a gallery flfteen feet below. They were leth te de se and steed huddled about the windows appealing; for aid until the crackling ilames warned them that the third fleer was being devoured and would seen fall in. Mrs. 1). S. Comb, one of the teachers, Anally let herself out of a window, and, dropping, landed safely en the reef of the gal ler v and was greeted with cheers by the crowd below, which had greatly In creased, Her success encouraged the 5 Iris nnd they made the leap, and from 10 gallery reached the ground ou a ladder. Others escaped by sliding down the bell rope of the Institute, which was dangling near the bell, being In the tower at one end of the gallery. Many of the girls fell from the repe, and several were badly bruised, but none seriously in jured. Ten minutes after the last girl left the gallery the whole of the third fleer tumbled in and seen followed by the reef. Everything in the building was destroyed, the Inmates escaping with their night clothes only. " The Old Commener's Truuk-Plate. Frem the Chambersburg Spirit. Mr. Jarrett Heuser is the possessor of a brass plate taken from a small trunk for merly belonging te Hen. Thaddeus Stevens. While walking near the coaling station en the C. V. It. It. at Franklin Junction a few duys age he found a small bard leather trunk. It was minus a lid and covered with a crust of 'dirt that had evidently been years in accumulating. Mr. Heuser examined it and found a brass plate securely riveted te one of the leather sides. With his knife be cat the plate from the trunk and had it carefully scoured, when the name of the former owner, tastily en- graved in script, appeared. It was "T. tevens, Esqr., Gettysburg, Pa." Mr. Stevens removed from Gettysburg in 1812, and the trunk must hae been in use before that time. The supposition is that in these days of stages the trunk was sent te Cham bersburg Inetead of Gettysburg, aud that it lay among unclaimed baggage for a num tvir nt vnara until thrown out as rubbish. The trunk is about two feet long and about one and a-half feet high and was probably used by Mr. Stevens for carrying papers in legal cases. . Mary Jone In Heek Trouble Mary Jane Boek, who threatened te kill Barbara Hildebrand, was heard by Alder man Barr en Wednesday evening. The presecutrix swore te the threats, and she wasafraldMary Jane weuli harm her. The case was returned te court, and as Mary Jane could net glte the required bail she w at locked up. .. Had Small Audleuces. Last evening the "Beacon Light" com pany appeared in Fulton opera house for a second time and the audience was very small. The engagement or the company was anything but profitable iu this city, although their perfermanca seemed te please. A Democrat Elected Spoaker.

Maurer, Democrat, who had ever eae hundred ma jority la the Fourth ward, Reading, which Is Republican by about one hundred. The cause of the defeat of Lyens was that he made himself obnoxious te the majority of people by his continual bringing of salts against people. Mayer Kenney will contest the election, claiming that he was elected In 1887 for 4 years, and that he has served but 3 years. The Reading Eagle reporter was Informed by friends of Mayer Kenney that he would net give up the office in April, but would endeavor te held ever until 1801. They say that the mayor will net relinquish his office when the time Is at hand for Mr, Merritt te be sworn In and then Mayer Keaney wilt Cake out a writ for a decision of the supreme court en the question as te the expiration of his term. The mayor wilt claim that net the entire act bnt only certain parts of the act under which he was elected were declared unconstitutional, and that he was elected for 4 years under the act of 1885, which is supplemental te that of 1874 ; that he was fairly, legally and con stitutionally elected for 4 years. Mayer Kenney said : " I certainly will held ever another year unless the supreme ceu rt says otherwise." " A GOOD FOX CHASE. Rey nan, Although Closely Pursued, Succeeds In Getting Away Unharmed. One of the best fox chases of the present season, which has been a very busy one In that line, took place at the hotel or Wayne Landls, at RelhsvUle, en the Reading fc Columbia railroad, ea Wednesday after noon. The crowd In attendance was the largest that has been seen at any like even during the season. The fox was dropped at 3 o'clock in the centre of the race track, which la en a high knell north west of the hotel. The fox started oft at a lively rate, first going In a northwesterly direction but finally changing and going towards the southeast. He passed along very close te Lltlts and ran along the Conostega, near the village of Oregon. He circled around te the northwest again aud crossed through Leng's weeds, between Landls Valley and Neffsvllle. He ran evor te Sun Hill, between Manhetm and Lltttx, where be was lest shortly before six o'clock. As the fox was a very wild ene he was net given much of a start, and It was net mere than ten minutes from the time he was dropped until the hounds were placed upon his trail. They seen came up te him and were uncomfortably close for some distance. About two miles from the hotel the fox ran across a read, passing under the horses of a man who bad a four horse team with a lead of weed. At this point the dogs were se close that one kept snapping at the fox as he was getting between the rails of a fence. Reynard was small and active enough te get through the fence, but the deg being larger was unable te de se. It was there that he lest time, as the fox was net again in sight of the dogs. About twenty-five men, including sotue well known hunlers, followed in the chase and among them wero a number from this city. A POLITE UUROI.AR. He Talks for Half an Heur Wlille a Ser vant Gets the Meney. The most daring and deliberate rebbery in the history of Topeka occurred en Tuesday morning, when a young man, ransacked the residence of 11. F. Beeker and took fl&O In cash, and diamonds v, atches and Jewelry valued at $1,000. Mrs. Beeker was awakened at 2 o'clock and found the burglar in her room. Hhe asked what was wanted. He speke te her nnd sat down en a window sill and talked for half an hour, finally calling the servant and asking her for the meney. He cau tioned the women te make no outcry, as suring them that if they remained quiet until lie departed he would hurt no ene. Wheu lie get ready te go lie bade thorn geed-night and went out the front deer. He premised te leave seme of the money, uui lorgei ii. He said he had entered the house by a back window, at midnight, and had gene through every room. As he entered each room no turned en the eloctrle light, and went away leaving every light In the heuse burning except the ene In Mrs. Beeker's sleeping apartments. Win. Kagan, brother of the servant girl, was arrested en suspicion, and Mrs. Beeker has identified him. Ingenious Itascallty. A New Yerk lawsuit has disclesed a novel and ingenious kind of business, in vented by Jsrcd Flegg, Jr. The operator buys a house for $20,000, paying 500 down ana glviug a mortgage for the remainder. it it rutner nanusemeiy turnisneu, en iue Installment plan, at a cost of tu.000, of which but one installment of 8250 is paid. The house is then rented te a tenant, who lets furnished rooms or keeps a bearding heuse, at a reut of SCO te' 90 a week, with an agreement that at the end of five years the furniture shall be bo be ceme the property of the boardlng-beuso keeper. Tills prospect seems very fascinat ing te widows who have a small estate, or ethers who have saved up their wages until they have a goodly bank account, which they usually lese in this singular speculation. The operator receives from 83,000 te 84,000 a year, out of which be pays ftiOO for Interest and taxes and 11,400 en Installments, leaving a clear profit of $1,000 upon the operation. The cruel feat feat ure of the business Is, that after a hard working woman makes a week's default, the operator dispossesses her forthwith and f;ets a new customer. Flagg is said te be nterested lu this manner In a number of beuses. Husband and Wife Dead. In one house In Reading there is much sorrow, as the husband and wife are Tying together cold In death. The man's name is Jeseph Singer, and he died en Sunday in the 70th year of his age. His wife Cath erine, who was 83 years of age, took sick en Saturday and was obliged te go te bed. The death of her husband was a severe blew and she gradually grew.werse and worse until she died Wednesday morning. Mr. Singer was born in Lancaster county, but resided in Heeding for a number of years. Her first husband was Geerge Ream, of this county. S335 Fer 1V Acres of Tobacco. Frem the Lebanon Adtertlixr.

SORE OVER THEIR DEFEAT. Til IA1TIAR CMWI AHUM UNNI CAM WMirUYII AWAY. Jehn McLaughlin and Alderman Pin kertea Deaeuaced Aa Attempt te Remove tke Latter Frem Ofllce. Although the election Is past and gene the feellag among some of the Republicans Is very bitter. There are large numbers who can scarcely realise what struck them and scarcely believe their own eyes as yet. Most of the politicians who took an active part In the election have cooled down while some are still se mad that they may have te be put upon Ice yet. Among the let are a number of the Yeung Republican, an organisatien which does net amount te much In elections. Their members are especially bitter against Jehn McLaughlin and at their meeting te-night they will endeavor te have him expelled from the society. Harry A. Schroyer, the flower man, Is still very cress at ex-Alderman Plnkerten, who Is new chief of the letter carriers and comes from the Ninth ward, which is also Sch rover's dis trict. Plnkorten carries letters In the North Queeu route en which Schroyer's store Is situated. The Donues Republicans blame Plnkorten because he refused te give them his poll book before the election. When Plnkerten went Inte Schroyer's store yesterday he was quickly ordered out by the w rat by florist, and the man In the suit of gray lest no time In getting away. Had he net geno Schroyer would In all probability have assisted htm. There Is much bitter feeling against all of the postetllce people and Plnkerten's enemies intend presenting a potlllen te Majer Or lest asking for the removal of Plnkorten from his position. It Is likely that the postmaster will pay very little attention te thelr complaints, as he sympa thises with Plnkerton,whe Is said te be net as black as his enemies would try te paint him. It Is said that the reason he did net give up the poll book was that it was lest. As far as Mr. McLaughlin Is concerned he said te-day he cared nothing for the Yeung Republicans. He never asked any of them te propose or elect him a member of ,thelr organization, and be never told them that he cared te connect himself with It. It is strange that after seme elections se many poeplo are satisfled with the result. A large majority of peeple of this city are pleased with the election of Mr. Clark. Seme of the men who fought him very bitterly wero the first te cengratulate htm. Quite a number tell the chestnut "I could net vote for yen, but I would rather soe you mayor than Donues." This Is true in many cases, but net in ethers. During yosterday and te-day Mr. Clark received many loiters and telegrams of congratulation. Yester Yestor Yoster day afternoon he dreve te New Hol Hel land se as te be out of town and for the purpose of taking a rest. He did net suc ceed very well In resting, however, for when it became known that he was in the village large crowds, including both Dem ocrats and Republicans, gathered at the Styer house te take him by the band and wish htm well. The proprietor of the hotel Is Dan Grube, who is a warm per sonal frlend of Mr. Clark, and he was abused by the Examiner of last evenlng simply because he saw fit te bring a voter, who wanted te help Mr. Clark, from New Helland te Lancaster en olectlon day. The Republicans are new busying themselves about the olectlon of city ofll efll ofll cers. Of the twenty-two Republican mem bers of the next council, the Hartmener anti-Quay poeplo claim te have tw elve. They are very anxious that Harry Rathfon shall be retained as city treasurer and think that they can elect htm. It is said that Rath foil's chances are much better than theso of City Solicitor Brown, who also wishes te go beck. Candidates for the ether positions will likely spring up, and it Is said that Water Superintendant Frnlley's head is in a dangerous place. Some of the pelice are still feeling very badly evor their defeat, The chief appar ently takes it geed naturedly, but some of the ethers de net. All evor the town come reports from different wards of men who wished te wear the blue coats. The ar rangement made Immodlately after the election was te have Jehn Htuinpf, who fought Denues' nomination, put off the pelice ferce in the Eighth ward, but In order te get bim back his retention was premised in case Denues would be olected, and the Republicans ontertalned no doubt of It then. Crawford, of the Third, was also for Davis, but Donues is said te hae premised him Just befere the olectlon that he could go back. Ia the Ninth quite a number of men were prom prem ised the position. Among thorn wero Wel lington Rhodes and Jehn High. The former is new a special and the latter was very confident. They are very het at what they call the treachery of their fellow Republi cans, and High could scarcely belleve lha Dennes was beaten. l'ald an Election Wager, Adam Bluinonsteck, a young man of the Eighth ward who was for Denues, made a wager with Henry Deerr, a Demecrat. Each agreed that they would haul the ether about town in a deg cart In case bis candi date was beaten. Last night Bluinon Bluinen Bluinon seock paid the wager. Deerr crawled Inte a deg cart and Bluuienslnck leek the shafts. He hauled the mail from Rleker's brewery te Derwart street, then te Maner te Pentz's saloon, next te the Plew tavern and back te Rleker's. A grei t crowd followed the queer turnout aud they were very enthusiastic. Seme carried torches and ethers had fireworks. Deerr wero a high hat and bere his honor meekly. Anether Who Deserves Credit. Anether colored man who worked for the success of the Democratic ticket In the Seventh ward and whose name was emitted from the Intf.lueenceh'b account, by some mistake, yesterday, was Antheny Maxwell. He was one of the organizers of the colored Democratic club and did ex cellent work at the polls all day. Net Much Improved. Miss Katie Deagler, the young glri who was se terribly injured in the stocking fac tory of Lautenberger A Ce., at Manhelm, ou Monday, is net much better. Her condi tion, In fact, is such thst her physician does net entertain much hope of her rocet ery. i a Chanted With Keeping a Vicious Deg. Daniel S. SUvlus has been prosecuted befere Alderman Horshey en the charge of keeping a vicious deg. The persen w be brought the charge is Mrs. Annle Beas, who resides en Maner street. She, says that SUvlus' deg attacked her little child en Monday, biting her in the face and In juring her very seriously. Slhlus was asked te kill the deg, but he refused and this suit was brought in consequence. II rice l'alnter Awuuilted. Brlce Painter has prosecuted Charles Hildebrand and Jehn Fritz, befere Alder man Barr, for assault and battery. Brlce alleges that Hildebrand and Fritz attacked him en the night before the olectlon w ith ith eut provocation and hurt him. The accused gave ball for a hearing. FOttaOT MM OWN NAME.

On August SO he dis appeared, no one knew whither. Rewards were ettered and detectives employed, but te no avail. His wife and friends after a month of Inquiry gave him up for dead, supposing he had met foul play. He left his business affairs in geed condition. On Feb. 3 Mrs. Dew was greatly sur- Srlsed te receive a letter from her husband, ated Taceata, Jan. 87. Its tone Indicated mental Incapacity.

Then she bearded a train for Seattle, Philip Wlnser went te Taoema and found the missing merchant. He looked wild. His hair had grown down te his shoulders and liKs beard was long and unkempt.

He went there, but Imagining the man had gene West followed. He lest all memory of his own nsme for several months, which were a perfect blank. He had checks and tl2e In bis pocket. When he get te Portland, Oregon, en Nev. 11, he came partly te bis senses and tried te buy a ticket te go home en the train. The prloe was 850 and he bad only $50.

Ou February 10, his wife arrived. Mr. Dew hsd brightened perceptibly and hepes of recovery are entertained. The faintly were talking about Masonry, when Mr. Dew romarked : " Why, I am a Knight Templar. I forget alt about It till this mo ment. In my troubles, If I had known, I would net have wanted for anything. I I would have been cared for anil restered te my wlfe and family, but I forget the fact, tee, when 1 failed te remornber my name. It Is very funnv, but It seema te me l rorgeto very tiling." A SEVENTH WARD ROW. A Fight That Grew Out or Tuesday's City Kleotten. There was a row and flght at the comer of Duke and North streets late en Wed nesday afternoon. Dill Procter Is one of the colored men whn was actlve In the In terests of Denues, and be has been very vlolent in his denunciation of theso colored men who were independents and voted for the Democratic candidate for mayor. There wero numerous tengue fights In the southeastern section of the city en Wednesday morning and early In the after noon, but that was the extent of the dis appointment of the Procter gang until later In the day. About 4 o'clock a crowd of colored men were collected at the cerner of Duke and North stroets when William Wiley, n white man who lives close by, passed nnd shouted for Clark. He stepped for a moment and he and Procter get into an altercation. It ended In blows and Wiley was knocked down and kicked. Sam Gray, Peter Weeds, Geergo Boek and Moses Boek, who were frieuds of Clark, sided with Wiley and iu a few minutes there was a gonerol row in which Procter was soverely" handled. Ac counts of the beginnlng of the fight are conflicting. Procter's friends say Wiley was the aggresser, and Wiley's friends, who outnumber the ether slde, say Proc Proc eor began it.
