A Lone Train Filled With Happy Plrasnro Seehers Runs Into nn Engine and Is Piled Up in n Huge Mass Fire Com plete tlie Work of the Collision A Horrible Scene In a Lovely, PIctnresqne tpot The Engineer and Fireman Escape List of the Dead and Injured. An excursion train on the Tioga branch of the Erie road was -wrecked last evening by running into an engine standing on the track near Tioga Junction. Two people were killed outright and more than 20 others were badly icjured, some of them probably fatally. Fire destroyed the wrecked cars. fSrZCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DI8FATCH.1 Elmiba, X. Y., September 16. One of the most distressing of all the recent rail way wrecks in America occurred this even ing at one of the most attractive sec tions of natural scenery in all North ern Pennsylvania. It was at Tioga Junction, on the down grade of the old El mira, State Line and Tioga Railroad (now the Tioga branch of the Erie), where the track joins the Pine Creek division of the Pall Brook Company's Railroad, 25 or SO miles south of Elmira. A TRAIXLOAD OF EXCURSIONISTS. The evening train south on the Tioga is always well patronized, and to-night it was so crowded that seven coaches were filled with special excursion passengers return ing home. It is customary to rnn those trains very rapidly down the heavy grade approaching Tioga Junction, elide past the station on the main trick, and then, backing up toward Lawrenceville, stop on the branch at Tioga station and proceed to back the train to Lawrenceville Junction, four miles north west, where the Tioga and Tall Brook lines converge. A riCTURESQ.CE RUN. Few livelier or more picturesque evening runs are made by railway trains than this rapid whirl down the grade to the junction southward, and its rc-erse, likewise down grade, from Tioga Junction backward to Lawrenceville. But this evening's train with seven coaches full of humanity never got past the branch at the junction. At that point a great Fall Brook jumbo freight engine had just started to pull up past the main-line connection, its engineer supposing he had TLENTT OF TIME to get out ahead of the passenger train which must here make the shift. -The wet rails under the passenger train, and its ac celerated velocity by reason of its length and weight, conspired together to prevent a stoppage short of the branch, as might usually be done, and it crashed into the heavy freight engine, killing and maiming until its pitiable victimsf numbered at least 25 killed and injured. A DETAILED ACCOUNT. A press account brings details of the dis aster as follows: It was Erie passenger train No. 109, on the Tioga river branch, that ran into Fall Brook freight train No. C2 at Tioga Junction. All the passenger coaches were subsequently burned. It occurred about 7:05 r. m. The train from Elmira south ran into a Fall Brook engine, killing and injuring in all about 25 persons. The seeming re fusal of the air brakes to work made the en gineer still less able to stop the train at the station. The engineer and fireman jumped lor their lives and escaped with slight in juries. The smoker and three passenger cars were smashed into kindling wood. The wreck caught fire, and it was with difficulty that some of the passengers were rescued from the burning WTeck. The flames lit up the heavens for miles around and people rushed to the scene from all parts to render what aid they could to the injured. A message was sent to Elmira asking for medical aid, and a train was sent in a very short time. In the meantime, doctors from Lawrenceville and Tioga had arrived and given all possible assistance. Stretchers were quickly provided and tne wounded were carried to neighboring houses. The names of those ALREADY DEAD: XUGENEDAIGIIUE, newsboy. HAKRY OLIVER, of Union, N. Y. THE "WOUXDED. ED BOSTWICK.

Two Hundred Polish Freight Handlers He- fuse to Work Sundays for Week Day Pay They Go Ont and Their Places Will be Filled. rSPECIAX. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Buffalo, September 16. About 200 freight handlers employed by the New York Central Railroad went on strike through religious and financial motives. Many of them are Polish, and they disliked working on Sunday, while others wanted extra pay for Sunday work. Disregard of the religion of a number of the Polish freight handlers led to the striking of 125 of them. They went out yesterday, and to day very little freight wa's handled in the cast-bound and west-bound freight houses of that roaS on Ohio street. The strike came about in this way; The lot of these freight handlers is not a par ticularly ' happy one. They get employ ment only about six months out of the year, and work ten hours a day at 14 cents per hour, making 51 40 per day. If they are laid off at 3 p. at. they are docked for the rest of the day. But the company is likely to lay them off at any time if there are no boats to load or unload. A gentleman who knows all their grievances, said that he had seen them sent home on Friday and called back to work on Sunday aud nothing extra allowed them. They have no union to enforce their rights. For some tune these men, who are Poles, have been thinking of asking for a half dav's extra pay on Sunday. Trobably the strike would have come anyway, in due season, but it was precipi tated to-day. The Poles, who all belong to church societies, asked to be allowed to at tend the ceremony of the blessing of the bells of St Adelbert's Church. Being re fused permission they struck. It was said thai if the members of these societies do not turn out when ordered they are fined ?L So it was a serious matter with the men. No advance in pay is asked for. They want the extra pay on Sunday only. No trouble is expected. The strikers will be paid off.to-morrow, and the bosses will try to fill their places. AFTER HER MONEY. A Boston Woman Warns the 87,000 She Loaned a Railroad Man. Sr-ECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 Boston, September 16. Colonel Mal colm Henderson, of Canada, Texas and Boston, was landed in jail to-night for beat ing the Crawford House out of a board bill amounting to upward of 51,000. The Colonel is wanted also by Mrs. Helen Wall, a widow, who claims he has swindled her out of 57, )0. Colonel Henderson, it seems, is part owner of the "Wichita and Dallas railroad. At one time he was its chief owner, but during his absence from Texas, in the North, his right-hand man, one Dr. Reed, so the Colonel claims, so mismanaged things that Mr. Jay Gould got possession of the property and holds it still. While an amanuensis to the Colonel Mrs. "Wall learned of the magnitude of his busi ness operations, and having considerable money of her own, she accepfed his offer to put some of it into one of his land schemes. Her business relations with the Colonel were, however, very unfortunate, and she is trying to recover the money she advanced on his note. She secured judgment against him once, but failed to file it in time, owing, she claims, to the duplicity of her lawyer. "When she visited the Colonel and demanded back her money, she asserts, the Colonel pulled out a revolver and threatened to shoot if she didn't keep quiet. The Colo nel's arrest for the hotel claim against him has revived her hopes, and she thinks if she cannot get the moey eh; will set some of his land securities, which are quite valua ble. A THOROUGH.

'SPECIAL TELEPBAM TO TOE DISFATCH.1 Washington, September 1,6. General Warner returned from Deer Park this evening, and confirmed the report sent out from that place that he had declined the appointment as Commissioner of Pensions on account of his inability to afford the loss of his lucrative law practice. It is said that the place has been offered to Major Merrill, of Massachusetts, who has been a pension agent, Department Commander and very popular Grand Army man for years, and it is thought there is little doubt that he will accept. A special from Boston says: Major George S. Merrill, who was summoned to Washing ton to confer with President Harrison in regard to a successor to Tanner, has re turned, and said to-day to The Dispatch correspondent: The removal of Tanner was a serious matter, bat the President had no other course to pursue. By so doing he has aroused the indig nation of G. A. R. men all over the country, and he knew that great wisdom would have to be shown in selecting a man to take the office. In conferring with different men but one per son was mentioned. General Warner. He was looked upon by all as the one man who could unite the factions and restore harmony. He is beloved by all tho G. A. R. men throughout the country, and they know that he has their interests at heart. It was necessary to find a man who wa in sympathy with the aamims tration's desire for a broader construction of the pension laws, but who would not miscon strue the laws aDd slice off great chunks of the surplus, 'regardless of the legal restrictions. That is where Tanner made a mistake. Warner possesses ail tho qualifications for theolhce, and the greatest pressure was brought to bear upon him to induce him to accept. I'm afraid he won't accept. "In case General Warner declines, can you give me any idea who else will be selceted for the officer" was asked. Toe Major admitted that he wouldn't be surprised to receive a tele gram from President Harrison asking him to accept. PARDON R0AED BUSINESS.

Eastern Pnpor Makers Want No English Syndlcato in Theirs. rSFECIAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!, Boston, September 16. The paper man ufacturers hereabouts have received a cir cular from persons acting in behalf of an English syndicate, asking if they know of any paper mills in this section of the coun try which could be bought, and which would be likely to prove a safe and profita ble investment. The men composing the syndicate were prepared with a large amount of money to make an investment, if they could be sure that the business would pay liberally. The manufacturers do not profess to be in any great fear of the rumored English invasion. They are bv no means enamored, of the proposal of the English, men, as they recognize that it is a character istic of the people of that country to "get what they can and hold what they get." But they maintain that the syndicate will not get a foothold at all in this country. They argue that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, and propose to keep them out rather than to pnt them out after they have once taken hold. It appears that one of the inducements being "oflered by the syndicate is that the employes of the mill will" not be disturbed, but allowed to retain their present Dositions, the intended purchases being merely to take the form of a change of ownership without in any way affecting the working of the con cerns.

ANOTHER CRIME ADDED TO THEIR LIbT. Should the Turnkey Die a Lynching Parly Is Most Fiobabl-. ' The Nicely brothers, in jail at Smerset, under sentence of death, made a desperate attempt to escape yesterday, and did get away into the woods, where they were re captured by crowds of excited men. A turnkey of the jail was probably fatally shot by the murderers. Lynching is anticipated if he dies. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.1 Somerset, September 16. The Nicely brothers, confined in the county jail under sentence of death for the murder of Farmer TTmberger, in February last, escaped to-day by shooting Turnkey MeMillen twice in the left side, inflicting wounds from which it is thought he will die. Since their recent at tempt to escape by digging a hole in the wall of the prison, they have been kept confined in cells, but were allowed in the corridor at meal time, while their dinner was being banded into them. To-day the watchman, young Lehr, of Pittsburg, a qea federate who is awaiting trial for shoot ing young Scott, of the East End, covered the turnkey with a revolver while Dnve Nicely sprang on the turnkey and held him till his brother Joe fired two bullets into his left side CLOSE TO HIS HEART. The two murderers, each with a pair of revolvers, dashed through the jail out into the yard, and broke for a strip of woodland on the outskirts of the town The alarm was given, and citizens by the score, many of them mounted on fleet horses, started in pursuit. The wood was quickly snrrounded, and a .scouring party started through it. Dave was discovered up a tree, and the persuasive powers of several guns had to be brought to "bear upon him before be would agree to come down. A five-shooter Smith & Wesson revolver was found upon his person, with a large bag of cartridges. The crowd was wild with excitement, and made several ineffectual attempts to lynch Nicely, only being prevented by the several resolute officers present. Joe was taken about an hour afterward. He was concealed under some brush, and when his captors dragged him out he fell upon his knees and begged them piteously not to kill him. THREATENED LYNCHING. On the way to town the parties with the prisoners in charge were set upon several times by the crowd, who tried to take him from them and hang him. It was with great difficulty that the officers kept the crowd back, and several times the prisoner was struck in the face, back and on the head with stones and clubs. A revolver, with two empty chambers, was found on Joe, and two mora revolvers were found under the floor of one of the jail cells. The murderer's father was in town at the time, and'was the only person who did not seem at all excited. The turnkey is thought to be dying to night, and should his death occur it is al most certain that the angry and excited men who are now standing on the streets and around the prison will batter down the jail doors and take the prisoners out and hang them. THE GREAT CONUNDRUM is how an arsenal of six revolvers came into the possession of the prisoners. The rela tives and confederates of the Nicely boys have been hanging around the town and jail for several days, and there is no doubt but that a deep-laid and determined plan of es cape had been hatched. The jail is old and dilapidated, and it is extremely question able if its dozen of hardened prisoners will be found therein at the next session of court, which convenes next week. The town is being heavily patrolled to night, as grave fears are entertained that an attempt will be made by the friends of the Nicelys to rescue them. These mur derers have proved themselves the hardest criminals ever tried in this county. AND STILL NO JURY. Another Day Spent In Tnla Effort la the Cronla Trial. Chicago, September 16.

NOT SATISFIED YET. i i The London Dock Laborer Inclined to Slake More Trouble An Appeal to the Lord Mayor Some of the Complaints. London, September 16. Much ill-feeling exists between the dock laborers and the "blacklegs," the name applied to the men who took the places of the strikers, and the former refuse to work with them. Several encounters have already occurred Between them. Many of the dock laborers protest that th j leaders of the strike had no right to agree to the proposal that the strikers should work hand in band with the "blacklegs." The officials of the dock companies make a strong complaint to the Lord Mayor against the action of the returning strikers, and he has promised 'to do his utmost to compel the men to live up to the terms of their' agreement. Mean while, the situation is regarded as being so serious that a meeting of the joint docks' committee, the conciliation conrtnittee and the leaders of the strikers was called to con vene at the Mansion House. A deputation of ship owners arrived at the Mansion House wnile the meeting was in progress. Mr. Burns, one of the leaders of the strikers, spoke concerning the situation and the causes which led to it, and instanced several cases where unreasonable preference had been given to '"blacklegs." It was final ly agreed by all those present at the meeting to endeavor to have the agreement kept in tact by all the parties interested. At "the meeting at Poplar to-night, Mr. Burns said that the treaty with the work men had been broken by subordinate offi cials of the dock companies. Some of the wharfingers also had tried to get men at the old terms, but had failed. TJnlessthe agree ment with the men was kept there would be another strike. The directors of the dock companies, however, bad assured him that they would prevent any unfair preference being shown, and the ship owners had ad vised the directors to pay the fares of the "blacklegs" and send them back to their homes. Mr. Sidney Buxton, member of Parlia ment for the Poplar division ot Tower Ham lets, expressed the belief that matters would settle down quietly in a few days. He un derstood from Mr. Tillett that the men would be advised to continue at work, while the "blacklegs" would be gradually weeded out or induced to join the Dockmen's Union. Nearly 3.000 of the Surrey dockmen went back quietly to work to-day. CHASGED WITH SHIELDING GAMES'. The City Attorney ot St. Louis Accused of i Favoring" the Sports.

A motion for a new trial was made, and to-day Judge FInletter overruled the motion and was about to Impose sentence, when Thomas Hart, Jr., counsel for Mr. Sweigard and the railroad company, in formed ihe Court that as there were several important legal questions involved, it was desirable to obtain a decision from the Su preme Court upon them, and that he pur posed taking A "WRIT OP ERROR to that tribunal. In the meantime he de sired that judgment upon the verdict of guilty should not "be entered at this time, saying that immediately upon the affirm ance by the Supreme Court pf the proceed ings in the Quarter Sessions the fence would be at once removed, but if jndgment'was to be entered he thought that a fine would an swer, and that no imprisonment should be imposed. Judge Finletter replied that ,he would treat this corporation as anyone else. It had no title to the land, and, in fact, had no right of way. The only right that it possessed was the consent of the owners over whose land the railroad passed, who permitted its use without requiring dam ages from the company, and, notwithstand ing this, the company bad gone and exer cised the right of ownership, and HAD MAINTAINED THIS NUISANCE. The imposition of a fine, he thought, would be useless, "for what difference would it make," he said, "to the company if it owed 510,000, more or less. If a simple fine were imposed it might be paid and the company continue to maintain the nuisance, whereas if imprisonment were imposed it would be notice to every one who should work at or continue the maintenance of the nuisance that they were liable to imprison ment." r For these reasons, and others, he imposed a. fine of $l,00O.and sentenced Mr. Sweigard to six months, imprisonment He added that the imprfsonment would not be en forced without giving time to Mr. Hart to get his writ of error and an allocatur from the Supreme Court "Hereafter," he said, "if the Supreme Court should affirm the judgment and the nuisance be abated, he might not enforce the sentence of imprison ment."' Mr. Hart said to the Court that the fence would come down in 24 hours. ATTACKED BI FOOTPADS. Old notch Held Up by Chicago Highway man, Bat They Get Nothing. Chicago, September 16.
