GIBSON PEACOCK. Editor. VOLUME XXIII.—NO. 83. THE EE©END OF DESHORE. ICorrcßpondenco of tho Phlln. Evening Bulletin .1 Dushoxik, SunniVAN County, Pa., July bth, I have recently made an excursion into the Lehigh Valley. It is, as you know, inhabited mostly by the Pennsylvania Dutch and tlieir descendants,who have become more or less Anglicized, but I found stories and ■ rerainiscenecs’of settlers dating still further back. You will perhaps remember a very in teresting narrative of the Moravians, anil a history of their abandonedsettlement, “Guiy denliutten,” located near the present site of the beautiful village of "Wyahising, that ah ' peared in a recent number of the Atlantic Monthly. Kow’there remains no vestige of' those old American Crusaders except a beau tiful meadow that bears their name, and a \ modern “grocery” similarly dignified. \ Bailroads and canals have tinished the work of destruction commenced by the Indians on the one side, and their bitter enemies, the white settlers, upon, the other. Finding it - impossible to enlist either- party in their favor, they (the Moravians) were forced: to leave their homesteads,and travel “ cum impediment;*,'' to what was then considered the far‘West. There they met with no better fate, being, after a brief period of prosperity, exterminated by the suspicious white men. These reflections, which - are -unavoidable when one looks upon that beautiful part of the valley, cause one to feel, in a peculiar way, tljat America, young as it is : Ims not been exempt from those struggles tlial constitute the history of the old world, and that, too, to a greater extent than isi generally appreciated. While talking over these matters with a member of one of the old patentee families, he volunteered an explanation of the origin of the rather striking name of an adjacent hamlet. ’ Itis spelt at present “ Dushore,” and when any questions are asked as to its origin, the “ oldest inhabitant" can only say that ft is the name of “an old Frenchman” My friend’s narrative, however, throws jail the necessary light upon the subject, and surrounds it with a romantic interest. The rough facts of the story were as .follows: In the latter half of-the eighteenth century Admiral Du Petit Tho.uars, in the service of tlie French monarchy, was stationed at the Island of ,1 ava,as the naval representative ol Ins government, while there,the re volution broke out in Franco, and be was deprived of his command in consequence, and became an exile; Tlie Governor of the Island, however, allowed him to go with Ins crew in search of a new homes .'.and..they, selecting America as their refuge, iiiade' their way thither, and after many troubles succeeded* in settling in tlie beautiful and fertile Lehigh Valiev, Tliere, at a spot a few miles above Wyaliis'ing, they -built their, village,, calliug .-it ,verv appropri ately ■“Asylum.”; Witnfiv a few years, ’the block-house which they built has been stand ing, a 1 the ugh deserted imlf a century since; Tlio sailors, it sti lus, went to work with a will in constructing their new homes, and revelled in the, to-.thein,novel experience of. freedom lrom goremmeut; vlMjt, »as - has always been the ease withsed-faringinon, they were careless to a degree, and labored under tlie impression, so common among settlers of the better classes at that day, that all ’the luxuries .of civilized life were the /spontaneous produce - turns of the soil- Thia iulstake AdmiralDii Petit Tiioiuussaw.aud Qiediu vain to correct; until, disiiehrtened hv lack of success, and fearing the min thatseemed imminent, he removed albne to another spot, distant about fifteen, miles, where he made a little clearing and creetedhis own log homestead. However,' althouglwlisgusted with the folly of his com rades, he could not sever entirely the last ties connecting him with Ids native laud. Could ."he'have done so, he would have been no true Frenchman, and from all accounts, there never existed * more patriotic and high minded specimen of tbe“vienx regime,” as in deed his suleequent action proves. It is a subject worthy of contemplation. Tlie polished representative of that most courtly aristocracy that-tho—world-has over-seen,--wielding-his . lonely axe iu the midst of the pathless woods performing the most menial offices for himsel and dedeeating one day in each week to a pil grimage to his thoughtle* companions in exile, who, unmindful of the future, laughed at his warnings and thought to conquer a new country by shouting “vogue la gal’ere,” and drawing freely upon the limited stock of sup ' pUes which they liad brought with them. Bye and-hye tlie country around them began to at tract those iron-fisted veterans iu frontier life ‘ ami -warfare, who had been driven from more Eastern locations from the ever-increasing _ tide of immigration. They did not, scruple to impose upon their light-hearted Gallic neigh bors and encroach upon their rights,so that at last ruin to the latter seemed imminent, No doubt they then thought with feelings of despair upon the ilift'erout position which they might have occupied if the advice of their leader had been complied with. "While their fate had heen slowly approach ing, matters in La Belle France had nofheen by any means in a quiescent state. The “Lit tle Corporal;” having successively become Commandbr-in-Chief, First Consul and Empe ror, was waging war against all Europe, and with the sagacity which was so remarkable in ... him,"had won over many an able supporter by proclaiming general amnesty to all exiled Frenchmen who desired to serve under his banner. When this news reached the little band in northern Pennsylvania, is it to be wondered at, that, glorying in the renown of their'great fellow-countrymen, they hastened to his side? Such, then, was the action of the majority, and when we again hear of our old acquaintance, the Admiral, ho is found light ing liis vessel gallantly, broadside to broadside, with the English in that conflict which, taking place upon the sacred waters of the Nile, had as much influence upon the history of Europe as any ever fought within its boundaries, ex cept Waterloo. Shot completely in two by a cannon ball,he fell doing liis duty like a h'renolnuau of tho olden time, conscious of- a long line of ancestors whose honor lie was intrusted with, and de sirous of nothing more than an honorable death whereby it might be augmented. If his countrymen had been victorious, lie would have been enrolled among tho many heroes to whom Ms native land has given birth. Bein'* . associated, however, with a foiled “adventu rer” (although the greatest! that ever dignified the name), lus memory and eventful history have been forgotten, except among the old families who succeeded him in the work of re Claiming one of the richest tracts of territory within the limits of tho Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. They have perpetuated his name and that of his steward, Laporte, from whom ' this narrative originally came; but the former is preserved in such a mutilated form that there is danger of all remembrance ofthe ori ginal being lost in course of time, a circum stance tliat would deserve to be deplored by all who take an interest in tlie little romance that does exist in connection with the stern .reality of the early history of their country. Such was the story as told to me, and stand-! ing, as we were, in full view of the surround ing forests,.-, contrasting strongly with the beautiful village before us,lt made a deep im pression, deeper, than would have been the case under otliyf circumstances. —S.

Convention at Altoona, and Excur sion to t'rcHson. f Correspondence of the Pbila. Evening Bulletin. 1 correspond ent left. Philadelpliia last evening with tlie delegations of the Grand Army of the 'Repub lic from Posts 8,19 and 71. The members were dressed in dark clothes, fatigue caps and ap propriate badges. The Philadelphia Drum Corps accompanied them; and the men made a most creditable appearance. On the same train that bore the delegates from the Eastern Posts : to Altoona . were scores of the intelligent and : patriotic '' delegates ■to the Harrisburg Convention;: I could not refrain from drawing a com parisiqn between the soldiers and the men who seemed so jubilant about the coming nominee. The Grand Army is not political yet i am glad to say the majority of them are consistent, and their!interest is deeper in their comrades and:the living issues of the hour' thanin the memories of lost power or the de sire for office. This morning’s sun rose brilliantly over the greeumountains and yellow valleys around this delightful; town, As the different delegations came in, old comrades met who Had been parted for years, and -the hearty greetings so peculiar to old soldiers were heard on every side. Captain J. W. Curry, of Post 02 Altoona,vvelcomed the delegates from over one hundred Posts in a neat and heartfelt ad dress, to which Captain A. W. AVarris, of Post 19, replied on behalf of the members of the Convention. After breakfast the delegates assembled at Lowtheris Hall, and after the credentials were passed on, the Department Officers read their Kcmi-nnnual reports. . The address of Grand Commander O. B.Bos by.shell was particularly fine, and was loudly applauded. He congratulated the Grand Army on its increase and strength. He denounced the effort ma_de by partisans to make it a political machine. He called on his comrades to oppose this, and to look to good men, with good principles, rather than mere names. He said the great object of the Order was to Care for the widow and orphan of the fallen com rade; to aid the crippled or helpless soldier, and to keep fresh the holy memories of the war, forgetting, as far as possible, the bitterness en gendered by the years of strife. -The reports of A. A. Gen. Beath; A. Q. 31. Alackay; A. I. Gen. Story, and Ass’t. Surgeon- General Mitchell, showed'that the Order was tlourisliing, and carrying out its gTeat work of charity and patriotism. After the adoption of the reports the Con vention adjourned till evening, to take advan tage of the special train so kindly provided by tlie Pennsylvania Central Company, which was to take them to' Orcsson. The Altoona Silver Cornet Band accompanied the excur sion, and added to the pleasure of the occasion- Your correspondent has not the time nor the ability to. describe. the scenery, the delightful grounds at Cresson, or the cordial welcome tendered the excursionists; suffice it to say, the party returned to Altoona by «ippertiine, thoroughly delighted. • In the evening a secret session was held, when, according to Instruction from the tional Encampment, the ritual was changed. \Ve must congratulate the Grand Army on Hie success of the convention, the good'fel lewship that prevailed among the members, and the great good it appears to be ’doing throughout the land. It. Incidents of tlie Democratic Convention. We gather the following paragraphs from the columns of yesterday’s Harrisburg Tele graph: r —Within the past two days we havenoticed several roblierics that have occurred in this city. In addition to those heretofore noticed we have heard of the following: Dr. Christy, Of Hollidayshurg, was relieved of a pocket book containing $25; J. L. McConnell, of Waynesburg, Greene county, a pocket-book containing $125; J. D. ClausS.of Carbon county, ot $25. —Shocking though it may appear, neverthe less >‘the reporter of the Tribune,” as he in formed ns, had his pocket picked attbeDemo ciatic Convention yesterday. However, ho had enough funds left to-day to purchase an other .'‘card ease,” which the thieves had mis taken for something more valuable. 1 —A Mr. Mickey some time during yesterday was relieved of liis gold watch, and Patrick Murphy was arrested on suspicion of haying stolen it. Shortly after the watch was in some mysterious manner returned to its owner, Who refused to ax>pear against- Murphy. A note for one thousand dollars, signed by a party in New Castle, was found on tlie person of "Murphy, and as a gentleman from Lawrence county had lost a considerable sum of money, Murphy was committed in default of $l,OOO bail for trial at the next term of court to answer the charge of robbery. —Edward Magee and James Doniiellv, hail ingfrom Pittsburgh, were arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, on suspicion of being pro fessional thieves. They were committed to prison to await a further hearing. —The loek-up lias been doing a flourishing business during the past few days, and among its occupants were members of the Cass and Packer-clubs in attendance uiion the “grand snake dance” on the bill. —Champagne, whisky, cigars, &c., were furnished “free grads, for nothing,” at the Bolton House, last evening, to the Democracy and their admirers. The hill will he footed.no doubt, hv the successful candidate for the Gubernatorial-nomination. —Since our last report there were eight in ebriated individuals' before the Mayor, who were disposed of in the usual manner. —Our streets were filled with drunken men and boys last evening, “wlio made night hideous” with their orgies. No doubt since the adjournment of the Convention and tlio departure of tlie attendant crowd,our city will, resume its wonted quietness. Great Fire at Blackfaot City, Montana.

APPALLING SCENES AND INCIDENTS; NAMES.OFTHE KILLED AND WOUNDED [From tlio'Ncw York Herald of To.-du.yJf ! The lone, dismal arid bloody catalogue of disasters that marks the history of the Erie" Eailroad is made again to bear another Buri den of human slaughter, in the record of one? ofthe most unmitigated railroad murders the public has heard or for some time. At mid bight of Wednesday over a dozen human beings were rushed headlong into eternity through the awful living portals of fire, at a place called Mast Hope, twenty-eight miles west of Port Jervis, on the Erie Bauroad, by the downright carelessness of the engineer, in charge of a freight train, against which the mull express from New York, at ; hall-nast: six P. ,M., came in col lision. The facts in a few sentences are these:—The freight, train backed on a switch' at Masthope depot to get out of the way of the passenger train, but failed to get out fast enough or far enough to avoid being struck by the passenger train,for which the track should nave always been kept clear. The engineer of the ireiglit train, wjis, of course, responsible; It is generally stated he was asleep at the time. A terrific collision occurred, three or four cars were burned, and in the laconic despatch of the Associated Press, furnished by the rail- 1 road authorities, “some emigrants in the smoking-car. some live or six in number, were burned.” . Sucli.is the skeleton of this fearful tale, making even in its faintest recital the blood of men ran cold who know how to realize over so vaguely the unpainted 1 horrors 1 of a railroad butchery. The battle-field is mercy itselfto such a scene. The soldier sinks on the sod with little to indicate the agony of death , but the i>oor. victim of a Collision re-i ceives no quarter, even aftey the.soul has left; the body. With his limbs torn'asunder, arid perhaps some little spark of tortured vitality still remaining, the fatal stovri pours out its' contribution to the work of death and destruction and leaves no vestige: of humanity behind save ; charred and>.black-' ened bones. As usual, there was little thought' of danger or of what lay in store for them some one hundred miles ahead, on the 1 Erie track, among the large and lively load of'.pas sengers that left the long dock, at Jersey City, 1 ' at a quarter to seven oklock Wednesday eve ning. The train was a full one, consisting, 1 with locomotive and. tender, of a mail and; baggage car, smoking car, two day and four sleeping Coaches; nine cars in 'all, carrying nearly four hundred passengers. Perhaps • not one ill: all that large, number of voy «{/eurs recurred at tlie moment of starting to Carr’s Bock, Milltown, the gorge at Elmira,or, any of the other bloody landmarks thickly strewed along this modern. Golgotha. Not one, to all appearances, and least of all the amiable, learned and ever genial gentleman, ' Bev. B. B. Hallock, of 329|East Fourteenth street,who in a few short hours thereafter’ was transformed from flesli and conscious- 1 ness into a black and burnt mass of lifeless bones. In the forward part of the smoking <;ar over a score of emigrants seated them selves in the later part or the evening, after .most of those gentlemen who: had sleeping /berths retired for the night arid threw' their cigar stumps away. Several of the emigrants—indulged—themselves in short clay-pipes, while others threw themselves into an attitude of sleep, and others kept telling stories to pass a portion of the mght away. The stay at Tunyir’s station for .supper was no longer than usual. The switch between tlie tracks at Milltown, a place of unhappy reputation, was passed by in safety. The conductor went up and down a few times, to see that all was right, from the smoking-car to tlie rear end sleeping-coach. The train was speeding on its course at the rate of from twenty to twenty-five miles an hour AVifli a double track, wide, strong ears, new couplings, a powerful locomotive, run ning at a steady, splendid pace, the passen gers felt that there was nothing to apprehend hut a broken rail. Little reflection, however, was given to that matter. The sleepers in the rear coaches turned around for amoment and fell away to slumber again. Every berth was occupied. Governor Walker, of Virginia,and Iris wife had a state-room,‘both hound for Binghamton. While all were wrapped m sleep, or in light, uneasy slumber, on hoard the train, the emigrants in the smoking ear even ceasing to talk, and the doors opening only at long intervals for the conductor or some restless member ofthe baggage corps to pass through, and while tlio train was dashing along with that speed of motion which leaves the sensation on the ear of the passen ger that, tlie wheels dance with a de lirious revolution on tlie rail, tlie flick ering light at the depot of Masthope hove in sight around a long and easy curve and on a 1 heavy grade. The engineer had his practiced eye on tlio alert at this particular point of the road, not that it is in anywise as dangerous as other portions, hut with an instinctive dread of that horrible apparition—a freight train— ielt more apprehension on the curve than if he had to cross a shaky bridge a 100 feet high. The second look he cast through the hull’s eye window, an instant or two after he entered on the curve, revealed the terrible fact to him that sometliing huge, black and ungainly was almost in liis immediate front, and that Iris train was running with lightnirig pace upon it. Another moment and the headlight .of his locomotive illuminated the rear ot the train ahead, while his ear caught the sound of the rattle and jolt of a long, loose freight train. Coolly he whistled down the brakes, while at the same instant a piercing scream went up from those who knew too well, what that appalling token meant. The precaution was ip vaiii. The great, heavy, panting locomotive ■of the passenger train, tearing forward in its course at. the speed of _ over twenty miles an hour, struck the front of the freight train as it shuffled lazily off on an oblique switch towards' the depot, and literally rearing up in air like a mighty lion in ins rage, crashed through the foremost iron wall of opposition and then careened ovet ontho track as though bereft of further strerigtli. The tender jumped upon the prostrate engine, the mail express struck against the wreck of iron, the baggage ear against the express, the smoldug car ran pellmell into the fearful ruin, and in less tijne than it takes to say it the entire mass was in a, blaze of tire. The shock was terrific. It reached to the uttermost end - of tlio train in all its intensity, shaking the. sleepers to their feet, and appalling the stoutest Hearted men ..that, heard it;. ..Npjioplo.a* Jiffs,awtul.momeut„ tor the poor people in the smoking car. Trucks were knocked from under bag gage and express cam and stood locked m combat, as it were,, upon the track. ; The body of the baggage car lay at one side,. tho express at the other, a passenger coach on toil,, while thrown in confusion'botwcen them all tossed, torn and blazing from floor to roof OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. was flie baggage car, with : its living freight caught in the stern and fiery jaws of death. Jets of fearful flame sprang upward from, the wreck, or rushed bissiug.like: steam from an escape pipe along the track and through the I passenger coaches. It was a heartrending | aiui awfully impressive spectacle to see the I lug column of red and roaring flame tear- i ingthrough the woodwork antimelting away a I dozen human forms without a soul under | Heaven being capable of stretching forth ail •ivni to the rescue.. Death,-..however, (lid its chief share of havoc before applying the torch to,finish its ghastly work; but horror of lior lorsf what a fate was that reserved for poor Dr. Halloek. Not a scratch marked him when the collision occurred. He was in the fore most sleeping coach, and was violently pitched forward into the tangled mass of broken wood work, but.received; no: injury, ~Worse than injury, however, h£ found, himself,. in all jus strength and sensibility, locked up in the heavy beams that made the floor frames of the dismantled cars. The dreadful fire from beneath flared up suddenly around him. 3len with blanched and bewildered faces, stood upon the track or rushed frantically to and fro, erring, “Is there no help .for :Dw Halloek?”, The fire shot out with the intensity of a fur-’ nace, and triumphantly defied any man to approach and rescue. the victims within’ its grasp. Above the cracking roar the firm and' intrepid voice of the doctor,'in the midst of, Ills remarkable agony, was lieardto-exclaim to the men around the scene, “l am not injured : but I cannot escape.” ;! ; .• i , All that could be done by the people of Mast Hope, who flocked to the depot .to give assist ance, failed to save the ill-fated doctor; hut iti is at least consoling to know that he went' down to his appalling doom with all the lofty attitude and resignation of a' Christian. But the doctor was not alone in this calamity.. A man named Daniel Baur was jammed and burned to death in a similar manner, and Erastus Wheaton was injured in one of liis. feet. v , At nine o’clock in tlie morning, after great exertions, six burned bodies were rescued from tlie ruins of the smoking car, and at noon .of yesterday a passenger by the midday train reported thirteen charred bodies lying along the track. There were, comparatively few wounded. Flying sidinters were rare, aud the terrific force and suddenness of the shock left nothing to accept Imt instant death for those, near the point of collision. Some of the train ; "men on tlie express were hurt hut none killed. Out of 150 pieces of baggage only eleven were saved;, the remainder ,was destroyed or ground up in the wreck. .Confirmation of the accident was immediately telegraphed to : the i officers of the Krie Bailway; in this city, wlio' gave orders- to have a. train.made. up to convey } surgeons to tlie scene of disaster, and to take' the - necessary articles along for alleviating! suffering. , Nearly all the through mail matter: was destroyed; the way mails ware saved. ’ The track was cleared for trains before noon; yesterday.:. - ; ; . Among, others on the train were Mn. ; Black, wife of Professor Black, and sister of i Mrs. Aaron lung, of Pateisoil, N. J. She was accompanied:; by two -.'children. Professor, Gould and General Superintendent Kucker' went "up to visit the.scene on tke , 'Bufl'alo ex-i press yesterday morning. Five s of the injured l persons were reipoyed to Port Jervis, where! every attention/was given them. .! , 1 Tlie latest Accounts ol* tlie Disaster.! The latest particulars gleaned-on the scene" of the disaster, near midiiight last evening,' gave the ensuing version arid cover the names and addresses of most of those wlio were killed and wounded. Extra freight train No. 39 hail been tele-; graphed to wait at Masthope for the passing of trains No. 7 and 3 (both passenger). The en gineer, Griffin, backed into the side track and went to sleep, and in the meantime train No. 7 passed. The engineer got up, apparently asleep, and turned on the throttle. The fire man asked him what he was about, but before he had time to answer the engine of train No. 3 collided with that of No. 39, hitting it. just for ward of the tender. The passenger locomotive overturned completely, scattering'the fire through the splintered wreck, which.speetlily ignited and blazed uplnto a brilliant confla-, gration. The engineers and firemen on both trains escaped with slight injures, though how they escaped they are themselves unable to tell. The passenger train consisted, besides engine’s tender, of one mail car, two baggage cars, one smoking car, one day passenger coach and four sieeping.coaches. When the collision occurred the Tear baggage car telescoped with the smoking car, smashing into and about half way through it. The pas sengers in this ear were principally German emigrants, bound to tbe West. NearlyVill the passengers in the smoking ear were either killed outright or were so jammed up in the debris of the wreck as to render their escape impossible, and they met death in its fnost hor rible and agonizing form by tbe demon of fire. Only four or five passengers are known to have escaped from this car, and the probability is that twelve or fifteen persons were burned The remains of seven bodies were taken from the ashes, but nothing remains ' of them save, a few charred hones, and portions of the trunks of two or three are not entirely con sumed. A German, who lives near the scene of tlie disaster, was aroused by the engineer of the train, and .saw the flames when they first hurst forth. As he approached the wreck lie states that lie heard screams issuing from the burn ing ear, but only of short duration. Bev. B. B.Halloclc, a Uni versa list preacher of this city, in company with his brother-in law, a gentleman residing in Syracuse,whither they were going, was uninjured by the colli sion, hut his feet were fastened in such a man ner as to render liis extrication impossible,and he mot. death'calling Upon his friends “for God’s sake to help him, as he was not injured, hut only fast.” Notwithstanding the efiorts made to release him the flames reached him, and nothing now remains of him save the head and trunk, shrivelled and shrunken, his legs and arms having been completely burned off. Among the burned was a German woman, and her two. children. A German emigrant, named David Baer, was also burned. The remains of the soven bodies that were taken from the ashes were found in a space of ten feet.; There is nothing by which they may Derecognized. They were placed on. a pjat iorm along,.the track and covered up with blankets, awaiting the arrival of the Coroner for an inquest. They were then forwarded to Fort Jervis. Among three or four who were rescued from tlie wreck was Mr. Jolm Flowers, of this city, who_states that there wore, as ho thinks, some twelve or fifteen passengers ahead, .ot" him in the smoking car, and he thinks not one escaped. tjST OF THE DEAD.
