Papers upon opthalomy, otology and. laryngology were read before the Homeopathic State Medical society today the third (lay's session of the society's annual convention. One of the principal (tap ers was by Dr. H. F. Sehanu, of Head ing, upon Ophthalmia Neonatorum" (inflammation of the: eyes.) The subject was treated in detail and Dr. Schanti said: "The proportion of the blind In our asylums who have lost their sight as the result of purulent Inflammations of the eye in infancy. Is so large that the efforts In securing legislation to com pel the reporting of all inflamed eyes in the new born seems to be warranted. I feel that while our Pennsylvania state board of health Is rather too extreme in the statements In their circular on 'The Prevention of Blindness' in say ing 'No one should become blind from. thU disease,' these statements will only bave the tendency of making us more careful In our work." A number of other papers-were read at the morning and afternoon sessions. The following otttcers were elected to serve for one year: President, Dr. Z. T. Miller, Pittsburg; first vice-president, Dr. William H. Kelm. Philadel phia; second vice-president. Dr. Horace il. Ware, Scranton; treasurer. Dr. J. F.

Disastrous Accident on the Baltimore and Ohio RailroadTwo Lives Known to Have Been Lost. Cumberland. Mil., Oct. 1. At 11. SO o'clock lust night one of the most dis astrous freight wrecks known in the history of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road occurred on the eastern slope of the Pittsburg division, ul Philson, 'JK miles west of this city. Two lives are known to have been lost mid It Is be lieved a n u in Per of bodies ure still bul led In the wreck. Fast freight east, No. 74, was sched uled to ntcvt west bound freight No. at I'hilsoti. The latter train reached the siding and waited on the main track for the east bound train which was to bave taken the siding. No. 74 left Sand Patch, which is the summit of the Al legheuies, S miles above Hbilsoil, on lime, but shortly alter starting down the guiido the crew losl control of the train. By reason of the wet rails the brakes hud no effect and when the en gineer reversed his engine, the cylinder hi'iiil blew out. In an instant the train w as going ul express speed, und I he crew decided lo lake chances by re maining aboard rather than jump in the darkness to almost certain death. As the engine shot round the curve at t'hilsoti the engineer saw' lite headlight of No, 05 a Ilea d. ami swung himself off in the darkness. The train struck with an awful crash. Hut li engines were crushed Into scrap iron and I lie debris of hum 4" lo tin curs was piled in a vast Ina p. higher than the telegraph wiles. Wrecking civvvs have been working all duy but liiivc made hut little impres sion on the tangled muss. Up l midnight tonight two denil bodies have been recovered from the wreck and It is belli gr-d eight or ten more ate burled under ia as It is known Hull there wus a large number of IrHiups on the train. The dead bodies recovered ure those of Cliiirles lxiw ling, of Cincinnati, ami of a tramp whoso name is unknown.

A Diiilardlv Attempt to Ditch a Train eur Altoona. Altoona, Pa., Oct. 1. A most dastard ly attempt was made to wreck the train near Graziervllle, a short dis tance east of this city, late last night. Altoona accommodation, due here at 10 P. ni., ran into a tie chained to the track. Fortunately the train, which was crowded with passengers, was moving very slowly at the time and this fact averted what would probably have been a horrible accident. The train was brought to a sudden stop and two men who were seen run ning away were chased some distance, but they escaped to the woods. It was evidently the intention of the villains to wreck tho St. Louis express, the Pennsylvania railroad vestibuled train due here at 10.45. the first train after Altoona accommodation. It makes no stops betweeen Harrisburg and this city and runs very fast at Graziervllle. Color is added to this theory by the fact that the tie was fastened to only one of the rails, the train-wreckers evidently being frightened away by the approach of the accommodation, which was late, and it Is believed the crimi nals thought it had passed that point. The chain which was used to fasten the tie to the track was brought to this city and an effort Is being made to catch the men, who are believed to be the same parties that made the at tempt to wreck the western express in a similar manner, last week, and to wreck the southwestern express the week before.

Across the line into Georgia the devastation was con tinued. At Folkston, which Is near the Okefenokee Swamp, the school house was wrecked and four children killed. Several casualties are reported in Camden county, Ga. The storm then continued on Its way to Brunswick and Savannah. There Is no way to estimate the property losses in Florida. The losses may seem heav ier than when closely examined, but the opinion of the Insurance men here Is that he Florida losses will foot up to U.UOO.OUO. This seems, however, an ex cessive estimate. .

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 1. Captain Reuben F. Kolb, father of the Populist party in Alabama and editor of the People's Trtbune.the organ of the party here, is out In nn editorial, over a col umn and a half In length, In which he comes out for Bryan and Sewall and the entire ticket and the Democratic nominee for congress, throwing Wat son overlioard, with Dr. G. B. Crowe, the Populist candidate for congress. He contends that the Populists are for Bryan, but cannot do anything for him by voting for Bryan and Watson. Kolb and his lteutenunt, Pltou C. Bowman, have been invited to take the stump in Indiana and Illinois for Bryan and Sewall, and It is probable they will ac cept. Philadelphia, Oct. 1.

In which It calls on both these gentlemen in the inter est of the election of Bryun to with draw In order that Chairman Jones may name a candidate who will be ac ceptable to all interests. Wharton Barker writes: "Bryan is acceptable to all. But Sewull Is not. Neither Is Wutson. We Impugn neither the Americanism of Mr. Sewull nor Mr. Wutson, but neither is recognized by all parties as the man for the crisis. Mr. Sewall is not ac ceptable to the Populists, The Demo crats will not take Mr. Watson. What, then, are we to do? We answer: Take litem both down. Put up a candidate ucceptnble to all Americans. "Such a man can certainly be found. Who that man Is, Is not for us to say. It is not for Democrats or Populists or bi-metalllc Republicans. The man for the place must not be the candidate of any parly; lie must be the candidate of ull. It is for the trusted leaders of our wage-earning class, In unison with the leaders of the Democratic and Populist parties and of the bl-metalllc Republi cans, lo say who that man shall be. The election Is only live weeks off, but there Is yet time to take down both Messrs. Sewall und Watson and put up a new man who will stand for all Americans. If this is (lone, nothing can prevent the election of Mr. Bryan by an overwhelming vote." Chicago, Oct. 1. Popucratic National Chairman Jones declares he hus wash ed his hands for good and all of the Watson complications, and that so far as the national committee Is concerned Mr. Sewall will remain on the ticket unless he should voluntarily withdraw, and, says the national chairman, "at this late day he Is hardly likely to do anything of the kind." TO AID THE STRIKING MINERS. Bodies of Armed Men Reported to Be Entering Leadville. Lendvllle, Col., Oct. 1. General Brooks has been notified thut quite a body of armed men, who had apparent ly left an incoming train at Arkansas Junction, passed the Government fish hatchery, six miles west of the city, Monday, and there inquired the way to Leadville. They refused to answer questions, and left hurriedly. On Tues day another armed body appeared at the hatchery and asked the same ques tion. General Brooks will place the militia in such a way as to intercept any similar parties. The possibility of ending the strike by arbitration or other amicable means has disappeared, for the time being at least, the Cloud City Miners' union having voted In regular meeting last night to continue indefinitely its fight for uniform wages of lit per day for all of the men In all the mines. Two hundred members of the union have withdrawn and will seek work. The mine operators will fill the places of the Btrikers with outsiders as rapid ly as possible, and the state militia will probably be kept here a long time. RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN.
