TWO TRAINS COLLIDE.
Serious Wreck on the l.eliicti Vnllcy
II unit in thu Coxton VnrdHrnko
imiii Hounds Seriously Injured.
I'lttston, AUK. S.-Qulte a serious
wreck occurred yistrday lnornlnjr In
tho upper end of tli Coxton yard. One
onjrlne, two cars and a taboose wore
wrecked, and one man was Injured, but
fortunately no lives were lost.
The scene of the accident Is about 2...00
feet west of Falling Springs. Two ex
tra freight trains were coming east.
The first had Just cnteied the yard and
come to a stop, when the second, close
ly following, ran into the rear end of
the first. Tho crash' must have been a
terrible one, since the engine of the
second train. No. 01!), was thrown from
the trade, ovf a low stone wall, and
landed on Its side In the bed of the
liver. How badly damaged the loco
motive is cannot be learned nt this
writing, as a detailed i-xaniinntlon has
not yet been made. The engineer, Peter
I.oux, of Say re, and his fireman both
jumped and escaped Injury.
The first car of the second train was
bcidly wrecked, as also was the last
car of the first train. One was loaded
with oats ad the other with middlings,
and the grain was spilled over tho
track?. The cpboose attached to the
first train received the blunt of the
collision, and Is a total wreck. Arthur
V. Hounds, a younir married man, re
siding In Sayre, and engaged as a
brakeman, was sitting on the bench
Inside the caboose when the crash oc
curred, and It H a matter for wonder
ment that he was not killed outright,
fie was not even rendered unconscious,
but says that after the shock, he found
himself lying In a dazed state under the
broken timbers. He crawled out him
self and reached the bank, whence he
was taken to tho Plttston hospital. Ills
Injuries are very painful, but are not
considered dangerous. His worst Injury
Is a broken bono In the shoulder, but
there are also severe bruises which
cause much pain.
Tlie accident occurred at IJ.uO o'clock,
and both of the main tracks were
blocked until S o'clock, though the
tracks themselves were not seriously
Injured. The railway officials will hold
an Investigation to place tho responsi
bility for the accident.
SHOT FOR A BURGLAR.
Kvnn Hill, While in an Intoxicated
State, Is Hit While Prowling About
Hairy K. Kulp't House.
AVyomlng, Aug. S. A man named
Kvan Hill, whose home Is In Mudtown,
nnd who claims that he was drunk and
not responsible for his acts, was shot
and seriously Injured at 2 o'clock yes
terday morning by Harry E. Kulp,
while he was prowling around the lat-
ter's house on Wyoming avenue.
Mr. Kulp says lie was awakened by
his wife, who had heard somebody on
the brick walk nt the side of the house.
He (illicitly arose, secured his revolver,
and went to the front door. Before
opening the door he heard somebody
tumbling with the screen door outside,
but when he oponed the door, there
was nobody to be seen.
Ho then walked to tho end of tho
porch and looking down the side of the
house, saw a man with his foot on the
edge of the foundation and his hands
near a window. He called out for tho
man to go awav. and he replied that
ho would not. Mr. Kulp then ordeied
him to throw up I1I3 hands, and says
that tho man made a move as though
to got out a revolver. Mr. Kulp then
llred, and the man dropped, the bullet
having passed through a portion of the
lung.
A physician was called, who dressed
the man's Injuries, after which tho
patient wns taken to tho Wilkes-Barre
hospital. His wound Is quite serious,
but hopes are entertained for his re
covery. Hill had been frequenting
Wyoming lately. He claims that he
had no Intention to rob, but was under
the Inlluence of liquor when he entered
Mr. Kulp's yard.

to lead her to where he was. As though
some one forced her along, she left the
house and wnlkod to a stable at the
end of the lot, whereupon the distress
ed womnn cnlled, "George, won't you

To her Intense joy she heard a faint
response emanating from a stable. She

could not talk. An alarm was given,
nnd while physicians were sent for a

He walked continually, and last night
wandered back to tho Cameron tape

and his brain worked clearly enough
for him to stagger along the path and
fall exhausted In the stable.

proved tug niaacsT SURPRISE
A Tiivcly I'lght in tho Fourth District
for Republican Stnto Delegates.
Iiosch Thrown Dowu--.Moorc, Mulr
nnd Hriiinm Arc tho Other Dclcgntcs
Pottsvllle, Aug. 8. The fight hero
yesterday for Bepubllcan state dele
gates was one of the liveliest ever
waged In the Fourth district. The
delegates elected were:
Major J. F. Finney, Frank Moore
and James Mulr, of Pottsvllle, and
Congressman C. N. Brumm, of Mlncrs
vllle. Tho biggest surprise of the day was
Major Finney's success, He had an
unusually largo vote, He was told to
withdraw from the light prior to the
convention by Quay, but he plucklly
kept In It, and won his own battle,
tfhus proving himself a now leader
in Schuylkill's Bepubllcan politics.
Hon. S. A. Losch, who wns overzeal
ous for Finney's election, was hlmseir
thrown down, but he says he had noth
ing personal nt stake at this time. Fin
ney was fought hard by tho Brumm
Quay crowd, but was elected by the aid
of tho nntl-Quayltes. Mulr is a solid
nntl-Quaylte and state treasurer of the
Business Men's League.
Summed up, there are two Quayltes,
one nntl-Quayltes nnd Finney, the in
dependent. Losch's defeat was en
compassed by his being too sure, nnd
trying to carry the rest of his ticket
with him.
The Brumm faction brought strong
resolutions to tho convention indorsing
Brumm for governor. The fight for
delegates seemed a little doubtful for
them nnd they did not have confidence
to Introduce them lest their Interest
would bo effected. For that reason
there was no fight made against a mo
tr.ln to dispense with the committee on
resolutions.
MONTANA LIKJISIiATIVK NOTKS.
Tho Hrce.v Legislators of the West
Arc 11 Class Unto Themselves.
From the Boyerman Chronicle.
It was a Montana legislator who. when
some corrections In spelling and gram
mar In his bill were called to his at
tention by the committee, snld: "Why,
you fellows have mucllated it!"
It was the same statesman who said,
In addressing a committee of which he
was o member: "The muddy slough of
politics was the boulder upon which tho
law wns split In twain and fell In a
thousand pieces from the pedro of jus
tice. Let us, then, gear up our lions,
that we can go forth with a clear head."
Upon addressing the chair, this same
orator delivered himself as follows: "I
feel that for a plain man like myself
to address a body composed of so many
law attorneys as this is, is Indeed cast
ing pearls before swine; or, In other
words, to make my meaning plainer,
the honor that I feel at the present
time overcomes me as Goltah was over
come, when like David, I come before
you armed with' only the the or, us the
Good Book says, let us not ride a hob
by in this legislature, lest It turn upon
us as did Balaam's ass, and, In a loud
voice, proclaim, 'I am he.' "
"Ah! I see," raid the good man who
was arguing with a legislator regard
ing the Initiative and referendum. "You
cannot bisect or dissect the woof of
carping misanthropy from tho web of
immedicable pessimism. Ycu are a
polemic"
"You're a liar!" Interrupted the leg
islator; "I'm a Populist."
Some of tho legislators are being criti
cised for leaving their families at home.
We see nothing wrong In this. Some
one must stay ut home to milk the
cow with the brlndle tall, split tho
kindling, shovel snow, feed tho chick
ens and carry slop to the pigs. Who
can do this better than tho good house
wife? Hired help Is at all times er
ratic, end more especially during the
dancing season. Because a man Is
forced to go to tho legislature to man
age the affairs of state, play nigger
billiards, cat hotel grub and give tho
ranch the high sign, Is it required
th'at the wife be wrested from tho farm?
No; a thousand times, no.

New York, Aug. 7. Wnll street has not
seen a livelier Saturday day of traJIng
than that of tcdny for a long time. All
of the variable factors that have been In
force In tho week continued to cxerclso
nn Inlluence i nd there were added to
theso several special causes that carried
the market up with a rurge to a higher
level all around. Principal of these was
the sensational ump In Manhattan Ele
vated stock, which opened with running
sales of a thousand shares nt 10214 to 105
as against 9JVi at last night's close. Al
most Immediately the price roso further
to 10J and reacted quite violently but
steadied ugaln and closed at IWVs. a net
gain of 7U. Probably tho large existing
short Interest in this stock was respon
sible for this sensational movement In
part. (The Grangers were leaders in point
of activity and showed sharp gains to
now record prices In a period of several
years. Tho total sales of the day woro

Nerves Just as surely come tram the use of
Hood's Sarsaparilla as does the cure bt
scrofula, salt rheum, or other so-called
blood diseases. This is simply because
the blood affects tho condition ot all tho
Nerves
bones, muscles and tissues. II it is Im
puro it cannot properly sustain these
parts. If made pure, rich, red and vital
ized by Hood's Sarsaparilla, it carries
health instead ot disease, and repairs tho
worn, nervous system as nothing else can
do. Thus nervous prostration, hysteria,
neuralgia, heart palpitation, are cured by
Sarsaparilla
Because it is the One True Blood Purifier.
