The Beamish Case.
Hon. Frank A. Beamish, Sergeant-at-aruis
of the Democratic House of Represen
tatives and late Democratic candidate for
Senator in Luzerne county, has been con
victed of forgery. When Mr. Beamish
learned of the verdict of the jury he left
for parts unknown. There are several suits
still pendingagainsthim,butas Mr. Beamish
will have to be caught before he can be
tried it is probable they will not be heard
from again. It is evideut that Mr. Beamish's
usefulness as a Democratic politician is
enled ; and what a good thing it is that the
House is not Democratic this winter. It
never could have got on without Mr.
Doaniibh.
A MAD TAILOR.
HE ESCAPES FROM AN ASYLUM AND PER
SONATES OUR SAVIOUR.
The individual who has been profanely
representing himself in Philadelphia and

son namod Juhn O. Daudf, of Bridgerou,
X. J. A Timks reporter discovered that
lie was formerly a cutter in Charles C.
tirosecup's tailoring establishment, on
Laurel street, above Commerce, in that
citv. The investigation revealed some in
teresting phases in Paudt'd life. Up to
two years ago he was a quiet, industrious
tailor, in the establishment, mentioned, his
earnings having been invested in the
Havana lottery for a number of years pre
viously. In 1S75 Daudt drew a prize in
the Havana lottery amounting to 810,000
in go!J. His success turned his head.
During one of his lucid intervals he married
lis boarding-house mistress, notwithstand
ing he hi'd a wife, and .seven children resid
ing in IJi'thh'htin, Pa., to whom he had
reirnlai'y sent remittances. Shortly after
the a-,rv matrimonial alliance Mr. Daudt

Important Decision.
The Supreme Court of the District of
1 t ! I. . .1 I 1 l. 'Of
ouim'jia nas ueuueu, in a ouuumg asso
ciation ease that the association cannot sell
property for lines, but that the complain
ant nm-t pay back what he received with
the compensation allowed by law, before
he can regain his property given in trust
to secure payment of tha sum borrowed.
This decision is doubtless the entering
wedge to the ultimate overthrow of the
illegal money making schemes all over the
country, known as 'Building and Loan As
sociations." These schemes have been very
profitable to few, but ruinous to many.
The- have evaded the usury laws, by
exacting large interests under the color of
talcs ot'loans and tines for delinquency.
The courts should have interfered long
i;ro. These associations have been the ruin
f thousands of hard working laboring men
nd mechanics, by encouraging them to
borrow money of these organizations, and
invest in improvements or business opera
tions, and when the day for payment came
the money was not to be had and the fines
were added to the encumbrance.
In proof of this, there are many Sheriff
faics everywhere by the order of these
liui'uing and Loan Associations.
If other courts affirm the decision of the
"Whington court, there will be trouble
growing out the sales and forced sacrifices
to collect fines and illegal interest for these
Associations.
W e have no sympathy for money sharks
any where or in any event. All of the
numerous contrivances to speculate in
money, to possess riches without earning
them, to favor the capitalists at the expense
tf the industrious, and to evade and defy
the wholesome usury laws of the land, we
most emphatically oppose and deprecate.
Those who fatten upon others are right
ly styled "drones in society." They way
not uufrerjuently be called leeches or raid
ers in a community. They don't produce
anything, they grow not a blade of graiw,
no? cultivate a hill of corn, they make noth
ing for others to eat or wear, and they add
no real value to the productiveness of the
country , but all of the time are piling Hp
great riches by foundering the rest of man
kind. When part of the people live and
prospw by their wits and by their sj)ccla
tions, the other" part must suffer to corres-
pond with that unearned prosperity. The
money made for Associations by high rates
of interest and frequent fines, must to taken
from tha borrowers. It is a genteel manner
of robbery, under color of law, and works
great injustice to the industrious atxl un
guarded victims. The sooner the country
destroys these schemes to enrich the few at
the expense of the many, the better. Money
pauics would be less frequent and pros

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
A TRAIX FALLS THROUGH A BRIDGE
MANY LIVES LOST.
At Ashtabula, Ohio, last Friday, a west
ward bound train broke through a bridge
and fell 75 feet into a deep creek, crushing
through the ice. The cars took fire and
many persons were burned or drowned. A
heavy snow storm prevailed at the time.
The citizens of Ashtabula turned out and
worked nobly to save the people in the can-,
but as the snow storm ceased the weather
became very cold, and made the work very
difficult.
Cleveland, Dec. 30 2 a. m. The
scene of the accident is a few rods east of
the depot. The iron bridge spans the
Ashtabula creek, seventy-five feet above
the water. On both sides are high banks.
Snow has been falling almost constantly for
the past forty-eight hours, and now a driv
ing storm is raging, making it very difficult
to get news from the wrecked and burning
train. Very few particulars can be learned
at this hour. The citizens of Ashtabula,
with a competent corps of physicians, are
doing everything possible for the sufferers.
In some cases w hole families were killed.
A man, his wife and mother ; another man
with his wife and son, another wife and
daughter. A little child was killed. Several
of the dead are California people.
The train, which was due at Ashtabua
about 5 o'clock, was two hours behind time,
owing to the severe storm and the size
of the train, which consisted of thirteeu
coaches and two locomotives. The bridge
gave way, precipitating one locomotive and
all the cars into the river ninety feet below.
The cars took fire and all but those
covered by water were burned. There
were about fifty saved, nearly all wounded.
It is estimated that from two to three
hundred are killed and their bodies burned.
Ashtabula is on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern railroad, fifty-four miles
east of Cleveland. Its population is about
2.000. It is the terminus of the Ashtabula,
Youngstown and Pittsburg railroad.
A special train, with physicians, nurses
and everything for the convenience of the
wounded at the wreck, left Cleveland at ten
o'clock. The weather is still growing
colder, and only four bodies have so far
been taken from the debris.
The wreck is still burning. It is im
possible to get the uamcs of the killed.
The list of wounded will be swelled con
siderably. Public and private houses are
thrown open to the wounded and destitute.
LATER ABOUT GO LIVES LOST.
Cleveland, Dec. CO. 3 a. ra. As
near as can be ascertained, 52 persons were
wounded. How many persons escaped
unhurt it is impossible to find out.
It is estimated there were one hundred
and seventy-five passengers on the train j
at least une-third of these were killed,
burned to death, or froz;n. The train was
drawn by two engines ; one engine remained
on the bridge, everything else went down.
The engineer and fireman on the engine
that went down were badly but not seriously
injured. The work of removing the dead
bodies still goes on very slowly.
The weather has become extremely cold.
The wreck has now burned down, but it
will be daylight before much can be done
towards getting out the dead. The
express car was smashed to splinters. The
train is known as the Pacific Express.
There were six coaches and one or two
drawing-room cars.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
Charles S. Carter, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
says he was sitting in a palace car with
three other persons engaged in a friendly
game of cards, when suddenly he heard the
window glass breaking in the forward part
of the car, and almost instantly the car be
gan to fall. He was seated with his back
toward the front of the car, and as he went
down he sat us quietly as he could and held
on.
When the car struck the bottom of the
ravine he foutid himself almost unhurt, al
though one of the men who was playing
cards with him. whose name he did not
know, was killed, while another, a Mr.
Sheppard, of New York, had his leg brok
en. Mr. Carter says the front of the car
was much lower than the rear, and that
the flames in front began to eat their way
upward and spread with great rapidity.
He turned to assist Mr. Sheppard, and
with great difficulty succeeded in getting
him out. When Mr. Sheppard was fairly
out, Mr. Carter returned to the assistance
of a woman, who was calling for help at the
front end of the car. He got her out, and
as she was quite thinly clad gave her his
overcoat. After reaching a hotel he found
himself severely bruised in Beveral places.
In the great peril of the hour a man
rushed down to the scene of the disaster,
ready to help in rescuing. He saw a wo
man struggling for life and went to her as
sistance, He carried her by main force to
solid ice, and then, urged by the cries of
the mother, went back to rescue her daugh
ter, a child of three or four years. The
treacherous wood in splintering had caught
the child in its grasp and the fire completed
the horrible work. The man was compelled
to see the child enveloped in flames and to
hear her "Help me, mother," ringing out
in an agony of death. In a moment she
was lost, swept up by the fire, while the
mother, in helpless agony, fell to the earth
in a deadly swoon. There was on board a
family named Bennett, on its way from
New York State to Jefferson, Ashtabula
county. The father and mother got out of
the wreck, and the children were only
saved by being tossed from the arms of one
man to another over the pile of burning
wood. One of the four children was ser
iously injured and all were slightly scratch
ed, , This morning the mother gave birth
to a child, the event being hastened by the
excitement she had undergone.
A PARALLEL IIORtfOK.
The Angola disaster, which was of a
similar character to the above, took place
on the Lake Shore railroad on December
18, 1808. The train was behind time, and
flying along at lightning speed to recover
the lost time, jumped the track and was
dragged across tire' bridge. Just before
reaching the embankment on the other eide
it teii over with a crash, and was then
thrown dowu the ice-oovered slope a dis
tance of forty feet. The car was dashed
to pieces and burned and only three of Us I
occupants remained to tell the story of the
horrors of that wintry afternoon. One of
the other two passenger cars of the train
went down the ' oppostte side of the em
bankment, a distance of about twenty-five
feet. It waa vrecked completely, and twice
caught fire, but the flames were put out
both times by the passengers. The loss by
the Angola accident was twenty-six killed,
of whom twenty-three were so badly burned
that they could not be identified, and forty
six wounded. The injured were taken to
Buffalo and cared for.
LIVING IN ICE FOR A YEAR.
From the Neicark Advertiser.
Fish arc cold-blooded creatures, as every
one kuows, but the proprietor of the Fourteenth-Ward
House, on Murray street, has
a sample of the piscatorial tribe which for
coolness is equalled only ia scientific an
nals. He is of diminutive size, a minnow,
in fact, and was brought to the establish
ment embedded in a block of ice some two
inches below the surface. He had evident
ly been frozen in when the ice was formed
last winter, and has been living in a com
fortable, though iuactive existence ever
since. That he was alive, has been alive,
and is alive at present, is demonstrated by
the fact that when removed from bis icy
home yesterday morning and placed in wa
ter he paddled off comfortably and easily,
evidently enjoying release from his loug
imprisonment. The little fellow has been
living a life of suspended animation for
nearly a year at least, but though it has re
tarded his growth, he is evidently ia a
healthy condition.
The Mississippi Style.
The post-oflice at Grenada, Mississippi,
has been abolished by order of the post
master-general in consequence of the abusive
conduct displayed by the people of that
place toward Mrs. Price, the postmistress
A special agent appointed to look into the
affair reports that Mrs. Price is a cultured
and respectable lady, and has been subjected
to numerous insults because she is a Federal
officer and was the wife of a leading lie
publican. A day or two after the election
the leading Democrats of the place dressed
up a couple of drunken negroes in red
shirts and caps, mounted them on mules,
and led the mules into the post office. The
negroes sang for about an hour distrustins
songs, filled with all sorts of vulgarity and
obscenity. This is only one of the num
erous insult she has received. By the
abolition of the post office the people of
Urenada wnl have to go six miles for their
mail.
The Memphis Avalanche, an independ
