oce. U was Commodore Gitkeson, late of
ttie United States navy, but now on the ra
t.red list. About twenty years ago, he sajs
he was an officer of the Vnited States Teasel
alert. One clear and calm afternoon,
hca about thirty miles oCf the coast of Pe
ru an enormous wave was seen bearing down
Cion the ship. The Wateree was brought
3out to meet the wave, rode upon its crest,
nd thiry minntes later was left high and
dry cjioa s mcontain three miles back from
the Peruvian coast and l,7u0 feet above the
level of the sea, having traveled at a rate of
over sixty mijea an hoar. The loss or life
fcy this tidal wave was frightful, one city
ioue of 3t.i.X inhabitants having been
overwhelmed. All the Tessela in the neigh
borhood of the Peruvian coast foundered
w:lh iheeiceplion of the Water, and while
tij "w was safe, the ship was s loss, as it
tad to be abandoned, there being no way of
getting it down from the mountain. Serer-

Two Men Meet Death while Return-
Ins from a Sunday Excursion.
James O. Kelly, a Johnstown policeman,
thirty -six years or age, and Lucas T. Meyers,
a boss stonemason in the employ of the
Pencsylvania Railroad coicpsny, frum La
trole, were killed and their bodies frightfully
mangled bv tbe wheels of an excursion train
three miles north of Rockwood on the
Somerset & Cambria Railroad about 9 o'clock
Sunday night.
Expressman Milton Pile, of this place, was
thrown I row tbe platform of a car into
ditch by the side of the track. He was
badly cut and bruised about the head and
shoulders, but was able to walk from tbe
station to his home on the arrival of the
train an boor later, but not without assist
ance.
At 8 o'clock Sunday morning 1,050 ex
cursionists were on board 14 psssenger cars
at Johnstown en route for Cumberland, Md.
The cars were made op into two sec
tions. Tbe first, drawn by two engines, con
sisted of thirteen cars. Tbe second section
consisted or an' engine and one passenger
car. A number or passengers were picked
op at every station between Johnstown and
Somerset. Two additional cars were at
tached to tbe second section at the Somerset
station and were soon filled with excursion
isu from this place. On the arrival of the
train at Rockwood two more coaches were
attached to the second section. Stops were
made at all stations between there and Cum
berland, and when the two trains arrived in
the Queen City at noon between eighteen and
nineteen hundred excursionists alighted
from tbe cars.
Tbe freedom of the city was granted the
excursionists by the authorities, and soon
after their arrival the great mass or visitors
separated into little parties and visited the
different places or interest. From all ac
counts the saloon keepers of the place kept
open bouse, and before the day was over
many of the excursionists became intoxi
cated.
The first section or the excursion left
Cumberland on the return trip at 6: JO p. m.
It was made up of thirteen coaches and was
drawn by three locomotives.
Shortly after tbe train left Rockwood
a disturbance was created in the second car
of the train by persons who had been drink
ing. Policeman Kelly, who is tiaid to have
been under the influence of liquor, drew his
revolver and brandished it in the faces of a
number of persons, and caused tbe greatest
excitement and terror among the passengers.
A quarrel was started near the rear door
of the car, between Kelly and another Johns
town man, when the conductor of the train.
John Ward, tried to quiet them. Meyers
was endeavoring to asvist the conductor to
get the quarreling men into diderent cars,
and succeeded in getting Kelly on to the
platform. Kelly insisted on going back into
the car, and in the scuffle that followed he
fell over the band-rail between the two cars.
Both Meyers and the conductor had hold of
him, the former by the arms and the latter
by the hip. Suddenly Kelly threw up Lis
right hand, with his revolver in it, when the
conductor, fearing that he would shoot him.
released his hold, and stepping into the car,
palled the bell ro. At the same moment
some one in the car pulled the rope govern
ing the automatic air brake. The rear end
or the train stopped with a jar that threw
many passengers from their seats. The
coupling broke between the cars where the
struggle was taking place, and as the engines
and two cars dashed abend, Kelly was
thrown under the wheels, and Meyers was
dragged down with him.
Milton Pile, who was standing in the door
of the car, was caught by Meyers ashaleil,
and was thrown headlong intoa ditch by the
side of the track. The greatest excitement
prevailed on the train. No one knew just
what had occurred, and nearly all the pass
engers climbed off the cars. Groans were
beard proceeding from the ditch, and the
conductor and brakeman soon found, with
the light or their lanterns, that they were
caused by Milton Pile. He was gathered up
and carried into the car, his head a mass of
bruises, and his right leg badly sprained. A
flagman was sent to the rear to signal the
second section, and the examination was
continued.
Under the trucks of the fourth car Police
man Kelly was found. His scalp was torn
from his bead, and the head it-elf was al
most entirely severed from his body, the
wheels of the tracks having passed over his
neck. His left arm was torn almost off, and
one leg was broken. So firmly was he held
between tbe wheels that it required the uni
ted strength of hair a dozen men to release
him. Hair way back nnder the car Meyers'
body was found. His head, too, was almost
severed from his body, as was his left inn,
while bis right leg was broken below the
knee. Death was instantaneous in both
cases.
The body ot Kelly was recognized by a
number or his friends, and Meyers' brother,
who had been with him all day, identified
him.
it was at least twenty minutes before the
engine and released cars returned to tbe de
tached section.
The bodies were placed in the baggage car
and brought to Somerset where they were
removed to the railway station house and a
watch placed over them for the night.
Monday morning friends of both the dead
men who had been with them on the excur-
sian came to Somerset for the purpose of
taking possession or tbe remains. The
bodies were placed in boxes by undertaker
Coffroth and were shipped to their homo on
the noon train.
Meyers' brother, a stalwart looking young
fellow, was here Monday morning to look
after his brother's body. He was almost
heartbroken and elicited the sympathies of
all wbo witnessed his distress.
Meyers was a single man. Policeman
Kelly's wife and two or three children were
lost in the tkod. Itoth men were highly
spoken of by their friends, and both were

Monday morning Esquire Noah CaseWr
empaneled a jury to hold an inquest on the
bodies or Ihe dead men. Toe jury was com
posed of the following residents or ths
borough: Edward Rboads, Harvey M.
Berkey, Esq., Jacob D. Swank, George M.
Neff. Wm. B. Frease, and Samuel Shirer.
Cbilda Hill, of .Johnstown, was the first
itneas called. He testified that the two
Meyers boys, K. P. Gibson and himseif had
been together on the excursion train. They
all got into a car in the yard at Cumberland
and bad secared seats before the crowd was
admitted to the train. "Before we came to
Rockwood Kelly with whom I was acquaint
ed came through tbe car and sat for abjut
twenty minutes on tbe arm of my seat talk
ing to me. He took one drink with us. He
said he was going to walk through tbe train
and left as. After tbe train left Rockwood
Meyer got up and said he was going to
walk through the train. I didn't see either
of tbem again nntil after tbey had been kill
ed. Meyers came to Johnstown for the pur
pose of going on the Cumberland excursion
and be was not acquainted with Kelly."
James P. Barnes testified : I went on the
excursion with Kelly. He boarded with
me in Johnstown, where I keep a hotel and
saloon. We got into the train in the yard
at Cumberland and secured seats, in the
fifth car or tbe first section. After awhile
Kalley, got op andasked me to bold bis
seat for him nntil he came back. He stay
ed away a good while and I gave tbe seat to
another man until Kelly should come to
claim it, I did not sea Kelly again until
after the accident. He had been drinking,
but I would not say thaT.he was drunk.
Nearly every body was moving up and down
tbe train. The aisles were full or people."
R. S. Gibson told the same story as the
preceding witnesses.
Dr. H. 8. Kim niell described the nature of
the wounds to the jury.
H.G. Cunningham, of Somerset, wbo was
an eye-witness to tbe accident, and was
somewhat injured hiuistdf, testified as fol
lows : "With a cumber of others I got off the
train at Rockwood to get a sandwich : when
we went back to tbe train we got on the first
ear next to the engine ; Kelly was standing
on the plationn, and demanded our tickets ;
I pushed past him into the car ; be had a
revolvei in Lis hind a big English bull
dog ; be walked through the car with the
revolver in Lis band, and I wss expecting
every minute to see him shoot some one ;
the cars were crowded, but there was safli
cient room for every one inside tbe cars ;
when near the rear end of the second car
Kelly got into a fight with some other man,
and the conductor came in and parted tbem ;
the conductor and Kelly had hold of one
another, and were being pushed forward to
the third car. Kelly fell between the second
and thin cars ; two or three parties bad
bold of him when tfee train parted, and be
and one of the men wbo bad bold of him,
fell on the track ; I caught hold of Milt Pile
just as he wss falling and held hiiu for a sec
ond or two, when my hold on him broke ; I
jumped off, struck on a stone pile, and brais
ed both my legs pretty badly ; one car and
tbe front trucks of the second car passed
over the men before the train stopped ; the
accident would never have happened bad it
not beenr.'r Kelly ; he behaved Urribly and
was either drunk or crazy."
John Ward, who was conductor of the
train, said : While I was getting my orders
at Rockwood the brakeman told me that
Kelly was going through tbe cars with a re
volver in bis hand, terrorizing the passen
gers ; when I got on tbe train Kelly and an
other man from Johnstowa were clinched
near the rear end of the second car ; I tried
to part them ; Kelly caught bold of me ; tbe
crow I pushed as toward the door ; I tried to
gvt him in tbe next car ; be bad a revolver
in his hand ; his bold on my coat broke and
be fell down between the two cars ; two men
had hold of his arms ; I caught him at the
hip ; the crowd pushed out on tbe platform
and my hold broke and I reached np and
pulled the whistle cord ; he bad his hand in
which he bad the revolver raised, and I
think he intended to shoot me ; just as I
pulled the whistle cord some one pulled the
automatic brake cord and the train
stopped suddenly, breaking llhe coupling
between the second and third car. We ran
about two car lengths before we stopped.
Both men were found under the rear trucks
of the fourth car. There were three engines
at the front of the train and when the auto
matic brakes were applied they palled tbe
train apart. We were running at a rate of
from twenty-rive to thirty miles an hour.
The train consisted of thirteen coaches, on
which were from 1,0.0 to 1,200 passengers.

An inquisition indented and taken in the
borough of Somerset, in the said county of
Somerset, on the 27th day of July, A. D.,
1$IU, before me, Noah Casebeer, Justice of
the Peace in and for said county or Somerset,
to inquire npon the part or the Common
wealth when, where, bow and after what
manner the said James O. Kelly and LncasT.
Meyers came to their deaths, do say npon their
affirmations, it so happened that James O.
Kelly, late of Johnstown, Pa., and Lucas T.
Meyers, late of Latro'oe, Pa., at or about tbe
hour of 9 o'clock p. ra., of the 20th day of
July, A. D., lS.tl, accidentally, casually and
unfortunately where engaged in a struggle
uion the platform of a car, constituting
a part of a certain extra train running
from Rockwood to Johnstown, Penna.,
on the S. 1 C. L R., containing 13 crowded
pa.-senger cars, drawn by three engines.
while running at the rate or 20 to 25 miles
per hoTir, at a point on the said railroad
about one mite south of Shamrock station,
were suddenly and violently dropped from
the said platform to the roadbed by the
breaking of the couplings between the sec
ond and third cars or the train : that the
said James O. Kelly and Lucas T. Meyers
were then and there killed by tbe tracks or
the third and fourth cars parting over their
bodies, indicting certain mortal wounds.
causing instant death ; that tbe parting or
said train was produced by some cause un
known, or by some person or persons to
your jurors unknown either accidentally or
maliciously pulliog the air-brake cord, thus
instantly locking tbe wheels or all the cars
and a!so the wheels or the engine next tbe
cars, while the other two engines rushed on
at their regular speed. Your jurors do fur
ther believe that tbe said James O. Kelly
wss in an intoxicated condition, and that
by standing on tbe platform and demanding
tickets of tbe passengers at Rockwood sta
tion, by brandi-hing a revolver in the
races or passengers, and by threats or
shooting and actual violence he made
himself so obnoxious and dangerous
to passengers, as to compel passengers
and tbe conductor at tbe request of
passengers for their own security to remove
him from the car or to disarm and quiet
him ; that in the disturbance ensuing the
ssid James O. Kelly was separated from one
Wardaley in tbe second car and was by tbe
conductor or tbe said train removed or
pushed from the interior of the second car
to the platform thereof, where he, Kelly,
made a stand and resisted further removal
toward the third car; that there a certain
person, afterwards ascertained to be the
said Lucas T. Meyers, to the witnesses on-
known at the time, caught bold of the said
Kelly as if for the purpose of disarming h im
or assisting in his removal when botn per
sons in grappling and swinging between the
guard rails of the two cars and while in this
position, (whether by reason or the con
ductor pulling the whistle rope and the en
gines not working in anision then, or by
someone pulling the air brake cord then who
is to the jurors unknown), the train sepa
rated and the two contestants were
precipitated to . the track where their
left arms were broken near their shoulders,
their heads all but severed from their bodies,
and where they were otherwise horribly
ouoded and mangled.
In witness whereof, as well as tbe afore
said Justice of tbe Peace, as the jurors
aforesaid, have to this inquisition put tiieir
hand and seals, the 27th day of July, W'l-
The above finding was signed by all or
the jurors.

The Crops of the State.
HAsatsscao, July 24. From returns of
correspondents snd from other sources, Sec
retary Edge, of the State Bourd of Agricul
ture, has prepared tbe following crop fore
cast for l.vil :
Wheat. As indicated by our previous
ports, ibis crop Las proven to be one of ths
largest for a number of years. It may safely
be estimated at 22r.io.0"A bushels. As osaal
we bavt bad many extravsgaut estimates
and reported yields hut we feel safe, from
reports received, to place the total crop at the
above figures. Lancaster and Montgomery
counties have reported crops of over 40 bush
els per sere, but these cannot be accepted as
an average for the counties. Tbe average
yield of the Slate is much reduced by the
northern tier of counties, in which wheat ia
not macb depended on for a crop. Tbe
grain Las usually been harvested in good
condition, but some losses have been report
ed from grain taken into the (barn
when too wet. These are, however, trivial,
and will not operate on or affect the general
average.
Oats. It fat rather too soon to make any
safe or conclusive predictions as to this crop,
snd It is not yet all harvested. It is, howev
er, safe, from data at hand, to; place it a
about an average crop. Wet weather during
spring delayed seeding and materially de
Creased ths yield. Cool weather daring the
early part ef tbe season delayed growth and
in many cases gave the weeds s start, and
grain suffered accordingly. Tbe Urge lot
of weeds which are to be found ia many
fields wil! probably cause mors of less best
ing in the mow, snd we may have to report
some loss from this cause. Repeated show
era during harvest have somewhet ruined
the straw in the eastern part or ths State,
but the grain, though in some places dark
ened, is all right.
Ha.t Our former predictions that the
hay crop for 1801 would be an average one
met with opposition from many of the far
mers or Southern and Southeastern Penn
sylvania, but we think that the harvest has
fully sustained our estimate. Those wbo de
pend on clover as a hay crop have of coarse
harvested short crops over nearly the whole
State. In such fields as gave timothy the
main place, the crop has varied somewhat,
and in the South and Southeast may be sta
ted as below ths average. Our Western snd
Northern counties made np the deficiency.
But it wss the crops of natural grass which
raised the general average of tbe State, and
warranted our prediction of a fair average
crop. In the norrhern counties of our Stats
tbe meadows snd fields of natural grass gave
an excellent crop.
Potatoes In common parlance this crop
has been a "spotted" one. In some portions
of tbe Stats, where rain and other conditions
of the weather were favorable, tbe early
crop did well, but in some parts of oar State
it proved short and unsatisfactory. The
crop of late tubers will prove an excellent
one, and at ths present time ths main danger
is from rot following warm rains, succeeded
by hot sunshine. Should ths crop escape
this danger, it will prove sn excellent one,
and the increase in acreage will place it
above tbe average, and possibly give us
11,000,000 bushels. Failures or this crop
elsewhere may keep tbe price np, snd excel
lent crops in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
snd Cspe Breton will set as a balance wheel
to regulate the price of tbe Pennsylvania
crop in tbe market. No report of rot Las
yet been received from our correspondents,
although the newspapers bave reported
some loss from this cause.
Laeoe FariTs The crop of large fruits
either actual or prospective, will be one of
the largest for a number or years. The
crop has proven somewhat irregular in
yield, but any falling off in one part or our
State bas been more than conterbalanced by
large ones in others. Peaches will give sn
excellent crop, snd the peach growers in tbe
South Mountain district and in the newly
planted orchards or Juniata county will
harvest a remunerative crop in spite of the
low prices expected from the crops in New
Jersey snd Deleware. Tbe local demand
will support the price for good fruit picked
in its best condition, and this cannot be sup
plied from the markets nsroed in the above
States. Local demand will support the local
supply, and our borne dealers will receive
remunerative prices, no matter what tbe
ruling price may be near railroad stations
snd other points easy of access to foreign
crops. Tbe apple crop will be a fair average
one, and fall apples will command a fair
price in tbe general market of our State.
U our growers could only be persuaded to
consult their own interests and coil closely,
tbey would not only get better prices for
their crops, but would also gain tbe calls left
st home. Pears will prove an unusual crop
and are aleeady coming into market in fair
condition. Thus far, as has been the case
heretofore, they are not culled close enough,
snd lower prices are and will be received.
'Small Fscrrs The 1301 crop of almost
all kinds of small fruits will prove a phe
nomenal one, and that of blackberries wiil
long be remembered by the Pennsylvania
housewife. Grapes will prove sn svtrage
crop, but it is to our other small fruits that
we look for tbe raise to the average.
Our Modern Fourth of July.
What constitutes our average celebration ?
Certainly not the reading or the Declaration
or Independence. What has become or tbe
old-time orations? the patriotic parades of
soldiers snd citizens? Yes, when .oar plum
ed knights, on their noble steeds, would pa
rade the pnncipal streets, following ths mu
sic or the fife snd dram. But in their place
we bave fire crackers to annoy nervoos wo
men, and frighten horses ; toy pistols, with
plenty or noise snd accidents, but very little
patriotism. Let us teach our boys mors
true patriotism, snd less fizzle. Yes, hsve
them taught to love end respect the old flag
with patriotic devotion, for I predict that
tbe youth of to-day wil bave an opportoo i
ty to defend their homes snd march to ths
music of tbe fife snd drum before the close
or tbe present century. It is a surprise to
me to see with what indifference oar Ameri
cans view the dangers fast approaching as.
Verily, we are snrroanded on all side by
the foe that is opposed to all public institu
tions.
You Somerset people retire to your peac e
ful homes st night feeling secure, as yoa
have one guardian of the peace, and no doubt
yoa are secure, as far as burglars are con
cerned. Yes, you hsve even conquered ths fire
fiend ; but there is s foe that will not only
destroy your homes, but oar lives, snd those
or oar families. Now, if I were a man, yoa
might think me s disappointed office seeker.
Alas, I am not s voter, and the q nation aris
es in my mind whether it would be advisa
ble, under present circa instances, for women
to bave tbe right of suffrage, in view of w bat
the country is threatened with. Now, do
not quarrel with your political neighbor wbo
does not quite see as yoa do. Is be not sn
American? And were it not for political
differences, this nation would soon become a
moaarcbial government. Let us strive to
keep it a Republic and a Christian nation.
