Dr. Benjamin Lee, Chairman of the State Board of Health, has just issued a circular letter to the State Board representative in all districts and to physicians everywhere, aslihig that thev report to the State Bortfd the relative results of the differ ent forms of vaccine, since physicians have preferences for certain forms. Dr. Lee said further in his letter that tbejßtate Board would endeavor to have stnalliiox patients compensated for the loss of personal property destroyed as a precaution by local health authorities, and this may have the effect of remov ing the hesitation among some officials about destroying household goods where the cases were of the extremely mild form. Everything will in- done to get rid of the existing epidemic, as soon as possible, regardless of everything but the possibility of a spread of tlie disease •in malignant form during the winter Music scholars wanted at 12S West Wayne St. THi: Ni:i:tK AT ICIM'IM.W. The new rails which the Pittsburg & Western Co. is putting on their road are two inches higher than the old ones, and very much heavier. By Saturday afternoon last the work men had replaced the old with the new rails from Butler to a point abont half a mile below Renfrew, where the road curves around the creek on an embank ment about fifteen feet above the level of the water: when they were driven from their work by the storui and heavy rain, leaving lower or inside rail partially K>osened but yet naving, as they thought—enough spikes to hold it in place. The New Cattle Accounnodati. n leaving Butler at 2 P. M. came along at that time; the higher or outer rail threw more weight thai: usual on the inner or inside rail and it gave way. The eu gine kept the track, the tender toppled over anil went into the creek, and tiie two coachts fell over and slid down to the bank of the creek, where they were held by the new 4-inch line of the I nit ed. The 3-inch line of the Producer"s which also runs along there was struck by the cars anil parted. It was full of oi!. bnt two employees of the t. ompany named Lewis and Breed, who were on the other side of the creek, saw tlie ac cident, and rushed across and turned the stop-cocks. The passengers and trainmen were thrown violently to the lower sideof the car, and were all more or less injured, but none were made unconscious and all were able to scramble over the seats anil :J»-t out the car dour- exc-pt ing Miss Knapp who had to l»e helped. wTlliam Sbira of Renfrew happened to be near, and is said to have rendered the mcst active assistance iu rescuing those who needed aid. Those worst injured were Miss Grace Phillips, of New Castle, a daughter of Thomas W. Phillips, and two jou'ig ladies of Washington. D. C.. who are vir-iting her Misses Tcml and Knapp. They were all cut and bruised, and Miss Knapp's back was sprained, which kept her in pain. Richard Dana, of New Castle, had his right knee-cap broken, and may have one stiff leg for life. P. W. Lowry, of Bntler, had his left leg cut by broken window glass and Miss Belle Lowry had herrightarm sprained. The New Castle people were brong.it to Bntler and taken to the Hospital. The Bntler people were taken to their homes and are all doing well. Quite a nnmber of Bntler people, aud all Itentrew watched the wrecking crew, Sunday, getting the cars up on the track. The trucks were pulled loose and dragged up the bank by a chain hitched to the engine, and the cars were pulled up the bank by a large rox>e, one end of which was tied to a tree, and the other to the engine the loop passing aronnd the car. Then the cars were raised by jacks and slid over on the trucks. They are both badly wrecked. Fourtli of July.
