we will; you come and see us." Com
pared with the ordinary party, with
food and trimmings,this is an enormous
saving in wear, tear and expense.
—There was nothing remarkable aboa t
the railroad accident of last Saturday.
The storm prevented the workmen

There was one thing, however, that
the passengers complained of, and that
was of the seats coming loose and tum
bling down upon them, nud it is a thing
that can easily be prevented.
There's going to lie a hot old time
in Butler on the 4th—if it don't rain.
There will be fire crackers, a big parade

bicycle race to Connoquenessing and

—According to a Pittsburg paper,
there have been from two hundred to
three hundred cases of smallpox in its
milder forms, in Allegheny county,
since January last, and all the Health
Officers are predicting an epidemic of
the genuine article in Western Pennsyl
vania for next winter. 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

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.
