Cleveland express No. 23, on the Pitts burg & Lake Erie railroad, ran into a switch and jumped the track at Monaca, Heaver county, Monday afternoon. While but two persons were killed out rigLt the Pittsburg hospitals that even ing were well tilled with injured pas sengers. The Beaver County General hospital at Rochester, took its quota of wounded, while perhaps half a dozen others were taken on to Youngstown O , by friends. j While Simon Young, one of the best j known farmers of Centre township, was fixing a gate at a private crossing on his ! farm, at the junction of the Butler 1 Snnbury pike and the Bessemer railroad. ; Monday morning, a south bound ore 1 trair struck him and inflicted fatal I injuries. j The gate had been broken by Mr. Young's cattle on Sunday, it extended ' partly across the railroad track and he was mending it. Mr. Youn» was hard of hearing and did not see or notice the approaching train. He was far enough off the track to allow the engine to pass, but a corner of the first car struck him tack of the left ear, cutting off part of the ear and crushing his skull. He was picked up unconscious, brought to But ler on the 9:20 passenger train, which passed within a few minutes, and taken to the Hospital. He died Tuesday morning. He was 60 years of age, and is survived by bis wife, three sons and two daughters,all of whom are married. During the civil war he served in Maj. Anderson's company—Co.

Frazier, a son of Alex Frazier of Institute Hill, was so badly crushed by the fall of a heavy fly-wheel in the Evans Machine Shop, Tuesday evening, that he died shortly after being taken to his home. The wheel is about 7 feet in diameter and weighs about 141)0 pounds and had been cast and turned for the gas engine that is to furnish light at the park. The boys were rolling it out of the basement at the time when it toppled over and crushed young Frazier against an engine, though the two others tried hold it. Norris did not think he was bedly hurt at the time, but became weak and was taken home. His breast was caught lietween the wheel and the engine and his death was probably caused by his heart or a blood vessel being raptured. Funeral tomorrow at 2:80 P. M.
