poisoning is often a serious matter.

Sunbury's Blaze.
At ix o'clock on Thursday morn
ing a bad wreck occurred nt Sun
bury, through a collision of two sec
tions of a freight train, one of which
was partly made up of oil cars which
took tiro and burned fiercely through
out the day.
Seven oil cars, four refrigerator
ears, an engine and a box car were
reduced to allies, but nil the rest of
the train was hauled out of the way.
The fire alarm was responded to very
quickly nnd streams of water were
turned i, n the houses on Pine street.
Fred Merrill's dwelling caught lire
and the interior was ruined, lie
had no insurance and his loss will
reach .'.' i.
The win 1 v b'oA iug to the east
til id the se of t!:l!il" :Mld tlt"kc
swept oTi-r th metery. Many
tombstones were cracked by the
hent. After several hours of hard
work the tlames were controlled and
tho wreck crew began work. One
of the tanks fell ns it was being
lifted by I he big derrick and at once
busted into a sheet of tire. Track
men were put. to work at nine o'clock
ami built a track around the wreck.
The Sunbury Military Company
was called out iu order to nhoot
holes in the tanks of the oil cars,
ami tbe tirmen and train crews
worked heroically nearly all day.
The t)ss to the railroad company
will reach a hundred thousand dol
lars until everything is gotten in
shape U'fain. A prominent railroad
man b speaking of tho wreck said
to tk reporter of the Sunbury nil 1
.."Th n,?in wan .worth Jolly Jl
cost ll.VKH) each. The stock car
only amounted to i."iiM, The seven
oil cars held about ."it H K gallons eiii.U
and the oil was worth 100, while
the tanks were worth !: till lit each.
The burned track was worth about
SI'.'ihi and you see it runs up pretty
steep. Of course these figures are
onlyestiimit.es, but they are e'ese
ones and the actual loss without
counting the expense of repairing
will reiiih forty or fifty thousund
dollars. I have been iu mair- oil
tires and this is about as luck" 'ind
as hot none as I have been iu. The
firemen did good work ami the.'- are
as tine a volunteer dcpartn.'tsut, ns

worked hard and are excellent marks
men and fearless soldiers. Lt was
remarluible thnt no one was hurt
and taking every iu consideration it
whs n lucky wreck nnd a pretty one
too. Just look at that fir;. I tell
you it looks tine. It is a- uiagnili
ceut sight nnd recalls the oil fire at
Mahantongo last fall and the wreck
at Sclinsgrovo several years ago.
Twenty two tanks of oil went up iu
it."

scci at the time that it was imposs

lime been issued, even if every per

ever, lately has shown that out of
10,0(10 passes issued .'5000 hllVo gone

small number when it is considered
that there are JO.mio newspapers iu
