Tho train gave the sled a sudden
jerk throwing some out while otheis

themselves into greater p ril. The
engines with their puffs and snorts
had but passed and the long train
was yet to follow. Here lay the
wreckage, consisting of mangled.
bleeding bodies of life long friends
while the shrieks of women and the
cries of the most stout hearted men
wero drowuded by the thundering
noise of tho train. Tho lamentations
were heart-rending in tho extreme.
Of all tho torture, agony, misery,
anguish, distress and grief suffered
by this ill-fated party no human ton
gue can tell nor human heart con
oeivo. Darkness prevailed. No one

and fato with its uucliangeablecoursti
threatened death to all of them.
Tho engineers exerted every avuil
ablo means to check the speed of tho
train, but it ran more than its full
length beforo it could be stopped.
As soon as possible ono engine was
dispatched to this nlace and one to
Seliusgrove to summon medical aid.
Drs. Hussiuger and Mohu of this
place ami Drs. B. F. and F. J. Wag-
euseller of Seliusgrove were brought
to the sceue of the accident. Dur-
iug the interim the dead and injured
were carried into Mr. Gordon's house
which became a veritable hosnitublo.
The uninjured made every effort to
ave their .friends and to relieve
them from suffering.

killed was a christian youug man.

aged 62, was a frugal and an active
farmer. Ilia wife. Mrs. llomig is a
weak, nervous woman and it is still
feared that the news of the death of

At six o'clock il special train cur.

injured ones to Selinsgrove. On
Mail train east was carried A. W.
Potter, his daughter Annio and Miss
Burns. The town was thoroughly
aroused by this time and tho streets
wero crowded with curious people.
Tears were brought to the eyes of
the bravest men and sorrow
was depicted upon every counte
nance as the ambulances moved down
Market Street. Never was there a
sadder day in Seliusgrove and the

pieces of skull and brain were Beat

the snow was crimson with human

dricks remained on the sled whil
tho train passed and were not in
jured.
Dr Hartniau and others wen-
thrown quite a distance into the
air. It is thought that those who
sat on the left side of the sled after
rising to jump off. were throwu be
tween the sled and tho train. The
sled, being struck at th. front end,
was dragged about ten feet.
Prof. II. Lloyd Schroyer sat right
behind the drivers who were killed
and his escape without a scratch is
miraculous.
While the train was thundering
past, A. W. Smith and Ii. Llovd
Schroyer were tho only oj.'es on

Ou Tuesday the funeral day for
tho Ilomigs opened with a drowsily
falling sno Iu fact tho snow fell
so slowly and mournfully that it
seemed nature itself was weening
in unison with the sadness of tho
hour. The day became bright to
ward noon and peoplo from all oarts
of the County poured into Selins
grove. The Chief Burgess. (J. C.

in cousequeuce of the public calami
ty that Dad belallen the town, twn
citizens killed and many injured, all
stores should be closed from 12 M.
to 3 P. M. Ti e mandate struck a
popular choid and was universally
obeyed. Owing to the false alarm,
the Reformed Courch was consider
