FIVE KILLED IN WRECK The worst wreck that has occurred ion the I) L. & W. Railroad iu many I years took placo yesterday forenoon ' two miles west of Hunlock's Creek directly opposite Retreat. It was a head-on collision, between passenger train 704, which passes this city at 10 :1 !• n. m.and uu extra friight train draw n by enigtie No. 204. TIIE DEAD. Henry Greenwood, baggage master, Scrautou. Albert Stookey, tireuian, passenger train, Scranton Chailes Snyder, engineer freight train, Northumberland. Charles Graham, express messenger, Scranton. Firemau Ringsdorf, freight traiu. Twelve cr more were injured,among them being Mrs. Emenck, wife of the proprietor of tie Ten Cent Store, this city ; Dane Kingsbury, foreman on D. L. & W. improvements and known here, who had his leg crushed, skull fractured ami back hurt ; also Charles Krog, the well known con tractor of Berwick. Frank Poole en gineer of passenger train ot Scranton, was badly injured and at first reported dead. Arm torn off and lacerated scalp. Christian Beavers who according to | first reports vas fatally injured it was i learned later escaped with but slight i injuries. Tlie collision was one of the most < terriOc ever witnessed, a> the trains, which were proceeding in opposite directions were running not less than 30 miles an hour and crashed together so suddenly, so unexpectedly, that it drove terror into everv heart. The scenes after tlie accident can better le imagined than pictured, for all about were injured people, groan ing and crying out with pain, cars were driven one into the other and the engines were a mass of jumbled iron and wires. There were a number ot pasy*ngers uuinjured on the train, and they went to work at once, releasing the unfor tunate men from tlie wreckage. It was ! hard to get at some, as they were pen- I ned in on all sides by wire, iron and j wood. However, the best possible was j aoue under the conditions. The poo- i pie at Hunlock and at Shicbshinuy threw open their homes and the dead 1 and injured were taken there. The officials, as soon as notified, iu turn requested all the physicians at Nanticokc, Plymouth and Kingston to board the special traiu. which was made up in the Kingston yards and proceed at once to the scene. The offi cials also took the hospital car. Many of the injured were oared for in the latter. The doctors worked like trojans, bandaging injured and braised limbs lacerated parts and in one cas -an am putation had to be made Som > diffi culty was experienced in rescuing the unfortunate people from the wrecked cars, as at iutervals it looked as if the woodwork of the cars would be ignit ed by the burning coals in the de ftroyed ei)gin o °. The passengers, the farmers and the residents ot* Hunlo u.au ! Shickshiuny were tireless in their efforts to be of service. The first news of the accident reach ed ll.is ■ ity early after noon it spread like wildfire and the rumors wero numerous and varied. Same said there was as high as ten killed, others de clared that it was even more, but an investigation proves that five train hands met their death,and about nine passengers were more or less injured, but not fatally. Mrs A. M. Dkhl, of this city, and Jol n C. Havens, who is engaged in getting out a souvenir boak here,were al-o on the train but escaped iniury. According to the best information a train was made up in the Kingston yard and ordeied to proceed to North umberland. The officials allege that the crew was notified to w<ilt at West Nanticoke for the New Yoik flyer, to pass. They misunderstood the orders, or did net comprehend their import, for they passed the siding and even moved by Huulock's Creek at a rapid rate of speed. It was evident that the crew was trjiug to make the siding at Shicfe shinny, and labored under th opinh n that tho passenger train, which is a New York flyer would meet them there. The operator at Shickshinny says he did not receive any informa tion regarding the extra, and whi 1 e the bossis at Nanticoke saw it pass, yet paid no attention, beli ving it to be on'er orders and therefore had the right of the way. This fatal freight went on its way and on the sngle track, a Oioit dist ance below Huulock's (<ruek and op posite Retreat Hospital, w'lile round ing a curve with the canal on one side and the steep mountain'' on the other, the trains met in one of these death dealing crashes, which drives terror into every heart. When the cra-h occurred both en gines were raised slightly oil the rails as if one was trying to master tho ot'ier. There wa< a lull in tha move ment, but the freight was the heaviest and it pressed the passenger back through its tender luio the baggage car, dealing death and destruction in its w»v. (Continued on page 4 ) !GKO. MARSHALL'S TERRIBLE FLIGHT George Marshall, who resides on Railroad street,near tlie Borough line, late Saturday night was found lying Hose to the bi k s] ring near the D. L. & \V. station in a state of somi-cou sciousness, with his face covered with blood and suffering from the effects of other injuries of a serious nature. Most people believed that he was a victim of foul play until Sunday morning when his hat was found ly ing on tlie high P. & R. trestling im mediately above that spot, indicating that while attempting to cross be fell |to the ground,a distance of some thirty I feet. He was discovered about 10-30 o'clocl Saturday night. William Rit ter, Jr., Railroad street, while re ! turning home heard some one groan ing in the vicinity of tlie big spring. \ He informed his fattier of the fact and ( the latter started out to investigate. Arriving at the spring he found tlie ' man still groaning and not wholly J conscious Ho repaired to the house of Wesley DeSliay.D. L. & W. avenue, j and reported what had occurred. Mr. ; DeShay lighted a lantern and tlie two ; men returned to the spring. The in j jured man was unrecognizable owing ( to tlie blood which was clotted about his face and he could not tell any thing about himself. The news soon reached Eugene Moy er'e hotel, opposite the P. L. & W. station, ami several men at once went ! over to the spring to lend assistance. The injured man was carried over to the station and plated upon the bag- ] ! gage truck. Dr. Stock was called and pending his arrival the man was car- j riecl into the hotel and placed on a cot. He was conscious for a moment ; at a time. He recognized a couple of | persons, but instantly lapsed into in- j sensibility and no satisfactory answer j could b° obtained to the questions, j Desjiite the most diligent search bis ' hat could not be found anywhere near [ the spring, which was regarded as a singular circumstance. At the physician's advice about mid- | night the man was removed to his j home His injuries were found to con- ! sist ot a broken pelvis, a badly sprain ed wrist, besides several cuts about the face. Dr. Stock said Sunday that the injury to the pelvis is quite j strious.not due so much to the broken bone alone as to the complications that might ensue. The injured mau is a puddler em ployed at the Structural Tubing plant. Ho is thirty odd years of age and lias a wife and two children. Wesley DeShay had a theory tliat the man sustained his injury by fall ing from the high P. & R. tre-tllll k which crosses the D. L. & W. railroad at the spring. To satisfy himself af ter daylight Sunday morning he climbed the trestling and there .sure enough he found the missing hat, which lay on the platform beside the track forming tho roof of the coal bins. The hat lay on a spot immedi ately above where the man was found, which settles the question as to how the injuries were sustained. Under the most favorable circumstances the man will be confined to his home for many weeks. Guardsmen Earn riedals. The season for qualifying with rifle and revolver tor the National Guard of Pennsylvania closed on October 31st. Connected with the showing made by Company F are some interesting facts relating to long-term record", med »ls. etc. The local company held up the stand ard of former years qoaiifying sixty men as follows: One sharpshooter, twenty marksmen, fifteen first class men twenty-four second class men. Owing to failure of six men to quali fy for various reasons ttie company's figuie of merit will be f>7.B per cent. Hie total score must be divided by the whole number, <'>(>, and not by <SO. the actual number qualifying. Thus it will be seeu to wiiat extent the show ing might have been improved had all qualified. The officers are required to qualify with revolver as well as witn rifle. Company F this year is fortunate in having two men entitled to the ten yt ar gold medal. In order to win this medal a man must have shot ten con secutive years. The two members of the company who have complied and have won the ten-year medal are lartermasler Servant George R. Gross and Private William 11. Frv. Lieutenant Frank Keefer has this year earned a fourteen-year pennant that carries with it a distinction of having shot fourtem consecutive years. Besides this year's winners | there are only two members of the ! company who have won ten years' ! medals -Captain J. Beaver Gearhart and Sergeant William R. Watts. Captain Gearhart was the first to s nd in complete returns for his com pany to Captain Godcharlos,lnspector of Rifle Practice for the T«v. Ifth Regi ment Basket Ball rianagements.

Mr. Brinkeihoff is a member of a class of 22 men who recently under went a course of instruction on San Jose Scale at State College. The State has been divided into districts, each of the men in the class being given oue of these districts.

After the demonstration in the Grauri Jury room, Mr. Rrinker hoff will hold demonstrations m the orchards of any persons whoso desire Mr. BrinkerhotT is thoroughly ac quainted with ttie -übject of San Jose scale, and talked v rv interestingly about it yesterday. He said that the scale was brought to this country on some Japanese plums about tw<lve years ago.atid gained its first foot hold in California. From thence it came to New Jersey and siuce then it has sprea I throughout Pennsylvauia. The soutl eru portions of the State | are infested with it the worst, the quantity of the SCMI-J growing l-'ss to ward the north. The scale, however, is spreading lapidiy, and millions of j dollars worth of fruit, fruit trees, or- i uameutal trees a;id shurbbery have j been destroyed in Pennsylvania dur- j ing recent years. The pest is so in- J conspicuous that it lias destroyed j many orchards without owners know- j ing the cause of the trouble.

ESTABLISHED IX 185.". jCHMSTUN 1.01:11 IIAIH.I INJlKtll As the result of a very painful iu i jury caused by a red hot bar of iron ploughing through the fles'i at the J calf of his leg Christian Loeli, bot-s | roller at the Structural Tubiug Work.- lies bedfast at his home on Church street. Tlie accident is a very bad one, as aside from the laceration tho action of the hot non on the wound is such as to seriously delay healing. The fl-tsh including the muscles W3s sever ed into the region of the bone, al though the doctors believe that the bone itself is not injured. Mr. Loeh was seen by a representa tive of the Morning News Saturday evening and ho told how it happened. It was an accieleut for which he pure ly was responsible alone. Prepara tions were being made Saturday morn ing, he said, for changing rolls aud a uew roll had just been brought down to tlie spot. Mr. Loeh wa* busy with this roll and iu giving some directions took a couple of steps backward in front of a red-hot bar of iron, which at that moment shot through the rolls. It struck his left leg at the fleshy part below the knee laying the flesh open iu to the bone. Some idea of the terri ble injury may be formed wlieu it is explained that the hot bar, which was one of four inches by three-sixteenths of au injh, upon coming in contact with Mr. Lr.eh's leg was bent upwards by the torce of the blow. The injured man reeled over to a bench aud proceeded to examine his leg,the sickening flow of blood at once indicating the extent of the injury. Mr. Loeh was i by his fellow workmen ovsr to the millwright's quarters, where at his own direction his liinb Wi»s tightly bandaged to stop the flow of bl)od. In a short time Dr. Curry repsouded to a hurry call and after temporarily dressing tho wound, diove Mr. Loeh to his houin om Church street, win re later Dr. 11. S. Button was called to assist. The wound was stitched a;-> well as it could be under the circum stances and Saturday night aud yester day the man was resting fairly well. No serious complications are looked for but just what the full effects of tho injury may be it is a little too early to prelict. Mr. Loeh has been au iron worker tor years; nine years of this time he was employed in Ger many. In this long period he has sus tained many injuries as are attested by the numerous scars that may be seen on his stalwart frame. He ac knowledges, however, that the present injury, is the worst that he ever sus tained. ACROSS THE RIVER. GEARHART TOWNSHIP. STATE TREASURER. .T. Lee Plummer, R 18 Win. H.
