Tho traht left White Haven on tlmo and was In chargo of Condoctor Joseph Hollar and En gineer William Doudt, popularly known as Peflcr." When rounding tho curvo a'nuar- ter of a mile cast of Pond Creek Junction, al which is very sharp nt this point, tho engineer observed three cows on tho track about fifty yards ahead of him. The 'train was running at a good rato of speed end as soon (13 tho engineer caught sight of tho cows 'J10 reversed the lever, in tho hope, no doubt, of bringing the train to a standstill, hut it was too late. Two of tho cows escaped, but tho third was struck witli full forco and tho animal raised as high as tho stack, after. wards dropping in front of tho engine. Tho moment tho locomotive struck tho cow it left tho track, dragging tho passenger coaches with it. The engine, after leaving thotrack. toppled over on its side, tho tender reversing itself and preventing tho first car from .roll ing down tho embankment, which at this point is about 75 feet deep. Tho engineer, when ho realized his doom, attempted to escaped hy jumping, and no doubt would havo been successful but fur .the cab striking him and hurling him into .tho hush, whero he was picked up some time later on. When found ho was still alive, but ho had sustained a serious cut in tho abdomen and was bleeding profusely. Ho was picked up and carried to tho relief train, which had arrived from Frceland, but died shortly after being placed iu tho car. Harney Moonoy, tho fireman, had a miraculous cscapo, ouo of his legs was badly scalded from tho escaping steam and his hands and his faco badly bruised. But his bravery novcr for a moment deserted him, and as soon as ho ex tricatcd himself ho rendered all the assistance possible- iu freeing tho passengers who were imprisoned iu the coaches. It is estimated that there were at least fifty passengers on tho train and all were moro or less injured. Among thoso who escaped with slight bruises wcro City Solicitor Thomas McNair, of llazleton, and Joseph Stone, real estato agent for tho Lchig Valley Company. Tho injured aro : Samuel Galowski, 05 7th street, Jsew lork, chest aud legs; C. W. Key- Holds, llazleton, right leg bruised ; Mrs. It. I..

It is considered remarkable that tho lattpr was not killed, Nono woro seriously injured. Mr. Schmidt received painful bruises on tho right and left legs. ' Mrs. Schmidt sustained bruises on tho chest and ucrosstho kidneys. Milllo received a cut 011 ouo of her shoulders. Tho others escnptd Injury, hut for somo time suffered from tho effects of tho shaking up thoy re ceived. Mrs. Schmidt suffered tho most and still complains, hut is not required to remain iu bed. "It was tho first railway accldont I havo ovor been iu," said Mr. Schmidt to a Hkiuiii rcportor last night, "and I hopo It will bo tho last. It was 35 minutes after two o'clock when wo passed over a short curvo east of Pond ( reek Junction. Tho train was going at full speed. The engine jumped tho track and over tho embankment, pulling the wholo train of threo ours along. Tho engine plunged first, the tender fell on top or it aud tho first -car fell sideways on top of the tender, ami rested 011 it in such u posi tion that a triangular spaco was left between tho car and tho bottom of tho embankment r.nd most of tho passengers wcro dumped through tho windows of tho first car into this sraco and escaped better than the pas sengers in tho other cars. 1 ho two rear cars jumped over tho embankment and went further down than tho 0110 wo wcro In did, and for that reason thu passengers In them suffered moro "I don't know just how tho thing started. I was sitting on tho right sido of tho car with tho baby on my arm. The car tumbled on tho right Bido when it went over. I saw tho engine jump and tho car bounded after it aud began to jar and swing terrifically. Millie, my daughter, was being thrown from ouo sido of tho scats to tho other and Mrs. Schmidt cried, 'For flod'B sako tako hold of the child ; sho will go out of tho windowl" At that moment tho car lurched over tho embankment and I fell on tup of tho baby. It cried as If badly Injured. Tho car rested and the first I heard was Olllo saying, "Let's get out of here, papa." Tho remark sounded so funny under tho circumstances that both my wife and mysolf momentarily forgot oursituation aud laughed. Mrs, Schmidt, Millie and Ollio wcro in aheap on tOp of me. I called out for Harry aud ho crawled from under a seat towards us. boo ing that all wero safe I mado arrangements to get out of tho car. I gavo the baby to Mrs., Schmidt and gut down through a window into tho triangular spaco. Mrs. Schmidt then handed mo tho liaby and helped llio other children through tho window, after which sho crawled out of tho car and joined us. When wo got out wo saw tho engineer lying right beforo us and about ten feet away from tho eugiuo. I took my wife and children up on tho mountain above the embankment and then returned with brandy and medicine which I always carry for emergencies when travelling, and com monced to help tho injured. I also helped to carry tho engineer from tho wreck. A door unhooked from a car and somo cushions were converted into a couch for him. I left llazleton witli my family on tho 5:5S train.

Since the Regular Convention of the Party Has Deserted Time Honored Principles" the Illinois Men Declare in Favor of a New Presidential Ticket. Chicago, July 1 1. Tho executive com mittee of tho standard Democrats of Illi nois met In a protracted session yesterday and prepared mi nddrosq to tho Democracy ol tho states In tho Union. It was tho unnnlmoim opinion of tho committee- that a second Democratic national convention should Ira called to noinlimto candidates for prcsldont and vice president. Tho nd dross is ns follows: "A national convcntton.convcned under tho constituted nuthorityof our party, has Just closed its session in tho city of Chi cago. It entered uikhi its work by violat ing all tho party precedents in tho rejec tion of a distinguished Democrat ns its temporary presiding oilicor. It deprived n sovereign stnto of n voice In Its ilclilwra tions by unseating without citiso or legal justification delegates elected with nil tho regularity known to party organization. "It refused to Indorse tho honesty nnd fidelity of tho present Democratic national administration. "It adopted n platform which favors tho frco nnd unlimited coinage of silver by this country nlono nt tho ratio of 1(1 to 1, nnd thereby it repudiated n tlmo honored Domocratlo principle, which demands tho strictest maintenance of n sound nnd stablo curroncy. "Finally, to make It still plainer, that although In nanio, It was not In fact Domocratlo convention, it nominated for president one who is not in his politics, and has not always lwen oven In profes sions, n Democrat. "This has mado suchncrlsls.lioth fortho nation and tho Democratic party, that sound money Democcmts must nt oncode cldo what political notion thoy will tako for tho protection of the honor of tho nation , tho prosperity of tho pooplo and tho life and usefulness of tho party. Tho sound monoy Democrats of Illinois havo fully mado up their minds that a now Demo cratic national convention should bo called for tho earliest feusiblo day to nominate Democratic candidates for president and vico president, and to adopt a platform of Democratic principles, nnd they desire to statu to tho Democrats of tho other state s their reasons, as follows : "Sound monoy Democrats owo It to tho country to muko it certain at onco that their revolt against free silver is deter mined and will bo organlrod. It is unfair to oblige tho credit of tho nation nnd the business and industrial interests of the people to merely guess what tho sound monoy Democrats will do In Novombcr and wait until November to llnd out. "Tho nomination of a new ticket Is tho logical course. Without it and a sound monoy Democratic campaign tho wholo educational forco of sound money Demo cratic sentiment would bo paralyzed from tho beginning. Republicans cannot nrguo tho sound monoy question to Democratic voters. Republican sincorlty.on that ques tion Is doubted by tho mass of Democrats. Tho tariff question will bo put to tho front nnd insisted upon by Republican speakers and tho Republican press, as it has persis tently been by Mr. McKlnloy himself. Democrats will not listen to lossons on finance when accompanied by almso of tho Democratic party. Tho most effective forco at this time for a campaign Is tho forco resting in tho sound money Democrats, for thoy aro profoundly In carnost and can get a hearing from Democrats that tho Republicans cannot possibly get. "A new convention would also preserve for tho futuro tho opportunities of tho Domocratlo party. Unless a clear cut separation Is mado between tho genuine Democrats and Democrats who are drift ing intoPopulism.or are already In Popu lism, and unless a clour cut separation is supported by organization the pwrty lias no chnnco of regaining public confidence for years to como. Tho sound monoy Democrats in tho different states must cither make it cloar that thoy havo no as sociation with tho Iiryuii party, or thoy must accept association and entanglement with It, and all stato organizations will In tho public mind bo for It that do not make it absolutely cloar that thoy are aguinst It. "The sound money Democrats are al ready sufficiently organized in this statu to be nblo to meet their fellow Democrats in a now convention, and aro anxious to confer with the representatives of other states whenovor a representative confer ence can bo brought about." Tho address is signed by Charles II. Kw Ing, Palmer House, Chicago, John M. Palmer, Jitiuos Eckels, Franklin Muo Vough, Hon T.
