A BIG ERIE RAILROAD WRECK.
Two Killed and More Than Twenty
Injured .-A Land Slid the
Can of the Accident.
A disastrous wreck oeoured on tlie
Erie about one And a half miles east
of Lackawaxen last Saturday night
at a little after eleven o'clock. On
both sides of tli'e track at that point
are high embankment, and just be
fore a frieght train, coming EiiHt,
reached the spot, a quantity of enrth,
gravel and stone, loosened by the
heavy I'nin then falling, slid down
on the track, and the engine, draw,
ing sixty loaded curs, ran into the
obstruction The engine was thrown
from the track and ran diagonally
across on the westbound track al
most to the embarkment on the low
er or river side. The engineer,
Benjamin Shay, was hurled from
his place down the bank nearly to
the river and was badly injured his
pelvis and collar bone being broken.
His fireman Lawrence Powers jump
ed and was only slightly hurt. Some
fifteen freight cars loaded with
various kind of merchandise were
wrecked and eleven of them burned.
Only a few minutes after, and before
any warning could be given, fast
express No. 7 .consisting of seven
oars in the following order, baggage
car, cafe car, the Pullman Sleeper
Kalmia with fifteen passengers, an
other Pullman, the Stanton with
twelve passengers, two day coaches
and a Pullman car Caledonia rush
ing westward at the rate of fifty
miles an hour encountered the
wreck. The engine, driven by
Stephen Outwater, of Port Jervis,
with Frank Sells of the same place
as fireman, raised iu the air mount
ed the freight engine and then went
down into the ground near the edge
of the bank with its driving wheels
suspended in the air. Both the en
gineer and fireman were probably
instantly killed, as their bodies were
found latter lying under the boiler
on either side of the wrecked engine.
The baggage, cafe car and two
sleepers wer demolished, and took
fire, it is assumed from the gas
which was stored beneath them, and
burned. The passengers in the
sleepers had retired and were prob
ably most of them asleep. The Kal
mia wag split open from end to end
and its occupants thrown down the
embankment, from the debris, they
crawled up the bank the only one
seriously enjured being George E.
Belz, of Cleveland, Ohio. Those oc
cupying the second sleeper, which
left the track, but was not overturn
ed or wrecked, escaped through the
windows and doors in their night
robes. The three uninjured cars were
pushed back by the trainmen and
passengers, and beyond the for
ward end of one being slightly
burned, were not injured. The train
contained seventy-five passengers,
and all but five, who are thought to
have walked to Lackawaxen, were
taken back to Port Jervis, and the
injured some twenty iu number
were conveyed to the hospital. It
seems almost a miracle that no more
were killed or seriously injured, but
the terrible experience to those who
IMissed through the horrors of the
situation will not soon lade from
their recollections.
The loss in property to the Erie is
very great, and the wreck is prob
ably one of the most costly the com
pany has suffered in many years
From all the circumstances it seems
that no provision could have avoid
ed the accident. Train 7 was sever
al minutes late on account of the
storm. Had it been on time, it
would probably have passed the
point before the slide occurred, as a
track walker had phased there only
a few momenta previously and
found no obstruction. .

A beautiful night blooming cere us
plant on the porch of the Centre

from sight. The plant bears numer
ous buds which iu a few days wi'.l

It is well to have a supply of
snake antidote in the house, and al
so in other emergencies, it is often
a convenient remedy. Somo add to

of "speerits," and it is always safe
to have some pure liquors at hand
There are other occasions on which
some people use them. If you have
occasion to supply yourself with
anything in that line note the ad
vertisement of A. Kirkman, of P. J.
Several fire hydrants in town are
more or loss out of order, and it
might be a good plan for the Coun

cranes, conveniently located, with
which to fill the sprinkler, This

be a more desirable method than
that now employed, in that it would
enable the person using the cart to
be more expeditious, besides reliev
ing the mud now made on some
corners by reason of leakage.

Many bicycle tourists pass through
Milford every day en route to the

The recent rains have hardened the
road beds so solidly that a wheel
moves along with little or no exer.
tion on the part of the rider. A
rider remarked Monday he had not
come in contact with as fine a
stretch of road as that from Port
Jervis to Milford sinoe leaving New
York city. Some of the country be
had covered was so stony and bad
that his tire was literally cut to
pieces.
AN OPEN LETTER.
To Pikk County Voters:
The Republican Primary Election
occurs to-morrow, Aug. " WJi, from
3 to 8 p. m., and it is or greatest
importance that every Republican,
holding the right of suffrage, exer
cises his privilege. It is a high duty
to vote for the person best qualified
to fill the office ; not to vote for a
candidate, as a friend, a neighbor
or a good fellow or because of a
supposed or real obligation to him,
or for favors shown or promises of i
such in future. That is not the real
purpose of a proper ballot. By your
vote you signify your willingness to
entrust a man with your private af
fairs, iu fact your pocket book. The
county work is your work, done
through your agents. For every
dollar of tax you pay it is your duty
to see that the office holder utilizes
his best efforts to see that you re
ceive a dollar in service rendered.
Would you retain in service a
man to whom yon paid a dollar a
day if he gave you only 75 cents of
work in return? Ask yourself, hns
he done his work the best he can,
not lor the advancemeiof r.ny
mem her of his political party or in
the interests of his own election,
but for the best interests of the tax
payers generally. There hns been
a deal of "mud slinging" in the
present campaign but it 1ms Had
little effect on the general public.
A personal grievance does not inter
est the people as a whole. It may
benefit the aspirant to use his sur
plus enorgv m abusing his oppon
ent but it does not prove t his own
ability or discretion.
A man who has no higher aspira
tion than to obtain an office for the
sake of the gain there is in it, when
he can control the time spent, and
therefore his compensation, and
whose only wish is to make out of it
his living, and who has no other
occupation, has aspirations which
should be repugnant to the people
because they are opposed to their
best interests. Would you build a
ton rail fence if seven would serve
the same pnrpose T lijw many
county officials have we had who
would not take, say 125 days at so
much per diem rather than crowd
the work into 70 days if possible
My contention is that our officials
on a per diem compensation should
have some other occupation than
the office, unless the work demands
their time. They must live, board,
clothe and maintain their families
and support whatever extr.iva
gances they may be addicted to,
and if they have no other means,
who but the taxpayors must foot
the bills?
The several candidates by vigor
ous canvassing have probably made
themselves known to 75 out. of
every 100 voter. Some by a per
sonal canvass and others by writ
ing. The former class has probably
spent nn expensive month in the
business. Horse hire, time, board,
lodging and incidentals which must
be in noma way regained. How
Each taxyayer must contribute to

1200, he must put in the days to get

ed. He must first even up with the
game by making extrt time, wheth

expense, and if elected he does not

zens largely in his debt for
electing him. He has no great
expense account which must be
balanced to make his start even.
If he has a business of his own, if
elected, he cannot afford to spend
more time than is actually necessary
iu the publio service, and would
economize time, your time, as if it
were his own. Which of the two
classes will you by your vote to
morrow choose to vote? J. am airing

A FINE SENSE OF HONOR.
Editor Press :
Notwithstanding the fact that the
County Chairman refused" to inform
liersons interested as to what names
of candidates would appear on the
Republican ticket, and also refused
to allow them to have copies of the
same in advance of the primaries,
and stated, as we are informed, that
no candidates woald be allowed to
have any tickets in advance, the
fact Is that on Wednesday tickets
were in the hands of some of his
supposed, and some of his real
friends. In short, those whom he
favored were given the advuntage
of having the tickets in advance,
while those he opposed were kept in
ignorance so far as lay in his pow
er, of the contents of the ticket, and
deprived of the advantage of having
them that they might instruct
their friends how to vote.
This gentleman holds a federal
ollioe in this town, the best one in
the county, is Chairman of the
County Committee, and ns such
should treat all candidates fairly,
and so far as in his official ixisition
lies, give each one an equal chance.
Is our county committee simply a
machine to further the political in
terests of one set of men, and to
thwart the desires of all others who
may not be in their graces or who
will not bow the knee to their man-
lutes? We do not believe that fair
minded Republicans, even of their
own faction, will endorse or ap
prove of such methods. No one is
sure of the favor of such men, and
no matter how speoious their prom
ises or loud their protestations of
friendship, if one dares but to ex
press an individual opinion he comes
under the ban of disapproval and
the same tactics which have been
used to gain Ins support will be as
relentlessly used to crush him
Fair play is a jewel and we await
the verdict of the people on the
duplicity and decoi t of the men who
now constitute the couuty commit
tee, if their chairman is by his acts
representing their wishes, or obey
ing thuir instructions.
Fair Play.
Improvements in the Raymondakill
Valley.
Ground has been broken for the
now building of August Bertrond
iu Dingman township. The site
chosen is one which will command
a fine view of theRaymondskill val
ley, and the house will be a docided
improvement to the landscape.
That immediate neighborhood is
fast assuming a genuine sub
urban appearance. The hondsomo
residence of Charles Nobs crowns an
eminence near by, and the cosy oot
tageof Monthemont surrounded with
a finely kept lawn spreads a charm
in the valley, while not far away
the nicely kept grounds of Joseph
Schanno's Chestnut Grove House,
and the commodious summer ho
tel of O. E. Boilletatadd their graces
to the prospect. Further lip the
beautiful sheets of water, artificial
ly created by Mr. Nobs and the Chat
tillon Bros, and the largo homo of
the latter dock the landscape, and
contribute largely to the beautiful
view. Since the genial Jim Bonnet
rechristened that vale Raymonds-
kill Valley, and tabooed the name
of "Chucktown," it has evidently
caught on to the dignity if its pa
tronymic and blossomed with a new
impetus and evinced a commend
able zeal to beautify its part of the
county. There are many locations
for summer homes yet remaining
unappropriated in that r gion, but
at the present rata they will soon be
ornamented with cottages and the
city man and his family will revel
in the beauty of his surroundings
and drink in the pure and health-
giving mountain ait. The roads,
too, have been much improved, and
a general appearance of thrift and
progressiveiiess now pervades that
whole territory.

goods of all kinds will be shown
and arrangements are now being
made for the showing of the process
of wine making. Inasmuch as
American wines are fast securing a
foothold in foreign countries such
an exhibit cannot help but stimu
late that industry. A manufactur
ing ooncern on the Paciflo coast will
make a very novel exhibit. A booth,
covering at least 200 square feet,
and rising 30 feet from the Exposi

will be constructed entirely of dif

to remove the nuts from the pile
most successfully were Frank Cross

rewarded with a silver stickpin and
bottle of lavender salts respectively.
The booby pi izos fell to the lot of
