The jCyric Tjheatre M. F. Coons, Lessee and Manager. estimated that they1 were going at the rate of about 90 miles an hour when they' reached1 their greatest speed. Two of the men who were killed met their fate at Elmhurst.

A gang of section hands were working on the track at that poim. Their view of the track in the direction from which the runaway cars were coming Was cut off by a sharp curve. The men had no warning whatever of their Impending Sanger. Ward and Treible were busily engaged in tamping a tie in the middle of the track, when the runaway cars, going at lightning speed, bore down upon them, and the unfortunate men never knew what struck them. Their bodies were hurled off the track and terribly mangled.

The annojincement of the death of Martin Loughney, which occurred at 2 o'clock this morning at his home on the upper end of Carroll street, was a great surprise to the many friends of this sterling old gentleman. For some time past Mr. Loughney had been in ill health, but his condition was not such as to confine him to the house, and as late as two days ago he was seen on the streets of the city. The deceased was a native of Ireland, but emigrated to this country 'many years ago and had since been a resident of this com munity, widely known and respected by all who enjoyed his acquaintance. Throughout his working years he was employed in the mines and was a most industrious workman and good citizen.

For a short time, while the city sewer system was being laid, some years ago, he held the position of sewer inspector. His wife survives him, as also do the following sons and daughters, all residents of this city: Michael, Pat dick, John, Mary and Bridget. The funeral will be held on Monday morning, with services in St. John's Church and interment in Market street cemetery. NEW FLOOD BOOK.

The Connellsville (Pa.)

Although Miss Myers is new to this she has proven herself to be an artist of wonderful ability, es pecially for one of her years, and we hope in the near future she won't forget us, but come regularly every year. Good companies are scarce, and it is a treat to enjoy performances such as ate given by the Irene Myers Last but not least, special mention must be made of the vaudeville portion of the show; it is a complete company by itself and embraces an array of talent rarely seen with ah attraction of this kind."

One of the most remarkable accidents in the history of railroading in this section of the country occurred this morning on the Erie and Wyoming Valley division of the Erie railroad, three men being instantly killed. The dead are all employes of the company and their names and records are as follows: Frederick Henneford, of Wimmers, a fireman, unmarried; instantly killed. Thomas Ward, of Elmhurst, a section hand, unmarried; instantly killed. Samuel Treible, of Wimmers, a section hand, unmarried; instantly killed. Story of the Accident.

The victims were killed as the result of a runaway accident. It seems" that about 7 o'clock this morning, while a crew in the switching yard at Wimmers, which is on a summit about 13 miles east of Scranton, were switching cars, eight empty coal cars became loosened from the end of a train, on account of the breaking of a coupling, and started down the grade toward Scranton. There did not happen to be any brakeman on the cars that broke loose, else they would have been stopped before going a very great distance, and they had got so far away from the main train before the accident was no. ticed that it was impossible for anybody to board them or to catch them with an engine. To follow them with a locomotive would have been very risky, inasmuch as the cars were on the same track that trains would use in coming from Scranton, and the" dancer of a worse collision made it unwise to attempt to reach the cars in that way, even had it been possible to get up speed enough to keep up with the cars.

Down a Heavy Grade. There is a heavy grade for practi cally the entire distance between Wim mers Summit and Rock Junction, which is two miles east of Dunmore. The level stretches are few and short, so that the momentum gained by the cars on the hills easily carried them across the level spots. The runaway cars gained terrific speed," so that it is pass tomorrow's examination, it is expected that the present vacancy in tire postoffice force and later vacancies will be filled. M.V.F.

The photograph is an excellent one, and many of the athletes who will participate in the enter tainment to be given one week from tonight in Armory hall are included in the group. Arrangements have been made for a matinee to be given at the Broad Street Theater on Tuesday afternoon by the company which gives a moving picture exhibition on Monday and Tuesday evenings, for the benefit of Eagle Hose Co. Children will be ad mitted fer 15 cents. The schools of the city will be closed on that after noon. A store room, conveniently ar ranged and well constructed, will be erected in the near future for the use of grocer Thomas Grace, in the "old basin," near Tompkins street.

The building will be brick, veneered, 30x40 feet in dimensions. The improvement is necessitated by the growth of Mr. Grace's business, and it will put him in better condition than ever to attend to the needs of his patrons. Next Sunday afternoon, at the close of the Broad St. M.

E. Sunday school, Class No. 24 will hold a special session, for the purpose of taking action on the transfer of the money in its possession to the building fund of the church. During the past few years, this large class of men has been very active in collecting, by various means, money to aid in the construction of the new church building. The money now on hand amounts to about $5,000, and it is the intention of the class to turn the sum over to the church, to be used in defraying the cost of the new building.

Steamed clams at the Vienna, Collision at Rock Junction. There was no further obstruction to the runaway train, which managed to keep the despite numerous curves and grades, until Rock Jet. was reached. Here, there was a locomotive laboriously pulling a coal train up the grade. The train was moving compar atively slow, which, accounts for the escape of the engineer from a horri ble He was.

keeping a sharp outlook ahead when he detected the runaway cars coming down the grade toward, the front of his engine. He had but a moment to act, but he succeeded in shutting off the steam and jumping from the locomotive, escaping unln The was not so fortunate. He was firing the boiler when the collision occurred, and although the engineer shouted for him to jump, he did not comprehend the situation quickly enough to save his life. He was in the tank when the run away cars crashed into the engine, The impact was so terrific that the monster piece 01 machinery was thrown back in a heap of ruins, so far as the running gear was concerned Half a dozen coal cars were also wrecked behind the locomotive. Henneford was caught in the wreckage and was instantly killed.

The wreck was one of the most serious ever "seen on the Erie. HAGGERTY WALKER. Well Known Youn' Couple United in Marriage at St. John's. Last' evening at S.30 o'clock, in St.
