KlNGSBUBT, Sept. score feien are scouring the surrounding country Herbert Thompson, the brakeman, to whose neglect the responsibility for the eatafftrophe at this place, which resulted in the loss of 11 lives aud the injury of many persons, if ascribed. After freight train bad backed to its tiding to await the passing of the express, his were not observed by any of the crew. When, however.

Engineer Whitman had succeeded in extricating himself from the debris of the meat car, into which he had been driven by the force of the collision, he found Thompson standing on the track as pale as a ghost and trembling in every fiber. "What have you donef" demanded the engineer, whose right arm hung helpless by his side, while the blood poured from a out hi his head. Thompson have left the switch open," was Thompson's reply, and without another word he took to big heels and disappeared on the side of the wreck. Half an hour later he put in an appearance at the Genther farmhouse, two miles south, and asked for something to eat, saying by way of explanation that a wreck had occurred during DK night over toward Kingsbury; that he bad been flagging for hours and that be was completely worn out. The family hastened to set the table, but after swallowing a cup of coffee he seized his hat and left thvjsouse, exclaiming as he did so that to notify the officials of the road.

Instead of returning toward Kingsbury, however, he took the pike for Still well, five biles below that point, and through which actual trains over the Wabash, Grand Trunk and Lake Erie and Western pass daring the day. Up to a hour no trace of his whereabouts had been discovered. The inquest on the remains of the victims of Hie accident was opened at the Masonic lull by Coroner N. V. Cole of Michigan City.

The accident was caused by a brakeman of a freight train turning the switch to let the freight out of a side track after the first notion of the express had passed and just before toe wrival of the second section.

The wrecked train was the second section of the fast that left Detroit at 10 o'clock Thursday night and was due in Chicago at 7:15 Friday morning. The freight train which came in collision with the pas- train-had orders to let the express past it cl Jfingsbury. -C do this the freight was pulled in on a track, where it remained until the aectiou of the express went safely by. sn, either through a misunderstanding the orders or because he did not know i the express train was running in two Hans, the freight train brakeman threw switch so as to permiMbe freight train run out on the main line. Inst at that moment the second section the express came along at a high rate of Md.

Before the brakeman had time to row back the switch the heavy engine of passenger train had dashed into the ling. A moment later the trains met. with ter- fic loroe. To add to the horrors of the irrible collision the boiler of the posscn- engine blew up, scattering human odies aud car wreckage in Jill directions. ton minutes after the accident had oc- oned the most frightful scenes were ranspiring.

All the neighboring towns were appealed for aid, and a corps of physicians was con on the spot attending to the injured. Joe fleople living in the vicinity of the threw open their homes to the pas- jengers of the ill fated train, and nearly house was soon transformed into a hospital. A force of volunteers assisted the surviving trainmen in rescuing the" wounded and taking the bodies of the dead from beneath the derailed and demolished coaches. The dead were placed side by side in a small room at the station. Relief trains were started from Chicago and St.

Louis at an early hour, nnd when they arrived such of the injured as were in a condition fo be removed were taken on to Chicago. peatli Came While The.v Slept. The Masonic hall was turned into a inorgue, and drays and farmers' wagons were kept busy for two hours hauling the dead and wounded to the village, a mile distant from the depot, where medical help and nurses were summonod. There were two sleepers on the train- tie Marion and the Kansas City. The lor- dlingwood ny Tifle flay coacn.

which smashed over it. The psssenKers in the sleeping cars were all yet in their berths when the shock came. Many of them were thrown from the beds and severely hurt. The hardest ol deaths was reaped in the smoking car and day coaches composing the forward part oi the train. There was no time to make any effort at self preservation.

With a fearful crash the trains met, the forward passengei coaches being driven into one another with mighty force, crushing the lives out of all who were caught between the splintering timbers. Owing to the early hour, but few persons were aboard, and it was some time before the country and townspeople came to the assistance of the trainmen. The passengers who were not hurt worked heroically in their efforts to take the dead and wounded from the wreck as quickly as it could be done. The broken beams and twisted irons of the telescoped cars were apart, and from beneath them the Wins of the catastrophe were lifted. Wikoin a short time many bodies, mangled and dead, were lying on the browned grass near the wreck, and a score or more of injured had been carried to the nearest farmhouses, where they were attended to by surgeons and the country people.

EIGHTY REPORTED LOST. A Story of the Sinking of Uajtian NEW YORK, Sept. report of the sinking of the Haytiau warship Alexander Petion was received in this city. All on board, with one exception, were said to have been lost. All told, 80 were drowned.

Among the number were many prominent officials and diplomats of the republic. The cause of the disaster is unknown. The news of the catastrophe was brought to this city by ex-Minister to Hayti J. S. Dunham, who arrived on the steamer Prins Willc-m I from Port an Prince.

The disaster to the Petion occurred on Sept. 6 about 50 miles south from Cape Tiberot. The cruiser had just been put into commission. She k-fi Port au Prince Sept. 4, bound for Domingo.

She had on board many distinguished passengers, among them beingGeneral Moline, San Domingo's envoy to Hayti; M. Cohen, the Haytiau minister to Mexico, and other well known diplomats. The suddenness and completeness of the disaster, only one sailor escaping, makes the affair most mysterious, and it is probable that the real cause of the wrecking of the noble ship will never be known. According to the testimony of the sole survivor, there was absolutely no warning. Neither collision with another vessel, submerged coral reef uor storm can account for the occurence.

I Mr. Samuel Eomberger Makes Two Harrow Eicapee from Fierce Balls. About a year ago Sam. Bomberger, liveryman, in company with Mr. John BensiDg.

the genial proprietor of City Hotel, attended a sale held in the country, and while there fur some real or imaginary reason a fierce bull made an attack on Mr. Bomberger. At that time Sam cut a bee line to get in under cover and out of the way and then and thera determined that whenever sgaiu he went to a sile and intermingled with his bu- colia friends he would see 10 it that no bull was near, aod having faithfully adhered to this resolution he up to yesterday escaped immunity from bulls. But he forgot that not only in tic countiy bnt in the city, too, sometimes bulls are found. Yesterday afternoon he visted the Wm.

Penn stabler, where a lot of oxen were being sold at aacti m. Among the lot was a bull and his lordship after proudly viewing the crowd, singled out Sam aid went lor him in a lively manner. Realizing that the bull meant business started on a dead run, with his coat tail spread out sufficient to play a game of cards on it. With him it was not a matter of ceremony, or order of waiting, but ho went dashing along until he went headforemost into a coal bin, and only when he saw that the bull could not pass through the small opening or make such a leap as he, did he breathe more freely. Mr.

Bensing.wbo is a particular friend of Mr. Bomberger's, and who witnessed the affair, says that it was a sight that he will never forget, but evi loyal to Sam, he says that if the bull had caught Mr. Bomberger, "hot ich ken zeit ferlore zum bull zu komme und bet sei echwantz in BO en weg rerdreht das er Iroh gewest wehr der Sam geh zu losse."

ALL S08TH LEB4SOH FURHACBS IDLE A CHURCH FOR BRIGGS. Admirers of the Hero of the Heresy Trial Buy a llaptiat Church For Him. NEW BrtvxMvicK, X. Sept. Princeton presbytery of the Cumberland church recently purchased the church edifice of the Keniscu Avenue Baptist church in Xew Brunswick.

The ostensible object of the move wiis the founding of a church of tbe Cumberland faith in New Brunswick. Keliable information now shows that the main purpose of the move was to place tbe Rev. Dr. Briggs. who has been reduced from preaching in the regular Presbyterian pulpits, in It has'been understood for sonic time that some of.

the leading lights in the Cumberland Presbyterian church are leaning toward Briggsisni, aud it is evident from certain articles in their denominational paper that overtures have been made by the denomination to Professor Briggs to come, with all his followers, into the Cumber- bind Presbyterian church. Some of the youug ministers of the Cumberland church who belong to the recently organized Princeton presbytery of the Cnmlierland church are students in the Union seminary of New York, in which institution Professor Briggs has long taught They are in favor of receiving Dr. Briggs, and it is thought that when tbe Bemsen Avenue church is made over to the denomination this winter the pulpit will be supplied regularly by the Bev. Dr. Briggs.

Sept. hundred incu down Alain avenue in pursuit of a young man in cycling costume who was supposed to be one of the gang who have been stealing bicycles around here of late. Finding be was about to be captured, the fugitive darted dovra an alley that leads to tbe Passaic river und plunged in.

It woe thought be bad been drowned, but he turned up later in Carlstadt and tried to hire a wheel. the secretary read from that paper." The article was read charging dissatisfaction with the authorities. The obnoxious statement was as follows: Eagan Konndly Denounced. Affidavitsare offered to yourcorrespond- ent by people that a certain member of the relief canvassing committee offers to barter food certificates for It was headed by the Savannah Press "Food ForATrtue." Mr. Eagan was asked if he was the correspondent and if be telegraphed this statement.

He said he was the correspondent and telegraphed the statement. When asked which of the five canvassers the charges referred to, he replied that he could not give tbe name now, but would do so later, with his proofs. Hon. Jacob Dart jumped to his feetand denounced Eagan in the most scathing terms. Colonel Goodyear followed Mr.

Dart. He was calm and collected, but the force of his arraignment was not less fearless, though in a different form. Bev. E. F.

Cook, D. Watson and others present asked Eagan why he did not produce the names then, but Eagan did not answer. The excitement on. the streets was intense, and a crowd of men met and agreed to give Eagan a chance to clear himself or else deal with him in a manner not to be mistaken. The regulators are quietly but determinedly organizing to deal with Eagan and every person laying himself liable.

Eagan stated that he would be at the meeting last night and endeavor to satisfy the officers. Chief of Police Beach says that Eagan has applied to him for protection and was assured that he should have it. Chief Beach Is Firm. In discussing the regulators, Chief Beach said he had two regular policemen besides Assistant In addition to these he had a full force of men who had been recently employed, and he believed thejr would do their duty and help him preserve order. He said that as long as it lay in his power he would suppress any and all regulators, and be believed plenty of good, conservative citizens here would help him.

He recognized the gravity of the situation that caused such talk on the streets, bnt he would give any citizen the protection due him. Chief Beach is determined and has the courage of his convictions. Every one concedes without question that he will do his duty. Late last night a party of prominent citizens met at the Ocean hotel and discussed the situation. They requested the state- I the twitting from his friends, beiug too thankful fur his lucky escape from what might have terminated in a serious affair.

Judge McPherson announced that tho court was not satisfied with tbe manner in which the costs in criminal cases was being worked and that the court had made the following new rule: "LEBANON COU.VIT, S3." The court of quarter sesssions observes with much regret that the number of trifling cases brought before it tends to increase. There may be several causes for this, but it is highly probable that one cause at least is the ease with which persons sentenced to pay have been able to escape imprisonment. Too many petty cases have been hastily brought, because prosecutors be lieved that, even if they failed, they would not be obliged to go to jail. "This court is satisfied that its liberality on this subject has been abused, and accordingly announce the following rule: "95, A. Hereafter no order under the Act of 1887 (P.

L. 80) will be made permitting tbe County Commissioners to discharge from prison a person who has been sentenced only to pay costs, until such person has been imprisoned in tbe county jail for at ten days. The court reserves the right to modify or disregard this rule under special circumstances. This does not interfere with the practice under the insolvent act of 1836 and its supplements, bat only with the summary proceeding under the act of 1887. JOBS B.
