The Shamokin express left at 7 o'clock. At Phocnixville orders dated Reading were received to run on the northbound track from West Conshocken to WestfalU, regardless of all other trains. From Conshohocken, in pursuance of tneso orders, tha ill-fated train took the northbound truck. Train No. 503, of empty coal cars, started north from West Manaynnk on the north track shortly before 0 o'clock.

The railroad officials eay that positive instructions had been given that the coal train should lie np at Westtalls. south of where the collision occurred, nntil the Shamokin train bad passed. The two trains camo together light on a curve at two minutes past 9 o'clock, with a terririo crash. A moment later the shrieks and groans ojC the dying and wounded tilled the air. Tho express was filled with passengers.

The engines plowed their way through each other and rolled over nu their sides in one conglomerate mass of shattered machinery. Tho baggage car was crashed and baagem aster Kppler and John Stief. tho newsboy, wre buried in a mass of broken timbers. The rear of tbe bairgazn car and the forward end of tbe smoker crashed together. The greatest force of the collision was spent on tbe smoking car and the nassencer next tq it, and the scene presented Where gives some indication of the speed at which the train was moving and the terrific shook of the collision.

-The smoker telescoped ltaway Into the other coach fully one-half Its length, end how any ono who was in either car escaped death is a mystery. The baggage car was lltterally smashed to pieces, and thTown over' on tho northbound track in a beaDwith the engines. It cauebt tire and soon burned up. The next two cars kept the track, notwithstanding that they telescoped together, nd were almost completely demolished. The next passenger car and the Pullman car were bally damaged, but not to such an extent as to prevent their being drawn away from the rest of the train directly after the accident occurred.

Except for scratches and bruises the passengers in tho last two cars all escaped unhurt. As the engines approached each other engineer I'illirj and conductor Uerlacher. of the coal train, both jumped from tbe cab and were injured. Tho lireman was coaling no at the time, but saw tho impending dancer in time to jump. Ha sustained sprained wrist.

Engineer FitzpatricK and lireman Welsh were alone in the passenger engine. They wcio civen no time to thin It of their owu safety, and were buried in tbe ruins before they knew what had happened. When the collision occurred conductor Hamilton was in tbe third passenger coach, the one next to the Pullman. With a remarkable exhibition of coolness he turned his attention at onco to the dead and wounded, and. collecting about him a stall of helpers, he noon had the unfortunate victims out of the wreck.

Tho injured were quickly taken awav and ioon a row If seven dead bodies wcro laid out on tho l.de of the road, some of them battered and lorn almost beyond hope of recognition.

Rumors wero current this afternoon that some arrests might be made, bnt chief of the Reading police O'Hrien said nothing would be done in the matter until tho coroner's inquest is held. This is set for next Tuesday, when tbe proper Place to lay the blame for the accident will probably bo brought pot. Deadly Collision In Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Oct.

He showed in his speech the historical ratio of silver and gold as money from early times to the present.

England being tho largest bond-holding cation, was tho mainstay in upholding the tfoid standard. He traced President Harrison's consistent course in laboring to secure an agreement between nations to coin silver on a uniform relative ratio with gold, and contrasted this with Cleveland's conrse hi his messages and letters in opposition to the coinage of silver. His showing of Cleveland's record on this issue was an eye-opener to his Democratio auditors, especially the reading of Cleveland's first message to Congress, delivered on the 6th day of December, in which, after devoting four pages to an argument against the continued coinage of silver, said: Those who do not fear disastrous consequences arising from the continual compulsory coinage of silver, as now directed by law, and who sup. poee that the addition to the currency of the -country Intended as Its result will be a public benefit, are reminded tbat history demonstrates that tbe point Is easily reacted in the attempt to float at the same time two torts of money of different excellenoe. when tbe better will cease to be In general circulation.

The hoarding of gold which has already taken plAce Indicates tbat we shall not escape tbe usual experience In such cases. So lf the silver coinage be continued we may reasonably expoct that pold and its- equivalent will abandon tbe field of circulation to silver alone.
