AMUSEMENTS ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Tonight "The Volunteer Organist," which has had such remarkable success upon the occasion of its appearances heretofore in this city, will again be produced. The play is pastoral, the drama is simple, and is blended with genuine comedy and exceptional pathos. The cast and the scenic effects have been carefully selected. The story it tells is of the every day people in a New England hill town, with the common touches of sentiment and humor, and the sermon it preaches is temperance, religious liberality and strictly moral conduct.

She will appear in each of the one act pieces from "Carmen," "Mignon" and "Trovatore.

The two men had visited Mertztown, and were driving home in a buggy. Owing to the cold weather they were well bundled up and this probably prevented them hearing the train as it approached.

The train left Allentown 20 minutes late and it was running probably 60 miles an hour when Engineer George Watson saw the team approaching the crossing, and before the vehicle cleared the track the locomotive plunged into the buggy. In an instant the air brakes were ap pliedand so suddenly that some of the passengers on the train were thrown forward in their seats. The body of Mr. Fegley was terribly mangled and his head crushed into a pulp. The body of Frey lay on the pilot.

One of the arms was nearly severed from the body. The horse was not injured, and, after running a short distance, was caught and taken to the hotel. The buggy was crushed to bits and portions of it were found entangled in the brake rigging beneath the tank of the engine. The remains of the victims were placed in the baggage car and taken to Topton, where they were turned over to Deputy Coroner H. A.
