Campbell, who was convicted in court last week of involuntary manslaughter, for the killing of Gertie sentenced yester day by Judge Dreher to an imprisonment of six months in the county jail and pay a fine of $20. Then followed one of the most extraordi nary scenes ever witnessed in the courts of Carbon county.

The aged mother of the dead girl grew fairly wild in her dissatisfaotion with the sentence, and her attorneys were powerless to pacify her. She sprang to her ieet, and with arms raised on high, in a loud shrill voice called out: "God, Aimighty. come down and do justice; I am not eatislied to see my dear daughter slaughtered in oold blood, and him" (pointing her finger at the prisoner), have only six months in jail. No. no, God Almighty, come into this court house aud do tue fair thing.

OCTOBER 23. 1890. SINGLE COPIES TWO CENTS COLLISMjy TU1EL. SEHIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN. FIVE TRAINMEN AND A PASSENGEE KILLED The Wreck Take.

Fire and the Bnccage, Mail and Tiro Conches Burned The Mall Agent is Missing and it to Have Keen Burned to Death. Cincinnati, Oct 22. A disastrous collls ion ocurred at 4:40 this morning on tbe Cincinnati Southern railway in a tunnel a quar ter of a mile north of Sloan's Valley station. The trains that came together were freight No. 22, north bound and passenger No.

5, south bound. No. 5 leaves Cincinnati at 8 p. m. Another passenger train leaves Cin cinuati an hour later.

Both trains were held at Somerset. two hours or more on account of a freight wreck, which occurred south of that place last night When the track was clear the foremost Cincinnati train started out from Somerset first, and met and passed safely a north bound train. Then at a safe distance be hind it, No. 5 started out. Freight train No.

23, northbound, was side tracked at Sloan's Valley. When the first Cincinnati train passed south, the crew of the freight appeared to have overlooked the fact that No. 6 was to follow, and they pulled out and stated northward. Less than a quarter of a mile away they entered a tunnel, which is one sixth of a mile long. The engines of the two trains dashed into each other, ana the cars following were jammed into a mass.

Then came the added horror of conflagration. No description of the wreck has yet come to hand. Only the bare results have been telegraphed to the officials of the road here. These are that Fireman Oould and Weloh, brakeman John E. Montgomery, Express Messenger Edward Buffner and a mail agent were killed.

Engineer Taylor, of the passenger train, and Pimlott, of the freight trian, were badly burned. The baggnge master was also injured. No passengers were killed. If any were injured there names have not yet been ascertained. The burning of the trains in a tunnel renders it impossible to olear the track as readily as it could be done on open ground, the smoke and heat preventing men from entering.

Transfers will be made unlit the tunnel can be cleared. Thare were two mail agents on the traiu, J. L. Gayle and C. F.

Deegan. Which one of them is killed is tot yet known. Edward Buffner, tne messenger of the United States Express Company, who was killed, was a married man, living at Bond Hill, near this city. Later The initial cause of the collision was wreck which occurred last night at Elihu station, two miles below Somerset. A mixed train was stopping to leave a car and haa not yet got into motion, when a freight came up in the rear and struck the rear car, causing a serious wreck.

Young Mr. Payne, a commercial traveler for Plerson A Ciark, of Lexington, had both legs crushed aud has sinco died. The delay to the passenger trains by this wreck caused the mistake of the engineer find conductor of freight train No. 22, by which the tunnel collision occurred. Fortunately the passenger train had not entirely gone into the tunnel when the crash came, and so the three sleepers which did LOWEST PRICES rot DlflCQOflDS, Gold and Silver Watches, Fine Jewelry, Bronzes, Clocks, Silverware, Gold Beaded Canes, Gold and Silver Hand Silk Umbrellas Spectacles and Eyeglasses The largMt and best selected stock in th elty to tftleot from and prices the lowest.

Addresses of Correspondents. Whoever has lost a valuable hour or two in hunting for old letters in order to find a necessary address which a correspondent has carelessly neglected to give, and has not lost his temper, is gifted with rare degree of patienoe. In these busy days no person has a moral right to levy upon the time of another by writing a letter upon a sheet which does not contain tho printed address of the writer. When, people appreciate this truth it will be a sura sign of the dawning of the millennium. Until then we must endure the evil with the best grace possible, and de vise such means of individual relief as we can.

I find much assistance in an indexed blank book. As soon as I read a letter containing an address down goes the address into my book, and though my correspondent writes me a dozes times and never again gives me his address he cannot compel me to waste my timo eoing over files of old letters. The same is true of all addresees which I desire to preserve for future reference. No consideration would induce me to dispense with this to me necessity. Cor.

Writer. The Indians of Canada. Canada appears to have practically solved the Indian question. Instead of that "disappearance before the advance of the white man" which some theorists find it convenient to represent as inevitable, they increase in number in the eastern provinces, while even in the far northwest they show a tendency to adopt the methods of civilization. A striking token of progress is the fact that 2,000 more children are at this time in the Indian schools in Manitoba and the territories than were receiving instructions in 1SS1, and the number is stated to be increasing.

The effect of this increasing contact with civilizing influences is shown in the improvement in their dwellings, the gradual abandonment of many of the old heathen celebrations, such as the "Sim Dance," and the increasing number who stay on the reserves and endeavor to get something out of their land. Chicago Herald. Paying for One's Own Dinner. It seems that Mr. Depew's dinner at Homburg when he dined in company of the Prince of Wales cost him precisely 12 marks.

Twelve marks, it may be mentioned for the benefit of those who are not familiar with German currency, represents nearly fo. It seems somewhat strange that the Prince of Wales should invite people to dine with him at his hotel and then allow his guests to pay for their own din ner, but this, I understa.iil, is the Homburg custom and one to which Mr. Depew, under the circumstances, cheerfully subscribed besides subscribing the $3. The Prince of Wales is doubtless keenly alive to the fact that there are a great many Americans who would willingly subscribe 12,000 marks instead of 12 marks for the purpose of absorbing soup and toying witji an entree in royal company. In deed, if the privilege were put up at auction I should not be surprised to see it knocked down for a very much larger fig ure.

Chicaoo, Oot. 22. At a meeting of th looal board of directors of tbe world's fair Inst night it was ordered that the work of fllliDg in and piling the late front should begin as soon as contracts should be lot. About sixty acres of the submerged lands will bo used. The Ways and Means Committee roported to the board that the submerged land on the hike front could be filled in nnd piled for less than $7.00,000, nnd pledged itself to provide $800,000 for that purpose.

A resolution was adopted authorizing the Executive Committee to lot the eotitraot for filling in at a cost not to exceed 6700,000. The enthusinstio pledge of the ways and nvans oomniittoo nut the dirootors in a good humor. The 5800,000 will be raised outside and independent of the 10.000.000.

J. E. of Buffalo Run, writes: "What is peat from a poud bulow my barn worth for cabbage aud onions? The pond is now dry.

Heply bit JosErn For very sandy or very clayer coils, or for soils delloient in vegetable matter: peat alone will make a good addition, correcting extremes aud forming a strong loum retentive of moisture and fertilizing elements.

Under ail circumstances, however, it is better to make use of the muck or peat, after it has been thoroughly Weathered and dried, as absorbents in stables and yards, or to compost it with stable manure, before applying it to the soil. It wilt then be equal, if not superior, to the best stable compost, and an excellent dressing for onions, cabbages, celery and other garden stuff. Wonders op To day.
