UOTI?I Mi^NY i'assen(;ers killed, 1 *c / h k â- ' I And Hundreds of Others Badly Wounded. HEROISM OF A YOUNG LADY. Tearful Sufferings of the Imprisoned Victims, A deBpatcli Irom ^Vllkcilbar^o Bays : Tho fifth divibion of the Father Matthew ex carsion train on the 1 chi);b Valley JCail roed, rntiirDiii^; from Ila/loton, waa wrecked •bove rbiiiisylvaiiia Uaven lant (WcdniH day) iiit(lit, and the caru piled in oiiu â- ba()oleBa inaHU. All the cars were crowded, and the fatalities will run into a woeful figure. All the jihyBiuiana from Whitehiivcn and near by pointu are at the wreck, au are also all the Li hi|.li Valley ofliuialu from Wilkuabarre. The number killed ia variously reported from '2'i to 80 peruona. The only informatiun id from paaaengera on the Centrul Uailroad traina, who report a horrible condition of afTaira, the (jroana of the woundtd beir.(; heard acrosB the river where the tracks of the Oeutral run. At the Wilkeabarro depot handreda of people are gathered on the platform, many weepinf{ for the safety of their frienda, aiippoaed to bo en the wrecked train. Nothing farther than tbiaia known there. Later -It waa aoclion No. '> of the excurHiou which ran into acctiou No. 1 Tho latter had tain at Whitehaven eo as to be 10 minutes behind the preceding section. A tlaffman waa pat out fur protection, but the engineer of section .'> did not ace liia BiKnala it scema. Tho bodicb of four children were taken from under the engine immcdmtely after the wreek, and the other occupantH of the cars had to be cut out through the windows and doora of the cara. The exact number of wounded cunnot now be ascertained, but it may reach I.'jO. A. W. Welle, a prominent attorney and member of tliu Ijegislature, waa fatally injured, while othera barely eacaped instant death. Among those eerioualy ViOunded are .J. W. Stewart, Hecrotary and treasurer of tho Comstock (Castle Ktove works. Homo eay fully .',00 people were bnrt and thia Ih probably true, but l.~>0 will doubtleaa include all who wcro injured at all serioualy. Tho cars wcro smashed and broken and hurled ofT tho track. The road lies close beside the Lehigh Uiver, a steep embank. ment GO feet high runninc; dov/n to the water. Several of tho cara rolled down this, and othera wore crushed against the cutting on the other sido. Tho engineer juraj)ed off juat before they â- truck. The Urenian waa seriously in. jured. About sixty p20t)lc are killed and as many wounded. Twenty-live bodies have been taken from the wreck. News ia hard lo g>'t ; there ia no telegraph otllcs at Mud Kiiii. The iliird section of tho oxcursion train bad atno I on the track a few hundred yarda from MmcI Hun waiting fur sectiuna ahead to get o it of tho way. A tiagman, some â- ay, huil been sent back with n lantern to guard tliu train from tho rear. Knildenly the pasuongera on the nar platform tiaw a train approach at a high rate of ipeod, Hev< ral of theae pabuengers who saw the dimmer jumped and escaped. In an insi.int the llash of a lieadlight illuminated tho interior of tlio illfatod rear car. There was a frightful crash, and \he engliin plunged her full length into tho Viwdo<l maaa of humanity. Thn shook 'â-  )vo th)! rear car through the next one for othirds of its length, and the second car H forced into tho third. Not a single t- son escaped from tho reiir car. The second was crowded with maimed and bleeding bodiea, and the third car had but few paeaengera who cseaiwd. 1 ho nniiijiired aaid that the shattorod engine was pouring fortli streams of acaldiug Bte>tm and water which hid from their eyes tho fullest measure of the horriblo seono, while ita hiaaing sound deadened the sliriekH and groans of those impriaoncd in the wreck. Uhastly whito faces peered intd the windows to bo greeted by faces far more ghastly. Home of tho doad sat pinioned in their soats erect as in life, staring open. eyed, as if awaro of TIIK IIOUIlini.R BCmiOU.NUINOH. As tho steam and amoko cleared from tho rear car itu awful aighta were revealed. Tho timberti were crushed and wrenched, while on all sides hung manglod bodies and limba. 'I'lio few bodiea which were not mangled were burnod and sualiled by tho steam, and little remained in tho car which bore human semblanco. Tho Kcranton I'ioneer (^orpa who were on lliu train plied with zoal the broad axea which were meant for holidiiy oocasionB. They were, how- ever, but little adapted to tho work, and wore Rooii rendered uaeleas. In thn mean, time tho windowa of the oar were Rmaahed in, and bravo mon entered and relcBiied those least hurt or least entangled. In one oaiiothey found iJohn Lynoli,of Wilkc^abarro, HANOINil Kllcnt TIIK UilllK IIV ONK I.KO. His oriea brought friends, who, lo relievo his Buffering, stood upon the wreckage and held its weight upon their backs until lie was releaaed from liia terrible position. A young lady waa found caught by the lower limb. One of her liraba waa c|uickly re. leased, but tho olbor could not bo freed, and an unfortunate inibdireuted blow of an axo severed it from the body. Slio heroic- ally bore her torture, and taking out her gold watch aho handed it to an a(!c|UBint- anco as a gift to a friend at home. Hho was put on board one of the traina and givin all puHHililii care, but aho could not Burvivo her teiriblu injuries, and died in tho arms of frienJa on board the ear. To free the bodiea in the rear car, tho train men attached a locomotive to the wrooked engine and started to pull it from the wreck. The tirst movnmont of the shattered wroi'k brought from tho wounded auch awful cries of distress that the surrounding frionilH ordered the ongiueor to desist on pain of his life. They did not wish to boo the mangluil forms Btill further mutilated. The few housea about the spot were thrown open to tho sutTuring and luinliroa wore lighted to aid the work of relief. It is not tirobablo that the work will bo complettd before noon. The pasaengers gave many different accounts of TUK, I'KOIIAIII.K CAUHK OK TUK ACCIOKMT, some attributing it to the negligence of tho flagman in not going back with the red light. Othera say tho fourth section which ran into tho third had no air brakes. After the news was received at the boa. pital coniirmiog the worut feara the acenes at the depot wore lioartrandiug, indeed. Dr. Trimmer, from tho wreck, reports that many of the injured wore badly burned by gaa coming from the engine stack. The killed, aa far as can be learned, number i'J. A apocial doBpatch from Kaston, I'a., saya : Tho story of tho dis- aster on the Lehigh Valley Uailroad last night at fiJud Uuo, aa told by an otticial of the railroad i.saafoUows: Eighty- seven car loads cf people attended the parade at Ilazelton from Wilkesbarre, Bcranton, Carbondalc and other places. There were eight euctiona of the train, and these followed paaeenger train No. 12, with orders to run ten minutes apart. There orders were alao delivered to tho telegroph operators at all BJgnal atatioua. The seventh section camo to Mud Kun ahead of time, and waa stopped until ten minutes expired. Tho danger signal waa diaplayed at the station, and the rear brakeBmen were sent back aa au additional protection. Section No. 7 lay a short distance beyond tho sta- tion. No. H came thundering along and the brakesman gave the engineer the aignal. lie failed to heed it and dashed by. Tho train plunged on, disregarded the signal at the Btttion, and the awful disaster followed. Tho last train was filled with people from Carbondalc. Three cars were telescoped. Half an hour after tho acci- dent Superintendent Goodwin left lieth- lehem for the scene of tho accident with a carload of physicians. A gentleman who ban arrived from the scene Bays : The ace- tion of the train wrecked waa made up of Jersey Central passenger cars, which are only shells (jr apologies for cars. Two of these were completely demolished, and the other two nro next to worthless. Fifty- six persons arc dead, and somo of the forty persona injured will die. Some of the dead and injured have been sent to their homes at Scranton and Pleasant Valley, and the rest when 1 left were lying in the cars. The' section that collided with the aection that waa atandiog ubovo the ctation was drawn by two engines. The first engine ploughed through the last car in the train and partly through the next one above. Many of the dead and injured that were in these cars were found beneath, on top or alongside of the engine, some of them man- gled beyond recognition. When I left tho wreck had been cleared and trains were again running on time. Henry Cook waa the engineer of the tirat engine and Jamca Sharkey of tho aecocd. Cook leaped from bia engine, and when I left could not be found. His tireman was severely but not dangeroualy injured. I was told that Sharkey aaid that when he aaw tho aignal to stop ho abut off steam. When ho saw the danger signal on the target at tho depot he reversed hia lever, but Cook's engine continued using steam and pulled him into tho wreck. Sharkey escaped injury. The story that some of tho cara were thrown over tho embankment is tot true. From my knowledge of the strength of tho cars I should say that if they had been Lehigh Valley ears instead of Jersey Central tho accident would not have biwn so diaastroiis, and I doubt if more then thrte or four perEuns would have been killed. Tho diatanco from the ud of tho seventh section of tho train to tho spot where the brakesman stood giving this morning and found to be 1,000 feit the signal to the eighth sect ion was measured. \a tho train waa ascending a ^rado it could have been atoppod in lesa than that dia- tanco. According to tho investigation thus far made the conipany'a rules and ordera wero complii d with by the telegraph opera- tor and the crew of the third section. Two of the injured at tho hospital hero died thia morning, and six or eight more will dio. There are still a number of dead unidentitled. Mr. Jaa. AloUinly, Recorder of Deeds at Lu/orne County, was on tho section that ran into tho preceding train. lie aaid : I waH in tho second car from tho engint^ and saw tho train ahead of ua. Wo were run- ning at tho rato of about fifteen niilea an hour, I should judge. 1 reali/.ed that there would boa smaah.up, but I oonld not help myself. It was impossible to get out of the car, and I did not think it would be serious any way. The c.-ash waa a terrible one, though none of us in tho car in which I was seated wero injured, nor wero any of us thrown over tho aoata, but tho scene that followed makes mo shiver. I have heard and road thrilling accounts of railroad dia. asters, but never pictured in my mind any- thing like this. Tho horror uf that mo- ment cannot be expressed in words. We ran to the earn in which lay tho injured people. One would aay ; "Ohl lift that iron and take me out. I'orOod'a H»kelielp me." Another would exclaim : " My leg la fast, ont nil my leg. Get an axe and cut it off." Others begged for help in various ways, and with tho most piteous appeals. Every few minutua one of the poor victims would <lio. Homo wero being scalded by eaoaping atoam, aome wero crushed to death, and aomo d)ing slowly of their aw- ful injuries. To look on and bo powcrlesa to render aid waa enough to drive a man mad. I liopi I may never witness such a Bcano again. At (i.:<0 last evoning the fm â-  oral train arrived in Wilkeoharre, bearing litly-seven dead bo<lie8. They had been partially prepared for burial, and lay upon boards placed upon tho backs of thu seats in threo passenger HoachoH. It waa an a .vful sight indie I to look through tho long coaches at tho bodies, each eoverid with a >. " â- '•• cloth. Here tho form of a boy of 12 yoai <knd besido it that of a stalwart man. As tlis train dre,v up to tho station it took a dozen policemen to keep hack tho frantic orowd of friends and relatives who had come from Bcranton and IMoasant Valley to nieot their dead. A special coach had been provided for these frionda, but they insisted upon entoring tho car containing tho dead and were only atoppod by force and tho elTorta of fivo priests, who wore on tho train. Ono body was removed from the cars at Wilkesbarre. Tho train thou continued on ita way up tho Delaware it lludaon road to Miner's Mills and Soranton. The p:!Oplo in tho apeoial coach again began to olamor for permisaion to enter tho funeral oar, but were again refused, it being alleged that no one bad tho keys. Several who were in search of missing frienda became desperate and soon broke down the oar doors and began a frantic search for their loved ones. Clothes wero torn from the mangled and aualdod bodiea revealing tho gay uniforms of St. Aloytiua men, cadets and other mem- bers of societies. Those who knew their relatives were on board also flocked into the cars and began rearranging tho attire or coverings of the corp les. Many were distorted and in horrible attitudes, and friends endeavored to lessen their frightful apiiearance. At Miner's Mills the train stopped to leave the body of Jan:es Flynn. No lights could be obtained and mnch of tho work waa done in partial darknoBs. It was aa the train drow up at I'leasant Valley that the moat heartrending scenes were enacted, liopes had been atretchod about the station and guards kept the immense throng back. The shrielu and Bcreama of stricken friends and rela- tives were pitiful in the extreme. The first body carried out was that of Oacar Gib- bons, l:j years of age, borne in the arms of his stalwart brother ; then one after another forty. six whiteabeeted bodies were carried out and given into the charge of friends. The shrieks and cries of the women and the hoarse ahontsand impreca- tions of the men made a terrible ucene. When all wero out the train again pulled out to beir tho remaining dead to Scran ton, Minooka and points beyond. Engineer Foote low says that he did not see any danger signal. As Boon as he saw the train ahead he put on thu air brakes, bat the second engineer pushing him did not obey signals and kept up a full head of steam. This story ia not believed, and the general impreasion ia that Foote waa asleep. * A I'A IK OF THEM. 5r- .T *• J, aflwr. .;:.

Mr. Osier's cross-examination of Mr. E. Nollea, the plaintiff, in regard to tho status of the Superior Loan >V' Saving's Society, which had amalgamated with the Ontario Investment, showed that the for. mer had done business very much on the aanie plan aa had the latter. The Superior's total amount of atock aggregatea $7fi5,000, of which J10'2.H.",0 was owned by the solici- tor, W. W. Fitzgerald, subscribed for at 10 and 1.") per cent, premium.

I'eters on stock on which nothing had been paid, tho society ad. vancing a loan to pay tho premium on the stock. vVitueas detailed several similar transactions. Commenting upon these admissiona, Uis Lordship said : " I may be very much in the dark, but 1 never heard of anything of this kind going on before advancing loans on stock upon which nothii g baa been paid and providing the ouujcribcr with the pre. miuiu."

Dividends had been piid to tho owners of permanent stock up lo 18H7 by the Ontario Investment. Several of tho BhareholJers had aiuce bscomo irrc- sponsibla. Mr. Osier put in the copy of the original writ and an order made by Judge Davis on .Juno llth, 18SM, to make the Superior C'ompany party to the suit as one of the defendants. It was then that tho plaintiiV began the attack on the act of amalgama- tion. This closed the defence and Mr. Blako addressed the court on behalf of the plain. tilT, ((aestioning the power of tho Ontario Investment Aaaociation to (lerform the act of amalgamation and contending that his client'a consent to becoming a shareholder had been induced by fraud and misrepre- sentation.

A last (Thnriday) oight'i London, Ont., despatch says : The salt against the Ontario Investment Association occnpied the attention of the Chancery Court to-day. Mr. liookcr estimated the association's losses at about 91, '250,000, which would have to be written off. At the time of the auspension the paid, up capital was $7'JO,000. The currency debentures bad been paid off in fall and the sterling debentures were paid as they matured. He tboaght all claims woula be met when the shareholders who were good paid up and that paid. op bhareholders would get a dividend of iiO per cent. Mr. Booker described the trans, action in connection with the Boyal Ex- change property, Chatham, which waa bought by Mr. Charles Murray, then Preti- dent, for 8^4,000, upon which the associa- tion loaned to him thai amoaat without any security whatever at the time. It waa cot till a couple of years after thatMiirray, in consideration of the nominal sum of 81, executed a deed to Taylor and his sacces- aors in office. John Hunter, post office clerk, and ancle of Henry Taylor's wife, gave evidence as to tho £174,000 in loans which appeared against him on the books. Ue waa sur- prised to bear of the amounts with which he had been credited with borrowing. He bad had implicit confidence in the director, ate of the association and was aware they wore making use of hia name, bat not to the extent that had since been charged. The directors wanted to transfer the stock to him and realizo on it in bia name. Cron>n, Murray and Henry Taylor made tho arrangement with him. He was not to receive a cent in return for bis name, not even commission. When bia Bignatare was rc.<iuired to any of the transactions be had attached it without even reading what he was signing. The directors' motive in handing the stock to the witness waa to improve the apparent status of the aasocia. tion as they considered " it would not look nice " owning so mach stock. Henry Taylor, in the course of his evi. dence, aaid a very large amount of the $815,000 purporting to be loaned on build, ing eocieiy stock was really loaned upon the association's atock. He cxiuld not say why. From 8'206,000 to 830" 000 was placed on the balance sheet at. jaced on building society atock instead of as their own stuck. It never occurred to witness that he had no right to loan upon thtir own stock. In regard to the John Himter transactionB, he said: "For the purpose of the businesa of the company we pre- ferred to have them appear in the shape of a loan, as the company did not wish to appear as borrowing upou their own stock." Mr. Ulake~Did John Hunter parchaBe the stocks he waa represented to own? Witness- No. Mr. Ulake â€" Was he to pay any money for it '.' Witnessâ€" No. Mr. Ulake â€" Was the entry a sham ? Witnesaâ€" It was incorrect. Mr. Blake â€" Answer my qacstion. Was It a sham and a false statement .' Witnessâ€" Well, yea. Mr. Taylor farther said tho mortgages on Manitoba property were made to him as an individual. He knew the company had not the power to loan money ou Manitoba property. They were applung for the power. Mr. Taylor admitted that in tho lists of shareholders Bent to the old country certain names were down for blocks of shares which wero really owned by individuals. The parties referred to owned some sbarea. Mr. Blakoâ€" .\ud you liid not object. Vou knew it was a falsehood, and yet yoa did not object. Mr. Taylor said he probably knew of it. TUK UKAU ALIVE.

An Atchison, Kaa., despatch saya : Some excitement haa been created in Atchison by the discovery that Georgo W. Ocker, eight years ago an attorney at the Atchiton bar, and who has been thought to be dead since that time, ia alive and well in Colorado, enjoying a lucrative law practice under his right name. In the fall of 1880 Ocker dis- appeared, and hia young wife was on the vergo of insanity. Being panniless she could not institute a vigorous search for him. In January, 18HI, the mangled re- mains of a man were found near the village of Monrovia, on the central branch of the I'uion I'acitic railroad, and identified as those of Ocker. In time tho supposed widow was *ooed and won by a welllo do- farmor of Noinaha county, whom she married, and has borne several children. Now comes the blight. She was a wife when her second husband married her. Uuu't Uaudaee Your Kyex. Tho custom, prevalent among physiciau as well as the laity, uf tightly bandaging or tying up tho eye aa soon as it becomes intlamed or sore is a bad one. Tho effect upon the eye is bad.

JAUKS rABLET SEN1EMCBD To Ite Huui;*<] on tli« 8lh Nuvctuber, ItDt HtruDgly HecoDiincnileci to Mercy. A I'eterboro' despatch says: Excitement was intense all day yesterda} over the mur- der trial at the Assizes. It will be remem- bered that on Sunday, Jane 21tb, James Farley, an employee of Howe's Circoa Company, whicti was I'ivirg exhibitions here, shot an Indian named Simon Elijah, also onu of the troupe. Tie bhooting waa the outcome of a drunkeu debauch and quarrel, which bad extended ail through the day, culminating about 4 o'clock in the afternoon in Fsrlcy deliberately shooting down hia victim on the Market s-jaare. It ia neealesB tu detail thu particnlars of the crime. Both men had been drinking, and an old fead between them broke out afresh. They met on the Market njuare, aome words, bantering on the part ot th'^ Indian and threatening on Farley's part, passed between them, and in the presence of sev- eral byetandtrs Farley drew a revolver and shot Simon Elijah. The In<:iaa died a couple of da}s afterward.', and Farley waa held for murder. Yobterday the case waa tried, and the pu^,iic iiiterest was mani- fested by the eager cro.^''a who attended the courtroom. Mr. W. It Hiddell, of Co- boarg, condocled the pro-eeution, while Messrs. O' r^eara and liarnharn defended the prisoner. The pri uuer iii about 2'2 years of age and lived in Fiuladelphia. His father is hero now, and attended the trial. After the evidei.i:<! waa taken and the coonsel had made their ad- dressefi, Hia Lordship, Mr. Justice Street, delivered his charge, in which he did not attempt to paliale thecnme, bat rather charged against the prisoner, in whose con- duct he could find no p!ea for clemency. The jary retired aboat 4 15, and in three- quarters of an hour returued with their verdict, which read, guilty, with a recom- mendation to mercy. His Lordship asked their reasons for the recommendation, and these being given- the inebriety cf the parties and the fact that the Indian had threatened Farley â€" he procetded to sen- tence the priaoiier. Farley, when asked if he had anything to aay, replied in an un- steady voice, asking leniency because of hia pexir father and mother. His Lordship said his duty was plainly before him, and he coald do nothing else than pass the sen- tence cf death upon the prisoner. Be added, however, that he wonid forward the reccm mendation of mercy of the jary to the pro- per authoritiL'S for their consideration, but he could hold out no hope for the prisoaer that it would be of any ber.e&t Co him. His sentence waa that the prisoner be taken to the jail and there held until the Bth ot November next, when he be hanged by the neck until dead, concluding with " and may God have mercy on your soul," to which Farley added a scarcely audible " Amen." "The prisoner received the sen- tence with the same hopeless bearing be had maintained from the beginning. He watched the proceedings with interest, but his pale luce wore a dei'pondent Icok that only deepei^ed somewhat when bis doom waa pronounced. \ Latest ScoltUh Newn.
