THKEE freight TRAMS were wrecked on the Pennsylvania railroad the other day, about a mile east of Latrobe, Pa. Two freight trains were telescoped, and caught the east-bound train just us the latter was passing. Thirty-six cars and two en­ gines were wrecked. One of the engines with several cars rolled over the embank­ ment and fell into the river. To add to the horror of the wrack the cars caught fire. At least twenty-five persons lost their lives and probably more. Twenty others were more or less seriously in­ jured and some of them, it is believed, can not recover. AT Holyoke, Mass., Mrs. Lizzie Bren- nan has been arrested on suspicion of having poisoned her hnsband and two sons in order to obtain the insurance which she had sedttted upon their lives. The amounts of the policies ranged from $300 to $2,000. Her husband died under suspicions circumstances two months ago. Six weeks a^o her son John died. She supposed that his insurance had been increased, but on claiming it found the increase had erroneously been made in the policy of his brotlioi Thomas, who was then taken sick and died in great agony.. ' - • - WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Camf 20 of the Clan-na-Gael, at Chi­ cago, has been disbanded. This camp is the one to which Dr. Cronin belonged, and which, it is thought, contained many --if not all--of his brutal murderers. The story is that it was Edward Spellman, act­ ing in his capacity of District Officer of Illinois and Miohigan, who dis­ banded it. Wheu this informa­ tion came npon the State's Attorney and the investigating committee it was » complete surprise. They were interested in preserving the camp intact for ihe present, their purpose being to obtain {obsession of all its records. The dis-anding of the camp means the destruc­ tion of the records and the further thwart­ ing of the authorities in their endeavor to investigate the secret doings of the noto­ rious club. The State's Attorney has now a strong suspicion that Spellman disbanded the camp for the sole purpose of having its records destroyed.

The funeral will be held in Harrisbnrg. , Bimon Cameron was born less than twenty-five miles from the spot where he died, in 1799, the son of a poor country tailor. Apprenticed to the printer's trade^ he worked in Washington in 1821 on the Congressional debates, and there became acquainted with President Monroe. He was a Democrat in politics, and in that jear of 1821 he wrote a letter favoring the election of John C. Calhoun to the Presi­ dency. Pr or to going to Washington he was editor of tbe Doyleston Democrat. In 1823 he was elected public printer of Pennsylvania. In 1826 he became adju­ tant-general of his native State. In 1828 he had the contract to build a canal from Lake Ponehartratn to New Orleans, and j relinquished that Work at the request of Gen. Jackson to return to Fennsylvana and aid in organizing the first national convention held in the republic. At that convention, held in Baltimore, he was offered and declined the chairmanship. Selling out his interest in the canal con­ tract he became a banker at Middletown. He had plaoed James Buchanan in the Senate, and when the latter entered Polk's cabinet Mr. Cameron, in 1845, succeeded him in the Senate. Mr. Cameron was re­ elected to the Senate in l*J.i6, as a Repub­ lican, and in the convention which nomi­ nated Lincoln was Pennsylvania's candi­ date for the Presidency, "ft hen the final conflict came Mr. Cameron's friends voted for Lincoln to defeat Seward, and Mr. Lincoln was nominate I. Mr. Lincoln named Mr. Cameron for Secretary of War, and he held that office until 18H2, when he retired and accepted the St. Petersburg mission. The moving cause of his retirement from the war office was his recommendation that the negroes be armed, which was considered by Mr. Lincoln and Mr Cameron's fellow-secre­ taries impolitic at ihe time. Mr. Cameron was granted by Mr. Lincoln the privilege of naming his successor, and upon his nomination Mr. Lincoln made Edwin M. Stanton his war secretary. When in 1864 the movement to uefeat the renomination of Mr. 'Liwtfoln bedarne pronounced the President recalled Mr. Cameron and placed his interests in his charge. The veteran politician immediately went to Harrisburg and induced the Legislature to petition Mr. Lincoln to accept a second term. This action was imitated by the legislative bodies of the other loyal States and Mi*. Lincoln's renomination was assured. Mr. Cameron re-entered the Senate (in 1867 and served until 1877, when he re­ signed and was succeeded by his son Don Cameron. Mr. Cameron has never lost interest in politics, and even in his ad­ vanced old age he has wielded an almost autocratic power in the politics of his own State. He was a born leader of men, aggressive in his opinions; strong in his determination; quick to apprehend and to act; a shrewd observer of his fellow-men; a man of winning manner and pleasant speech.

Alexander Sullivan, Martin Burke, Wood­ ruff, P.

' Q'Malley, Themis Murphy, Lawrence R. Buckley, Harry Jordon, Dan Coughlln, P. O'Sullivan and John F. Beggs. The bureau of prosecution, armed by the Information placed in its hands by a mem­ ber of the l4loner circle" last Monday, has been closely pre^sin; this group until now one is arrested and the evidence warrants the indictment of othera. Pome of the suspected men have been either before the gran I jury or the State Attorney, a do; en times. John F. Beggs was relentlessly questioned seven times. He wouid admit that he was a member of the Clan-na-( ael and o* camp 20; that he was the senior guardian or executive officer of the camp; that he had attended certain meetings, and that he had met at them certain men. But be protested his innocence, saying: "I know nothing and , I am not xesponsible for what others in my 8amp may have done."

The State's attorney has already in his possession enough evi ienoe to hang at ieast half of that number, and before the grand jury resun.es consideration of the Cronin case Wednesday he expects to have a complete chain of evidence encirclin g the camp, or at least the guilty members of it. Shortly after the finding of the body the ; State's attorney received an anonymous letter which set forth the details of a moat­ ing of camp 20, which was held on a Friday in the latter part of February. J John F. Beggs, the No. 1, and sefiior guar- • dian of the camp, presided at this meeting, which was attended only by what is known as the inner circle of the camp, 3 and the purpose for which the meeting ' was called was the trial of Dr. Cronin as a A British spy. He was found guilty, the letter went on to state, and tho punishment' was fixed at death. Death was always the penalty which traitor 1 paid, and j Cronin was to be no exception to the rule, M The preliminaries having been disposed § of, the question of who should be the exe­ cutioners was taken up. Lots were drawn, i The names of every man present were put i\ on separate slips of paper and the lottery of inur'der was carried * out in all its* details. Who .were the ones to whom the fearful deed was committed was not made known at the meeting. No one knew the names of the men who were to' "remove" Dr. Cronin, except tbe man who was to notify them that they had been selected for the act of blood and were expected to begin at once. This man, the letter went on to slate, was John F. Beggs. At once every power of the police was put forth to find the author of the letter giving information which was so valuable if true. But without success. In vain the officers sought for some one who would admit that such a meeting had been held. All were obstinate in asserting that they never heard of such a meeting or such action by camp 20. In vain Coroner Hertz questioned every Clan-na-Uael who was before the Coroner's jury as to the proceedings of the camp at its meet­ ings since the 1st of January. Every one was ignorant. To-day the light broke on the darkness which overcame camp 20 Detective Pal­ mer had a long interview with Judge Longenecker early this morning, and about an hour later a Hurried-looking man was admitted to the judge's office by the side door. He was a Clan-na-Gael man, and he corroborated the contents of tho letter in every detail. Who he is could not be learned, but so satisfactory was the infor­ mation he gave the judge and so complete the proof of the planning and premedita­ tion of the Cronin murder in camp i0, that he said an hour later: "I've got evi* dence enough now to hang half a dozen." It is claimed that State's Attorney Longenecker has a list of the names of all the men wbo attended the secret meeting at which Dr. Cronin'* removal was ordered All that could be learned of the mysteri­ ous visitor to Judge Longenecker was that he was a Clan-na-Gael man, a former member of camp 20, who had been present at the meeting, but had taken no part in the deiil erations, which ended in the order for Cronin's assassination. He will he' carefully guarded by the police to prevent anyone from tampering with him, but be will not be arrested and no sign will be made by the officers that would indicate to the conspirators that he was under the protection of the police. There is a growing belief on the part of the authorities that Dan Coughlin was the chosen chief executioner of the tribunal's Eentence, and that, knowing his fellow camp members thoroughly, it was an easy matter to select the prisoner, Burke, and the suspect, Cooney, or ' 'Simons," and it was no hard work for him to secure the permission of O'Sullivan to the fixing of the neat job by which Dr. Cronin was lured away to the place of assassination. Senior Guardian John F. Feggs was found by a reporter in the company of Harry Jordan. Mr. Beggs declared that the latest story about camp 20 of the Clan-na-Gael was a monstrous fib, and said: "I only hope some Clan-ra-Gael man Is 'squealing,' as they call it, for then I will be set right. I have been getting the worst of it all along in this case. If I have made some mistakes I have been struggling hard to get a good footing, and just when I see the light of day tbis thing comes upon me. Of course I am senior guardian of camp 20, but such things as they charge against that or any other camp of the Clan-na-Gael are absurd and impossible. If any one can tell me the object of the order I would like to learn it. For two years it has had no purpose. You just went to the meetings, paid 59 cents for monthly dues, heard some fellow sing a song, some other fel ow make a speech, and then went home con­ vinced that another great step had been taken in the cause of Ireland. That's all there has been to the Clan-na-Gael." "How about the alleged trial of Cronin before the 'inner circle' or Camp 20?' "It's bosh. There's 110 such thing as ac 'inner circle.' Anybody can prefer a charge against any member of the order and the member will be tried be fore a com­ mittee of seven. The man charged is always notified and is given the benefit of counsel. There never was any trial of Cronin in camp 20. It is true that Cooney, Burke, Coughlin, and Sullivan were members of the camp, and that three of them are behind the I are. while the other ran away from town. Two thirds of the ir.embers of the camp were warm friends of Dr. Cronin, and I, was always his friend." "Do you expect to be indicted?" . "No. I have full confidence in tlti itt tolligence of the grand jury." "Did you know Burke" "Yes, and tried to get him work when his clotnes were falling off his back last winter. Because I was president o' the Irish-Ameri an Republican club I was be* sieged by people who wanted positions and other favors. Burke was after me with the others, and that is one of the reasons my name is mixed up with his now." COCUHL1X IN COURT, Be and HI* Wllow-Su«peet« Arraigned! and Tlielr (.'«»<» Continued. CHICAGO, June 21. --Ex-Detective Dan Coughlin, Frank Woodiuff and P. O'Sulli­ van were brought before Judge Sliepard this morning at the request of Assistant State's Attorney Neely to learn whether they desired to be tried this term of court. As soon as Judge Shepard asked the question Coughlin walked f rw&rd. "I wish to say, your honor," he said, "that my lawyer, Mr. Forrest i< too busy to attend to my case at this term of court. I would like td have it continued." "I)o you, too, desire a continuance," asked the judge, turning to O'Sullivan and Woodruff. "I am ready for trial now," said Wood­ ruff. "I am also ready," aswered O'Sulli­ van. "I would like to have tbe case go oa now." "Well, your honor, I do not think it best to separate the cases. I do not wish to continue one case and not the others," said Mr. Neeley. "Perhaps it would be bsit to remand the prisoners."

A Fremont (Ohio) dispatch' of the 25th says: Mrs. HaJ-es died at 6:30 o'clock this morning of paralysis, with which she was stricken down the previous Friday. Mrs, Hayes' maiden name was Lucy Ware Webb. She Wflus born 'Aug. 28, 18*11, at Chillicothe, Ohio, and was the youngest child and only daughter of Dr. James Webb and Maria Cook. Her grandfather, Judge Isaac" Cook, came from Connecticut in 1781, and he, together with all of her great-grAndfatbers, served in the revolt* tdonary War. Her father served in the war of 1812, and during the cholera aeourge in Lexington, Ky.. in 188S. Her mother, Maria Cook Webb, was • woman of great force of j character and deep religious convictions. She removed to Delaware to have her son educated at the Ohio Wesleyan university, and her daughter received the benefit of the same instruction and was afterward graduated at the Wesleyan Female seminary at Cin­ cinnati in 1852. Mrs. Hayes was married Dec. 18, 1852. At the breaking out of the rebellion her husband and both of her brothers immediately entered the army, #nd from that time until the' close of the £war her home was a refuge for wounded, sick, and furloughed soldiers, going to or returning from the front. She spent two winters in camp with her husband in Vir­ ginia, and after the battle of South Moun­ tain, where he was badly wounded, she hastened east and joined him at Middle- town, Md., and later spent much time in the hospital near Frederick City. After the close of the war she accom­ panied her husband to Washington while he was a member of Congress. She was one of the originators of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors' Orphans' home, and was on its board of directors before it passed into the hands of the State. While her hus­ band was Governor of Ohio she took an active interest in all the charitable In­ stitutions of the State. During the four years of her life at the White House • she was distinguished by thfl graceful cordiality with which she received all who came t* her. Since the retirement of her husband from public life she has I een an ardently inter­ ested member of the Woman's Ilalicf corps, and has served during successive years as president of the Woman's Home Missionary society of the Methodist Epis­ copal church. She has been an honorary member of the Society of the Army of West Virginia, the medal of which had been presented to her by the soldiers.

POISONED AT A PICNIC. Fifty Prostrated, Fourteen Beyond Be- covery. TORONTO, Ont>, June 26.--Through the parsimony of a Woodstock druggist, wbo is now hiding in the woods in fear of his life, fifty people were poisoned at a picnio near there and it is thought that fourteen of them may die. Woodstock is a small village in the township of Zorra. On Saturday the farmers of that county gave n monster picnic in WiJitt's grove, about two miles from the town. All was jollity until the picnickers were about to start for (home, when suddenly a Miss Shaw, who was dancing on one of the platforms, fell, in a fib Friends had hardly started to apply restoratives when two other young ladies^ w<ere similiarly seized. The sudden interruption of the festivities caused very general alarm, which was intensive I to horror when almost immediately others of the gather­ ing to the number of fifty were stricken. Several doctors were with the plcknicker.-, and these, with others who was hastily summoned from the town, attended the sufferers. Noting the symptoms, the doctors at once pronounced it a case of poisoning. An investigation proved that only those who had partaken freely of the lemonade had been atta ked, and the poisoning was read­ ily traced to this source It was discov­ ered that the confectioner who had furnished tbe drink, in order to save lemons, hid used in its concoction what he believed to be tartaric acid. Some of the powder which he had purchased from the new druggist remained, and on examina­ tion it was found to bo sugar of lead, which had been iold in mistake for the harmless ingredient. The rage of the peo­ ple almost amounted to madness, which they determined to vent upon" Druggist Alexander, who was a stranger. A crowd quick v gather d and marched to his store. The shop was locked. A plank was torn from the sidewalk and used as a battering ram. The door was quickly broken down and tbe maddened men en­ tered. There was no one in the store, but this did not decrease thdr rage, and in a few minutes the stock in trade of the druggist was scattered all over the strset. Alexander, having seen the angry crowd approaching, had made good his escape from a ba.'k entrance and fled to • the woods. _ Although the majority of those poisoned are slowly recovering from tbe effects of the deadly minera', fourteen of the num­ ber are reported to be dying, all being in a state of collapse, from which efforts of the physicians bate <0 far failed to revive them. . . Finding that Alexander had made his escape one of the citizens lodged a com­ plaint against him, and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. As he is thought to be in hiding in the woods back of • Woodstock a number of specials were sworn in and sent out to search for • and ...arrest him. " A crowd was started after ! the specials with the openly avowed lnten- t»no£c*ptUFjn$ife di.uggiif _ and lynch- jg£v|Nun» BY. DR. FBANE. Even those of the strongest miods: are at tunes singularly inclined to think themselves, the victims of disease. 1 Considering the fact that ec>nsuiaj>- tion is popularly believed to be incur­ able, and that of its causes, nature and symptoms but little is generally known, it is not surprising that it is one of our- mbst common imaginary afflictions. A 5 cough which is not soon recovered from suggests that dire disease; so. too, does ! a pain in the chest, and a variety of ; other symptoms, which, taken alone, are comparatively insignificant. Could all the popular delusions con­ cerning consumption be dispelled, sad , [ it be better understood, generally, much ] of the unhappiness now existing, excited by the fear of it, would be dissipated; ' and not only that, but fewer cases of the1 malady would occur. ' Everything which appears to affect1 the health of mankind has been alleged to be a cause of pulmonary consumption,, such as deficiency and poor quality of food, lack of pure air, light, warmth,. ? and exercise; in fact, everything which impairs the nutrition of the body, in.- duces impoverishment of the blood, or 1 depresses the nervous system. This fo true. The waste of vital power, no matter how produced, leaves the system • in a condition peculiarly susceptible to> consumption; it invites that disease. But those unhealthy influences air®- j not considered by physicians of the- present day to "be actual exciting causes. 1 They are held to be contributing causes, while the direct and real exciting cause- ) of consumption is a germ. Now, this germ, in order for it to- thrive and do its destructive work, needs a peculiar soil, as it were. If in­ troduced into the organism of a healthy > person, it would not multiply, but ? would die. If, however, that same J person's general health were impaired, either by overwork, disease, excessive indulgences, or as a consequence of be- ing denied good and sufficient food,pure air, etc., then he would be in just such a condition as the germ of consumption needs for its growth and multiplication. He is, as physicians term it, in a condi­ tion of "susceptibility." This peculiar , condition may not only be acquired by errors of habit, etc., but it may also ex­ ist in a person at his birth. It is gfta- ; erally the inheritance of children of J consumptive parents, but the parents, may not necessarily have had that dim- ease t<> transmit a susceptibility to oon- sumption. If either of them are syphi­ litic, or suffer from any malignant dis­ ease, or have what is termed a scroful­ ous constitution, their children are i quite likely to come into the world stamped with a decided tendency to consumption. From all this it will be i understood that delicacy of constitution, peculiar to the whole system or to vari­ ous important parts, either inherited or acquired, may be considered as a pre- ' disposing cause of consumption. Accepting this theory, then, as the' ! most reasonable, these must be present j in every instance before the disease oap be brought into existence. Nom-. almost every one who has had a severe cold and neglected it, and, ia 1 consequence, has been troubled for « some weeks with a cough, becomes un­ easy and fears consumption. It is true, ; that, by permitting his trouble to run < on, he has allowed his system to fall into a condition which makes it easier for him to have the disease; and, yet, as a matter of fact, very few cases, in­ deed, of that grave malady ever occujr in that way, from that cause. Again-- almost everyone who has pneumonia, is for a long time after recovery, fearful of consumption. He certainly has very : little reason to apprehend that. Pneu- j monia seldom terminates in disease of ; the lungs; in fact, he who has it and * recovers, makes an absolute and entire recovery, and his lungs are left just as J sound and healthy as before attack, A further consideration of this subject will be given next week. -- Yankee Blade. . * A Novel Religious Custom. -v* AH oyer Siberia, writes George itSSas--'- nan, it is the custom of tlie natives when they cross the top of a high hill or mountain to make a proprietory offer­ ing to the spirits of storm and tempest. In the extreme northeastern part of Sir beria these offerings consist generally of tobacco and are thrown out on the : ground in front of some prominent and noticeable rock; but in the Trans- : Baikal the Buriats and Mongols are ac- ; customed to pile a heap of stones beside the road, erect thereon half a dozeft rods or poles and suspend fjrom the lat­ ter small pieces of their clothing. Every pious traveler who passes a shrine of this sort on the summit of a mountain i» expected to alight from his vehicle or : dismount from his horse, tear off a little piece of his kaftan or his shirt, hang it up on dhe of these poles and sav a, prayer. As a result of this ceremonial, every shrine presents to the traveler a sort of tailor's collection of scraps and remnants of cloth of every conceivable kind, quality, and color, fluttering to- i the wind from slender poles ^ that look ^ like hastily improved fishing rods. > Theoretically this custom would seem to be not wholly without its advantages. If a native was familiar with the cloth­ ing of his friends he could always tell by a-simple inspection of one of these • shrines who had lately passed that way* and, if necessary, he could trace any particular person from hilltop to hilltop ; by the stripes of his shirt or the frayed ; edges of liis trousers left hanging on the* stone-ballasted fishing rods as an offer- $ ing to the mighty gods of the Siberian tempests. In practice, however, this might not be feasible, unless one could remember all the old clothes of the person whom> one wished to trace, and all the ances­ tral rags and tatters of that person's family. From a careful examination that we made of a number of shrines we became convinced that every pious Buriat keeps a religious ragbag, which he carries with him wlien he travels, and to which he has recourse whenever it becomes necessary to decorate the- ; sacred fishing poles of the storm gods. I am sure that such miserable, decayed, scraps and tatters of raiment as we saw fluttering in the wind over the shrines between Seletigkisk and Kiaklita never could have been cut or torn from garments that were actually in wear. - It Might Distract His Attention.
