OVEK THE HANK.

FonT AV.NI:, Ir,d Feb. 2S.—The east-bound mail and express No. 20 on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago road, clue here at I2:-10 p. m., was wrecked 2 miles east of Columbia City about, 11:110 a. m. by a broken rail. The engine, mail and baggage cars passed safely over the break, but the last two cars were precipitated down an embankment '20 feet high, the cars turning entirely over. One poison was killed and twenty dangerously worn.tied. Several of the latter will die.

The let lint*.

The nnme of the passenger killed is John W. Paramotire,of Hebron, Ind. The injured were all brought to this city, where they are being eared for. The list is as follows:

Story of the AVreeU.

The cars rolled down a rocky embankment 20 feet high. The last ear in the train was reduced to kindling wood and took fire, 'the flames were quenched by men who were in the smoking car. They threw snow on the dames and carried water in their hats and the buckets found on the train. Nearly every passenger in the two coaches was hurt and it was a horrible sight to see them crawling out from among the splinters, all covered with blood.

The accident was caused by a broken rail. The rim on a driving wheel of the locomotive came off and broke the rail. The train ran over the bridge on the tics, and the two rear cars left the track BOO feet further on. Mr. l'aramottre, the man who was killed, was on his way to Fort Wayne 1o see his brother-in-law, Engineer Knode, who is lying at the point of deutli in the St. Joseph hospital from the effects of a smash-up on the same railroad at Monroevillc, Ind., last Friday.

A Had Wreck.

PniLADKU'iiiA, Fob. 23.—The southern express on the l'ennsylvania road which left Broad street station at 10:20 a. m. collided with the Morton accommodation train near South street station, West Philadelphia. Three cars of the accommodation train were wrecked. A rumor gained wide circulation that the special train bearing President Harrison from Washington to New York was one of the trains in collision. This, however, was untrue. The president's special passed through here for New York about ou schedule time.

The Collision.

The Morton train was crossing a switch to pull into South street station. All tlio cars but the last one had Grossed when the southern express came rushing down the track and struck the local passenger car that was upon the switch full in the middle. The express was made up entirely of heavy Pullmans and tho light passenger car was hurled 50 feet from the track, biokcn and smashed by the terrible force of the blow. The express train escaped injury.

Four Killed.

The crash of the colliding trains and the screams and shrieks of the unfortunate people pinned down beneath the broken timbers of the wrecked car attracted an excited crowd to the scene. Five persons were killed and a dozen injured. The hurt were hurried to the University hospital, two blocks awaj', and their injuries attended to.

The killed were Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Minzer, of Media Miss Maria Read, of Media Rev. James Walker, of Lenny.

The men were riding in tiie caboose of the Lnird section of an east-bound stock train, which was to meet a west-bound extra at Ilaveloek. The stock train was standing at the depot, but the engineer of the extra failed to head in on the switch. Fearing a collision tho engiueer of the stock train reversed his engine and then leaped off.

A milo and a half west of Ilaveloek tho train ran into tho third section of the stock train, killing eigliteon head of cattle and smashing tho cab and six cars. There were eighteen stock men in the cab, but none are believed to be fatally hurt. Seven were brought to the city and their injuries dressed.

not more than two dozen members in attendance when the house met. After the disposal of some routine business, Mr. Henderson (N.

WINTKK DOWN K.\ST.

NKW YORK,

Feb. 211.—Throughout

this state, New England and Pennsylvania a fierce blizzard raged Wednesday. In this city snow fell eoiUinuouly from Tuesday night until 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when the snowfall gave place to a gale which banked and drifted the snow in disagreeable quantities in many of the streets. Throughout the state train service in many localities is suspended and the roads are entirely abandoned.

At CatsUill, Hudson and Saugerties the streets arc practically deserted and Lhe roads leading to the surrounding country are impassable. Railroad communication has been interrupted on all lines leading to Kingston. Trains are. stalled on the. Ulster Si Delaware and Wallkill Valley railroads, the rock cuts, of which there are many on both of these roads, being tilled wit snow to a depth of from 8 to 10 feet. On the latter mad trains have beeu unable to go beyond Forest 0len since Saturday last, owing to the filling of a cut, and the present storm has made matters much worse. or*t Storm of (lie Sen^on.

All the regular trains on the Uoston & Albany railroad have been abandoned. From all over the state reports of damage are coming in aud the storm is pronounced the worst one of the season. In New England a like condition of things is reported. A perfect blizzard blew all day at Vergennea, VtM the roads are blocked, business is generally suspended and the drifts in the streets are from 4 to i? feet deep.

From Dover. N. IL, the storm is reported as terrible. A high wind prevailed and 11 inches of snow fell since 8 o'clock. The electric road between here and Somersworth has been blocked and it has beeu impossible to get it open. All trains have doubleheaders and even then are over au hour late. A snow plow from Portland got stuck here and had to be shoveled out.

Trnltie Made Impossible.

At Hartford. Conn., the fall was over a foot. There was considerable suo«v on the ground before. All trainman? delayed and a complete block is now expected. Many trains arc overdue. No ears are being run on the electric line between Hartford and Fast Hartford and (.Slasionhury.

At Lowell, Mass.. 15 iiuhes of snow fell up to noon an 1 business is lied up. Kleetriccar men worked all night to keep the tracks clear, but at 8 o'clock n. m. gave up the effort. Cars were blockod along the various routes and horses pulled them to the stations. The storm will be more disastrous than the' March bli/.zard of four years ago.

Deep snow in IVmiKylvania. In Pennsylvania matters are even worse. A Scranton dispatch says that, the mantle of snow which now envelopes northeastern Pennsylvania measures 80 inches on the level, 10 inches being added to the fall by a storm which begun Tuesday evening. Railroads everywhere are blockaded and no trains whatever have passed over the Jefferson branch of the Delaware »fe Hudson gravity railroad lo^. Honesdale this week. owing to.Sunday night's blizzard, and the present storm adds further to the blockade. Fears of danger from drifts 011 the Pocono mountains are pitttinir the Delaware, Lackawami Western railroad people 011 their guard. Belief trains, with hundreds of section hands, shop employes and mine workmen were sent out to assist in raising blockades. They were atnplv provisioned so as to relieve passengers on any trains thai may be stalled. The? deep snow has forced idleness at every mine in this section of the anthracite legion.
