elevation to the chair of Peter by the free euffraot bis fallow members of the College of Cardinals. U of itself sufficient proof of his piety, eal end profound learning. During bis year in the papacy ho has verified tba correctness of this high estimate of him, and perhaps In no worldly aspect mora than in his dignified and masterly diplomacy In dealing with the powers of Europe. To be celled upon, as he has been, to arbitrate serious differences between Germany and Spain, which task he has accomplished to the satisfaction of both powers, and this, too. at the suggestion of Protestant Germany, is a high tribute to his justice and statesmanship, and is a resurrecting of the good old times when the Popes settled all anestions of moment between kings, emperors and potentates, and dispensed justice even-handed to all, thereby rendering most glorious and peaceful the reign of God's Church in the world. Scarcely lees noted, and certainly not less commendable, is his dealing with the ever-pres-ent and all-absorbing Irish question. Leo XIII is the friend of Ireland; not because Ireland is Catholic and he is Pope, but because her cause U just, and he is a lorer of justice. Impelled by justice alone he has summoned Irish bishops to Rome to learn from them the true causes of Irish discontent. He has listened patiently and attentively to their statements, and then dismissed them with gifts, sending his apostolie blessing to their flocks. When his time could not be entirely given ud to private audiences on the Irish question he bridged the difficulty by ending a representative to Ireland in the person of Mgr. Persico to obtain additional information for him. so that he might be the better able to act intelligently and justly in the case. Jlgr. Persico's report has not been made public as yet, notwithstanding newspaper articles to the contrary; nor has the Holy Father spoken officially on the question. But when the report is published and Leo XIII speaks, it will be found that Rome is for Ireland, and that the Pope will bring her deplorable condition to the attention of the civilized governments of the world. Leo XIII will then be the savior of Christian Ireland of our day, just as St. Patrick was the savior and Christianizer of pagan Ireland mote than 1,400 years ago. Mr. Carrs remarks were, received with much enthusiasm, especially by the natives of Ireland present, who. at the close of his remarks, gave three cheers for the Pope and the Irish cause. There was mora music, this time furnished by the ehoir from tba Sacred Heart Church, and then followed a short address in German by Mr. George Wolf, of St. Mary's congregation, lie spoke of the unity of Catholicism, the universal good will existing at the present time, and regarded the celebration of the Pope's golden jubilee is an event that would tend to restore the temporal power of the Pone. His remarks, like those of the other speakers, were heartily applauded. The address of Mr. Wolf ended the speaking, and the audience was then entertained by some excellent musie by the ehoirs of Sacred Heart and St. Bridget churches. The jubilee reached Its climax when the 4,000 people were asked to stand and joined in the grand Te Deum. At its close Bishop Cbatard impressively implored the blessings of God on the Pope, tba whole Catholic Church, and theldiocese ot Vincennes in particular, and the .audience was dismissed. Celebrations Elsewhere. St. PauIh Jan. L The Cathedral was packed to the doors to-day, the occasion being the celebration of the Pope's jnbilee. A solemn mass with orchestral aceompainment was celebrated by the pastor, Rer. John Shanley. The eulogy of Leo XIII, by Bishop Ireland, was an eloquent . 1 1 TT- - a .1 t ! .

ana masteny enor- no reviewed mo msiury and depicted the power of the papacy, and warm- ' ly praised the present Pope for his profound learning, untiring energy and splendid talents. Ha declared that the Pope is an ardent admirer of America, in which he beholds a land - where the civilization of the future is to be developed, and which presents a model to all other nations in itsjliberal government and unrivaled Constitution. The Pope strongly symathizes with the working classes. The Bishop declared that the solution of the vexed Roman question is at hand, and will be met in the broadest spirit by the Pope, who is not as anxious for large territorial limits as he is to have a certain territory, of which be mav be the sole sovereign. The Bishop closed with an earnest appeal to his Protestant fellow citizens fito make the history and character of the Catholic Church a study. There were special services and eulogies of the Popa in all the other churches of the diocese to-day, by order of the bishop. Philadelphia, Jan. 1. The golden jnbilee of Pope Leo XIII was celebrated with elaborate ceremonies in the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in this city to-day. The heavy rain-fail had no effect on the attendance, and when the solemn pontifical mass began the vast building was tilled to the doors. The Rev. Alexander A. Gallagher was the celebrant of the mass. The musical portion of tha services was very elaborate. POPE LEO'S CAREER. Ancestry, Parentage and Education of the Pontiff LIU Diplomacy. Joachim Vincent Raphael Lodovico Pecci first saw the light in the ancient mountain town of Carpineto, an "eagle's nest," as the brother of the Pope termed it, on a lofty spur of tha Apennines. From tha earliest historical age this ejrie in tha mountains had been a fortress of contending nations, where Roman, and Volscjan, and later combatants for the mastery of Italy struggled with varying fortunes. Tha Pecci belonged to a noble Siennesa family who favored tha Medici and their successful efforts to bend Sienna to tha yoke of Florence, and hence tha favors which tha Pecci received at the hands of tha Medician Pope, Clement VII. The part taken against their fellow-citizens by the Pecci compelled the emigration of the family into tba States of the Church, and they settled at Carpineto, where, in their mountain fastness, they were comparatively secure from the hatred and vengeance of their countrymen, and gradually grew and flourished under the fostering shadow of Rome. The father of Pope Leo XIII served under tha great Napoleon, among the Italian levies of tha Corsican. He was fortunate in every sense in his marriage, his wife being rich .in property, as well as in womanly virtues, and tha illustrious careers of their children are doubtless largely the result of excellent early training. Leo XIII was born March 2, 1810. It was a dark time for the papacy, Italy being then under the beel of Napoleon, and Pope Pins VII a prisoner and divested of his temporal power. The clouds lifted, however, in 1814, when, as one resnlt of Napoleon's overthrow. Pope Pius returned to hie sovereignty. ' He at once restored the Society of jmqi, which had been suppressed by Clement XIV. and to the Jesuits the Count and Countess Pecci intrusted the education of the future Pope. The young scholar early showed bis proficiency in Latin verse, and bis purity of character was as notable as his deTotion to study. His mother kept a close supervision over the boy, and was deeply gratified by the reports and the evidence of his progress. Before his collegiate studies were completed, however, death deprived him of that tender and devoted parent. In the year 1824 Leo XII restored the Roman College to the Jesuits, and among the students who thronged to its halls was yonng Vincent Pecci. His brother Joseph had already cast bis lot with the Jesuits. In the printed list ot prizes for the scholastic year 1623 Vincent's name is recorded for the first prize in physics and chemistry, and for the first accessit for mathematical physics. He was selected to defend against all objectors theses embracing the entire ld of philosophy the highest distinction that could at that stage of his university career be conferred upon him. He was also unanimously selected to bead a deputation of students in the presentation of an address of thanks to Pone Leo XII. Instead of joining the Jesuits, like his brother, he selected the secular priesthood and was matriculated in 1830 as a divinity student of the Gregorian University. In 1832 the voung student entered tlfa acad emy or college for noble ecclesiastics, the nur sery ot all destined for a diplomatic or administrative career under the papal government. There ha was educated in civil and ecclesiastical jurisprudence, as well as thelogy. In 1835 he won a prize of $132 by a thesis on tha subject of "Immediate Appeals to the uoman routin in Person." Meantime Pius VIII and Gregory XVI follow ed Leo XII on the papal tirone. Pius Vlli recognized tha merits of Pecci by more than ona mark of regard. When Gregory Mme to wear the triple crown Cardinal Pacea warmly recommended young Pecci to his notice, and tha new Pore appointed Joachim in January, 1837, ona of bis domestic prelates. Pecci left the academy and went to reside with his uncle, Antonio, in Muti Palace. On March 16 ha was appointed referendary to the court of Srgnatura and was soon afterwards given a place among the prelates of the Congregation di Buocgoverno, charged with tha financial administration of all the com manes of the Papal States. The Asiatic cholera was sweeping over Italy. Mgr. Pecci. not being yet in priest's orders. could net minister to tha spiritual wants and eorcfort of the plague-stricken, but he was aetive and devoted in assisting his chief, Cardi nal Sala, in his important work of superintendence over the cholera hospitals. It may have baeu due to his anxiety to serve the sick and dving in a priestly character that, on Nov. 13 of that memorable year, he received auQ-aeaoon

shin and deaconshio at tha hands of Cardinal

Odesealehi, tbe Pope's vicar-general, in the chapel of St. Stanislaus Kostka, in the church of "St. Andrew on tba QuirinaL" On tha last day of that same year 1837 Cardinal Odesealehi. in tha private chapel of his residence, in tha vicariate, conferred tha order of priesthood on Joachim Pecci. It is to celebrate tba fiftieth anniversary of this evsnt that tba Catholia world has been , preparing for many months past. uregory ji.vi.in ma c eoruary loiiowmg, appointed the yonng priest delegate or Governor of tba province of Benevento, a small principality of tha Papal States, noted mora for tha distinguished men who have taken titles from it than for any event in its otherwise obscure though troublous history. Talleyrand took his title of Prince, bestowed by Napoleon L from Benevento, and tha shifting about from the rule of Pope to Emperor, and back again to Pope, with the changes involvsd in laws and religious regulations, had not been condueiva to tha happiness ot the little community. To bring back order from chaos was tba task devolving upon tha future Pope. Ha had hardly arrived in his new government, however, when he was stricicen down by a malignant fever, and for a time his life was despaired of. Tbe citizens of the place made a procession to a sanctuary of tha Virgin, near Benevento, to make special supplication for their noble young Governor, whose excellent qualities had already endeared htm to them, and the rector of the Jesuit College. Father Tessandori, joined earnestly in the pray ers offered up. The Pope also had daily prayers offered in Rome, and contrary to the judgment of tbe physicians, JU.gr. Pacci pagan to improve. His first act upon recovery was to lay the cor ner-stone of a new church in honor of "Our Lady of Graces." While gentle and kind to the poor and suffering, Monsignor Pecci soon proved that ha could lav a heavy band on law-breakers, and with a strong arm he suppressed the brigandage which waa the greatest affliction or .Benevento. ins community awoke one morning to see tbe leading brigand chief in chains, guarded by pontifi cal soldiers, and a wholesome example was given by the infliction of the severest penalty. Tha young Governor was impartial in his severity, when justice required severity. Neither influence nor wealth could save a crim inal otherwise undeserving of mercy, and order and confidence rapidly revived under his wise and firm administration. Ha also compelled political refugees from Nsples to quit the pontif ical territory, and thus prevented a complication between the Papal and Neapolitan govern ments. Mcr. Pecei was recalled from tha little prov ince of Benevento into 1S41 and appointed delegate or Governor of the important province of Spoleto. Ha was sent to Perufta. then a center of democratic agitation, and of revolutionary secret societies. His first work was thoroughly practical He converted the principal road into the city from being almost impassable for vehicles to be a broad and well-paved thoroughfare. Then he visited every community of tha prov ince, corrected abuses, removed eorrupt or unfaithful officials, and recommended to Rome reforms which he was himself unauthorized to effect. He remodeled tha town councils, united the courts of Perugia in one building, made jus tice speedy and effective, and quieted discontent by eradicating the grounds for it He also founded a savings-bank, himself contributing to tha capital. He promoted education and established schools accessible to tha poorest. Still in his thirty-third year, Mgr. Pecci was appointed apostolic nuncio at tha court of Belgium, with the titular dignity of Archbishop Damietta. He made a favorable impression on King Leopold; and in tbe struggle between secular and religious education, he strove to show the superiority of the religious method by making the religio'us schools better than the secular. King Leopold, himself a Protestant, greatly admired Peoci's tact and ability, remarking to him, "Really, Monsignor, yon are as clever a politician as you are an excellent churchman." Mar. Pecci snared no effort to encourage tne uainouc prelates to obtain from tha state recognition and support for denominational education. Iu 1845 ha was recalled from Brussels to be made Archbishop of Perugia. King Leopold deco rated him before his departure with tne grand cross of tba order founded by himself. On his wav back to Rome he visited London and Paris, and was well received in both capitals. Meantime Gregory XVI had died, and Pius IX ascended the papal throne in time for the exciting scenes which made his pontificate memorable. It was an era ol struggle and revo lution, and the wave did not subside before it had spread from one end of the Papal States to the other. But in Perugia the tact and wisdom of Archbisnop Pecci prevented a serious out break, and his personal interposition was sumcient to stay tbe rising tumult. He wisely pre vented the Austrian troops irom attempting to occupy tbe city and provoking the people by the pretence of foreign bayonets, and, thanks to his foresight and judgment. Umbria was spared calamities which overwhelmed less fortunate communities. Tba secret of his success was that the people believed in his sincerity and integrity. The storm passed with Perugia Tinaffected by its ravages and the Archbishop more firmly settled than ever in the esteem of his people. In 1853 Mgr. Pecci was created cardinal, taking his title from St. Cbrysogonus. This ancient Roman church had its origin in the time of Constantine, and was rebuilt in A. D. 731 by Gregory III. Cardinal Pecci continued to be Archbishop of Perugia nntil July, 1877, when be accepted tbe office of Cardinal camerlengo to Pius IX, a post involving presidency of the Apostolic Chamber, and the chief charge of the temporalities of the Holy See. Cardinal Pecci was also member of many of tbe sacred congregations. His Ufa was one round of duty. His habits were as simple as bis manners were captivating, and ha retained in maturity tha mental and bodily vigor of youth. It is the office of tbe camerlengo to render the last services to the dying Pontiff, to close bis eyes and to prove his death, according to tba old formula, and wban Plus IX sunk to rest in the capital of his former States, Cardinal Pecci waa the guardian over tha illustrious dead. On Feb. 20, 1878, Cardinal Pecci was elected, after three ballots, to be tba successor of Pius IX. He assumed the name of Lao XIIL in memory of Lao XII, for whom ha bad always had a peculiar veneration. His pontificate has been part of tha contemporary history of Europe and tha world. Tha ability which ha displaved in bis first little province of Benevento he has exhibited as ruler of tha Catholio Church. He accepted tha tiara under circumstances of peculiar difficulty. . His predecessor had been a temporal as well as a spiritual sovereign. Pope Leo received only the spiritual jurisdiction, tha former Papal States having been absorbed into the kingdom of United Italy. Pope Leo has eo managed affairs that, without surrendering any of bis claims to temporal sovereignty, he bas propitiated rather than antagonized the Italian government. In Germany, also, he has been successful in restoring harmony between the empire and the church, and in England and Ireland the opinion of the Pope on tbe troubles affecting those countries .has been influential for peace and a settlement of difficulties. Altogether, tha condition of tha Catholic Church, from a temporal stand-point, is immensely better to-day than when Leo XIII ascended tha papal throne. The Pontiff's Habits and Dally Idfe. Summer and winter the Popa rises at 6. His valet, Centra de Carpineto, knocks to awaken him, then opens the window and retires. Leo XIII, thereupon rises and dresses without aid. No one enters his room until he rings. At 7 ha says two masses, assisted by two of his six capellani segreti(secret chaplains), who are also his secretaries. After his return from chapel tbe Pope dictates verses in Latin or Italian, as composed by him during his wakeful hours of tbe night. After bis two masses he takes coffee and milk, with rolls without butter. Then his receptions begin. Generally the first reception is that of the Cardinal Secretary of State, who comes to submit papers received during the previous day. This audience, which laBts over an hour, does not take place on either Tuesdays or Fridays because on these days the diplomatic corps is received. Tbe Popa accords but few public audiences, differing from his predecessor in this respect. In tbe winter, if tbe weather is fine, be walks for half an hoar in the grounds of the Vatican. Ha dines at 1 o'clock, according to Roman fashion, unless bis audiences detain him. His dinner generally Is composed of soup, roast meat and simple vegetables; for desert nothing but fruit. He never eats boiled meat or cheese. His wine is always an old Bordeaux. He generally reads newspapers at his repast. Etiquette demands that he shall eat alone. When ha wishes to favor specially some Roman prince or great personage, he invites them to breakfast, that is to coffee after mass. But for this, one must have heard mas and received communion from his hands. Tbe same privilege is accorded to bis nephews. But in all these cases the invited are seated at a aeparate table, near tbe Pope. When Cardinal Seccl lived at the Vatican ha kept bis brother Leo XIII company at dinner. After dinner the Pope generally dozes for a short time in his easy chair. Then, if tba weather is pleasant, ha walks in tba garden. This walk is made in company with a lieutenant of tha Guards and a special attendant. He is fond of gardening, and often chats with the workmen there employed. On returning from his wain ha gives new audiences or else works with his secretaries. Towards 6 he takes a enp of beef tea with a small glass of Bordeaux. Ha resumes his audiences sometimes from 8 to 10, but sometimes remains alone, going over bis work for tbe morrow. At 10 be recites his rosary with Monsignor Morto-

lino, ona of bis secretaries, for whom he bas a special liking. Between 10 and half past be takes another cup of bouillon with some cold meat remaining from his dinner, and then goes to bed, every night at 11 precisely. He does not sleep very well when he has been much fatigued during tha day cr when the seasons ara changing. He is by natnra very nervous and extremely impressionable. This is so well known that many intriguing people know well how to make him hesitate or show embarrassment by sending him anonymous letters. When ba has important work in hand he shuts himself up alone, and often becomes so absorbed that ha constantly wipes his pen on tha sleeves of his white cassock. His valet always inspects the sleeves of his cassock before the audiences. When he has a private secretary engaged npon any important work ha gives him what ba wants, and then locks him up, visiting him every two hours or so to bring him refreshments and to inspect his work. He will not permit any one to enter his bedroom when he is not there. He always locks its door when he goes .out. It is probably on account of the papers he leaves behind scattered on the floor and even over tbe bed. Ha is an indefatigable worker, and occasionally, when absorbed, bas to be reminded when bis bedtime bas arrived. He is at times unreasonable in his demands upon his assistants. One morning be asked one of his secretaries to prepare a report npon the Catholic schools of Rome, with the number of pupils, the progress they had made, the hours of study, the classes to which tbey belonged, their ages and positions, and tha occupation of their parents. This report he required to be furnished that evening. The secretary timidly ventured to suggest that as there art 150 separate schools and some 15,000 pupils ba would need more time. "That is just." said the Pope; "take until tha day after to-morrow." The Pope is an enthusiastic botanist, and often personally instructs hia head gardener. He is also fond of talking with noblemen of his guard, because they, being young and in the best Roman society, know everything going on. As the Pope never goes out of the Vatican, he learns from his guardsmen all tha news of Rome. He is very frugal and sober. When ne was elected Pope it is related of him that when he first sat down to dinner as Pope he found an extra dish on the table not ordered by him. The servant, when called, explained that this extra dish was prepared in honor of his election. The Pope then said: "Do you think I can eat more as Pope than as Cardinal? Don't let this occur again. I shall regulate my own stomach." Leo XIII affords striking evidence of tha wisdom of a regular and sober regimen. In his youth he was delicate and oftau his lifa was in danger. When he wa3 elected Pope it was believed that he would not live long. He did not think so himself. But he has been Pope for tan years and is now in good health, although not strong. On the next day after his election his nephews called to congratulate him and to pay their respects. "Ah, well," said he, "then you are satisfied to see your uncle elected to the papal sovereignty. However, do not forget one thing I will never be a papal nepotist. If some of my predecessors have enriched their families, be sure that I will not imitate them." He has kept his word. After having spent only a few bnndred thousand francs in rebuilding the palace of his family, he has disbursed millions of francs upon hospitals, benevolent institutions and churches at Carpineto, his native place. One of the most remarkable of the institutions endowed byhis private purse is an asylum for poor children. Now he is preoccupied with procuring a better water supply for Carpineto. Three engineers employed by the Pope are preparing for heavy expenditures in this direction. OBITUARY.

THE COLLISION AT GREENWOOD.

Later Reports Show that Six Persons Were Killed and a Large Number Badly Injured. Lexington, Ky., Jan. LA collision on the Cincinnati Southern railway took place ona mile south " Greenwood, Ky., on a sixty-foot embankn.y, midway between Tunnels 7 and 8. Tba following ara tha killed: Lea Withrow, baggage-master, Ludlow, Ky., head crushed and throat cut with iron bar; James Severens, postal clerk. Stanford. Ky., concussion of brain, died to-night; T. Candee, fireman. Chattanooga, Tenn., thrown on top of tbe fire-box of train No. 1 and contents of tbe fire-box of train No. 2 emptied on him, burning his body to a crisp; Lawrence Callan, baggagemaster, Ludlow, Ky., body crushed under tba smoker; W. B. PowelL express messenger. Mad isonviile, O., crushed under the wreck; Miss Jessie Green, Chattanooga, skull crushed, died at Greenwood. Among the injured ara: Mr. and Mrs. Avey, Covington, Ky., scalded and inhaled steam, will both probably die, taken to Covington to-night; Sam Shrnmm, conductor, internally injured; J. B. Gibson, Cincinnati, en route home from Florida, badly scalded, face and hands, probably fatal; Joe Noland, colored porter train No. 2. laceration of hip and hands; Wm. D. Michaels, engineer of No. 2, who jumped from tba engine, sprained an ankle, hand scalded and cheek gashed; Pat Taylor, ot Somerset, Ky., engineer . of No. 1, bruised and suffering from concussion, badly hurt; Pat Murphy. Junction City, Ky. , fireman of No. 1, leg broken below knee; W. T. Roberts, Riceville, Tenn., mail service, leg and arm broken; W. E.

Ludlow, jtvy., brakeman, cut and scalded; J. E. Campbell, Hanoverton, O., scalded, face, neck and bands. In addition to the above, train No. 2, which came north this evening, carried to Cincinnati five or six badly injured passengers. These passengers were in the boudoir car, and the railroad officials refused to allow the Associated Press reporter access to them or to give their names or injuries. Dr. Reddish, of Frankfort, in -charge of the Greenwood coal miners, left Greenwood with the wounded and the body of Miss Green for Cincinnati. A later train followed, carrying all the dead except Miss Green, who was left at Somerset. Very shortly after tha collision a wrecking-train left Somerset in charge ot Superintendent W. W. Wells, carrying Dr. L. J. Owens and all the Somerset physicians for the scene of the disaster. Two earn, the mail and baggage of No. 1, took fire and burned. At tbe time of the crash Withrow and Jack son were talking in the baggage-car, when tbe car split open from end to end, the mail-car and smoker shooting over them, the other cars cutting loose and dropping back down the grade. It is reported that an unknown passenger was crushed and burned in the water-closet of train No. 2. Mr. Avey, of Covington, threw his wife through a window and jumped out after her. both rolling down tbe embankment. Tbe col lision was caused by conductor Shrnmm mis reading orders delivered to him at Winneld. He mistook Summit for Somerset, and hurried his train down the grade at fifty mile an hour to make tha point, probably running at that speed when the collision occurred. After the collision , conductor Bennett ran up to Shrumm and said: "I m not to blame for this, read your orders and see." Shrumm took out bis orders, and looking carefully, threw up his hands, exclaiming: "Ob, my God! I have made a mistake." Sharkey Withers, formerly of this city, but now of Edwards, Miss., was on the train, going south, and made this statement: "We left Somerset half an honr late, and we were running about thirty miles an hour, up grade. I was in tbe coach next in front of the sleeper, close to the front door, when a shrill whistling alarmed me. I ran out on tbe platform and was pitched down an embankment of fifty feet. I jumped up and went to work. We helped to extricate the victims. I helped to take out tbree alive, two dead; one of them, Pat Murphy, I helped to dig out of the mud, into which be was jammed nearly up to his arm-pits. Tbe next man we got out was an express messenger, who was crushed under tba trucks; next, a baggage-man, who was under the tender of No. 1. We could hear his groans, and dug him out. He died in an hour. Then we got tha injured man out of the mail car of No. 1. Withrow died In a few minutes after he was put on the relief train. Postal agent James Severens, who was appointed one month ago, lay at one end of his car, blood streaming from his mouth. We reached Somerset at 10 p. m. Withrow 's dead body was laid in the baggage-room, and the injured on our train were placed in tbe hotel." The baggage car and smoker of No. 2 rolled down the embankment. Tbe ladies' car of this train was thrown on the engine, the inmates being thereby scalded. Joe Hepp stated that a young couple that bad got on at Chattanooga were badly cut and scalded. Tha regular passing point of Nos. 1 and 2 is Flat Rock, just south of the wreck. The two engines collided with such force that they were impacted together, the boilers shattering and discharging all their contents in a few minutes. An attempt to pull the engines apart failed, and they were rolled over the embankment to clear tbe track.

This morning a westbound freight train on the Pennsylvania Central railroad stopped near Bennington Station, twelve miles west of Altoona. The flag brakeman either neglected to attend to his duty or was too slow in getting to his position, six hundred yards in tba rear. As a consequence, the Pacific Express, consisting of sleeping cars and passenger coaehes, cama thundering up the mountain, hauled by two engines, and seeing no sign of the train ahead until it was too late, crashed into the rear of the freight. Engineer Langeofelder and fireman Wadley, of the first engine, saw their danger and jumped, but ' they did not escape entirely, as theyf received several bruises. Tbe engineer and fireman of the freight pusher were not so lucky. The engineer, whose name is Decker, was caught between the tender and engine. His right leg was terribly crushed and his body burned by escaping steam. John Alexander, the fireman, was seriously hurt internally. Five freight cars, including tbe caboose, were wrecked. - INDIANA. AND ILLINOIS. How a Crawfordsville Medical Lecturer Sueceeded in Obtaining: a Skeleton. Special to the Jidianaoolig Journa.1. Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 1. Not many months since a doctor returned to his home in this city from a tour of the South, and, it seems, that he brought with him the corpse of a negro, he having in view the skeleton of the colored man. The body was in a barrel, which stood in the baek yard for several weeks. Then the barrel and contents were lowered into an empty cistern, where tbey were left until the doctor was readv for the final act connected herewitn. One day a large iron kettle was placed over a hot fire in the barn-lot, and filled with water. Then the barrel and corpse were drawn up from tba cistern, and the corpse placed in the kettle. It was boiled for several hours, until all the flesh was off the bones. Then the skeleton was picked out, and the remainder of the corpse was buried. The doctor now has a skeleton of which he should feel proud, and he is traveling through tbe South and lecturing, carrying tha skeleton with him. Boss Horse-Thief Again at Large. Joliet, I1L, Jan. 1.

ENGLISH TOM'S GALLANT EXPLOIT. He Saved a Station from an Indian Attack by a Surprising Revelation of Heroism. "Alloo Ead 'im hoff! 'Ead im hoff! There haint heny meat hat the station!" "English Tom." as the boys called him, was a tenderfoot if there ever was one. He went from Castle Garden to Galveston, Tex., and then came directly to the far frontier, where he was employed at one of the stage stations. He had not been in the country over a month, and therefore was new to the ways of the people and also to life on the border. At that time the stage-line extended from Fort Worth, Tex., to El Paso, passed on westward through New Mexico and had its western terminus at San Diego, Cal. Branches extended from San Antonio to Fort Concho, and from Messila, N. M., northward through that territory to Colorado, but the main line was from Fort Worth, then quite a lively little city, to San Diego, a distance of about 1,700 miles. This was the longest stage line in the world. And what a country was traversed by those heavy, rocking coaches with their four wild mules. From Fort Worth to El Paso, a distance of 700 miles, there was not a town. The first place of any importance west of Fort Worth was Fort Concho, over two hundred miles away, and one of the frontier outposts. About every thirty miles was a stage "station." occupied by a "station-keeper " a "stoct-tender," and a guard of four or five soldiers. Further west was Stockton; still further Fort Davis, and then El Paso. A few saloons, a number of gambling places, and a store or two comprised the "town" at each of these forts, but all along that stretch of 700 miles there was not a human habitation except the stage stations. The four or five soldiers at each station acted as guard in case Indians attacked the place, as they often did. Each stage also carried one soldier, who sat beside the driver and who was supposed to represent the United States army in case the coach was ambushed by Indians or attacked by road agents. The drivers drove about sixty miles. Every other station wa3 a "swing" station, where themules were changed, and every other station was a "home" one, where the drivers lived, stopping at one "home" station when going west, and the other when going east. Life at these far outposts of civilization was dreary enough, but still it had some simple pleasures, and not infrequently hardships and perils. ' The second station west of Fort Davis was a ''home," and was called Van Horn's Wells. The stage company had spent considerable money on, or rather in, these wells, but at a depth of about 200 feet they were as dry as at the top. The next station westward was Eagle Springs, and here was a large spring of clearest water. The distance between the two stations was twenty-two miles, and two men were constantly employed hauliBg water from Eagle Springs to supply the men and mules at Van Horn's Wells. The poorest mules owed by the company were used with this water wagon four brokennlown animals that could not, by any possible urging or abuse be induced to go faster than a very slow walk. The wagon was a common affair, containing barrels that were fillad through the bung. The road between the two stations led along gullies and washouts wher the tall gi-asses and bushes afforded easy ambuscades. Sometimes it led through small canyons, where the Indians had been known to hide behind the rocfts and shoot the men on the wagon. The only water in that region was at Eagle Springs, and for many years it had been a favorite stopping place for the roving bands of Apaches and Comanches. "English Tom" made his appearance at Van Horn's Wells in the summer of 1877. The first thing he did upon arriving at the station was to become the possessor of a wolf -skin cap, with a long tail hanging down the back. The boys told him that the cap was the proper thing, and so he sweltered, and suffered and wore it. Indians had murdered the driver of the water wagon, and the company had considerable difficulty in getting any one to undertake the dangerous and monotonous task of hauling water to the men and animals at Van Horn. Finally "White Buffalo," a reckless young dare-devil, who had lost his last cent with the monte players at Fort Davis, was induced to take the place at double pay, and "English Tom" was sent to fill the barrels with water and help "White Buffalo.1' The latter smiled when he saw his assistant, but said: "He'll do, I reckon. IU try him anyway." A coyote had jumped up from some hiding place near the road arid started away with along lope. "White Buffalo" reached for his rifle, but "English Tom" sprang from the wagon, waved his wolf-skin cap in the air, and started after the fleet-footed coyote as fast as he could run. Then it was that lie exclaimed. '"Ead 'im hoff! 'Ead 'im hofi! There hain t heny meat hat the station!" The rifle dropped from White Buffalo s hand and he fell on the seat in a fit-of laughter that threated to result in serious convulsions. It would be easier to catch an antelope than a coyote, and even if it had been shot no civilized man ever heard of eating one. Manv a ioke was played on "English Torn"" during the weeks that followed, and his mistakes and absurd blunders seemed to promise a fund of inexhaustable fun for the drivers. Besides, the boya felt a strong contempt for the Englishman; for it was thought he was something of a coward. But there came a day when the lives of a dozen men depended upon English Tom, and he nobly did his duty. The summer had nearly passed away, no more Indians had been seen, and the superintendent was thinking about putting a cheaper man in White Buffalo's place, when one morning the station-keeper at Eagle Springs found Indian signs near the water. Be dared not follow the trails any distance, but waited until later in the day when White Buffalo and English Tom arrived. The former made a careful examination of the footprints around the spring. Then he saddled a mule, and. without saying a word, rode away. English Tom filled the barrels with water, and then went into the station and sat in silence and waited. The sun sank behind the hills along the Rio Grande. Soon the "too-hoo. too-boo" of owls echoed disnmlly through the canyons, as if the birds knew there was trouble in the air, and the men in the rudo cabin looked at each other. One tried to tell a story and another essayed a song, but the story fell flat and the singer lost the key. Then they relapsed into silence.' The station keeper was the first to speak of the thing they were all thinking about. "I wonder if ho will try to pipe' 'cm. It will be mighty risky to come back on the trail," he said. The barrier has beea broken and they freely discussed the situation. Would White Buffalo endeavor to follow the Indians in order to ascertain if they were only passing

They were sure there were at least a dozen Indians iu tha band, and perhaps there were more. It was about midnight when they heard tha feet of the mule in the rocky gulch. White Buffalo stripped the saddle from the 6teaming animal, turned the tired beast into the corral, and came in. His supper had been kept hot and he sat down to eat with a very serious face, but without saying a word. English Tom was highly excited, and finally burst out with "I say! You know, hold fellow, caunt you tell hus ha bit habout the blooming Hindians, you know." "Not much to tell, ' said White Buffalo. "There's fifty of them, and twenty of them didn't cross the range. They're on foot, and will probably try to get the stock here or at Van Horn. They may try for the mules on the water-wagon, but I don't reckon they'll attack the stage." The men took turns standing on guard that night, and early next morning White Buffalo and English Tom started for Van Horn with the water-wagon. The latter drove the four sorry and lazy mules and White Buffalo stood up in the front end of the wagon with his rifle in his hsinda. TTa kent bia eves on everv bush and rock near the road, and several times left the wagon to scoutahead through some little canyon or gulch. They had traveled to a point within a few miles of the station, when he laid a hand on Tom's shoulder and pointed to a range of low hills about three miles ahead. In that clear atmosphere objects are plainly visible at a great distance, and a party of Indians could be readily seen descending toward the station. 'The boys at Van Horn don't know there are Indians about, and I'm afraid they'll be caught off their guard," said the frontiersman. "Pull up the mules. They don't see us and maybe they'll get behind that butte directly." Then the men waited and watched the Indians trail out of sight behind one of the hills. After that they -tried to get some speed out of the mules, but the load was heavy and the mules old, and weak, and lazy. White Buffalo was animals and try to reach the station ahead of the Indians, when bang! bang! a dozen rifles spoke from the high grass that lined a gully. White Buffalo swayed a moment ao he stood, tried to bring his rifle to his shoulder, but staggered, and then plunged head-first out of the wagon, dragging his rifle with him. Two or the mules were shot. The others stood stilL English Tom sprang from the wagon and raised his companion. A wave seemed to pass over White Buffalo s face, and a strange (look came into his eyes. He sat up. He laid his Winchester across one of the spokes of the wheel, and as the Indians sprang out of their ambush he fired once, twice, thrice so rapidly that one could hardly have counted the shots. ... Three Indians fell, and the others, taken bysurprise jumped back into the gully. English Tom sprang beside the wheel mule and began stripping off its harness. Meanwhile White Buffalo "wa3 firing rapidly, and the Indians began to retreat. Tom tried to induce White Buffalo to mount the mule, but the latter only said; "Ride, you blamed idiotl Ride for your life and theirs'" The old mule was getting excited, but English Tom held her. Then he bodily lifted his companion to her back, sprang on behind himself, and jabbing his heels into the animal's ribs, started on a swinging gallop. It was no easy task to hold a wounded and dying man on the mule, but Tom did it. They had approached within half a mile of the station, and Tom could see several of the men sitting under the shadow of the cabin and playing cards. He was about to yell at the top of his voice to attract their attention; when once again the rifles of ambushed Indians spoke from their hiding place. He had been intercepted by the Indians they had seen before the wagon was attacked. . Bang! bang! went the rifles, and bang! bang! replied English Tom's six-shooter. Once the mule stumbled. It had been hit, but did not f alL The wounded man hung on somehow, and Tom emptied his pistol with a rapidity and accuracy no one supposed him capable of. The fight was over iu a few seconds. The mule had not let up in its gallop, and in a few more bounds would have carried its riders in safety, but a ball found its heart, and it plunged to the ground hurling the two men over its head.

They buried him near the house, and many an eye was wet with tears as they heaped stones over his grave. White Buffalo eventually recovered from his wounds.
