Tho crash was terrific. The second section telescoped into the first section, knocking out the lights and plunging every thing into darkness. Up to this hour four bodies have been taken out of the sleeper, and it is feared the total number of deaths will run np to twenty-five, and possibly more, as the car was full. It is difficult to get particulars at this hour. An Albany dispatch says: The first section of the train is usually made np of two ordinary coaches, two parlsr cars and three baggage-cars, while the second section seldom goes out with less than seven sleepers. A dining-car serves dinner on the section to Albany, where it is dropped. This train travels over the Michigan Southern via Niagara Falls. It is a favorite with travelers on the Central, and the second section is entirely of vestibule cars. The schedule of running was forty miles an hour.

The meeting was held at a crossing convenient to the mine to catch the "blacklegs" as they left the mine for home. A few of the miners sutlered themselves to be overhanled and argued with. Some of these agreed not to return, but a majority of the "black-legs" -would not stop. They were insulted with vile epithets, and in some cases stones were thrown at them, but no one was hurt. When the strikers began assembling the "black-legs'" wives became fearful and sent revolvers to their husbands. The arms were left at the mine, however. Jumbo will work to-morrow. An unsuccessful attempt was made to-day to get the men at work at No. 10 to quit. The men who are at work are more needy than some others. If it is attempted to force them out trouble will result.

Yvrappers (lUUE 3IZC) ani receive a HAHD50ME3 AN ODD SOCIETY LEADEK. Sirs. John L. Gardner, the Huston Woman Who Make Society Open 1U Kyes. Nevf York World. A Boston woman, whoso eccentricities make her more or less talked about, not to say conspicuous, is Mrs. John L. Gardner, popularly called Mrs. "Jack" Gardner. Mrs. Gardner is the acknowledged leader of tho younger set iu Boston's most exclusive society. Being one of tho richest women in Boston, she has ample opportunity for entertaining, and her magnificent winter home on Commonwealth aveuuo and her summer home in the suburbs are the scenes of much gaycty the year round. Thither she attracts all tho unght young men who move in the inner circlos tho literary chaps, tho artists, tho wits and the musicians. These are the particular passion of Mrs. Gardner and they aro all captivated by her charming personality. She is a sort of nineteenth-century Mmo. DeStaeL being herself quite as bright a conversationalist as the celebrated daughter of France, and her court is frequented by the best brains in the Hub. But tho first statement' anybody makes in speaking of Mrs. Gardner is not that she is a disciple of culture, but that she always has a train of devoted young men in attendance upon her. Tho next statement is that she almost always appears in public with some other fellow than Mr. Gardner. Mrs. Gardner is not a handsome woman, but what she lacks iu physical beauty 6he more than compensates for in culture. Sho is passionately interested in music and art. Orchestra to play at her house for the edification of a large compauy of invited guests, while her art collection has probabl v no equal in the city. So far as is known Mrs. Gardner does not herself do anything in a literary way, but she makes special favorites of thoso who do. Marion Crawford, the novelist, was one of her cavaliers, and rumor has it that in his book "To Leeward" he makes the Boston society leader a heroine. Her aflfairs du coeur are legiou. Mrs. Gardner is a woman who does pretty much as sho pleases. Constantly she transgresses certain laws of social custom which no other woman would dare to transgress. For this eccentricity she is sharply criticised by those who worship "good form," but Mrs. Gardner rides rough -shod over all her critics, and never seems to sufler by it. Some people call her Hensational, but those who know her best assert that 6be acts just as she thinks. .She in a woman of much positiveness. exceedingly independent, fond of having her own way without being domineering, possessed of strong spirit, warm-hearted and whole-souled. When Airs. Gardner arises from her chair in .a theater and beckons and waves her fan across the auditorium at some swell young club man, people shudder at her 6eeming boldness, fancy themselves or any one else doing such a thing, forgive her in the samo breath, and say: "Just like her, isn't it T So sensational !" When, also, Mrs. Gardner, who is a devout worshiper at tho highest Kpiscopalian church in town "Father Hall's'' St. John the Evangelist goes annually, as the in credited with doing, into retreat at one of tho Episcopalian convents, her critics again charge her with being aensational. But she is undoubtedly a good in fact, :v very good churchwoman. and her annual retirement to a convent is doe iu absoluto good faith. Last spring during Lent her intense religious tervor vented itself in what tociety pleased itself to call her most unheard-of freak. Soon after the beginning of tho fasting season it seetus that every morning a hauusomo carriage and pair, conveying a fine lady and her maid, drove tin in fronc of "Father" Hall'H church, and the lady forthwith alighted, nail and scrubbingbrush in hand. With these sho entered th3 porch, and, bending down on her knees, began to scrub the stones like any ordinary scrubwoman working by the day. by way of doing penance for her sins. It ls.not known absolutely that tho beautiful dinner was Mrs. Gardner, but the gossips aro all agreed that sho was none other than tho eccentric Commonwealth-avenuo society queen. Another eccentricity of Mrs. Gardner, and one which causes much talk, is her gowns, which are elaborately unfashionable, but no less original than their wearer, who isn't anything if not original. Her gowns in themselves would m:ikn her u striking figure anywhere, and only add to her reputation for being tho most daringly eccentric, yet fascinating, woman in Boston. One of these elaborate gowns sho wore list winter on tho occasion of the artists' festival, in tho Art Mnseniu. Supplemented as it was by a diminutive cegra page to hold up the train, Mrs. Gardner's appearance that night was society talk for weeks. Common report, piuvious to tho festival, had been that hhe would lead ;w tame leopard or tiger, or Mtne anch an heal, in the srand march, but sho was content to risk making a hit with a black anl won on it, and bociety hasn't stopped talking about it yet. Xo one ever knows what Mrs. Jack Gardner will do next. Mr. Jom.s l.&n't a gray hair in her head trA I over tlftjr. She look jmm; h lier !at M''. The secret o it is that iho uea only Hall'
