Accident l'anHl a, ?Iiplarl ilih-An Indianapolis lHriy Aiuocg the Injured. riroiit.., Pa., Nov. 12. A frightful wreck occurred at the Blue Stone quarry, vn tl.e Baltimore ami Ohio Kailway, at 7 o'clock this morning. Train No. 12 the thror.h express from Baltimore to Pittsburg, lor.sisting of a sleeper, two coaches, two baggage ami one express car ran into a misplaced switch and was completely wrecked. The sleeper rolled over the embankment into the Y'oughiogheuy Kiver. TLe other ars were upset, and the whole train was letached ' from the engine. Sixteen persons , were injured, but none were killed outright. The names f the injured are: Hon. C. K. Boyle, member of Congress, from the Fayette l'i!r:-: Hon. John IowIing, ColJettort.f Internal Kevenue for the Twentythird District: 1. N. iltJilter. Ks.p, legal ager.t f the Baltimore and Ohio Company ; Hon. K. H.

None of the wounded are believed tj be langer usiy injured, unless it is Congressman I'vie, whose condition is not known, but Li:ced to be serious. J. 1. Mc.l ikon's ankle was badly sprained and 'ollectors Iwvwiing and Bigler slightly bruised. The r port of the wreck reached this city aKiut Vc'ok this morning, and caused yrvul excitement. As it ftas known that many prominent men oi tl.i- ity were ext-ted on the train. Tl.e accident !isarranved the telegrapli wires and it s al ter 1' o'clock before tlie following particulars of the accident were reeeivel. 'J'l.e express was about lifteen minute late w );en it reaehel the place wliere the wreck occurred at Dlue stone t:arr tlietnu k n:aki a .-?harp turn around the river a l:rt di-taiice back from tlie banks. T) ere a swjich at tlie commencement of tie curve. Whether some one had left the vw'.t'b open or not is not jet ascertalr.eo. The otticial of the road ay tl. at it AT.S tampered with, evidently with tl:e object in view of canning a wreck. Had tl.e switch l e n open, the train would have pre into it a'i right, and could have been stopped before any damage had been done. As it w, tl.e train could go on neither trai k. I'i:e r-Mi!t was that the engine dashed alcng the ties tearing up the track and causing tl.e n aches and sleeper to break loose and da-di on over the embankment in the wildcat i uni:iion. The sleeper rolled over and vor. and Mopped with its side lying in tLe bed of the river, thirty feet below. - The two pasen;:er coaches stopped at the water's Ige. The baggage car went into the water. There were many passengers on br.ard. The scer.e that followed was one that beggard description. The cries of the injuried and maimed were heard from every car; frightened pas-angers sprang from windows ami -trnggled with each other to escape from the rolling cars; wails of pain were heard from some who had been might and held within the wreck. Those who es-aj-d without injury were too startled for a time to render assistance. Then they began the rescue. . nir-ent.-er was sent to Connellsville for n.rdi'-al a -. stance, and in a short time a corps of physicians were sent to the scene ujo! a vie;al train. After dressing the wounds of the injured they were removed to the hotels at Connellsville, where they rereived 'very attention that could be given them by the railroad company. The wreck raided great excitement in Connellsville. and for hours afterward jeopIe hurried to the s ene ot the accident. The track was blockaded and torn up o badly that no trains got through until this afternoon.

Io roy dispatches read as though 1 had anything to conceal? The -ame night I received your telegram I started for-thi city, and since my arrival have examined all upers in relation t iuy-ase at the Kxe:utive Mauioii. the otticc of the Attorney ieneral and the I e part we nt of the Interior, including the tent rat Land tliee. The sole eharge ngain'. me i that preferred bv Mr. l-i-hbaek, f Indiana namely, the appointment of Mephen W. loney as one of five couimiseioiurs to ele t jurors for Colfax County, and that was made under the iuinfession that he was to select jurors for the I'nited Mates 'ourt. All other papers on tile are testimonials and indor-e-ments ot in y character as a inun, my itilrnc- and ability as a'Jcdve. and penernl approval of my eourre w hile on the Bench. No man could desire stronger indorsements than I have in the papers on ti'e. many, tnd perhaps the mot important, of w hieb weic tiled since- my cuopension. Von have a-.urel me that it has not been even intimated that I am not honest as a man, that I am not houest a a Judpe. Attorney CJcneral Garland aud Secretary l amar have aured me of thi in even Mroruer term. Since it is not charire! that 1 am not honet or Jucoinpetent, you mnt know that a treat wtour ana injiistii-e has tiecn done me. You have not and could not know the reason which induced me to appoint Mr. lorM.-y. It would only have been fair, and it was due me, to have waited until my explanation whs made, as I only a-ked a delay of four days before you appointed my successor. Mr. Iiorsey v as appointed a jury eommisioner for the lol'lc .;ng reasons: There have heeu for many year'-liumber of turbulent spirits in Colfax iiuu v ho have continually lomenicd trouble. Ii i sjirinj: the sherifl', in attemptiui; to make an arn l, wa hot, and -o badly wounded that he i ndl contineil to hi lied, shortly after this occurrence one of the guilty parlies was arretted end placed in the jail at SprinRer, the county scat of Colfax County. A number of Iiis associates attempted to release him from the jail, and in a riot which followed three nieu were tilled. Peiiuirkable as it may seem, a large n nulla: r of the prominent mid influential citiens sustained the parties who had made the attack ujon the jail, ami it was necessary to call in the I'niicd States regular troops from 1 ort l iiion to Uoll the riot and prerve tl.e pein e. This trouble rer.ewed old fcv.ds crcnU'tj some yeflr ago, when on account of -imilar troubles it was neecs-arv toannex Col fax Coumy tu Ina County for judicial purpose-, ami the feeling between all dashes of eo)iie was more bitter than Ivan ut scribe, or you can imflgihe. Ju a'!lit!oa to this there is a continual war in Xcw Mexico tctweeii the steep and cattlemen in regard to raueand water i i'.'hts. When ov.r court convened in Colfax Coumy last September, there were h.s criminal - on ;lie tlo, ket. and tliirinR that time over loOniore indictments were found, tneny. if not iiHst of iln in vrowing out of she trouble to w hich J Lae referred. Where there had been so much teeliuK. it was. of -oure. ditbcult to obtain a fair jtiix.mid I realized that the task of clcciini; Jury Commissioiiers wa a delieateone. Asyou douhtles know . the New Mexico stunues provide that tl.e ommlssion to .select jurors slmll eoiisit of the lisirict Jutlc, the Probate Judpe of the ouulv, anil tl rcc onnnisio;iers upptnUi tl ly the I'i-trict Judpe. the lattrr ha luv the ri'ht to reiec. any on- pr"poed by auy onimi- ioncr. I have a!was luul a Hepublii an on the coaimissjon lo prevent the posMOillty of hex ing a political jury, and divided the ommissioucrs lntween ti e Mt xii ans and Americans, so thni nice feeling uiitiht be axoided. Tlie Probate Judge wasa Maxican and a Kcpi.hlican. 1 ha-i noer met him, but ii was represented to me that his sympathies were inclined towards the sheep owners. Juan tiarillo, the tuber Mexican on the commission. wasMderted lccnue he was a leuirxTat. a Mexican, and ha'l been identified w ith the ininiug iiiteu Ms. A. C. liiimhaui hatl Impressed me favorably on account oi his intellicciwe. and was elecied teei.use he whs a iK-mocrai aiul one of the few who had no s nipathy w ith any contending factions. Kx-senator iHrcy had taken no part in the troubles referretl lo, was the leading llepublican oi the county. and probably the largest individual cattle owner. lie had been live in Iiis effort to harmonie the eonlüct between sheep aud cattlemen, and was in reality the representative cattleman and peace-maker in the county, in addition to hoin? a man o; wealth, and, iu consequence, interested in the good order nl the county. 1 considered all of the matters very carefully, ami it seemed to me. after consideration, that it would le a wise ami discreet thing to appoint him. I did not do so. however, until after consultation w ith Colonel W illiam llrecden. the Attornev lieneral of the Territory, who had charire of tne criminal eases; Mr. Trank Springer, a prominent law verof the Territory, and Colonel Iliehard W. Webb, the clerk of'my Court. Thev all acreed that his appointment was the test that could be made, and 1 determined upon it for the reason that we could not think of another resident of the county. Kepublieau in politics, so free from local complications ofwbOM' judgment would be so valualde in the selection of jurors to try the many criminal cases on the docket. The same day I desired to appoint Mr. Iorsey he happened to lie. in the court room. I called him and administered the oath, and the Commissioners sei ted the jury for the next term term. This did "Tini wvv.py an hour, and 1 am preiuired to pnoethat the juries ior the next term are the liest thatColi'ax County has ever had. Iu regard to my persona! relations with Mr. lorsey. 1 can say that I hail never seen Mr. lorsey but once before, and then only for a moment, some time afterward some of the meinlters of the bar invited me to join them in a trio toMr.Korsey's rauch, but as Mr. Iorsey was ill all the time we were there, I hail no conversation with him. In appolutiug Mr. liorscy, it did not occur to methat the fact would hae auj, effect upon National peUtics or the general polieiesof oftr administration. This view of the case never entered mv miud. The preservation of the peace aud good order of the county was alone considered. Mr. Fislilm' k.of hialiaua. who preferred the charge of appointing Mr. Dorsey against me, may be a very reputable man, hut he is brother in law to a v'erv dangerous, violent incendiary, named o. P. McMains, Im resides in New Mexico, and has been convicted of murder there, although he cscaed punishment uism a technicaliiv. I have bled with the Attorney General a certified transcript of his trial and conviction together with all the eidcnce given at the trial, and from which you can see that the murder was not only cowardly but cruel in the extreme. Iniring the Septemlier term of the court 1 decided two causes against MeMnins at which he was very much incensed. Doubtless he caused his bro'iher-in luw. Fishback, to prer.r the charges, which resulted iu my suspension. In conclusion, Mr. Presideut. I earnestly reiuest that you will cause, through agents of your ow n choosing, the niot searching investigation into iny w hole conduct in Mexico, whether as Citien of Judge, and that should you hereafter be satisfied, as you must le when fuilv informed, that 1 have la-en faithful to the sacred trust eonluted to me. you will do me that jut ice w hich you alone can do, and w hich your high sense of honor and fairness will dictate. I he the honor to be very rojectfully. your obedient servant. N .M. A. Vis f.st. I.XPOKTS of ImjMISTH' TTLK A XI HOt.S.

A MASS OF FLAME. Fiftj-tw-o Ilo-jLs in Gilves'xn, Texas,' Swept Away, ty Fire.

A Tract a Mile aud a Hair Lont; aul n Third Wide Iestated -een Hundred Owcllini; ftnroe.l. G.m-vbstosj, Tex., Nov. It. At 4 o'clock thiä morr.ing the most destructive lire in the hirtory of Galveston broke out in a small founlry and car repairing shop on the north side of Avenue A, known as the Strand, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. A lierce gale from the the north was blowing at the time, and the names spread with lightning rapidity to both of the aljoining buildings, one being a grocery store and tlie other a humble lwelling. In a twinkling the long liery tongue had crossed! the street and two more iwellings were In names, the inmates barely . escaping with their lives. At this moment the lire department got two streams going, but they were of nouvail. TLe heat became so intense that the firemen had to abandon their position. A general alarm was sounded. In half an hour two blocks were burning fiercely, and by 3 o'clock every one saw that a great conflagration was upon the city. People for stjuares round on every side of the burning blocks became panic-stricken, and the piercing cries of frightened women could be heard above the bourse din of the fire and the mournful wind. At .":: the tire had leaped three blocks distant from its starting point, but in a perfectly straight line, being confined to the blocks bounded by sixteenth and seventeenth streets. About 4 o'clock the lire began to spread to the east and tohe west of sixteenth and Seventeenth streets. The winl rose to a gale and pandemonium reigned. For a time it seemed as though the entire eastern half of the city was doomed. The lire spread rapidly to" the southward, licking up the blocks of elegant residences hastily abandoned by their inmates. Uy ." o'clock it had reached Broadway,' whi h threads the center of the island, running east and west. At 7 o'clock the w ind gave signs of "lying away and shortly after began to shift, then to dcereaM?. r.y S o'clock only a'lair breeze was blowing", but by this time the lire had eaten its way to avenue o. where, at ! o'clocl, it seemed to exhaust itself, and the iiremcn oming up, checked its further ravages at this point, er within two blo:ks of the gulf. The burned district covers fifiy-two blocks, seven of which are not swept entirely clean. It is sixteen blocks in leplh and averages a width of three blocks. P'rom the house tops the smoking burned district resembles a huge, black, half-opened fan lying across the island, from tlie bay nearly to the gulf. The island at that point is nineteen blocks, or one niiie and a uartrr wide. The lire started on the north side of avenno A, better known as "The .Strand," which is one block from the bay, and it stopped within two blocks of the gulf. Sixteenth street is nine blocks west of the extreme inhabitable end of the island, the first resident street being Sixth. I'rom avenue A to avenue) the bre was coiitine! to the strip bounded on the east bv Sixteenth street, and on the west by Seventeenth street. The business part of the city Ixgius at Twentieth street and runs wet ten blocks. This outline locates the fire, which began to spread after it had passed avenue A. Uy the time it had reached avenue 1. or Broadway, it was sweeping nearly three blocks in width from the west side of Eleventh street to the east side of Fourteenth street. About ös houses were burned, which were occupied by fully ötn families. From avenue A to avenue E for four squares, the burned dwellings were occupied iilmost entirely by the poorer clussses, ami several families were crowded In a single house in this strip. From avenue K, however, the burned district included the wealthiest ami mo-t fashionable por:ion of the city. 'ne hundred elegantly furnished mansions are in ruins. Many of these residences bad beautiful gardens attached, and the moneyed hss does not represent over one-half their value. All manner of estimates ore to be heard at this time. '1 he (.'ity Assessor says the taxable value of the dwellings burned was$s'o,- . This makes the probable actual value of the property 1 ,."0O,Ou0, which erhajs represents the loss in money. The insuiance is estimated at $nVxnj, although some insurance men who have walked over the district place tlie insurance at 'jo0,0,"'. So lar as can be learneil not a single accident occurred. The scenes during the progress of the fire were simply frightful so Idled w ith misery and horror that whoever witnessed it must bear its vivid impress for a lifetime. The wintl roe to a screaming gale in the vicinity of the lire and swept through the burning belt in a terrible whirl, carrying millions of live cinders huh up in the air and raining them down a mile distant over the wooden city and ltd paniostricken inhabitants. The entire east end of the city scarcely contains a brick dwelling. All is wood Texas pine and it burns with an ind?scribablefury. Five minutes after a house had caught it would be wrapped in one mighty flame. The alleyways and streets for ten squares on either side of the burning belt were rilied with blanched faces of hotwless men, women and children, w ho could Co nothing in such a gale but crouch down for shelter and watch the flames lick up the fruits of a lifetime of labor. Although the victims comprise a number of .he wealthiest residents, of the city, whose individual wealth runs un near the millions, yet the great majority pf those burned out lose the better portion of their fortunes or their little all. Some farnili' saved a good deal of furniture, others are left with only the clothes on their ba ks, so confident w,sre they that the fire would not reach them. The loss in personal and household proerty can never be estimated, and is not included in the previous estimates of the loss. The hotel are filled w ith homeless people and a t itiens' Committee is now at work appointing families to rooms and premises vacated for their use. Every vehicle in the city ii at work carrying thR strewn furniture, bedding and pictures to secure places. Thousands of eople hunt the burned district, looking among the smoking ruins for valuable keepsakes or jewelry, hoping to find something left, but all is as bleak and barren as a desert. Even the huge wooden water tanks and fences and sidewalks and telephone poles are burned to white ashes. Business is entirely suspended. The calamity is so great that mer choke with tears in speaking of it. Some core of sick people were hurriedlyjremoved during the conflagration and many women are reported prostrated by the terrible excitement. A meeting of citizens is now in progress at the Cotton Exchange to provide immediate relief for the poorer victims. Already the rich men of the city and the well to do, even those who have lost their elegant mansions, have determined to look after and provide lor Ihe poorer people, and Galveston will probably make no appeal to the outside world. Following closely on the heels of the great strike, wbith inflicted a mcnied loss Pa tfc.s

business men of Galveston of fully flOO.ooO, this calamity 1s the climax to the woes and sore afflictions of this city. AVitu the exception of half a dozen grocery store and the iron and car repairing foundry where the lire originated, no places of businesswere destroyed. . Insurance agents are now going over their policies, anl it is Lnped that "by nicht they will have completed the insurance list. Telegrams of sympathy aud offers of aid are already fouring in from sister cit5?s in Texas. LAID AWAY.

Funeral Service Over the Remains of John McCullougb. I'hilaitm iiia, "ov. 12. A guard of honor, composed of members of th Philadelphia section of the benevolent Order of Elks, watched over the remains of; John McCullough during the night, and this morning at 8 o'clock the doors of St. George's hotel, giving entrance to the spacious room in which the body laid, were thrown oien and the public admitted. Amongst the throng were many faces familiar to the trons of the theater, but there were enough men in ther walks of life to demonstrate that lohn McCullough counted its many friends out of his protesssion as he lid in it. T!;e small stage was hidden almos't by the Moral offerings which were flanked with ferns and palms. The cofiin rested upon e catal'ahpuc immediately in front of the stage. Several floral pi?ces rested upon the casket lid, the most affecting of which was a simple buneh of white flowers and smilax, left by a little girl whom no one knew. This was the inscription on the plate of the casket lid: "Jolin II. McCullough. Died November , lfiv", in his fifty-third year." On the outside of the hall on Thirteenth street such a crowd was collected that enven the steady stream of people which circulated through the hall did not seem to ilimini.-di it. It is estimated that nearly Msxi people looked ion the features of the dead actor, and that fully 10,00 failed to gain admission. The family of the dead actor occupied a bench at the head of the hall nearest the cofiin. It was after II o'clock when the solemn se-r-vices began. Uev. Dr. Kobert Hunter read selections from the Holy Scriptures. The portions selected were two chapters from the !"ith psalm and the l-'dh chapter of I. Corinthia;i. Then the hymn, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," was sung by Miss Bertha Iticei. "When the last strains of the sweet music died away, Uev. lr. John S. Macintosh made a touching prayer. When this was over, Mr. W. JI. Morton sangaso'o, "After Toiling Cometh liest." Kev. Kobert Hunter, of the Kensington Presbyterian Church, made the lint address. Fpon conclusion of the exercises at the hall, the remains w-ere given in charge of th Philadelphia sections CA the B. 1 of Elks, who, in conjunction with their brethren from New York. St. Louis, Chicago and other cities, escorted them to Monument 'emeterv, Jicre, after performing the impressive rites of the Order, the remains were consigned to the vault, where they will rest for the present.

Forty-Eight Lives Lest in the Wreck cf the Steamer Algoma, Uraplilc Account of tlie Terrible S-eoe, Ke lore and After the Wreck, by a I'aiwnifrr A Schooner No-n lon. Fokt Arthvk, Ont., Noy. 1. A terrible marine disaster, resulting in the drowning of forty-eight persons and the loss of one of the most valuable passenger steamers on the lake, was reported last night when the steamer Athabasca arrived. On board the Athabasca were Captain James Moore, commander of the 'anada Pacific. Itailway steamer Algoma, two passengers and eleven of her crew. They were all that were left of the sixty-two )ersons that sailed for this port from Owen S)und on the Algoma last Thursday. The following are the survivors: Y. .1. Hull ami W. P. McArthur, of Meorord, ont.; Captain. John More; lirst mate, Hastings; second mate, Iliehard Simpson, wheelman, ll'-nry Seur; watchman, John C. McNabb; iireiaan, P. Mcl'algan; leck hands. It. Stevens, James Ho' ton, Oaniel l.augblin; waiters, John Mel.ane, George McCall, John MeKen.ie. The Captain was badly injured. The ship's papers were lost and the passenger list could not be obtained. The following is a list ot the lost so far as known: Mrs. Dndgen ami her son, aged ten, of Hi. Paul; Mr. and Mrs, Frost (or foster), relatives of II. 1. Butchart, of Owen Sound; George 1'ettigrew, chief engineer; Alex. Mclermott, of Sarnia, second engineer; Mr. Mackenzie, purser, nephew of Alexander Makenzie, of Sarnia: Alex. Taylor, chief Stewart, of either Jlunalo or Cleveland; Mr. Jones, steerage steward, of Scotlaml. Tlie other names, consisting of leck hands. Bremen, waiters and others of the crew, can not he obtained. The story of the" disaster, as related by Captain Moore, is that the Algoum pass-! through the St. Mary's Canal, bound for this port, last 1'riday noon. Soon after reaching 1 -ake Superior the wind began to freshen up from the northwest ami a great bank of leaden clouds along the northern horizon denoted the approach of heavv weather. Ilealizij.g, however, that the Al?oma was one of the strongest ami most powerful steamers arloat, and well able to cope with even a severe gale. a plain Moore kept h-r n her course; but as night approached the wind continued to increase in volume, ami by latk had peveloped into one of the fiercest and most destructive pales ever experience! on the I'pper Lakes. As the gale increased and the sea began to break, and before mhlnight 1 .ake Superior was lashed into a wilderness of seething foam. While the tempest increased and howled, great seas sw ept c ompletely over the struggling steamer. The situation was made all the more terrible by the blinding snow storm th:-t set in before morning. It was impossible to see the length of the steamer. The passengers ami crew were terrified iteyoml measure and momentarily expected to see the steamer plunge to the bottom. P.y instructions of Captain Moore. theth erscirculatel among; the passengers, trying u allay their fears. They were panic-stricken, however, and htbhlled together in the cabin, where the screams and prayers of the women and children conld be heard above the thundering of the gale. Saturday morning Isle lloyal was sighted, and Captain Moore beaded the steamer for Kock Harbor, w here he hoped to train shelter. The islaml forms a natural harbor of refuge, but near the entrance there was a dangerous reef, ami just as the steamer was nearing tiie entrance she struck the reef. There was a terrific shock, and then the steamer came to a full stop. The passengers rushed out d the cabin and beecched the ufiicers to tell them what had happened. "AVe are on a reef," replied aptain Moore, "but if y ou will only keep as calm as possible, 1 trust all will be safely landed." Just then one of tlie crew reported that the steannT's bottom had been punctured and that she was tilling with water. The boats were at once got in readiness and all starteil tj leave the steauier. but just as thev were about to lower them tlie steamer slipped oft the reef ami disappeared with an angry roar. The water was covered with the strugglimr forms of men and women, and then all Was over. Only fourteen lived to tell the tale. These got into one of the boats, but were powerless to save themselves, as they were without oars. Captain Moore, however, wrenched a foot-board from the bottom of the boat and w ith that succeedel in working the boat to the island, where the survivors were picked up by the Athabasca. Mr. I'ently, the manager of the line, has sent out tugs from herewith instructions to search Isle I loyal for any survivors that may possibly have got ashore, ami to pick up and take care of any bodies that may be found. The tugs are now at the scene ol the wreck. One of the rescued passengers gives a graphic account of the terrible scenes lie fore ami after the wreck. "It is no use to describe the scene," said he; "nothing worse ever occurred on earth. In their madnes, w hen the waves were washing the deck, a number threw themselves into the foaming billows. Others, when a great wave would pass oil the deck, which was sweeping from sile to side, were swept into the sea like feathers. A lew hung on to rojcsor to the masts, but the majority seemed to abandon themselves in the wild alarm and despair. Kven the crew seemed powerless, so stricken were they with the awful suddenness and stupendous character of the lisaster. Meanwhile the boat rapidly went to pieces, dashed against the rocks. Tlie crew, all of whom except the waitresses, had idling to the rigging, managed, during a slight lull in the storm, to place themselves in a life boat, cut the fastenings ird in an instant a wave swept them from the ill-fated wreck. Amid the awful roar of the dying and the terrible dashing of the waves, the boat was borne onward. Two of the passengers had managed to pla e themselves in the boat before it was cut from tlie wreck. Any efforts that had been made to launch boats, during the early confusion and horror had failed. Meantime the life-boat and it occupants had a terrible experience on the open, stormtossed lake. All who could bound therm selves to the boat, while the remainder held on like grim death to the sides, expecting every moment to meet their death, either by drowning or from exposure and cold, which was intense, the half-dead inmates were borne on. Once the boat was turned over with the waves and one of the crew washed away, but the craft righted itself and was swept on in the darkness. After half an hour the boat suddenly struck the rocks. The inmates feared all was over with them, as the craft capsized, but to their surprise when thrown out the water was only a fojt deep, and they discovered that they were on land. After remaining there an hour or more, exposed to the elements, the storm abated and the sky cleared. It was then discovered that they were on Isle Koyal, and that the vessel had been wrecked about a mile from shore, on the great bowlders that exist near the channel. It was about 10 o'clock ia lie kwCi aad Ui? W-U?ad
