~ THE PROSPECT HORROR.| 1 FOBTY PASSENGERN IN THE JAWS { " OF DEATH, : Mauy of the Vietims Roakted Alivi Fragments of Human Bodies Pulled From jthe ] Ruins, i | (From thé Titsville Herald, Deo. 27th.] | |- . 'BTRIKING COINCIDENCES. 5 The Angola disaster occurred at four o'clock in the atternoon, Christmas day, 1867, only a few rods from the station -y_ the breaking of a wheel, which precipitated two cars from a bridge into an jicy abyss below. One car immediately t>k fire, and only &ix persons of fifty five sup posed to bave been in the car were 1: 8cued .alive. This horrible accident pccurred only the day before Christmas; within about the same distance of a piation, the fall nf the cars being in bdth instances between thirty and forty feet, ‘fire from the broken stoves immediately. setting the splintered fragments of [the cars on fire and roasting the inmates to death who were not killed by the fall. 'These two accidents occurred within 56 miles of each other., Both trains were going to Buffalo, both were running pt a moderate rate of speed, and on roads that had been remarkably fre¢ from accidpnts up to the time of the occurrence. | THE ENGINEER'S STATEMENT. | Joseph Hare, the engineer, said : T liave been employed by the Buffalo, Corryland Pittsburg railroad since it was first open ed in 1867, as an engineer, and brogght train No. 6 down from Corry Tuetday afternoon. T had only one pasenger car and baggage car No, 6in the train. |We were some ten minutes behind time shen we left Corry, and;had not made upjany of the time before reaching the tr¢stle. Thereis a down grade of nearly eighty feet to the mile going into Prospect,jand I shut off steam as usual about threeiquarters of a mile this side, but owing to the snow on the track I saw tha} the train would not reach the station With out’ using -steam. When reaching the .center of the trestle I let on the steam, and as I felt the action of the steam in the cylinders, looked back and mnoficed that the hind trucks of. the tender fwere off the track. I whistled down biakes and reversed the engine at once. Juyst ag tbat instant the bell cord snapped with a ‘crack, on hearing which I looked arpund and saw the two cars falling botton) side up tothe ground. I caught a glimpse of: them before they struck the ground, and "saw the trucks sink into thel vl shut off steam, and called out to thd fire~ man for God’s sake to hurry with the shovel, and then hastened to the g lonund to help get out the wounded. ° - * THE BRAKEMAN’'S STATEMENT, |

Claude V. Hanson said that hp had been employed for five weeks (n the Buffalo, Corry and Pittsburgh raijroad. I was the only brakeman on train No. 6, but the ba'gga%eman, Frank Taylpr, al ways assists as & brakeman. At the top of the grade' nearing Prospect Station we always go out on the platfoim to slow the train as it approaches the trestle. I had set my brake, and taken up the slack of the trainj before the tender|truck jumped the track. Frank had not get his ' brake ; and stood facing me, he bejng on the back end of the baggage car, ind I was standing on the front end of tlie pas senger coach. The steam had been shut off near the top of the grade, and fas we struck the trestle the train was not run. nipg at more than six miles an ‘hour. I felt a slight jerk of the train nefir the center cf the trestle, and the next ipstant saw the cars swing wildly, when the eoupling' broke, and the corners ¢n the right hand side coming near togetljer, so 43 to leave no chance for escape op that gide. - Just-at this time the forwand end of the passenger car gave a sudder jerk, and plunged half way over the left side of the trestle, where it remained balanced for a second, then the weight of the forward truck bore it down, and it turned a complete somersault after leavirg the trestle, striking the ground bottom side up, when the beavy truck sank info the mass of splinters, closing up the {doors and windows completely at both ends ot the car. The baggage car fell 4t the same time, the coupling with the ehgine having parted, the weight of the hind trucks carrying it over and turning it up side down as it fell. ‘Frank and I both clung to the hand rail. As the carg/went over I called him to jump, but h¢ suid “No,”, and hung on with a deterfnined grip. While the cars were yet in the air ‘as they neared the ground I swung my - self out as far as I'could and let go, ana

was struck by the corner, which knpcked we far enough out of the way to prevent my being mashed beneath the smashed - platform. The fall stunned me | fora moment, but when I got up I calldd out ~‘to Frank, “are you hurt?” He shid “I am dying.” I then shouted to Joe to bring down jack screws to raise the end of the cars, but in a moment saw that they would be of no use. I then called for water, as the smoke began td come pouring out of the car, The engineer brought down the engine buckets| with ‘water, which we threw on, and theq com menced to' throw snow wherever we could find a crevice. We first pulled ‘aylor out, who was the only person that|could be seen. I called to the conductor, but got - mno reply. Everybody seemed st nned, and no noise came from within the car ~except from one man who said the stove was on him. Seeing’ that very | little . could be done without more help, Ijstart. ed for the station os fast as I could run, and found two ’'busses waiting fr the train, I told their drivers what had happened, and sent them for medical ajd and for buckets and other means of assigtance. I then run back to the wreck as quick as 1 could, baving been gone probaljly tew minutes. The track hands had come up nnd, with the engineer, were at| work shoveling snow upon the burning cars. In a few momenti other track me i came up with axes and we began to cuf into the car and release the passengers and fight the fire by shoveling snow, We got five men out of the fire aliye in a short time. Edward Bell, of Shrman, N. Y.,-died almost as soon as takén out wund exposed ~to the bitter cold. While ‘taking out the five men, farmers and oth €lB cace running down to the sc-ne of the disaster with axes and pails, ahd began to work with us to fight the fire-and chop out the passengers. With all thiy help we could not put the fire out, but pucceeded in keeping 1t ‘subdued to a considerable extent. The taking |out of bodies was very difficult, as it was Rlmost ~ impossible to cut holes large enopgh to let them through because of th¢ bent bolts which were doubled up all sprts of ways €0 that in catting they were me’t‘ everywhere. The conductor lay inearly in the middle of the car with Bis feet wedged in between broken seats and held fast ; he begged us to take him ou if we bad to pull his feet off Finally wp gota ~ we gota log chain around his body and pulled him out, but in so doin g broke geveral ribs and injured him int ernally. A lady lay near the corductor, but we ‘could do nothirg for bher, as she was ammed in between the seats. More help lept coming and at once went f» work shoveling snow, so that we were enabled to get tge fire out. Then we propped up one side of the car, and continped tak&g bodies out. We worked for more ‘ than an hour before all were removed, - mearly all of whom were severely ipjored. - Welaid the dead bodies on cushjons on ~ sho enow until in the evening. A num ~ ber ot them were burned so badly when they were taken out that it was injpossible torecognize them atsil. Ong New. York lady was burned toa crisp. | When help were most heartrending, and as it |

- THE NUMBER KILLED. The number reported kiflled’, as reported from numerous sources, is eighteen. But it should be remembe_rg‘g that there were about fifty.flve perséns in the car. The conductor is too severely injured to give us definite information, but from the various sources for obtaining information within reach, we feel quite certain in expressing the opinion’ that there were at least this number on board. - Those rescued alive number twenty-one, according to the lists that have been made public. Of this number some are so serious: ly injured they cannot survive. The total loss of life will therefore probably not fall less than thirty or forty, making the per centage of loss, in proportion to the whole, greater than is encountered in the most sanguinary battles.

STATEMENT OF HENRY MILLER. - I live in Titusville, and work at the pop factory. I left Titusville at 11:30 on the morping of the 24th, and Corry st about 1:25. I heard some one say that the train was a little behind. There was one passenger coach., It was uncomfortably full. - There were also some passengers in the baggage car. Whenthe train left Mayville I was sitting next to the aisle, near the corner of cthe car,. In the same scat with me was Miss Jane Gordon, of Titusville.. I wasacquainted with ber, and had sat with her nearly all the way from Titusville. Immediately in front of me sat Mr. and Mrs. Curtis and child. About three seats in advance, on the op posite side of the aisle, Mr. and Mrs. Rice were sitting. We were running along down the grade from ™ Mayville, at thie rate of, I think, easy twenty-miles per hour, The first intimation we had that anything was going was the car jumping salong the track. At the first jump some of the passengers got up. I held to the seat, and said |to Miss Gordon, “We're gone, sure” She caucht hold of me, and clung jto me, saying, “God save us.” These were the last words she said. Just then the car gave a higher jump and a llfrch to one side. Then it fell off the trestle, and in falling turned bottom up., I th'ilik it ‘was about thirty feet to the ground, The passen - gers nearly all fell into the top of the car when it tarned over., The*moment the car struck the sides gave way, and the bottom-came down upon us. Miss Gor don ‘was still close to meji In the crash her head was split by the/arm of the seat. ‘She died instantly. Her blood- covered me. It got into my thir and eyes, and clotted there. I felt a pain in my side, but did not know how rfiucb I was hurt. 1 did not lose consciousness, but was par tially stunned for a minute or so. The first thing I noticed was a holein tbe floor of the car just übovi me. I putmy band through the hole. About five min utes afterwards some one began cutting ‘me out, It was twenty minutes before 'the bole was large enough to get out of. When I first heard the people at work cutting me out, I noticed that the car was onfire, but did not see the flames until two minutes orso after I felt the heat. The smoke was thick and oppressive. At this time I noticed Mr. and Mrs. Cur. tis and child.” Mrs. C. was groaning, bat the child, although slightly injured, was laughing. Mr. Curtis, I'think, was dead —ut least he showed no signs of life; he was lying close to me, badly cut. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Rice were close to me ; neither of them made any noise or spoke; I think they were both killed in the general smashrup that took place ' when the car struck the ground. Had they been alive I would have known it, I think.. I was wide awake, and knew ev. erything that was going on near where I was: Within ten minutes after the car

went off the smoke became very dense. [ was afraid the Curtis child would get smothered, and g 0 wrapped it up in my coat. There was a great deal of groaning and shrieking as the fire gained head way, There were so many cries T could scarcely distinguish what was said by any one person. For the last five minutes I was in there it was terrible. I knew people were burning all around me, and some of them were alive. I could smell the burning . flesh and clothing. I'he smoke and heat were fearful. I tell youl was weakening. Finally they got the hole about big enough for me to get out of. I put the child throagh the hole and then got out myself. I was bruised, but there was no blood drawn on me. T was the only one in thé car who was not cut. The fresh airrevived mea little, and T looked for my brother, George Mil ler. I heard a man hallooing for help at the other end of the car. [ went to him. He said his leg was burning off. He was fast in the zinc of the stove. I pulled at him for about five minutes and got him all out but one of his feet; then I got weak and'fainted. I remember we both fell together. When I came to againlwas lying beside a fence, Some one had . carried me there. Pretty soon I noticed my brother. He was leaning against the fence and laughing at me. Hesaid I. looked so queer. He did not know thathe was hurt; had just got out.” Didn't know how he got out, but thought through the door of the baggage car. One of his ears was nearly torn off, It

was banging bya shred of skin. ‘His head was bruised and bis left foot was badly burned. The boot was burned off, also the sock up above the ankle. He didn’t understand the thing atall. By-and-by somebody came up and took him to a farm house. I staid for probably an hour longer, but I was so weakened I did not pay close attention to what was go - ing on. I hung on the fence most of the ‘time. Occasionally, as I felt strong enough I would lend a hand a$ | helping the people outof the car. I think I was the first man out of the passenger car; After I bad fainted and come to, I lookéd around.There were not more than five or six working on' the car. |Mrs. Curtis and four men had been got out, I could not say who the men were. They were all cut up, torn and bloody, and some of them were also burned. ' Three «f them were hanging over the fence; the other *was lying down. -After awhile they got ‘some more out. These were all badly cut, bruised-and burned., None were able to walk. I think the man I pulled on's was dead when they got him out. I know I saw his feet burning in the fire. A man came to me when I was leaning on the fence, and asked me to help bim with his brother. I went to his brether, rubbed him with snow, but he was cut in the head and back and burned. He was dead when I got tohim. I got weak again, I didn't take much interest in the proceedings. I was teo sore. My side hurt me and I could bhardly walk. I went back to the fence and then got two boys to help me to the nearest “tarmhouse, I was laid on the floor on blankets with a lot of other people. They kept bringing in the wounded all the afternoon and laid them om blankets. Bome of the wounded were very low and used up. Others were more fortunate. I couldn’t say how many were in the house. After awhile the doctors came and looked after us. I stayed in the house till Christmas afternoon ; others went away earlier; others are there yet. | I didn’t see anything more of Miss Morgan till T went to Mayville. Her body was burned beyond recognition. The corcner showed me a garnet ring he had taken from the finger of one of the burned. I identified the ring as helonging to Miss Morgan. 1. noticed it on her finger before the accident. i PG s O I did not hear any whistle blow when the car ran off; I ‘don’t think it was blown at all; if it had been I would have heard it. Noone else that I talked with heard it. 1 am guite sure the train was ropning at the rate of ;fitwenty-miles‘ per’ hour. Hin ;

- Old and New. : The panorama of time has been slowly moving on and the scenes of the old year are already beyond our view. The experiences of the past year are ended. Another chapter has been added to life’s record. The joys and sorrows, the trials and perplexities, the hopes and disappointments 1 of 1872 will occupy. our minds no longer. We are able now—or at least should be—to see the mistakes committed by us during the'labors and transactions of scasons gone by. Mauch that we have done has been of little avail. Many experiments ‘have been tried that have proved unprofitable. Unprofitable, did we say? Perbiaps not.altogether so. True, we have gone blundering and stumbling along, but does the blind man often fall over the same obstadle? The experiments which have proved froitless; the mistakes, of whatever character commitied, serve to fortify us against. similar digressions in the future. If we would pnfit by past experience, let us not say we were right when our better judgment convinces us that we were wrong. It is only our selfconceit that leads us to justify ourselves in pursuing an unwise course. Acknowl edge wherein you have labored amiss and reap the reward. It will not injure your standing in societv nor will any one esteem you less for it. It is not necesary. neither is it profitable, to mourn over your losses. What/s the use of “crying over’ spilt milk #” - Let Bygones be|bygones. ‘Lay better plans for ‘the future and carry them out with the grestest care. Yes, the old yesr is'yone! The curtain ‘has risen again and we shall all be seen, each playing his part in another act in the drama of life. No, not all.. Some of the - dear ones who were sustaining a part with us last season are net enumerated in the new cast of characters. - Their places are filled,’it may be, by strangers to us, and the play goes on a 3 before. But tlere must be some changes. We must not stand still nor yet continue tg work in the old, time-worn ruts while the demands of the day are so rapidly varying. It has .been well said that this is an age of progrese. States which but a few yeurs. ago were West now are East. It is but a few years since our fathers came to Obio and Indiana, and in coming thought they had left civilization far bebind. Now tbe sons of these gray beaded farmers talk of going West, but they must go on and on, and when they stand upon some barren bluff along the western coast and look out on Pacific’s briny deep, then,and not till then, do they get beyond the bounds of civiliza tion. This filling up of the western country bas left its effects upon us. ~Qur local interests have been very materially chang ed. The rolling prairies which buta few short years since yieliicd- only the waving grass {or the wild horse and buffalo now yield supplies for the granaries of the world, 1 4

.- The thousands upon thousands of cattle { which but & few years ogo were roving wild and unmolested over the great Mexican plains are now brougbt 'across the wide stretch of country and crowd to excess the cattle yards of our eastern cities. The fattening ot swine was once an item of profit to the farmers of this locality. He who could count his Lierd of fifty hogs was then thought to be doing a pretty large business. Go and spend a day with our western farmers, Sce them hitch up their teawns and haul to, the field corn for -an hundren, two hendred, five hundred or perhaps & thoasand hogs; corn for which they can receive ten, fifteen and it may be a 8 high'as twenty ce’u;é per bushel(shelled) delivered on the cars, and then ask yourgelf if the farmers of Ohio and Indiana can compete with those of Illinois, Towa -and other far western States in the matter of fattening pork for market. We say let them raise pork for us if they will. Let the herdsmen upon the | plaics of Mexico crowd the New York ‘markets with their light, rough, raw:boned beeves if they find profit in deliy- | ering it there at from six to eight cents per pound. We can well afford to do it. We have a better use for our corn than to make itinto pork at five cents a pound., We can glean richer profits from'our grazing lands in the form of butter and cheese than they can in shipping cattle ‘wbich: hardly sell for enough to pay for. transportation. As we have said before, our local interests have changed, but we have, only to recognize the fact and shape our course to conform with the circumstances in which we find ourselves situated.

The records 6f the new year arve already opened and those of the old filed away with the past. Readers and writers have met for the last time in 1872. The BanNER of 1873 will coms to us with names of other correspondents, and in a little while the old ones whose advice we no longer read will be forgotten. But what of their counsels have been of worth to us, let it be carefully treasured up in the storehouse of memory. The long evenings of January are upon us. Let us ot spend them in idle dream: ing or, worse, idle gossip. Lay your plans for the spring and summer work, 'Post up your books and determine what crops have returned you the most money for the least expense in production. Commence the year with a full knowledge of past errors and a determination to avoid simi lar ones in the future. Commence it with a knowladge of what you are to do, and do it when it shculd be done.

The Intreduction of Chinese Labor in Pennsylvania, The importation, by the Beaver Falls Cutlery company, of a number of Chinese, who bave been introduced into the general- workmanship of the company at that place, has caused considerable dissatisfaction among the white workmen employed by the company., The coolies in the employ of the company at present number pearly one hundred and sixty, the latest addition having arrived only a few days 'ago. It isalleged that on their arrival ‘anattempt was made to introduce a number of those who had first been employed into the more. advanced ' branches | of the-business. To this the regular workmen objected, and alleged that they were requested to instruct the coolies in the finer branches of the business, only ‘to be discharged as soon as the Chinese could do the work. Asa result many of the workmen of the various departmentsgave up their situation and came to this city yesterday in search of other employment,. It is stated that the Chinamen work in positions for twenty five dollars a month in gold which heretofore paid white worlk.
