YofcxosToirx, Ohio, July 3.—A terrible accident occurred at 3 o'clock this morning to the fast express on the New York, Lake Erie & Western railroad, at Ravenna. Wbile the train was standing at the depot waitiDg lor orders, a freight train crashed into the rear portion completely telescoping the day coach and smashing it to pieces. Nineteen passengers were killed and thirty-eight others were badly injured. The day coaches and two gleepers ahead of it caught lire and were entirely destroyed. Many of the unfortunate people were so badly burned as to make identification impossible. The wrcck was the most disastrous that ever hapjenid on this road. The scene was appalling and almost beyond description. A special train- donveyiag surgeons and necessary supplies for«~5iie woucded was sent as HOOD as possible to the scene of the accident and a working party set about removing the dead ami cuing for the injured passengers. -The accident was so frightful and thediffhulty of gaining information so great, it is impossible as yet to get a list ot dead and wounded.

The rear car was a day coach aud crowded with people, which had been taken on at Cincinnati. Almost all ia the car were pi^asore seeker*, bound for Find ley, Young%town and other places where thev. expected to spend the Fourth. Tha engine of the freight train went almost all the way through ihe day coach. Almost instantly the car, together with two tf the sleepers front, took lire aud burned so fiercely that many of those caught under the broken seats and debris, were burned to death before help could reach them. The paesengeis in the sleepers were not hurt by tho concustioo, and those in the other ars farther forward, hurriea to assist any of their unfortunate fellow travelers whoso screams and cries for held filled ths air.

JuMt who is to blame for the disaster is not yet decided, but the responsibility seems to rest between the brakeman who wont back to flag the freight train and the engineer of thit train. The brakoman went back thirty-five car lengths, which was a sufficient distance in wmeli to stop the train.

Another Aceonnt.

YOUKGSTOWNJ 0., July 3.—The east botiind Erie vestibule train N*. *3, doe here at 2:80 this morning was very late and was running on orders. When the stop was made at Ravenna, the engineer and fireman of the passenger train, went to work to repair the ermine, and the train was again detained several minut». A tlagman was sent back, but went back only a few feet, at moat only two car lengths, Suddenly around a curve west of the citj, camo» freight

Tho engineer supposed he had a

clean track and it being a through train, be was not expfctingtostop at Utvenna He called for brakes ami reversed .hia engine, but all to no purpose, a« on came the freight with but slightly decreased speed, and no word of warning could be given tho doomed train, A few feet we*t of the station, the engineer and firemen jumped, alighting tyfely, A moment more and the heavy freight crashed Into the passenger train and the noise was heard for miles. Foramoment there was auiet and then begau tho most

frightful cries, and a scene was t» which beggars all descriptlc moans of the dying, the piteous cries* for help from the imprisoned and helpless passengem, the mutilated and bloody rvtoAins of tho dea l, $Qtl the scene among the debris, made the situation so horrible that no pen can mm ribe it. The freight engine had gojte ctear through the day coach in the rear amj the sleeper, acC buried itself in the second lee per, the third car of the tram. There was nothing left of the tram bat a mafsot wreckage and the «dee of the third car stood around ontslde of the engine, holding Ii fast. This lasted only a moment when little tongues of flatne sprang up and soon the whole wicck was on fire. It was a sickening sight. Two mprtsoned paswo^eW were icorrs of

AFTER MANY YEARS.

fntereatinff Story of the Separation and Heanion ol Two Old Soldier*. During tho heated weather of July 18G1, at which time this immediate section of the country was comparatively a strange land as regards the farming interests and improvements,. John Beckler, now cue of oar most prosperous and influential farmers, obtained employment as a farm hand a few miles north of this city. Very Boon after Mr. Btckler had obtained work, George Fischer, now a business man on east Main street, attto obtained employment on tho same farm. As soon as Messrs. Beckler and Fischer became acquainted, the formality of an introduction beiog thrown aside, the warmest kind of friendship at once spiang op between them and has continued to exist until tho present time. When they met Mr. Beckler was in the potatoe patch hoeing. However daring the year 1861, when the war broke out both the gentlemen iu question, bent on

fno'ZSjTK. Kl.vXio.lmn. and the other in the Sixth Indiana. At this time they entered the battle-Jield and became separated, though it wa? with a heavv heart they thus parted. All during the war they never chanced to meet and although both went through without being injured. Many years elapsed before they met again. After the war Mr. Fischer drifted about over the country, finally returning to Terre Haute and by chance met bis true and tried friend. The meeting was a most effecting one and left an impression on the minds of the several who witnessed the meetiug of the two gentlemen tV*t time can never efface, irom that time they have resided in the vicinity of Terre Haute and with time both have accumulated ample fortune. Irom the time of the last meeting they hav« been the nearest ind dearest of friends and although tbv .V hair is rapidly becoming a silvery white, they wishe 1 once more to hnve the pleasure of meeting in the o.d potatoe field, where they first gained acquaintance, even though upward of thirty years hod elapsed. Accordingly yesterday was the day set for the reunion. Shortly after 12 o'clock a huge crowd assembled at the palatial home of M*. Beckler three milea southeast of tbe citv, where a most Tffljpyable afternoon was spent In the pdtotoe digging contest Mr. Beckler captofed the first pna for doing the clean tat and best wo«k, .white Mr. Fischer had to content himself with the second. As goon as the prixas bad bean awarded

Bert Fischer presented each contesting with a gold potato fork tacked to apiece of red and blue ribbon. Mr. Lrtudermilk being the speaker of the day entertained the ero^d for half an hour in bis usual pleasing styte. Several other speakers followed. Some excellent music was rendered during the afternoon and c«ock the guests slowly tiled into the spacious dining room where they were treated to an elegant repast. Supper over, Mr. Beckler kindly allowed h» g««t8 over his vegetable farm which ta acknwledged to be second to none in the a'ate. Ibe return trip was •vowing that a mote delightful afternoon could not haw been spent

PHn.ADEi.PHiA, July I—A statement relative to the controversy over the employment of the plate, printers dropped from the rolls of tine bareau of printing and engraving, at \fcshitjgton, has been issued by General ^Master Workman Powderly. He saytt:

sayi«»gor

doing anything which Woiild even In the slightest degree embarrass *be secretary of tbe treasury or the administration. Up to this moment 1 have not saWl a word publicly, but I feel that tbe statements charged to the secretary of tho treaanry -demand some recognition and denial since they are entirely and unqualifiedly falsa. Me has stated, so It is alleged, uid ha has not denied ft, that the plate printers trouble was not tbe subject of dlscussloti at the meeting held at Mansfield between Senator Sherman, Major McKinley and himself. -That matter was discussed at Mansfield, a settlement-advised, and I hold the prove, oTer-the-signature- of Major MeK!nP^tiMS«tf.\iO? his .return to Washington tlMi ^ccretnrT-trf *he -treasttry Wired tho generaT organization, Otf^naghj W^ %0»p^. to Washing!on ooiiia So- settled. The general vrorthyffotsetoiUtCQttjplfwJ with the roffueat, atitf:'oa June..j»_wc#sr*. Ievlln and CaVpua'gfi c'dlIcil at the treasury department, saw-Vfr. Foster, and eoneluded an agreement to restore the discharged men to their places lie even went so far as to write to one of them asking lilni'to advise hiui whether he wished to be r® employed. That letter, embodied the agreement entered into. It Is written itC his own hand and over his own signature. 'We h«Al that letter as proof of what we My. Mr. Devlin made the memorandum of tho terms on which tho agreement was bated and on the strength of which he wrote the letter. The terms are as follows: "That jthe seven men who have been dismissed frtau the rolls lu the plate printing department shall bo restored to their former places, or places of equal inipdrtnnce and pay and that they shall be treated with the Sam# consideration as other plate printers by thS chief and his assistants in the bureau that four of thorn shall be restorod wlthiu tet^ day* and tho bnlanee within two weeks from this date.

The foregoing was approved by Mr. Foster, secretary of tho treasury, and Mr. Meredith, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing. It was stated by Mi Meredith that thd agreement could bo carried out without the displacement of any manin the department.

These deliberations were tfoncluded and tbose present congratulating themselves upon the bappy termination ot the difficulty, when a committee of plat« printers were called into the secretary's chamber by Mr. Meredith. The .card which anntjunccd their arrival |Ll)oro thli. inscription: "A delegation fipdm the Gotiiper's Federation of Labor desires to bo heard before an ngrecment is arrived at with tho Knights of Labor." Those men had boen called away from the machiues at 11 o'clock that d*jr, Ju»t «s sooiifja#

interview. They were drilled by Mr. Mero-Mth as to their speech and conduct whllo deliberating with the secretary, but the instructions were not complete for Mr. Meredlfti forgot to tell them tho name of the organization they were supposed to represent before the secretary and they gave tho name of an association that does not and nevor did exist. .After a short Interview with this committee, the srerctary turned to Mr. Devlin, and snatching some papers from bis hand, said: •«If this Is to bo a fight with this organiaation or yours, I don't know but what I had belter fight yours."

To that Mr. Devlin replied: "If It Is to be a fight I guess we *au «lo a little of that ourselves."

Mr. Devlin then called his attention to the fact that lie luv 1 concluded an agreement to Bottle tho matter that In that agreement no man, whether Knight of Labor or member of the federation, was to be discriminated against or .d'splacedt. but the secretary of tbe treasury stated that ho would have to send for Mr. (tamper* before Jio could arrive at a further understanding Of the ea*o. The advisers of Mr. Foster have Influenced hill) to so act as togive the controversy such a coloring as to create the impression that It Is a struggle between labor organisations. Such Is not the case. We have no fight, quarrel or dtsputc with any labor organization, and this contest will not be *o regarded by the general officers ot \ho Knights of tabor. Mr. Foster has an undoubted right t-» consult Mr. Gompnrs if he pleases, but the fact aHU remains that none of tho men Involved belong to any organization bnt tbe Knight# of Jkabor.

July 8.—Sir Jas. Fcrgusson,

replying to Mr. Labouclicro, in the house of lords, yesterday, said tlmt tlic government had no information as to the stipulations of the triple alliance, bnt had no doubt that Premier Rudini had correctly described in the Italian parliament the exchange of views between England and Italy,

tectthatsome of th«N)~property was assessed less 'ban it warf the last time. 8o wordjr discuseions twere had over the a]pprais» ment of some of the coil lands in Kevins township. The assessor from This-dist rict sain that somo places !&e Coal Bluff Mining Company had -fcoingbt. the coal underlying the land and that where such was the Vitse the mining company bad been assessed as owners of the coal underlying this laud, and the owners of the land had been assessed for tbe land alone, while in other places where the underlying stfatas of coal had not been sold the ownere had been assessed as owners of coal land but this manner of asessment did not suit them very Wtll. The Fayette township assessor underwent some close examination in regard to his assessment of the Bolton farm which has always been regarded as one of the most productive, and hence one of thn most valuable tjactB of land in the county. It was claimed that the (usessor underestimated it aNd Mr. Gwin Bpoke about the penality for not doing the work properfy and fairly. Tbe law savs that it is pouishablo by line aud imprisonment for an assessor to willfully violate his oath." Do your work according to tho law, hue to the lino and let the chips fall where they will" said

Mr. Givin. "if one hontist man is arrested for tbe real and full value of his property and others arc not, and if when the count ^assessor attempts to equalise matters, by raising two or three hundred dollars on each, why dou't you see rhat it would break op the honest man? Unfair and unequal taxation is dishonest." Mr. Gwin ordered Mr.

sounds were heard, and t^at the'stk je#- fUtaey takestji&iMjdA|tfv» everythipg ff ont befijte (be sent his reports to Indianapolis. Mr. Gwin is a small man, with a sharp, restless eye is gray haired and gray moustache and beard which he keeps closely clipped giving him a decidedly shrewd appearance.

The Kvldeuee la Completed and Argnmenla are Made. This morning the attorneys began arguing tbe case of Harry Croslcy, of Lost creek township, wbo ia charged with arson, before' the jury. The evidence was completed yesterday afternoon. Miss Cornelia Beach, of this city, who was teacher at the School house which was burned, was on the stand and testified that Crowley was a very bad and tinrulv boy, that she had to keep him separated from the other boys a great deal of the time. Crosley did not like Miss Beach at all and when tho information was given that she would teach the school next year he was displeased and in the testimony it was shown that tbe fire started and the school house burned the hext day after the announcement was made that Miss Beach would still be retained iu her present position. The defense banks strongly on proving an alibi and tbe defendant's family all teftitled that he was soma-where else than near the school bouse when the fire occurred. Crosley bimself has told several different stories at to bis location at tbe time.

This morning tbe arguments were begun by Looia Leveqae for the state, who made a strong speech and one which was considered as very damaging to Crosley'« prospect for liberty. Martin Hollinger, for the defense, followed and spoke at some length trying to vindicate the character ot
