What might have been a'serlous accident occurred on the Bowman's Creek branch, of the Lehigh Valley railroad, on Saturday afternoon, when engine No. &05, attached to the passenger train, composed of two passenger coaches and a baggage car, leaving Wilkesbarre at 3:35 o'clock, left the rails ttt a point between Sliavertown and Dallas. The engine was completely derailed but the tender stayed on the tracks , as did the coaches. The fireman, Amos Dietrick, jumped from the engine and was slightly shaken up in his fall. The engineer, Moses Miller, remained at the throttle of the engine but did not receive the slightest Injury. After the engine left the rails it toppled partly over on its side. The rails were torn up for a short distance. Another engine was sent out and after the tracks were repaired the train was taken on to Towanda. The damaged engine was later placed on the tracks and taken to the shops for repairs. It was three or four hours before the track was repaired and the damaged engine removed. The accident was due to the malicious attempt of some one to wreck the train by placing spikes on the rails. The Valley detectives are working on the case and If the culprits are captured It will go hard with them. EXPECTS NO STRIKE. McCURDY TO EXPLAIN. VIEWS OF SECY TAFT. SPOKE TO CHILDREN.

New York, Oct. 9.—"No foreign power could successfully assail our st\i board cities.

FATAL RAILWAY WRECK "While it is necessary to go ahead with contemplated improvements nnd perfect to a higher degree of efficiency the submarine and torpedo systems, 1 am glad to express satisfaction with what I have seen. While 1 did not inspect Fort Wadsworth, the formications at Fort Hamilton impressed me greatly. Nothing could live upon the water within range of these guns, directed as they would be with other batteries erected for the defense of New York city. He made the Interesting announcement that the meeting of coal operators of the country, called in Chicago next month for the purpose of forming a federation of bituminous coal interests, will not be held, the project having been abandoned. This action is supposed to be due to the refusal of operators In the Pittsburg district to participate in the movement.Forty Hours' Devotions Op- "I want to ask you what crops yon have harvested this year.

"Some of us have not had much education, some of us never graduated from colloge, but we can raise crops just the same. Let us cultivate the spirit of patience, let us cultivate that crop right here in our own city, in New York or wherever we may be. Another crop that we can cultivate is charity. Still another crop that we can raise is that of good will. Patience, charity and good will toward others are ever so much better Cor ourselves and for others than are the material crops that grow out of the ground.

He spoke with great enthusiasm of his visit te Fort Hamilton, adding: "Demands to be made In the anthracite region will be formulated at the convention to be held in Shamokln on Dec. 14. I do not know what action the convention will take, other than to decide on asking for an eighthour day and a signed agreement recognizing the organization. The sermon was by Rev. Father Hillary, C«f the Passionist Order, recently transferred from Cincinnati to the Scranton monastery of the order. Father Hillary based his sermon on the text containing the \yprds: "Now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation." The reverend speaker gave a most eloquent discourse in which he exhorted bis hearers not to neglect the opportunity offered to gain the indulgences to be gained by faithfully attending the services and approaching sacraments. He cited Biblical instances of where the Creator had given to bis creatures a certain number of opportunities to repent of their wrongdoings and then had suddenly cut them oft. For many, the speaker continued, this may be the last chance given them to repent of their sins. If they stubbornly neglect it there is no telling how soon they may be taken away without another opportunity of repentance.

He gave the undertaker the address of relatives In Philadelphia and said he wished to be buried in that city.

This ground will eventually be required, and I am inclined to favor Its purchase. a fast freight train, which owing to a heavy fog, lost some time. The caboose and box car accidentally uncoupled at the junction of the Lykens Valley branch and mall train overtook them. Berry and Hendershot were in the caboose when the crash came and were instantly killed. Fireman .Scott, of the mall train, was hurled Into the wreckage and was also killed. Engineer Lesh of the mall train was thrown over the wreckage of his engine. After the collision the wreckage took fire and the bodies of Berry and Hendershot were burned almost beyopd recognition. Though no further word has been received by the Armstrong committee from James H. Hyde or his counsel, Samuel Untermyer, in relation to Hyde's appearance before the committee, it is said that Hyde undoubtedly would come to New York und testify, waiving nil conditions. His present position, even some of his friends said. Is untenable.

Injuries Have Been Received for Treatment It Is pointed out that his refusal to return to the jurisdiction is a tnclt confession that he is afraid of the Armstrong committee and that he had received nn intimation the committee is aware of certain transactions not brought out by the Frick committee, Superintendent Hendricks or Morton's experts. Hyde's apparent fear to face the Armstrong committee has whetted the desire to get him on the stand in the hope Hughes will be able by adroit questioning to drag the skeleton from the Equitable closet if one has been overlooked by the other investigators. He was In Moosic all day yesterday." Mr. Klein had resided in Dupont up to u few weeks ago, when he went to Scranton to stay.
