Then ame the terrible shock, followed by the mashing of windows and the roof of the car, uid all was a mass of bleeding and struggling humanity. Men were locked in each ither's arms, covered with blood, while underneath them and on all sides lay the poor unfortunates who were instantly killed, crushed out of all human resemblance. The sight was a terrible one, and it required the -itoutest nerves to induce one to take a second look. GEORGE JAY GOULD had come with him had left an the train for New York.

Sigel, of Brie, Pa., passenger on the illfated excursion train, was 011 her way to Buffalo. She arrived here safely in the afternoon. In an interview she said: I was ia the first coach, next to the smoking car. The passenger train was a luge one, and carried a large number of exrarsionists, as well as regular passengers. The first we knew of the collision was a New York, Sept. 15.—The happiest man in all Christendom last evening was handsome George J. Gould, the crown prince of Wall street. The happiest woman was his beautiful and accomplished bride. Boston, Sept 15.—A well-known lady In Cambridge society for many years was Miss Lucy Torrey. She lived comfortably near Harvard square, Cambridge, on an ample fortune left her by. her father. She is 54 years old. About Aug. 1 Miss Torrey went to the White mountains for a month's vacation, staying at Littleton, N. H. At the end of, two weeks a portly, good looking and welldressed man, accompanied by a white-haired woman, whom he called his sister, registered at the hotel In a short time Miss Torrey had made the acquaintance of the white-haired 8 inter.

The accident happened at Silver Creek, a small station just east of Dunkirk Here the engineer received orders to run ahead, regardless of local freight No. 6, which, the order stated, would side track for him below the station. He accordingly pulled his train of eleven cars, loaded to their full capacity, and had proceeded as far as the sharp curve two miles below the station when he saw smoke floating over the hilltop around which the curve went. The locomotive sounded warning whistles, but it was too late. "We were married at Irvlngton, in the presence of all the members of my family, at 4 this aftenuftfci. '' TERRIFIC CRASH, LIKE AN, EXPLOSION. Nobody was hurt except those in the smoking car. The sight was so horrible that 1 could not look at it, ■Mot a single car was thrown from the track, but the smoker was completely telescoped. It was a mercy that our car was not crushed also. It was a narrow escape. NEW ENGLAND COLORED MEN His story was that be was Immensely rich, owning valuable gold mines and other property in Australia. He found it impossible to even spend his income. He had studied medicine, but practised little. The sister had married a wealthy Australian, who bad died leaving bis widow millons of money, but alone in the world. For three years this brother and sister had been traveling all over the world. They had just come from the south, and were going next to California, and from there back to Australia. Mr. Grant was a well-educated man. He wore bis hair quite long, and brushed back. His gray moustache was gracefully trimmed, and he wore a diamond in his shirt front. Crying to Solve the Problem of Political Boston. Sept 15.—The colored men of New England are holding a conference in tliis city to protest against discriminations against the race in society, business, politics, otc. James M. Trotter, of Hyde park, addressed the meeting. These conferences and conventions, he said, have ceased to do any good toward ameliorating the lot of the colored men by acting upon the sentiment of the white people of the country. The fault, he continued, is our own more than that of any other race in the country that we are not free and independent men. Equality. AN OLD TUTOR. One young man in the smoker saved himself by dropping on the floor and escaiDed with a few bruises. In the five mile professional luuxlioap race there were nine (Carters, *red Wood, of TCnglatiH L being the only flfratrh man. drew out at the end of one and a half miles, and Jamea before covering two mttee.

Nielson finished first, Woodside second and Crocker third. she made lier debut four years ago In ' 'J alma," on the Boston theatre stage, wa» . covered three years ago by Auguatin DnlD, and bocMM a star of almost the first magnitude. They also know how Millionaire J ay Gould's favorite son'and heir saw in. the fair young actress the ideal woman that she was, and after vain attempts at an introduction finally secured one through a mutual friend, Robert Hilliard, the actor broker; how the Irvington greenhouses contributed to t)A fragrance of Miafc Kingdom and her widowed mother's pretty flat, and, formed into unique designs, greeted the young actress as she came forward to the footlights in response to outbursts of popular approval. They knew, too, how young Mr. Gould was an 11 o'clock a. m. and 3 o'clock p. m. caller at the Fifty-eighth street flats seven days in a week for many months, adding variety by calling evenings with a carriage and taking Miss Kingdon to and bringing her back from the theatre, now and then stopping at Delmonico's for a lunch, and how Mis Kingdon went to Europe with the Daly company, where the English people honored her as they have seldom done an American lady playing a second part. They know, too, as w«Il how the outgoing steamers each way carried bags full of sweetsoentedand saccharine-flavored billet deux, and at last one of them carried westward George himself, charged with more love and sweetness than all the mail bags. I did not learn the cause of the accident, but we were going very slow, while the freight was coming on a high rate of speed. We were just one coach length off the trestle when the collision occurred. The local freight, running thirty milee an hour to make the Silver Creek side track, collided with the pasBeugtfr train, causing one of the worst accidents ever known on the shore of Lake Erie since the Ashtabula disaster. As soon as the engines came into collision the shock lifted the baggage car of the excursion train from its trucks and drove it backward into the smoker filled with passengers. Starting in at the forward end of the car it literally mowed down the seats and crushed their doomed occupants or ground them into unrecognizable masses upon the floor. Out of the thirty-live occupants of the car but two escaped with slight injuries. The scene of the accident was in a deep cut, just where the cur we commences. The shock aroused the passengers in the rear cars, and the sound of escaping steam aroused the neighborhood. In ten minutes 500 men Ixwldes the excursionist* were on the ground. The Lake Shore and Nickel Plate railroads, upon receipt of the news of the accident, sent special trains from Buffalo and Erie filled with physicians and medical appliances. At the wreck the SIGHT WAS HORRIBLE. Most of the excursionists remained at Silver Creek, intending to return home. The regular passengers for Buffalo and other points came on another train. The second beat of the one mile world's championship was won bt Burnham, of Newton, in 3m. 8 2-5*. The doctor proposed marriage and Miss Torrey accepted him. The doctor wanted the marriage to occur at once. Min Torrey did not approve of so great haste. She suggested that they wait a year. About Sept 1 Miss Torrey left for Cambridge. Dr. Grant and bis sister were cordially invited to go with her, and make her house their headquarters, The doctor accepted the invitation. Miss Torrey and the doctor called together several times at the bank where the former had her money on deposit. By the various excuses, the doctor succeeded in getting her to draw out fully $6,000. It is said he managed also to get hold of part of it The doctor begged continually to have their marriage occur aa soon as possible. Then the sister said she was not feeling well and she feared the rigors of the New Knglawi winter which was approaching. She must go to California for her health. Two or three days of persistent pleading won the day, and in just a week's time from returning from the mountains Miss Torrey and Dr. Andrew Jackson Grant were united in marriage at Miss Torrey's house by the Rev. Dr. A P. Pea body, deanof Harvard college. That was just a week ago. " NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS It is not so much what the white man docs to us as what we allow to be done to us, and as to what we ourselves constantly do t« each other and to the race. A determination to be free would be followed by being fret. The colored man has the power to demand that which belongs to him, and has had that power for the last twenty years, but has he used it bravely? That is the question. Cause for complaint will continue, he said, until 'we have manly respect for ourselves and respect for the black blood that courses in our veins. Proud England is almoet at the feet of the Irish; America is in their hands, simply because of race pride, which we do not have." The time has come when the negro should demand a whole loaf and nothing else. He has played the half loaf game long enough.

One boy about 18 years of age was caught between the telescoping car and the window casing, his body half projectnig out into th* air thrOUfth the window. His legs were crushed into a jelly between the cars and he called piteously upon bystanders to put hiin out of his misery. From all parte of the car came the moans of the dying and seriously injured. A large number of men, (ising trimmed fir trees, which they had cut in the woods as levers, worked faithfully for two hours before even the first imprisoned man was gotten out Then entrance to the car was gained, but the progress toward the interior for the purpose of getting out the dead and wounded was slow, as the entire woodwork had to be chopped away. The dead were crushed beyond recognition, some of the bodies being crushed into a space of a few inches—brains and blood covered everything. It was Whole number of ballots, 891; necessary for a choice, 296. Martin A. Hay-nee, 1; David H. Goodell, of Antrim, 165. Charles H. Sawyer, of Dover, 425. The only place to affect the politician is at the polls. (Applause.) What matters the party to which a man belongs if he is a practical friend to the race. Much of the trouble of the colored race comes from the lack of a manly spirit When colored men have the opportunity to send to the legislature men of books, loyalty and of good character; men who can cope with the educated white men and hold their own, and, instead of doing this, select some mail not competent to stand by them, so lung they must expect to be be* hind and to be scorned and to have wrongs piled upon them. Col. Siwyer was declared the nominee. The result was greeted with applause. The nomination was then made unanimous by a rising vote. ' '' They ore likewise conversant with the walks on the Strand and drives on the row, and the (act that Col. Sawyer, on being presented to the convention, was enthusiastically received.

The next day they went to Albany. On the afternoon of Thursday the doctor's sister said that she was going out of the city to see some friends, and wanted to borrow Mrs. Grant's best bonnet.

PAPA JAY, As the work of carrying out the dead and wounded progressed many painful sights were saw. In one place, at the center of the car, David Sharp, of Erie, was riding with his 10-year-old son. When the collision occurred it seemed as if they were paralysed and unable to get out. They were caught and crushed together in a heap. Charles lidHparren, prominently connected with the Stearn's Manufacturing company of Erie, had a most marvelous escape. He was picked out of bis Beat by the drawhead of the baggage car, thrown along the top of the seats, his clothing being torn from his body, and he was eventually forcibly thrown out of the car window, having received but ■light bruises. The first visitor at the Kingdon flats yesterday was a tall young gentleman in a black Prince Albert suit, silk hat and patent IwtfW shoes. He came in a carriage at 11 o'clock, went in, came out again and dropped across the way to get a cigar. The German druggist of whom he purchased it said, "Good morning, Mr. Gould. I haven't seen you here for some time. I suppose we shall see more of you now that Miss Kingdon has returned."At the Second congressional district Re publican convention Hon. J. H.

Then ame the terrible shock, followed by the mashing of windows and the roof of the car, uid all was a mass of bleeding and struggling humanity. Men were locked in each ither's arms, covered with blood, while underneath them and on all sides lay the poor unfortunates who were instantly killed, crushed out of all human resemblance. The sight was a terrible one, and it required the -itoutest nerves to induce one to take a second look. GEORGE JAY GOULD had come with him had left an the train for New York.

Sigel, of Brie, Pa., passenger on the illfated excursion train, was 011 her way to Buffalo. She arrived here safely in the afternoon. In an interview she said: I was ia the first coach, next to the smoking car. The passenger train was a luge one, and carried a large number of exrarsionists, as well as regular passengers. The first we knew of the collision was a New York, Sept. 15.—The happiest man in all Christendom last evening was handsome George J. Gould, the crown prince of Wall street. The happiest woman was his beautiful and accomplished bride. Boston, Sept 15.—A well-known lady In Cambridge society for many years was Miss Lucy Torrey. She lived comfortably near Harvard square, Cambridge, on an ample fortune left her by. her father. She is 54 years old. About Aug. 1 Miss Torrey went to the White mountains for a month's vacation, staying at Littleton, N. H. At the end of, two weeks a portly, good looking and welldressed man, accompanied by a white-haired woman, whom he called his sister, registered at the hotel In a short time Miss Torrey had made the acquaintance of the white-haired 8 inter. Then it was learned that the brother was Dr. Andrew Jackson Grant, of Australia, born at Brighton, England, and 54 years of age.

The accident happened at Silver Creek, a small station just east of Dunkirk Here the engineer received orders to run ahead, regardless of local freight No. 6, which, the order stated, would side track for him below the station. He accordingly pulled his train of eleven cars, loaded to their full capacity, and had proceeded as far as the sharp curve two miles below the station when he saw smoke floating over the hilltop around which the curve went. The locomotive sounded warning whistles, but it was too late. "We were married at Irvlngton, in the presence of all the members of my family, at 4 this aftenuftfci. '' TERRIFIC CRASH, LIKE AN, EXPLOSION. Nobody was hurt except those in the smoking car. The sight was so horrible that 1 could not look at it, ■Mot a single car was thrown from the track, but the smoker was completely telescoped. It was a mercy that our car was not crushed also. It was a narrow escape. NEW ENGLAND COLORED MEN His story was that be was Immensely rich, owning valuable gold mines and other property in Australia. He found it impossible to even spend his income. He had studied medicine, but practised little. The sister had married a wealthy Australian, who bad died leaving bis widow millons of money, but alone in the world. For three years this brother and sister had been traveling all over the world. They had just come from the south, and were going next to California, and from there back to Australia. Mr. Grant was a well-educated man. He wore bis hair quite long, and brushed back. His gray moustache was gracefully trimmed, and he wore a diamond in his shirt front. Crying to Solve the Problem of Political Boston. Sept 15.—The colored men of New England are holding a conference in tliis city to protest against discriminations against the race in society, business, politics, otc. James M. Trotter, of Hyde park, addressed the meeting. These conferences and conventions, he said, have ceased to do any good toward ameliorating the lot of the colored men by acting upon the sentiment of the white people of the country. The fault, he continued, is our own more than that of any other race in the country that we are not free and independent men. Equality. AN OLD TUTOR. One young man in the smoker saved himself by dropping on the floor and escaiDed with a few bruises. In the five mile professional luuxlioap race there were nine (Carters, *red Wood, of TCnglatiH L being the only flfratrh man. drew out at the end of one and a half miles, and Jamea before covering two mttee. Wood then dropped out, and the remainder of the racers ran well bunched to the last quarter, when Nielsen and Woodside had a desperate brush. Nielson finished first, Woodside second and Crocker third. she made lier debut four years ago In ' 'J alma," on the Boston theatre stage, wa» . covered three years ago by Auguatin DnlD, and bocMM a star of almost the first magnitude. They also know how Millionaire J ay Gould's favorite son'and heir saw in. the fair young actress the ideal woman that she was, and after vain attempts at an introduction finally secured one through a mutual friend, Robert Hilliard, the actor broker; how the Irvington greenhouses contributed to t)A fragrance of Miafc Kingdom and her widowed mother's pretty flat, and, formed into unique designs, greeted the young actress as she came forward to the footlights in response to outbursts of popular approval. They knew, too, how young Mr. Gould was an 11 o'clock a. m. and 3 o'clock p. m. caller at the Fifty-eighth street flats seven days in a week for many months, adding variety by calling evenings with a carriage and taking Miss Kingdon to and bringing her back from the theatre, now and then stopping at Delmonico's for a lunch, and how Mis Kingdon went to Europe with the Daly company, where the English people honored her as they have seldom done an American lady playing a second part. They know, too, as w«Il how the outgoing steamers each way carried bags full of sweetsoentedand saccharine-flavored billet deux, and at last one of them carried westward George himself, charged with more love and sweetness than all the mail bags. I did not learn the cause of the accident, but we were going very slow, while the freight was coming on a high rate of speed. We were just one coach length off the trestle when the collision occurred. The local freight, running thirty milee an hour to make the Silver Creek side track, collided with the pasBeugtfr train, causing one of the worst accidents ever known on the shore of Lake Erie since the Ashtabula disaster. As soon as the engines came into collision the shock lifted the baggage car of the excursion train from its trucks and drove it backward into the smoker filled with passengers. Starting in at the forward end of the car it literally mowed down the seats and crushed their doomed occupants or ground them into unrecognizable masses upon the floor. Out of the thirty-live occupants of the car but two escaped with slight injuries. The scene of the accident was in a deep cut, just where the cur we commences. The shock aroused the passengers in the rear cars, and the sound of escaping steam aroused the neighborhood. In ten minutes 500 men Ixwldes the excursionist* were on the ground. The Lake Shore and Nickel Plate railroads, upon receipt of the news of the accident, sent special trains from Buffalo and Erie filled with physicians and medical appliances. At the wreck the SIGHT WAS HORRIBLE. Most of the excursionists remained at Silver Creek, intending to return home. The regular passengers for Buffalo and other points came on another train. The second beat of the one mile world's championship was won bt Burnham, of Newton, in 3m. 8 2-5*. The doctor proposed marriage and Miss Torrey accepted him. The doctor wanted the marriage to occur at once. Min Torrey did not approve of so great haste. She suggested that they wait a year. About Sept 1 Miss Torrey left for Cambridge. Dr. Grant and bis sister were cordially invited to go with her, and make her house their headquarters, The doctor accepted the invitation. Miss Torrey and the doctor called together several times at the bank where the former had her money on deposit. By the various excuses, the doctor succeeded in getting her to draw out fully $6,000. It is said he managed also to get hold of part of it The doctor begged continually to have their marriage occur aa soon as possible. Then the sister said she was not feeling well and she feared the rigors of the New Knglawi winter which was approaching. She must go to California for her health. Two or three days of persistent pleading won the day, and in just a week's time from returning from the mountains Miss Torrey and Dr. Andrew Jackson Grant were united in marriage at Miss Torrey's house by the Rev. Dr. A P. Pea body, deanof Harvard college. That was just a week ago. " NEW HAMPSHIRE REPUBLICANS It is not so much what the white man docs to us as what we allow to be done to us, and as to what we ourselves constantly do t« each other and to the race. A determination to be free would be followed by being fret. The colored man has the power to demand that which belongs to him, and has had that power for the last twenty years, but has he used it bravely? That is the question. Cause for complaint will continue, he said, until 'we have manly respect for ourselves and respect for the black blood that courses in our veins. Proud England is almoet at the feet of the Irish; America is in their hands, simply because of race pride, which we do not have."

One boy about 18 years of age was caught between the telescoping car and the window casing, his body half projectnig out into th* air thrOUfth the window. His legs were crushed into a jelly between the cars and he called piteously upon bystanders to put hiin out of his misery. From all parte of the car came the moans of the dying and seriously injured. A large number of men, (ising trimmed fir trees, which they had cut in the woods as levers, worked faithfully for two hours before even the first imprisoned man was gotten out Then entrance to the car was gained, but the progress toward the interior for the purpose of getting out the dead and wounded was slow, as the entire woodwork had to be chopped away. The dead were crushed beyond recognition, some of the bodies being crushed into a space of a few inches—brains and blood covered everything. It was Whole number of ballots, 891; necessary for a choice, 296. Martin A. Hay-nee, 1; David H. Goodell, of Antrim, 165. Charles H. Sawyer, of Dover, 425. The only place to affect the politician is at the polls. (Applause.) What matters the party to which a man belongs if he is a practical friend to the race. Much of the trouble of the colored race comes from the lack of a manly spirit When colored men have the opportunity to send to the legislature men of books, loyalty and of good character; men who can cope with the educated white men and hold their own, and, instead of doing this, select some mail not competent to stand by them, so lung they must expect to be be* hind and to be scorned and to have wrongs piled upon them. Col. Siwyer was declared the nominee. The result was greeted with applause. The nomination was then made unanimous by a rising vote. ' '' They ore likewise conversant with the walks on the Strand and drives on the row, and the (act that Col. Sawyer, on being presented to the convention, was enthusiastically received.

The next day they went to Albany. On the afternoon of Thursday the doctor's sister said that she was going out of the city to see some friends, and wanted to borrow Mrs. Grant's best bonnet.

Elgin, Ills., Sept. 15.—A disastrous fire, attended with a number of casualties, occurred here yesterday. DuBois' opera house, a three-story brick structure, took fire on the top floor. By the time the engines arrived the two upper floors were aflame, and a short time afterward the front wall fell out upon the men who were trying to save the goods in the stores on the flint floor. George Burton was hurt on the head by falling bricks; F. F. Swann had two ribs, both arm? and both legs broken, and one leg has been amputated. The doctors say he cannot live. George V.

PAPA JAY, As the work of carrying out the dead and wounded progressed many painful sights were saw. In one place, at the center of the car, David Sharp, of Erie, was riding with his 10-year-old son. When the collision occurred it seemed as if they were paralysed and unable to get out. They were caught and crushed together in a heap. Charles lidHparren, prominently connected with the Stearn's Manufacturing company of Erie, had a most marvelous escape. He was picked out of bis Beat by the drawhead of the baggage car, thrown along the top of the seats, his clothing being torn from his body, and he was eventually forcibly thrown out of the car window, having received but ■light bruises. The first visitor at the Kingdon flats yesterday was a tall young gentleman in a black Prince Albert suit, silk hat and patent IwtfW shoes. He came in a carriage at 11 o'clock, went in, came out again and dropped across the way to get a cigar. The German druggist of whom he purchased it said, "Good morning, Mr. Gould. I haven't seen you here for some time. I suppose we shall see more of you now that Miss Kingdon has returned."At the Second congressional district Re publican convention Hon. J. H.
