Reading, Pa, Sept 20. A wreck oc
curred on tbe Reading road seventeen
miles above this plaje at :15 o'clock
last night If everything is barne out
by subsequent developments, it is the
worst wreck that bus ever occurred iu
this section in tbe hsYtory of the Read
ing road. The train wLich met with
this disaster left this city at 6:10 o'clock,
ten minutes late. It is known as the
Pottsville express and was running at
the rate of forty -live miles an hour. It
had on board probably 120 to 150 pas
sengers, and consisted of the engine,
mail and express cars and three passen
ger coaches. Above Shoemakersville,
fifteen miles above thi city, there is a
curve, where the railroad is about eigh- j
teen to twenty feet higher than the
Schuylkill liver. Here shortly before I
6 o'clock a freight train ran into a coal
train, throwing several cars of
the latter on tbe opposite track, and be
fore the train hands bad time to go bock
to warn the approaching train of the
danger the Pottsville express
CAME ABOUND THE CURVE
and fan into the wrecked coal cars on
its track. The engine went down the
embankment followed by tbe entire
train, with its human freight. Tbe
scene was one of great horror, and can
be better immagined than described.
The crjes of the imprisoned passen
gers were heartrending. It was a
scene never to be forgotten by those
who participated and survived. Some
if tbe passengers managed to crawl out
of their prisons and arouse the neigh
borhood. Word was telegraphed to
this city and help summoned, but all in
formation was refused at this point by
the railroad officials. Physicians and
surgeons and a force of 3M) workmen
were taken to the spot, and with the aid
of a traveling electro light plant the
work of clearing away the irreck was at
once proceeded with. Work was slow
and the dead and dying were taken out
with great difficulty.
Direct communication wac had with
the acene of the wreck at ll:30anditis
reported that the number killed
. WILL BEACH THIRTY. OB FORTY.
It is impossible to get the exact num"
ber and the full horror of the situation
will not be known before morcinj. At
11 p. m. Mail Agent Greenwald's body
was taken out, followed by the two hor
ribly mangled bodies of the Miihoney
City firemen on their way home from
the firemen's convention at Chester. It
is rsmored that George R. Kaecher, the
famous lawyer of Reading, is among the
killed. Sixteen of the injured was
brought on a special train to the Read
ing hospital at 11 o'clock. A papsenger
who went down with the wreck and who
was but slightly hurt says:
'When the passenger train left Read
ing the cars were all fil. ed, many of the
passengers being ladies. I sat in the
front part of the last car. The train
was going at a lively rate of speed,
Tbe passengers appeared a happy crowd

I was thrown against the side of the car
with a force that partially stunned me.

Dexvf.b, Sept 21. It is learned that
tbe Atchison Topeks & Santa Fe has
not only bought the Midland, but has
also secured an option on the Rio
Grande Western. The move will change
the railway map of Colorado, as it will
shut the Rio Grande out of its connec
tion with Ogden. Rio Grands Junction
is the connecting link between the Rio
Grande proper, Midland and Rio Grande
Western. The l o Grande and Mid
land own it jo.ntly but the interest of
the former road now becomes valueless.
The foi mal transfer of the road will
occur at the annual meeting of the Col

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Among the bills passed was one for
making the line of battle and position
of the troops of the Army of North
ern Virginia, Gettysburg, TiL, and
another to grant right-of-way through
the nublic 'irds for irrigation purpos
cs.
The noniferaiaoe report on tbe rail
road land forfeiture bill was resumed
and Mr. Morgan continued his argu
ment against it
Mr. Bate also opposed the conference
report and asked to be informed where
isidcr the bill, the forfeiture came in.
Mr. Plumb (in charge of the bill) said
that it forfeited all the lands which
under the decision of the supreme court
could be forfeited. It forfeited some
where between 7,000,000 and 10,000,003
acres. It confirmed not a single acre
to any railroad company and did not
disturb the status of any grant to rail
road companies except by terminating
the right of the companies to build any
more of their roads and by forfeiting
the grants opposite the uncompleted
portions. I
Mr. I ate said that he w as not at all
satisfied with Mr. Plumb's answer. He
desired f 0 know how much land was to
be forfeited tinder the bill and how
much was to be confirmed. Although
he desired to see those railroad lands
forfeited he was compelled to vote
against the conference report.
The vote was then taken and tbe
conference report was agreed to yeas
30, nays 13, a strict party vote.
The house anti-lottery bill was then
on motion of Mr. Sawyer, taken from
the calendar and passed without a word
of discussion.
On motion of Mr. Plumb the senate
proceeded to the consideration of the
house bill to repeal the timber culture
law s, when Mr. Plumb, who had report
ed the bill back from the committee on
nublic lands moved an amendment in
the nature of a substitute.
Mr. Manderson moved an amend
ment to section 9 of the substitute, pro
viding fiat no more than 640(instead of
100) acres should be embraced In one
town site entry. This was agreed to.
Mr. Plumb also moved to add to the
substitute a new section restricting res
ervoir sites to so much land only as
might be actually necessary for the
construction and maintenance of res
ervoirs. It was agreed to.
Mr. Teller also offered an amend.
ment (winch was agreed to) giving
right away through the public lands to
canal or ditch companies formed for
the purpose of irrigation.
Mr. Sanders offered and amendment
to section C of the substitute providing
that in the gold and silver mining re
gions of the state of Xevada
and in those states and territories in
which there were public lands contain
ing timber, and where there was no Un
Ited States law authorizing the sale of
such timber lands, residents of such
states or territories, if prosecuted for
cutting timber, might plead that it was
cut for agricultural or mining purposes
Mr. Reagan moved to add to Mr. Sann
ders' amendment A proviso that timber
so cut should be for the domestic use
only for the person cutting it (or hav
ing it cut) and should not be for sale or
speculation. After a discussion, Mr
Reagan's amendment to Mr. Sanders'
amendment was rejected and the latter
amendment was agreed an with some
modifications yeas 41, nays 3 (Messrs.
Edmunds, Quay and Spooner.)
Mr. Manderson moved to add a new
section setting apart the Annette Island
in Alexander archipelago iu southeast
ern Alaska as a reservation for the use
of the Metlakahtia Indians, who had re
cently emigrated from British Colum
bia to Alaska and to such other Alas
kan natives as might join them. He
made a statement as to the remarkable
civilization of these Indians within the
last thirty years from a condition of
canlbalism through the efforts and - un.
dertbe Influence of an Englishman
named Duncan.
The amendment was agreed to and
the bil passed, and a conference was
asked on the disagreeing votes, and
Messrs, Plumb, Pettigrew and Walthall
were appointed conferrees on the part
of the senate.

When the house met today Mr. Mc
