The Excursion Trnln Accident ,
Wii.hr.HiiAKiii' , Pa , Oct 11 The news of
the ternblu disaster on thu L'jhigh Valley
railroad , near Mud Run , lo a tialn which
was n section of an uxc msion train returning
from Hnrlctati , was icceivcd about 10 o'clock
last night. Nc.irl } six thousand Luzcrno
und Laekavvamm people had gonu there and
no onu know who had returned. All the
efforts of thu crazed people lo get any infer
tnation of thu rallto.ul ofildals regarding the
wreck weru fruitless , us the ofllcials du-
clared thuy knew nothing. No dispatches
lould bu c'otten over thu wires , livery
nieniiH was taken lo gut Information , but all
to no purpose A New Jerse } Central train
finally brought news to tlio effect that eighty
wcro killed , and tlic excitement gicw in
tense. There wcru suvcut } eight cais from
Wllkesbanc to Harlelon , the number of pas-
scngurH being about r > , .V)0. )
'Ihroughout the night the depot was
thronged by liundiedsof people suffeiing un
told agony ovcf the uncertainty Tliu throng
wus loud In its denunciation of the company
for refusing all information and causing
needless suffering. Many persons wanted
to go to Iho sc enu of the disaster and en
deavored to charter a locomotive but were
unable to do so.
Man } pi rsons , aftci wailing from 10 to S in
the morningtook a Irain winch passed heru
at H 1(1 ( and wont to thu si cut1 of the disastei
Theio it was leaincd that the third section
had stood on tlio tiauk n few hundied jiuds
from Mud Run waiting for the sections ahead
to get out of the way. A flagman had been
ftcnt back with a lantern to guaid the tram
fiom the rear.
Suddenly the passengers on the rear plat
form saw n train nppioaching at a high rate
of speed Seveialof those passengers who
naw the danger jumped and escaped In nn
Instant the ! e was a crash and the cngiiio
plunged her full length Into the crowded
iiiaRs of humanity. The shock drove the
rear car through the next onu two-thiids its
length , and the second car was forced into
the third
Not u single person escaped fiom the rear
car. The second was crowded with maimed
and bleeding bodies , and the third car hud
but n few who escaped. Thu shattered en
glue was pouring forlli streams of scalding
steam and water whicli hid from the eyes of
the uninjured p.nsengeis thu fullest measure
of the horrible scene , while its hissing sound
( leadened the shucks and moans of thosu
imprisoned in Ihe wreck. Sonic of Ihe dead
fiat pinioned in their seats erect ns in life.
As thu steam and smoke cleared away
nround the rear cars its awful sights weio
revealed. Timbers wcio crushed and
wrenched , vvhilo on all sides hung mangled
bodies and limbs. The few bodies which
were not mangled were burned and scalded
by steam , and little remained in the rear car
which boto human semblance.
When the shock of the ( list crash had In a
measure subsided , Ihe uninjured began
to do what they could for their
unfoitunutc companions. The few light
tools on the train weie called Into requisi
tion , but proved feeble instruments indeed.
St. Francis Pioneer corps , who were on the
train , plied with real the broad axes which
vvero meant for holiday occasions. They
wore , however , butlittlc adapted to the work
and were soon rcndcied useless ,
In the meantime the windows of the coach
were smashed In and brave men cnteied and
released those least hurt or least entangled.
A } oung ladv was found caught by Iho
lower limbs. One of her limbs was quickly
released , but the olhcr Icould not bo ficcd
and un unfortunately misdirected blow of
the axe sovcrcd it fiom Ihe body. She was
taken on board of one of the trains anil given
nil possible cat c , hut she could not survive
her ton iblu mjuiics and died in thu arms of
friends on the car.
To free Ihe bodies in Ihe rear car Ihe train
men attached a locomotive lo Ihe wrecked
engine and slartcd to pull it from the wreck.
Tlio Ilrst movement of the shattciud wreuk
hi ought from thu wounded such awful cries ,
thatthosmiouiiding fuemU ordered the en
gineer to desist on pain of his life. They did
not wish to sco thu mangled forms still
further mutilated.
The few houses about the spot wci c tin own
open to the suffering and bonlhcs wcic
lighted to aid the work of relief.
The passengers gave many different ac
counts of Ihu piobiblo cause of the accident ,
eonie atliibuling il to the negligence of the
flagman in not going back with a red light.
Others say tlio fauilli section , which ran
into the third , had no air brakes.
After the nuws wxs received at Iho hospi
tal confirming the worst fears , tha scenes at
the depot wciehuarti ending Several hundred
poisons assembled as thoii'porl spread lhat
the train was approaching on which it was
said the wounded wcio. It was learned later
that no wounded wcro on board. As the
train drew up it was found lo contain many
from Plain Valley and Minooko who had left
dead friends behind. As they alighted and
met acquaintances their .shucks and walla
were pitiful to hear. The crowd bccunc
wild with excitement. Gradually the facts
nariatcd above were gleaned from Iho more
composed.
The reuort celling abroad In Scranlon , a
number of persons who had friends on tlio
train hired a special train on which they
cftmo down lo this city. They were desirous
of going to Iho scene of Iho wreck , but were
refused pci mission by the company. Uhoy
wcro highly indignant at the treatment re
ceived ,

ROMP , Oct 11 [ New Voik Herald Cable
Special to Tin. Hi u. ] All paths lead to
Rome and hero this afternoon Emperor Will-
lam II concluded his Internalional wander
ings He was preceded by an enormous
ciowd of visitois. For thu past four days
special tiains havu followed special trains
with people ( locking in fiom every part of
Italy. The festivities must certainly liuv e a
mobt popular character. Indeed , no troops
taku parl in thu torchlight procession so that
it ma } be an entirely popular demonstration.
All the soldiers who take part in thu review
armed last night and the variety
of unifoims met with ever } where
has added much to the animation
of the cil } All last evening and during the
carl } morning to day the whole city pre
sented an extraordlnaiily animated appear
ance. Hundreds of men were working at
the stiect decorations , especially in the
neighboiliood of the railway station and
wliolc lengths via Na/ionalc. On the latter
bticct stand 110 tall Venetian masts , sup
polling banners , each mast adorned with a
shield with the name and arms of one of the
famed bundled cities of Italy. The square
pillais foiming the bases for the masts arc
painted with the Roman municipal colors ,
red and } ellow The triumphal canopy at
thu railway station , close by Diocletian's
baths , was completed last night by
loich light. The canopy consists
of ilcli golden cloth , healing the
Prussian eagles embroidered. In the center
there are also several immense rcprcsenla-
ions of mediaeval knights armed tap a pie
on horseback , disposed about the enlrancc lo
ho canopy. These ligurcs of pastcboan !
lave excited homo mild criticisms from Iho
Lilian press. The piazi termini closu to the
station , foiming a ciiclc , was converted into
a theater by a circular guard. The stand'

ow.irds and embracing St. Peters
n the Plaza di Teunini a vast triumphal
irch is modeled on Iho st.vleof theaicho :
Constantine around a semi circular plaza. The
stands accommodated several thousand per
sons. Similar stands erected along the en
tuc route were also crowded , but theic
seemed to be no very gicat demand for scats
n the balconies and windows. Similar deco
rations are seen on those stieels which Ihe
crman emperor will liaverse lo morrow 01
us.iy to the Vatican. Much of the nev
luaitcrof Rome remained in such an un
finished state as to rumlcr a uniform scheme
of decoration impossible , but there the quid
wit and good will of the Italian
found a hundred clever expedi
ents. For instance' , Ihe scaffold bones
of some lather unsightly , unliimhcd build
ings in the vastcxcdiaof the baths of Dioclo
thin , through which the emperor p asset !
from the station , were , by thu addition of
colossal speai heads attached to them , con
verted into immense uptight lances and
wreathed with evergreens A handsome
fountain , thiowing a jet llfty feet high , was
construclcd in Ihu centre of the vast ciicular
space.
While expecting the arrival of the Ger
man emperor the populace wcro reading
the following proclamation issued by the
local s.vndic1
William II , emperor and king , will arrive

which you felt on the lirs > i nuws of his v isil ,
is a guarranlco lhat Iho supreme head of thu
German pcoplu will bu received with honors
w 01 thy of so august a guest of the
grandeur of Rome. The high political
significance of tlic visit has been ciaapoil
by the whole of Italy , and especially by
Rome , which , during twenty centuries , saw
the history of the world unroll itself around
her , and for Ihe lasl eighteen ycais has been
the sacred and Impregnable citadel of Italian
* unity and umveisal freedom of thought.
The monarch who will soon be in your midst
is the giandson of the venerated
founder of the Gciman unity.
The Duchess of Kdmburgh and sulto ar

All Iho best arllsts in Rome have been worn

publishes the following details from Sir
Moi rell Muchon/ic's book on the case of the
late Kmpuior Ficdcrlck :
Dr. Macken/ie complains ho was refused
access to important documents whicli wcio
available to his assislants. Ho sis ho was
not deceived in regard to his patient's
ical condition , of which thcro was
ample proof. The German doctors
made this charge , knowing it to bo false , in
order to prejudice Frederick against his
British adviser. At the ( beginning of Octo
ber , l bT , Dr. Bcrgmann admitlcd Dr. Mac-
kciuiu's course was correct. The visit of
Frederick to Kmrland was ai ranged before
Dr. Mackenzie was summoned. On the
whole Dr. Mackenzie snjs the operation of
tracheotomy performed by Dr. Biamannwas
well done , but the tiachca wus opened Ihrco
millimeters lo Iho light of Iho middle
line. The capula used by Bramann
was of unusual shape and size , and the lower
end impinged upon the.posterior wall of the
trachea , causing destruction of the tissue ,
inlensc discomfort and consequent exhaus
tion. Dr. Bergmann diagnosed a cancer ol
the lungs thiough rinding dullness over Iho
back of Ihe liver , and t > r. Kussmunn had lo
bo brought from SlraVburV before Berg-
mann would admit his mistake. Mackenzie
don't hesitate to say that the death blow
was given the emperor on April 12
when the false passage made by Dr. Berg
mann's tube caused extensive suppuratioi
around the trachea , which steadily drainct
away the cmpeior's ' remaining strength urn'
shortened his life ten months at least ,
ccpt when the false passage was made ant
Dr. Bergmann tinust hl lingers into th

HAVANA. cui.Timn ITS PUOHTS.
A letter has been received at the stale dc-
pailment from Consul-Gcnet.il Hosmerlo-
caled at Guatemala , which gives some very
interesliiig observations icgardliig fruit cul-
tuiomtho Central American states The
observations in the letter upon the subject of
banana cultuic will piovo very inlcresilng lo
lovers of that very delicious fruit which is
very popular in American markets , Mr.
Hosmur sayb that the favorable dcciccs on
tlio part of thu Guatemalan government , nt
whit h land can bo purchased for banana cul
ture at ,10 toli. ) cents an acre , have stimulated
the industry , and that it will probably have
the effect of producing in the American mar-
kcls not only a bctler quality of bananas but
lower pi ices. During tlic last } ear the pro
duction was four times as great as that in
any other vcar. Livingston , which is one of
the principal ports of entiy , is
within easy communication with New Or
leans , and the line of steamers pi } ing be
tween the Central Amctican states and
Louisiana , brings the fruit quickly to our
doois , and the tales of transposition arc
being reduced continually , Guatemala is
but one of the many banana-producing coun
tries in South and Central Amcric i. Of Ihe
prollls of the culture , Mr. Hosmur says :
It is estimated that 'J"iOUUU , banana plants
have been set out dm ing the past season.
The profits from a well-managed banana
plantation are vanously estimated at from
JT5 to $11)0 ) per acio each year. These most
familiar with the business inform mo lhat
this estimate is not too high.
Hananas will come to perfection In llieir
produclion in Iho course of twelve or sixteen
months' time. The avcrago cost per ucro up
to time of pioduction , u 35 The cost of
transportation to steamer vanes with Ihe
quantity produced and location of the planta
tion The piicu paid at the port per buncli
is llfty cents dining seven months , and
thirty seven and one half cents timing live
months in the } car.
The statemenls made by the consul-general
In relation to cocoa-nut culture in Guatcinal , :
is cqally of interest to Amciican rcadcis
He says :
"Tiecsaro being set out In the midst o
the banana plantations , and it is rcasoiiablo
to anticipate that there w ill bo in a few } eai s'
time a largo addition to the limited suppl } of
cocoa nuts whicli now ( hid their way onto"
the country
"Tho cultivation of cocoa nuts Is con
sldeted a very profitable business , but moie
capital is requited than is ncccssaiy for tin
outlai in thu growing of bainnas and othe
fruits Cocoa-nuts arc produced in from six
to eight years , and a plantation eight or
nine yeais old is computed to bo wortli $1 for
each irco annuall } , which would be a vcail >
income of about SIM per acre. Owing to the
long peliod whicli one would bo obliged to
wait for returns from this investment it
would bo better , doubtless , to cultivatu thu
cocoa nut tree in coniicolion with bananas ,
as lliuir sustcnanco docs not rcquiio the
samu properties of soil , and they would
begin toleld about the time of tlieimlui.il
exhaustion of the banana lieo "
A SMOOTH TEVN. .
Major Martin , Ihe eccentric represenlalivo
from Texas , is much shrewder thnn he is
generally given credit. During the war ho
was captain of the Fourth Texas icgimcnt
On their way noith to join the Army of
Northern Virginia the tioops stopped at
Richmond.
While there ono of Martin's soldlors got
into n brawl and killed a man I'hu soldier
wasatwut to bo tried , when Martin , who was
a sort of Jack lef lawjer. went to the Judge
and nalil :
" Vou let mo have that man. There's going
to bo a battle , and I promise to kill him much
sooner than } ou can hang him "
The judge handed over the prisoner to
Major Mai tin upon his promise to return him
If not Klhed. Thu man was killed the next

A imOCIUTHA ! , ADVIINISTIIATIOX.
If there IIUH ever been any doubt in the
minds of the people composing the various
political parties tin to whether this adminis
tration really means lo observe the spirit or
the letter of the civil service law , It has been
plcnrcd away by the debate In the senate
during"vhtf week on the subje-ct of the Honet
circular-order for the purpose of removing
all men , women and children in the arsenals
and annul y under the diicctlon of the war

only upon the basis of the Information ho

dcliatu tills week that to the victors should

of adtninisttatioii tlic pait } coming into
power should "clean out" the various
branches of the civil service. He stated that
it was not the purpose of pai ties lighting for

Another strong argument in favor of the
protection of thu undeveloped and partially
developed Industiies b.\ federal law sis found
in the statement Just submitted to thu do-
pattment of st.ito by Consul Monaghan , of
Mannheim , German } It shows the fallacy
of thu them les ol thu Mills tariff bill relating
to the tariff , and contiadicls the position oc
cupicil b\ the present tidiiiinistiation on Ihu
tariff subject It shows that only action by
the government will develop industries The
statement of Monaghan relates to the slt in-
dusliy of German v , and opens with thu
stiteinctil that a cuntur.v ago salt to the *
German was a luxmy , that at thai time a
pound of salt cost as much as a pound of
meat or u l.ugu loaf of bieail Thine was in
linden , previous to iSJi , only two salt woiks
in operation , and they pioduccd a far less
amount of the aiticlc than was demanded
for consumption by the citlens of Ger
many. Finiillv thu goveinmunt con
cluded to take hold of the salt in
dustry , and there wcru laws adopted
intended to encourage thu consumption of
thu homo production and bring out the de
velopment of the salt indusliy He sa.vs
"liomigs were made and salt found at 2(0 (

"While tliu cooking salt of Wcilieka and
