SruiXGiTEi.T). Mass., Sept. 1.?The Chi?
cago limited express for Boston broke
through a frail iron bridge on the Boston
and Albany railroad, one und a half miles
east, of Chester yesterday afternoon, and
four Wagner cars were crushed, killing at
least thirteen persons and fatally injuring
several others, while nt least a score are
badly hurt.
The list of identified dead are as follows:
J. K. Dewitt, Portland, Me., president of
the Union Mutual Life Insurance com?
pany; T. K. Kelly, of Boston; Miss Susie
Coteiug, of Boston; Mrs. C. 11. Isham, of
Philadeldhia; Miss Emma Delerty, of
Columbus, ().; H. C. Ives, of Chicago;
Frank Sedgwick, of Palmer; Express Mes?
senger John McMasters, of Springfield;
Brakeman J. H. Murray, of Greeubusb,
N. Y.; Uiiggngcinaster George W. Morse,
of Boston, \Vuglier Cnr Conductor J. C.
Stackpdle, of Hartford, Conn.; It. C. Hitch?
cock, of Bellows Falls, Vt.
The wreck Is the worst ever known on
the railroad. The bridge was being
strengthened for the big locomotives, and
the workinginen who were putting ou the
plates were at dinner when the crash
came. The locomotive passed over, the
structure, but was smashed, the water
tank being thrown a long distance. The
buffet, two sleepers and a dining car were
smashed to pieces when the struck tho
stream twenty feet below, but the day
coaches and u smoker in the rear did not
leave the track. It Is believed that there
ate two more bodies in tue ruins.
The shrieks of the imprisoned were most
terrible, and scores of people looked on
completely unnerved. The heroes of the
hour were Dr. George L. Wood, of Collins
ville, who went to the train to meet his
wife, and the colored porter and waiters
in the dining cnr, who, although bruised
and cut, did splendid work. The villHge
people soon recovered from the shock nnd
were hard at work. The hospital was a
group of apple trees in an adjoining
orchard, where scores were taken. Ox
teams arrived with loads of straw, cush?
ions, bedding und food.
Mrs. John Howard, of Boston, whose
stage numo is Hat tie Hlanchard, was one
of the five saved in the sleeper next in
front of the dining cnr, which was the
worst wrecked. She left Albany, where
the John L. Sullivan company bad ap?
peared the night before.
The injured are being cared for by tho
people of Chester. The train was running
at an ordinary rate of speeil as it., left Al?
bany on time, and nothing of danger was
feared until the moment the bridge sank
under the weight of the locomotive. The
river bed is some ten or twelve feet below
the bridge. The engine went, through
first, and four palace cars were piled upon
it, one above another.
Superintendent Cone, of Chester, who
has charge of the Mountain division of the
road, took charge of the wreck, and With
the assistance of the extra engines and sec?
tion hands here did much toward clearing
away the wreck before the arrival of tho
wreckers from Springfield. The physi?
cians of Huntington arrived on the scene
and did much to relieve the sufferings of
the injured. The scene of the . ?ident is
< but n short distance below Chester, aud is
just below the steep grade going up the
mountain.
j Tho buffet, car and two sleepers are a |
total wrack. The bridge was a two span
lattice structure, 2-Jl feet long, and was
built in 1S74.
The ill fated train was one of the fastest
expresses on the road, stopping only at
Pittsfleld from Albany to Springfield. It
carries the largest engine and best cars of
any train running west of Spriuglield.

.lack Swanson, the engineer was killed
and Fireman Cameron and Brakeman
Ford were fatally injured. Two unknown
tramps were killed and a number of others
are reported to be in the ruins.
Lord Salisbury in Parliament.

archist and an atheist, and she says she is

Using Kugllsti Coins For Weights.
Many are the uses of money, but Mr.
Joseph Newton, luto of tho Royal mint,
points out there is nt least one use which
is not generally known. This is the
availability of coins for letter weighing
when the ordinary postal weights do not
happen to be at hand. Commencing
with tho sovereign, this weighs a very
safe quarter ounce, for foreign postage,
two equaling, of course, a half ounce,
and four one ounce. Tho next denomi?
nation, tho crown piece, is just on the
right side of one ounce in weight, and
the half crown of half an ounce. Five
separate shillings, or two shillings and a
sixpence, for the ounce and half ounce,
will do as well.
Descending from gold and silver to
hard working bronze, it is found that
either three penny pieces, or five liulf
pence, or iu farthings will respectively
inako up one ounce. Another peculiarity
in regard to tho halfpenny is noted by
Mr. Newton. That is its diameter, which
is precisely ono inch, so that by using it
as a measure it will be seen that 12 half?
pence laid flat and in touch are equal
to ono foot und 3? to one yard.?London

TRIUMPHANT THACHER.
Father of the Scheuio of Awards at the
World's Fair.
Hon. John Boyd Thacher, who has
recently emerged victorious from his
prolonged and rather hentcd controversy
over tho World's
fair awards, first
attained national
fame as "the
great righting
Democrat of
northern Now
York." Ho has
twice represented
his district in the
stat?> sonnte, was
a very popular
mayor of Albany
and is a success?
ful iron manu
john boyd thacher. facturer. He was
onco n prominent candidate for his
party's nomination for governor, and. ac?
cording to the political gossips, had a nar?
row escapo from being United States
senator in place of Governor Hill.
It was Mr. Thacher who originated
tho conalboat campaign of 1880, which
was ridiculed without mercy at the start
and yet turned out a great success for
tho Democrats. He owns The Evening
Union newspaper of Albany, and both
as publisher and politician has always
been a warm friend and supporter of
Mr. Cleveland. When Mr. Thacher was
appointed commissioner of awards for
the World's fair, ho took a good look at
the existing system, and, in tho classic
language of Chicago, immediately pro?
ceeded to "kick tho stuffing out of it."
Foreign exhibitors came and saw and
kicked, but Mr. Thacher had been smart
enough to get his plan approved by con?
gress, and kicking was in vain.
In all previous world's fairs a gold, a
Filver and a bronze medal were given
for the best, second best and third best
articles respectively in each exhibit.
The immense importance of getting the
gold medal is illustrated by tho fact that
an American brewing company which
took the first prize for beer a few years
ago declared it worth $2,000,000 to them
in their business. These awards were
made by juries of three, five or seven
men, but Mr. Thacher declared the sys?
tem liable to gross perversion. Bribery
and trickery wero resorted to. ho said,
and gross injustico done because one
piano, for instance, might excel in touch,
nnother in tone, and soon. He therefore
decided that all the medals should bo of
bronze, and the special merits of each
article should bo fully set forth in the
accompanying diploma.
In tho article of beer, for instance, the
diploma will set forth tho chemical purity
and "tone" or whatever else makes the
special excellence. This, Mr. Thacher
thinks, will be fair, instructive and give
the buyer a chance and not bestow such
lavish wealth on any one man or com?
pany. Foreign exhibitors did not think
so, and there was much talk of refusals
to exhibit, but Mr. Thacher prevailed on
the objectors to agree to n compromise
which provides for appeals to larger
juries and finally to tho whole depart?
ment committee.
HISTORIC FORT HILL.
Cnllioun's Old Home Now tho Bite of an
Agricultural College.
John Caldwell Calhoun is still a pow?
er in South Carolina, though 411 years
have passed since his death, and the
proposition to utilize his old home for
educational purposes excited all tho poli?
ticians in the state. Fort Hill, as the
highland estate was named, is in the
loveliest foothill region of South Caro?
lina?that is. on a terrace' of tho Blue
Ridge and on the northwestern border
of the state. It is about two miles from
the Richmond and Danville railroad.
The summer climate is remarkably cool
for that latitude, and tho district is
among the most healthful in the world.
Calhoun was born in Abbeville dis?
trict March 18, 1782, and died in Wash?
ington city March 31, 1850, but his home
during his working life was at Fort Hill,
and there were written nearly all his
philosophical and well considered works.
Thomas G. Clcmson became owner of
the place by marriage with Calhoun's
daughter. He was at one time charge
d'affaires at Brussels and a man of po
kout hill, calhoun's home.
litical activities indicating a bright fu?
ture, but later he becanio a recluse and
after the death of his wife lived as a
hermit at Fort Hill. Ho left tho plan?
tation to tho stato on condition that an
agricultural college should bo estab?
lished there and named for him.
The result is tho Clemson Agricultural
and Mechanical college, which was
formally opened but a few days ago. Its
history is curious, ns it gave occasion
for one of the hottest lights in Carolina
IKditics. In 1880 Captain B. R. Tillman,
then a farmer of Edgefield county, began
to agitato for a state Institution to edu?
cate farmers' sons. In 1888 Mr. Clcm?
son died, and tho light over tho accept?
ance of his gift Bplit the old parties
badly. Benjamin Tillman won, how?
ever, and soon after his election as gov?
ernor tho gift was accepted and work
begun.
The old Calhoun mansion is a frame
structure painted white, with blinds of
vivid green. The spacious verandas,
v. ith big round stono columns, give a
fine southern and ancestral look, which
is greatly increased by tho grove of oaks
and an avenue of cedars leading up from
the entrance to the grounds. It is very
nearly as Calhoun left it and is occupied
by one of tho officials of the new college,
except that a large section of it has been
reserved for a Calhoun museum, The
college builjing contains dormitories lor
liOO young men. with all the best appli?
ances for agricultural and mechanical
labor and instruction,
