The Kanawna operators psy a less rate for mining tbBD we do. can sell their coal for leas than we can, and as a result they have almost knocked ns oot of the market. Under the present erudition of affairs it is itnpoestble for the coal men to get a new dollar lor an old one as a result of operat ing their mines.

Eight Persons Killed and Several Injured—The Wreck Takes Fire and Many Were Burned to Death—Some Horrible Scenes. Youngstown, O., January 14.—A frightful accident occurred this morning on the Nypano road. Passenger train No. 8, honnd for New York, on the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad, while running fifty miles an hour, strnck a freight train head end near Tallmadge, Ohio. According to the first report of the dis aster, Uolli engineers, both firemen and eight passengers were killed and funiteen passengers badly injured, hat later ad vices lessen the number of fatalities. Following is a list of the killed thcs far reported: Robert Huntington, engineer, of Galion, Ohio. Michael Walters, fireman, of Galion. William Lundy, express messenger, of Kent, O. J. 8. Reford, hrakeman, of Galion. Miss Mary Lyons, aged six, of Cherry Creek, New York. Tdree Ctainarne-D, names unknown: bonnd for New York. 8ix persons are reported seriously in jured. Tho injured are: David Thomas, of Gal ion, luggrgemaater, badly injured, at first report killed; Robert Owen, of Kent, news boy, one shoulder dislocated and had cots and brnises; Sam Douglass, engineer, of Galion, leg and head ent and bruieed and burned about the abdomen, traveling in passenger coach; James Boyd, of l’aterson, N. J., severely hurt on head and hack. Gtotge Shaw, of Galion, freight brake man, cat and bruised. Tnos Fairfax, colored, of Cleveland, leg broken and bad cuts on head. Other passengers, \?hose names were not learned, received slight injaric?, but none o! them are serious. A special from Akron gives the fol lowing At 2:27 o’clock this morning, train N'o. 8, east bound, rounding the sharp carve one and one-half miles east of Tallmadge, came suddenly upon a pirt of freight train No. 81. There was a dense fog and this conspired with other things to make the accident beyoud human power to avert Eaginecr Itched Huntington had just time to reverse Ins engine when the dreadful crash came, ard in an instant he yielded up his life. The freight was heavy and while it was climbing the crude a coup ling paited about the mindle of the train. It was decided to resort to the common expedient of doubling up. Flagmen were sent cnt, one east and arother west, to warn any approaching train. Brakcman James Bradley, an old and experienced railroader, was sent ahead to tlag the East bound passenger, which was known to be about dne. Meantime the tirst part of the broken freight train was taken to Tallmadge siding. The en gine then retnrned to the second part. A signal was then given, which is said to have been to snmmon back the tligmau stationed at the east. Flagman Bradley took it to be lor him aleo and started back to the freight. The euginee of the freight crginc says that no recall whistle was sounded, bat at any rate Bradley heard it so and went back. Tbs freight had jnst got under motion to go to Tallmadge when Tint KXPRKSS CAMS ALONG. The momentum of tbe fast train was somewhat checked by the reversal, bat the impact was terrific nevertheless. The freight engineer and hrakeman jumped Bud escaped serious injury. Toe passenger was crushed into bits and mingled with tbe wreckage behind it. The freight en gine reared up and stood almost on end. Engineer Huntington and Fireman Wal ters of the express weie terribly crushed Toe brave engineer was diaembowled, his head crushed and 1 is limbs broken and doubled up. The passenger train con sisted of a combination baggage and ex press car and smoker, a common coach and two sleepers. The express car car ried a large quantity of line silver and bsse bullion and a Treasury eats ssid t be filled with fine gold. Strange to say tbe treasure seekers removed none of those valuables. They were unguarded fer a time. While the ex prers matter was burning a lawyer from tbe West stood by and pointing to a burn ing trank eaid: ‘'That trunk cootains $25,000 worth of books and papers. The papers cannot be duplicated and a suit in volving $25,000 depends npon the evidence they contain.” The rsitioad company ’s loss is estimated at $15,000 by the officials of the company. THK GREATEST HORROR came when the baggage ear and smoker, which telescoped with the common car, took tire. Engineer .rente, ol the Kent yard engine, five mile* off began to be imeaay, and looking down the track eaw through the trees the glare of the burning earn. After the accident the two tele scoped coaches appenrr d as one aDd from the shattered and burning cars came the groans aud shrieks of the unfortunates. Then cone the scene of terror. Tne strong struggling to escipe the horrible death by fire, the weak and hopelessly woanded praying for snccor from the dames that wore last enveloping them. One man George Shaw pinned in by the wreckage, mansged by soperhoman efforts to release his lower limbs, and escaped, cut and bruised. The last man to get ont alive was able to gn*p e.n nx handle and retain his hold nn'il he was drawn up through a gap,half dead,but wasquickly resnscica'ed. In the smoker were eight Chinamen. Five were pulled ont alive, hat half dead fright. Three were never seen after the crash, and bones and bits of chaired lie'll gathered up in a bag were about all that were fooud of them. ONE OK THE M03T PATHETIC! of all the scenes were those attending the deithof listle Mary Ann LyoD, an orphan who was being sent through from Idaho, on a second class ticket, to relatives in Cherrv Creek, N. V. An eye witness «ay* that the little girl, whose shrieks were heartrending, released herce f just before the fi-e got ti her, and fer a moment gtoped wildly ahout in the prison of near, then fell over choked by smoke, the llamts jnickly coming np to complete the dread ful work. „ . The two detached sleepers wete pulled back to Akron, and in them were brought thewonnded, whose names are g ven above. The rtmsias of the Chinamen and the remains of the little girl were brought here, as were there o! Fireman Walters The bodies of Engineer Hunt ington and of Exprets Messenger Lundy were token to Kent. The wrecking Inina from Kent and Gal:on worked trora day light until one o’clock, when the track was cleared. . The passengers in the rear I unman sleepers were hardly aroused by the con cussion. in fact no one is said to have ap prehended danger until the ofhcials in formed them of tha casualty, and bad them so make hasty toilets.

Arrangements f >r lie Funeral of Mrs. •lay Uoulil l'aiupl«t«i1. New York, January 1-1 —The arrange ment* for the funeral of Mm. Jay Gonld were completed to-day. Everything will be (lone in the simplest manner. Mi*. Gould waa about fifty years old. She was the daughter ot Daniel G. Miller, of this city, n member of the firm of Lee, Dater & Miller, dealers in produce and groceries. He amassed a fortune. The Miller homestead was on Union Square, where the Centary building now stands. It was there that Miss Helen 1). Miller spent her youth, and there she whs married to Mr. Gould ab^ut twenty-seven years 8go. Her mother, Mrs. Ann K. Miller, lives at :557 Fifth avenue. Mrs. Gonld was a gentle and attractive woman, who cared little for social dis tractions, but devoted herself to her fam ily. Without allowing it to be known publicly, she was active in charities, and her eldest daughter, Miss Helen Gonld, as sisted her in tbess good works. She bated display, and nlthoagh she possessed many valuable jewels, few perrons out side of her family circle ever saw her wear them. She took great dt light in her conntry home in Irvington and in the family trips onboard her husband’s steam yacht, the Atlanta. She spent much time among the (lowers in their conscrva toriei. It was for her that Mr, Gonld bnilt them. They cost ball's million dol lars. Mrs. Gonld had five children, all of whom are living. George, the eldest, who married Miss Edith Kiugdan, the actress, a coupler of years ago, lives at No. 1 East Forty-seventh. The others are Edward, Helen, Howard and Frank, who live with their father. At the time of bis marriage Mr. Gcutd was in the leather business and had jnst began bis ventures in railroad propertia*. He was President of the Washington and Hatland road. Early last September, when Mrs. Gonld return ed to Irvington from Saratoga, she showed the first signs of her fatal illness! In the latter part of the month she had a slight paralytic atia> k. Her physician atleaded her there for a time and then advised her removal to this city. The change seemed to benefit her, but on election day a more severe stroke which completely paralyzed lier right stde, made the case hopeless. Mi8. Could had a comfortable fortnne in ker own right, and nbe always retained the management of it, even in detail. She was a good business woman in that she Htudied derails carefully and insisted upon the eonndest investments. At times some of her funds have been loaned upon the street, thrcoEh institutions or the brokers employed by the family, and she always scrutinized the collateral carefully and nude sure there was enough of it. In a business way she was of great service to her husband, especially in nursing him and caring for him during the frightful strains to which lie has at limes been sub jected. Though not strong physically, she always eeemtd the stronger of the two in that respect. She also kept a general run of Mr. Oonld’s plans, and her ad vice was cbm asked and taken by him. In the opinion ot Mr. Could’s friends her death will be an exceedingly severe blow to him, and one that in his present condition of health, he is not likely to bear well.

Bkui.iv, January 14.—The Landtag was opened to-day. The Emperor, in hia speech opening the aeefion, declared that all the foreign rela tions of the country were triendly. He said that during hia recent visits to friendly sovereigns he gained the convic tion that Germany might confidently cher ish the hope of peace. The continued blessings of peace are shown in a gratify ing manner by the improved economic situation of artisans. The tinancial position of the country is satiafactory. An increase of 200,000,000 marks in the savings banks has proved that trade has improved. The saiisfac tory character of the finances has enabled the Government fo farther tedace taxa tion. Among the measure* announced by the Emperor to be introduced in the Landtag are bills to farther increase the compli ment* of the clergy of all denominations, to improve the position of teacher* in the national elementary schools, and for regu lating the stamp tax. Having regard tor the admittedly satisfactory results of the development of the railways, the assign ment of extraordinary resources to further extend them will be asked for. A credit will be asked for the relief of tho sufferers by the Hoods in ISAS A measure will be introduced dealing with the general ad ministration of I’osen. Will Prolong (lie Agony. London, January 14.—The Figaro’* in timation that M. de Leeseps and his asso ciates have succeeded in secnriug through the Barque Pnrisienne the issue of au enormous additional block of Panama canal shares is not regarded here as repre senting the true state of affairs. It is pos sibly true that efforts will continue to be ' made for some time to come to issue fresh shares, but it is not probable that a surtl ceently large number of purchasers can he found among the already disgusted French ptrple to realm a sum sufficient to ensnre tte success of the enterprise. Tho an nouncement hits, however, inspired heps in many quarters, and the u^ony will con stqnently be prolonged. Constable* Join the League.

London, January 14.—'I'he Globr says “The correspondence concerning the Hack ville case rurriee the snl ject beyond a merely personal incident, and renders it much more important. The argument that the retention of a foreign envoy is a question solely for the government to which the envoy is accredited to decide is an assumption fraught with the possibility of most serions results.” The GloU quotas the Lord Kulwer case, Madrid, when Lord Palmerston laid down the international law on the matter to show that Lord Salisbury followed a pre cedent which bad never been questioned until (be Amerierican election reopined the subject.
