Twenâ€" I tyâ€"five persons were either killed or inâ€" Jured. The sleeper was full of people ' and was struck in the centre and crushed. Not a person escaped unhurt, The day coaches were turned upsideâ€" down on the track. They were nearly full of passengers anrd few on board esâ€" caped injury. The passengers in the sleepers comprised many prominent people of Washington and New York. When the crash came few persons on the train except the train hands were awakened. There was not a moment‘s warning, and almost in an instant the momentous rumble of the trains wheels were succeeeded by theâ€"cries of the stricâ€" ken passengers. Those in the sleeper bore the brunt of the disaster. The car presented a ghastly spectacle. Pressed against the broken fragments of the car were almost shapeless masses with life and identity crushed out alâ€" most simultaneously. Scattered about were others in whom life still remained, but whose piteous cries were heartrenâ€" ding. For a minute the terror of the scene exaggerated, if that be possible, by the darkness and the bissing of steam from the engine, baffled the courage of the few who wereable to render aid. They soon recovered their selfâ€"possession enough to turn to the practical work that was before them, and the work of rescue Sbegan, â€" There was an awilul plenty of flr â€"for be reached were quickly, placed ‘beside: ‘the wreck until they could be removed to a more suitable. ra _of" the wounded were so med in by the debris that it required considerabie Colic, softens the gums and reduces inflamâ€" mation, and gives tone and energy to the whole system. _ ‘"Mrs. Winslow‘s Soothing Nyrup" for children teething is gleasant to the taste and is the prescription of one of the oldest and best female physicians and nurses in the United States.

In the neyt boring they struck the platform at nigetyâ€"eight feet ; then a fall of eighteen inches, when the auger came into contact with as supposed, the side of the cark, as the auger, revolving close to the side of the cask, gave ajerky and irregular motion. The auger brought up several splinâ€" ters of oak and & brown, fibrous sub stance like the husk of a cocoarut. Nothing more was done until 1850, when a new shaft was sunk ten feet from the money pit to a depth of 109 feet, and while tunneling to the money pit, the water burst in and they fled for their lives, and in twenty minutes there was fortyâ€"five feet of water in the new pit. At this time they made the discovery that the water was salt, and rose and fell with the tides. The idea of an artiticial channel saggested itself and they searched the shore, and,buildâ€" ing a coffer daim at a suspicious spot, they found the sand and beach gravel replaced by rocks, and on removing them they found five well constructed drains converging into one inain chanâ€" nel, A high tide carried the dam away, and they went in some distance from the shore to sink a shaft and strike the channel, as they could not afford to reâ€" build the dam. The first pit missed the channel, but on digging the second one they encountered a large boulder at a depth of thirtyâ€"five feet, which, when pried up, was followed by a rush of water which filled the pit to tide level. They tried driving spiles, but as the apâ€" pliances at lhand were very crude the effort was a failure. Shortly after anâ€" other shaft was sunk to the south side of the money pit to the depth of 118 feet, and they tunneled directly under the money pit, and while at dinner a _ tremendous _ crash was _ heard. llushing back, they found that the botâ€" tom of the money pit had fallen into the new shwét, and thus another failure was added to the rest. _A syndicate of Halifiax capitalists combined with the old company, and another attempt was made and another failure scored. And now a Boston company has securâ€". ed a lease of the island, and they inâ€" tend to bring in the aid of scientific apâ€" paratus. _A skilled engineer has surâ€" veyed it and pronounces the task an easy one. ‘It looks as if the buried. treasure of Cipt.

Butall their capacity is, as a nule, needed to insure thein what they gonsider a comfuatable livelihood, though Europeans would would think it luxurjous, as indeed it is. Ifthese could turn their labor to any such profit they would put by a considerable part of it regularly, and so furnish the groundâ€"work of a compeâ€" tency.
