morning over the Pennsylvania railroad en route for Pottsville, was wrecked a short distance from Nanticoke. The
train was going at the rate of thirty miles an hour and collided with a freight engine that was running into a

The crew on the freight engine forgot about the passenger train and neglected to flag it.

head; Michael McDERMOTT, fireman, wrist hurt; George M. MUSTLETT, express messenger, leg injured and side hurt

of the brain.
Miss May Ten BROECK was also injured, but not seriously. Samuel COLLINS's shoulders were dislocated. Mrs. COLLINS,

The Taking of Testimony of Inmates at the Institution Closed
Elmira, N. Y., Dec. 14 - The reformatory investigation was continued to-day.
William L. CORLEY, the first witness, was sent here from New York city for receiving stolen goods. He had never
been paddled but had several reports for not performing his task. Mr. BROCKWAY had treated the witness fair and
square. He had been reported unjustly several times. In his opinion, an inmate could get along all right if he
behaved himself. He had improved his education and learned a trade here. William F. McGIVERN was sent from New
York city for grand larceny in January last. He had had no difficulty in getting along as he had obeyed the rules.
He had never been punished. He had learned the printing trade since coming here and his education had been greatly
improved. Mr. BROCKWAY canceled several reports against the defendant on the latter's explanation.
John SALZINGER was sentenced here for malicious mischief in March, 1891, from New York city. He testified that
he had no complaint to make against any official of the institution. He was paddled once for violation of the rules,
receiving five or six blows. He had never been in the solitary. His education has been improved and he has acquired
a means of earning a livelihood here.
Frank VOORHIS was sent here from New York city in February, 1892. He is now in the third or convict grade. He has
been up and down in the several grades. He said that none of the officers did him any harm. He had never been paddled.
He has not only improved in education but also in his knowledge of a trade. He deserved all the reproval he received.
Arthur GRAZER was sent here from New York city in March last and he is now in the convict grade, to which he was

CRUEL MRS. SCHULER
She Will Probably Get a Lesson to Remember From Judge Ernst
Little Olga SCHULER, whose mother, Mrs. Charlotte SCHULER, was arrested at her home at No. 10 Frederick street
last Wednesday night for assaulting and abusing her child, told a pitiful story in the police court yesterday morning.
The girl is but ten years old. She testified that for the past six months her mother had beaten her two or three
times a week with a heavy trunk strap fastened to a stick, driving her from room to room, and that once she kept
her locked in the upper part of the house for two weeks. Some of Mrs. SCHULER'S neighbors testified that the child
was singularly inoffensive and apparently always ready to obey.
Mrs. SCHULER'S mind appears to be slightly unbalanced. She said she punished the girl for associating with bad
companions. She is a coarse-featured, thick-set woman with a very bad temper. When Sergeant SWANTON called to arrest
her she dropped the strap with which she was beating the child, and seizing an axe, attacked him.
Judge ERNST will decide the case to-day.

to make better terms. Last night, just before the close of business hours. Alderman LEWIS received word from one
of the men with whom he had been in communication, that his bank would take the $200,000 at 4 5-8 per cent. He
will get the notes.
