The Means by Which They Can Be Kept Out of a House or Killed in It. From the Kansas City Star. Among the most contumacious and an- noying of spring visitors that confront the housekeepers are tHe roaches, or water bugs, who appear without solicitation, and pitch their tents wherever water is con- stantly kept. They breed with prodigious rapidity, and, unless exterminated or driven off, will soon take possession of the whole house. Prevention in this case is infinitely better than cure. Powdered borax or Per- sian powder should be sprinkled around the spots that they would like to call their own, and at least twice a week boiling wa- ter should be poured down sinks, closets and drains. Hellebore rubbed over with molasses and put around their haunts js also considered a specific. Sull more persistent regarding entrance, and still ‘der to put to flight once in, are those evilly disposed creatures whose very name sends chills up and.down the house- keeper's spinal column—the bedbugs. ‘They are exceedingly partial to some kinds of wood, and aré/not infrequently built into the very hous¥ itself. If not al- ready in, there are hundreds of ways by which they siauggle themselves in—in boxes and baskets, in the hem of a garment from the tailor’s ‘or the clear’clothes from the laundress.

FIGHTIN A RICH FIND AT SEA. Wrecked Vessel and Cargo Worth Over $100,000. Frem the New York World. The iron derelict bark Janet Court, which was abandoned early in March, was towed into port in the Erie basin Friday. She was picked up by the Innerly between Hattaras and Bermuda, and is a rich find for the crew of that vessel. She has a valuable cargo of nitrate of soda, amounting proba- bly to 2,000 tons. It is said to be worth $50 a ton, and the sailors stand a good chance of recovering sixty per cent of ship and cargo. The hull will probably bring $6,000 at auction for a coal barge, as the Janet Court is too old to refit as a sailing vessel. The vessel sighted Sandy Hook in March and was caught in the severe gales then prevailirg and blown out to sea. Her masts were finally snapped off in a squall and the dismasted vessel drifted around at the mercy of the waves for several days. A Harrison line steamer of Liverpool was hailed at last and took off the crew. It 1s fortunate that she was picked up so soon, for she was a very dangerous derelict. Her hull is tight, and there was no water in the well when found. The stanch hull would probably have floated a long time, and would have been Mable to do much damage. +0 The Perennial Pea.

The vine of the perennial pea grows much taller and thriftier than that of the sweet pea, and it can be used in many places where a low trailer would be ust- less, aud after it is once established it minds neitker the northern winter nor the southern sun.

READING EXPRESS NEGLECTED SIGNAL Excursionists on the Pennsylvania Line Run Down. THE TELEGRAPHER ARRESTED Rushing seaward at the rate of forty miles an hour, the 5:40 p.m. express train over the Reading system crashed into the side of the Red Men’s excursion train over the Pennsylvania line, which left Atlan- tic City, N. J., at 7 p.m. yesterday. , The crash occurred about a mile from Atlantic City and opposite the switch tow- er, which is maintained by both roads at the crossing of their lines. ‘The engine on the Reading express struck tidway the excursion train and plow2] through it, completely wrecking one car Scene of the Disaster. and telescoping two others, did the en- gine was wrenched and twisted into a hundred pieces and dumped into a ditch on the other side of the Pennsylvania tracks. It was impossible last night to accurately state the number of Killed and injured, but it was thought to be 150. To add to the horror of the catastrophe, fire broke out in the wrecked engine and communicated to the derailed cars, and the cries of the wounded and dying as the flames reached them were terrible to hear. The Excursionists. Yesterday morn'ng some twelve hundred and fifty happy and care free excursion- ists from Bridgeton, Miliville, Vineland and adjacent South Jersey cities, were taken down to the sea under the auspices of the Associated Lodges of Red Men. They were scheduled to leave Atlantic City on the re- turn trip at 6:30 p.m., but for some reason the train was delayed and it was not until a few moments before 7 o'clock that the train left the Pennsylvania station at South Carolina avenue. It contained upward of a thousand pas- sengers and proceeded slowly, owing to the fact, being behind time, it had forfeited the right of way. Darkness had fallen before the meadows were reached, but oui in the distance, and emanating from the switch tower at the junction of the tracks, there gleamed the white signal light which denoted a clear track and ordered the train on its way. The throttle was thrown wide open and the train, bearing its load of tired and harpy pleasure seekers, sped upon its way. From the other direction the Reading express train leaving Philadelphia at 5:40 end due at Atlantic City at 6. was mak- ing its seredule time to the sea. Under ordinary conditions this train was entitled to the right of way, but up in the switch tower George Hauser, the operator in eharge, flashed the red light toward the Reading train, warning it that a slow-up Was necessary. Hew Engineer Edward Farrer came to make the mistake will probably never be krcwn, for he was one of the first to ve Killed. Certain it is that he made a ter- rible mistake and instead of heeding the Manger signal and applying the brake he opened wide the throttle and sent his train with its burden of hundreds of Philadel- phians hurling onward. The Crash. At the crossing the trains met. The Pennsylvania engine and baggage car had passed the crossing, but the first passenger coach caught the full force of the collision. The Reading engine struck a glancing blow, but one of terrific force. This car was smashed into kindling wood, nothing being left but the roof, and as far as known not a single soul of the sixty people whom the car contained escaped with their lives, those who were not instantly killed being buried beneath the falling roof of the car and burned to death in the conflagration which followed. Through the platform of the next car the Reading engine passed completely, tele- scoping the car, which in turn wrecked the one benind it. The destroying engine then left the tracks and plunging completely across the Pennsylvania tracks, was thrown into a ditch, a twisted and splintered mass of iron, beneath which Engineer Farrer and Fireman Towne were buried, the former with his hand still grasping the throttle. From out the twisted and wrecked re- mains of the cars there came a simul- taneous shriek from the wounded and dy- ing which gave an inkling of the terrible disaster even before the switch tower operator had time to flash the news of it over the wire. Aid Dispatched. As soon as the full extent of the catas- trophe was made known at Atlantic City the entire fire department, with their en- gine; the police department, with the patrol wagons, and the entire medical force of the city were hurried to the scene, while con- veyances of every kind were pressed into service as dead wagons and ambulances. ‘The only light was that given by the lurid glare from the burning cars and the flicker- ing illumination of a few improvised torches. The chemical engine of the Goodwill Hook and Ladder Company speedily put an end to the flames in the burning engine and cars. Meanwhile the police and a host of hastily impressed aids were working like Trojans. All along both railroad embankments the dead were piled thickly, but no attempt was made to remove the bodies, the rescuing corps devoting their attention exclusively to those in whom the breath of life stiil lingered. While the injured who lay in the open were being hastily transferred to the baggage cars of e relief train, which the Reading line had sent out, another force of rescuers were endeavoring to raise the roof of the first car of the excursion train, under which fully forty passengers lay buried. It was fully two hours after the accident occurred before the roof was lifted and be- fore that time any in whom the breath of life remained when the crash came joined the dead. Awfal Scenes. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and even babes scarcely out of arms were pulled from the wreck in ghastly and bewildering succession. Seats torn from the wrecked cars were hastily improvised as stretchers, and on these bodies of the dead and injured were hastily stretched, placed in express wagons, omnibuses or any other sort of conveyance that came handiest znd hurried to Atlantic City. The old Ascension Church, at the corner of Kentucky avenue and Pacific, Atlantic City, was hastily improvised as a morgue, and there the bodies which the numerous local undertaking establishments could not accommodate were placed to await claim- ants or identification, while the city hos- pital, numberless hotels, and even the pri- vate offices of local physicians were opened for the reception of the wounded, who number no less than three hundred all told. The scenes at the wreck were of the most heartrending character. All along the tracks of the two roads were strewn the bedies of the dead and dying. Lying as if asleep beside the body of the mother lay a little child dressed in white with not a stain of blood on her clothing. A look at her little form showed that both legs had been cut eff at the ankles. Other- wise she was uninjured. But the mother lying alongside was so horribly mangled that were it not for her clothing no one would be able to tell whether the body was that of a male or female. Within a few feet lay the crushed and bleeding forms of two more children, a boy and a girl. The girl was almost completely cut in two, and her little frame crushed into a si mass. The boy by her side had had both legs cut off and had died from exhaustion. The look of agony on her face was exceedingly pathetic, and those who viewed the body turned’ their faces in horror from the heartrending sight. Clutched a Toy Shovel. Horribly cut and bruised so badly that recognition was out of the question, there lay, a little further off, the body of another child, covered with a blanket. In one hand it clutched a toy shovel, such as children use in playing in the sand on the beach. It was covered with the life-blood of the little one, and was placed on a board with its unfortunate owner and carried to the morgue. Just above the tower house the number of dead was appalling. In the gathering darkness, with nothing but the faint glim- mer of the lanterns in the hands of the rescuers, to tell curiosity seekers of the ter- rible slaughter, were a number of corpses that were laid alongside the track, walting removal to the morgue.

Several men grabbed her and sent her on the first relief train to Atlantic City. This was only one of many such scenes. It was horrible.” Excitement at Atlantic City. Atlantic City is wild with excitement. From the moment the terrible news reach- ed the city, men on wheels, in carriages, on horseback, in stages and conveyances of every description were en route to the scene, and once there excitement ran so high one knew scarcely where to turn.

All night the railroad beds were lined with people, and the Pleasantville turnpike, which skirts the tracks, was ren- dered impassable by the crowds which surged aleng it and the teams which filled it. Every one who heard of the accident was frantic to reach the place at once and inside of an hour the dead and dying were surrounded by weeping crowds of friends and strangers alike. As soon as possible relief trains were sent out by both railroads, running every fifteen minutes, bringing in the dead, dying and wounded. Bonfires burned along the route to aid in identifying the still, bloody, upturned faces of those whose lives ended so awfully, No Nerves Could Stand It. No nerves could stand the strain, and the crowds soon began to return to Atlantle City. Then there was a surging and crowd- ing which increased the excitement ten- fold. The wildest rumors were set afloat. Some stories had it that 200 were killed, and every one of Atlantic City’s visitors imagined that in that number were some friends or relations. Every coach almost was pressed into service. The people com- ing back, elck and faint from the holo- caust, met the throngs hurrying to see if they had friends among the dead, and the panic grew worse every minute. The faces of the horror-stricken people coming back told too terrible a tale without a word of speech. In the rush and push along the pike sev- eral people were injured, and one woman, it is said, had her ankle broken. All night long the excitement prevailed.
