Passenger on the Train Verifies the Story of "I lie Rare Presence of Mind of Engineer lesh Says That Berry and Hendershott Were Pinned Under the Wreckage and Burned to Death.

J. M. Dyer, of Washington, D. who was on the ill-fated passenger train whjeh collided with a freight trainnear Millersburg Sunday morn- was in Sunbury Monday. Mr.

Dyer tells a very graph io story and makes perfectly clear what it feels like to be in a railroad wreck. Mr. Dyer was in the smoker, ahead of which were the baggage car and a car loaded with race horses en route to the fair at Bloombsurg. Tbe passengers were shaken up pretty badly but none were seriously injured. After the first shock the conductor ran through the train urging the pas rangers to keep their seats as it assail over ana tnere was nothing ore tofear.

Tbemale passengers, lowever, soon crowpUBd dmt ox tbe cars to see what had happened. Mr. Dyer was one of the first to reach the mass of wreckage and assisted to extricate Engineer Lesb, of Sunbury. He verifies the story of the engineer while pinned fast undei the wreck pulling out his watoh and by his heroic action preventing a wreck of the Buffalo Flyer, which was due in two minutes and thirty seconds. Mr.

Dyer says the sight was a heart apall- ing one as Conductor Berry and Brake-man Hendershott, pinned under tbe wreck, ptill alive, were burned to death. While the engine was thrown partially over the embankment, the car loaded with horses was only tilted over and hung at a Alight incline. It was understood, Mr. Dyer says, that the horses were not injured. Mr.

Dyer vas until a few years ago a resident of Gearhart township and was formerly with W. Suter, the truckman. He is at present in tbe milling business. MAY HE MURDERER. Wild Man Believed to be Slayer of Renovo Officer.

A special from Galeton says that a supposed "wild man," thought by some to be the slayer of Constable Deegan. of Renovo is at large in the Kettle Creek wilds. While Ernest Shumacher, of New Bergen, was hunting ginseng a few days ago, he came upon the embers of a fire and the partially devoured carcass of what appeared to be a woodohuck. At tbe foot of a big rock close by several poles had been placed together to maka shelter. A portion of a William sport newspaper, dated in July last, lay near the fire.

Hearing a crackling sound in tbe bushes behind him Shumacher turned and saw a queer-looking, long-haired man run away from where he had evidently been hiding behind a rook. The fellaw was without a coat, wore a cap, and his hair and whiskers were long and unkempt. He was evidently of identification, as while he ran he held his hands to his face to hide his features. Shnmaoher shouted at him, but the fellow was qnickly lost in a thicket of laurel. Shumacher attempted to follow the man but could find no trail.
