THE LATE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
The verdict of the coroner's jury in the of
the late railroad accident, account of which i
gave you in my last letter, was, ''that the said
Fairbanks came to his death on the morning of the
platform improperly placed between the two tracks
of the Fitchburg railroad opposite the depot in
Somerville-the said Fairbanks being struck by
of the freight attached to the WATERFOWL
train, and thrown upon the track that the wheels
ofsome of said cars passed over him" Think of a
companys so placing its platforms that passenger
can be struck by on the track Surely, the
public should demand stricter attention to the
public safety from the railroad corporations!
BALTIMORE, Sept. 1875 p. m.
The nearer we approach to the election the
brighter and more cheering the prospects of the
Wings; and if all work together, there is no
doubt they will, glorious triumph is in reserve.
From every part Of Maryland we have the most
cheering accounts. The Wings in the counties are
working tremendously and faithfully while those
of Baltimore city determined not to be in the
background. Out of the six representatives to
Congress, it is in our power to send FIVE. The third
district though not altogether hattering in prospect
to the Locofocos, hardly be expected by the
Wings. This has long been the stronghold of the
enemy, and but once in age is redeemed from
the benighted thraldom that hangs it. The
other five districts fully within power, and
nothing is wanted to insure complete success but
thorough determination among the Wings to do
their duty-to put shoulder to the wheel and act
promptly, energetically. do not write this for
effect, but it is the plain, unvarnished truth.
Our candidate for the fourth district, Mr.. Kenly
is daily growing in strength. He is young gen.
tleman of fine attainments and unquestonable abil-
tiles; one of those who never forsakes friend,
forgets favor. His social qualities such to
produce ardent friendships and gain enviable pop
uarity. Comparisons, it is said, odious; but
when compared with his opponent, Mr. McLane,
the contrast every respect stands out bold in his
favor. He is in the hearts of the people, and the
hearts of the people are with him. There is an in
explcable something about his social life that wins,
and retains good opinion, without any seeming
effort to gain that end. He is every inch a man.
Though small in stature, yet there Is heart in him
with the courage OF lion; and when vanquished,
either upon the held OF honor, or in the political
arena, 1t will be because, like the noble Hungari-
ans, he could not withstand overwhelming odds.
