Accident 70 the Spanish nlinister at WASH
The injury sustained on "wednesday last bv the
Spanish Minister, DON L. A. de Cueto, was very se-
rious producing much solictude In his behalf among
bis numerous friends In Washington. We take from
the Intdigencer the following account Of the acct
dent by which he WAS iDjured:-
An accident occurred on the 22d inst which placed in
great jeopardy the life of the esteemed Minister from
Spain As Mr. De cueto was driving pair Of fine and
unmanageable, and dashed with headlong speed down
the avenue the direction of Thirteenth street. On
nearing Eleventh street they encountered furniture
covering from the shocks by which of Mr. de Cuetos
horses thrown violently to the ground they again
rushed forward with fearful velocity Mr. de Cucto still
held on manfully, though his servant either fell
jumped from the carriage, without, however, being in
~ ,s;, Insaus ua r AZ near
thrown violently from the vehicle which carried by
the terrified animals to the market house at which point
their course was impeded by a wagon, and they were
finally stopped. Mr. de Cueto injured in the head
and neck, but whether dangerously or not not
ascertaincd the spot. He was able to walk to
riage, in which he conveyed to his residence 1t
somewhat singular that the horses not hurt nor
the carriage broken, with the exception Of swim
gletrcc.
During his brief residence in this country, Mr. de
Cueto has won the esteem Of all who have had the
pleasure Of being associated with him, by bis ntelH
gence, accomplishments, and gentlemsnly deport-
endeavored to maintain . good understanding be-
tween his government and ours, and to supply the
place left vacant in social and political circles here
by the much regretted retirement Of the highly esti
msble Don Angel Calderon de Ia Bsrca. lt
We sincerely trust that Mr.. de Cueto may recover
from this accident He IL sedulously watched by
Mr.. Magall0n, first Secretary Of the Spanish Legar
ton, and is attended by Dn. Hall and May. The
President of the United States has called in person
at Mr.. de Cueto's to express his regret and sym.
patty.
We learn that the injury Is judged TO be IN inter
nal injury in the head. considerable quantity Of
blood was taken from his head with leeches. He
had previously bled considerably from the ears. Up
to the hour ct which 60 to press there had been
no change in his condition. t

Kennebec and Portland Railroad.

The statement Of the receipts for the last
month shows the prosperous condition of the
road, which IS gratifying to all its friends
But we have learned with surprise and re-
gret, that there is an intention TO discontinue
the evening train of cars from Portland We
trust this cannot be true. 1t seems to US that
the company could do nothing more detrimen-
tai to the interests of the road or the cOmmu-
nifty that patronizes and supports it. The
public need this accommodation, as anv one
who has occasion to travel out of the State or
even In 1t, will testify; and as is conclusive
~ proved by the fact that the receipts from
the night train are larger than from any ether
train In the twenty-tOur hours. 1t exactly
talileS with the trains from New York and
beyond, and with the convenience of those
who have business in Boston, which thew can
do IN the forenoon and leave for home in the
afternoon, and thus save time and expense.
we believe the voice of the community will
be almost universal against this discontinu-
ance, and that we do but echo their sentiments
when we respectfully demonstrate and protest
against il.
What if a few dollars would be saved in
extra wood, in clearing the track, or in anv
other particular! That is not in our iudG-
ment the true question, but it is, what does
public convenience demands The road de-
ponds on public patronage for its support, and
the interests of the community and of the road
are, and ought to be Identical The commu-
nifty require that this train and all other trains
be put through, at all hazards and at any ex-
pense, at all times and under all Circumstance
es, in spite of snow, ice and everything else :;
and such an administration of the road they
will sustain and make profitable; but one
with less energy, will be disastrous to both

Accident upon the A. & St. 1. Railroad

Soon after the morning train of Friday, from
Island Pond, had passed the station of Stark
N. H., it was stopped by snow upon the track
and scarcely had 1t ceased to move when the
whistle of the freight train which was behind
the passenger train, was heard. The con-
ductor (Mr. Gould) instantly endeavored to
slgnallze the engineer, but in vain Inc
freight train came up with considerable speed,
and smashed the passenger car badly, upset
the stove and injured moIe or less seriously a
large proportion of the 90 or % passengers
who were in the car. The fire from the stove
Immediately communicated to the wreck of the
car, which in brief space was in blaze.
The person most seriously injured was Mrs.
Taylor from N. H., on her way with two
children TO visit friends at Norway village.
She was bruised and very badly burned, so
that it is feared she may not recover. She
was seated near the stove and was so wedged
into the wreck that she could only be extri-
Gated by cutting away the side of the car
The youngest child, about year old, was
dangerously injured, the other a little bow.
she had sent forward but moment before,
and he escaped unframed. The other per-
sons materially injured, so far as we can learn,
are as follows -
VIM II. McCrillis, Esq, of Bangor, slight
dlslocatlon below the knee and badly bruised
VIM Burns, Esq, of the firm of Burns &
Fletcher, Lancaster, N. H., fractured leg.
Mr.. johnson, knee smashed. Two women
much injured and bruised. Two men, one
with arm broken and the other much bruised
A man, nose nearly cut off and legs hurt; he
was brought to Gorham station. Mr. Emery,
of Bangor, burned and bruised. Mr.. Ander-
son, Westbrook, burned. Rev. Mr. Baxter,
of Wilton, Me-, collar bone broken, very com
Portable Isaac Young. of Greenbush, Me-,
face bruised and burned and legs bruised
The latter, to whom we are chiefly indebted
for an account of the collision, was seated up
on the back seat and was thrown by the con
cusslOn forward ofthe stove, and his legs were
closely plnioned by the fragments, until the
hinder part of the car fell down, when he was
able to extricate himself and crawl out of
window. He describes the screams of the
wounded to have been heart rendIng. But for
box baggage car which was fortunately be-
hind the passenger car, the results must have
been far more serious.
Since writing the above, we have received
the following additional particulars by tele-
graph Ten injured, mostly fractures and
dlsocations, not regarded by the physicians as
dangerous. Mrs. Taylor is in a critical stu
alton. -Four only remain at Stark. The 9th
ers have been removed by their friends. Sew
eral physicians from the neighboring towns
were in attendance. All those remaining at
Stark will be able to be taken tomorrow, ex-
