rhe railroad Accident.

Tn part of our issue last week, we gave an
account of a fearful accident which occurred on
Tuesday the 2lst inst, on the mountain track
The engine left Stanton that morning win
single car attached, containing the engineers and
thirty or forty passengers. While descending the
mountain on the Eastern side, the car was de-
tached from the engine and left to depend upon
its own brakes to retard its speed. The brakes
gave way, and the car being then unmanagable,
rushed into the engine. Several persons jumped
off after the collision, and one OF them-George
Clemens, a ireman-fell upon the track and hav-
ing both legs and one arm crushed by the car
died a few hours afterwards. Some four or flve
other persons were burned and bruised, but not
seriously injured The damage done to the en-
r,e and car is estimated at 500 to ST 30.
The accident is attributable solely to defect
in the brakes. and no apprehension need be felt
from, tho same cause hereafter. The cars have
since crossed the mountain repeatedly with entire
safety stopping at various points, and thus prov
ing that they are perfectly under the control OF the
brakes.
The trim on which the accident occurred was
experimental, and the passengers went AZ '"e''
own risk, contrary to the advice OF Mr. hiie'' 'ne
chief engineer.

wishes, for we know they are sincere. Our e1is-

monotonous than it was, but for his agreeable COM

seizure of letters sent to foreign parts, II suspected
of being meant for Russia. Some days after the
order was received, letter was intercepted and
the contents revealed the plan Of invasion. The
Baltimore American says:
