Disaster on the Troy and Greenbusn Railroad
MANY Persons injured.


AT twenty minutes before eleven O'Clock this morn
ing the locomotive Ariel with baggage and passenger
car with forty persons started upon regular trip
for Greenbush II was running at its usual speed when
within half mile Of the termination of its route the
train into by the Croon being the express train
from this city to New York The intmaton of danger
was the rushing Of the engine into the passenger car
scattering the people in all directions Some were
thrown upon the banks the track side and
down the bank towards the river on the other
side. Several persons were injured, some quite
seriously; and young lady, daughter of Hiram P.
Hunt, of Troy takco from the ruins very much
bruised and helpless Judge Hunt and another daughter
were also on the car who escaped, the latter with
slight injury The persons disabled conveyed across
the river TO Albany with all possible despatch where
the best medical attendance provided. We not
advised yet of the extent of the injuries sustained by
Miss Hunt.
What apology the conductor and engineer Of the ex
press train offer for this reckless conduct is not known
Surely the train ahead must have been seen they
knew Of it's departure from Troy few moments previous
to the under their control and the affair
bright midday and upon straight line of road. The
passenger smashed and ruined, and the Croton
considerably injured.

City or GaleMa, HI.

from the Galena Advertiser, June b.
The first white settlers in Galena here or here
abou.s, are supposed to have been Mr.. Bouthier
Jesse w. Shull, and DR.. Samuel Mua, who were ut
tracted hther by the Indian trade and the report Of
lead mines. This was in lS19 and in that year what
is known as the "Buck Lead" was discovered ac-
cording to tradition. In due time the country was
purchased BY the government, the town of Gaena
was laid Oft by its authority and the fame Of the
mines soon attracted large number of adventures
here.
We first saw Galena in 1885. 1t was then con-
gregation Of log houses, with perhaps half dozen
were then what might be expressed by the general
phrase, 'free and good hearted" There was little
or no stealing, though valuable property was ex-
posed without care, and stores were often left in
safety at night without bolt or barr and from then
till now there has been, perhaps, less thieving here
than in any commercial town Of its size in the Uni
ted States. Then, none had disposition to steal;
now, stealing is not allowed. The early settlers
were evidently melted here more by love Of adven-
ture than love of wealth. The miners worked hard
in an employment-of which there is none more
honest-but spent their earnings profusely:
There were few families in the country for long
time, and men are not strongly inclined to keep
wealth unless they can present to their own minds
the argument that they are keeping it for somebody
beside themselves. At present, we are not aware
particular. reasonable number have families for
whom they work hard to accumulate property, aud
keep it close and safe. Twice since the first settle
nent o: Galena, nearly its whole wealth has been
swept on Dy COInmcrClAl TeVulSlOnS. Inc fortunes
of some of the shrewdest were rubbed out as eec-
tualy as though visited by fire. For the last five
years, business has been prosecuted here with good
success and unsurpassed safety
Last year, there was exported by our dealers
81 264,s90 worth of lead The sales of the leading
imported articles amounted to a. 36l 1863, and the
total value Of merchandise sold was $4958,048. We
estimate that this amount will be increased at least
$4,000 900 this year. The value of articles manu-
featured wholly in part in Galena last year, was
1929 1885, This amount should be increased at least
$500 0O0 this year. 1t is also expected that the re-
cepts OF lead from the mines will be considerably
increased the last year, as the last years re-
cepts exceeded those of the year previous The
following table shows the amounts of lead produced
from these mines for the twelve years named and it
