dlso stdte ludt lne Den BOlt would lay al MIL
ler's Landing until something more was hearC
from the scene, and hold herself in readines
to take on the wounded, and bring them TO tn,
city. The Polar Star was also expected alons
every moment, and would, of course, stop a
Hermann, where il would be in her power tc
render assistance, which we hope would be The
case.
As we are writing, we hear that an express
train has gone up the road, and we defer any
further statements and comments until lis re.
turn, or intelligence is received by some other
channel.
From the St. Louis Republican Nov. ?.
The train consisting Of fourteen cars, left the
depot on Seventh street, at O'Clock, crowded
with invited guests, half hour after the time
advertised. BY tie time it reached Hermann
this delay was fully recovered, thus showing
the good condition of the track. After leaving
Hermann, the train proceeded with good speed,
and without the least difficulty, until it reached
the Gasconadp, when one OF the most disastrous
accidents occurred which has Yet thrown this
city into mourning.
The bridge across that stream gave way, and
ten Of the cars We're rreciptated distance OF
twenty-five or thirty feet. The locomotive,
from all appearances, had reached the edge Of
the first pier when the structure gave way, and,
IN falling, reversed its position entirely, the
front turning TO the east, and the wheels up
ward. On the locomotive at the time were tile
President, MIR. II. Z. Bridge, Mf. O'Sullivan,
the chief engineer OF the road, and an addition
al number OF employees.
Mr.. Bridge, ii is supposed, is the only one
saved OF the individuals named. An hour after
the disaster, voices from beneath the "reck Of
the locomotive were heard asking Tor assistance;
and when We left the scene of disaster, active
efforts We're making to relieve the suherts.-
II IS poSSbie-nay; II Is 10 be hoped, probable,
that some OF these unIortunfteS may have been
rescued.
The road enters the bridge with curve, and
this circumstance, perhaps, prevented the dis
astrr from being more fatal, as the cars thereby
we're diverted, and thus prevented from falling
directly in general uelee. Enough OF iniu-
ry, however, was accomplished. The Bag
gage car, next the engine, went down, to use
tue expression of one who Was in 1t, ''eXtretne-
" easy" without causing any serious casualty.
The first and second Passenger cars followed,
and IN these We're several killed and great
number more or less mangled.
In the third car, one 1.-TWO were killed, on
ana almost eftifefy uenIoIlsIieu, " as ress r'rsf
to lie and limb. In the fourth aud fifth cars
great many were fatally injured, aud several
instantly killed The balance OF the train foi-
lowed swiftly on their fatal eTrand, and the loss
OF life. with contuSionS more or less severe, was
dreadful.
Some of the cars plunged on those beneath
them with their pondrrous wheels, and crushed
or manned the unfortunate persons below
Others hung upon the CHIT III perpendicular
position, and two or three turned bottom up
ward down the grade. Only one-the eX-
IRENE rear car maintained It's position on the
rail.

Effect Of Know Nothingisn in Texas.

A Texas exchange gives the following per-
tinent illustration of the practical working OF
intolerance and prescription in that State, which
soon would be the same in all the new States
were they to succeed. This misfortune, how
ever, we are glad to believe, will never befall
anv State, new or old, for the thing is dead:
GAS we have predicted, it is coming to pass
that the inveterate hostility 10 foreigners, on
the part of the Know-Nothings, would end in
driving out, and preventing also from coming
IN. the more respectable and enterprising for
eigners-those even who came here to follow
industrious pursuits and avooations, and, while
dIccing fortunes for themselves and children
out of the soil, adding also to the wealth and
prosperity of the State and nation.
awe see in the New Brauntels paper of the
10Th instant that two hundred German immi-
grants arrived at Indanola on the I'd of this
month on the ship Gutenberg. All were IN
comfortable circumstances, and but for the per-
secution waged against Foreigners BY the Know
Nothings, would have contentedy settled upon
our wild lands, become purchasers OF eur soil,
and added to the Increasing wealth OF the State
But il is said that only eighty OF them resolved
to remain IN Texas the rest going to Mexico.
"There is also on foot project among the
Germans of New Braunfpls, San Antonio, and
other parts of the West, to get up company
oil emigTan,s to Costa Rica. About one hum
dred families, we arn--al hard-worklng and
industrious citizens-have determined to seek
in that country an asylum from the persecution
waged against them in this
seThe fact is, that the Know-Nothng party
have done, and are still doing, more in Texas
to prevent It's settlement and to impair its pro-
gress than we shall be able to remedy IN years
to come.
The Know-Nothings here were quite of
tended when we intlmated that the notorious
Ned Buntline was the originator OF their pure
organization. At meeting of their party held
| in Philadelphia, previous to the election he at
tended and was introduced as the "FATHER
| OF SAM Since that he RECOMMENDED the
publication of"Ned BuntIine's Own" for the
especial purpose of advocating Know-Nothing-
| ISM The course Of the order, violating all the
natural laws of society. destcrating religion and
DESTROYING public and private morals, is eml-
nenty worthy of its origin, 81 So. s
1.-THE Peoples .Adcocafe, York, Pa, which
has hitherto supported the Know-Nothing tick
ct. considers the recent result in the State con-
elusive and refuses TO go on. 1t says
"Know- Nothingism has exploded, we fear,
and we are rather sorry Tor it. itseemrd TO be
well contrived plan TO beat down the LEGO
Foco party, and tor time 1t worked most adj

result from any new party machinery.

THE ECHO.
FROM THE GERMAN OF uslyr.

A horseHan through the mountain pass
Proceeds in silent gloom;
"And haste to my loves embrace,
Or 10 the dusky tomb ~
The mountain voice replies
"The dusky tomb
And onward still the horseman rides
With glonmy thoughts.
0And .bali reach the grave 50 soon?
We'll !-iE the grave Is rest"
The voice again replies
The grave is rest"
The tears fall from the horsemans eyes,
And on his pale cheek rest;
"Snce only death can comfort me,
For me the grave is best"
Tie hollow voice replies
"The grave Is best"

Death cf a Half Century Convict.

An aged colored man known by the maine OF
ssOld Bob" who has been an inmate OF the
MARYLAND Pententlary since 1910, died at that
institution on Wednesday. He belonged TO
planter of Charles county, who was rather
severe master, and in 1902 placed him on board
a vessel, with instructions to allow no one, not
even the sen of the master, TO come on the YES
sci, and il any attempt was made TO board the
vessel, he should strike them IN the head with
a handspike. Ia the evening following the
isSueing of this mandate, the son OF the master,
in company with two of his associates, APP
preached the vessel, and attempted to board her ];
he was warned not to come on board by 'Oid
Bob" who repeated the instructions OF ms
master. and added that be would obey the Or
ders he had received The young man regar-
ding the language OF the negro Jest, rushed
heedlessly forward, and gained a position on
the vessel but no sooner had be landed than
Bob picked up the handspike and knocked him
on the head. killing him instantly. Bob was
/ immediately arrested and tried for murder and
( convicted. The circumstances OF the case un-
der which the deed had been perpetrated, SO
far secured the clemepcy of the court as to
commute his sentence to Imprisonment Tor lie.
/ The period of his confinement was about htty-
three wears, aud he was upNdTuS Vi Ohe ho"
dred wears old at the time OF his death. for a
/ number of years past, he has been spared all
/ Iaborious employment, and passed hls time IN
amusing himself in various ways, such as cultI-
waiting flowers, raising pigs, smoking herring
sc. So strongly had the habits OF i'ie IN
prison grown upon him that on several occa-
sions. when he was liberated, to test what
might be his conduct, be refused to leave the
institution, and when the gates were closed up
on him would weep like child until be was
restored to his former position HIS deport-
ment during the whole period OF his conhne-
ment was such that no fault could be found win
him.-BaHimore .fmerican.
I RgmARkABLE.-J. W. Cofroth, a, one time
connected with the Democratic press OF Phlia-
delpbia. has been elected to the Senate of Cal
iforna by the Know-Nothings. 1t IS related
of him, that at Benicia, IN 1893, ne made toe
following remark ''it ever desert the DEM
ocratic party. may my right arm be wlthered''
On the dav of election he fell from his horse
and so completely shattered his arm, that II
was thought he would be compelled to have
the limb amputated. A remarkable colnot-
dence.
