FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENr.--On Tuesday of
ternoon at about 5 o'clock, a man apparently
70 years of age, evidently a foreigner who had
recently arrived in this country, was instantly
killed upon the track of the N. Y. and T.. X.
X. near Hackensack river. He was walking
upon the track at q point where up and down
trains were meeting, and stepping from one
track to avoid one train, he got in the way of
the other, and was instantly killed by q blow
from the cow-catcher. The body was taken
to the cold spring station.

Terrible Accident on the Pacific Railroad

On the LIST instant, an excursion train, con-
sisting of fourteen cars, crowded with invited
guests, left the depot at st. Louis, on an ex-
cursion to Jefferson City, to celebrate the OPEN
ing of the Pacific Railroad to that place.
On reaching a bridge across the Gasconade
river, the structure gave way, and ten of the
cars were precipitated a distance of twenty-five
or thirty feet into the water. The crossing is
about eight miles from the town of Herman.
Two locomotives were attached to the train,
one at the front, and the other at the rear :;
and the front one and ten passenger cars were
dred and fifty of the passengers are said to have
got out before passing the bridge, in order to
sec the structure and observe the trial of it by
so heavy a train. The road enters the bridge
with a curve, aud this circumstance, perhaps,
prevented the accident from being more fatal.
The foremost locomotive had reached the first
pier when the structure gave way. In falling
it reversed its position entirely, the front turn
ing to the east and the wheels upward. On it
at the time, were the President, Mr.. III. E.
Bridge, who was saved, and Mr.. O'Sullivan,
the chief engineer of the road, and a number
of employees, all of whom are supposed to have
been lost. The baggage car, next the engine,
went down without causing any serious injury,
and following it were the first and second pas
senger cars, in which several were killed, and
a large number more or less mangled. In the
third car, only one or two were killed, although
it was in a dangerous position and almost en-
tirely demolished. In the fourth and fifth ears
several were instantly killed, and a great many
fatally injured. On the other cars the loss of
life and the wounded were dreadful. Some of
the cars plunged on the top of those beneath
them, with their ponderous wheels crushing or
manning the unfortunate passengers, while 9th
ers hung upon the cliff in a perpendicular posi-
ton, and two or three turned bottom upward
down the grade.
The train had on board at least six hundred
persons among them were two of the military
companies of st. Louis, many members of the
press, distinguished citizens, Legislators, &c
Two physicians were among those who escap-
ed, and they rendered efficient service to the
wounded.
A despatch from st. Louis, dated the 4th,
slyS -" A train arrived here this evening.
bringing the bodies of those who were killed
on the excursion train on the Pacific railroad,
together with those badly wounIed, those but
slightly injured having previously arrived. The
whole number of killed is TWENTY-FIVE. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the number of wounded
as scarcely a man on the train escaped unhurt
Those suffering from broken limbs and severe
Commissions probably reach fifty. The bodies
of the dead are to be buried tomorrow.

III ELECTIONS!
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
The returns from the state of New York are
very meagre. They indicate the election of the
Republican state ticket, over the Know Moth
ings. The Soft and Hard vote will be about
equal. New York city gives the K.N.'s about
5000 majority.
Tioga county elects the entire democratic
ticket, but gives the Republican state ticket a
plurality of 800. Chemung elects the demo
cratic county ticket, and gives the Soft state
ticket a majority.
Returns from 1913 towns foot up as follows /:
Gardner, 39,427 Beach, 2,747 ; VALLEY,
1O,215 Rockwell, 26, l34. Gardner's plu-
rality thus far, 1928.
The Know-Nothings have probably elected
a majority of the legislature, although the re-
suit is not fully known.
LOUISIANA.

New Orleans. Nothing is yet known from the

nE- We cut the following paragraph from
the Eastom Argus, one of the s~trictest "old
line democratic" papers in the Commonwealth.
1t is a truthful statement of the causes which
produced the late apparent triumph of slavery
in Pennsylvania. Our friend HurrER has no
particular reasons to defend the National Ad-
ministration. He is the personal and political
friend of Gov. REEDER, and should by this time
be fully awakened to the intolerant and pro-
scriptive spirit of the slaveocracy. If any one
ever had reason for cutting loose from an Or
ganization which is only useful in forwarding
the purposes of the slavery-propagandists, it
is the editor of the Edstom Argas-and we
trust the time will soon come when he will re-
fuse in any way to aid in advancing the schemes
of those who have sacrificed Gov. REEDER, be-
cause he would not become a supple tool in
their hands: arrs
to construe the late Democratic triumph in Pennsylvania
into an endorsement Of the present National Aministra-
ton. 1t must require q peculiar pair Of s~pectacles 10 see
any such meaning in the result. and we pronounce It pure,
unaduIterated nonsense. In this section Of the State
where the largest majorities were given for the Democrat
ic candidates., no one thought of Mr.. Pierce or his Admin
~istration, and no one cared the snap Of q finger about Ell.
ther. The victory might with as much reason be claim
ed az an endorsement of the course of Louis Napoleon. IL
was Know Nothingism and the abominable jug Law"
that Disguised the people and swelled the Democratic
vote. 1t was a knowledge of the fact that the Democratic
party is and always has been opposed to isms Of every sort
and ~grade-to fanaticism and tyrannical laws OF every
shade-that caused the great mass of the people to flock
to its standard. 1t is all stuff for any editor to undertake
to prove anything else
