Sad Railroad Accident.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the follow
ing particulars of the distressing accident
which occurred on the Cincinnati and Day
ton Road near Cumminsville, on the 7th:
Mr.. Benz. F. Fessenden, farmer living
on the Mt. Pleasant road, near Pleasant
Ridge, about four miles from Hamilton,
and some fourteen miles from this city, was
on his way to .own in one-horse wagon
drawn by mule, accompanied by his wife
and two nieces, Miss Fessenden and Miss
BunIy, the latter the daughter of Jos Bun
dy, of Middletown, Conn.,, who was on a
visit to her uncle. .,..s -.-.
At the point where the accid snt occurred,
at the crossing near Jonathan Stablers the
wagon road runs across the track and as
the Z o'clock train out of this city rounded
curve, the Engineer, Seth Magown, OBJ
served the wagon and blowed the whistle.
The mule, instead of being kept of the
track, started directly across and stopped,
and all efforts on the part of Mr.. Fessenden,
failed to start him. Although the breaks
had been promptly applied, the engine
struck the vehicle just forward of the dash
board, and completely separted the wagon
from the mule. The former was carried
along the track on the cow-catcher for 8
hundred yards or more, until the train wa'
stopped, and Mrs. Fressenden was thrown
upon the locomotive. She was removed
at once to house near by, but expired il
a few minutes: As her person was very
little bruised, it is supposed that the firs
shock caused her death.
Mr.. Fessenden and his nieces were
thrown upon one side of the track with
great force. Mr.. F. had the bones of one
of his ankles crushed, and was severely in
iured in the head. At late hour last
night he lay in very critical, condition, and
his recovery was EXTREMELY doubtful, if moi
an utter impossibility. He still remains
in a room in the Depot, surrounded will
the best medical attendance the city af
fords.
Miss Fessenden and Miss Bundy were
SEVERELY cut on the head, and their per
sons badly bruised. Although seriously
injured, it is hoped that both will recover
They are now at the residence of Mr.. He'd
ges, an employee of tie Railroad Company
and are well cared for.

A Sign of the Times,

which was ofthe most marked and decided
character. AS. an indication Of their af-
fectio;hh for Mr.. Douglas, his followers gath
cred togslher as many of their old campaign
flags as they could collect, and suspended
them across the streets, fronting on the
square. 1t was discovered, however, that
one of them bore upon its folds the omin-
Gus lettersT '1f =.

hot haste and with tbsi most superlatiys
contempt, the name of Buchanan was torn
off The flag was again hoisted, and read
The Constitution,-and Breckinrldge.'
But the blank space thus left told q tale
which they wished to conceal, and again
the flag was lowered and mutilated; and
when it once more appeared over the street,
the motto was in this shape.

The blank spaces made the motto ap-
pear most ridiculous, apd excited so much
merrimsnt among the bystanders, that the
indignant friends of Mr.. Douglas again
lowered the flag and with rage and NOR
tiication stripped the colors Of the entire
motto, The Constitution and all.

. A GAME TlaAr Two, COULD PLAY AT
Several days ago a well dressed scamp got
upon the cars at Chattanooga, and BY some
means escaped the vigilance ofthe .conduc-
tors until he reached Huntsville, Here
conductors changed, and Mr. Fowler took
charge of the train. and in making bis first
round to collect tickets, between Madison
and Huntsville, he found the door Of one
of the private saloons fastened. The brake
man assured him that there was man in
the saloon, and without suspecting foul
play, he told the brakeman to point out
the man to him when he came out, so that
he might collect his ticket. Fowler had
no sooner made his round than out came
the gentleman, thinking all was safe
When he took his seat in the car, be. rer
moved his hat from his head, and put It
under his seat. When called upon for his
ticket, remarked that while in the saloon,
he poked his head out Of the window W
breathe fresh air, and was so unfortunate
as to loose his hat, with his ticket in the
band, and he could not think Of paying
twice. The conductor told him he regret
ted the circumstances very much, but As Il
was one for which the railroad company
was not to blame, he would be compelled
to make him pay second time, or else
make him leave the train at Madison sta
ton. The scamp was indignant. Fowler
demonstrated in his usual polite, but firm
way, until the station was reached, when he
informed him that he was at the end Of his
rope, and leave the cars be must. Finding
there was no backing down, he reached un-
der his seat, drew out his hat, and started
to leave the cars, when Fowler told him
be would have to exercise his duty as con-
ducter again-and that the fact Of his hav-
inc lost his own, did not entitle him to take
a fellow-traselrs' hat-for that the com
pany would be responsible. Whefsdpon
he took charge of the hat, and showed the
gentleman of the cars Huntsville Ala,

10 The funeral of the venerable ELISHA Mason,
whose death noticed last week. took place at the
Congregational church on Friday. The services
were very interesting and impressive. An admira-
bly, arranged sermon was preached by Rev. D. L.
Parmerlee and the other exercises were conducted
by Rev. L.N. Bacon, the Pastor of the church. We
had hoped for sketch of the life and services of the
deceased for publication in this weeks Enquirer,
from one who had long known him, but have recei-
we'd none.
Mr.. Mason was born on Chestnut Hill, two miles
from this village, the 9Th of April 1885, and I'M
til within few years past, has lived on the home
stead of bis father the inheritance and home OF
descendants of three generations He arrived to
years of manhood during the struggle for independ
ence, and was employed during the war in the con-
sruction of forts, bridges &C. for the army He has
directly Indirectly voted at every Presidential
lection since the organization of the government,
and has lived to the nation extended from its
rginal dimensions the Atlantic coast, to its pre-
sent expansion from ocean to ocean.
In private life, Mr.. Mason was model for all
who knew him, and we believe it may be said with
truth that he never had an enemy. He made pro-
fession of religion when e young man, and ever
maintained an exemplary Christian life

L1TcnFIELD BANK.-The New York Tribune of
Monday last says that the above Bank isnow UNDER
going examination by the Bank Commissioners,
WHICH is NOT CORRECT The Commissioners have not
been in this village since the last of April, when
they spent few days in examining the bank mi
nutely just previous to making their report to the
Legislature. In connection with the above We would
say that said Bank have just moved into their new
rooms in Seymours Brick Building in South Street,
where they are better prepared to attend to their
constantly increasing business.
