shocking accidents of which we have ever heard
happened in the West Division, near the corner
Of Harrison and jefferson streets. Mrs. Smith.
the wife of George W. Smith. undertook to re fill
a common fluid lamp while it was lighted contain
ed three quarts of this inhammable stuff. The
blaze communicated to the stream, and both lamp
and can exploded in an instant, scattering the fla
ming contents over Mrs. Smith and also over her
sister, Miss Catharlne McCreesh, and a boy about
nine years of age. The three were instantly en-
veloped in flames and no one was by to render
assistance. Mrs. Smith rushed into the street
where gentleman pulled off his coat and endeav.
ored with it to extinguish the flames. Not being
able to do so, he threw her down in the gutter
and by means of the water it contained, succeed.

burned, and although still alive yesterday after.

is another consideration which should have

cate of parallel lines Of improvement (unless i'm

and as in this case. no particular advantage will
accrue from making the point of intersection at

English and American Railroads.

| The editor Of the American Railroad Journal
| who is now abroad, in correspondence with hi.
! ournal makes some interesting comparisons be-
| .ween the railroads of England and this country
| Much TINT is peculiar to the railways of England
| and the United States. grows, chiefly, out of sorne
difference between the two countries. The long
,assc, ger in use in the United States is rem
Tered necessary by its climate. There il no mode
# warming the English passenger car. The latter
irst class in moe comfortable than the Amer
can first class. but to ride in it must pnv twice
he AVERAGE charge in the United States The
fare in second class in England equals lust
about three cents per mile. In these ears Won
have nothing warmer or softer than painted wood
work. In fact there is nothing but boxes with
seats on two sides The third class cars arc still
more uncomfortable, 81 ~ to correspond in grade
and aspect h the lowest class Of travellers; the ny
cragc rate of fare in these is very nearly equal to
the first class fare some Of the best roads in
America. In addition to n high rate Of fare
baggage Is sharply looked after. For two fair
sized trunks, the traveller between Liverpool and
London has to pay -, 30 extra baggage. Travel.
ing in England at best twice NJ expensive ms in
America. One excellence Of English railroad is
what i. termed the fishing Of the rails, In the
United States one great cause of deterioration Of
way, and Of ANNOYANCE to travellers, is the broken
,'ont. No two rails ever being upon the same lr
vel. the head Of each one receives u violent blow
from the wheels, which soon abrade and destroy
it. None of this concussion, with the peculiar
noise caused thereby is felt on English roads,
Consequently, the IN Is upon them last much lon
ger than upon American roads While upon the
latter great care is taken to give the Joint firm
bearing, upon English roads the end of the rail is
entirely unsupported exrapt by the fishing bars
the balnsting not Icing allowed to touch this por
ton of the rail Its however very doubtful wlcth
er the extreme severity If climate in the United
States would permit the construction of railways

four feet of frost in the ground it would be II very
difficult thing to keep the track in place in the
winter season. In the Southern States where this
objection does not exist all the ronds should make

ATTEMPTED SriciDE.--Mr. Scott, Railroad Agent
and keeper of a Station at Odin. the junction of
the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad with the Chi
cago branch of the Central, cut his throat with n
razor yesterday morning, ut the time of the meet
ing Of the four trains there. The Station build
ing was crowded with passengers, who left the
cars to look at the terribly bloody spectacle of the
apparently dying man. But among them all SEEM
BILE of suggesting remedy or relief. The cash in
the throat was frightiul one. and the large
amount of blood shed was appalling Some large
veins were cut, but it was doubtful whether the
.jugular was severed. The man was sensible,
though much exhausted from loss of blood was
able to sit up and make up some motions towards
relieving himself of the blood that INSTRUCTED his
breathing
His wife, who was present when he applied the
razor, tainted at once fell into state Of protract-
ed Inconsistencies. When the train left, the man
was living, but small hopes were entertained OF
bis recovery.-& Louis Rep Wednesday.
