FRIGHTFUL, BUT NOT FATAL On Saturday
last as the passenger train of the Catawissa
railroad was tearing along down the noun
tain about ten miles above Catawissa some
OF the iastenings of the front truck of the
centre car broke, and lor short distance the
passengers, abou, thirty in number. had a
joting ride. The train had party moderat-
ed its speed, as it was just approaching the
longest and highest bridge at a place called
Mainville A hurricane was blowing luri-
ously up the Cauawissa valIey at The time,
and just as the engine, baggage car and half
of the second or ceUtre car had passed on
10 the bridge, Il blast of wind lifted the front
of the car off the damaged truck, letting
it down within IA few inches of The edge Of
the lofty structure. The lateral motion
tiehenet the alarm rope which runs through
the train, causing the bell OH the engine to
ringr when the engineer promptly stopped
the train. The rear car had not entered
upon the bridge, but all the passengers
knew that something was wrong. They did
not realize their happy escape from all aw-
iul disaster until they had got ont of the
train and took look at the Car, hanging as
it were, by The eyellds, l4O feet above high
water mark. Our informant states that had
the train moved on forty feet further the dis
abled car mus: have been inevitably precip-

Republican RumOr.

We see il rumored in some Of the Repub-
7ican journals that JoHN Rows is about TO
decline the nomination which he has receiv-
ed for the office of Surveyor General that
he is not willing 10 risk the platform and
that he enterlains great fears OF being butch
ered or in other words, defeated This is
just the kind o story they would have you
believe and it sounds not at all unnatural

this style If they could make you believe

Just so much capital wonld be made towards
the success of their candidate.
Ii is strange, but nevertheless true, tha,
the Republicans are the FIRST TO announce
the declination of Democratic nominees -
How is this? Rowe is not man of the
Republican party? He certainly would moi
make confdentias Of his opponents, as far as
regards politics, althey may reveal his Sc
crets. If he even harbored such thought
as declining, the Republicans would be The
last men who wonld know it. He would in
form his own party, the party that nomna'
ted him, and the party that is able TO place
him in power. Mr.. Rowe has nothing tC

Mas. CUNNINGHAM BuRDELL-The N. Y.

Mr. Hills, reporter, was induced 10 exam
Inc the nature o the matrimonial traps in

and while pursuing it he was introduced TO
Mrs. Cunningham as very agreeable wild.

three entervews. AT The third one she pro-
posed to make punch for him to cure his
cold, and she was anxious that he shonld

cllned. From the circumstances he Judged
that she wished 10 rob him, and he was
twice torcibly detained when he tried to

what he knew, as il could not be introduced

the woman in existence. As from the evil
dence now brought forward il is apparent
that the woman has still the same activity
that has characterized her through life, it is
reasonable to believe that she will continue
till she is al last oxertaken in some shame

MURDER AND A DoUBLE SUIciBE.-A teri.
BILE tragedy was enacted in the town of Eus-
ley, Newaygo county, Michigan, on Friday
night in which young man named White
was shot down in cold blood and the lille
of his father attempted, followed by the
suicide OF the perpetrators of the horrible
deed.
TIE Grand Rapids Enquirer contains the
details, from which we learn that the all.
( legged murderers are Jacob Dopp and Enos
| Merritt. Mr.. White and family had but late.
ly moved into the county from Elba, Gen.
nesse county, New York, The son was a
very eslimable young man. Merritt was
one Of the individuals who were indicted
with French in this county, some time since
for horse stealing. Dopp we believe, has
been arrested once or twice for counteeit-
ing, or passing counterfeit money, and man.
aged 10 escape from the officers. There is
much mistery as 10 the causes which led to
this dark deed. The solution which ap-
pears most probable, however, is found in
the fact that Merritt and Dopp seem to have
supposed that White had money in the
house. 1t is thought that their intention
was TO murder the whole family and then
rob the house, and that the young man was
enticed into the woods with the expectation
that his disappearance would be occasion
OF fixing suspicion upon him when the mur
der OF the rest of the family was discovered.
