lady about eightyseven years old, whose back was
injured. She was thrown BY the jolt from her seat,
and several persons fell upon her. She was accom-

The train, being about twenty minutes behind
time, was running faster than usual though not to
exceed thirty miles per hour. Much credit is due to
Conductor Fay for the manner in which he conducted
everything in general. In little more than two
hours after the accident train arrived from Cincn

Mr.. Montgomery, one of the passengers on the rear
car, gives us the following account of the accident:

Our RELATIONS WITH GREAT BR1rAM.-Under
date of the 25th the Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun writes:
The relations between the United States and Great
Britain were never more entirely satisfactory than at

enabled to give assurances in his message that the

mode of adjustment.
There is nothing whatever in the recent definition
of boundaries between the Belize and Guatemala or
In the proceedings of Sir W. Gore Ousley that gives
any concern whatever to this Government. Sir Gore

man, succeeds him. with such powers and instructions
as will no doubt enable him soon to make such or
