The BURNING OF THE GREAT WESTERN MAIL.
The accident that happened to the Great
Western mail on the Pennsy lvania Railroad,
by which a number of mail pouches were des-
troyed, though happily no lives were lost, has
naturally created much excitement. The cat
astrophe occurred about two miles east of Hunt
ingdon, where the locomotive ran over a steer.
The time Of the accident was ten o'clock on
Wednesday night. When the engine ran over
the obstacle, the baggage master was considera-
bly, knocked about, but he felt that the hind
wheels ofthe car were OffIhe. track. Instantly
slgnalled the engineer tc stop, but the rope
attached to the bell on the engine either did
not work or the engineer did not hear it, and
the train ran on at fearful rate. tossing inc
car about, and finally throwing all the wheels
of the baggage car offthe track. The stove in
the baggage and mail car is firmly secured to
the floor, but it was soon loosened and broken
to pieces. the Goals flying TO all parts of the
mail compartment, and setting the bags on fire.
The space of at least five hundred yards was
dashed over at full speed, the flames increasing
and the passengers being in a perfect state OF
CONSERVATISM. Finally the train stopped, and
the half-suffocated baggage master kicked out
the Harrisburg bags, (Which the fire had not
reached AID endeavored to save some OF the
baggage. He was unable to do this because
the door had Jared open, and the smoke and
flames had completely developed the car, light
ing the wild scenery along the road, and making
scene half terrifying and half picturesque.
