best and most desirable Dictionary in the
United States has just been issued in an Gu
larged and revised form by the publishers
Whoever else may undertake to compile Diction-

free from slang and cant phrases as it now is
In proof of this we have only to say that his
Unabridged Dictionary is the acknowledged
standard of pronunciation and language in Eng
land and America. II is used in every fret
class College and institution of learning in both
countries, and forms the basis of the efforts of
all photographers since his day The new edi-

Another Railroad Massacre.
OVER ONE HUNDRED TROOPS KILLED
AND WOUNDED.


CINCINNATI, Sept. ls.-Last night about half
past O'Clock, n train on the Ohio and Mssssip-
ri Railroad, containing portion of col Tor
chn'a Nineteenth Illinois Regiment, while pass.
ing over a bridge near Huron, Indiana, 143
miles west of Cincinnati, fell through, killing
and wounding over 100 soldiers.
The following despatch has been received from
the operator at Hudson. dated 10 minutes after
l o'clock this morning. 60 The bridge No. IS
was broken in two. 1t let four cars down into
the bed Of the creek, and one fell on the ton OF
them The engine and one car passed over
safely. There are about one hundred wounded
and ten or fifteen killed. The Colonel Of the
regiment says there are about that number
killed, although nearly all of one company nre
missing" Ii is thought the bridge was weak-
ened by some malicious persons
CINcIENATI, Sept. lS.-The disaster on the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad proves worse than
Mt first reported. -Four passenger cars were
precpltated intO the creek, aud one box aud one
baggage car fell on top Of them. These cars
contained companies L, +, q and l. and the
latter two companies are the principal sufferers.
Up to eleven o'clock this morning about thirty
killed had been taken out, and more are sur
posed to be beneath the wreck. The impression
at the scene Is that there have been forty or ffy
killed, and about one hundred wounded There
seems to be but little doubt that the bridge had
been tampered with by malicious or traitorous
persons. The bridge was sixty feet span and
ten feet high, and was only recently inspected
Ninety two of tho wounded have arrived in
this city, and were all taken to the Marine Hos
piA.
