above this place, on Wednesday OF last
week, which resulted in the death of four
men and probable fatal injury of two others.
The facts, as near as l can ascertain them,
are as follows: An engine which had
been used for the purpose of assisting
heavy trains over the mountain, was being
brought out of the engine-house to be
attached to train of stock cars, which
were destined for the east. In the rear
OF these trains there is generally car
for the accommodation of drovers who
accompany their stock, and it was while
the engine was approaching this train
that from some cause its boiler exploded,
throwing the engine distance of thirty
feet in the air, in its descent striking
partly upon this drovers' car, and partly
upon truck loaGed.with OIL Of three
persons in the car, two were instantly
killed, and the third mangled in such
horrible manner that he expired few
hours after the occurrence. The engineer,
fireman and fagman we're on the engine
at the time of the explosion, the first of
whom was scalded and otherwise so badly
injured as to cause his death the next
day. The fireman was thrown several
rods, also badly scalded, and it is feared
internally injured The fagman was Sc
riously hurt, and his precarious condition
precludes much hope of his recovery. The
names of the killed and injured are as
follows John Hodges, KY, and A. j.
Cole, Toledo, O., drovers; Nathan Rosen
fuchs, N. Y, pedler; and James Finley,
Altoona, engineer, killed. Charles Dona-
no, of H"llidaysburg, fireman, and James
Mills, of Centreville, fagman, are the
names of the injured.
Mr.. Thos. Doran is about commencing
a new map of this city. The changes and
which have occurred since
this gentleman got up his first map, make
it desirable to have new one, and he will
doubtless meet with liberal encouragement
in his undertaking.

chaplaincy of the 110th z. v, and will

stands sans puer ct sans reproche in this
neighborhood.

The Ebensburg correspondent Of the
Democrat finds fault with our ladies visit
