Serious and Fatal Accident on the Lake Shore
Railroad.

serious and fatal accident took place on
the Chicago and Milwaukee railway last Tues
day just this side of Kenosha at the south
end OF the bridge there. The cause of the
accident is said to have been the accumula-
ton of sand upon the track, blown there from
filings recently made. The engine, by this
obstruction, was thrown from the track and
went down an embankment distance of fifty
feet. The mail and baggage car followed, and
fell on top of the engine, and the express car
fell on top of the mail and baggage car. The
second class car next to the express car, and
full OF passengers, was partially thrown off
the track, hanging by the two hind trucks
The Engineer with great presence of mind
Immediately upon the discovery Of the dam
ger, reversed the engine and applied the
steam brake, thereby stopping the train and
preventing the passenger car from being
thrown from the track. There were six of
these passenger cars, and all filled with pas
sengers, and but for the heroism and pres
ence OF mind of the engineer all must have
ceen precipitated down the embankment, and
IN that case the destruction of life would
have been most fearful. As it was, not
passenger was hurt. But the safety OF the
passengers was secured only at the cost of
the lives of the engineer and the fireman.
With noble self-sacrifce they stood at their
posts, though they might have escaped, and
went down with the engine, and were so bad
~ injured that, we learn, they have since
died.
Let the names of engineer John Durff and
fireman Lewis Warren be remembered-be
ever cherished by every one of those passen-
gers-tor to their heI ole seIfsacrifce they
owe their lives. Both of these are said to
have been faithful, noble men, and universally
esteemed by those who knew them
The other persons injured were Mr.. Kit
fridge, Express messenger, and a newsboy
The former was severely bruised on the side
and cut in the forehead, but it is thought
will soon recover; the latter had his arm and
nose broken, and was badly scalded. Some
two or three other persons were also more or
less injured, but it is said not seriously

DEATH OF Prominent REBEL.-Thomas
Butler King, of Georgia, died on the 10th of
May He was for many years a leading poll
tician, serving with considerable distinction
in the State Legislature and in Congress. In
his early life he was Nuliifer, but some
what modified his views subsequently, and
identified himself with the Wing party. On
the election of Gen. Taylor, he was appointed
Collector of San Francisco, and served two
years. When the Rebellion broke out, he
took sides with his state, was sent to Europe
as Rebel Commissioner, did what he could
in that capacity, and returned home to die.
He was man of winning manners, and was
greatly respected for his fine literary tastes
and amiable personal character ~ .L- 8

FIRING Too HIGH-In a Southern newsDa-

FIRING Too HIGH.-In a Southern newspa-
per says the New York Times, we find an &C
count of the late fight near Calhoun, in Geor
gia, written by rebel correspondent on the
field; and in Western paper we find an &C
count of subsequent fight few miles south
of Calhoun, near Rome, written by Union
correspondent on the field-in both of which
accounts there is a curious analogy of state
ment concerning the ineffciency of infantry
fire from cause which has often been point
ed out. The rebel writer gives highly col
ored account of fight in which the 6 MIME
balls of tie Yankees poured over the rebel
line in an unceasing stream" and adds: ''But
one thing saved us from fearful loss of life,
and it was that tie Yankees fired entirely too
high" The Union writer, after giving an ae-
count of the very desperate fight at Rome
Crossroads, says: " 1t was a. matter of won
der, after the engagement, to ascertain that
the loss in action did not exceed seventy-hve.
1t could only be accounted for by the fact that
the rebels fired too high, their balls striking al
ways above our heads" Our soldiers in the
field should be continually reminded of these
facts
