One Of those fearful railroad accidents
which chill the blood Of community With
honor, occurred this morning about II O'Clock
ut the railroad crossing on Academy street,

close upon them, when Mrs, Wilton spraug
to get or the track, but WAS not coon enough,
and the wheel caught and crushed her right
foot IN. a shocking manner.
It is supposed that Mrs. Woodward did not
sec the train at all, or ifseeingit, had no time
to escape. She was knocked, down and The
wheels passed oyer her, nearly eeyet1ne her
right leg from her body. Both the .unfortu~
nate women were picked up and taken to the
house Of Mrs. 9usns near At hand. -.

about an hour. Mrs. Whiton'a Injury was 50

hopes are entertained Of her recovery.

did not &c any ono On OF near the track save
one man, who carried Mrs. Wilton into tho
house after tho accident, aud that the cars
were running rc1y slowly at the time.

The V1xii of the Maryland Electors to
the Preftdfnt-Ihe Appo1n<n2ont Of
mf. Ehas,e ChfGf Justice.

fFrom The Baltimore American1 -
After performing tn If Official duty, the
Presidential Electors Of Maryland left An
napoiis By rail for Washington, on Wednes.
coin, who, being previously tappEiscd Of their
intention, appointed Tie hour IF s o'clock p.
m. to receive them They were very kindly
and cousteously received BY the President at
the time appointed, when Mr. Albert, Prcsi-
dent OF tho Electoral College. congratulated
his EXcr},ercy upon the work Of The day,
which he spoke Of as consummating the ex-
pressed will Of the people.
He alluded to the mission Of committee
from Baltimore to Washington, three years
ago, asking the President for some employ
ment for the industrial classes Of our city and
important resu1ts were due. It Was seed
Gown on good ground, and had brought forth
the good fruit. The success Of the Emaucl-
patton movement, and the regent signal In
lorsement Of the policy Of the Administra-
tlon, were largely dne to the fostering spirit
of1he Govel nment.
He commended the appointment of Mr..
Chase to the Chief Justlceshtp OF the su.
preme Court as meeting the public expccta-
tfon, and giving assurances that the policy Of
the Administration would be sustained by
the highest judicial tribunal. He thanked
the President for what he had done, and
wished him SUCCESS In the arduous duties Of
I
To these remarks the President very hap-
PLY responded. He had expressed himself 50
frequently regarding the great achievement
In Maryland That he had nothing new to ut
ter. He felt convinced that even those who
had opposed the adoption Of the new Consti-
tuition would lire to approve OF 1t and find
themselves benefited by the change, He WAS
happy to receive ut the hands Of the Maryland
Electors such earnest assurances Of the popu-
lar good will, and was gratitlaa the evening
before when appfised of their intention to
visit him after casting the ballots of the State.
He trusted tharhis appointment OF Chief
Justice was for the best.
The country needed assurances in regard to
two great questions, and they were assuran-
ces thai could better be given by the chaTac-
ter and ~ell-kn0wn opinions Of the appotntee
than BY any verbal pledges. In the appoint
,nent Of nj. Chase all holders Of Government
securities In America and Europe felt assured
that tue tinancial pclicy Of the Government
would be sustained by its highest judicial
tribunal In sustaining that policy, Judge
Chase would only be sustaining himself, for
b. Tas the author Of 1t. His appointment
a ~ met The public desire md expectation as
ra;c'rdcd the emancipation policy of the Gov
:s.trneot. Ills views were we'll known upon
Doth Of these great questions, and while there
were other distinguished gentlemen whose
names had been suggested sor this great trust
whose views he believed were sound upon
these important issues, Jet they did not hold
The same relation to them AZ did Mr.. Chase.
