ACCIDENT ON THE PENNSYL
VANIA RAILROAD

One Of the most frighlful occurrences.
almost without a parallel in the history
Of railroad cataslrophes, the great anmOi
Of property destroyed without loss Of life
being taken into consideration, occurred
Yesterday morning on The Pennsylvania
Ceatral Railroad, at Bridge Eight, span
n ing the Juanta river obout four miles
cas- tofTyrons.
As the Philadelphia express passenger
train arrived within about six huDdredfee
of Bridge Eight, across the Juianta river
he hind axle Of the tender broke in two
in the center the wheels dyiny of on beth
sides Of thes track, The train at the
time was in full notion and before the
brakes could be put on the engine reach
the bridge, dragging the two express car
which wero off the track, 70 the edge Of
The abdtment, when the coupling Be-
tween the tender and express car parted
the engine and tender passing over the
bridge without furihur injury than de
scrided put not so with the remainder Of
The cars.
The first express car was precipitated
a distance of about forty feet into the
Juniata the secead express and the bag
gage car, containing the mail and BAG
gage of the passengers, mostly freighted
with soldiers, rolled from the bridge,
breaking into a hundred pieces; fellow
ing which was the second passenger car
which as it plunged from the track into
the river, turned bottom side up. This
car drew the Philadelphia sleeping a
from the track. the front part resting on
the top of the second passenger and the
hind end on the abutment of the bridge.
The Allentown sleeping car remained
the track at the edge of the bridge, it
still being coupled to the Philadelphia
car.
The accident took place at an early
hour in the morning that most of the
passengers were either asleep or Just
waking from a morning nap, so that few
realized their p%erilous situa ZION ill the
whole affair was complete. Most Of the
passengers in the sleeping car were ava
kened by being prOmiscuously piled
either to the side or to the end Of the
car.
The ears had hardly struck before the
cry of fire was raised, the baggage aud
first and second passenger cars being
already in a blaze. This produced a
CONSERVATION among the passengers
which beggars description and their en-
ire powers were called into requisltion
to save them from being destroyed by
fire. Men who before were unable to
slir from the wounds received. orawled
from ths car windows and by great exer
ton dragged their bodice from the de-
vouring elements.
Those destroyed by fire were the bag
gage and a II the passenger cars, inclu-
ding the Allentown sleeping car. The
news of the accident was soon conmuica-
ted the inhaitants in the neighborhood,
and soon broughl men, women and chill
dren to the scene, each anxious to re-
lieve the sufferers Those passengers but
slightly wounded had saved most Of The
mail bags, containing the letters, bur the
baggage was entirely consumed.

James Karnes and John Johnson, who
i've but three or four miles from this
CITY. on the Rochester road, were visited
oy a company of "Jayhawkers." The
thieves stole all of their horses, and took
enough from their neighbors TO make a

The Question OF Taxing sales

Public opinion seems to bo rapidly sotting IN
favor Of the system oftaxstion Of sales which has
teen 50 long advocated by this journal. Tho lead
tug newspapers Of this city out IN favor Of
1t, and the papers in Phils leph,a, Troy AMI other
provincial towns, eIther openly advocate or re-
commend its adoption as an experiment that may
possibly help to swell tho internal reycnue TO ,ho
total OF three hundred millions required by NJ
fRssrsDRs during tho current, financial year. II
Is . remarkable fact, however, that speaks fagora.
bly, for the intelligence OF the prcss, that tho news
paper editors exhibit much clearer perception Of
ths value and scope Of the proposed asurc, than
the Treasury oac'als and mcubcrs Of Con-
gress. The Secretary Of the Treasury evidently
anticipates rom IL but n very modest sum Of NO,
more perhaps than a few millions = year. Tic
Commissioner exhibits clever perception u the
subject but he commits fundamental error which
shows that he is far from comprehending It's fun
significance and importance For Instance, he est
mates tho sales VI products and mercl andse a,
eleven thousand millions year on which tax Of
One-hR.f OF ono per cenL-wh'ch IL all he proposes
70 levy-would produce, he says five millions
during tho last quarter u tho current fiscal
year ending juno 30, lsd5. THIS estimate over.
looks the essential et that all articles pass through
an average Of three hands in their prugtess from
tho producer TO the consumer. by multiplying,
therefore, tho Commissioners estimate Of eleven
thousand millions Of sales three times, We have a
total Of thirty three thousand Millions VII ch
would produce at ouc.half OF one per cent y 4
immense revenue Of ono hundred aud siyty.dve
millions year, or forty -ouc millions quarter, in
place Of the 1--WE millions as estimated by the Com.
missioner.
On examination II will he found that our most
sanguine expectations Of tho probable benefits o.
the proposed system fully justified by facts and
lgures. We cannot positively fix tho amount o
sales In the loyal States, bus from tue most rcabl,
