Nine Persons Instantly KiIIedl-Thirty

wounded!
One OF the most horrible railroad accidents
that has hoccurred during the present year
happened on Saturday afternoon On tba
PENNSYLVANIA railroad three miles this side n
Lancaster, as the Day Express train reached
that point, en- route for PhIadeIphia. TIE
tram consisted ofseYen cars: The front axle
OF the third car breaking. that end of the
car at once fell to the track. and as the train
was under full headway, the rear cars ran
INTO the one to which the accident occurred
crushing to death nine persons and manning
large number ofothers-rumor says fbirtI,
or more. The scene is said TO have been
heart-rending and sickening in the extreme
1he shrleks and groans of the wounded and
dying were such as to unman the stoutest
heart, and cause many passengers to leave
the vicinity of the accident TO obtain relief
from the sad spectacle presented. The fol-
lowing Is hist of the persons who were in
stantly killed, or died within a few monents :
after the accident occurred:
Mrs. James 7. Barr, wife of the Surveyor
General of Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Willett, of New Cumberland, Cum
berland county, Pa.
Mrs. Zette, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Colonel Butler, of Lewistown, Pa.

Bernard Butler, Clerk in the Surveyor
General 5 Office, Harrisburg.
Mrs. Phillips, of Ohio.
A daughter of Mrs. Phillips, aged about Is
years.
Another daughter of Mrs. Phillips, aged
10 years.
1t is said that from thirty 60 forty persons
were wounded-and there is no cause to
doubt the truth of the report, as it seems in
credible that a smaller number would be in
Jured, when the list of killed is so extensive
as the above
Among those reported wounded are James
r. Barr, Surveyor General, and Mrs. Wolf
niger, of Harrisburg.
The bodies OF the persons killed were for
warded to the West on the express train of
Sunday morning That Of Mrs. Willetts
was brought to this city, and after being
placed IN neat coffin was sent to New
Cumberland
We are informed that the railroad track
was torn up for a distance of a hundred wards
or more. aud that three or four cars were
shattered to pieces. A bar of railroad iron
penetrated entirely through the body of one
OF the men killed. Some of the bodies are
SAID to have been horribly mutilated
Among the parties wounded some are re-
ported az having arms and legs broken, and
others sustained Injuries of every conceivable
form.
The accident is attributed to defective iron
in the axle that broke, the car to which it
was attached having beenin good condition.

REsTORATION OF POSTAL FACILI.
TIES To rEHw SOUTH.

When We incidentally read Of the reopening
of Post Offices and Postal routes and the
repairing and extension of telegraphic COM
munications throughout the Southern States,
We are apt to give it no more than passing
notice, and fail entirely to appreciate the inn
mense Importance, not only to the South but
to the whole country, of the reopening of
mail communication and the pouring of
daily and hourly instalments of books, papers,
letters, DC, representing the thoughts, ide-
as and opinions of all sections, into the here
tofore benighted regions Of the South. Free
communication and interchange of thought
is the lever of the world progress, as indi-
Gated by the experience Of all ages. The
South for years before the rebellion had
neither free mail, free speech, nor free
press, with them we would never have had
rebellion. The danger of future rebel
hon can now be avertsd by preserving the
freedom Of the press and of the mails thro'-
out the length and breadth of the land
One of the great motive powers of civiliza-
tion is free, untrammelled thought, as ex
pressed through periodicals, newspapers, in
speeches and books and in the freedom of
social intercourse. Its liberalizing influence
upon the ignorance, bigotry, and sel6shness
of the hitherto isolated communities of the
South, viii be like the genial rays of the
early summer sun upon the Earth as it
emerges from the ice and storms Of winter,
quickening into life and energy the hitherto
dormant powers of that region, and infusing
progressive spirit into its people that will
soon make those long barren, wastes to
bud and blossom as the rose, and crown with
plenty, wealth, happiness and liberty all her
inhabitants We will hail with joy the day
when not only all the old mail routes in the
South are reopened but when many new
ones shall be added, for they are the ties
that bind our Union stronger than armed
men and bayonets. But with these must go
the minister Of the gospel and the school
teacher When school house and church
stand side by side upon every Hill top
throughout the sunny south and all her
children learn to read and write and think,
we shall dismiss every fear of the cannon
and bayonet being ever again required 10
preserve our national integrity

Attempted Escape of DR. Mndd.

we have obtained from an officer of the
steamer Thomas 4. Scott, the full particu
lars OF Dr. Mudd S attempted escape differ
ing, in many particulars from the accounts
hitherto published. The prisoners at the
Iortugasa.e allowed the liberty of the island
except on the day Of vessels departure.
at night they are expected to sleep within
the fort. The night previous to the return
OF the Thomas A. Scott, DIR Mudd slept
outside the fort, in she'd and the next
morning he quietly walked on board the
steamer, dlsappeard into the lowest deck,
and sent fireman for Quartermaster Kelly.
lhs was the last that was seen of him.
Soon alter he was missed at the fort, and an
oflcer and squad sent down to search the
vessel. On the very bottom Of the vessel
lay platform, resting on two cross beams
the ottlcer thrust his sword under one side.
anl the colored soldier inserted bayonet
under the other. The roar of pain that i'm
medlately rose told that both sword and bay
onet had reached their mark; the platform
was raised, and Dr. Mudd arose aud return
ed to his status of a captive prisoner. He
was immediately brought to the fort and the
thumb-screws applied to him, and underline
pressure OF pain he acknowledged that Kelly
with whom he had formed an acquaintance
within few days, had agreed to help him
to escape on the promise of receiving Mudd's
gold watch Kelly was thereupon marched
to the fort, drum head court-nartjal held
and he was sentenced to six years imprj>-
onment and hard labor in the Tortunas.-
The vessel then sailed without Mudd or
Kelly, and the papers were forwarded to
Washington for confirmation. N 7. Trt-

IN TRIBULATION.

The cid adage that troubles never come
singiy has been fully verified by the so-called
Democracy in the recent elections. Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Iowa all came in troop.
and we're quite enough to try the patience
and test the faith of the staunchest of their
leaders, but the unkindest cut of all came
from Andy johnson on the day of the Penn
sylvania election, when he addressed the
negro troops in Washington. Because he.
in his magnanimity, had pardoned many of
their traitorous crew, they took it for grant
ed, that ne was about to turn his back upon
his friends and Tyler like, sell himself to his
country enemies. They accordingly began
to pin his name upon their flags, and pro-
fess to adopt his policy in the administration
of the government, when lol he makes a
speech and says He that IS most nseratorious
and rirtuoas aud intellectual and aoeU s,a-
formed must stand highest qoitSout regard to
color = What fall was there, in the ewes
of the Democracy. They suddenly remem-
bered that this drunken bufoon'' was not
long since "Journeyman Tailor, belong
ing to the Poor White Trash in Tsnnes-
see, and quite as suddenly forgot their late
gratitude for the pardon of their leaders.
Why cannot the Democracy still adopt the
Presidents sentiments? Do they fear that
merit, ClTtpe and Intelligence will tell disas-
trously upon their ranks, if they should be
made the test of privilege, rank and eouali-
tyr Truly they are in most desperate
quandary. To go forward, and follow the
President, is to acknowledge the Union par
ty as right. Their present position, if they
have any, is untenable. To 60 backward IS
utter destruction. Terror stricken they
stand aghast and know not what to do. Tru-
ly may they excIaim Of their future prospects,
30 dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze Of noon,
1rreYocably dark, total eclipse
Without all hope Of day p
Thus traitors meet their doom, and trea-
son its reward.

New Application of paner-

Paper pipes are composed Of paper and
mtumen. ami the process of their manufac-
ture Is very simple Paper 81! width equal
to the required length of the pipe, is passed
through a cistern Of molten bitumen. Upon
a cylinder or core having its diameter equal
to the required bore of the pipe, this paper
IS then wound, under pressure from heayi-
y-weighted cylinder, revolving in connection
with the core This insures an equal dis
trlbution of the bialmen and confnactness of
material throughout the pipe. The thick
ness, and consequently the strength of the
pipe IS regulated by the amount of paptr
eoIled on the core. When the pipe leaves
the rolling machine, the core cylinder is
withdrawn, and the interior of the tube is
coated with an inSoluble waterproof compo-
sltion. This coating protects the paper. and
forming highly glazed surface, diminishe,
the resistance of friction, an important
point as regards water pipes. A composi-
ton OF btumen and sand is applied to the
exterior OF the pipe, which protects it against
the evils to which iron fipes are liable. The
Junction OF these pipes is effected in several
ways; where they are to be subjected TO
pressure Hanged iron coupling is used In
thiscase the end OF the pipe is forced again>t
the inner projecting fange of suitably for
Ai"h HNNhSAs anu dH dinQiaf space OF
wedge section is then filed in with some of
the substance used in lining the tube. A
perfect and strong connection is thus made
between the iron socketand the pipes, which
are then jointed together by screw bolts pass
ing through the iron flanges An india rub
Der washer between the faces of the fanses
serves to make the joint water tight. These
pipes offer strong resistance to external
and internal pressure In paper read be-
fore the institution of engineers in Scotland
by MIR 0. Marquet, it is stated that btu
menized paper pipes of three inches. four
inches, and five inches diameter and half
an inch in thickness, have been tested both
slngly and joined together, and have been
found to withstand pressure of five hun
dred pounds on the square inch without
showing the least sign of weakness either in
the pipe itself or at the joints. Compared
with iron pipes, the specific gravity ufthose
OF bltumenlzed paper is as one to FIVE, while
the cost of the latter is stated to be about
one-half that of the former.
