A LOCOMOTIVES RUNNING VIDA singular oc-
currence took rlace on Saturday morning at the
junction of the Western Maryland with the
Northern Central railway. The locomotive Mo-
nocacy'' of the Western Maryland railroad was
on the track of that road, as usual, ready to
back down for the passenger train of said road
which goes from the city with the mail train, and
cuts loose from said train below the junction.
BY some mistake on the part of the switch ten
der at the junction the switch was left open, and
the mail train, running at her usual and fast
speed entered the track of the Western Maryland
railroad The engineer and fireman of the West
ern Maryland railroad locomotive seeing the
danger made every effort to start the engine and
get out of the way, but the distance and time
being short they could not get the engine start
ed in time to prevent a collision, and therefore
left her to her fate. The concussion was so great
that the bolt coupling the tender with the engine
was throw out and one safety chain broken, the
tender being but slightly injured. The engine
bounded off, with but one single chain connect
ing The tender with the engine, the engineer and
fireman. with others Immediately followed on
foot. The locomotive was soon at speed of
forty miles per hour, and having full furnace
of wood there was no telling where she would he
brought mp. She passed two very short curves
on the road at fearful rate of speed, much TO
the wonderment of all along the route, not know
ing what the wild freak meant. One of the pro-
visions of the charter of the Western Maryland
Railroad Company is that the whistle is to be
sounded or the bell rang at all road crossings, but
it has not been ascertaned that this locomotive
complied strictly with this provision. 1t was for
tunate that the pumps were on at the time as the
cold water pumped into the boiler had benefi-
cient effect in arresting her wild career. The
cold water having arrested her progress, she was
found seven miles up the road, and strange TO
say, near the water station where she had been
accustomed to get her supply. When found
colored man was occupying the seat of the en-
gneer, with his fiddle, and was entertaining HIM
self and the locomotive with the tune of sJohn
Browns Soul is Marching On.r He had not
mechanical skill sufficient to shut of the valve,
and the steam getting up again by the stoppage,
she was about starting again on her wild course
as the engineer approached, seeming to fear
reprimand from her master for thus uncermoni-
ously leaving him; but the colored man said she
should not move a peg, and had, as be said,
nscotched" the wheels with wood from the ten
der. Had it not been for the pumps being on,
she would have run into the freight train east,
which was only four miles distant. The engine
and iof the Northern Central Railway were
bat slightly broken, and fortunately no passen-
gers were injured. San. 1Isa y8ad 9daat

WHEcH IS RIGHT 7-The editor Of the Maryland
journal last week, says that the President is
willing to trust the late southern rebels. BE
says, if he is willing TO trust the very leaders Of
the war, why cannot the people of the State Of
Maryland be entrusted with the elective fran
chiser' The President said himself, in reply to
the Virginia delegation
''If there were only fye thousand loyal men in
q State, or less number, but sufficient to take
charge of the political machinery Of the State
those five thousand men Of the lesser number are
entitled to it, M M
Here the President plainly expresses what man
ner Of men he IS willing to trust. We will take

Before Hon. d. e. II. Emory, Judge John T..
Ensor, Esq, States Attorney.
SATURDAY, Feb. l7th.
The court was occupied this morning in
hearing the case Of Wm. Thompson. of X, at
torney or assignee Of Philip Harvey and Jas.
CLAIM w. Alexander Murdock, commissioner OF
bounties for Baltimore county. This is an APP
plication for writ of mandamus to be direct
ed to Mr.. Murdoch. commissioner of bounties,
to compel and order him to pay to Thompson,
assignee Of Harvey, the sum Of $500 due for
bounty, and the further sum of $500 due as
bounty for CLAIM. CLAIM and Harvey gave Mr..
Thompson power Of attorney or assignment
of the amount due each of them for bounty,
but it appears they also gave other parties
powers of attorney for the same. Mr.. Thomp-
son claims that his is the first power of attor-
ney. and therefore good. The application for
this mandamus is resisted by Mr. Murdoch on
the ground that there are other claimants for
the same sum due for bounties, and Mr.. Muir
dock contends that the Comptroller of the
Treasury of the State, and not himself, is the
proper person to adjudicate who is entitled to
the amount. Without concluding the case,
court adjourned until next Saturday, February

ESCAPE OF BOYLE, THE MURDERER. On Monday
night the 18th inst, two prisoners escaped from
the Md. Penitentiary, by cutting hole through
the wall of their cells, and then scaling the outer
wall. One of them was the notorious John
Boyle, who during the war was noted horse
thief and guerilla in the lower counties of the
Western Shore. 1t will be recollected that he
murdered Capt. Watkins of Anne Arundel Coun-
ty, in cold blood, coming to his house at night,
and calling him out of his parlor, and then shoot
ing him. Strange as it may appear, he was not
tried for the murder, but for assault horse steal
ing, and sentenced 10 the Penitentiary for ten
years; the court deciding that he must serve
that term out before he could be tried for the
murder. Now he has escaped, and it is not like
ly he will ever be caught. His old haunts were
in Prince Georges and Charles Counties, and in
Virginia. A large reward should be offered for
his arrest.

the true statement Of the ease q told me
by Rev, Bishop. Taohs, who IN hid, turn

can DO regarded as being in the main true.
2as Il seems that Little Grow and others, In
Guiding two boys, went down upon the head

and that he and the two boys were engaged
in picking berries when they saw this man
Lampson and his son coming, and there
upon exchanged shots, and during the
melee Lampaon's horssgot away from him,
and an Indian boy caught II and brought
it up to whore Little Grow was. Little Grow
claimed tho horse and wished to take It
from the boys, which claim the boys we're
not disposed to allow, and the dispute
waxing warmer, one Of the boys summa-
rily ended the discussion by shooting Lit!ll
cto1 himself; after which they both mount.
ed the horse and rode Of, both agreeing
however to keep the matter secret, and ia
lead their own nation to believe that Little
Grow had been shot BY the whites. Lamp.
son after shooting land, according to. the
boys story, missing) Little Grow, went
back to the settlement and related what he
had seen to others, and when repairing to
the spot, they found the defunct carcass, Of
Mr.. Grow, and, % was perfectly, natural,
supposed that Lampson had killed him,
The boys after rsjoining their compan'
ions, told, ass had i been agreed by
them, that l.; c. had BEEN shot BY :,
whit. msn:ss,' BIT they, after l: long time,
fell opt about the ownership Of the horse,

This is the version tho :sos1 here civ.
Of the story, and it is regarded by them !.
strictly true. l must confess it bear,
