Railroad ACcidents-TWO on the In
GiianapOliS and Cincinnati, and One
on the MarieG a RailOad-NO Lives
Lost, but a Considerable DestFuc-
tiOn of Property.
Mr.. II. G. Lord, President of the
Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad,
had fortunate. escape day before yes
.terday in passing uninjured through
quite dangerous railroad experience.
He had taken a special train to go in
haste to Indianapolis, and was travel
ing rapidly over his own road toward
that city, when, at point some sixty
miles from Cincinnati, the train was
thrown from the track by the absence
of a rail that some trackmen were
replacing. Not knowing of the ap-
proach of the engine and car, they
were working without any idea of
endangering life, when the whistle
warned them. They made all posi-
BILE endeavors to replace the rail, and
at the same time stop the train, but
were unsuccessful in both. The en-
gineer succeeded, however, In so slack
ing his engines speed as to avoid SER
ious consequences.
The second accident occurred yes
terday morning, about six miles from
our city. The express train due here
at s o'clock, was coming along at a
rapid speed, nearly two hours behind
her time, following an accommodation
train, upon which she had been gain
ing rapidly. The latter train had
been whistled to to give the track at
a certain switch, but the other came

RATHER ENTHsIAsTTC.-A few years stnce,
some rogueish boys in a town not a thous-
and miles from the Capital of New Hamp-
shire, persuaded Joseph N, or as he
was generally called "Joe," to attend
Sunday School. Joe was an overgrown,
half witted, profane lad /; and the boys
anticipated considerable fun, but the va
rions questions ~propounded to hi Il were
so readily and correctly answered that
no one could for a moment suppose that
be was not versed in theological lore.
Joe vas ushered in and placed on o
settee in front of one on which his friends
were seated, and the recitation commenc-
cd. The teacher first questioned the
class on their regular lessons, and after
wards turned to Joe.
"My friend, who made the world we
;nhabit N
Ell I" said Joe. turning up bis eyes
like an expiring calf.

Just as he was about to give the an

serted a pin into his (Joe's) pants about

"God Almighty |" answered Joe il an
elevated tone, at the same time rising to
his feet.
"That is correct,' replied the teacher,
" but it is not necessary that you should
rise in answering a sitting posture will

Joe was seated and the catechism pro.
ceeded.

The pin was again inserted, and Joe
replied, 'hJesus Christ !" in a londer tone
than before, and again rising from his
seat.
THAT is also correct but do not
manifest so much feeling do be a little
more reserved in your manner" said the
teacher in an expostulating tone.
After Joe had Gained down, the exam
ination went on.
What will be the final doom Of all
wicked men? was the subject now up
for consideration, and as the pin was
again stuck in, Joe Numbered out with a
still higher elevation Of his body, " He'll
