RECORDERS COURT.-There were
not many cases before the Recorder
yesterday, but the assets, when col

Charley Kinkle. charged with hav-

last week, was let of by paying the
costs.
The proprietors of two keno rooms
were called upon to answer the charge
of keeping gambling houses, or places
where gaming was carried on. Both,
we believe, entered a plea of guilty,
and each was fined $50, with 81 %
costs. Security was given and the
judgment stayed for 80 days in each
case.

affidavit of Charles E. Marsh, in be-
half of himself and L. G. Stinson, a
capias ad respondendum was issued

Stephen Groves. The affidavit set
forth that the aforesaid Stephen was
indebted to the afiant and Stinson
in the sum of S130, for labor and SER
vices rendered by them as his attorn-
eys, and that he was about to leave the
State, carrying away with him goods

NEW STovEs.-The County Com
missioners have placed two new
stoves in the Court Room, which will
prove decided improvement. They
are cannon stoves, very thick, and of
large circumference, though short,
with large Russian iron drums, to
confne and radiate the heat. One
great advantage to be derived is the
doing away with the annoying rattle
caused by the frequent revival of the
fuel in the small stoves formerly in
use, these being capable of holding
coal sufficient to run them half day.
The Court House has never been in
as complete condition since it was
built as it is now. The Commissioners
have expended about $1,000 in its re-
pair during the past season, and it
was money we'll expended. c

CAUTIoN.-There were indications,
at the Democratic meeting last night,
in the First Ward, that influences
were at work to secure the election of
a Councilman from that Ward who
would favor the closing up, or reduc-
tion to an alley, of Canal Street, upon
which the Upper School House fronts.
Several gentlemen, who have been
deeply interested in that project, were
present, and active at the meeting.
The people of the First Ward have
no interest in closing up Canal Street,
and the question should not be
brought into the election to-day by
persons living out of the Ward.

Railroad Accident.

Conductor Stanleys express freight
train to Schenectady, over the Rensselaer,
and Saratoga Railroad, ran off the track
yesterday morning just beyond the West
Rutland station, in consequence OF a
misplaced switch, resulting in the en-.
gine and tender, with seven freight cars
being completely wrecked. The engine
and tender ran about two rods after
leaving the track, and the former now
lies facing the rails, on the west side,
well buried in mud and q complete
wreck, while the latter is turned around,
back towards the track, and also much
damaged, with the seven freight cars
badly broken and strewn promiscuously
on either side OF the road. The engineer
and fireman, with the other train hands,
jumped off the train on seeing that 1t
must 60 Off the rails, and all escaped un-
injured except the engineer, who re-
ceived some slight bruises about the
head and face. 1t seems almost miracu-
lous, even after conceding them ordi-
nary jumping qualities, how they all
could have escaped, yet they fortunately
did, and though the wreck OF the train
is most complete, and the damages to
the company can fall little short Of $685.
900, we are happy to note that no lives
were lost or limbs broken.
A woman was walking upon the track
as the train approached the switch, and
her presence absorbed the attention of
the engineer, Mr.. Charles MeKeogh, un-
til the train was within about ten rods
of the switch, when she left the track
and he at once discovered the perilous
position OF the train, and though he re.
versed his engine and applied sand to
the track, it was too late to avert the
accident, as the train, which was behind
time 25 minutes out OF here, was going
at high rate of sneed. and hence the
futility OF his efforts to avoid going of,
Who the blame attaches to on account
of the displacement OF the switch we
