RAILROAD AccIDENT.-As the through express
tran which leaves Philadelphia at II O'Clock, P.
NJ, was coming along at full speed on Sunday
night about half mile this side of Bell Road the
engine struck an OK, throwing the carcass to one
side oil the road. The engine and tender and
baggage and mail cars passed without damage,
but the carcass which had been thrown on the
bank rolled back across the track in front of the
wheels OF the next car, and threw that car and
four other passenger cars off the track. One car
was thrown directly across the track, another was
thrown with one end high ON the bank and the
Others was thrown around promiscuously. The
Wheels and trucks were pretty badly smashed up,
but owing to the strong manner in which passen-
ger cars are now built not one of the car bodies
was broken by the crash, and no one was serious
ly hurt, only one man being hurt at all, and his
arm was slightly bruised
Under the circumstances, however, and consid-
erlng the manner in which the bodies of the cars
were thrown around, the escape of all the pas
sengers was almost miraculous.
The accident caused the detention of the train
and mail five hours the passengers not arriving
here until this morning The running of no
other through train was interiered with. the d.
bris having been speedily removed from the track,
passengers and all turning to and working with
will to clear away the wreck
The whole front Of the engine when il arrived
here this morning was literally covered with the
blood OF the animal that caused the accident.

ChEHEfsroNE-An effort is now being made
10 get a wharf nj the mouth of the Chcrrystone
flvcr, at which the boats plying between Norfolk
and Crisiield, in connection with the through
trains on the Delaware Railroad, might stop. 1t
is said the freight which would be shipped from
iliis point would well repay the Railroad Com
panv, and the Navigation Company for the ex.
pclise Of building the wharf. II seems as though
1t would be good policy for the Railroad Company
To take the matter in hand now, aud by building
wharf gain possession of sufficient land for
the purposes of building the wharf and depots
which must some day be located there. As soon

pany w@ill then be compelled to pay heavily fol
the ground they will need, while at present when
there is no immediate prospect of the road being
extended to that point, the anxiety of the people

nislit stop, in direct communication with North
efi markets, would probably lead them to do

ISuNDATED.-It is stated that the farm of II. L.
Churchman, near Stanton, was SO completely
oyerfowed by the late rains that he had to dis
pose Of nearly all of his CATTLE he sent to Phil
adelphia about 100 head. 1t is said he will lose
four or five thousand dollars in consequence of
this deluge. Other farms adjoining are also more
or less damaged. About 1876 tons of hay on the
property adjoining, belonging to Thomas Clyde,
we understand was ruined by the same storm.
The hay had been stacked, and the water was
four or five feet deep about it. 1t had been sold
but not delivered; we do not know who will sus-
tain the loss,-GaseEe.

and thirty witnesses, residing in the neighbour
hood, testified that the establishment was nuis-
auce Many testified that they had found the
stencil detrimental TO the health of themselves
and families.
The smell was particularly bad on boiling days
Thursdays and Ffidays--but that a constant
bad smell arose all summer from hill of ofial in
the yard. Several OF the witnesses said they
were frequently compelled even in the warmest
weather to tightly close all the doors and win
dows of their houses
After the witnesses had all been examined Mr..
Bayard asked for day to decide whether they
would offer rebutting testimony and to-day sub

each side of the draw, and for the draw itself In
about two weeks 1t will be ready for travel.
Nothing has yet boon done towards opening the
avenue from 4th street leading to it; but as the
Council has acted in the matter we presume the
work will be done in time. Third street below
the Railroad should now be paved and gutter
ed that all the approaches to the bridge will be
completed by the time 1t Is built.

people came in crowds by boat, cars and private

the day any disturbance or disorder which re-

The Radicals and the Maryland Militia.

y
Governor Swami and the Maryland mi
litia have caused the Radicals much un-
casinCss of late Horrible stories OF
what they are secretly plotting to do in
case things should happen thus and so,
and terrible threats of loyal vengeance il
they but dare to put their plots into exc
cution, are going the rounds Of the Rad
ical press, frightening old women and
little children almost out of their wits.
Perhaps some of these Radical editors
really believe, like the valiant Governor
of Pennsylvania, that Governor Swami
contemplates a grand coup d etas, for the
overthrow of the Government and the an
initiation of the armies of the Republic.
If they do, it only shows what arrant
towards and silly coots clustering Radi-
cal editors are. The Maryland militia
are, no doubt brave body of men, but
as they are mortal and cannot be expect
ell to do more than mOrtais usually do,
even though they should be led by so
distinguished parsonage as Governor
Swami, we conclude that the Government
is safe yet awhile Seriously, what is the
meaning of this hullabalo over the Mary
land militiaI Is it to prepare the public
mind for a collision which they have de-
termined to bring about. and for which
they are even..now preparing their plans 2
We would not be surprised if such was
the case. Their disposition to resort to
any scheme, no matter how violent, who
can doubt? The Maryland militia will
interfere with no men or set of men en-
gagged in lawful undertaking. AS long
rs the Rumpers and their friends shall
keep within the pale of the law, and at
tend to their legitimate duties and not
try to usurp the powers of a coordinate
branch of the Government or attempt to
trample upon the Constitutional rights OF
a sovereign State, they will not be mo,
Tested by the militia of Maryland or by
the military power of any other State.
If, however, they are foolish enough to
think they can accomplish all this and
actually make move towards its con-
summation, it will not be the Maryland
militia alone that they will have to en-
counter. A million of men as brave as
ever wore sword or handled q musket.
will spring to the contest. They are not
anxious to hear the tap of the drum that
shall call them to the defence of their
Liberties, but when they do hear it they
will respond in such numbers that the
misunderstanding scoundrels and would-be
tyrants will be trodden out of existence
