THE BURNED CHILD.-At the fire yester-
day, corner of Friend and Third street,
there was considerable excitement raised
over report that baby was being burn
ed to death on the blazing bed. An excited
fireman, armed with a hook, rushed up to
the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department,
shouting, Colonel, there's child burning
in that bed" "How do you know?" asked
the Colonel. 81 can see it; and woman
told me So" Down they went, the chief
and the fireman, to the fire. The smoke from
the burning straw was sitting, and so
dense was it seeing was an impossibility.
After feeling around in the binding, chok-
ing smoke for awhile, the fireman caught
the bed with his hook and pulled it from the
bedstead. But there was no baby. Crop
ing around for a second, the Colonel
shouted. Have you got it Colonel?"
:" All right. Here, take it," was the ans
wer, he trying to keep down his laughter.
: Poor little thing. 1t wants air.
My God, it's nearly dead!> shouted the
brave and tender-hearted fire. boy. Away
he went with it out of the door, holding it
as tenderly as a mother could have done.
Reaching air and light his ejaculation was
suggestive but prOfane: "D-d the thing"
he yelled, sits nothing but pillow I''
You should have heard the ColonePs
laugh. 1t would have cured a sick man.
And this is the way the story got
round town that baby was burned.
ACCIDENT ON THE LTrTLE MIAMI-We
find the following in the Cincinnati ENQUIRER
of yesterday:
At about O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
as the Eastern train due here at AZ P. NJ,
was within mile of Pendleton, being be-
hind time, the locomotive struck a COW,
which suddenly appeared upon the track,
and which, by the cOncussion, was forced
against post. The engine passed free,
but baggage car, as also one belonging TO
the American Express Company, and tour
passenger coaches, were crowded off the
track, and a. serious smash-up was the re-
suit. The cars were re.overturned, and some
twenty persons, among whom the conduc-
tor, Mr.. John Doherty, is included, were
more or less injured. There were three
other rear passenger cars in the train, but
Luey renamed upon Cne track.
No blame is attached to any of the en-
ployes, as tine cause of the accident appeared
100 suddenly upon the track to enable the
engineer to back or prevent the collision.
We are happy to state that no one is sup
posed to be fatally injured-something
providential, considering the serious char
a"trr of the wreck. We have the names of
some half-dozen persons, but by request
iOrbear mentioning them. All were in
the city by eight o'clock last night,
where their injuries were properly attend
ed to.
