ACCIDENT ON THE PACIFIC RAIL.
ROAD.
Tx % UttNC OOWtH
Emporia, March 9th, 1868.

From the Missouri Democrat of the
10th, we learn the following particulars
of late frightful accident on the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad:
a frightful accident occurred on the
Pacific Railroad, three miles above JEFF
fcrson City, about liz o'clock, Friday
night, by which portion of the train
was precipitated down an embankment
into the river, and the engineer and fire.
man lost their lives. We are indebted
to Mr.. Frank A. Palmer, a brakeman ON
the train for particulars.
It appears that the Western express
train, James Leigh, conductor due at
Jefferson City at 10 :46, was fifteen min
utes behind time, and leaving Jefferson
City had run about three miles when
the whistle sounded "down brakes, .
and the conductor and brakeman, Pal
mer and Fuller, instantly at
tempted to check the train. The entire
five brakes were put ON, when the whis-
tie again sounded, but nothing more
could be done, the brakes all being set.
Palmer looked ahead and at the third
whistle, leaped off, thus saving his life,
as in an instant after, the platform on
which he stood was crushed to atoms.
He saw the engine and tender going
over the bank of the river, theaexpress
car following. The coupling connect
ing the remaining cars, fortunately.
broke; the baggage car plunged into
the bluff on the opposite side Of the
road the smoking car was driven up
on it. and the other passenger cars were
brought to stand upon the track. The
engineer. Mr.. George Brown, was whirl-
ed down the bank with the engine, and
also the fireman, Michael CoIlopy.
Brown was buried IN the river under
the engine, one leg ana arm protruding,
and of course was instantly killed. Col
llopy was shockingly mangled, and ex-
pired soon after, without surgical ope-
ration, as was incorrectly reported.
The express car Landed on the edge OF
the river, about twenty live feet down
the bank. By most miraculous good
fortune. no other persons were serious
~ injured, but their escape by the break
ing of coupling alone is proyidentiai'
The cause of the accident was doubtless
the washing down of q bowlder rom
the bluff, Ioosened by the rain, and the

BARNUMs MUSEUM BURNED AGAIN
Barnum's Museum in New York was
burned again on Tuesday morning,
March Sd. The destruction was even
more complete than before. The 1ri6-
une says:
So rapidly did the flames spread that
it was found impossible to save any OF
the larger animals of the fine collection
known as Van Amburgh's Menagerie
The yells of the animals as the flames
reached them were appalling; and they
bounded from side to side, or darted
madly against the bars in their vain eff:
forts to free themselves.
The loss on the Museum and contents
including Van Amburgh's NTenagerie
win amount to about 100000.

whistles of the engineer indicate thatIe
saw 1t as he came around the curve. but
the wet rails caused the wheels to slide.
so that the brakes were ineffective, and
the engine probably struck the rock at
about an eighteen mile speed. Mr..
Brown had an insurance of 5000 lust
obtained in an accident insurance COM
pany for one month, which will be OF
great benefit to, his vie and children.
Our informant states that similar cas-.
ualty was barely escaped at the same
place, and to the same engineer, abou
two months since.

1t is reported that the President will
relieve General Hancock from the COM
mand at New Orleans and put him in
command at Washington. The Presi-
dent has tried to make tools of several
of our leading Generals and utterly
failed. That this dirty pup, who recent
ly rode through the streets of New Or
leans in company with JEFF. Davis, and
received the shouts of the rebels, will
do the Presidents dirty, rebellious jobs,
Andy nor no one else doubts, from his
record of the past few months.

In the war on the State Institutions
during the last session of our State de-
batting society, the salary for Associate
Principal of the Normal School was curt
down to 5000. Why didn't the legisla-
ture abolish the salary altogether if they
desired to cut down the expenses of the
teachers? No respectable teachers can
be hired for six hundred dollars. 1t is
said that the fixing of this amount as the
salary of the Associate Principal occur
red through an error of some of the
clerks of the House of Representatives.
We hear considerable blame attached
also, to our Representatives for permit
ting the bin to be passed with such O
blundcr in it. We presume, of course
they can give a satisfactory explanation
to all who care to know HOW it was done

ISLAND WOODEN MILLS.
BARABOo, Wisconsin.
1t is very generally conceded that the Island
Wooden Mills is the best Wooden Factory in Wiscoh-
sin; and that our cloths are superior in durability,
and fully equal in finish, to the best goods in the
country. 30 much has been won by adherence to
the following rules:
GOODS. 10 MANUFACTURE n0'n'"s 0"' pure ALL "'oh
%. To have FAIR DEALING characterize all our
transactions.
%. To have N RULE of exchange to apply to
ALL Gust omers.
We propose to adhere to these rules so long rs we
DO business, and we are confident that We shall be
able to give better satisfaction than ever before. We
have additional new machinery. We have procured
the services OF the bestvCarder, Weaver, Dyer and
Finisher that could be found in the East.
We suppose there are very few farmers who do not
know that ii is greatly for their Advantage either to
have their wool manufactured or to exchange 1t for
WOODEN goods. They save from Ii to Is per cent. be-
cause the wool will always purchase more cloth than
the money which the wool will sell for. They save
the profits made by the commission merchant and
the retailer; parties will see that the amount Of wool
required by us for a yard of cloth made to wear one
year or more and which would cost from the Eastern
market from l5O to 1.75 would bring in cash only
from Los to LES.
