THg BURLEsQuE 0PERA TRorPr.-The
largest audience that ever assembled in Glib
bong Opera House, was unquestionably the
one which Yves ia attendance last evening TO
witness the highly novel and original enter
tanment given by the above named troupe
Every seat in the house was occupied. and
here was not standing room sufficient for a
person to crowd iii siiewise. Numerous
conjectares were made "a to the number
present, some ssy eight hundred, others more.
there was certainly no smaller number than
that. With regard to the entertainment, we
might exhaust all the adjectives we can think
of and still fail to express our good opinion
oft. We have not time to PARTICIPATES. and
IL we had, ~. would not deem it necessary,
for the performances were all capital. The
managers deserve credit for the complete or
der in which the entertainment. was conducts
ed, and the performers for carrying out the
programme with such complete success
Quite "a number Of the performers were en-
cofed, and in every instance responded med
estiy to the call In passing out, We heard
several persons express themselves highly
pleased as no doubt all were. One fact was
thoroughly established, and that is this, the
Buriesque Opera Troupe can entertain a
Keokuk audience, just as well as can iiany-
body'sH troupe. The large louise ii aitsact-
ed, and the rounds of applause il received a,
the close of each performance, go to show

POLICE CoURT-There was nothing
to do in the police court, yesterday
morning. No one of all the hundreds
of drunken men Keeling on the streets,
none of those who INDUCED in knock
downs on the day OF the twenty thous-
and" mass meeting, had been arrested,
and we arc consequently without our
usual report of charges preferred and
fines imposed. We did suppose that
the party who attempted to steal thor
ny hand" Cary's gold headed cane
while that "toiler" was speaking, would
be brought up, but he escaped the pun
ishment due his dastardly act.
And then wo were verdant enough
to think that some of those
in the procession (Which twas
three hours In passing n given point,")
who used foul and abusive language
towards quiet and inohensive ladies
watching its progress. would have been
made TO feel tho terrorR of the law, but
in that also we were disappointed. All
escaped our Argus.e eyed police officers,
and grief, poignant and deep, rends
the reporters soul at the deprivation
thus inflicted upon this people. Seri-
ously, we think bad precedent was
established in permitting such viola
lions of the city ordinance to pass I'M
noticed. The example set on Thurs
day might be plead in extenuation of
similar offences in the future, and
with strict propriety. We trust theme
cesslty may never arise.

RAILROAD AoGIDERT.-The train on
the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad
due here at @ o'clock on Thursday
evening, met with an accident near In
dustry, Pa, which involved the des-
truction of several cars, and the deten-
ton of the next train for three or four
hours. While travelling at a pretty
fair speed at the point named, the loco
motive struck COW, causing it to jump
from the track and down an embank-
ment fifteen or twenty feet high, and
dragging with it nearly all the cars
we'll filled with passengers. The de-
struc.ion of some of the coaches was
complete, and an eye witness informs
Ms that the rails and cross ties for many
rods were torn from their position and
thrown in every direction. Those who
saw the wreck unite in saying that
they could not conceive how any one
on board could escape death or MAIN
ing, SO thorough was it. AS it happen
ed, however, no one was killed or Sc
riously hurt. A few persons were slight
ly cut and bruised,-not bone was

to the engineer or those in charge OF
the train, as they did all In their power
to prevent the occurrence when the
danger was discovered. The time WAS
too short after the COW was seen to
bring the train to halt, and the colli-
sion was inevitable.
The track at the place the accident
occurred runs near the river. Fortu-
nateIy the steamer Bayard was just
rounding in at that point when it hap
pened, and officers, crew and passen-
gers on board the boat at once ran 10
render what aid they could. Quite a
number of those on the wrecked train
accepted Captain G. w. Moore's gem
erous offer to convey them to their
destination at points down the river,
and they were kindly cared for by that
noble souled gentleman during the re-
mainder of their journey. Too much
praise cannot be given Captain Moore
for his conduct on that occasion.
