SINGULAR RAILROAD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
EscAPE.-The evening passenger train from
this city west met, in the deep cut east of
the Middlefeld station, hand-car, on
which were two Irishmen bound for Ches-
ter, one of whom was lying asleep with
his head foremost. Just before the engine
struck the hand-car, the most sober Of the
Irishmen jumped and ran from the scene
of danger, and has not been heard from.
The car and the other man were sent flying
over the smokestack of the engine toward
the rear of the passenger train, and the
man cast headlong over tie tops of trees
down an embankment, fall u in all forty
feet. The train was Stow and search
made, when he was found wing on bed of
small pieces of rock dead drunk and badly
bruised. Employees on the owl train east
ascertained that he would probably recover
from his hurt. Probably the force of his
fall was broken by the branches of the
trees. No one but the occupants of the
hand-car can be blamed for the accident,
as the curves in the road and the oversha-
downing high rocks prevented the engineer
of the train from seeing the car till his en-
CINE was nearly upon it.-SprinNield
(Mass.) Republican, July 6.

LONDON, July s.-The Daily Ne,os has
an editorial this morning on the dispatch re-
lative to Fenians recently sent by Secretary
Seward to Mr.. Moran, secretary of the Anne
rican legation here. The Ne,os says" This
dispatch is discourteous and unfriendly to
the English nation. We have no hesitation
in denying that it expresses the views of
enlightened Americans, who we know will
repudiate the Irritating notes Of Secretary
Seward. The people Of the United States
will be glad to know that both the English
people and the English Government will
treat such dispatches as disguised tricks,
calculated to affect the coming election"

complete.
Paris journals again complain Of the

POLITICAL TROUBLES IN SPAIN.
LONDON, July 8.-Dispatches from Ma
drid, received here and at Paris last night,
indicate renewal of serious political trou-
bles in Spain. Generals Dulce and Serrano
and five other Generals had been placed un-
der arrest, and warrants had been sent out
for the arrest of three other general officers
of high rank. 1t was supposed o danger
GUS and widespread conspiracy had been
discovered, and these arrests were the re-
suit. To-day additional advices represented
that a movement had been pre-concerted
among some leading officers of the army
which had for its object the placing of Don
Antonio, the Duke de Montpensier, at the
head of the Government. The Duke, who
is brother-in-law to the Queen, has been re-
quested to leave the country. Additional
arrests continue to be made in all parts of
Spain of parties implicated in the intrigue,
which, it is believed, has been efectually
bafled by the prompt action of the Queens
Government.
