strength and endurance, and the secondary
one an appearance Of which we shall not
feel ashamed. The iron will arrive in about

of the bridge will be exactly similar to that

THE HEAD CENTRE.--If any one thinks
Rock Island is poor place to stop at any
how" aud "has Il notion to pull up stakes"
let him look over the list of railroad bills
lately showed before our Legislature. The
fact is, they can't get up decent railroad
project nowadays unless Rock Island is
hitched on to make the thing look respects
bic. Before many years we will begin to
pluck the laurels from Chicago. Davenport
is stuck in the mud, can't pay its debts, and
will never grow any more, but Rock Island
is bound to be a railroad centre, and couldn't
help itself if it wanted to. If George Fran
els Train should try to drive line of rail
down the center OF the western continentha
would have to call his souse the Arctic, Rock
island & South Pole railroad, or it would be
tots failure.

RAILROAD ACCmENr.-From Mr.. Lyford,
of the ticket Office, we learn the following
particulars of the railroad accident which
occurred on the c. Il. |. Il 2. route this
morning (the l3th) An extra freight train
from Chicago was sent down the road after
the departure of the regular Rock Island
freight. AT Morris, about one hundred and
twenty five miles from Rock Island, the en-.
CINE on the leading train exhausted its wa.
ter and a halt was rendered unavoidable At
the station named. The rear train coming
up at considerable speed, a collision &C.
Cured. The caboose of the extra freight,
and three cars ladened with merchandise,
were thrown from the track No lives were
lost but three brakesmen, whose names we
could not learn, we're rather severely in
jured. In consequence of this mishap, the
night express train, bearing the eastern
mails, did not arrive here until ten minutes
past twelve.
