As an express train on the Michigan Cen
trail Railroad was nearing Albion, Tuesday
afternoon, the passengers waiting for the
train were startled by the frequent whistling
of the engine. 1t WAS found that Il man was
driving at furious pace, to get his horses
and wagon across the track before the en-
gine reached the crossing. The engineer
did his best to stop the train, but it was too
late. and the cowcatcher struck just between
the wagon and the horses, separating them
Hstonter, and consiening each place on
opposite sides of the track, little or none
the worse of the collision. The man and
his wife leach about sixty -five) were caught
upon the platform above the cow-catcher.
and just in front of the engine. Instead of
losing presence of mind aud jumping off,
they settled themselves composedly, as
though nothing had happened. The old
lady put her hands in her muff, while the old
man, with one hand extended, as if grasp
ing the reins, and the whip raised in the
other, assumed a jockey attitude, and thus
the old couple rode up to the station tri-
umphant, amid the cheers of the by-stand-
ers. AS soon rs the train stopped, number
rushed to their assistance; but they declined
all aid, manifesting no concern for them
selves, but considerable for the fate of the
horses and wagon. The horses were unin-
jured, and the damages to the wagon were
trif1ing.

ANOTHER FISH SroRY-We learn from
the Memphis Ledger that cat fish was
caught on Saturday, from the Mississippi
remarkable thing was that this same fish
contained, in his stomach, q cannon ball
weighing six pounds, that evidently showed
ithad been there for q long while Tho ball
was nicely enclosed in q thin sack or mem
brane, thrown round it by nature, which,
no doubt, prevented the iron from iniuring
the fish. Various speculations are rife
about the matter. But most people believe
1T to be gun-boat fish, ono that followed
in the wake of the vessels OF war during the
late difficulty, and picked up everything
that was thrown or shot from the boats.
1t is indeed remarkable.

grsmnc Of the Counci, has not yct been made
public. OF its Intended doings nothing has
yet been officially divulged In such circum-
stances the conference proposed by Prince
Hohenohe would be premature, and might do
more harm than good. The governments, he
thinks, arc in = position in which they can
await the action Of the Council. II the Council
encroaches on the rights Of States or on the
prerogatives of the Executive, il will be time
enough to sound the note sof alarm and take
common ootion in selfdefence. Meanwhile
the Chancellor is disposed to think that good
will come Of the Council, az the different bish-
ops representing the different States will carry
with them to Rome "a knowledge Of the pyac-
teal necessities of our age" It may now, we
think, be taken for granted that Austria will
not send to the Council any secular representa-
tive. This is now the great question. II Is
difficult TO resist the conviction that Won Beust
has robbed Napoleon Of fine chance of
making display. But for the former the
secular conference proposed by Bavaria would
certainly have been held. In that Council
Napoleon would have been supreme. Won
Bsust is ono of the great leaders Of the age.

The battle of injunotions going on at Albany
about the Susquehanns Railroad assumes
very Interesting aspect Our correspondence
yesterday and to-day gives pretty clear state
ment Of the origin of the war which the irre-
pressible Fisk, Jr., is leading on the side Of
Erie against the president and treasurer of the
Susquehanna road 1t appears that the affair
has very dark foundation, as coal seems to
DO at the bottom of 1t ALL The Albany and
Susquehanna Railroad has hitherto been run
very satisfactorily in the view of its original
design, which, among other things, was to
reduce the price Of coal by tho facilities of
transportation from certain mines in Pcnnsyl-
vania. 1t is alleged, however, that this system
FLASHED somewhat with the interests Of the
Erie road in the matter OF certain contracts
which Fisk had made with other Pennsylvania
mines. There are, Of course, many other
stories abroad to account for this sudden inter
ference with the management of the new road,
and there were not wanting plenty Of judges
to issue injunctOns on all sides. AS the
matter stands now It would DO hard to say
who Is in possession; but, as Fisk said as soon
as no got out of the hands Of the police, he
has been sin twenty such scrapes before and
il is quite probable that he may come out Of
this one with the standard Of Erie flying.
Absorption Of all the railroad interests, as
well as steamboats, and operas, is the ruling
passion with Fisk, Jr. The Susquehanna
road connects with the Erie at Binghamton,
and Fisk probably thinks that If il is not
branch Of the Erie it ought to be; 80 he en-
deavors to get possession Of it by indirectly,
through some of the bondholders, instituting
charges Of malfeasapce against President
Ramsey and Treasurer Phelps, and to obtain
transfer of the receivership to himself. At the
close Of the fight on Saturday IL was drawn
battle There was, in fact, no legally recog-
nized receiver at that time, and things were
slightly chaotic, but Judge Peckham promises
to decide that question this morning Then we
shall no doubt have another meteorc shower
Of njunotlons. If Fisk persists in surrounding
the premises with his posse comitatus, as he
did on Friday, We may have some broken
heads rs well as broken injunctions before the
war Is over.

Baron Besst ON the Ecumenicai Council.
10 the HERALD Of yesterday we printed the
reply Of Won Beust, the Chancellor and
Foreign Minister Of the Austro-H Hungarian
government, TO the circular of Prince Hohen-
lohe, regarding the forthcoming General Coun-
Gil. 1t will be remembered that some weeks
since the Bavarian Prime Minister issued
circulars to all the so-called Catholic govern
ments, forecasting the probable doiugs Of the
Council. and urging upon those govern
ments the propriety Of holding conference
for the purpose Of considering what measures
of defence should be adopted In the premises.
We had already learned by a cable despatch
what was the nature OF Won Beusts reply. The
full text. however, is now before us; and we
have no choice but to say that IL comes up to
our highest expectation and confirms all the
good Impressions formerly received of the su-
perior character and high statesmanly quail
ties of the Austrian Chancellor. The Austro-
Hungarian government, he says, "has adopted
the freedom of all religions within the literally
constituted civil society as its leading prInci-
pie" To take any steps to prevent the meet
ing of the Council or in any way
TO interfere with the freedom OF III

before mentioned principle. Besides, tho pro-

valuable to England in this respect than they
would have been al colonies. But, however
wise or unwise Spain may be with regard to
Cuba and to the efforts of the United States to
stop bloodshed and the ruin of the island, our
government has but one course to follow, and
that is to act in accordance with the almost
unanimous sentiment of the country Cuba
must be free, and, if necessary, through the
action Of this republic. Spain would not be

yield to necessity If the government should fol-
low up boldly its present course On this
question the administration can make itself
popular, "a all parties are for Cuba The
press of Europe even acknowledge that the
independence or acquisition Of the island
through the interposition Of the United States
is the only solution Of the difficulty. Will the
Cabinet council on Tuesday decide TO go for

the question. We think 1t will see that its
duty and interest lie in acting in conformity
with public sentiment.
