REMARKABLE RAILROAD EsCAPES.-Ihere
was narrow escape from a horrible
accident at the crossing of the Cam
den and Atlantic and Camden and
Amboy roads, at Camden, one day last
week. As large excursion train on the
Atlantic road neared the crossing the flag
man signalled that all was right, and the
heavily -loaded train kept on. When it was
near the crossing q special train on the
Amboy road came in sight around the curve,
approaching at high speed. The fagman
instantly displayed the red flag, but neither
train could stop. Most fortunately one OF
the brakcmen on the excursion train had
the remarkable presence of mind to cut the
train and put the brakes down on the cars
cut off, which so slowed them that a gap in
the train was formed just at the crossing,
and the Amboy train dashed through and
no injury was done. But for this the loss
Of life and mangling of bodies that must
have occurred would have been fearful be-
yond description. There we're two thou
sand persons on the excursion train.
On Friday, as the noon express train on
the New Haven road, bound east, was near
ing Westbrook, the engineer discovered n
COW on the track. He instantly blew the
whistle for brakes, upon the sound of which
dozen cattle rushed upon the track from
the adjacent bushes. 1t being impossible
to stop the train, the engine dashed
among the animals, killing five outright,
cutting one into halves. Fortunately nc
one was injured, but the shock to the train
must have been terrific. A passenger says
that the locomotive leaped several feet into
the air.-Ne1o York. Post.

MOBILE, Ala, August ll.-David P.

the Radical meeting last Thursday night,
gave himself up for trial yesterday, and
was acquitted by the Mayor this morning.

4 REVOLUTION IN IRON.-We have been
shown various specimens Of iron and steel
made by new process discovered by DIR.
William Field, of wilmington, Delaware.
That they are all Of extraordinary excel
lence no one at oil familiar with iron can
doubt after seeing them, and from the steel
have been manufactured files, razors, ETC.,
of the finest quality. This iron is made
from very common pig by the addition OF
certain chemicals in the process OF pud-
ding, whereby all sulphur and phosphorus
is eliminated and banished at cost OF Sc
venty to eighty cents per ton OF iron. Dr.
Field says that he can thus make superior
iron of any pig, and at triting expense.
That shown us was exhibited side by side
with the famous Lowmoor (Brltlsh) IRON,
sold here at twenty-one cents per pound,
and is fully its equal; and it challenges
comparison with the best Norwegian or Swe-
dish iron. DIR. Field claims like supe-
riority for his pig iron, and that his cast
ings are five times as strong as those made
by the old process. He asserts that iron
subjected to his process does not stick to the
bottom Of the furnace, is more uniform in
quality, exceedingly tough and tenacious,
and can be run out of any existing furnace
with saving of some twenty-five pounds
per day now wasted in running out.-Aeto
