The Good Templars of Fremont
have decided to give up their hall and
plaee'of meeting. They retain their
charter, however, and remain an or
ganized lodge. Neither the thinking
nor thoughtIess portion of our COM
munity, have any interest in the tenn
perance cause, in this place.......A
young man named Jones, is now an
inmate of the county Jail, for stealing
some calico curtains from the win
dows in Mammoth Hall, the last
night of the concert given by Prof.
Rowley. Itappears that he remained
in the hall, after it was closed, took
down the curtains, and then descend
ed a ladder which stood against the
side of the house. Wednesday
morning last a collision occurred on
the L. 5. & NJ. s. r. R., at Lindsey,
eight miles west of this city, between
the passenger train going East, due
at this place at 4:55 A. NJ, and 4
through freight going West. The
freight train was running on the
switch, when the passenger came
along and struck a dead engine which
was about the middle of the freight
train, and which was just leaving the
main track. The engine of the pas
senger train struck this in such a way
as to injure it but slightly though
the cab was completely demolished
looking as though stroke of the cleo
trio fluid had descended upon it. The
engine pushed by this and pIOughed
way into freight car, sending it from
the track and landing it upon its side.
The next freight car was splintered
into unnumbered pieces and sent fly
ing in opposite directions. The third
freight car shared a similar fate, be-
ing thrown from the track a total
wreck, while a fourth car had the one
end completely shattered. The force
of the collision threw the passenger
engine from the track, landing it up
on its side with its head toward the
West. The force was so great as to
turn it completely around, and to tear
the boiler from the trucks and send
it in nearly as as many different di-
rections as there are parts to a loco
motive. The express car, which fol-
lowed, was considerably damaged,
and required the re-shipment of its
very valuable freight, consisting of
about a ton ofsolid silver, and a num-
Der of boxes Of gold. No one was in
jured.
