SMASH uP.-Yesterday afternoon about 3
o'clock coutryman who was driving his sleigh
across the railroad track at the head of Union
wharf got the runner caught in the rails and
before he could extricate it the locomotive on
the G. T. road came along and struck the
sleigh, throwing the man out and knocking the
sleigh all to pieces. The man luckily escaped
injury. The train was going very slowly at the
time, SO slow in fact, that the fireman jumped
from the engine and seized the horse by the
head to drag him of, but he was balky, and
the sleigh was sufficiently on the track to be
hit by the engine. The sleigh, we are told was
worth about forty dollars The countryman
was very deaf, and our informant could mt
learn his name.

At that time Mr.. Richardson owned large

The next day check for the amount men

BOILER ExPLosIoN.-An accident occurred
1t the residence of J. w. SWEET, Esq, No. 161
congress street. on Tuesday evening which
was quite serious in its consequences although
no person was injured. The steam heating
boiler blew up, probably owing to some flaw in
the iron, and raised the parlor floor, smashing
the marble mantle, and the marble top of a
radiator. Pieces of the boiler were thrown a
great distance and also brick. One of the eel.
lar windows were blown out and it is thought
that this air-hoe saved the house. Mrs. SWEET
with some friends had just stepped out of the
parlor as the floor was torn up 1t wa.:a mirae.

The funeral of Orlando NJ Marrett took place
from his late residence, No. 80 Deering street,
yesterday afternoon at IL CLOCK. Notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather, the
house was filed downstairs to OVERLOOKING
with the friends of the deceased. 1t is rarely
in community that such a demonstration of
respect is shown to SO young man by men of
all ages and OF all professions and trades. The
remains were inclosed in magnificent casket,
which was literally covered with the choicest
MOWERS, the gifts of loving friends, among them
an elegant cross from the Mercantile Library
Association. ....-
Tue services were conducted by the Rev.
william H. Fem of the High St. Church, and
consisted OF appropriate selections of Scrip
ture' snort address, and prayer. The address
was most beautiful tribute to the character
OF Mr.. Marrett from his friend and neighbor
At the closing of Mr. Fenn's prayer, a quar-
tette composed of Mesdames Waterhouse and
Farley and Messrs. Hudson and Beckett sang
most touchingly "Thy will be DONE" The
casket was then brought from the house to the
hearse by the pail bearers, between two lines
formed by the members of the old Portland
Light Infantry, of which association the de-
ceased was formerly an officer, while the
new company, P. L. l., were drawn up with
open ranks and presented arms. The Port
land Band played dirge as the remains
made their appearance. A long funeral cortege
accompanied them to the final place of inter
ment in Evergreen Cemetery, while the mill
tary escorted the procession as far as the
bridge
The immediate pail bearers were President
b. F. Kurdish, ex-President Charles 81. Has
kell, Vice President M. N. Rich, Secretary
w. E. Wood, and Geo. A. Jones, all of the
Mercantile Library Association; and the other
pail bearers were Mayor Putnam, the President
OF the Board Of Trade, and the different ex-
Presidents and Lecture Committee of the M,
1. A. The guard of henor was composed of
Messrs. J. H. Stickney, Alex Bell, Henry
Green, W. P. Jordan, John NJ. Beal, Nathan
Gould, Cords L. Lnngley and .Tnhn n. Viii,
liams. The Infantry were under the command
Of Capt. G. P. Mattocks and numbered 40 men,

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS of the CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD of IOWA, WHICH
PAY ABOUT ONE-THIRD MORE IN
TEREST. THE TIME TO MAKE SUCH
REIMBURSEMENT is aohile the Treasury is
buying, and Governments are at Premium
THE ROAD DOES NOT RUN THROUGH
A WILDERNESS, where it would have to
wait years for population and business, but
through the most thickly settled and product
i've agricultural counties in the State, which
gives each section lar. e traffic as soon as com
pleted.
1t runs through the great coal fields of
Southern Iowa to the North where coal is in
dispensable and must be carried
1t runs from the great lumber regions of the
North, through district of country which is
destitute of this prime necessity.
The mortgage is made to the Farmers Loan
and Trust Co., of N. Y, and bonds can be is
sued only at the rate of $4,000 per mile, or on
ly half the amount upon some other roads.
Special security is provided for the principal
and for the payment of interest.
The New York Tribune says "this is a splen-
did enterprise, and deserves the most liberal
aid"
The New York Independent says, "We know
the Central railroad or Iowa is one of the
great and good works of the age. Its Direc-
tors include many of our leading bank presi-
dents and other gentlemen of high character,
who have means enough to build two or three
such roads out of their own pockets, so that all
its affairs will be ably as well as honestly man
aged. The Central of Iowa will be to that
State what the New York Central is to this,
except that it runs through a far richer coun-
try. We therefore recommend the Central
Iowa Bonds, with entire confidence in their
value. TIE truth is. that First Mortgage Of
$4,000 per mile upon road running through
such country cannot be otherwise than safe"
First Mortgage Bonds for so small an amount
upon a road running through such rich and
already well-settled part eff Iowa, can well be
recommended as perfectly safe as we'll as very
profitable investment. Pamphlets, with map,
