REMARKABLE RAILWAY AccIDENT.-The
train of the Ohio and Mississippi Railway,
which left Cincinnati last Friday afternoon,
met with remarkable escape. When crossing
the Louisville bridge over the Ohio River, the
engine was thrown from the track by broken
rail. Yet, although five feet of rail were out
of place, all the rest of the train leaped the
break and struck the rail on the other side in
safety. When the engine left the track the en-
gineer and firemen shut off steam and climbed
out on the boiler, in order, as they said, "to be
On top, whichever way she jumped" and left
the rest to fate.
Will she keep the bridge, or will she plunge
thirty feet to the dark water below, just covered
with thin coating of ice? A guard rail runs
along, connecting the ends of the sleepers, and
made of square timber. The edge of this just
catches the fange of the front truck wheel, and
they are saved The rail of wood acts for a
short distance as rail Of iron, and conducts
the engine over the chasm. Two inches more
to the left and nothing could have saved them.
Just beyond the bridge, the engine left the
sleepcrs, and, tearing away the track in all di-
rections,' plunged down the bank to the left, but
so slowly that the entire train, except the
express car, remained on the track. The driver
and fireman jumped off uninjured, and one man
scratched in the baggage car was the only casu-
atty.

A JUDICIAL ANECDoTE.-An incident in
the judicial career of the Hon Thomas B..
Monroe, who for over twenty years occupied
the position of Federal Judge in Kentucky,
will illustrate the high purity of his character,
and may serve to remind the judiciary of our
day how conscentiously the judges of the old
in the judges law school one day asked him if
in deciding cause he ever had felt any bias or
prejudice for or against the parties. The judge
promptly said: "Ncvcr but once I'll tell you
the story: There was q very important case,
which was argued with great ability before me
by the most distinguished lawyers at the bar of
Frankfort, and it took two weeks in the trial
Every morning. as the court opened, little
woman, dressed in black, modestly and unas-
sumiugly courtesed to the court, as if unscen
and took her seat near the door Just before
the court adjourned she retired, not without
making always q courtesy. 1t attracted my at
tention, and 1 inquired who she was. was
told she was party to the suit then Oh trial.
When the cause was submitted, and was pre-
pairing my opinion, l found it impossible to
dismiss from my mind that little woman and
her courtesy. l began to doubt whether [
could do Justice in the case. studied the
matter very closely, and finally decided in her
favor. 1t involved the title to all she possessed
in the world | never" said the judge, "was
entirely satisfied that my decision was correct
until it was finally unanimously affirmed by
the Supreme Court of the United States
feared my Judgment had been warped BY the
simplicity and delicacy of the little woman in
black"

BETRAYED AND DEsERTED-A case, illus
| trating in peculiarly sad way the folly of wo-
man and the perfisty of man, came to light in
this city on yesterday. The police learned that
young girl, a stranger, and one with but very
| little intellect, was at q house OF ill-flme in
this city in totally destitute condition. A
visit to the place by Lieutenant of Police
elected the f,llowing facts from the poor crea-
tire, wi Ii we pullsh, omitting names only /:
The girl, who is apparently not more than tif-
! teen years of age, says that up to q month ago
she lived with her parents in the village of
Cambridge, Tennessee In the same town re-
sided young man, native OF South Carolina,
but who was studying law under distinguish
ed practitioner i'll cambridge. The two met, the
young man loved or feigncd to love, and the
innocent girl gave him her whole heart in re-
turn. One day about month ago he induced
her to run away with him and the pair went to
Knoxville and put up at a hotel, where her
ruin was accomplished Her brother, however,
| tracked them to Knoxville and attempted to
kill the seducer, but failed, and the lovers made
their escape to Atlanta, where they remained
two or three weeks. About the middle of last
week the villain grew tired of his victim and
came from Atlanta to Augusta short time
before this taking from her gold watch and
chain, ring and handsome diamond pin.
As soon as they reached the depot in this city
he sent her to q hotel, promising to come him
self in short time afterwards, and this is the
last that has been heard of him. The girl
went to the hotel, and then discovering that
she was deserted and had not cent of money,
she took the advice that some one gave her and
went to a boarding house, the mistress of which
hearing her story, treated her in the kindest
manner and communicated her condition to
the police. The Chief of Police telegraphed
to her brother in Knoxville yesterday, stating
that be could find his sister in this city.-Au-

STOPPING THE TRAIN.-The express train
was whirling along over the Lehigh Valley
Railroad the other day-behnd time and run
ming at furious speed-when the eengineer caught
sight of an old lady slowly pattcring ahead up
on the track. Instantly the whistle was blown.
No heed, however, was taken of it. But think
ing the venerable dame would get out fdanger
in due time, the speed was not slackened, though
the screaming of the whistle made the noun
tain ring. The old lady, however, kept on
slowly, neither turned her head to the rightnor
left, until the engineer was almost upon her
then the brakes were put on with will, and a
stoppage effected just in time to save her life.
''What the deuce is the matter with you ?''
asked the engineer, as he jumped off and took
the ancient dame by the shoulder.
"Guess you needn't scream SO. You have
made fuss enough already" was the caustic re-
ply.
'eYo1 heard the wh.t!e, them"
'Sartinly I haint deaf"
"Then, why in the name of thunder didn't
you get off the track?"
"You hain't got no right to run over folks, as
I know on, and it's your business to stop when
you see them walking on the track !p'
The swearing of "our army in Flanders was
nothing compared to that of the engineer as
he pushed her aside, sprang upon the engine,
and set it whizzing again to the tune of forty
miles an hour.

ERs.-The Greenville Enterprise furnishes the
annexed particulars of this sad occurrence
The people of the city were thrown into a
profound commotion on Thursday last, about
9 o'clock, at the death of Austin 3. Nickcrs,
ESQ.,, Sheriff of this county.
Mr.. Vickers, preparatory to the execution to
take place next day, was putting his pistol, to-
gether with that of his Deputy, in order; and
whilst making some repairs upon one Of them,
it is supposed one of the chambers was dis
charged The ball entered just behind the
right ear, ranging across the head, lodging Just
under the skin above the left. When the acci-
dent occurred, he was sitting by the freside at
his residence, with no one in the room, the
nearest person being his mother, who was in
an adjoining apartment The latter, hearing
the report, rushed to him, and found him near
ly dead, as the resultwa slmost instantaneous
never speaking afterwards.
A jury of inquest was Immediately impan-
nelled, composed Of some of our most intclli-
gent citizens, Gen. w. K Easlcy foreman, who,
after hours of careful investigation and listen
ing to the evidence, and examination of the
circumstances, rendered verdict of accidental
death.
Mr.. Vickcrs was an upright and correct man,
and was very popular, native of the County,
and gave promise of future usefulness The
funeral took place on Saturday at the Metho-
dist Church, attended by the Palmetto Fire
Company, of which he was a member, besides
a large assembly of others. He was about 80
years of age, and leaves an aged mother to
mourn his death,
