THE FREsHEr.
Almost a Railroad AocIde,

The copious and continued rain for the past
few days has raised the streams. everywhere
and has damaged property TO a considerable
extent. We are told by old settlers that the
Cottonwood il higher now than It has been at
any time within the last sixteen years. The
Neosho is also running very high. The abut-
ments Ofthe railroad bridge over Plumb creek,
ON the A.. 7. & s. +. Road, were washed away
leaving the track and ties hanging alone. This
was discovered by the engineer Of the down
train about dark last Saturday evening, just
before the stream was reached. He immedi-
ately reversed his engine and stopped the train.
The two coaches were well filled with passen-
gers, and but for the close watchfulness OF the
engineer and fireman there would have been
fearful wreck. The passengers were eompeIl-
ed to remain there until Sunday morning,
when train was sent out from town to bring
them in. Much Of the track between here and
the Neosho was rendered unsafe by the dirt
washing away from the ties. Col. Steele was
on the train but had the courage to walk the
track over the creek and into town. about six
miles.
Through the energy Of Assistant Superin-
tendent Pagan. the bridge was repaired and
ready for the crossing Of trains to-day mt noon.
The up train had only passed over the bridge
twenty minutes before 1t washed down. This
train had one passenger car, and SIX or eight
car loads OF cattle and other freight. The es-
cape from a smash up seems almost miraculous.
The n. X. & T. road was also seriously dam
aged In various places. Trains commence
making regular trips to-day.
We have never seen harderrain storm than
that OF Saturday afternoon and night.-Ddily
Netcs, Tuesday.

The new school house at Americas was
dedicated last night by festival. The good
people OF that pleasant village anticipate a
happy time on this occasion. The house is a
large, twO-story building, nearly completed,
is very handsome externally, and is seen from
long distance, its mammoth proportions
standing out in bold relief among the cluster
Of neat, white dwellings observed by travellers
long before they reach the town. AS we did
not have time during hasty visit TO examine
the house, we will leave our Americus con-
tributor to furnish detailed description Of IL
when 1t is completed. 1t will certainly be one
Of the best school buildings in the State ont
side Of the cities. 1tiscreditable to the build
ers, would be an ornament to any town, and
speaks volumes in favor Of the people Of Amer
icus and vicinity.

LUCK AND LABoR.-On the way from Hart
ford to Neosho Rapids, on the north side of
the river. the other day, mile and n quarter
below the latter town, We observed singular
looking excavation, cellar, in the side Of the
hill, three-quarters Of mile from the Neosho
and stopped TO examine it. Near by in field Mt
work we found the owner OF the place. Peter
Efford, who came from Canada and settled here
about i've years ago, and in that time has per-
formed prodigies OF labor and been exceeding
ly fortunate in the prosecution Of his work.
The farm, when he took possession, was entire
iy new, and with but little assistance, he has
broken GO acres, raised excellent crops, built
house, planted 100 peach trees 1.-TWO hundred
Of which are large bearing trees, and $50 apple
trees. and will have 80 acres fenced in a short
time. About year ago, in the side of the hill
but few steps from his door. he discovered a
vein Of coal, and an examination with pick
and shovel revealed the second vein, four or
i've feet deeper. This coal is covered by SOL
i'd rock, under which Mr.. Elford has excavated
mine $50 feet deep and large enough to admit
two or three horses abreast. In fact his hors-
es enter the mine every day TO drink from a
pool Of clear cool water. He has taken out
about 900 bushels Of coal, and he thinks the
two veins will merge into one at not n much
greater distance than he has penetrated, and
that the coal, which is of q fair quality, will
gradually get better as he goes deeper.
The cellar above referred to, when finished
will be 17x24 feet. From this, some fifty or
more feet distant from the mouth of the coal
mine, he has taken some excellent building
stone-square blocks that look rs though they
had been sawed out and imbedded in clay
many years ago-in quantity sufficient to wall
the cellar. In addition to this he has taken
from this excavation large amount ofcoal with
which he burned 800 bushels of lime, sold 60
bushels and has some left.
With an expenditure of but little money, Mr..
Elford has made here most excellent farm,
and, it may be, has found thereon mine of I'M
told wealth that will be Of advantage not None
to himself but to the locality in which he lives.
At any rate, the industry with which he has
wrought is certainly worthy of success, and
we hope that his efforts, which seem to be at
tended with good luck, may be richly reward
ed with the legitimate fruits of honest labor.

AROUND TowN.-Dr. Jacobs drove up TO
our office yesterday in his new buggy, and In
vited Us to take ride behind his fine young
horse Jerry" We certainly did accept his
invitation, and as we drove rapidly through the
streets we couldn't help thinking of what n
thorough gentleman, and how considerate the
Doctor was. His buggy was built by Mr.. Mo-
ser, the proprietor Of the carriage shops on
Fifth avenue, after an original design, and is a
perfect model Of beauty and elegance. We
especially noticed the iron work, which,
though light, Is very strong. In fact the whole
establishment was executed in the very best
of style, and our citizens need not go away
from home to procure anything in this line.
Mr.. Moscr deserves high concentrations for
HIS enterprise and industry. Our ride extend
ed out Sixth avenue, east. The pleasant
weather, good roads and rapidly with which
we were whirled along, had the effect to raise
our spirits to the highest pitch. We saw =
great many new buildings in the eastern part
OF the city; some very fine residences, among
them Judge Peyton's and Mr.. Groves were
conspicuous. From there we drove round
through the northern part Of the city. Every
where we saw buildings going up. We who
are In town all the time can hardly realize the
change that has taken place in the appearance
ofEmporia within the last two or three months.
We advise all to do as DR.. Jabobs did-take q
buggy ride.
