A Train of Cars Falls Forty Feet.

On the 9th inst the Burlington (Iowal
express train, on the Indianapolis and
Cincinnati junction Railway, ran foul OF
a COW near Liberty Ind, and was thrown
from the track and down an embankment
forty feet high. There were two passen-
ger ears to the train, one n Pullman car,
and both Were filled with passengers
Some of them We're reading papers, others
conversing, when simultaneously with the
shock came the cry of ''IIere we 90 -
and the train plunged wildly through The
empty air Some sprang to the left hand
side of the cars, the fall being on the
right, and were thus, in a measure. spared
the terrible shock that followed when the
cars touched the ground. A large por-
ton OF the party received injuries of
greater less severity in the descent, and
few retained their consciousness. Mes
sengers from the neighboring town of
Liberty were not long in reaching the
spot, and rendered every possible assist
ance to the sufferers The scene was n
complicated one. The engine, broken all
to pieces, was strewu around; the bag
gage-car was badly ,iammed up the sleep
coach, valued at about 500, 900, was an
utter rum, and the passenger-coa was
also considerably damaged The victims,
in every conceivable position almost. were
lying in and about the wreck, and it was
some time before all could be rescued,
some having to be cut from the ruins.
The engineer and fireman stuck to their
engine until it struck the level when
they managed to jump from it in safety
A number OF the passengers received in
juries, but only one appears to have been
fatally hut, an aged lady named Scudder,
bound for Hamilton, Ohio. But few cs-
capped without injuries of some sort.

The Political Situation.


WAsHlNGToN, Nov r.
Prominent Democrats now here and re-
Gently in this city, represent that very
general interchange of opinions is going
on by letters and personal conferences
among Democrats relative 70 the future
action OF the party in the coming Presi-
dental canvass. Some advise couveu
ton of the Democratic party and regular
nominations of candidates for President
and Eice-President, irrespective of action
of conservatives of the Republican party
others suggest a nomination by the Con-
sentative Republicans, or those opposed
to the present Administration, and alter
wards, il practicable Il coalition of the
Democrats with that conservative element
generally. 1t is also advised that the
final settlement of this question he post
poned until the meeting Of Congress
when caucus of the Democratic Senators
and Representatives with the lights Of
the party outside, consider the matter and
recommend proper action Ills regarded
as certain success Tor the Democrats it
they shall nominate 4 candidate of great
power in Pennsylvania, but the fear that
iniudiclous counsel may prevail and pre-
vent such selection induces some lnilurn-
tial members otherwise disposed to advise
a coalition. From an analysis OF the
votes in the State elections Of last week
1t is found that generally, where fair
test was had, the Democratic ~ Conset-
vative vote has gained. and thi- laat
should assure the Democrats that by the
wise selection Of standard-bc bearer I'd
man whose record is unimpeachahle, and
whose past history is typical of the all
vanced ideas of the present day the Dem
ocratic party can carry the next Prcsiden-
tial election beyond reasonable ioubi.

The extension of the Maine Central
railroad from Danville Junction to Port
land is now complete, and trains run over
it regularly. The line from Waterville to
the junction was narrowed on Monday
and Tuesday. The labor OF doing this
was immense, calling for the drawing
and driving anew of 5SS, 900 spikes, for
one item. Two hundred and twenty men
did the job from Waterville to Winthrop
between daylight and eleven o'clock, A.
NJ, and the following day narrowed the
remainder. The regular trains were not
interrupted, but the work was so conduct
ed that they went over the road on time
Under the direction of Superintendent
Noyes everything moved like clockwork
only good deal faster. Through pas
sengers can now take their choice of
routes.

The Republicans of New Hampshire
have taken time by the iorelock by an
organized effort to increase the circulation
of their newspapers. There is no better
way to work upon public sentiment than
through the papers. If two or three STIR
ring Democrats in each town in Maine
would take hold of this matter of increas-
ing the circulation of Democratic journals,
now, we doubt not it would have telling
effect upon the great political struggles
of next year. Argus.

Capt. Buckland, whom many in Belfast
will pleasantly remember as formerly con-
nected with our road, is now Chief En-
gineer of the Bangor and Piscataquis
Railroad. In note to us he mentions
that the extension of that road, eight miles
in length, from Foxcroft to Guilford, is
now completed, except one mile CT bal
lasting, and trains are running regularly.
This, it will be remembered, was the OBJ
jective point of the Belfast road, on its
way to the Lake; but it is now apparent
that Bangor has won in the race, and

The report of the Paper Credit Com
mission, making 534 pages, has been com
pleted, and a copy is before us. If the
aspiring multitude that labored to build
the tower of Babel, had each undertaken,
after the disaster, to explain its cause,
the gathered opinions might be something
like this report. 1t begins nowhere and
ends in the same place. Like the bewil-
dered pedestrian who walked seven times
around a race course, and refreshed HIM
self at the same wayside tavern, the rota-
ting reader begins to perceive a sameness
in the narrative. Each and every dealer is
extremely honest, but somebody else is 4
thief. They are joined and yet separate.
like links of sausage from an individual
pig. Each broker puts out more sprouts
OF corruption than an East Indian banyan
grove, and all are joined in bonds of
swindling closer than the Siamese twins.
The volume will serve no purpose except
to swell the exorbitant bills of the State
printer, and to 60 down to posterity as
one of the curiosities of literature. 1t is
pretty evident that the swindle has got to

tons of elvil war Let us be thankful
that anything was saved from the rapa-

for this one couplet from Pope

Secretary of the Treasury or Foreign
Minister, Rear Admiral in the navy or

to ask. He need not be too modest.

The Belfast Journal is again yayel in snir

The Belfast Journal is again veXed in spirit
by "the handwriting on the wall" 1t COM
plains that the teachers permit their urchins to
purloin the chalk crayons designed for black
board use. and it seems that the artistic instincts
of the Belfast gamin find their favorite express
sion in supplementing the suggestive para
graphs of the sanctum by their crude but Apo
site illustrations upon the office hallway.
The Journal says.
AS it is every boy has crayons in his pocket, and
uses them on very slight provocaton. Last week
we detected three boys at this business in office
entry, and gave them the choice between cleaning
the wall going before the Police Court, They did
good deal OF penitential scrubbing in the next two
hours.
Readers of the literary tit-bts TO which we
have referred, will recognize something more
than ''slight provocation,' and while the police
tolerate the letter-press they should have mercy
on the artists. The amount of ''penitentia
scrubbing" required to efface the lessons taught
these misguided youths, could hardly be meas
ured by our present standard of time. as the
most eXtravagant use of lye would avail moth
ing in such task. Bangor Wing.
The Miss Nancyish and affected chastity
Of the Wing is making it as ridiculous as
the woman who put her piano in panta-
lettes and her lap dogs hind quarters in
trousers. 1t is not infrequent that the
secret propensities Of Il strumpct are
sought to be concealed under pre-
tence of icy chastity. But the main
incentive for such comments rs are given
place above, may be found in the fact
that we copied and commented upon a
certain acrostic which the sprightly and
airy young man OF the Wing editorial col
umns published, and which proclaimed
him to be an ass. The whole affair was
cruel, but salutary He needed to be
taught that he was mortal. and we be-
lieve has been brought to that conclusion.
If the theory of the Wing be correct, that
the mind of the vagrant youth of 4 locali-
ty is led TO demonstrate in crayon the most
striking contents of the local sheet, what
should the Wing expect? Clearly that
the editor each morning should find a
rude but striking portraiture of himself on
the office door, with the assinine outlines,
towering ears, and hopeless stupidity
which have been described so prominent
ly in the treacherous poem. Surely the
young Bangorlla has artistic aspirations,
and crayons are cheap. If detected the
youth would have one advantage Peni-
tential scrubbing might etface the image
of the ass, but the fact would remain.
