Iron Mountain Railroad Accident.

The following special dispatch is pub
day:
ST. LOUIS, August 25.-Last night at
twenty minutes of six o'clock, when the
mail train bound north on the Iron Noun
tain railroad was just below Jefferson Bar
racks, it struck short piece of rail imper.
fectly spiked The engine, express car and
the front truck of the baggage car had
passed over it in safety, when the end be-
came loosened and moved, the rear truck of
the passenger car caught and tore it up,
throwing several cars following from the
track.
The spot at which it occurred was one of
the worst on the road, it being directly on
The bank of the river, and but for the fact
that the train was moving at a slow rate
the ladies' car, smoking car, and Blood's
patent car must have gone over the bank,
and into the water The couplings did not
break, and although the ladies' car was
turned over on its side, and two others
thrown short distance down the bank,
they were not badly damaged. The passen-
gers, with the exception of one lady, es-
capped without injury. She had one of her
limbs bruised, butIwas not so seriously hurt
as to prevent her walking to the station.
Several of the baggagemen and brake
men were pitched down the embankment,
and one of the latter was considerably
bruised by the fall. The mail train was fol-
lowed by an excursion train of ten coaches
closely loaded with the teachers of the Ma
tional Association, returning after having
spent the day at Iron Mountain. This train
was signaled and stopped in time.

NOTICE.
NOTICE,
NEW ORLEANS BUILDING ASSOCIATION.

As provided in the charter Of this institution, no
assessment will be made until fifty Thousand dol
lars were subscribed Over tAat amount having
already been subscribed. ten per cent on the same
is now due likewise, the same viii be required on
all subsequent subscriptions at the time of sub
soribing. No second installment will be due until
over $20o,000 are subscribed, when there will be
due notice given for a general meeting OF stock
holders to participate in election for officers,
and moreover, to discuss and settle such questions
as may be suggested by any of the members. In
the meantime there shall be no accumulation of
expenses. Several lots for building upon are al
ready secured but operations must of necessity be
only to limited extent until the greater part OF the
capital stock is subscribed, during which time,
however, stockholders only can be accommodated,
and outsiders not until there shall be surplus
funds or until the wants of the stockholders are
provided for. Consequently, it behooves all who
contemplate or desire the advantages and facili-
ties offered by this association, to become owners
of one or more shares while the opportunity offers.
There has not been, nor viii not be- any pre-
teTred stock issued by this company for value
must be received when certificates of paid up
stocks are given. Parties who have already sub
scrbed and all of those who favor this enterprise,
respectfully requested TO exert their influence
in its behalf for certainly it viii be to the interest
Of this association to commence work as soon
possible. Besides the constant demand daily here
at this Office for houses, etc. terms provided
by the charter and bylaws are almost innumer-
able. This is embarrassing, if not intolerabe to
the party who has to turn said applicants OFF with
ont giving them any satisfactory or definite
swer. This indeed, is an evidence OF the amount
of work this association would command when
made ready to- accommodate applicants. The
profits in building, and the interest on same, Sc
cured by unquestionable eolaterals, and the in
ducements offered to subscribers now prospect
lively, and guaranteed to stockholders hereafter in
reality as far as transactions extend And judging
from the demands heretofore and at present there
is reason to doubt but that the association can
be kept constantly employed with every dollar OF
its capitalsecurely and proitably invested.

From the New Iberia Sugar. Boct we

From the New Iberia Sugar Bo,ct we
learn this about Jail breaking:
Three prisoners confined in the chicken
coop, or Jail as some term it, in this town,
made their escape on Wednesday evening
by boring four auger holes through the door
and then breaking it in, which was NO very
difficult task when we take into eonsidera-
ton that the door was made of one-inch
boards, without covering of any kind.
One of the prisoners, Valentine Alb
shire, charged with murder and rape in ver-
from that parish and lodged in this ial. a
change of venue having been granted him.
He was to have been tried in the district
court in October. Of the other two prison
ers, one was confined on a charge Of larceny
and the other for assault and battery.

Affairs i'm the Indian Territory.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The rapid in
flux of whites, without permits from the
agents or Indian executives, is creating a
good deal of trouble in the Indian Terri
tory. The United States Marshal is kept
busy in arresting persons who bring goods
into the Territory without authority. The
agent for the Cherokees has been compelled
70 issue notices to citizens not to enter the
dian lands. He also gives notice to white
persons employed by the Indians that they
have no redress if the latter refuse to pay
them, unless they have previously obtained
the requisite permit to live in the Territory.
The question of organizing this Territory is
evidently pressing for solution, as the pro-
gress of the railroad now being constructed
inevitably draws the white settler thereto.

We give the cast:

General Grant does not agree with Gen
eral Butler in thinking that the militia
should not have fired upon the mob on the
occasion OF the Orange riot, in New York,
until after the riot act had been read. He
says: "This would have been rather an un-
judicious proceeding. The mob knew they
were violating the law. without having it
formally quoted to them. Our late rebel
lion was riot on big scale, and think it
lasted as long as it did just because we
wanted to read. too many riot acts at the
beginning"

In the seventh inning the Athletics were
whitewashed, the Chicagos scoring one
run, making the game tie. In the eighth
inning the Athletics drew another blank,
the Chicagos adding another run to their
score. In the ninth inning the Athletics
went out in one; two, three order; the
Chicagos then went to the bat for their last
inning, but the crowd had lost all interest
in the game, the Chicagos being one ahead,
added two runs to their score, and the
game ended just as the rain commenced,
with the Chicagos three ahead.
The following is the score by innings:
