A CAR THROWN OVER AN EMBANKMESg-
Fire Passengers Badly Injured.-The New
York Post says:
This morning at about O'Clock another
terrible accident occurred at the bridge
which carries the Payonia horse-cars over
the east mouth of the Bergen tunnel. Car
No. 10 OF the West End line was going
down the descent, with 4 man at the brake
and horses attached. In descending it
gained such momentum that neither horses
nor brakeman could stop 1t, and on reach
ing the lower curve it ran of the bridge,
and falling twenty feet, was broken into
fragments. The horses went over with the
car, and were so badly injured that it be-
came necessary to kill them.
Owing to the early hour when the acct
dent occurred, there were but five passen-
gers in the car. These were, however, all
seriously, and one, it is thought, fatally in
jured.
James r. Wolford sustained internal in.
juries from which death is apprehended. A
brother Of eX-Alderman Schich had his
hand crushed. George Holden sustained a
fracture of leg, and gentleman from
Bergen, whose name could not be ascer-
tanned, was terribly cut about the face and
head.
This is the third accident of the kind
which has occurred at the same place.

SENSIBLE. There is blu before the Ten
nc>See Legislature to increase the common
school fund bv q tax on dogs. Such mea-
sure, we believe, is needed. and would
meet with popular appreciation here. The
subject has teen discussed by our town au-
thoritic<. and we understand the board was
unanimously OF the opinion that the tax
ought to he imposed, but differed as to the
amount per capita. 1t seems to us that
they would be acting scnsibly if they would
reconcile this difference, and make the
worthless ours contribute about $500 to the
support Of the public schools soon to be es-
;ajlishcd. But what appears plain to us
mas not be SO TO others. We defer to the
