There was no one imprisoned In the burning
car, it will be remembered, until the bridge
gave way. Many escaped from the other cars,
and many who are now dead could have
escaped from the burning cars had they
remained on firm foundation. As it was,
the breaking of the bridge jammed the cars
together, tossed the passengers about help
lessly, and added drowning, freezing and
another crash Of colliding cars to the dreadful
agencies Of death and mutilation that COM
menced the work.
The verdict of the jury is altogether unsat-
isfactory. The public are not willing that the
careless officials of our railroads be allowed to
slaughter them with no fear Of anything more
terrible than such verdict as this before their
eyes; or that the one faithful official, who
"knowin' his duty done it, is to be thus sour
vily treated by the whitcwashing Of the Off
cials whose careessness brought him to his
death.

We have received st. Thomas dates to the
10th instant. At that time there was
rumor current there that o revolution had
broken out in Hayt, the object of it being to
place Salamons in the Presidential chair. Sala-
mons is now in Europe, but was expected at
st. Thomas at an early date
Approximation had appeared at st. Thomas
from Capotillo, calling all the Domncaus to
arms and to drive Baez from Dominica, and in
this way prevent the country being sold like
piece of merch andise.
Preparations are being made at St. Thomas,
now that the floating dock has been recovered,
to raise the Liverpool steamer Colombia, that
was sunk by the great tidal wave of October,
1867 in the middle of the harbor. Operations
on her will soon commence, as Murphy, the
diver, a month since was arranging matters in
connection with raising her.
The harbor Of st. Thomas is now full of
ships Of all nations.

no survey or accounts would be paid
The island is so healthy that the doctors
