ANOTHER RAILROAD AccIDRNT-PALAcE
CAB BURNED AND SEVERAL PERSONS In.
JUREp.-Iroy, Feb. 16.-The Montreal ex.
press train, which left New York at P
NJ, ran off the track between this city and
Albany tonight about 10 P. M. A broken
rail threw the train from the track. After
running about twenty rods upon the ties
the rear coach swung against an embank.
ment on the right and became detached.
Meantime the tender had become uncou.
pied from the baggage-car, and that car and
the palace car tumbled down into ravine.
The palace car Immediately took fire from
gasoline on board, and both cars were
burned up. The passengers escaped
through the windows. Alfred Hillyard, of
Pennsylvania, upon returning into the car
for his baggage, was severely burned about
the head and neck, but not fatally. Others
were burned, but not seriously. The mails
and baggage were all saved.
Rougkkeepsie. Feb. 17.--Information has
been received here from reliable sources
that the accident last night near Greenbush
was caused by the spreading of the rails,
and upon close examination by detectives
1t was found that spikes had been drawn
from one OF the rails. This information has
been impaired to the officials OF the road,
and q thorough investigation will take
pace Immediately.

mPOIsONOUS MEDICINES

NJ POISONOUS MEDICINES
The theory that the virus Of disease can be safely
counteracted by doses of poison is false and dan
gerous. Within the last twenty-five years not less
than score of virulent poisons have been ADDED
to The repository of the medical profession. They
are given In small doses otherwise they would de-
stroy life immediately bat even in minute guam
titles they produce ultimately very disastrous Ell
fects. II is unwIse and unphilosophical to employ
as remedies powerful and insidlous drugs, which,
in subjugating one disease, SOW the seeds OF an
other still more unmanageable. None Of these
terrible medIcamcnts operates with as much d.
rectness and certainty upon the causes OF disease
as HOsTETTER'S STOMACH B1TTERS to-
mic and corrective without single deleterious

THE HOLDEN IMPEAcHMENT.-[Special to
the Norfolk Journal -Ralet5h, N. g., FEB.
l7.--Ihe examination Of witnesses in behalf
of the mara GERS was continued in the Court
Of Impeachment to-day. In regard to Hol-
denis denial in his answer OF having ordered
The arrest of Hon. Josiah Turner, in Hills
boro', Captain G.. German testified that on
the day Of election, last summer, respond
emf said, in his presence, that ne would, or
he had, ordered the arrest.
Robert Torrell, telegraph operator at
Company Shops, testified that all the tele-
grams at that office were sent to Richmond
four hours before he received the summons
to bring them before the court.
John Pragg, operator at this place, testi-
fed that the kilograms on file in his office
had been ordered to New York.
Joseph Cooley, operator at Hillsboro' :,
was ordered to file the kilograms in his pos
session with the clerk of the court.
From the testimony Of the Adjutant-Gen
eral it was aScertained that the correspond
ence between Holden and Kirk, during the
raid on Alamance and Caswell, had been
suppressed-none OF the Governors letters
or orders of any Importance appearing in
the Executive letter-book.
A. d. Jenkins, clerk in the Treasury Of
flee, and the first paymaster of Holden's
troops, testified that he was removed when
Judge Mitchell issued an injunction against
his paying Kinks men, and that he turned
over forty thousand dollars to one Neither
ly, who was appointed by Holden to sue
coed him as paymaster. ....
The general result of the evidence went
to show that respondent and his friends are
using every effort to suppress all docu.
ments that throw any light on the transac.
tons of last summer.
The dodge to avoid Judge Mitchell's in.
junction against paying public money to
Kinks band was completely exposed and
shown up. S.
