SERIOUS ACcDENT.-Mr. Edward NJ Young,
a brakeman on the Portland & Ogdensburg
railroad, was quite badly injured late Tuesday
afternoon by being struck on the head by a
bridge near White Rock, under which the
freight train on which he was was passing. He
was struck on the back of the head and fell for
ward so that his head hung over the edge of the
car probably, as the blood from the wound had
dropped between the cars. When the train
stopped at Gambo he got down from the car
but was out of his head and could give no ac-
count of the accident. He had probably lain
sometime in an unconscious state, and it is al
most miracle that he did not fall between the
cars while the train was in motion and suffer
instant death. He was brought to this city,
where he lives, and Dr. Burr called, who pro-
nounced his wound a flesh wound and probably
not dangerous

This sum is to be applied by aboard of Public

municipal enterprise to the people of Trenton.

citizens think of it. If the city government should
resolve to expend this vast amount in paving
streets, laying sewers, and otherwise improving
and identifying the place? And vet we firmly
believe that even this enormous expenditure
would pay. This city is the general home of our

The Turnpike TTOuble-GOOd Prospect for a Settle
meRt Of tie Difficulty and ompLetion of the
Road TO this District.

1he Iafpptke Irouote-Good Prospect for a Settle
meRt o. tie Difficulty and Completion of the
Road TO this District.
FALLS CHURCH, July "a, 1871.
Editor Of Star: The road fever is still raging. A
meeting was held here last Saturday evening
for the purpose of effecting a reconciliation be-
tween the members of the Fairfax and Georg--
town Turnpike Company. Some of the mem
bers, for certain reasons, have been dissatisfied
with the action of the majority of the stock sub
scribers in lo eating the road, and an injunction
was procured and the work stopped. This in
junction has been dissolved for some time, but
lawsuits continue and other opposition is made
to the enterprise. 1t has been found that these
difficulties in the Turnpike Company must be
arranged before any road from here to your city
can be built. Cannot get force enough without.
The meeting well attended, the people
were there in force, and the opposition members
sented, and six OF the nine directors of the com
pany were present. Judge Bramlall was made
chairman and John VI cCOrmick, Esq, secretary,
failing the facts that have transpired i'm relation
to road matters, and sundry resolutions for
basis Of action by the meeting. Speeches ere
made on the part OF the people by Judge
Bramhall, i. S. Abbott, Judge Gray, John Nc
Weigh and James Munson; by Spencer A. Coe
and George b. Ives, OF the disaffected part of
the Turnpike Company, and by George b.
whiting, X. A. Phillips, q. D. Wonder and
Henry Febrey, of the directors of the company.
In the main, the speeches were moderate and
conellatory The resolutions were adopted, and
a committee, consisting of ten persons, four on
the part of the citizens, to wit: Judge j. II.
Gray, l.. s. Abbott, John McVeigh and Sumner
Fits, and G. b. Whiting, &. ii. Bruxton, G. o.
wonder Oh the part of the company, and G.. b.
Ives, Truman Brush and Spencer A. Coe on the
part OF the disaffected members, was appointed
This committee meets on "Wednesday afternoon
to consult, and to agree If possible on an accept
able proposition or plan OF settlement of the
turnpike difficulties. Matters / must confess
look encouraging. If harmony can be estab-
lished among the dscordant elements we hope
to have work commenced on a road TO Washing
ton speedily. Let us have your amen to our
efforts for better transportation facilities.
Weather cool and dry now, and rather bad
