this week. BY m accident on thr rnilroad be-
tween here and New York, which caused much
loss to the Growers, on account of not being
able 10 get thsiy fruit 10 market, and BY the late
arrival OF empty cars. The accident occurred on
the Junction Railroad, where Il crosses the Read
ing road by means OF mn iron Bridge. A fright
train consisting Of twenty eight cars, was pass
ing Over the bridge on Tuesday morning, when
the fifteenth car jumped from the Truck, and
striking the side Of the bridge, knccked II oii

dowa on the Reading track, twenty feet below.
The disaster had hardly occurred when train of
ninety coal ears. fully laden, came running up
to the bridge The engineer and fireman jumped
from the engine and escaped with their lives,
though sustaining some Sigh, injuries. In a
moment more the coal train colldcd with terrific
force with the huge pile Of ruin which filled The
cl,asn,. The shock Of the coal train threw twelve
Of It's cars from the track, while ten of them
were completely slashcd and battered up, and
lying piled upon each other. Their wreck wa'
complete. IN n few moments after the collision
OF the coal train conhagra'ion cnsued, which
destroyed all the ears tina, plunged into Nh,
chasn,, with all their valuable merehs ndisc and

stroycd aud lag piled upon the charrrd cars thu
ruins OF the bridge, and the cars OF the New
York train with dry goods.
! One hundred workmen were Sc, TO work re
pairing the damage, and On wednesday evening

The Schoeppe-S -Steinnecke Murder.

The new trial of DR.. Paul Schoeppc for
the murder Of Miss Steinncekc. three
years since, commenced at Carlisle, Penn.
sylyania, on Wednesday morning.
The history. briefly. Of this extraordi-
nary case is as follows; The lilst trial Of
Paul Schoeppe was commenced in this
court before Judges Graham, Stuart and
Blair, on the 2ith Of May, 1859 aud was
concluded on the Sd Of June having occa.
pied ten days. The indictment charged
Paul Sehocppc with administering poison
ous substances to Miss Sieinnecke, on the
9th Of January. 1869, from which she
died the next day. Miss Stcinnecko was
II maiden lady, abou, sixiy.iive years of
age, residen, Of Baltimore city. who
while upon visit to Carlisle was attended
By Paul schocppc. who proiesscd to be .
physician. who won her confidence by his
attentions aud obtained from her a large
sun, Of money. On the trial circumstan-
tial evidence was offered to prove that she
died by poison administered by Schoeppe
Professor Akin testified that he found
traces Of arsenic in her stomach after
death. Miss Steinnccke made will on
tho 18th Of November, 1865, which was
admitted to probate in the Orphans Court
Of Baltimore. the day after her funeral in
that city, A few hours afterwards Paul
Schoeppe filed will in the same court,
purporting to have been executed By Miss
NJ. NJ. Sieinnccke on the 3i Of December.
1868 The will was in the handwriting
Of Scboeppc. and was witnessed by
Schorppe's father. who then resided in
Carlisle. The will bcqpca,hed to Paul
Schoeppc the entire estate Of the deceased
estimated 10 be over $50. 900. The friends
Of the deceased declared tho will for.
gerry. md no attempt hos ever been made
to prove 1t.
The result Of the trisl was a verdict Of
guilty Of murder. A motion for a new
trial was msde aud ovcrrulcd. A petition
to the Supreme Court for writ Of error
was dismissed. Governor Geary issued a
warrant for Sshocppc's execution on the
23d Of December. 1869. A writ Of error
was subsequently, granted, and after argu.
ment the Sapreme Court affirmed the
judgment Of the court below. The pris.
oner'y counsel then procured the passage
Of a general act by the Legislature Of
Pcnnsylyania which made it the duty ol
the Supreme Court to examine all the Law
aud The facts Of tho case when writ o
error is sued out.
The Supreme Court decided in May
| 1870. that the act could not be &c pos
Jacto in its operation. aud declined to hea,

pardon tho prisoner, but declined TO 6s
