a Gigantic HALLWAY Car

Among the mechanical novelties to be
seen in operation at the Grand Central
Depot IN this city. is a steam railway car
seventy feet wide, which travels on a track
of corresponding width. This great vehicle
is made in the form OF n lew platform car,
and the track on which it runs is provided
with four rails, extending from Fourth
avenue TO Madison avenue. The car is
used for the lateral transfer Of passenger
cars from the main tracks of the Hudson
River, Harlem, and New Haven railways
to the various side tracks, thus avoiding
the use of turnt ahlcs. The car is pro-
PEELED by steam, the engine and boiler
being contained within si.eet-iron house
carried on one side of the machine.
The cars to be transferred are run upon
the great car; steam is then turned on,
and the huge machine trOts off with its
burden with as much ease as 4 horse
draws buggy. The In..i.jne is supp 'ci
on eight wheels. arrag indepe. i

LLat he was III nO condition to

accept on condition that he was only to
partially CANVASS the district, Dir. ID. S.
COwan urged upon the Convention the un-
fairness and Imjustness Of forcing Colonel
Taylor into the canvass, and i'll tIeW of the
great sacrifice Mr.. Taylor would be called
upon to make III becoming a candidate,

and that be nominated him, and moved
that he he nominated hy acclamatiOn'-
Col. Taylor arose and said that he saw 10
other course LEFT for him but to accept. He
thanked the Convention for the exceed

We call attention TO the address of
.josErH II. SEPARK, Esq, Conservative
candidate for Superintendent Of Public
Works. to the Mechanics Of North Caro-
lima. We have rarely, if ever, seen pe-
Iilical or other paper better, either in
matter form or taste. Mr.. SEPARk's
shops and the work there turned out show
hat he is thorough practical Mechanic; /;
his address shows that he wields the pen of
vigorous as well as ready writer, and
his recent speech in Raleigh showed that he
IS an effective and eloquent speaker. We
congratulate the State and the Mechanics
hat they lave so able representative
,pon the State ticket.
We have the promise Of Mr.. SErAEK to
speak in Wilmington during the canvass, if
possible. We trust nothing will arise to
prevent his coming.

seemtIs TO the Earth. takes up Tim.

RrODerfY.

CINCINNATI, June 11.-Latcr particu-
lars from the scene of the tornado, which
visited Quincy and DeGraff, in Logan
county, on Saturday evening, show that it
was more terrible and destructive than
first reports indicated. y sultry day was
followed by the appearance of cloud i'll
the west at ) O'Clock i'll the even ng, which
gathered blackness and size with fearful
rapidity. A heavy wind set in, and at $50
O'Clock the whirlwind struck the earth five
miles from Quincy, moving northwest
wardly.
The destroyer was hardly more than five
minutes i'll reaching Quincy, through
which it passed, making a clean sweep of
houses, trees, and fences along It's path,
which fortunately was comparatively mar
row. In this village fifty or sixty dwell
linCS and stores and two churches, and as
many more shops, stables, and Out-huiid-
ings, were unroOfed, or rocked upon their
foundations, or demolished. The air was
literally flied with flying weathcr-boards,
furniture, laths, and plaster. 4 parlOr
stove was cauGht up by the wind and
hurled through the air, and falling upon
woman, crushed her SO that she died. The
Baptist and Methodist Episcopal churches
were completely destroyed.
The tornado on its way 10 DeGratl
struck BoggS Touring mill, five stories high,
containing three thousand bushels on gram,
moving the building nine inches upon its
foundation, and carrying away portion of
the fifth story. 1t ploughed its way through
DeGratr, scattering destruction in its path,
but hurting fewer persons and injuring
less number of buildings. After leaving
DeGraff it passed several settlements, and
finally rose from the earth, and was seen
for miles, carrying in its funnel-shaped
form timber, rails, and debris which it had
gathered in its destructive march. The
papers this morning give the names Of
thirty y-nine persons injured in Quincey and
eleven in DeGraff, not comprising all the
injured i'll the former village. Mrs Rail,
reported to have been killed in DeGratf, is
yet living. Two OF her children were kill
ed Mrs. Click, i'll Quincy, has since died
of her wounds.

BAD CROP PROSPECT.-Il 4 some parts of
the Valley OF Virginia the crop prospect is
terrible, especially in Clarke county. y
letter Of the Ssh, from White Post, says !:
The wheat crop is a failure, and from
the present lookout corn wont answer TO
its name when called for, although it is too
soon to speculate on that Weld yet. The
cut " orm takes it down IS fast as it comes
up, and many farmers have turrowed out
and IcYlanied entirely Ihe like OF the
W0lmS has never been seen before.
Another letter from MillWood, Clarke
county, tells a similar story.
We have employed all the machinery at
the disposal Of a metropolitan newspaper
to gather colhGentialiy the opinions of
local leaders in different States. We have
sent our most trusted correspondents upon
Journeys Of hundreds Of miles for the same
purpose.
Il is Tot to be HclicL-at lc;s: We should
scorn TO deny it-th&t thcy bring rs back
report amon3 many who scout GICeley's
endorsement a Baltimore, and of some
here and there who favor It as the only
hope Of the country. For it is not reason
able to expect If even the best and most
faithful local leaders 4 knowledge OF sur
