THE Work CoaIMENcED.-By referring
TO our report OF yesterdays proceedings in
the Police Court, it will be seen that the
work of clearing the streets Of wagons,
carts and all sorts of wheeled vehicles has
been commenced. Milder measures have
been tried but have failed to accomplish
the object. 1t has been concluded to
adopt a more rigorous mode, and owners
OF such land craft will consult their pecu-
MARY interests by needing the example
made of Mr.. Rothacker. =.

A Train Runs Through station
Platform full Of Passengers.


Platform full OF Passengers.
CINCINNATI, january 3O.-As the pas.
sOnger train on the Louisville Short Line
railroad, due here at S45 last night, was
passing Eagle Station, fifty miles from
this city, u most terrible accident Oc.
Cured. The depot platform contained a
number OF passengers, who had been
waiting for the train, and just after the
locomotive and express car had passed
the switch at that point safely it broke,
and the remaining cars were swept across
the platform, moving down a number Of
persons who were upon It The express
car was totally wrecked, and caught fire,
but was speedily extinguished
Among the casualties wcro John Nc.
Dermott, postmaster at the Station, badly
bruised George Roswell, citizen, several
ribs broken; Joseph johnson, Station
agent, leg broken and head badly bruised;
Mr.. Hampton, citizen, right foot crushed
of, arm broken in two places and other
wise badly injured. The two last named
persons are not expected tolive. Richard
Reeves, express messenger, was slightly
bruised. The latter gentleman was
brought to this city this morning.
1t Is fortunate the weather was so in.
element, for otherwise there would have
been much larger number Of, persons
standing on the platform.

Nor DEAD.-There was report in
the city, Monday, that John Price, who
was ut one time deputy lookup keeper,
had jumped from window in the County
Infrmary, and had been killed. The
rumor was not correct, so far as the
death OF Price is concerned. 1t is known
to many Of our citizens that Price, some.
time since, was sent to the Inflrmary.
Until within the past few days he con.
Quoted himself with becoming propriety,
but one day last week he began TO exhibit
unmistakable manifestations of insanity.
Getting hold Of a knife, he slightly in
1ured two or three of his companions.
This and other indications induced Capt.
Stanley, the agent, to conflne him
in one of the rooms on the first floor.
Last Friday night Price raised the window
and made his escape to the woods, His
absence was discovered and search
instituted in all directions. The next
morning he was found some distance
from the building, almost perished-thc
night having been among the coolest Of
the season. He was brought back to the
house and most kindly cared for by Capt
S. The authorities OF the Intrmary
deeming 1t unsafe to have him kept there
longer, made application to have him re,
moved, and Monday last, Sheriff Brown
and one Of his deputies brought him tc
the county Jail, wherehe is now confined
There Is very little doubt that he is o f,
subject for the asylum at Weston, and we
heard yesterday, that the initiatory steps
for his admission to that institution will
be taken at an early day.

THE PISTOL.

MONDAY evening about 0 o'clock, the
central portion Of the city was owninto
an excited state by the reported shooting
Of o man at the Baltimore& Ohio machine
shops. The report proved to be too true.
As there has been no legal investigation Of
the case, we give that version Of several
In relation to the sad affair, which appears
10 be the best authenticated John
Mcohan and George Mcdonald were both
employees OF the railroad company-the
former engaged in.running engine No 1863;
the latter, as night foreman about the
shops. Down to the evening Of the unIor.
tunate affair the mcnhadbecn on the most
friendly terms. McGhan has family;
McDonald,is unmarried. About 0 o'clock
on the evening named, Mcdonald was
sitting in his office, when McGhan en-.
tered and remarked that he "had come
TO settle that matter" Mcdonald asked
"what matter| MEG. replied, "you
know" and Immediately discharged q
pistol hc had in his hand, unobserved by
Mcdonald. The ball took effect in Mods.
right arm near the shoulder joint, shat
tering the bone. Wounded, rs he was, he
sprang from the seat he was occupying and
elected McGhan from the office, and
then, fearing further injury, sought safety
in flight. Mcdonald took refuge in q pit
over which an engine was standing, but
was soon discovered by his adversary.
Watching his opportunity he escaped
from his hiding place at one end just as
MEG. was entering It at the other, and
bleeding and wounded, made his way the
best he could In the dark and cold 10 the
house Of friend in tho Eighth Ward.
Arriving there, surgeon was called
who did all he could to mitigate the poor
mans suferings.
McGhan was arrested and taken TO tho
lookup, and remained there during the
balance of the night, and until 1Oi o'clock
yesterday morning, when he was taken
before Esquire Forbes. The prisoner re.
quested that the examination be postponed
until next Saturday or perhaps it would
be more correct to state, that he waived
an investigation until that day. He asked
to be released on bail, which, after some
hesitation, was granted by the Justice.
The penalty of the bond was fixed at
$1,000, but no one was found willing 10
assume the responsibility. In default Of
giving security, he was committed to Jail.
Yesterday morning Mcdonald was re.
moved to his boarding house, near Ham
ilton's foundry, and was reported to be as
comfortable last evening as the nature
Of his wound wonld permit.

FROZEN OvER.-Wc were shown O
dispatch from Cincinnati, yesterday
stating that the river was frozen over at
that point for tho first time in many
years, and that boys were skating on it in
every direction. Precisely tho same
state Of affairs existed here, yesterday,
only "thc first time" part of tho pro.
grammc. The ice, however, was not
smooth enough for llrsL.class skating,
still hundreds of little skaLists were doing
their best in improving the opportunity
for such sport. The creek afforded a
much better field for operations-the ice
being much smoother. Numbers of per.
SONS had made the discovery and were
taking advantage of it.

THE NEW HospTTAL-We sincerely
congratulate the Special Committee t
whom were entrusted the erection ant
furnishing OF this greatly needed public
charity, upon tho successful termination
Of their labors.
The building was taken of the hands O.
tho contractor-Mr. Edward Clator-
Monday evening at 0 o'clock, and at moor
yesterday, It was occupied by nice old
English gentleman and his wife, who
have charge OF the institution, and will
take good care of any and oil who may
be sent thither with smallpox or any
other disease. The building has two
wards-one for females, 1Sx25 feet; the
other for adult males, 1Sx30 feet; 70 feet
high to the square, and ventilating
roof, with side lights. The fami
lyI rooms arc three in number, will
pantry and presses, and all neatly plas.
tered and painted, while along the entire
length Of the building, on the creek side
is a porch six feet wide. Indeed, nothing
seems to be wanting either in the plan OF
the building or in the furnishing Of the
wards, and il is therefore an honor to the
city, and reflects great credit on those
who have had it in charge. 1t is good
enough for any sick body, and we doubt
il a private residence in the city could be
found which would furnish as good rooms
for smallpox patients as are there pro.
vided. The plan of the hospital is after
the army regulation style-that is, built
with view, first and last, to the comfort
OF the sick.
Just now, fortunately, we can boast Of
being almost entirely free of smallpox
patients, there being only three or four
convalescent cases in the city; but to.mor.
row may bring another batch of cases that
will have to be cared for at city expense,
and II so, the Health Officer will be ready
for them. 1t is for this class of patients
that II is principally intended, but any.
body, rich or poor, may go Herewith
the provlso, however, that those who are
able to pay must foot the bills made for
their care; but even in this event bed at
the Hospital will be the most economical
course that can be adopted. We say,
therefore, that all classes of our people
should feel glad that we have such com.
modious, well arranged, and ellgibly sit.
uatcd Hospital. No better site could have
been selected within the city limits.

A Brief Ii.oour.s Upon Hats.
Thomas J. Bowditch writes to the

Thomas J. Bowditch writes to the
Troy Times:
There is considerable character
in the manner in which a person
wears a hat. You sometimes meet
person whose hat has a knowing
tip, just the least bit suggestive Of
the careless, cheerful disposition
Of the wcarer. 1t seems as if he
has tipped it back SO that all the
world may see his Jolly, good-na-
tured face, and understand that he
is at peace with all the world. You
meet another of a different type. He
pulls his hat low down over his
brows, and seems to be continually
taking lKe measure Of his boots.
You feel at once that is not the sort
of a man with whom you can ex-
change confidence. Here comes
another, and this kind always wear
sstoye-pipe, and set it evenly up
on the summit of the Uranium, as if
an inch to the right or left would
destroy their equilibrium. Be care
full of such men; put them in band
boxes; tie them up tightly; liable
them first classic be kept in law
ender," and put them carefully
away. Here is another hat which
has seen better days, but is now at
its worst. Its glory has long since
departed, and from the worn and
shabby band to the napless crown,
it speaks of the days which are
gone. Perhaps the wearer Of that
hat was the life and soul Of our
young folks parties - the great
catch-the model young man; but
now he is worse faded and torn than
his shapelcss tile. Poor fellow.
"Whisky did it," You meet other
hats as different in shape and
quality as the habits of the wearers.
Hats which have long passed the
season of their usefulness are gen
orally looked at with disgust.
Why do men gaze with doubt and
suspicion upon shabby hat?
Perhaps because it seems to show
that the owner is going down the
hill of adversely. If this is not so,
why is it impossible for man to
pass a worn-out hat without giving
it kick? l believe there is ten
dcncy in the mind of every human
being to kick an old hat out Of his
way whenever he may encounter it
on the sidewalk. have seen men
90 into the middle of the street
simply t.. kick one of these dilapid-
ated objects. A few years ago We
noticed away ahead most shock
ing hat, lying top downward on the
sidewalk. A tall, consequential,
dignified-looking person was walk
ing slowly on before, and as he APP
preached the dilapidatcd tile he
raised his right leg and gave it u
vigorous kick, which ought to have
sent it across the street, and would
have done so if the hat hadn't been
filled with paving stones. AS he
limpcd along we heard him mutter
a bad word, and his countenance,
as we passed him, wore an express
sion of dissatisfaction.
