Marysyille News.-Our correspondent at
Marysvile sends the following:
* On the evening of Dec. 9th, melancholy
accident befell young man of this place,
by the name of Emil. Kunlkle, which caused
his death instantly.
Young Kunkle was employed by the p.
R. r. Co., with gang of men under the
supervision of w. G. Hoke, on the track a
short distance above Newport.
These men were taken to and from their
work from this place by the Ballast Train,
and on returning on Thursday evening
about one mile east of Newport, the train
uncoupled from the engine while running
at the rate of 20 miles per hour, throwing
the young man, (who with some others had
been setting on the dead wood of the en-
gine, with their feet bra ced on the end of
the first carr on the track, the whole train
passing over him, mangling his body almost
beyond recognition.
This it will be remembered is the same
Mr.. Kunkle, who was thrown and almost
dragged to death bya horse in Rye twp,
last summer. The shock to his mother,
| (who has been an invalid for some time)
was so great that she is not expected to
live.

II. X. Accidental very serious accident
happened about mile west Of Mifflin on
Thursday night about II o'clock. The
Cincinnati Express east was in two sections
the Cd section leaving Altoona, nearly an
hour later than the first This train not
being able to make schedule time fell be-
hind, and the second section did not see
the red light until rounding curve the en-
gineer found his train close upon the first.
He promptly applied the air-brake and ar
rested the motion of his train. The sudden
check, however, parted the coupling be-
tween the express and baggage car, the
engine and express car dashed ahead, con-
trolled by the break of the engine alone.
The accident was the immediate result of
the coupling breaking between the tender
of the second engine and the express car.
Had the coupling not broken, no accident
would have occurred AS it was, when the
coupling parted, the rear train came easily
and gently to stand still, the passengers
not knowing why they stopped. But when
the engine became detached, it lost con-
troll of the breaks, and flew with lightning
like rapidity into the first train, which was
running at the time it was struck,a at speed
of full fifteen miles per hour. The result
of the crash was that the two rear Pullman
cars of the first train, were violently driven
into each other. 1t is a strange fact that the
porter of the rear car, who occupied the end
apartment, was uniDjured, while five per-
sons were instantly crushed to death, and
several injured.
The persons killed were Matthew Know
les and j. W. Bacon, of Chicago; w. w.
Dortz, wife and one child Mr.. Dortz was
an employee in the House of Represent
atives at Washington, and was on his way
there. The engine which did the damage,
did not leave the track, and was so little
injured that it took the train on to Har-
risburg.

Juniata COunty.-The following we copy

from the Mifflintown Independent:
On Saturday last Rev. Solomon Seiber,
of Delaware township, near Thompsontown
fell and in falling broke his left wrist.
A young man named Albert Smith, a
flagman on freight train on the Penn
sylvania railroad, was injured about the
head while watching hot boxes on the train,
by coming in contact with the abutment of
public road bridge that crosses over the
railroad, at point between Granville and
Lewistown, on Thursday last. He was
knocked off the car ON which he was stand
ing and when found was unconscious and
remained in that state about "a hours after
the accident occurred. He was brought to
Patterson the same day and medical aid
summoned, and his wounds dressed. He
is getting along as well as could be ex-
pected.

The post-office at Lisburn, this county,
was burglariously entered on Sunday night
of last week. The burglar succeeded in
carrying off the letters that were in the
office.
occupied by Bonmen 81 Co., was broken
into the same night, and robbed of eighty
dollars and an overcoat.
On Wednesday evening last, Edward
Low, son of Mr.. John Low, of Carlisle,
while playing in the Court House, acci-
IDENTIFY slipped from one of the steps and
fell breaking his left arm Immediately
below the elbow, and severely spraining the
right arm. One of his legs was also con-
siderably bruised. Medical aid was imme
diately summoned, when the broken arm
was placed in its proper position and the
lad otherwise cared for. We are glad to
learn that he is recovering rapidly.
On Friday night last an attempt was
made to rob the post-office in Carlisle. The
burglar mistook the Herald printing office
for the post-oflice, and gained access to it
through window in the rear of the build
ing. He soon, however, discovered his
mistake, and vacated the printing office.
Whether he hoped to get into the post
Office from the printing Office no person
but himself knows-as the rooms join each
other and printing Office is a poor place
to seek plunder-but nevertheless his plans
were frustrated. After leaving the print
ing Office, he proceeded to the rear window
of the ost-ofiice-which is one or two be-
low the window in which he entered the
printing office-and while endeavoring to
force the shutter open, the noise awoke
Mr.. Harry Brenneman, who was asleep in
the Office at the time. Mr.. b. Immediately
procured his revolver and fired, when the
william beat retreat down Liberty alley,
and escaped. Had the burglar gained adj
mittance to the Office, Mr.. Brenneman,
would, in all probability have been mur-
dered, and the Office ri1ed of its contents.
A teamster in Shippensburg was arrested

vite.

4 Of the Reported
DiscOy cries of Diamonds In Ari-
IONA and Colorado.

nESyFR CoLoRADo Oct. 24.-Therc is no
longer any doubt a. 70 the discovery Of dia-
mou-heiis in Southwestern Colorado and Ari-
zona. Several packages Of tones have passed
through Denver, and after reaching San Fran
cisco have been proved to contain diamonds Of
the first water, together with other precious
stones. A company of 100 men is organizing
here, and already numbers over eighty, who
will start in a few days, armed, equipped, and
proyisioncd for six months expedition.
Another diamond district has been found in
Colorado, nearly west Of Denver, on the pro-
posed extension Of the A,chison, Topeka and
Santa Re Railroad. An engineers party left
Pueblo on September 3, following the Arkan-
sas river aud Tennessee creek, to the head
watecs Of the Piney river, down the Piney,
Grand, White, and Uintah rivers and reached
salt Lake City October 1Gth. While passing
over that portion Of the route indicated by the
Piney aud Uintah rivers the engineers were
attracted by the brilliancy Of the stones found
in this region, and, without a suspicion Of
them being diamonds, quite a number were
gathered az specimens. After arriving at Salt
Lake City, and hearing Of the Arizona dia-
mond-, these specimens were produced and
tested, and proved to be genuine diamonds,
The belief is rapidly growing that the wealth
Of the Colorado diamond fields will vastly
eclipse her wealth in silver and gold.
