ton OF specie payments They said the flow Of gold to
this country not the result Of healthy condition

said

FrightfuI FaII-NarrOW Escape of q
Postal Car Clerk from Death.

On Thursday afternoon last as the st.
Louis Express train east on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad was passing Hutton's
Switch, Garrett county, sixty miles from
this city, and running at the rate Of from
twenty-five to thirty miles per hour, Mr..
James w. Scott, assistant clerk of the pos
tai car attached to the train, was standing
in the car with his catcher" in position
to catch the mail-pouch at the station, and
the Hutton's Switch pouch poised on his
right foot ready to be hurdled clear of the
train. AS the car approached the crane at
the end of the platform, Mr.. Scott grasped
his catcher firmly and braced himself for
the shock, leaning on the catcher. When
the projecting arm struck the pendant
pouch the horizontal rod of the catcher
slipped out of its sockets and Mr.. Scott was
jerked violently out of the Car. He fell
upon the platform, spun around and roll
ed over half a dozen times. Mr.. Caleb B.
Hynes, the clerk in charge of the car, was
in another part oflthe car and was not "a
ware of Mr.. SCOTS mishap until the train
stopped a mile or more east of Hutton's
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1873-10-10

Switch and the conductor rushed in to see
who had fallen from the train, when Mr..
Scott was not to be found. A passenger
had seen a man spinning through the air
and informed the conductor of the fact
The train was at once backed to the sta
ton, where Mr.. Scott was found in charge
of some persons living near by who had
seen him fall and had gone to his assist
ance. Marvellous to state he was found to
be not seriously hart. His face was covered
| with blood from wound over his left eye,
but the cut was not long nor deep; Ibis left
arm was badly bruised and there were sew
eral bruises and abrasions on both his
hands; his clothing was torn and disar-
ranged and his left boot torn in a manner
that suggested its passage through the cut
ting mrchine of the paper mill, and Mr.
Scott felt as he said considerably shaken
up," but no bones were broken and it is
thought that he will be able to attend to
his duties in few days. He was brought
to this city by the express train and is now
at the Queen City Hotel.
Mr.. Scott is resident of Huntington
City, Prince Georges county, Maryland
and editor of the HuntingtOaiGn. He is Of
strong and compact build and to this fact
perhaps is due his narrow escape from
death or at least very serious injury

The Disappointed and the Expectants.

The Disappointed and the Expectants.
"Sitting on rail" with knowing friend,
on the day of the meeting of the co-inci-
dent Conventions, we noticed the advent of
the so-called Independent Democrats, and
we easily spotted every man. They were
with the assistance of our knowing friend,
divided into two classes--the disappointed
and expectants. We counted among the
disappointed, three tobacco inspectors,
seven tax collectors, one sheriff, three
clerks to the Commissioners Court, two
supervisors, three committee clerks to the
Legislature, two candidates for the Legis-
lature, one who had applied for everything
from tobacco inspector to court bailiff, one
man mad because he had not been drawn
on the jury, and one man mad because he
had been disappointed in himself. AS for
the expectants, they comprised all of the
above and the few besides whom we have
not counted, and who composed the entire
body. We suppose they will all be graft
fled, for the Radical candidate for the Sen
ate was heard to say on that day-"D
a party that can't give all of its members
an Office"

w@A Railroad is now in contemnl

ga Railroad is now in contemplation
from the Russian town of Orenburg to Pc
shawur, in India, distance of 500 miles.
When this portion of the line shall have
been finished a railroad will extend, with
out break of gauge, from Calais to Calcut-
ia, through Warsaw and Moscow. AS it
would enable Russia or France to send
troops direct to India, in case ola war with
England, the press of the latter country are
naturally very much disturbed at the
prospect of the successful completion of
the work. That feeling will not be allay-
ed by the fact that Central Asia at this
time is in very disturbed condition, and
that the Afghans were in active hostility
against their Persian neighbors on the
West, and at the same time carrying on a
dangerous intrigue with the Emir of Box
hara. The New York HerGld's London cor
in his latest dispatch upon this
subject declares that lit is altogether prob
able that the Russian Emperor will before
long be compelled in self-defence to take
towards Bokhara the same course he has
recently taken towards Khiva, and perma-
nently occupy the territory and reduce it
to the condition of Russian dependency"
In view of the manifest intention of Russia
to take possession of the whole of Central
Asia, the building of railroads to transport
troops in that direction assumes double
