TRAVEL OVER THE DEL. RAILROAD THE "ovER-
LAND ROUTE. a.
We learn upon inquiry at the offices Of the
Delaware Railroad. in this city, this morning,
that great difficulty is experienced in the pro-
curemeHt OF timber with which to construct
trestles in the broken embankments below the
canal. 1t hardly seems possible that the
transfer OF passengers at the canal will he able
to be made from present appearance, to-mor-
row. but il ii is possible it will be done. Super
intendent Kenny is still personally attending to
the work of repairs, and is pushing matters az
fast as possible. In the meantime travel is be-
ing resumed by the old State road, while some
persons go to Baltimore and thence across to
the Peninsula by boat. Others go to Chester and
there take the Pilot Boy for the Delaware bay
coast. Mr.. Irons, of this city, who was caught
at Dover by the damage to the railroad, drove
up yesterday, and we understand that ex- Gov
ernor Salisbury and his daughter drove down.

Another Terrible r.. II. Accident.

Yesterday afternoon, an accommodation train
on the Marietta and Cincinnati railroad, came
into collision with freight train, near Montgo-
merry, Ohio. Both engines and baggage cars
were wrecked. James ParwiDg, brakeman Mr..
Howard, baggage master. aud Charles Kalther,
fireman, were killed. Three of the train hsnds
were badly scaded, but only one of the passen-
gers was injured, and he slightly. The track
was obstructed for several hours. The superiu-
tendent OF the road telegraphed to Cincinnati
that the collision was caused by the watch of the
conductor of the freight train being fifteen min
utes slow. He stated that the conductor and en-
gineer of the freight train ran away when the
collision occurred, but the conductor was soon
afterwards arrested, and warrant was issued
for the arrest OF the engineer adding, I'VE in
tend to prosecute them for murder"

The republicans of the Third Ward are request
ed to meet at the office of the Street Commits
sioner, 6 East 9th St., (old Washington Engine
House,) this evening, to nominate candidate
for City Council. The notice for this meeting is
signed by the "Committee of the Ward, !" and APP
-unnecessarilv so-and the place of meeting,
being entirely outside of tile Ward seems rather
inconvenient.
The election OF Councilman, in the Third Ward
will be somewhat affected by the issue of remov-

Market Some of the store keepers on the latter
declare their intention of disregarding politics,
and supporting whatever candidate will pledge
himself to the transfer bach again. Mr.. Fine

A BIID SUMMER IDYL.
BY D. W. BRowNELL..

Within the shade by willows made,
In soitest summer weather,
We sat b;side the ripping tide
My love and together.
Through clouds Of white, with softened light.
The harvest moonbeams Hhimmeredi
And on the stream silvery Deam
With diamond luster glimmered.
The summer breeze. from fragrant trees,
Delicious odors brought us;
While sounds from o'er the farther shore
In blended sweetness sought US.
And so we. too,--as In us grew
The sense of peace SO gentle
Attuned our song to Natures thr)ng,
Beneath the evenings mantle.
We talked not much, but the soft touch
OF hands, and eyes oft meeting,
Told more by far than words declare.
As heart to heart gave greeting.
Then Midnight come, we loitered home,-
like brother now and sister,
ITO cheat surprise and prying eyes
Till at the gate kissed her.

WorkInr Women in Yiennn.

A correspondent writes from Vienna that near
ly every woman and girl, both Of the wages and
middle classes, work and earn their own living.
Passing along the street, he observes, 'it has
not been my lot yet to see a lady or girl leaning
idly from the window, or sitting within listlessly
perusing some novel or other, as we 30 often
see in the cities at home. 0l the contrary, they
are all busy at something from morning until
night. AT every turn find lady clerks, store
women, cashiers. women in restaurants, women
everywhere, right down to cleaning boots on the
public streets and they all work for very little,
yet seem blithe and CHEEKY, comely and content
Women who labor on the buildings are generally
of the peasantry class. They are dressed in cos
tunes half manly, half womanly, with colored
handkerchiefs tied over their heads as covering.
They get paid tho same as the Slomacks-the
men laborers-from 80 kreuzers (45 cents) up
to forin and 10 kreutzers Cos cents) for day
of eleven hours, commencing work at 6 A. NJ,
taking one hour at noon for dinner then work.
ing on and quitting at 6 P, NJ. They are allowed
to stand up during the working hours and take
a lunch aud drink, which they do, taking the
latter with as much gusto as the fond est lover
of lager beer. On Sunday you should see them
dressed Bright red handkerchief on their
heads tied nnder their chins, one end hanging
away down their backs faces as clean as seap
and water will make them clean, stiff starched
but short cotton dresses worsted stockings, and
strong brogans, leaning upon the arm OF some
private of the Austro- Hungarian army or sitting
with their male comrades in some ono Of the
many beer gardens where the people mostly
congregate on Sundays and holidays"

Notwithstanding the immense damage done
to the Canal, we are assured it will be recon-
s.ructed at once. A representative OF the COM
MERoIAL. called on Andrew @. Gray, Esq, of
New Castle, the Presi lent OF the Company, to-
day, since the great extent of the injuries
has been more fully ascertained. Mr. Gray
SAYS the Company is fully able to repair the
damages and the work will be done Immediate
ly. A large force of workmen is being organ
lied, and the Canal may be opened for naviga-
cation in six weeks or two months
The Company has large contingent fund.-
the precise amount Of which we cannot state
but it is probably over two hundred thousand
dollars, which has been aecumulating for TWEEN
ty years, to be used in such time of over
whelming disaster, and this will be appropriated
at once to the work OF repairs.
