NARROW ESCAPE.-The Winchester Ac>
commodatiou train, when nearing Charles
town on Tuesday morning last, made narrow
escape from total destruction. On the morn
ing aforesaid, short time before the Accom-
mediation train was due here, a young man by
che name of Joseph Sappiugton discovered
che small bridge near the residence of Mr.. s.
W. Wysong to be on fire, and apoe examlna-
ton found that portion of the tressling had
been entirely consumed. The track at this
point is built upon = considerable embank>
nleut, with q small stream of water on one
side, and had the train then nearly due not
been foreWarned, it would in all probability
have been precipitated from the track, killed
the engineer and fireman. and perhaps re-
suited in loss of life aud injury to passengers
and total wreck of the train. Taking in
the situation at glance, the young man re-
ferred to, as the best means then occurring to
him to avoid an accident. fastened to the resi-
dence of Mr.. Thomas Young. boss of the rail-
road hands of that section, and Informed him
of the matter. Mr. Young then sent word
self immediateld repsired to the scene of the
accident. siSualled to the approaching train
to stop, and after delay Of about an hour,
put The track in condition for its passage
TRomuch credit cannot be attached to Messrs.
Sappington and Young for their promptness
in this emergency. and we have no doubt but
that the railroad company will reward them
for their action. The fire is supposed to have
been communicated to the timbers from the
fre>box of the midnight freight train
'eTHE DEVELOPMENT OF MINERALs"-
The last Free Press does gross injustice to us
In its article under the above caption, throw
ing out the Inference that the 'note of warns
ing" copied into the last Spirit was intended
to reflect upon certain enterprising gentlemen
engaged in mining interests in this county
The article in question was simply published
to warn our people against mere adventurers-
30 that they might guard against such and
that instead of our minerals lying dormant
and unproductive they might pass into the
hands of bona fife apitalists-without any
reference whatever to worthy gentlemen who
have already embarked in business here. IF
the Free Press had uttered words of cncour-
agement to taese enterprises in their weak
mesa and inciPiency-as the Spirit has done
instead of lis unenviable course OF running
with the fox and holding with the hounds"
the remarks in its last issue would come with
a better grace from that Journal. The article
N that paper is simply in consonance with it's
past course of using every occasion to In
eratiate itself into popularity with popular
movements by attempting I" cast slurs upon
the Spirit, and as such will doutticss be so
regarded by the reading public.
