CARS DETAINED.-By last evening s
Chronicle we learn that the passengers
who arrived by yesterday S train, which
was three hours behind time, report thai
the delay was occasioned by an accident
three miles east Of Cisco, which might
have proved very serious. Shortly before
midnight huge bowlder, weighing sew
eral tons was loosened by the rain and
snow and rolled down the embankm ent,
crashing through the tinbers of the
snow-shed, breaking rail, and finally
lodging in the middle of the track. The
train was stopped i'll time and the Sec
ton men at Cisco sent for. These, with
the assistance of the train hands, sue
ceeded after an hour and half of labor
in sledging the rock to pieces and repair
ing the rail. There was good deal of
excitement among thu passengers.
A SOLITARY HoRsEMAN who needed the
corrective experience of an arrest ard an
official acquaintance with Judge With
erell galloped his horse at speed
beyond the limits as he coursed along
Carson street last night Just after dark.
Maybe he was going for the Doctor.
Lucky for him if he didn't find Doctor
Butts.
The PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBITION now
going on developed surprising pro-
ficiency among the pupils, evincing a
high order of teaching talent on the
part of those having control Of the
school. We expect to have a report of
what transpires at the school from this
on to the end Of the exhibition.
TRE HEBREW BENEVOLENT SOCIETY of
Carson has elected the following officers
for the ensuing year: President, B.
Harris; Vice President, A. Bergman; Sec
rotary, r. Lowenstein; Treasurer, Her

Di<grlceiul.

TIE House OF the General Assem-
Llv of Louisiana, preferred articles OF
imucachmcnt against Auditor Clinton
for maicasancc in Office, the charge
being based on the report Of a com-
mit:ce appointed by that body TO
investigate the affairs of that Office.
Now, we do not know whether Clinton
is guilty or not, but we have every
reason To believe he is, for certainly
no set Of men would bring such grave
charges against a man without reason.
But whether he is guilty or not does
not matter. lie rests under the
grave charge Of maiicasancc in office,
and has no business in discharge OF
the duties of the Office until his in
nocence is proven. No men Of sense
would say he had. Therefore, the
men claiming to be the Senator's of
this State farc acted shame!ulIy dis
graceful in refusing to suspend him
from Office until he was tried that is
the eighteen who voted against it
have, and their names should he held
up to the scorn and contempt Of all
honest men in the State, either as vile
traitors or fools.

Fraud on the State.

According TO the Bulletin the Board
Of Audit Of this State, hatched out
of the brain Of the rabblc yclept the
Legislature, has favorabiy passed
upon a claim Cor furty-two thousand
dollars, twice rejected a. Fraudulent
by the Supreme Court Tins claim
is made by Frank Mercy, our Repre-
sentative in Congress, for cleaning
out Bayou Bartholomew. The
original contract it seems was for one
hundred and eighteen thousand dol
lars. Now, We are curious To know
if Mr.. Mercy ever did that amount
o. work on the Bayou Bartholomew (:
and certainly our neighbours Of More
house can give Us the information.
If he is irving to swindlc The State
out Of that amour, Of money his con-
s,ilucnts ought to know it, and 1t he
is Justly entitled 10 the money they
QUILT also to know it. If he Is III
noccnt of fraud we are perfectly vii
line TO defend him, and if guilty we
are equally as ready to condemn an"
expose him.

Horrible Accident.

Yesterday forenoon our citizens
were shocked by one Of the most dis
trcssing events it has ever been our
duty to record.
At half past eleven o'clock an eX-
plosion Ike tha, of a steam boiler a
long way of was heard from the drug
establishment of Messrs. Bogel &
Duringer, on Milan, about midway
between Market and Spring streets.
Persons in the adjoining stores ran in
and soon discovered Mr. Duringcr
lying upon the ground just in rear Of
the store frightfulIy manGlcd-thc
effect Of an explosion Of the soda
tank, which was severed into two
pieces. The spectacle was a pitible
one indeed. The bone Of the right
thigh was broken in two places, and
the flesh from knee to hip, was literal
ly torn to pieces, displaying most
CHASTITY wound. The right arm was
broken in three places, the bone pro-
truding and the flesh badly torn.
Very soon several physicians hurried
to the spot and proceeded 10 afford
what OF relief there was IN their
power Meantime large concourse
Of synpathising friends had gathered
in the store and on the banquet,c.
The unfortunate gentleman was
perfectly conscious and displayed re-
markable nerve. The wounded arm
only seemed to give him pain-doubt-
less the thigh was so completely
! paralyzcd tina; all sensation was dead
ened. A s,rctcher was procured and
the wounded man taken 10 his resi-
dencc
lie SAYS tha, in charging the tank
he usually has pressure of lG0
pounds to the square inch, and when
The explosion occurred the gauge only
indicated 100. His theory is tina,
some obstruction had prevented tht
proper action of the gauge, and that
really the pressure al the time must
have been over 200.
In conclusion we viii briefly state
) that Mr.. Duringcr is justly r. garde1
as one of our very best and mos
useful citizens, and UNIVERSAL,
cS;ccmed 10y all who kaow him. Iii,
lamcntab.c catastrophe has east ;
gloom over the entire community.
Since the above was in type ",
have been informed that the phvsi
clans entertain no hopes of recovery
aud it may be that the sufferer vii
he no more when this reaches the cy,
of the eadcr.-Sbrercpof Times.

"Nigger ShOOlers."

Alderman Young assembled the trib-
une In the city council last night, and
delivered powerful speech, full of elo-
quence and information, on the sub
ject of "Digger shooters" He held up
for the inspection of the astonished
left center curious war implement in
the shape of piece of brass wire,
sharpened at one end and ornamented
at the other with CORY colored tuft Of
worsted. This novel missile is known
in hoodlum circles Us "nigger Shoot
err" and is propelled on its errand of
destruction and torment of cats, hogs
and passers-by, with an India rubber
strap, affixed to piece of wood. He
reported that the urchin element of
his neighborhOod had been vigorously
Smelling his house with these danger
GUS Drojectiles, and hadn't left pane
of glass In it. The "nigger shooter"
brigade must be put down, or the time
of our citizens will be taken up princi-
pally in going for the glazier and ex-
tracing red-headed brass arrows from
the calves Of their legs and the bodies
Of cats, dogs, hogs and other sufferers.

Mr. Allen made short but very feel

After u few moments of social chat

Justice.
Another hour of pleasant Christian
intercourse, then Gods blessing was
invoked by prayer, good nights were
breathed, and each wended their way
home, contented aud happy to have
thus shown their high esteem Of theiI
worthy pastor and his family. May he
live to see many returns Of his nata
day, and wear many such suits thread
bare in the cause he has espoused
May many souls be added to the crown
of his rejoicing ere this suit shall be
shorn OF any of its gloss, and may he
with all that little social band, rs well
as all his church and people, be gath
cred, ut last, on the ever green shores
of that better land, where all will be
clothed in the snowy white, blood
bought vestments that never wax old
