STREET CAR ACCIDENT.-About noon
Thursday quite an accident occurred on
the line of the Street Railway, by which
one or two passengers were injured, and
several badly frightened. As the car Of
driver McClaSkey was passing the Baltl-
more and Ohio railroad crossing in the
sth ward, it collided with train COM
posed Of freight and fiat cars, doing the
damage above indicated, and injuring
the car itself considerably. 1t is claimed
that the engineer of the locomotive did
not give proper warning as he passed
the crossing, nor was the watchman en-
ployed 10y the 3. X 0. Company at hls
place to give the necessary signals. We
do not know the exact truth of this
statement but evidently somebody was
to blame Strange to say, the horses be-
came detached from the car in some
manner and escaped unhurt, though the
front platform was well nigh demolished.
1t was exceedingly fortunate that the ac-
cident WAS not more serious.

A Cat whips a Eagle.

Cured at farm on the bay shore OF
Kent county, Maryland. A young me-
dium-sized cat was treading lelsurely
along III potatoe patch, when large
full-grown eagle swooped down, and,
catching her in his talons, bore her up.
Pussy wriggled and mewed piteously
for some moments, but suddenly SEEM
ing imbued with courage, she bega a
determined effort TO obtain firm
hold on her oppressor. So great were
her struggles that the eagle was unable
to fly longer, and kept up continuous
Tapping Of its wings to keep aloft. After
much exertion the cat succeeded in its
object, and obtained a firm grasp with
her claws on the breast of the eagle,
which made every possible endeavor to
free itself in vain. 1t tapped its wings,
shook its body, and appeared to heartily
regret having meddled with pussy In
her peaceful ways. Finally, as ii in de-
SPAR and exhaustion. it spread its
broad wings and fell slowly to the bay,
over which the struggle had been going
on. Immediately upon touching the
water the cat loosened her hold and
swan boldly ashore, while the eagle
upon being freed Of his troublesome bur-
den, shot upward and sped rapid ly
