EIGHTH TRIP TO NIAGARA FALIs-"Doc" SIM
MONS OLD ENGINE CROSSING NEW HAMBURG
CREEK.
The eighth trip of the HERALD lightning express train
on Sunday over the Hudson River and New York Cen
trial railroads between New York and Niagara Falls,
exciting and interesting any Of the preceding
The train LEFT the Forty depot at past
two NJ, arriving at Poughkeepse at minutes past
four A. NJ and at Albany quarter six A. NJ Engine
No 81, Henry Mugan engineer, brought the train TO
Poughkeepsie and engine No. 20 A. Irish, engineer,
thence to the State capital Hutchinson with engine
No 346, took charge from Albany TO Syracuse, and
made the distance in three hours and minutes and
Wood with the now famous '1l0 carried the train
safely into Buffalo ahead Of time The most interesting
feature Of the trip the engine that left the Grand
Central depot for Poughkeepsc 1t was the one in
which poor DOG Simmons met his fate at New Ham
burg Creek on the night of February g. 1871 Having
been 1shed out'of the waters into which it plunged
on that fatal night, it was sent TO the
repair yard, thoroughly overhauled, and it
is now considered one of the great engines
of the road. The goodhumored Celtic counenance of
Henry Mulligan flushed with pleasure when he re.
ceived the congratulations and compliments Of the pas
sengers for his remarkably fast to Poughkcepse
There were over $50 passengers the train after 1t left
Albany, and the principal theme of conversation
the HERALD train All united in expressions of wonder
and admiration regarding the enterprise that placed
such train the road and illustrated rapid transit in
the most effective The trip OF the HERALD
train will be the last for the present season. Few
of experienced railroad travellers can form an
idea Of the excitement of speeding along at sixty miles
hour Dickens description of such ride may well
be quoted here:-
'Breasting the wind and light, the shower and SUM-
shine away and still away, it rolls and roars fierce

massive bridges crossing up above, fall like beam Of
shadow an inch broad upon the eye and then lost

roads and paths that look deserted, small and insig

indomitable monster, Deathl
''Away, with Shrek and roar and a rattle pungng
down into the earth again and working in such
storm Of energy and perseverance, that amidst the
darkness and whrlwind the motion reversed and
to tend furously backward until ray Of light upon the

stream. Away more into the day and through the
day, with shri yell of exultaon, roaring rafting,

There are no disturbances in this State
and no obstruction to the execution of
the laws. There has been IN unexpect-
ed conflict at a political meeting, and
some subsequent disturbances, but every
thing is quiet now. The Governors call

pretend there is any insurrection against
the State laws as required by the United
States statutes of 1875, page 1893. Peace
