NEWhhHt Juue
We had the privilege of examining a most
beautiful upper and lower set of artificial teeth
put up Of an entirely new material by DR.. E. W.
Haines, of this town. This material, the Doctor
says, he thinks far exceeds in ightness
strength, natural appearance and beauty Of flu
ish, any or all other kinds of artificial tooth
work he has ever seen. Tho work is certainly
splendid and needs but to be seen to be admired.
The DR.. being one of our citizens, it gives us
pleasure to note the above.

IsaiIrOad Accident.

A W. x II. TRAIN RUNS OVER cow-PBovIDESTIAL
ESCAPE OF THE PASSENGERS.
On Thurs lay last, says the Reading Eagle, as
the train due here at II A. NJ, on the W. d H..
II. Il. WAS passing Naomi station, four miles below
Reading opposite Neversink station, COW be
longing to John Clouser, residing about half a
mile below. suddenly came out from behind a
hedge fence, and got under the tank, the engine
running backward at that point. The tank
weeels we're raised off the rails, but after pass
ing over the COW they dropped on the track
again. AS the cow-ca.cher passed over the AMI
NAL, forcing her through space not more than
nine inches high, the blood and fragments
flew all over the engine. The engine le-
mained on the track, but the two
gondoa cars next to it We're bro
ken to pieces. Next was the Central Express
Companys car, the trucks of which were broken
to fragments and the car heeied far over. The
smoking and baggage car was wrecked, and tne
front truck was broken and thrown of the track.
The ties were pushed out of place, and the track
raised about six inches on one side. Next and
last was the ladies' car, the front truck of which
passed safely over the cow the remains OF which
were wedged between the wheels OF the hlnd
truck. The obstruction by this time had stopped
the train. There were many passengers, some
OF them ladies', in the car who were consider
ably frightened. Had the car run ten feet fur-
ther the results might have been disastrous.

The LASDENBERaER EsrATE,-On Saturday
last in the U. 8. Circuit Court, at Philadelphia,
Peter Mccall, who WAS some months ago ap-
pointed master in the matter Of Martin Landen-
berger vs. his creditors, to make certain in
quiries, reports that the instrument Of Novem-
Der 10, 1873, was not mortgage, but WAS an as
signment for the benefit of all the creditors, and
that the n-assenting and individual creditors
are to be first paid out Of the proceeds Of Martin
Landenberger's individual property. The mas
ter reports further that Judgment creditors who
had obtained Judgment for claims against the
firm or its members are entitled to priority of
payment, and that the partnership creditors had
priority of payment out of the proceeds of part
nership property, and the separate creditors had
separate estate Of the co-partners. The sale is
in progress, to-day, under the direction of the

ACTION OF THE TWO coMpANIEs-CoNsoLIDATI
EFFECTED BY THE ALMosT UNANIMOUS VOTE OF
THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE FORMER, AND by THE
LATTER WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
At Coatesyille, yesterday afternoon, meeting
OF the stockholders of the Wilmington 4 Read
ing r. II. WAS held, to vote upon the action OF
the Directors in consolidating that road with
the Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York Il. r.
The vote was almost unanimous in favor Of con-
soidation there being but fifty votes against it
out of S,9lG, the whole number cast On Satur-
day meeting Of the stockholders Of the Bati-
more, Philadelphia IL New York Co. was held in
Philadelphia, and the action Of the Directors Of
that corporation also endorsed unanimously.
As a condition Of the consolidation the Boards
Of Directors Of the two roads are united, and it
is further stipulated that by the payment by the
Wilmington Reading Co. Of a sum approxima-
ting $500, 900, 1t may obtain sole control Of both
roads.
James @. A ken pre- idsd at the Coateaville
meeting, and William Preston and William
Bright acted as tellers. There was present at
the meeting second mortgage bondholder, who
represented shares to the extent Of several hum
dred Thousand dollars, and who, himself is un-
derHtood TO have put into the road about $780,
900 in cash, who seemed deeply to deplore the
present management and in the speech which he
made declared his ability to direct better poll
cy himself although plain farmer. He thought
the road should pass into the hands of tho Sec
ond mortgage bondholders, and as one Of them
he expressed his readiness to undertake the
management Of the.road and to guarantee to the
first bondholders their interest by entering good
security therefor. We have been unable to
learn the name of this gentleman, but believe
he Is lust the man the first bondholders have
been looking for
No clearer idea OF what is to be the outcome
of the consolidation was given than the sur
Musings Of the newspapers, heretofore printed,
those who were in a position to know being very
reticent. Hope, however, was held out to the
stockholders, the assurance being given that
the road ON the resent condition was bankrupt,
while some good may come out of the consolida-
tiOn of the two companies.

The Postal Quarrel.

NO INTERRUPTION IN THE MAILS AT NooN-THE
POSTAL CLERK PREPARING FOR AN EMERGENCY
At latest accounts President Scott remained
firm in his determination to refuse to receive
the BALTIC. & Ohio Company's mail on his road at
Philadelphia. Yesterday President Garrett
held grotraeted interview with Post Post,
orally understood to have been that in the
event Of the inability Of Mr. Garrett to fulfill his
contract the Government would have to cancel
it and let it out to the Pennsylvania Company.
President Garrett is represented as hav-
his suit for protection from the
Government, and the Washington Star re-
ports that his blows on the Postmaste Generals
desk could be plainly heard from the hall. and
several gentlemen remarked that Colonel Burn
side would be called upon tomorrow to furnish
4 new desk for the Governor.
The Philadelphia Times, of this morning, con-
trary to the general report telegraphed from
Warrington, says upon the authority Of Mr..
Strickland Kneass, of the Pennsylvania II. r.
Co.. that the original intention of the company
would be adhered to, that the mails would be
transferred, commencing, this morning, to the
cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad, without caus-
ing interruption, and that the Postmaster Cen
eral had been notified to that effect.
Attached to the express train North, to-day,
Was P. w. i B. postal car, but it came from
over the Baltimore 4 Ohio r. r., and WAS run
in fulfllment of the B. & o. contract. This car,
however, was not put on as q ruse to intimidate
Mr.. Scott, but was the regular trip of this car
under the joint arrangement Of the Balto
4 Ohio and p. W. & B. companies. The BALTIC.
d Ohio postal car was at the other end and
its return, could not. of course be refused. The
postal clerk, Mr.. W. Fl. Eder, in charge Of the
car North, says he received no instructions on
leaving Washington, except to notify the Post
Office Department in case of q refusal by the
Penna. Co., to transport the.mail.
over its road. He had, however, prepared for
any emergency, and on the arrival Of the train
at Wilmington he had everything packed up
ready for tranefer il such proceeding became
necessary.
