RAILROAD ACCIDEET.-The passenger
train over the Central Ohio division of
the B. & o. railroad, due at Bellaire at
S:5OA. NJ. meet with an unavoidable ac-
cidcnt, on Saturday morning, the particu-
lars of which are as follows; As the
train was passing over the second bridge
this side of Cambridge, the track spread
letting the Pullman sleeping car on the
bridge, breaking it down. The car was
prccipitated down into the bed of the
creek. distance of sixteen feet
Fortunately there were only six person
in the car, only four of whom were pas
sengcrs, the ether two being the con-
ductor and porter. Of the passengers,
j. &. johnson, of Toledo, Ohio, received
several severe Commissions; L. Quincy
Hall, of Baltimore, was badly cut about
the head, though the wound is not at all
serious; and II Mrs DR.. Andres, of Nc
Gregor, Iowa, WAS injured about the
back and head The conductor and por-
ter were more or less injured, but not all
serious.
1t was very lucky thing that the
sleeper contained so few passengers,
and that it was the last car instead of the
first that went down. The Company, or
those in charge of the train, are in no way
responsible for the accident, as it was
caused by II circumstance that was beyond
their power 70 control. 1t was very fortu-
nate that the accident resulted in no loss
of life and IN so little injury.
In consequence of the bridge being
down, all the trains over that road were
delayed yesterday.

quite an interesting episode occurred in
the Chapline Street NJ. f. Sunday School.

Mr.. Thompson, the PASTOR stepped for
ward and, on behalf of the school, pre-
scented Rev. j. \. Lancaster, its Supcrin-
tendent, with handsome silver ice
pitcher and goblets. Mr. Lancaster re-
sponded fselingly and appropriately, al
luding 10 his long connection with the
school in the various relations of scholar,
teucher, and Superintendent. Altogether
the occasion was very interesting one'
and its memories will be sacred. The
gift was purchased at the popular jewel
~ store of j. A. Lash.

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
On Saturday afternoon, Henry o. OFT
ESQ, of the firm OF OFT, Hall & Co.,
having business with the Steamer K. K.
Hudson, attempted to board her while
laying slong the side of some oil bargeS
at the lower part of the city wharf. In
jumping from the barge to the steamers
he missed his footing and fell in the
river, but was SO fortunate rs to catch
rope hanging from the steamer, when
his calls for help soon brought him assist
.ncc and he was rescued from his peril
GUS position. His escape, considering
the intense GOODNESS of the water,-which
was sufficient TO deprive of all power
necessary in the efforts to save himself
was Surprising indeed. He was taken
aboard the boat, where all care was
taken of him incidental to such Il mis-
hap. ard il is to be hoped that nothing
serious may result from this cold bath,
while we congratulate him upon his for
tunate escape.
