Realizing largely IN his investments, he
became one Of the wealthiest citizens,
while he at the same time attained repu-

been born, and every bright prospect in
life seemed attainable without effort to the
young couple. About this time a young
gambler, we'll known IN those days for his
success with cards, and remarkable for his
handsome exterior and pleasing address,
met Mime. Veniler at a bal nasg'se. Other
meetings followed, and the foolish woman
abandoned her luxurious home, her chill

Veniler, broken-down man, aged before
he was old, sold out his business interests
and disappeared. Some weeks later he
was discovered on the levee, wandering
up and down, homeless, and without q

by the sale of his property. He was
taken to mad house. where he remained
for twenty three years, and finally, when
former friends had forgotten him, and he
was no longer an object Of interest to the

and penniless, to live or die as chance be-

The Recent Railroad Horror in Penn
.. sylVania.

The accident on the North Pennsylvania
Railroad, on Wednesday night last, was a
most extraordinary one in many particu.
lars. Our correspondent, who had the
mis- <Ortune to be on the train, gives the fol.
lowing details of the accident:
The train left Philadelphia with a full
load of passengers, nearly all of them he.
ing Centennial visitors returning to their
homes. The train was composed of four
Pullman sleepers, four day coaches, smok-
ing-car and two baggage-cars, all drawn
by two engines. The coaches were all
filled, and the sleeping-cars nearly so,
perhaps twenty persons being in the car
wrecked. The train started little late
from Erie avenue, and at once reached a
high rate of speed, which was remarked
upon by the passengers, and not much en-
joyed by those in view of the rough and
crooked road. All went we'll enough until
about half past nine. The train had bare.
left Center Valley, station forty five
miles from Philadelphia, when the CORE
spondent, who was seated in the second
section from the front of the car, which
is directly over the trucks, observed sud.
den and peculiar motion and noise in the
gearing below the car, which created de-
cided uneasiness in his mind. It increased
gradually, and he mentioned it to the
porter, who had now commenced making
up the berths for the night; but he either
did not hear or affected not tc understand,
and moved away toward the reer; the at.
tention Of fellow-passenger was called
to the increasing noise and motion, and
