in this CITY at ten O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, met with an accident at point be-

stealing his passage, is reported to have
been killed, while two others are said to
have been 60 badly mangled that their re-
covery is hopeless. As soon as the news of
the disaster was received the officers Of
the road sent DR.. w. G. Austin up on an
extra train to attend to the wounded.
The report was generally circulated that
the train would arrive here at hslfpast
eight last evening, and hundreds of people
gathered at the depot and waited there
until after midnight.
At one O'Clock this morning the train had
not arrived. and it was impossible to obtain
any further particulars Of the accident,
cave what is given above, except that ten
passengers we're reported to be more or less
severely hurt. All who were injured were

The Republicans of the Ninth Ward had
an enthusiastic meeting Tuesday evening.
Spirited addresses were made by Major
William d. Green and Captain Peter
Joseph.

auxiliary to the central club, will meet

efforts are being made to convince some of
the colored voters Of that ward that their
best friends are the nominees on the Demo

them were induced to attend meeting of
the unterrified, and they expressed them
selves fully satisfied with the tenor Of the
speeches of the reform Democracy, and
have NO desire for further information from
that house.

and took the key from the sEerlft's wife,
Mrs. William Leak, and unlocked the door;
but the prisoner had the door bolted on the
inside in such q manner that they could not

ne calling piteously at every step for help,
and crying murder, some twenty-five men
running with him, and Others keeping back
part of the crowd. In some manner his
hands got loose, and he slipped the rope
over his head and started across the prairie
in the dark, and made his escape from the
crowd. He went up in the west part OF the
city and crawled into a barn belonging to
q. w. Nimack and staid there until A. NJ,
when Mr. Nimack told the officers of his
whereabouts and they went and recsptured
him. He Is now in jail again, and guarded
by some forty of our best citizens,
and they propose to protect him
until he can be tried by our court in Feb
ruary and receive his just sentence, which
will be at least ten years in our state peni-
Tertiary. There is i'll strong excitement
amongst the people, but, since their failure
last night, they feel a little timd in making
another such attempt at business that
Is entirely new to them. The prisoner re-
