Railroad Accident.

JoHNsTowN, Feb. 14.-The fast line west
on the Pennsylvania railroad, which left
Philadelphia at 1855 p. M, Saturday, ran
into landslide, three quarters of mile
east Of Johnstown, Pa, throwing the en-
gine, baggage car, and two passenger cars
from the track. The wreck took are, and
the baggage and passenger cars were en-
tirely consumed. The remaining car; a
sleeper on the rear end of the train, was
saved by being pushed back by the passen-
gers and train hands.
One passenger, named Mrs. Flemming,
received very slight bruises, and Baggage
Master Abel YVES also slightly injured. All
the baggage and the southern mails were
saved, but the western mails were burned
up.
Two hundred feet of track were torn up
and both tracks badly blocked. Some Of
the rocks had to be blasted before they
could be removed from the track, owing to
their size. The tracks were cleared and all
the trains moving by Sunday noon.
The rules of the company require that a
track watchman shall 20 over each section
of the line ahead of all night express trains,
and in this instance the watchman passed
| the point where the accident occurred a
short time before the train was due, SO that
| the slide of earth and rocks must have fal
| len but few minutes before the train rar
into it. The accident occurred about 9
| quarter after elven o'clock Saturday night

BOAT TO SAVE STRUGGLING GIRL AND
IsLosT.
New York Herald.
While nobly endeavoring to save the life
of drowning woman yesterday Thomas
Wells, young Londoner, met his death.
The scene was at the South ferry pier, on
the New York side, and the time was half
past ten O'Clock, q. m. The ferry boat
Columbus was preparing to start on its
trip to Brooklyn, when a young woman,
careworn in appearance, hurried on board
and hastsned to the forward part Of the
the boat. A minute afterward she sprang
into the water. The excited cry of "woman
overheard" uttered by those who had wit
messed the act, soon brought all the passen-
gers to the spot. Ropes were quickly pro-
cured and thrown over and graphing hooks
were let down from several places. The
unfortunate woman rose to the surface,
struggled wildly and sunk again. Among
the passengers manipulating the ropes in
the effort to rescue the drowning woman
was Wells, who seeing hope fast receding,
determined upon different course. Divest
ing himself Of coat and hat he plunged into
the river. A strong tide carried him of q
short distance, and, to the horror of the
lockers of, he sunk. By this time one of
the graphing hooks, manipulated by officer
Ryan ofthe First precinct, had caught in
the woman's clothing, and few moments
later she was landed on the deck living but
unconscious. While some made efforts to
revive her others turned their attention to
the brave fellow battling with the waves.
The hooks were moved in all directions,
but the tide had carried him beyond their
reach, and he was not seen again. For
hours the ferry hands continued their
search, but unavailing]y.
The young woman lying on the deck wal
soon restored to consciousness and borne tc
the New street station house. There she
sufficiently recovered to enter into conver'
sation with Captain Petty, to whom she
told her history.
THE woMAN's HISTORY.
Her name, she said was Emily Anderson
and her age seventeen years. She had ar
rived in New York the night previons from
Philadelphia. Until recently she had beel
employed In the latter city as tatloress.
few weeks ago she lost her situation. Home
less and penniless she thought of the grea
metropolis az place where work could b
obtained, and she therefore took the trail
for here, paying out in 80 doing her las
dollar. ,.,.r.- --y,.
Yesterday morning she grew melanchol.
at her sad prospect and determined on end
ing her life, with the result given. She W
removed to the Chambers Street Hospita
and is now beyond danger.
Wells, who was young man of dns ap
pearance, twenty five years of age, came t.
this country from London, two weeks ago an
put up at No. "a West street. His previou
occupation is NOT known but he ,is sur
posed to have been clerk ib London and t
have come to New York In search of clerk
ship. He has two brothers residing at Nc
81 Marchmond street, London. mc-s.

Executive officers of the State, Mr.. johnson
also promptly volunteered his services IN
it's behalf on the ground, as stated in his
note to the editor, that the liberty and use
fulness of the press seemed to be impeEiled.
