Mr.. Joseph II. Boozer, of this city, is
making good progress in the canvass for the
Democratic nomination for State Senator
His friends are quito hopeful. This is about
the last chance for Democrat to be elected
Senator in this county, and somewhat doubt
full, perhaps, at that, SO we advise our friend
Boozer to rush to the front. In about three
years more, the Republicans propose to take
charge of Hunterdon in the interests of true
"reform," clean out the gang which has run
the county at enormous expense and fattened
on offices which if honestly filled would scarce
ly pay laborers' wages at the legal rates, and
otherwise correct the abuses which have crept
into the management of our county affairs.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT NEAR ToRREsDALE.
"A very serious accident occurred yesterday
Tuesday morning, on the Pennsylvania Rail
road near Torresdale, which, considering the
situation, turned out rather fortunate after
all. 1t appears that freight train bound
south had stopped on the siding near Torres
dale. The $3.50 A. NJ train from Philadelphia
came along, and just at that moment two cows
got in between the freight and the north
bound train. One of them got out of the way
and the other fell under the mail car. The
mail car was upset and thrown off the track
The baggage car fell over a six feet embank-
ment. The engineer, Mr.. George Vanarsdale,
seeing the situation of affairs, in order to pre-
vent his train from becoming a complete
wreck, with the cars piled one upon another +,
pulled the steam throttle, and by great force
attempted to bring the train to point beyond
the two bridges near by. He partially sue
ceeded, and would have entirely done so had
not the locomotive broke from it's coupling
AS it was, the cars ran by their own force a
distance Of 140 yards, and thus were saved
from general wreck and great loss of life
and property. The railroad men highly COM
mend the conduct of the engineer.
Two passenger cars were telescoped for two
or three feet. The mail car and Adams Ex-
press car were both smashed to pieces. Two
passenger cars were badly wrecked, and had
the ends, platforms and sides smashed in, but
none of the passengers received any serious
injury. There were few shocks and bruises.
Clement James, mail agent, was hurt about
the head and received some internal injuries.
He was carried to the Catholic convent. His
injuries are considered dangerous.
G. W. Hyde, through baggage master, was
hurt in the groin and hip.
A. e. Horner, mail agent, was severely
bruised about the body and had large cut
on the forehead.
The sleeping car conductor, Capt. A. A.
Herbert, was badly bruised about the body.
