the following which he saw and learned from
other persons who were on the spot soon at
Ter the accident occurred. He says the cause of
the accident was owing to a freigh. train go
ing West which ran into another freight train,
throwing the Caboose on the track of the
Cincinnati Express going East. Tho en-
ployees on freight trains had not time to give
notice to tie then approaching Gin. Elk train,
which ran into the wreck of the freight train,
throwing the engine and several of the cars

strange only one man lost his life, the en-
gineer who was caught in the Engine and
drowned in Canal. y child near the bank of
shs Canal was picked up with no injury. All
the passengers escaped, several reported to
havo received very Slight bruises. The mail
agent, fireman and several employees were re
ported to have received some slight injuries,
but none of a serious character. Fow run
offs can compare with such a general smash
up of cars aud engine-and scarcely any with
such q small loss of life. \ train was prompt
~ sent to the scene of the smash up which
conveyed the passengers, baggage and mail to
Baltimore. &c.

How the Feninns Escape 1.

Thomas Henry, one of the Fenians
who escaped from New South Wales in
the Catalpha being interviewed told the
following story:
We were expecting for about two
wears that We would be rescued from
prison. We always kept on the alert for
a movement of any kind which could be
turned to our advantage. We were
notified of the sailing of the Catalpha,
and expected her in March, but we did
not hear of her arrival until few days
before the 18th of April, the day on
which we effected our purpose. After
breakfast on the 18th, about $50
O'Clock, we left the prison gates unob-
served and entered carriages provided
for US. Our party numbered eleven. in
GLIDING outsiders, who kept in our front
and rear to look out for enemies. We
reached Buckingham at 1l:3O A. NJ,
where a whale boat Of the Catalpha
was lying, and got on board. During
the journey by land we were not mo-
Tested, though we met several persons.
When we were two and halt miles
from the shore the police came up and
captured our horses and carriages which
we had left on the beach. we had great
trouble in finding the Catalpha, and the
police got boat and were searching for
US. A storm arose and blew us out to
sea, and our provisions were destroyed
and we were out all night, all wet
through and in deplorable condition.
When daylight broke We saw the Catal-
pha and made for her. When about
seven miles from her we saw the colon
ial steamer Georgette and police cut
ter searching for US. but they could not
see us, owing to the rough cross seas.
The police kept the Catalpha in sight,
while the steamer went to land. We
were then twenty miles from land and
near Rockingham and rowed with ell
strength to the bark. At this time tho
Catalpha and police had discovered us,
but we headed the police cutter and
reached the Catalpha first and scranl-
bled on board. The crew of the bark
gave cheer and We rushed over to the
other side of the deck and drew our
revolvels and presented them at the
heads of the seven men in the police
boat. The steamer Georgette was
by the Government Off
ciais to follow US. The bark could not
go to sea that night, RS the wind was
dead ahead Next morning the Geog
cite bore down on us and demanded |
that the captain of the Cataipha give up |
the prisoners. The latter refused and |
the Georsetts sailed for shore. -Four !
thousand dollars have been raised here |
for the relief Of the prisoners.

THE CONVENTION.

We have time and space for but one
word anent tho Convention. 1t meets
at an suspicious time, and under fav-
oring circumstances. 1t has most inn
portant work 10 do. The three impor-
tant things which it must accomplish
are:
First. The selection of the very best
possible man for Justice OF the Su-
preme Court.
Second. A judicious wise and heal
ing settlement of the question of noun
mating a Congressman. The party
may be greatly strengthened or weak
ened by what is 10 be done. We trust
that the wisest councils may prevail.
As the matter stands, and as the tenn
per Of the Convention is, We forbear
any preference Of names.
Third. The handling of the very
delicate and difficult question of the
Bullion Tax. Hadn't it much better
be left where it belongs, namely, with
the various county conventions? We
believe it had.
The Convention will doubtless per-
feet its labors to-day. We trust and
believe that what is done will inure to
the benefit Of the party and the
strengthening of its forces in all parts
Of the State.
