were piled on the engine, and three other coaches
were thrown from the rails. Three Passenger.

The disaster caused by a misplaced switch.
The switch was turned to throw the train of the
track, and plugged with a stick, and the switch
board was turned TO show the green light "all
right" and checked firmly in place.
The train preceding the wrecked one for Phil
adephis passed all right A minutes before. The
mischief was done between ten minutes past SIX
and seven in the evening.
The particulars Of the occurrence are as fol-
lows:
A passenger train left this city at 6 As D. m with
{. G. Williams, master mechanic of Communipaw
engineer, and X. j. Swsckhammer, master of
bridges, as fireman and travelled at medium rate
of speed until ii arrived at switch near Evons,

The case of William II. Morrill, of Benton,
taigned before the court for the horrible crime of
incest. stands among those for which it is hard to
account except upon the theory of total depraviy'
Morrill, is about As year. of age, and the subject of
his crime, his daughter is fifteen. The crime is
alleged to have been committed on the 10th Of
July. There are indications that the same thing
was attempted previous to tn is time. He tried to
repeat the crime the second time, when the child,
to escape from him, left her miserable home, and
went to Clinton. where she made a complaint
against her inhuman father which led to his ar
rest and preliminary examination. She says that
her father had hreatend her life if she dared to
mention the transaction to any one. The only
way she knew of to get out from under his control
was to leave home, and enter the complaint which
she has Morrill, S appearance is certainly against
him. One would get the impression on looking
at him that he belonged to class Of creatures
lower than the brutes.

They were known to be verv we'll to do, and to
have some $4,000 invested besides the farm on
winch they lived, valued at $1,000, but none sup
posed they had anything of much value about
their house. Eunice Libby died about two months
since and Lucy recently. The latter, just before
her death, called sister to her, Mrs. Eli Edg-
comb, and informed her where a large amount Of
gold, silver and bank notes were secreted Sewed
up in a package, and hidden beneath the attic
floor was found gold and silver to the amount of
