A Conductors Singular Mistake.

Conductor Herkins' train from New
York Saturday evening was delayed
half an hour bya singular accident.
Our readers may remember our ac-
count, a year ago. of the Harlem con-
ductor whose hat blew out of the bag
gage-car door, and who reached for it
SO eagerly that he followed it, and was
so injured by the fall as to be laid up
for several months. The same con-
ductor, Budlong, was collecting fares
Saturday in the tunnel on the train
which leaves the depot on the Harlem
Road at 2:2O p. m. Passing through
the last car, he walked on, thinking he
had another car to visit, and walked
right off the end of his train, falling on
the track. It is very dark in the tun-
mel, and the rolling smoke made it i'm
possible to SEQ that there. was not an
other car. The engineer soon discQv-
cred that Budlong was missing. He
telegraphed back to the depot, and Con-
ductor Herkins' train was held back, so
that it might not run over Budlongs 8
body. An engine was sent up through
the tunnel to look for it, and it was
found on the track. Budlong was un-

A Fatal Drop.

A passenger from Kingstree, on the
line of the Northeastern Railroad, gives
the details of a frightful accident which
occurred at that place on Wednesday
last. A travelling show company had
stopped at the town for the purpose of
relieving the natives of all their spare
change, and in order more successfully
to carry out this praiseworthy object
had with them a balloon, by means of
which one of the company ascended
into the air and went through certain
gymnastic performances.
This exhibition was free, of course,
and drew an immense crowd. When
the hour for the balloon ascension ar
rived, the town and surrounding coun-
try were alive with the natives, mostly
negroes, who, never having seen q bal
loon before, looked upon the whole
proceeding with mixture of awe and
curiosity. By dint of persuasion two
negroes consented to hold the ropes of
the balloon while it was being inflated
with hot air. When everything was in
readiness man in pair of red draw
ers and a red shirt same out and was
cheered Justify. The balloon swayed
violently to and fro, and the aeronaut
took his seat upon small bar which
dangled from the air ship, and gave
the order to cast loose. The negroes
loosed their holds upon the ropes, and
the balloon shot upward, like an arrow
from bow. TO the CONSERVATION of
the crowd, however, it was seen that
one of the negroes had become entan-
gled in the ropes, and was being borne
aloft with frightful rapidity. With q
wonderful presence of mind, the un-
fortunate negro grasped the rope with
his hands, and, after disengaging his
feet from the ropes, climbed up to the
bar on which sat the man in red. In
stead, however, of remaining upon this
comparatively secure perch, he let go
his hold and began sliding down the
rope again, and upon reaching the end
he let 60 entirely, and was dashed to
the earth, having fallen through space
of sixty feet. The crowd were so COM
pletely awe-stricken that not one would
dare approach the prostrate man. After
some little time, however, several gen
tlemen who were near by went up to
the negro and found him bleeding pro-
fusely from the mouth and apparently
unconscious. At the last accounts the
man was still alive. but it is hardly
possible for him to recover. The aero
naut succeeded in making safe land
