OF PEARLS

Glittering through coral lips is certainly a
pleasing object: but a row Of discolored, be-
specked teeth in any mouth is a grievous
drawback; add to this that such q Get ofteeth
is usually accompanied by impure breath
aud one can scarcely imagine anything more
Objectionable. SOzODONT, the great pu.
ritter of the breath and whitener ofthe teeth
obviates this state Of the mouth, completely
rescuing its dental occupants from destruct
ion, and counteracting the influence upon tn,
enamel Of acid sccretions in the mouth.

read Conaimisston Into The Cause Of the
Recent Accident.
Boston, Mas, Oct. 1.-THE evidence
taken in the investigation by the railroad
commissioners into the causes of the late
accident on the Old Colony railroad goes to
show that, while Hurlburt, the engineer OF
the freight train, was crossing the inward
track with HIS locomotive and five cars, he
discovered an excursion tram approaching
at great speed. He put on steam and reach
ed the outward track in safety, at the same
time swinging q red lantern as . warning Of
danger to the engineer of the excursion
train. The lantern was seen by Westeate.
the engineer of the Easton, who give the
signal for down brakes" AT this moment
Hartwell, the conductor of the freight train.
was running to throw the switch of the side
track back to the main line. The switch
over which the five empty freight cars had
passed had been left open after they passed,
but the switch being known as. the "pat-
ent safety" it was thrown back into its proper
place, the flange of the forward wheels of the
trstlocomotive touching. So far as learned,
the evidence went to show that. at the mo.
meut the excursion train reached the fret
switch, Hartwell was in the act Of adjusting
the..other switch, and had it just half over
when the tram reached the Hange of the
wheels of the engines and struck square on
the end Of the straight rail where the switch
should have Joined, and both engines jump
ed the track, followed by a baggage car, the
English coach, and several of the succeed
ing cars. Hartwell, who had hold of the
bar of the switch at the moment the engine
struck the disconnected rail, was thrown
violently and some distance into q field close
by.
On Thursday evening the scene of the ac-
cident was visited by the railroad commits
%sioners, in company with President Choate
and Superintendent Kendrick, with a view
of fully comprehending the slate of affairs
at the lime of the accident. A locomotive
was run over the switch to indicate the pas
sage of the engine and the five freight cars
from the siding, and the spot was indicated
just where Hurlburt swung the red lantern
to warn the doomed train. The misplaced
switch was then placed just half over, and
showed the red and white light as it did on
the night of the accident, and which was
seen by Westgate when he was almost on it
Attorney General Train, acting upon the
evidence taken by the board Of Railroad
Commissioners in an investigation into the
cause of the accident on the Old Colony road
caused the arrest of Charles E. Hartwell
conductor of the freight train, who will bt
held for examination on the charge of man
slaughter.

THE CLEANLINESS OF THE CITY
[From Yesterdays Post ]

[From Yesterdays Post
The police authorities say that they are making
every effort to keep the city streets in as clean
condition possible. and they are doubtless putting
forth more than their usual efforts. But persons who
take special pains can find many places IN which the
abors OF the cleaners needed. In time like this
the duty Of the authorities Is imperative only
make the city clean, but TO keep 1t So In the tenc
Mt districts garbage accumulales very rapidly,
unless tho cleaners make frequent vistatous decay
ing hith accumulates. The HERALD asserts that
ths carts sill negisc; 10 remove tue sreot sweepings
soon They gathered into heaps. This Is
an old FAULT OF tho street Cleaning Bureau, ana II
should not be allowed to c0ulinue. II is perl aps
batter to leave The dirt spread out IL tho streets,
where II dry, than accumulate 1t in touched
heaps, where II only decays aud gives out noxious
gases
Some streets are badly paved that they cannot
be kept cloan. An example Of this Vescy street,
between Grssnwl ch and West streets, where u runs
by Washington Market. Tue pavement there Is Iull
OF holes and 10 uneven, and the gu tiers do not
allow tho water 10 run OIL readily. II Tho Commits
sionor OF Pubic Works has any money available for
repair Ing pavements he should lose time In setting
men TO work on these blocks
the very warm weather with which September
opens makes incumbent ON authorizes 10 take
every prccauton to preserve the GUYS health mo
night OF the LIST OF September 1877 Inc coolest OF
the warm season, and the thermometer stood at 20
degrees at tho DAY following. Yesterday tie
thermometer stood at 81 dogress at the same hour
VIII continue very long, but cannot expect fiost
Tor several weeks, anu until frost comes there is no
safety In relaxing any precautions which may render
US more secure ngai nst the pestilence.
