MANCHEsTER AND VICINITY.

Accident on Belle Isle-A Locomotive
Falls Through the Irestte- Work.-Yester-
day morning between 10 and IL o'clock the
locomotive used on the Richmond and Dan-
vile railroad. for hauling granite, coal, and
other material from Coalfeld 10 Rockets,
fell through the trestIe on Belle Isle be-
tween the nail-iactory and the pudding
mills. Several persons near by narrowly
escaped injury. ........... -..--.s. ..,.
There were no cars attached to the loco
motive, and it was running very slowly
when the accident occurred. A. G.. Gibbs,
the engineer, and Josh. Kendall, fireman,
were the only persons on the engine at the
time. The engineer escaped unburt, but
the fireman received very painful burns and
bruises on his side and arm by being thrown
against the furnace. /. ....>
Workmen were engaged at the time In
repairing the trestle, and had completed all
that part except the spans at the place
where the locomotive fell through. Two Of
the w0rkmen were at work few feet from
the spot, and barely escaped being caught
beneath the falling trestle besides being
terribly frightened. The noise produced
by the heavy crash was tremendous, and
was heard in the mills above the
noise of the machines. aud caused
general excitement among the operatives.
The tender was left standing on the track.
The front end OF the locomotive stuck
firmly in the ground about two feet from
the edge Of the mill-race. The other end
stood some ten or twelve feet In the air,
supported by the pillars of the trestle.
Notwithstanding the dangerous positions
the engineer occupied before attempting to
escape, he put out the fire in, the furnace
and turned off the steam from the boiler,
thus averting an explosion. Had the loco
motive. fallen few moments earlier 1t
would have gone into the mll-race below,
a distance Of thirty feet, and the result
would no doubt have been quite serious.

The STATE FAIR-VIsIToRs FROM KEN.
TUCKY.-C Colonel W. G. Knight, secretary OF
the State Agricultural Society, says that the
prospects OF the Fair are more than usually
encouraging. The correspondence OF bis Of
fee indicates it from all directions. All the
railroads leading to the city will run cheap
excursion trains, which will greatly add to
the tbrong Of visitors. The Colonel was
Yesterday morning in receipt OF the Mays
vile (Ky.) Bulletin OF the 2lst, and the
Lexington (Ky.) Daily Transcript of the
22d, which state that excursions to the
Fair have been arranged by, Major n. H.
Hotchkiss, of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
from both OF those points. .'.-. '.''.
The Transcript says: "The unprece-
:dented low rates for ticket to Richmond
and return will be but $3.50. A great
many will 90 to see the old mother State
the land OF their ancestors-soon to be
united to our State, her daughter, by the
strong ties OF commerce. A catalogue OF
the Richmond Fair can be seen at this Of
ice." ...e .,..... .., - .r.f&1' -
Colonel Knight also has notice from sew.
eral Kentucky stock-traders that they will
have their stock onseXbibition at our Fair.
Our own people, of every class and oc-
cupation, will no doubt be awakened to
