Fell Through the Tressle Work.

About 10 o'clock last night James
Meacham, aged "a years, who resides
with his son-in-law, Samuel Curlett, at
Fifth and Tatnall streets, started to 20
to the house of his son Robert, who re-
sides in Browntown. The track of the
w. Il N. R. R. being the shortest cut,
he passed out that until he came to the
tressle-work, opposite East Liberty
street, when he missed his footing and
fell through. He was rendered uncon-
scious by the fall, and lay on the
ground underneath the track until
about four o'clock this morning, when
he was discovered by the Waterman of
the W. & N. R. R. A ssttse was procur-
ed and he was placed thereon and con.
veyed to the house Of Richard Register,
about two squares from where the acci-
dent occurred.
About eight o'clock he was placed in
a dearborn and taken to the residence
of his son-in-law. The emily injury he
sustained by the fall, SO far as We
could ascertain, was that he was con-
siderably bruised on the right side.
and he also complained Of his knee
painiug him very much. Mr.. Meach-
am is a strictly temperate man, using
no intoxicants of any kind, so that his
fall was purely an accidental one.

"HsAdln u. CnaMhlef'A Views ~
In an interview published by the
washington Star of yesterday, William
h. Cnandler gives his views upon the
political outlook. In references to the
national campaign of 1880, Mr.. Chapd-
Ter Expresses the belief that Tildsn
has the best chance for the Democratic
nomination. BE believes, however,
that Gen. Hancock would be a stronger
candidate than Tilden. Speaking Of
the Republican nomination, Mr.. Chand.
Ter said that Grant wonld not be the
nominee, for the reason that he could
not afford to belittle himself bv Joining
in general scramble for it. Unless
Grant had at least two-thirds of the
delegates pledged to hin, he would not
permit his name to be placed before tho
Convention.
Mr.. Chandler thinks Grant will not
have one-half the delegates, and,
therefore, will not permit his friends
to drag his name into a contest with
other candidates. Blaine, he thinks,
has chance, only a chance. The poll
ticians would kill off Sherman, and,
should the contest become bitter, neg
alive man. like Washburne or u ch,
Chandler, would be taken. Notwith-
standing the disposition to ridiculs the
proposition to nominate Zach. Chan
dior, Mr.. Chandler has found in his
intercourse with the people a decided
sentiment in favor Of that gentlenan.
Mr.. Chandler believes that Taft
would have proved a stronger candi-
date for Governor of Ohio than Foster,
yet he believes Foster will be elected,
not because of any particular strength
of his own, but because the Repu blican
party of Ohio is much stronger than it's
and will pull him through.
He regards Ewing IS q arbid inaa .is..
and does not believe that the intelli-
gent voters of Ohio will elect a man
who holds such dangerous views.
The election ip Maine, Mr.. Chan iler
thinks, will be close, because of dissen-
sions among the Republicans, but he
feels confident that Davis, the candi-
date Of that party, will be elected. He
believes it was arranged in advance to
nominate Davis, because he was not in
any way connected with the dissen.
slons among the Republican leaders.
