A Marrow Escape. On Friday morning
as the second section OF the Fast line
east, was running at rapid rate around
the curve below Duncannon, the flange,

in an instant the whole train was off
the track. The train consisted of five
cars, two express, one passenger and two
Pullman sleepers, and all were more or
less damaged by the accident, Fortu-
nately none of them were overturned.
The trucks were torn front beneath
them while going over the ties.

Poisoned night last week Mr..
Jacob Shuman, of Millerstown, made
mistake which came near terminating
his existence, so far as this world is con-
cerned. He had been aillng for several
days, and at stated periods had medicine
to take, and, on the night in question,
got out of bed and took tea spoonful of
what he thought was his medicine, but
after returning he again grew very sick
and again got out Of bed. This time he
discovered that he had made mistake
and took dose of solution of corro-
sive sublimate, a poision used for kill
ing bed bugs. Realizing his situation, a
messenger was at once sent for DIR. s.
Sites, who lives few doors distant,
who, upon learning the facts of the case,
administered an emetic and some other
antidotes, succeeding in relieving the
sufferer and saving his life.-Ledger.

Ralph E. ROLAND, the Chambersburg
bank robber, died on Saturday week in
his cell in the Eastern Penitentiary, of
Bright's disease Of the Kidneys. Aged
about forty years.
Now that the bank robber Clermont or
ROLAND as he is called, is gore legal
complication is likely to ensue over the
possession of the diamonds which were
found concealed in shaving brush han
die, and taken from him at the time of
his attempted escape from the peniten-
tiary in December last. They are sup
posed to be worth over $40 900, but have
not been officially valued. This will be
done in few days. There are forty-two
stones altogether, and all have marks
showing that they have been in settings,
either as a necklace or brooch and ear
rings. 1t is altogether probable that the
woman claiming to be his second wife,
from whom Clermont, who then went
under an assumed name, filched valu-
able set of diamonds, will put in claim,
and the Chicago woman will also have
a say. Clermont's father has not been
heard from,

The Chambersburg Murder.-In regard
to this case the Repository says; On
Wednesday Adam Dengler, residing in
this place, called on the District Attor-
ney, said he was with Allison that night
all told all he knew in regard to the hor-
rible affair. Part of the statement is
withheld in order not to subvert the
ends of justice. We are permmitted,
however, to give the following: He says
he and Allison were digging up potatoes
when they were suddenly surprised by
the appearance of Stouffer in the field
with gun. They both started to run,
Dengler running diagonally across the
field towards Kennedy's woods. Stouff-
er called to them and Immediately fired.
Dengler says he was struck in the shoul-
der himself with part of the load and
fell several times. He went over to
Kennedy's woods where he got very
sick and started for home as he thought
Allison had escaped unhurt. This is all
we are at liberty to disclose No doubt
a number of our readers will wonder
why this and that was not done, but as
the case is to go before jury when a
clear and impartial verdict will be rem
dered, we have NO comments to make
on the question.
Snakes.-The Chambersburg Opinion
says: On Monday the 26th ult., as w.
H. M'Cleary, Clayton Poe, Jacob Poe
and George Poe, were walking along the
foot of the North Mountain, near White
Rock, above VIM. Keefer's, when they
came upon den of rattle snakes. Cut
ting sticks, they prepared for the battle,
and charged upon the enemy, killing
seventeen from one to four feet in
length. Two large reptiles escaped
under the rocks. In the conflict great
many rattles were knocked off, but two
were secured with eleven rattles each
making them fourteen years0,d.

Special Dispatch TO the Cincinnati Gasst.e.
NEw ALBANY, April 1.-THE. Gazette
correspondent was today Informed by q
well posted gentleman, large dealer in
builders hardware, that 4 number Of
agents OF spectators who hold large stocks
oil nails are now ION the road, trying TO
get rid Of their stocks, even at q conces-
sion on the card rates OF manufacturers.
II Is claimed by those best informed that
the recent estimate madeby the Nail Man
ufacturers' Association, that there are but
100000 kegs OF nails now in the markets
Of the West and South; % largely yuuder
the quantity actually held. An agent was
In this city q few days ago from house
in the small city OF Madison, Indiana,
who stated that his house alone had 20,-
600 kegs In stock, and that he knew OF q
number OF other houses in the small Ohio
river cities that held equally large stocks.
The general impression seems 70 be that
the movement among the nail manutact'
urers in Stopping production Is wholly
speculative and &C. keep up pFices 70 the
present high figures. The effect ot this Is
likely TO be the stoppage oil building en-.
terprise and the consequent stagnation oi
business In the nail trade. Already there
Is loud complaint among the operatives In
nail works against their enforced idlenesa
and the consequent suffering II Is bringing
10 themselves and their families. Naill
should take the downward grade In price
with iron.

james MeManes and T! Dunbar Lockwood,
the conflict alleging to have grown out ol
the trouble between the two at the Union
League Club House, Saturday night, have
no foundation. The matter between them
remains N statu quo, neither having taken

in the mouth. The Directors OF the Club
have done nothing, and are not likely to.
The report Of q meeting between these
men may have grown out OF the fact that
on Saturday DR.. White and Robert ii.
Adams, Jr., both Of the First City Troop,
are said to have fought duel. shots
were exchanged, but neither was hurt,
and the only thing accomplished was %
make themselves the laughing stock oi
