An Engine RfeGpltntea bVNh IN Esa-
bankment on the Q. d r. u. Il.
About 8 o'clock yesterday morning as q
freight train was passing Though Bridge
port on the @. & P. railroad, the engine
was detached and run upon switch near
the Buckeye Glass Works, to get some
lime cars which were to be added to the
train. The switch was built on fill some
10 feet in height, and under this wasa cul-
vert through which stream OF water ran.
ORDINARILY the opening was ample large to
allow the run to pass without difficulty,
but the heavy rains of Monday night had
go swollen the stream that 1t was too large
for the culvert, and cut passage for itself
through the fill, washing away by degrees
nearly all the earth under this part OF the
switch. The track, however, still remain
ed. and in the glare OF the headlight was
apparently in good condition. But the
instant the engine was upon 1t, 1t gave
way, and the engine was precipitated 70
the ground below, turning entirely over
| in lis fall, and alighting upon its top,
nearly burying itself in the soft earth:
The cab was broken into Eplinters, and
the roof crushed in. The engineer,
WIN. Jordan, and his son, who was
acting as firemen, had no warning OF the
accident, nor time 10 escape. That they
were not both killed seems miraculous un'
der the circumstances. The shock de.
priyed Mr.. Jordon OF consciousness, and
when he recovered he found himself jam
med in space that made very close
quarters. His first thought was for hisson
| but he had already been released by the
train bands, and the father also succeeded
in escaping fiom his cr1mped position
Neither OF them is badly hurt, their only
Injuries being few bruises. They wert
taken to Pittsburgh yesterday.
The engine Is a total wreck. Beside tht
destruction OF the cab, the smoke.stacl
was broken square of and thrown to
distance OF ten feet or more, and the ma
chinery Is broken and bent terribly. Thu
front end OF the tender was also bro
ken of.
A gangof men was yesterday engaged
in clearing away the earth from about th'
engine, and 1t will be righted and hoistee
TO the track above as soon as may be. /
will have TO be almost rebnii!!s. before
can be again used, however.

The High School Orchestra has
been trained by Prof. @. o. Burg, and for

proficient in music. The literary exercises
were also oil high order. Prof. Burg is
not only an accomplished ltngutst and
mathematician, but he Is also a musical
genius, and pupils are very fortunate to
fall under his tuition. He has now been
among us for some time, and no better
teacher or more accomplished gentleman
has yet attempted the education oil the

The MIshap 20 His Boat NJ Providence.
We are indebted to Dan Cochran for a
copy Of the Providence Star, from which
we clip the following paragraphs OF inter
est TO our readers, and especially to those
interested In the career Of Wheelings
champion oarsman, Geo. w. Weisgerber:
"Itis to be regretted that at certain
points on the river there are shoal spots
on which are distractions, which, at low
water are barely visible and at other times
in theloyer stages OF the tide are conceal.
ed beneath lhe surface. The spots are in
shallow water near the shore, and do not
affect the coarse in the least, but to the
oarsman, who in practicing keeps inshore
to avoid the flow OF the tide or the force
OF the wind. they are q most treacherous
enemy. Yesterday afternoon, while
Weisgerber and Hanlan were out
for their usual practice, the Tor
mer met with an unfortunate aect-
dent by an encounter with one OF the
aforementioned distractions. While
