THE ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT.-The
accident at Lamokin last night was
very Serious affair, but might have
proved far more disastrous. 1t is real
ly wonderful that mere were not kill
cd and SO few were seriously injured
John Finn, of this city, was the
only passenger killed, while some IS
persons were more or less injured
among the latter are VIM. Polk, Esq :,
Levy Court Commission, of this coun.
ty.s Mr.. Polk and Albert H. Silver,
Esq, had been to Philadelphia, on
business connected with the new court
house. Mr.. Silver narrowly escaped,
as 1T seems did many hers, whose
names will be found in the report OF
the accident elsewhere in these col.
umns. The accident was occasioned
by the omission of man who's duty
1t was to attend switch. He had ar
ranged everything properly except the
switch which he had lefs open and
hence the train from Philadelphia was
sent at quite rapid speed into the
train from Wilmington with the ia
tai results mentioned.

The Bo;,,,ov Ao. in n. for+bcomiuo

The Rail,sav Age, in It's forthcoming
number, presents q summary showing
the mileage Of track actually laid dowr
in the United States during the yeal
1850. The footings show that 1927
miles OF new track were lad during the
past twelve months on at least 234
different lines. These figures are greater
than for any year since. 1871, and The
mileage is greater by 81 per cent. than
that of 1879. The Age anticipates that
final figures will increase the grand total
to 1900 miles mileage greater than
has been constructed In the United
States or any other country in any pre-
vious year. The only State in which no
work has been done is Mississippi, and
the only Territories are idaho, WyoD-
ing, and Indian, from which railroads
are kept, although eager to enter, and
Alaska. Another year will see large
additions in these Territories. Dakota
leads the country with $50 miles of new
track. Texas comes next with $50; then
Ohio, 525; New Mexico, $40; Iowa, AS;
Colorado, 401; Nebraska, 3S5; Illinois
and Kansas, $40 each. The total mile
age IN the Unied States is 3,704,
4gainst 6O,2S3 IN 1871 and 74,O98 in
1875.

THE STATE DEBT.-On every hand
We hear gentlemen complimentinp
Governor Halls message for its urgel t
appeal to the Legislature to convert
the State debt into per cent. bonds.
And, SO far as we hear, the Legisla-
ture is ready to accede mainly TO the
Governors suggestions. Gov. Coch>
ran recommended the refunding OF
the debt two years ago but the ques-
tIon failed before the Senate after the
bill had passed the House. Then i,
was thought the debt could have been
converted into per cent. bonds. Ii
was not done and there is now sup
posed to be no doubt that our State
bonds can be disposed Of at per cent j.,
30 that there may be nothing lost by
the failure to pass the bill two years
ago. The committee having the mat.
ter In charge have very commercially
already gone to work at it, and VT
hope they will find no trouble in secur.

>desired object they have in hand 10 be
successfully accomplished.

A ROAD TO THE DELAwAB

A ROAD TO THE DELAWARE
FRoNT.-It will be seen that the
City Council has passed resolution
to make an appropriation of $4,000
to build a road to the Delaware
River in front of the city. This is a
very important step, and we hope it
will prove judicious one. A road
to the river front has been needed
for many years. But the difficulties
have been great and until recently
there seemed no practical way to
build a road that commanded the
confidence of our citizens to such
an extent as to induce them to vote
the public money to the enterprise.
Since the National Dredging Con-
pany have been operating along the
Delaware greater confidence in the
practicability of a good road way
has been acquired, and hence the
appropriation.

and weighs $50 pounde. In going from
one place to another she travels only
on first class passenger trains, and has
special car for her exclusive use. 1t is
ono of the finest horse cars on the New
York Central railroad, and is fitted up
In the most comfortable manner. A
large stall is arranged in the forward end
OF the car, all the four sides being thick
ly upholstered with leather softly padded
to prevent any possible injury. Four
men beside Capt. Stone accompany her.
Or these one is her driver, aud two OF
the Others are grooms, who ride con.
stantly with and wait upon her as care
fully as though they were maids of a
ysritable princess. She rides back
wards, thus preventing draughts which
might arise from the side doors or ven

of course, allowed TO ride free over the
Vanderbilt lines, and on account OF be-
longing to William II. Vanderbilt, most

Not Confirmed.

A local appeared IN the Nesos this
morning, to the effect that on We'd
nesday evening last, man named
John Reynolds, of this city, fell off a
passenger train leaving this city at
6.15 p. M, near Newark, aid that he
came very near being killed by north
bound freight tram; and further that
his injuries were of such q character
that he lies in precarious condition,
The conductor of the train referred to
when approached this morning said
that he had heard nothing of the ac-
cident, and that it would have been
almost impossible for a man to fall
from the platform as there was a
brakeman on each car. He did not
think such an accident had occurred.
The officials in this city have not yet
heard of the case.
A number of persons who read the
item thought it was John w. Rey.
nolds, of the Malta House, and called
there to see il such was the case. They
found Mr.. Reynolds well and unin-
jured, but very much annoyed at the
item.
