An Engine Through a Draw.

On Saturday morning last, engine No. 60,
attached to the southern express, when
about crossing the Brandywine bridge,
plunged into the draw, on the top Of the
canal boat George ". Pugh, which was being
lowed up the Brandywine to Jessup &
Monre'S store house, Opposite the foot of
Poplar street. 1t was showing at the time,
and it is partly owing to this and partly to
the fact that the train was behind time that
the accident occurred. The signal of danger
displayed at the upper end of the bridge
was on, but through the falling flakes it
was not seen, and it was not until the
engineer saw the signal of warning given
by the bridge tender did he reverse the
engine. The tracks being covered with
snow the wheels did not hold and the
engine slipped over the track and into the
draw.
Captain G. II. Goodwin and his wife were
on board of the boat and when the engine
came upon the deck with such terrific
crash they gave themselves up rs lost. The
wife was in the cabin. She was thrown
heavily to the floor. Fortunately the i'm
menSe wei sht i'll the middle OF the boat
forced its stem and stern considerably above
! water and so remained until the captain
and his wife could he taken off, rs we'll as

that the plunge would be inevitable, they

postal car hagg lge car, and two passenger
cars In the latter were about sixty pas
| >engerS who, when the train stopped, were
wholly ignorant of the fearful disaster from
which they had been go miraculouSly saved
| They could not realize the situation until
| they had gotten out and looked at the
| broken and diSmautiel wreck in the creek
below. The boat had sunk to the water :
edge and broken literally in two. The
| engine, with its smoke stack battered and
| til" aXles and running gears broken, lay on
the boat buried in the water. The tender,
| falling in the channel, was buried from
! sight, it being high tide when the accident
| occurred.
| Etston & Mcmahon, Of Philadelphia, are

Snperannuated Catholic cl-rgymen, and for
this purpose the frame dwelling already on
the place will he torn down, and new and
commodiouS buildings erected 1T Il cost of

this will be the first institution of its kind
in America. The society is 4 religious one
composed entirely of men who devote their
lives to charity. Twelve or fifteen members
of the society will remain on the farm and
cultivate it. The locating of the building
in Delaware was the result of 4 compromise
between Cardinal McCloskey, who desired
it should be somewhere on the banks of the
Hudson, and other prominent Catholics,
who wanted it built in one of the Southern
States.
The home will I've Totally different from
the Catholic hospital at Lancaster, Pa, and

President Garfieli's Popularity.

President Garfield is having. in one
sense. Il much more agi eeable experience
than his immediate predecessor in office.
During the entire term of Mr.. Hayes
there We're a number of Republican Sena-
tors and members who never called at
the White House at all. and there Were
no Democratic Senators or members whu
called. except few from the South whu
wanted office for their friends. There
were nor Il few who never even would
accept the formal evening invitations ia
the White House. and it is certain that
there was not one dlv of Mr.. ilaves' So.
inurn in the White House that his dis
puted right of tenure did not fling its
shadow across his path. But the new
President. who has always been person
lilly one of the most popular public men
who ever came to Washington. is called
upon daily by the most distinguished OF
the Democrats. and MANY of them with
no axes to grind. but simply to testify
their respect and regard.
