NARROW ESCAPE
OF Mrs. Garfield. 1.-The Train Nearly
Thrown of the Track.

NEW YORK, July >. 1t is stated that the
special car with Mrs. Garfield on board. had
n most narrow escape from destruction while
enroute for Washington. The parallel rod
by the side of the engiue broke while making
$50 revolutions a minute. 1t tore the side
ties to pieces for two miles before it could
be stopped. Had the engine left the track.
the car would have been splintered to kind
ling wood. and all on board would have
been killed Another engine was sent from
Washington. ami the car with Mrs. Garfield
arrived finally after a halfhour's DELAY.

Revolutions Passed.
After the adjournment of the legislature
day. democratic members of both branches
met and passed resolutions denouncing the
attempted assassination of President Garfield
and expressing sympathy with his family.
Conference to be Held.
The Post, Albany. says as nearly as can be
ascertained the calls for republican confer
ence signed by 60 names with every prospect
of having the necessary sixty-fve before af-
ternoon. in which case the conference will
probably be called for this evening. From
present appearances the outcome of con-
ference looks like Cornell and Depew; if the
Crowley men now voting fol- Crowley should
also go to the conference Crowley might take
the place of Cornell.

ment to his physicians. The nourishment
which he has taken at intervals has been
perfect and has noticeably increased his
strength He has slept frequently and with
apparent; refreshment and the decrease
in temperature and pulse has re-
lieved all apprehensions of serious
inflammation. The transient unfavora-
BILE reaction which caused so much uneasiness
last night between and 9 o'clock. and which
it was thought might occur again tonight,
have not thus far taken place. The favorable
symptoms of the day have continued through
out the hours of the evening, which hitherto
seemed the most critical, and this fact is
thought by the attending physicians to indi-
cate substantial gain. At IL p. NJ. the

ton, having Clara in charge last week for
some misdelneanor, came across the Old
warrant from this county, and 1T once COM
municated with Sheriff Logan. to ascertain
whether or not she was still wanted here.
AS the charge still stood against her, Sheriff
Logan went to Wilmington, and, finding
Clara willing to come, brought her down on
Saturday. Justice Scott gave her hear
inc and committed her for trial at court.

arrested with her, was sent to Chester,

A Narrow Escape.

On Thursday last, Mrs. Crosley and her
daughter, i young lady, who reside on the
Aldridgc farm, i'll Elk Neck, narrowly
escaped L serious accident at the railroad
crossing. near the Red Mill (Niusinger' 's).
They We're driving quite Il spirited horse,
and just before they reached the crossing 4
train went laundering by. The horse took
fright and wheeled suddenly round, and
had it not been for the weak character of
harness and other attachments, would have
upset the vehicle. The ladies jumped as
the horse turned, the younger one landing
safely. The mother, however, who is Il large
lady, tripped and fell to the ground head
foremost. Her feet became entangled in
some part Of the carriage, and she would
have been dragged in that position had it
not been that her weight and the weight of
the carriage was too much for the harness,
and when the horse started it broke. letting
him free from the shafts. As it was, Mrs.
Crosey's head and face were much cut and
bruised, and it may be that she suffered
other injury, not now apparent. Surely
there is as much necessity for a tlagman at
this crossing as at any other in the county,
and the railroad company should put one
there
