The Tony Denier Troupe Tonight.

Mr.. Robert Hill, to whom our citizens
are indebted for all opportunity of wit
Messing the finest exhibitions that have
been brought to Slaunton-the Caroline
Richings Troupe, the Chanfrau Troupe,
Harry Shannon and the Katie Putnam
Troupe-all of which were of the highest
order, has now brought the Tony Denier
''Humpty Dumpty' Troupe. We have
his assurance and that of a gentleman who
has Travelled with the troupe for'years that
tits wholly unexceptionable and furnishes
innocent mirth in any quantity. 1t played
in Richmond only Two or three nights ago
and the Richmond Dispatch said of it.:
An excellent Humpty -Dumpty perform
aHce was given at the Theatre last even
ing by Tony Oenier's company. Mr.. Geo.
Adams, as Humpty, was excellent and
cOnvulsed the audience by his many quaint
antics and droll facial contOrtlOns. The
part he played as audience in suddenly ia
king possession of private box was very
novel and funny. Mr.. j. .. Hall was very
good as .'PantalOon," aud the rest OF the
cast did we'll. The great charm IF the per-
torrance was that in the Humpty-Dump-
ty business; while spirited and much of it
new, there was not 80 much Of it as to be-
come tiresome. The intermissiUns were
very short, scarcely allowing time for the
insatiates to indulge in the customary re-
freshmentS
We hope the troupe will be greeted by a
full house in Staunton tonight.

PERILOUs SITUATION.-On the 18th ult.
as the west bound express train on the c.
& o. road was running along Greenbrier
river, about three miles above Anderson,
stone rolled on the track. The engine
knocked it off, but it rolled down again
under the second car. 1t tore away every
brake on the train and divided the train
into two sections. The engineer put on
steam to get awav from the following sec
ton. which being without brakes, could
not be stopped. The train ran mile in
this condition. the dragging brakes grind
ing against the road bed. There was
great excitement on the cars and some of
the ladies tainted. The cars slowed up in
safety, but after narrow escape, for had
one of the brakes been thrown under the
wheels they would have been wrecked.

wounded; Glenn, conductor Oh ma

wounded, and several colored labor
ers on the material train. names not
given, wounded. The accident happened
between two stations, and great difficulty
was experienced in getting intelligence of
its extent, but the foregoing is an exact
list of those who suffered by it. The acct
dent was caused by the material train be-
ing out on the road contrary to orders.
The extent of the hurts Of those wounded
is not yet known.
A later telegram kindly furnished US
last night, by B. F. Harlowe, Esq :, of the
Lewisburg lind ependent, says the COLI
sion took place as the material train was
making for the siding, at Hoke's Saw Mill.
The track was still blocked by the wreck
and the body of johnson had not yet been
gotten out of it. John Coin, the fireman,
from Hinton. had had his leg amputated.
The conductor and engineer of the mate
rial train escaped by leaping from their
train. The engineer of the freight was
badly scalded. Two Of the 'colored men
it is thought will die. All the other woun-
ded may recover.

A Narrow Escape.

On Friday morning last as Rev. Alex.
Sprunt, pastor of Augusta church, was
driving home from Staunton with his wife
and infant. the horse attached to the bus
gy, SHE'D. The buggy was going at rap
id pace and the sharp turn OF the horse
threw Mis-. Sprunt, with her sleeping in
FAINT in her arms, out into the road, the
child being separated from its mother and
falling directly under the wheel of the
vehicle. Mr. Sprunt held the horse so as
to prevent the wheel from running over the
child until Mrs. S. could rescue it from
its perilous position. Strange to say,
though the fall was one of much violence,
the child was not at all injured and Mrs.
Sprunt was only slightly bruised.

Augusta Colored People in Iowa.

Maj. Thos. Shumate arrived in Stannt0n
last week from Iowa, fall on tbeice hay
! ing injured his knee, and temporarily dis
abled him. He returns there in few
days. He brings good deal of interest
ing intelligence about the colored people
who went from Augusta and Staunton to
work in the mines there. There are six
hundred in all. including women and chill
dren. They have town council, of which
Rev Mr.. Brookus, the colored pastor of
the Baptist church is President. Dennis
Harris and Fitzhugh Carter, formerly Of
Stanton, are m smbers of the council
which has considerable powers. 1t levies
taxes and sees to the order of the commu-
nifty. Not long ago a colored man dis
turbed religious meeting. He was ar
rested by the eolored Chief of Police,
Washington Brown and fined. The Coun-
Gil then gave HIM notice to leave the COM
munity which he did. The col0red people
have erected a Baptist church and are
about putting up Methodist church.
The Swedes in the neighb0rhOOd are very
friendly to the blacks and often worship
in their church.
Augusta and stanton are we'll repre-
sented at the mines. DR.. A. Lee Patter-
son, nephew of DR.. J. A. Waddell, is
the Company's Physician, and w. Boz.
johnson IS Mining Engineer and Pay Roll
Clerk. Among the colored people, the
stanton men are rapidly advancing; John
Jackson who was raised by Capt. J. II.
Waters. is a dispatcher of trains in the
mines; James Usher, a son of Mrs. Thos.
Campbell, is fireman; Leonard Roberts,
formerly with the la'e N. r. Catlett) and
John Green formerly with DR.. Waddell)
are Boss Switchers of trains; Bob H0gshett
and Wash. Brown are Conductors on the
mine trains. John Echols Harris, son
of Dennis Harris, has learned ttslegraphy
and is assisting in the telegraph depart
ment. There are five miles of railroad
| track in the mines.
The colored people are nearly all from
Augusta and Albemarle, except few
from Fluvanna and Louisa and about q
dozen from Rockbridge. They are thrifty
ard we'll behaved. TIE anniversary Of
their arrival in Iowa is to be celebrated on
tomorrow, March 9Th, and Governor
Gear of Iowa, and other distinguished men
are to be present. The cOlored miners have
subscribed nearly $3.50 to make the affair
success. This sub cription does not 60
hard with them as many of them have
money laid by i, b nix. Maj. Shumate's
opinion of his ''foy4'' as he Calls them is
that their life in Iowa las made new men
of them, given them bitter ideas of indus
try and thrift and clearer conception of
the responsibility Of labor.
