Yesuerday's Accidents.

A correspondent, who witnessed the
wreck of the freight train yesterday
morning, the particulars of which have
been published, says:
"You could neither conceive or
imagine the perfection of the wreck.
The locomotive was mere wreck of Its
former self and so completely was it
coyere over with detris of the wrecked
cars that it could not at first be seen
and yet the fireman and engineer es'
eaped miraculously, the latter with a
broken arm and some severe scalds,
whose injuries were attended to by a
physician"
The condition of Mr.. Morgan, the un'
fortunate engineer is serious one, al.
though DR.. Kane, his physician says
he will pull him through all right. He
was severely scalded besides having his
arm broken, his back hurt and his an
kle sprained. His condition this morn
ing was somewhat improved.

McLear & Kendall, carriage builders,

rary quarters at Water and Market
streets, to their own building at Ninth
and King streets, which has been re-
built, and is now ready for occupancy.
Their old building was destroyed by
fire about three months ago, and with
the exception of couple OF the walls
had to be entirely rebuilt. The fact
that the new place is ready for occu.
papcy SO soon, reflects not only great
credit upon the builders and contrac.
tors, but also on the firm for their en-
erRy in graphing with the misfortune,
and restoring in measure what they
have lost. A disaster such as happened
to this firm, was enough to overcome
and dishearten ordinary men, but they
have risen to the occasion, and the re-.
suit is now seen in their handsome and
commodious workshop, larger and bet
ter adapted to their business than the
one that was destroyed.

The Actions and Antics OF O Fe
male Prisoner LAEt Evening,

AMo ACtlOub 0Au AubAGb OA u T0-
male Prisoner LAst Evening.
Last evening Mrs. Tilghman was
charged before the Mayor with using
abusive and threatening language to
Alfred Lewis and his wife. Mrs. and
Mr.. Lew is testified that they live In a
house at the Forty Acres, belonging to
the defendant, who occupies the ad-
joining property. They are constantly
annoyed by her, and on recent occa-
sion she threatened to scald their little
child to death. Mr.. Lewis had re.
ceipts to show that he had paid his rent
promptly, but he said the defendant
had told it all around that he did not
pay any rent and she had been COM
PEELED to warn him out. Mrs. Thigh
man Is middle aged woman, and was
dressed in black with heavy Grape
veil, and Is evidently little cranky.
When asked what she had to say to the
charge, she rose in the dock and ex-
tending her hand heavenward, said,
"If the angels could speak they:.would
bear her out in saying that it was not
So" She then INDUCED in TRADE
against the prosecutors, and said she
was so sick that she tainted twice while
she was getting ready to accompany
the officers. She informed the Mayor
that she intended to sell her property
and take the case to Court, to sec if the
officers had any right to arrest her aud
leave her little girl at home. The
Mayor, after this tongue lashing, i'm =
posed a fine of S. and costs, and Or
dered her to be taken out of the dock.
When the officer went to her house she
drew back and said she preferred to
have some other officer take her, as she
did not like his looks. She was taken
to the room on the upper floor, when
she commenced such a hammering on
the door that the officers were glad to
bring her down in the corridor. The
Chief finding that he had and elephant
on his hands, asked her how much
money she had, when she produced
IS 20, which, as the fine and costs were
about $40, was, of course, not enough
TO secure her release. She then sent
for Mr.. Belt and claimed that, as she
had bought medicine at his store on one
or two occasions, he must be acquainted
with her but finally in answer to her
earnest pleadings and the assurance
that she would die if she did not get
home to her little girl, advanced the
necessary amount to release her from
durance vile. When last seen by the
reporters, she was trying to find Mayor
Wales to get him TO feel her pulse and
give her prescription.
