FREIGHT WKECK.

Over Fifty Cars of the Track at Harrisburg.
Monday night abOut ten o'clock the
train of local freight east was broken near
Hanna street, Harrisburg. AS soon as the
break was discovered tho fagman of the
train hurried back to flag another freight
following directly in the rear. lie had
hardly gotten off the train when tho un-
fortunate freight in the rear was seen
coming down the track at high rate of
speed. Engineer McGowen, of the rear
train, reversed his engine and put on tho
air brakes at once, but collision was ill.,
evitable, as his train was at too high a
rate of speed to stop it in such u short
distance. He and his fireman sprang from
the engine just as it struck the oabOOse Of
tho front train, and thus escaped fatal in
jury. The engine struck the caboose, split
ting it and throwing the cars in almost every
direction. The engineer and fireman es-
capped with but slight injuries and the
brakemen we're all unhurt. Tho number of
cars wrecked is near thirty. The track was
blocaded and trains delayed. The wreck
ing gang was ordered to the scene OF the
disaster at once. All the track and
vicinity of the wreck presents very
rough appearance. Cars are piled up and
scattered over the place for whole square.
The engine of tho rear train is broken be-
yOnd repair.

COlored Independents.
There was q large meeting of respecta-
bic colOred men in Philadelphia, on
Monday night, called for the purpose of
endorsing the Independent Republican
nominees. A contingent of Stalwart
strikers and heelers had been sent to the
meeting, and they did all in their power
to capture it for Beaver.
They did not succeed in silencing the
Independent speakers, but they did create
a great noise and confusion when tho
meeting was about half over, aud for a
time it looked like breaking up in . row.
About dozen policemen from the Nine
teenth district station house were present
on duty, and while they made q pretence
of demonstrating with the roughs they
appeared to be more in sympathy with the
rowdies than to make any determined
effort to preserve order. Tho most con-
spicuous among tho disturbers of the
meeting ~were Geo. A. Cornelius, the
Fifth ward constable, who was one

and liquor to control cOlOred votes and in

this state. As soon rs the resolutions were
read scene of indcscribable confusion en-
sued. Led by Cornelius, the ruffiaus in the
back end Of the room raised such howl
that not word could DO heard. This
continued for several minutes. In vain
did the chairman call for order and in
vain did the gentlemen Oh the stage insist
turbcrs out. Finally Mr.. Purves made
himself heard and respected. "Iu the

founded tho American Anti Slavery society

he closed by offering a series. of resolu.

sufficient to prevent action on the resolu-

fused to sell the shoes at the first named
price. The plaintiff was then compelled
to 60 elsewhere to buy which he did at an
advance of s1.75 per keg from what de
fendants asked. This suit was brought to
recover the difference. The first witness
called was Craig Liggett, who stated that
he had never been . member of the
firm of Robert Liggett s Co. He was
the only person that the plaintiff had had
service upon and they therefore suffered
a noD-suit.

fendant owed tho plaintiff nothing. The
jury found in favor of the plaintiff in the
sum Of s99.63.

COOPER will discover that he has
made nothing for his party and his can.
didate by al assault upon the father of
Mr.. Pattison, who, though in his grave,
is of blessed memory among those who
knew him. He was a man conspicuous
alike for learning and good works.
Though an earnest Methodist and in the
front rank of the clergy of that denom-
ination he was a broad minded and
liberal Christian, who gave offense to
none that differed from him. Dur
ing the war he was eminent as sup
porter of the Union, and he aided, with
every seemly means; to uphold the
government in its struggle for existence.
For COoper's smut machine to assail
such 4 man as a secessiOnist and to
seek to injure the living by libelling the
dead is stroke in politics that can harm
none except the desperate men who re-
sort to it. 1t need not be said that they
who invoke this style Of warfare are men
not worthy to loose the shoe-latchets of
the late Rev. DIR. Pattison. In the com.
munities where his character and that of
his dcfamerS are known we are we'll
satisfied to take public judgment in this
matter.

ALLEGED FORGERY.
Two Men Of the Same Name

Two M0n Oh tn0 Same Name.
This morning, C. F. Binkley, of New
Danville, this county, was arrested at his
home and brought to this city, to answer
a charge Of forgery preferred against him.
The facts of the case, as far as developed,
are that Mr.. Binkley bought some cows,
and gave in payment to George Grossman
q note for 41O7, signed by Binkley and en-
dOrsed by BeEj. Snavely. On being offered
for discount the note was thrown out, as
tho signature of Snavely was said to have
been forged. Hence the suit. Binkley
gave bail in tho sum of $500 for hearing
before Alderman Spurrier on Friday next.
We learn from friend 0fBinkley that the
signature Is not forged there arc two
BENJAMIN Snavelys, one Of whom 10 .
farmer and the other q Wagonmaker, and
it was the latter who endorsed the note.
The bankers were probably thinking Of
Farmer Snavely's signature when they
pronounced the note forgery.
