Special Dispatch to the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON, September 1.-The train on
the Hempheld K. R., due here from Wheel
ing at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, came
near furnishing an item, but fortunately
no serious accident resulted.
On this side Of West Alexander the en-
CINE became detached from the train and
ran ahead for a short distance and stopped,
when the balance of the train coming on a
down grade struck the engine with great
force. Several OF the passengers were
bruised and cut, but none seriously in
jured.
Notwithstanding the fact that Washing
ton has four weekly and one daily paper,
there is q strong probability that the ClayS-
vile SH'iRei will be removed TO this place
IL a suitable room can be procured. At the
recent temperance convention held at this
place the Sentinel was adopted as the 9TH
cial organ of the Temperance party, and
the editor thinks he should be at the
COT ty seat.
A mystery. which affected the reputa-
ton of a minister, has been cleared mp,
and has resulted in the eXoneration of the
gentleman. Some time ago the Rev. W. e..
Van Meter, formerly of CanonsbuIg, and
Superintendent of the italian Sunday School
Mission, lost two drafts of one thousand
dollars each, and serious charges were
made against him. A few days ago he re-
ceiyed the letter containing the drafts,
when it was discovered that they had been
miscarried. One of them turned up among
the dead letters at Rome, Italy, and the
other in the dead letter office at Ottawa,
Canada.
