RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL very remarka-
BILE accident occurred to an engine on the
Virginia Midland Railway on Monday
night, but fortunately no one was hurt.
When passenger train, bound north, was
near Midland station a connecting rod of
the engine broke aud completely demolish-
ed the cab. knocking it back towards the
tender and catching the engineer and fire
man under it. The engine being under no
control, rushed on at rapid speed for some
time with no prospect of stopping, when
the engineer succeeded in crawling under
the debris of the cab and cut the rubber
hose of the air brakes, bringing the train to
stand still with no further damage: Alter
the train had stopped the driving wheels of
the engine revolved so rapidly as to wear
away the rails on the spot where the engine
was standing. The train reached this city
a little behind time without further acct
dent.

THIRD VIRGINIA REG1MENT.-Captain
Cooper. of Culpeper, Quartermaster of the
Third Virginia Regiment, was in this city,
this morning, making arrangements for
quartering the different companies of that
regiment in this city during the Inaugural
ton, in which ceremonies the regiment has
decided to participate. This is very sensi'
Bile move on the part of the Third regiment
and one which all the other Virginians
should follow, as better and cheaper accom-
modations can be had here during that time
than in Washington, where the rush will be
so great that all kinds of Inconvenience
will have to be submitted to by many who
will visit that CITY.

During the last month the following
paper has been circulated among the
lawyers of the city:
"We, the undersigned, members Of the
bar of the city Of Richmond, believing
that the organized action and influence
of the legal profession, properly exert
ed, would be the means of producing
more sociability and intimacy be-
tween its members, and would, at
the same time, not only sustain
and promote the dignity and honor of
the profession by roofing out and keep
ing down certain evils that are liable to
spring up otherwise within its bounds,
! ut would also increase its usefulness

E,nIificnI Meefing IN neurico.

The continuous and heavy rain last
night spoilt what was intended to be,
and no doubt would have been, a very
fine Democratic gathering in the West
End, head of Cary street, in Henrico
county. The streets were dark and
the mud abundant, yet over hundred
voters gathered at Shoemaker's store,
who, till the arrival Of the speakers,
were entertained by the music of a
lively Grassland.
Acceptable, pertinent, and incisiye
addresses we're made on the issues Of
the day and the candidates of the two
parties by Messrs. Richard T. Beirne,
Harry NJ. Smith, Jr., Joseph NJ. Shell
ton, Jr., Julius Straus, Meade Haskins,
j. Taylor Ellyson, and William Loyen-
stein. Mr.. Shelton's remarks were ad-
dressed to that phase Of the canvass and
candidates effected by the labor ques-
tion. All Of the speeches were rousing
appeals for Democratic voters to do
their full duty on November Sd.

narrowed, and there is an appearance Of
mental disability. Her eye, once 20
clear and firm, now wears . wild and
unnatural expression. There is not
shadow Of doubt in my own mind
that she is deranged. When I entered
the jail and walked up the iron stairs 10
her cell she was lying down on her bed
in the further corner. She was singing
in low tone plaintiye song, and as !
approached she started up in q fright
ened manner. What do you wantg'
were her first words. Then she added /:
Don't come near me to try to learn
more. They have wropged mc--cruclly
wronged me. l have done nothing.

grsph-ofiice and said they only wanted
me to 60 with them. was to be .
witness in certain case they had, and
they only wanted me to sign some pa
pers to be used in evidence ltappeared
from the rest Of her story that without AS
signing any reasons therefor the authori-
ties had her write letter from dicta-
tion, and sign her name, and then sign
certain articles which they prepared on
the pretence that if she did not sign
they would send her to prison. The
telegram that she was to have sent to
Baltimore was OF such simple and
common nature that when it is an
nounced the reasons for her so doing
will be easily seen. Mrs. Coolidge has
been fearfully victimized, and in a very
few days the entire mystery and its
attending causes will be clearly shown

THE MELLEN CONSPIRACY.
A Growing Belief that che Case Is Oae OF
Biackmali.

A Growing Belief that che Case Is Oae OF
Biaekmaii.
A Boston special says The latest
reports in the alleged Baltimore Boston
conspiracy, which has for forty-eight
hours shared with the church scandal
the sensational interest of the town,
would seem to strengthen the belief
that the affair was blackmail-
ing scheme, as intimated last night.
The story now given out is that Mrs.
Coolidge and the man Donohue had
planned, through the knowledge which
the former had VI the family affairs Of
the Mellens, to put before Mr. Mellen
the alternative Of having his family
&" skeleton " laid bare to the public
gaze, and Of standing under suspicion
of being connected with conspiracy,
or Of paying q large sum as "hush
money" 1t is further suggested that
I" Bose " Cobb, with whose dive Dono-
hue was connected, becoming cognizant
of the plan and wishing to ingra-
tiate himself with the police, who
have been following him closely
of late, determined to "give it
away" and that this Donohue learned
in time to forestall his friends inten-
ton, and then himself "gaye it away"
throwing the burden upon his partner,
Mrs. Coolidge, and holding with her,
for the benefit Of the police, the inter-
views in which she placed herself in
such a predicament. There is now little
doubt, though the inspectors have as
vet given out no information, that the
story Of Donohue's having received his
"blood money" from the senior Mel
len, under the eyes Of two inspectors,
resulted from fight of the imagina-
ton strained by Boston's unusual list
of crimes and scandals.
Mrs. Coolidge is now confined in the
Charles-street Jail, as she was unable
to get the $4,000 bail required. The
counsel engaged for her yesterday has
been superseded by John b. Hebron.
He visited Mrs. Coolidge to-day and
had long interview with her, -fgwSs
seen later by the Times correspondent,
to whom he made this Etsfement

The Mozart Last Night.

Although the weather was inclement
there was fair audience at the Mozart
musicale last night. The programme
was in many respects highly entertain
ing. Mrs. j. Z. True. of Washington,
D. c., gave some charming vocal
solos. She possesses a rich con-
tralto and sings with rare finish
and an accomplished method. A sing
er of such fine schooling has seldom
been heard at the Mozart. Her selec-
tions were rather heavy for the general
audience, yet with orchestral accom-
uaniment her numbers were artistic
rendtions. Mr.. D'Anna's composition
is highly meritOriOus and was well
given, and the instrumental numbers
were altogether creditably rendered.
