Newspaper Matters.

The retiring and the new editor of the
St Adams Messenger seem to he as friend

dents. Mr.. Gibbs, in his SalutatOry, eX-
presses desire to maintain for the paper
the high standing ii has held under Mr..
Dixon. He adds that he wants 1t "un-
derstood at the outset that the Messenger
will be independent in its notions and
management, and, editorially, will ex-
press the views and opinions of its editor,
for which the editor alone is responsible
Mr. Dixon, in his valedictory, expresses
the conviction, founded ON number of
wears experience that "the editing of
daily journal is no holiday task" and
commends his successor, Mr., Gibbs, as
IAN able and effective writer, who Will
doubtless make his paper positive and aS-

Train Passes BY.
A Baltimore special of the 4th says
A few miles south Of Marlborough is
chasm which is SPAWNED by an open
trestle bridge. To the bottom of the
chasm at the deepest point is perhaps
sixty feet. The railroad approaches
this bridge around sharp curve, and
the engineer of a train cannot see the
bridge until near it. Yesterday
afternoon, as the Pope's Creek
south-bound passenger train sped
round the curve nearing the bridge, the
engineer was Mortified to see a woman
crossing the bridge on the railroad
track. carrying in her arms an infant
and leading by the hand child of per-
haps three years of age. The engineer
at once applied the air-brakes and blew
the danger-signal, but he saw it was
impossible to stop the train before it
reached the point where the woman was.
She heard the train approaching, turn
ed and looked at it, saw the horrors of her
situation in one quick, intense glance.
Below the heavy rains had filled the
chasm until it had become Il torrent.
To Jump from the bridge would be to
find death in the water; to remain
where she was few seconds longer
would be to meet instant death. Seye-
raj persons who were near the track at
the time and who saw her situation
made signs to the engineer to stop,
but he was powerless. although he
struggled until the sweat stood out
in great drops from every pore.
Then he rushed forward toward the
front Of the locomotive with the inten-
ton of essaying the daring feat Of
seizing the woman and dragging her to
the cow-catcher. At this the woman
caught both children in one arm, with
the other she firmly seized one of the
ties on which the track is laid and swung
herself between the ties and below the
bridge and the train passed over
her. 1t was so quickly done
that the spectators supposed she
had jumped from the bridge. As
soon as the train could be stopped Con-
ductor G.. A. Haverstick and Brakeman
Honeymann rushed back to the spot
where the woman was seen to disap-
pear. They found her clinging to the
tie with one arm and holding her two
little ones with the other. From this
perilous position they were soon res
cued, the woman much exhausted, but
all of them withouta bruise or scratch.

Moore. of the Phoenix Iron Company ;
Mr.. James Leroy, and two unknown
ladies. The Misses Hance yentured
too far out, and were carried into deep
water by the tide, which is very strong
At this point. Dir. Hofeman, OF VII
mineton, who was near them at the
time, attempted to assist one OF them
Their perilous position was noticed by
Mr.. A. A. Moore, Of the Ph@nlx
Bridge Company, and Mr.. George W.
Sherman, Of this city, who were stand
ing near the iron pier. Mr.. Moore
rushed for a large plank and iloated
out towards them. In the mean time
a crowd had collected on the beach.
Plank after plank was sent to them.
IL was noticed that Mr.. Hofeman
was exhausted, and Mr.. Sherman went
to his rescue and brought him to the
shore. Mr.. Moore was also brought
ashore in an unconscious condition. A
boy ran down the beach to the patrol
Of the Rutter Brothers and gave the
alarm. James Heffy, member Of the
crew, ran up the beach, and, removing
his clothes, at once plunged into the
water and assisted in bringing Mr..
Hofeman to shore. The ladies', in the
meanwhile, were clinging to the planks
or floating around them. Hefy man
aged to get set several OF the plsnks
together, and lifted one after another
upon them. There was much ex-
citement at this time, and the crowd on
the beach we're calling some one to carry
out a rope and tie the planks together,
so that the raft could be pulled ashore.
Charles Tyndall took hold Of the rope,
and with much difficulty swan out to
the raft and placed the unconscious
ladies upon the raft. The word was
given, and the rude raft, with its almost
lifeless freight, was pulled ashore with
willing hands. The ladies were laid on
the beach, and the usual methods OF
resuscitation used. The Misses Hance
are now in a serious condition, and Mr..
Moore and Mr.. Hofeman are suffering
from nervous exhaustion, and are at
tended by physician.
