Mr.. GARRETr's CAR ON TEAn.-The
special car of President Robert Garrett, OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, came into
the Pennsylvania Railroad Broad Street
Depot on the end of the express from Wash
jngton ut 1855 last Monday night. It was
cut of and shunted in on track No 5. to go
on TO New York, and as it came in the depot
the breaks refused to work. The momentum
which the engine had given it carried it
gayly on, and the gateman shouted for the
people inside the fence to get out off path,
and saw Mr.. Garrett's private secretary 60
up about three feet from the seat where he
sat smoking as the wheels struck the first
buffer beam. They crunched over it and
the second, leaving deep marks in their
nanges, and the car stopped within foot of
the fence Mr.. Garrett came out, cool and
smiling, with his wife. and no one was hurt,
but they had had an exceedingly near
chance of it. The car was not in the least
injured, and was gotten back on the track
by the depot men. The only thing that
suffered was train sign, which was smashed.

TELEGRAPH1Ne FROM MOVING TRAINs.-
Mr.. Edison last Monday made practical
use of a well.known property of electricity
in his new device for receiving and sending
kilograms from a railway train in full mo.
ton. The operator on train connects one
wire of a Morse key with the axle ola oar,
and through that and the wheel with the
track, which serves as conductor for the
incoming current Of electricity; the other
wire from the key he connects with the tin
roof of the car. From the roof the current
springs "by induction" to an ordinary tele:
graph wire running along the track in the
usual manner, and coursing over the wire
returns to the point where the battery is
situated, thus completing the circuit. 1t
has been shown, that messages can be sent
across a river or on arm OF the sea, by cleo
tricity, without wires. 1t has been pro-
posed even to telegraph across the Atlantic
without wires.

The DEBT QUESTION "A dispatch from
Richmond gays that the members Of the
Legislature seem perfectly we'll satisfied that
measures can and will be adopted by the
Legislature which will sustain the Riddle
berger settlement, and keep the coupons out
of the treasury. Since the announcement
of the decision of the Supreme Court several
members have commenced the formulation
of measures intended to evade the decision.
As yet no definite plans have been agreed
upon. The scheme for allowing the counties
and cities to retain all State taxes collected
by them and pay the expenses therefrom
has some supporters. This plan is an old
one, and has often been suggested as
means Of preventing the bondholders from
intercepting the revenues collected By the
State. The plan of amending the constitu-
ton 80 as to give the bondholders ninety
days after the ratification of the same in
which to fund their holdings in Riddelber-
gers meets with soma opposition.
