It will be succeeded either Oy the bank
ruptcy bill or by the bill for the admission
OF Washington Territory as State.
There is the same condition OF expect

Judiciary Committee upon the letter Of the
ATTORNEY General in which he declines to
furnish certain papers in the Dustin case,

PAREERsBURG, February l4.-Last night
between L and u o'clock engine No. 7Os,
which had been side-tracked after the ar
rival Of the accommodation on the B. l. o..
railroad, was run on the main track By
some person, headed east and started down
toe road at speed of twenty eight miles
an hour. The incoming freight was met
and run into by the wild engine at Bridge
No. so, about twelve miles east of this
city, causing q general wreck Of both en-
gines and six freight cars The engineer
OF the incoming freight, Major Anderson,
saw the engine coming at distance OF
about ten car lengths he blew the whistle
to down brakes and Jumped from his en-
CINE, lighting against the bank and re-
ceiyipg severe bruises. The fireman,
John Armsy, ran back on the cars
and was found fastened under the
wreck, pinned to the ground BY iron rods
which Law &C, oss MS legs. With the aid OF
an ak he was cut loose, when II was learn
ed that he was badly hurt about the head,
face and shoulders. 1t was found this
morning that Armsy was hurt internally.
The conductor, Capt. Bradford; brskemen
Thomas Murray and Westbrook we're all
more or less hurt, but not seriously. The
men were brought TO this city, where they
now are. The cars we're thrown OIL the
track to the right and left and badly bro
ken, while both engines remained on the
track.
That the engine which did the damage
was run out upon the track and turned
loose is mere conjecture, as it was seen IN
its wild race By several parties, but no one
was seen in the cab. The hostler claims
to have left it in good condition.
A great many believe the disaster, which
might have ended in the sacrifice OF many
lives, was due to csrelessness or neglect
II the engine had run into the passenger
train which was due somewhat later, doubt
less many lives would have been lost.
The matter will be fully investigated by
the railroad authorities.

BosroN, February THE area st RoI-

The water has risen over a foot since yes

food is the bursting Of the confines OF
Stony Brook, near Norfolk Hill. From
that point the flood has steadily
progressed toward the centre OF the city
proper. Ii has passed Arnold street, the
old Roxbury boundary, aud has reached
Northampton street. The cellars and in
some instances the first floors Of nearly q
thousand houses are flooded. In low sec
tons the houses are almost entirely sub
merged Over $50 families are affected and
conservative estimate OF the loss to
buildings and stock is 100000. The ter
ritory drained by S,oney Brook comprises
many square miles in Jamaica Plains and
Roxbury, and the snow and surface water
on this section mus, oil be added 10 the
flood. AT one point near Frank
lin Park there is 10, OF
ffty acres covered with water three
feet deep, oil OF which must flow OF
through Stony Brook. The mayor. police
commissioners and other city officials are
at work establishing depots OF supplies
and arranging for the relief Of the suffer
ers. A large part of the inhabitants oi
the flooded districts ore still living in the
upper stories OF their houses waiting for
the food TO subside. There have been

Lord, and who will get eternal reward FOL

they were mumbhng out their regrets and

We MUST APPFAR IN JUDGMENT TO ANSWER
for what we have worn on our bodies as
for what repentance We have exercised
with our souls. On that day see coming
