very disastrous railroad accident occurred
near Parkershurg, w Va, Friday of last
week the particulars and extent OF which have
been kept secret. A heavy loaded freight
train crossing a bridge on the Cincinnati
Washington and Baltimore r ,lrosd struck a
COW, derailng the engine and several cars.
The bridge caught FIRE, and gave way, wreck
ing the engine and seventeen cars nine of
which were loaded with OIL The train and
bridge we're completely destroyed except the
cars not yet on the bridge. The escape of the
trainmen was miraculous. TIE loss to the
company is not less than 500, 900.
One evening recently in Buffalo pa ty of
friends were playing quiet little game of po-
ker, when an onlooker at the fun took it into
his head to make calculation The ante was
twenty five cents fiat" with a dollar limit,
and three players. Time was kept once for tif-
teen minutes and again for half an hour. some
time later, and an exact account of the money
that passed back and forwards over the
board. For the first quarter of an hour the
aggregate pots ran up to S65, and in the hall
hour, when the play was liveier, to about
$3.50; yet there was scarcely SIS difference in
The losses or gains. This illustrates one OF the
possibilities of the festive draw.
