THE CAUSE.

The accident was caused by broken rail
under the baggage car. The baggage car
got off the track about quarter OF mile
before it reached the bridge at Hurricane
river. The baggage car mounted the track
but the train passed safely over the bridge.
Immediately on the other side of
the bridge there is d trestle
several hundred feet in length. When the
baggage car struck the trestle work it gave
way, and the entire train, with
the exception of the engine, dropped
through, and except one car vas completely
wrecked. The train consisted of combi-
nation car, three baggage cars, smoking car,
one coach, two Pullman sleepers, and the
private car OF the Lehigh Valley. The second
ergine ran to Blackshear, mile distant.
for assistance. Soon all the physicians in
the place were present, besides many who
were ready to render assistance in getting
out the dead ard rcscUing the wounded.
Superintendent FemiIE, of the railroad, as
soon as he heard Of the accident, left Sa-
vannah for the scene with physicians and
nurses. All Afternoon, and evening he had
a full force of hands clearing away the
wreck. About four hundred feet of trestle
was carr. a"ny. Up TO midnight the
only contamination wi' ii the scene of the

despite the excitement of the past few days
the Emperor is free from fever and that no

by the New York Associated Press. The
authorities, military and municipal, are
unanimously congra tuated by the press
upon the circumstance tAat, after one Of
the greatest public pageants ever seen,
there is no record of accidents. Intense
anxiety over the condition of Emperor
Frederick already overpowers the impress
sion OF yesterdays sombre magnfcence.
In the highest official circles the question
asked-is not what the Emperor's policy
may be, but how long he will live to dis
close any policy. Wanton gossip attrib-
utes his intention to change the per.
sonnel OF the Government in opposi-
ton to Prince Bismarck. In reality, so
far as the Emperor has yet dore
anything, he has simply confirmed the
official status elsewhere. Nothing ind-
Gates any material change in the Govern

Prince Bismarck The Emperor, though
able to work continuously for several
hours, works under the knowledge of his
own sentence OF death and that his doom is
so near that it would be folly to try to

Federal Hospitals in 1864,

I am back again in Washington, on my
regular daily and nightly sounds. OF course
there IRE many specialries Dotting a ward
here and there are always cases of poor
fellows, long suffering under obstinate
wounds or weak and disheartened from
typhoid fever, or the like; marked cases,
needing special and sympathetic nourish-
nont. These | sit down and either Xix to
or silently cheer them up. They always like
it hugely land 50 do L. Each case has its pc
culiarites, and needs some new adaptation.
| have learnt to thus conform-earnt a
good deal of hospital wisdom. Some of the
poor young chaps, away from home for the
first time in their lives, hunger and thirst for
affection; this Is sometimes the only thing
that will reach their condition. The men
like to have pencil and something to write
in. l have given them cheap pocket diaries.
and almanacs for 1864 interleaved with blank
paper
For reading I generally have some old pic
torial magazines or story papers--they are
always acceptable. Also the morning or
evening papers of the day. The best books
do not give, but lend to read through the
wards, and then take them to others and so
on; they are very punctral about returning
the books. In these wards, or on the field, as
l thuS commune TO go round, L have come to
adapt myself TO each emergency, after its
kind or call, however trivial however sol
emn, every one justified and made real under
its circumstances; not only visits and cheer
ing talk and little gifts, not only washing
and dressing wounds Il have some cases where
the patient is unwilling any one should do
this but mel, but passages from the Bible, ex-
pounding them, prayer at the bedside ex-
plantations Of doctrine, etc. Il think l see
my friends smiling at this confession. but
was never more III earnest in my life In
camp and everywhere | was in the habit Of
reading or giving recitatons to the men,
They were very fond of it, and liked declam-
ntory poctical pieces We would gather in a
largo group by ourselves after supper and
spend the time in such readings, or in talk
ing, and occasionally by an amusing game

There was rumor ahoat in London to the
effect that an increased allowance would be
asked for on behalf of the Prince of Wales and
his family during the autumn session. If it
proves true, the proposal will undoubtedly
receive several black eyes. Economists
argue that there is no call for this additional
expense. The queen has an annuity drawn
from the consolidated fund Of 81 ,925 900,
which is especially allotted to meet those ex-
penses connected with her high position, the
partial weight OF which has been transferred
to the heir apparent. But that Is only por-
ton of the enormous income which good for
tune and frugal habits have placed at the dis
posal of the head of tho royal family. The
new Domesday book discloses tho fact that
tho queens private estates extend over 81, =
372 acres the annual rental, even at tho
lately deprecated prices, being $500 G5j.
Some years ago her majesty, acting under
the advice of Lord Sydney, purchased the
Claremont estate for the sum of $500, 600 es-
tinlatod at the time as being LITTLE over half
its market value, 1t is said to be worth
today at least $750000
The queen also possesses property at Co
burg and the Villa Hohenlohe at Baden. AS
to personal property, there was the bequest
Of quarter of a million left to her majesty
by Sir James Camden Neild. This will was
proved in 1852, and the bequest must now
have reached magnificent proportions. Then
there was the property left by the prince
consort, estimated to have reached nearly
5000 900, but as this will was never proved
and so escaped probate duty, the exact
amount is not known. These items are over
and above the queens annual savings. The
aggregate money sum at her majssty's dis
posal for family purposes would hence APP
pear to be, at the lowest computation, such
as renders unnecessary national solicitude on
the subject. Tho Prince Of Wales will
hardly get the new allowance under those
crcumstances.-Lond Cor. New York

A NEWSPAPER VICTIMIZED.
A Democratic Appeal Appears in a Re
publican Organ.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 6.-The most lu-
dicrous event of the campaign took place
here to-day, and is the talk of the town.
The Globe-D emocrat is the victim, and
this is the way it came about; Late Sun
day night, after Editor McCullagh had
gone home and one sleepy clerk sat doing
in the counting room, two unknown men
entered. They produced Republic proof
sheet of a our-column advertisement, in
which the democratic State ticket headed
by Mayor Francis was praised as only
cunning tlatterer can praise. On the
other hand, theirepublican State ticket was
denounced. The men bought the first
page of the Clio and the "ad. appeared
this !morning. 1t produced panic among
the republicans, and the Office was flooded
with orders to stop the paper. 1t was
rumored that the Globe had Topped into
the democratic fold and committees were
appointed and Indignation meetings held.
The Globe Democrat finally issued an eX.
ira this evening, in which it explained
how the error occurred, and said it was
still true to the republican party. This
quelled some of the panic, but the effect
will be disastrous to the Missouri repub
licans.

AUNT MARTHA" GRAYSON.


An Incident Connected with One of Eggle-
Bton's Charactcrs-A Hearty Greeting.
II seems to me fitting to tho story Of Tho
Graysons' to publish n little incident con
lrcted with "Aunt Martha" that came under
my personal observation. The incident Of
which | speak occurred when Lincoln and
Douglas were making their famous tour of
Illinois, and were to speak at Havana, Mason
county, Ills.
About 6 o'clock on tho day previous there
came to the house of the friend with whom
was stopping an old lady, who had walked
do not know how many miles to see dear Old
Abe" She wore calico sun bonnet and
clean dark calico dress of rather scant pro-
portions, and was toilworn and withered, but
withal had such kindly face that ono forgot
her homely attire and bacliwoo1s manners.
She talked necessarily of Mr.. Lincoln, al
ways calling him "Oll Abe and was so
eager and trembling in her desire to see him
that could not help wondering what possible
interest She could have in him, or he in her
/ learned that Lincoln, years before, had
saved the life of her son, who was accused Of
murder, and no scrap of evidence seemed
possible to save him from the galows. Here
then, was the mother of the young man

Old Abe when he leaves the boat she said
over and over again; land want TO tell him
how glad | am that he has become so
great"
Sho did not wait for the steam whistle to
herald his coming. With trembling fingers
She tied the strings of her sun bonnet under
her chin, lighted her pipo-Tm sure I'm not
mistaken in this-and hurried nervouslv
away, saying as she left, II must be the first
to take him by the hand And sure enough
she was. The whistle blew, the crowd
surged down to the landing, but the old lady
was already there, No sooner was the plank
thrown out thnn "Aunt Martha stepped
upon it, and was indeed the first to meet and
greet "Old Abe
She came back to tho house shortly after,
