RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
\ Broken Rail Wrecks the North
Bound Mail.

On Wednesday morning last the north
bound mail and passenger train due here
AT 6.29 did not arrive until nearly nine
o'clock. The cause of the delay was the
derailing of the train about one mile

ming along at the usual rate of speed.
When in about one mile of stockton, the
engineer felt his engine jcrkcd backward,
and looking back lie saw the tender and
baggage car jump the track nj the pas
senger car go rolling off int the ditch,
turning over ON its side. Investigation
showed that The weather had affected one
Of the rails, and when il WIS struck by
the engine il broke into SIX pieces. There
were only three passengers ON the train
and only one of them, George f. Mum
ford, OF Grecnbackvile, was hurt His
left wrist was badly cut by being forced
through one of the car windows. The
other passengers and the train men were
more or less scratched, and one of them
had his clothing slightly burned. DIR.

New Style of Coon-Hunting.

The inhabitants of the mountains
west Of this place are great coon-hunt-
ers. Some nights ago Bill Benchoil
and Col. Yingling started out with
half-a- dozen dogs and two boys to
carry the pine torches. \ coon was
raised on the east side of the Mon
terey, and the dogs chased it down
through deep and rough ravine and
up rocky spur on the west. After a
climb of an hour Benchof and Iing-
ling at last came up with the dogs.
They had run the coon into tree and
we're snarling and barking around un-
derneath. The boys whirled the
torches and Benchoif banged away at
what he supposed was the coon, but
no animal tumbled
lingling in the meantime had been
tearing paper and trying to ignite a
match, but it was damp and would
only splutter Benchofi' was deriding
hm when suddenly great ball of fire
Illuminated space lingling had
succeeded in lighting his match and
was emptyine a roman candle into the
tree.
The first ball struck branch and
burst and the second hit the coon
"plumb-centre. its iur caught fire,
and with yell it came rolling among
the angry dogs. The third ball revealed
two more coons in the tree, and Ben
choirs rifle dropped one, while Ying-
ling, with the last ball in the candle,
hit the limb on which the coon chung
with pitiiul terror, and it lost its hold
and tumbled into the mouths Of the
waiting dogs.
They got six more coons that night
with the help Of Yingling's candles,
and now the Colonel regularly shoots
the Romans aud Benchoif shoots the
gun. They are the most successful
coon hunters in all the region.--Get-
