EsOrF1bie Accident ON an Eastern
Railway Narrowly Averfed.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 81, 1856
The express train leaving New York at
eleven o'clock last night was saved from
a disastrous and perhaps fatal wreck at
South Norwalk by the prompt working
of the automatic derailing device at the
drawbridge. This train makes but two
stops between New York n New Haven
Stamford and Bridgeport. The train
consisted of an engine, baggage, smoker
and three sleeping cars. 1t left Stamford
on time and was going through to New
Haven at a S0-mile rate when the train
was thrown into the automatic siding
and the engine, tender and baggage car
were thrown from the rails, the engine
turning completely over. The engineer,
Harrison by name, and his fireman
jumped from the cab and escaped with
a shaking up. None of the passengers
was hurt. The railroad officials will
hold an investigation to determine
whether or no the engineer of the train
disregarded a signal set against him.

The divisional officers of the St. Cloud
& Fergus Falls division of the Great
Northern have been notified that they
will be removed to Melrose, where the
DIVISION now is, between the present
time and the first day of May. 1t is
probable that the superintendent office,
the trainmaster's office and the dis
patcher's office, which are all that re-
main of the original division. will be
removed to Melrose about the 26th or
2S.h inst. The change is not appreci-
ated by those whom it will effect. They
had hoped TO be permitted to remain ia
St. Cloud at least until the several
houses now being built at Melrose were
completed. The general manager was
in the city yesterday however and it is
supposed that it was while he was here
that the order was given removing the
division officials to Melrose. The new

FRANK G. CARPENTER, in Washing
ton letter has this to say of Senator
Davis:
Now we Sc. the form and features of
one OF the best-known men of the great
North vest, the great LAWYER OF St. Paul,
and man who can make, it is said,
from $25, 900 to $4,000 year at his
practice. his name is Cushman K. Da-
Wis, and, though he has wit hdrawn from
the presidential race, his name may yet
be mentioned among those which come
up at St. Louis. Cush Davis is curl
GUS looking man. He is very tall. His
shoulders are slightly bent, and his little
semi-bald head is fastened to them by a,
short neck. He is one of the most stud
1ous men OF the senate, and one OF the
best read. He has one of the finest pri-
vate libraries of the country. He is a
great lover of books, and when he wants
to rest from his studies he drops what
he is at and takes up some work in
different literary line. When he is tired
OF thinking of politics he translates lot
of Virgil or Horace for a change, and
when he inds-as he does sometimes, l
iuns tagging, he holsters himself up by
reading the life of Alexander the Great
or that of julius Caesar. TO HIM the
greatest man who ever lived was Napo-
leon. He was an admirer of Bonaparte
long before the present craze concerning
him broke out. He has already about
400 Napoleonic books in his library. and
and he is always picking up more.
