IN FRONT OF MOVING CARS.
Parties Attempting to Cross Track Had
 Narrow Escape From Injury.

James Stafford, Mrs. Peyton and her little grand child, who live at Acorn, came very near meeting with serious accident about 2 o'clock this afternoon while attempting to cross the railroad tracks on De Queen street in front of some moving cars being handled by the switch engine.
 As Mir. Stafford approached the track he saw the approaching cars but as they were moving slowly he thought he would have time to cross in front of them, but just as he got on the track his horse stopped and before he could get the animal started again the cars struck the wagon. Both Mir. Stafford and Mrs. Peyton escaped by jumping and the little child who was knocked from the wagon by the force of the blow was picked up by Deputy Marshal Philpot who ran up just as the accident happened.
 Aside from a sprained wrist re- ceived by Mrs. Peyton none of the occupants of the wagon or even the horse was hurt.
 The wagon was completely wrecked, not spoke being left in any of the wheels.

Panic on FerrybOat

San Francisco, April 2S.-A panic was narrowly averted on the ferryboat Piedmont Thursday as the vessel was making trip to this city. Thousands of refugees had crowded both decks of the steamer until standing room was at premium. At point opposite Goat Island the paddle wheel struck an abandoned scow, with a resounding crash. The noise threw the passengers into state of alarm Many of them ran to the side of the boat, which listed heavily to starboard. The cry went up that the boat was capsizing and q mad rush was made for the life preservers. The officers were unable to cope with the throng. and it was not until the vessel had been safely docked that order was restored.
