ACCIDENT.

A PASSENGER TRAIN ON THE AND ALIA ROAD RUNS OFF THE TRACK

AND SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

A Tramp Whose Traveling is .Done on the Mail Car Meets His End in the Wreck.

About half past three o'clock this morning, as mail train No. 5 was passing Bellville, a small way station this side of Indianapolis, it ran off of the track, completely wrecking the engine and demolishing the express car. The engineer, Nick Dodson, had his leg broken in two places below the knee joint, but the doctor things amputation unnecessary, as by proper treatment the limb can be saved. The fireman, Barney Mullen, escaped with some slight bruises. A tramp who was on the front end of the mail car, stealing a ride, was badly crushed, and reports have been received later statiug that he died from the severity of liis wounds. No other persons were, injured very much, although all on the train suffered a severe shaking up. The cause of the accident, as near authenticated as we could get it, was as follows: The switchman at the station, while asleep, heard the train coming, and while in this condition jumped from his bed and threw the switch and did not awaken until the dam age was done. The train was running at the rate of forty miles an hour, and as soon as Mr. Dodson comprehended the situation he turned on the air, but not in time to save the destruction of the train. The wounded parties were brought to town by special train at 11 o'clock this morjttiug.

T, DIANAPOLIS.

The Wheat Crop in the Northwest—The National Fete at Paris.

Floods out West.

DENVER, COL., July 12.—This evening Cherry Creek, which is usuallv a very small stream, raised five feet. The water came down with a rush, rising afoot in ten minutes. No damage was done in the city except the weakening of the bridge. It is thought that the Colorado Central bridge will be swept awav before morning. The rise was probably caused by a water-spout in the mountains.

The Tribune's Pueblo special says: The worst flood in the mountains since 1868 occurred to-day. A torrent of water came down with a rush, carrying everything before it. Thirty persons were camping in the river bottoms all escaped but one, The railroad was washed out twenty miles from town.

DENVER, July 14.—Further reports of yesterday and Monday night's storms say that ten miles of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad is washed away between Pueblo and Colorado Springs, ahd every bridge, culvert and cattle guard for about twenty-one miles is damaged. A large force is at work, and the road will probably be in running order again to-night. Bear Creek, a mountain stream, emptying into the Platte river, was also.flooded by the terrific storm, hail stones falling to the depth of from two to three feet. No lives lost.

iNDiANATOLis,

July 14.—The Irish Na

Two hundred and fifty delegates were present, representing Kentucky, Virginia, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin and New York. Judge A. L. Morrison, of Illinois. was chosen temporary chairman,

porary secretary. Judge Morrison's speech was brief" and pointed. He said that business of vital importance would come before the convention, and urged the necessity of brevity in all the speeches. Cbmmittces on credentials, on address and resolutions, on permanent organization and on political information were appointed, with instructions to report tomorrow morning. An invitation from the Irish Republican Club of this

City

participate in the torchlight procession at the reception of Hon. A. G- Porter, Republican candidate for Governor, tonight, was accepted, and the convention adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow.

Hon. A. G. Porter Republican candidate for Governor, arrived home at 4 o'clock this evening from Washington by special train. At all the stations from the time he entered the State, he was reeted by enthusiastic crowds. Upon ^is arrival in this city he was met by the Young Men's Republican Club, and a vast number of citizens, who escorted him to the Grand Hotel. Upon reaching his residence another crowd of neighbors aud friends greeted him. At 9 o'clock he was escorted to the place for speaking by a torch light procession of the Irish Republican Ciub, where an immense audience was in waiting, and he was formally wel corned by Gen. Ben Harrison, to which Mr. Porter responded in a lengthy address.

Knox County Politics.

VINCENNES, July 14.—General Garfysld's letter of acceptance is received by the Republicans here as a campaign key note of no uncertain sound. The sentence therein, "Our paper currency is now as national as the flag," will be inscribed upon ten thousand banners during the canvass, and will present a striking contrast to the sentiments of the Democratic party, that declared only a few years ago that the greenback would go out among the pco pie a bastard, with the mark of Cain stamped thereon.

PARIS, July 14.—The grand opening ceremony of the national fete tookjjlace in the hippodrome at Longcliamps this afternoon. President Grevy, accompanied by a brilliant staff, reviewed the troops and delivered the new colors to the regiment in the presence of 100,000 people.

NEW ALBANY, July 14.—A prominent Pennsylvania politician, who resides at General Hancock's old town in that State, is on a business visit to New Albany. A correspondent interviewed him to day, as follows:

Correspondent—Will Hancock carry Pennsylvania? Mr. Wi—No, sir. Pennsylvania is as certain for Garfield as Iowa. He will beat Hancock thirty to forty thousand votes. Nothing can be more sure than this, and the majofity may be sixty thousand

CHICAGO,

July 14.-*The latest returns

from the agricultural restricts tributary to this market, while very conflicting, seem to establish pretty clearly that in the whole Northwest the winter wheat crop is saved in good order, and with about an average yield that the spring wheat crop as a rule, less to the acre than last year, but that the increased average will make the yield somewhat greater than that of 1879, provided the weather becomes a little more favorable. The universal report respecting corn, is that condition is excellent ana the prospects for good crop is as good as ever before.

Ilnpplness Short Lived.

On Monday afternoon a blushing couple entered the office of Esquire Pease, and. producing a marriage license, requested that the ceremony oe immediately performed which was necessary to mate the damsel the better-half of her sterner com panion. In compliance with their request the knot was tica, and the husband and wife departed hand in hand. Twentyfour hours later John O. Moore, an attorney, was approached in his office by an excited couple, tvho demanded in concert that he file suit for divorce for each one of them against the other. Both were terribly in earnest and, on being questioned, explained that they hail gone on a spree together the day before, and had been married by Esquire Pease while they were so much under the influence of of corn juice that they were not cognizant of what was taking placc.—Indiamtpolis Journal.

A Runaway Husband.

Detroit Free Press.

One day last week a man residing in TCast Toledo, Ohio, skipped from his family and brought up in Detroit. His wife got a clue to his whereabonts and came on after him, and yeterday she had an interview with him at the ceutral station. where he had been run in for the purpose. She had no tears to shed. On tlie Con-„ trary her hair had a fighting bang, and as feoon as she could get her breath she be in: "So.

human being, you skipped out did you?" No reply. "After had washed and scrubbed and sewed for nearly twenty years to support you, you got tired of your family, did you? Our style of living wasn't tony enough to suit vou, and you wanted a diamond pin and a cane!" "Say. Lucy, I'm sorry," he mumbled. "Well, I ain't! she snapped. "No, sir! On the contrary, Tm glad of it! You've fchewed tobacco and a rank whisky and whittled shingles and loafed on tlie c6rners at my expense justras long as you ever willl "What do you want of me, then?" "Want of you? Why, I want to clear my character! All our neighbors say that you ran away from mo, and some pity-3 me and some laugh, You run away from me! Why, you low-down corner loafer, you coulcin't run away from anything but a spade or an ax. I followed youJto get,' this matter straight. I've got to liv"there, and I'm not going to be pitied or laughed at!" "What do you want!" he asked. "Here's what I want!" she said, as she seized his collar and twisted him around. "Now take that—and that—and that— and I'll have these officers sign a paper^ that I found you and kicked you out to' take care of yourself! Now you git!' Don't ever write to me. don't ever dare to come back to me! Even if I hear that you tell anybody that you were married to me I'll buy a shot-gun and hunt for you!"

The husband sneaked out doors and down the street, and the wife, having the docs' in he pocket, walked the others way. muttering to herself: "Skipped out! Run away from his-1 family! Well, his old shirts will make a mop worth twice the value of his Whole ,, boay! Now, I want to see somn one grinsr in the face of this testimonial that I raised*? him right off his heels!" ,, ^j
