THE MAMMOTH CAVE EXCUR 8ION. The Mammoth Cave party returned last night all safe. They were on the train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, night before last, which col lided with a southern bound train Two cars were badly wrecked. Two persons were killed, and six or seven badly injured.

It is tid that the accident was caused by the engineer of the southern bound train, which train ran into the cars of the other before it got on the switch he not slopping his train in time when be reached the station. It is also said he whistled down br.ikes and reversed his engine sooner than usual, but the engine was new and unusually large and, being run for the first time, the momentum of the train carried bin# considerably beyond the point at which it would have stopped under ordinary circumstances.

We give below an account of the col lision from the pen of one of the Terre Haute party:

We left Glasgow Junction at 7:30 p. Wednesday, to be home to breakfast. But alas, for the Irullty of man's calculations, the Jaws of death were opened and nearly swallowed the whole party. About seven miles from Louisville, when all were impa tient to move faster than thirty miles an hour, and get home,'our train was slacked up to go on aside tiack and let the down express pass. But, too late, the locomotive, Osggage car and part of the smoking car were on the switch when the express struck the rear end of the first car, hurling it oit the track, tearing through the next ear smashing it to atom?. The engine struck the last car which contained our party Your correspondent was resting comfortably in the arms of Morpheus, when a piece of a iamp struck him on the head, he was aroused to look out and see a demon in the shape of an engine's head-light glarln" Into our front door and shoving our car backwards over the cross-ties at a fearful rate, For a few minutes all was suspense and dreadful dread. Seats were smashed as easy as pasteboard boxes, bodies were hurled around like feathers, and all was crash and confusion. Should your correspondent live a hundred years he will never forget ihe suspense of that ride of two hundr-d yards, expecting every moment the car would break to pieces and crush its burden of pre clou» freight. But the turning of the track under the broken cars threw the engiue off the track and all was over. A few moments of examination served to show that by an interposition of Piovidence none of the party were hurt seriously, and we could look to helping the wouned in the other cars. A wait of five hours uutll a train could come from Louisville, was dreadful at that scene of wreck aud disaster that no pen can describe as it looked to the observer. At last came relief, and all were packed up and moved on. A quick and careful run brought the party to Louisville where they were glad enough to rest until 3 P. M., and retuin home last night by 10:15 p. M.

STREET PA VINO.

EDITOR MAIL:—There has been great deal of discussion in regard to street pavements, but still there appears to be no settled opinion as to the best for any particular locality. Having paid considerable attention to this subject I would suggest the propriety ol trying on one square of one ot the principal streets, the following plan:

First, prepare the sub grade properly, so that it shall be twelve inches below the top when completed and settled. Next, pave it all over from gutter to gutter with sfcmie not ovfr irine Inched long, putting the butt end of each stone down on the sub grade and fitting them together so that they will be ulose and firm at the bottom, but open and pointed at the top, leaving spaces between, to bo filled up. And lastly fill all the open space between the pavement with good JkicAdamizing, up to,and corresponding with the proper grade of the street. A street well constructed upon this plan would have great strength, would wear evenly and last with little repair, a great many years. I have no doubt it would give satisfaction and prove in the end more economical than any of the various expedients that are being tried. The stone used should be the hardest limestone that can be got—but the fragments of a quarry being the kind of stono required, they can be obtained at moderate cost—and by making a foundation in the way proposed, it will not require a great amount of McAdamizing to fill up the spacesand cover up the stone to the grade of the street. A few months use and attention during that time will give an even, smooth, clean and hard surface that will keep its shape with little attention for many years.
