Additional Local News.
ANOTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—Just after the GAZETTE was put to press yesterday evening, we received information that a collision had taken place on the Vandalia Railroad. The information we have regarding the matter is this The passenger train which passe3 through this city early in the morning, readied Greenviile about noon. At the same time a train of empty cars from the west arrived there. This train, it is said, should have taken the switch, as usual, but instead of doing so at once, ran forward and attempted to back on the side track. Before this could be accomplished, a passenger train bound east, came around the curve at that place, and the trains collided. Of course the engines were badly wrecked, and great injury done to the train. The Messenger of the Adams Express Company, Mr. M. P. Meashaem, was killed outright, and Michael Kennedy, a baggageman, badly injured. Mr. Maashaem was engaged to be married, and lately came from New York, and was placed on a run from this city to St. Louis. If there were others injured we did not learn of them. The above is substantially the statement furnished us in regard to the disaster, and it is believed to be correct. Of course the matter will be fully investigated by the oflicers of the road. There were many vague rumors about the collision of the trains oil the streets yesterday evening, but after careful inquiry, we obtained the statement above given. Certainly no blame can attach to the officers of the road, but it would appear that the gentleman having charge of the train of empty cars was culpable, in that he did not obey orders, but we forbear comment until all the facts are learned in connection with the disaster.
WATER WORKS.—Mr. Henry P. W. Birkinbine and T. T. Woodruff, of Philadelphia, are in the city, looking after supplying this city with water. Mr. Woodruff is known to many of our citizens, he having resided here some years ago, and is favorably known as the inventor of the sleeping cars.
These gentlemen desire to introduce their system of water works, in opposition to the Holly water works, claiming for theirs great superiority over the latter. We are glad they are here, for by a brisk competition, the city will, in all probability, secure the best works and at the proper figures. We ask the city authorities to examine the two systems thoroughly, and be sure, if possible, to select the best. It is a matter of too much importance to be lightly considered.
We are promised, in a few days, from those gentlemen themselves, a communication giving a lull explanation of their system, which we will lay before our readers as soon as received. In the meantime, we will keep the readers of the GAZETTE fully posted in relation to this matter.
THEATRICAL ENTERTAINMENTS. A dispatch from Indianapolis, received today, announces that Edwin Browne, Manager for the Katie Putnam Metropolitan Company, will open Dowling Hall on next Monday night, October 81st, for a season of six nights. This will be good news for tiie lovers of the drama in Terre Haute. Miss PUTNAM is one of the most charming actresses connected with the American stage—equalling, it is said, the renowned Lotta—and playing all her characters with a spirit which captivates all hearts. In light comedy she has no superior—besides being a vocalist of rare taste and excellence. Mr. Browne, himself an actor of acknowledged merit, is accompanied by a good stock company, and the public may count on having all plays presented in a manner never equalled in Terre Haute. Miss Putnam will close an engagementat the Academy of Music, Indianapolis, on to-morrow night.
DOWNING HALL.—To-night at Dowling Hall, Professor Hasselmayer will give one of his inimitable entertainments, and during the evening will introduce 24 educated canary birds, which will do all sorts of comic tricks. He will introduce also, his wonderful instrument, the "stylocarfe," a strange and novel instrument, which lias been spoken of in high terms of praise as a truly wonderful instrument. His "drum," and the "serial bell," surpass the spirit rappings, while his tricks as an illusionist are not equaled we believe, in the world. A grand family matinee will be given at 2:30 p. Jr. ou Saturday. Remember that he will exhibit for the last time on Saturday night.
ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE.—Yesterday evening about seven o'clock, Mr. Thomas Pendegast was assisting in removing some cars on Williams' Switch, a few miles this side of Brazil, and had the misfortune to be caught under the wheels of one of the care, killing him instantly. Both arms and one leg were cut off, and in fact, the body was literally cut in pieces. The deceased was a hard working, industrious and sober man, resided at Staunton, and leaves a wife and two children. It was purely an accident, no blame attaching to any one.
LUKE SCHOOLCRAFT'S new company will be on here Saturday evening at the Academy of Music, and will give a grand variety entertainment at that hall. Mr. Schoolcraft has manifested a commendable enterprise, in his effort to secure a company that will please those who attend a variety theater, and they will be glad to Jearn that lie has been successful. Schoolcraft is a host in himself on the boards.
BLANK BOOKS.—We have just completed for the National State Bank a Ledger, that for beauty of finish, and for general workmanship we are willing to place alongside of any job in the line ever done in the State. Persons who coutemplate having a set of books made would do well to call at the Bank and see the book before sending elsewhere.

BERLIN, October 27.
King William telegraphs to the Queen to-day what is regarded as the most important event of the war viz: That Bazaine and Metz had capitulated, with one huhdred and fifty thousand prisoners, including many thousand sick and wounded. The army and garrison laid down their arms this afternoon. This is justly regarded as the most important event of the war.
Prussians Demand flic Surrender of Verdun. LONDON, October 27.
The Prussians investing Verdun recently sent a communication to the Mayor of the town, demanding its surrender. The Mayor indignantly refused, inviting the Prussians, if they thought it was to become an easy prey, to come forward and take it.
Bazainc Sot Bead.
Rumors are again current in the Prussian army investing the city of Metz, that Bazaine was dead, but they are now proven false. The activity of the garrison had greately increased lately, and the Prussians have been compelled to destroy the bridge at Aus Sur Morelle as a precautionary measure. The French make vigorous sorties whenever they can see the slightest opportunity for advantage. They have also reopened their artillery on the besiegers from the right bank of the Moselle, whereby the villages of Grigney and Coincy, which gave the Prussians shelter, have been utterly destroyed.
Among the persons lately arrested at Versailles by the Prussians was Le Sound, former Secretary of the French Legation at Berlin, who delivered to the Prussian Government the French declaration of war. He was sent to Mayence.
No doubt the Provisional Government will soon be obliged to leave Tours. Arrangements are now being made for transferring the national headquarters to Clermont in the department of Puy do Dome.
The Prussians are persevering in their starvation policy at Paris and Metz. All fugitives lrom those cities are turned back.
The English Government is still without reply from the Prussian authorities to the request for safe conduct for Thiers to enter Paris. England accepts this delay as indicative of an indisposition on the part of Prussia to grant the proposed armistice. St. Itenny Sur Avair Occupied by the
Prussians. NONANCOURT, October 27.
The Prussians are at Dreux, in the Department of Eure Et Loire, with 12,000 men and much artillery. They are pillaging the shops there. They have also occupied St. Renny Sur Avair.
TOURS, October 27.
Thus far no safe conduct has been forwarded from Prussian headquarters for Thiers. It is asserted here that Prussia's disinclination in this respect proceeds from her fear of having the Parisians informed of the true state of affairs elsewhere in France. The Prussians have thus far taken extraordinary pains to conceal from the beleaguered city the capacity of France for resistance. From all parts of the country there comes but one expression—the hope that the Government will accept no humiliating conditions as the price of peace. The journals of this city are unanxious that the only hope for fair terms lies in an indefinite prosecution of the war.
In the east the Prussian army has been suddenly and decisively stopped. Their march upon Lyons has been checked by the victories of the French under Garibaldi. The latter, ever since he took command, has aided vigorously in taking many prisoners and cannon, and accomplished the object for which he set forth.
The Prussians in Normandy and in the Vosges find it extremely difficult to move their artillery. It is remarked that the more difficulties the Prussians are compelled to encounter the more inhumanly they treat the French inhabitants, needlessly destroying farming utensils, looms and manufactories, tearsng down dwellings, killing horses and cattle, and destroying the food they cannot eat or carry away.
The Franc-tireurs take advantage of the bad weather to inflict severe losses on the enemy.
The Mayor of Montdidier has been dismissed from the office for cowardice. The Prussians at Dreux have levied a tax of fifty thousand francs on the people. Strewy, in the Department of Eure et Loire, has also been occupied by the enemy.
It is announced the Prussians have at last consented to offer Thiers a safe conduct to Versailles, but no further. Thiers has refused to avail himself of this, as he must first confer with the Government at PftTlS*
The newly appoiuted Director of Public Safety has issued a circular address to the Prefects of the several departments, announcing that such parties who furnish provisions for the enemy willingly and with the hope of gain, are to be tried by
court-martial
as traitors.
Gambetta has also notified the Prefects that they

The inhabitants of the departments of Jura and the Vosges have forwarded petitions to the authorities here against the acceptance of any peace basis on the surrender of an inch of French territory.
ST. PETERSBURG, October 27.
The following summary of negotiations on the part of the neutral powers of Europe for an armistice is published from an authentic source:
After reciting the determination of the neutrals to seize the first opportunity for mediation that presents itself, the document proceeds: "Russia, on Jules Favre's visit to Prussian headquarters, believed that the long looked for opportunity had arrived. At this moment the receipt of the Prussian note on the subject of the probable early starvation of Paris, caused a change in the idea of the neutrals. When, however, they pressed the subject of mediation against Russia held back, on the ground that mediation, unsupported by France, would be worthless. The conditions of peace must be left exclusively to the belligerents. The course was still possible to convoke a national as«emby, which alone was compe tent to decide the question of peace or war. In view of these considerations it was England that proposed the armistice, and in this she was supported by all the neutral powers." f.crinaiis Repulsed.
BLOIS, October 20.
Strong columns of the enemy, cavalry and infantry, attacked the French reconnoitering party on the left bank of the Loire yesterday, butjwere handsomely repulsed alter a short engagement.
V&'sisUbiiriic Protecting Englislimcn. TOURS, Octobcr 27. The English at Paris are under the protection of Washburne, as the British Government has not recognized the Republican Government, and has no authority to act.
Terms of Peace. LONDON, October 27.
The Manchester Guardian gives the following as the terms of peace which are proposed by England, Russia and Austria: First, no cession of territory second, the forttfications of Metz and Strasbourg to be razed third, France to pay two hundred millions of francs indemnity. The neutrals are to guarantee peace. Ksn^ William will Accept the Mediation oi' .Neutral Powers.
TOURS, October 27.
The Russian Minister at this place has received a. dispatch from Versailles assuring him of safe conduct to be granted to Thiers, and that the King of Prussia shows a desire to accept the mediation of the neutral powers.
Tlie Loan.
Of the loan announced yesterday, many shares were subscribed i'or here to-day. The success of this financial measure increases the confidence in the Government here.
The French Take Prisoners.
Dispatches from Lyons report a decided halt in the advance of the Prussians in the eastern department. The French there have taken 800 prisoners.
D031EHTIC.
More Mob Iiaw.
BLOOMINGTON, IND., October, 27. On the night of the 25th inst., fifty men went to the house of a Mr. Bartlet, six miles from this city, and after pulling him out of his bed, kicked and abused him in the most shameful manner, and ordering him to leave the county within ten days under penalty of being hun giving as a reason for their conduct that himself and a daughter were preparing to commence a bastardly suit against one of their number. The mob are supposed to belong to a gang of regulators infesting this part of the State. Preparations still groins' on to Prevent
Frauds ut tlie Election iiiXciv York,
NEW YORK, October 27.
Preparations are being made at the Marine Barracks for the occupation of a detachment of marines from Washington, Philadelphia and Boston Navy Yards. There will be about eight companies of marines called here, to remain until the election is over, in pursuance of orders from Washington. The forte now in the barracks numbers about three hundred men, all in a high state of efficiency. Reinforcements to be sent over will doubtless swell the number to seven or eight hundred men.
Edward Faquins and John Murphy, two Democratic inspectors, were held to bail for registering two men who were peremptorily challenged. An attempt will be made to-morrow by counsel to have Theodore Allen admitted to bail, under the operation of a writ of habeas corpus.
Democrats sire Jubilant.
The Democrats had a grand torchlight procession to-night, estimated to contain 150,000 men, followed by an immense ratification meeting in Tammany Hall, Union Square, and Fourteenth street, at which speeches Avere made by Gov. Seymour, Hon. Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana, Hon. James M. Thayer, Hon. W. M. Tweed and others. The demonstration was quite remarkable in size and enthusiasm.
Itaces at Anderson—1Third Day. ANDERSON, IND., October 27.
To-day, being the third of the Trotting Association, -vvas the most exciting of the week. Tlie races were between horses that had never made better time than 2:40. The entries were Nasby, Bundy, Susan, Pocahontas and Moxley. At the sixtli heat, Pocahontas having taken two heats, Moxley two, and Susan and Nasby one each, darkness intervened, and the conclusion of the race was deferred until to-morrow, at 10 A. M. At 2 p. M. to-morrow the big trot for $500 will take place. The entries are Lou Louder, Silas Rich and Black Frank.
Tlie English Mission. •_
WASHINGTON, October 27.
In consequence of a protracted interview, known to have been held betwen the President and Postmaster General Creswell, yesterday, public opinion inclines to the belief that the position of Minister to England has been tendered Creswell. Notwithstanding this impression, Creswell denies the statement.
Mention is again made of General Schenck and General Butler in the same connection but as nobody knows the contingencies that may arise, all speculation is now at fault. It is authoritatively stated, however, that the English Mission was indirectly offered to Wendell Phillips, and by him declined. 2^?

In the City Court, ex-Mayor George Cahoon was convicted of uttering a forgery, and his punishment assessed at four years in the State prison.
