A Kcjcawat Locomotive. Narrow LV
rajx atil Scrums Wreck. Au accident souie
Vit.at destructive in its results occurred to
the tugino of Mr. Junes Doran, on Saturday
tnoria.ig last, while doceudiug the eastern
.lope of the mountain. It teems that Jlr.
jvrari had aissi.-ted in hauling the Cincinnati
Express w-t, and while in the vicinity of
Kittaojing Point, on his return trip to Al
toona, the brake chain ou his eugine snapped
asunder. Wi ll gieat prebenco of mind Mr.
Uorau ievc-s d Ids engine iuiuiediately, but
liie btrain on the rtoam chests was too severe
ftiid the result was th.it one of them exploded,
tt.ua rendeiing him powerless to control it.
The grade bete is about ninety feet to the
mile, ai.d it required but a few moments fur
the engine -to attain a fearful momentum,
and Mr. Doran ar.J bis fireman were com
pelled to abandon, it. At this tiuio its speed
could not have b.-eu less thau forty miles per
Lour, and it is a matter of astoLishment that
Loth escaped without serious injury.. The
runaway engine, with constantly accelerating
peed. ru -hod do .vnjthe mountain, anl, ab?ut
f(ur miles bjyon i -tha poi.it where the brake
gavu way.c lli.lei with a freight tra'u which
was pa.ssiuj down on the strue track. Toe
result can bj imagined. A nutubcr of the
cars were completely wrecked, and the en
g!ne was stripped of the cow-catcher, head
1 ght and a lortion of the machinery. No
Idame can attach to Mr. Doran, as this was
ime of those accidents hich no amount of
foresight could provide agiiust.
Dbiek Mknti k. The extreme length
and late hour at which our Altoona letter
Las been received precludes its publication
tntite, and we could not see how it was
possible to condense it so as to express the
views of onr correspondent satisfactorily to
liimsclf. Much of it will do for next week,
if desired. The perusal of the letter from
on shipboard, to which we referred last week,
lias convinced us that it contaius not enough
of interest to justify us in occupying the
ppace in our columns necessary for its pub
lication. The many friends of James
Potta, Ktq., of Johnstown, will be glad to
learn that he in convalescing ripidly from
his late severe illness -Win. 11. Sechler,
E q . as will Ive seen by his card elsewhere,
Las hung out his legal shingle at the office
recently vacated by Geo. M. Ileade, Esq
May he doubly prosper in his new location.

Caus Wrecked and Max Injured
About 1 o'ch ck ou Monday morning last a
Lumber of freight cars broke loote from a
train to which triey were attached, on the
grade between Galiitzin and the Tunuel, and
afterwards ran into the balance of the train,
precipitating eleven of the curs over an em
bank men t one hundred feet in height, caus
ing the almost eutire destruction of the cars,
and injuring an engineer named Chas. Bow
ers, who was asleep in one of the cars which
went over the embankment, so severely that
no hopes were entertained of his recovery
when we beard from him on Monday. Mr.
Bowers was on his way to Derry to go on
duty when the accident happened. His in
juries are principally about the head and
thest. The train which met with this mis
fortune is 6aid to be the tame one w hich Mr.
Dorau's engine ran into, as noticed elsewhere,
but we can't conceive how this could bo the
case, as they seem to have been going iu op
posite directions.
Fightino It Out osthat 'Line! A ro
mantic pair not more than a thousand miles
from Ebensburg were blessed with a number
of daughtere. Th? eldest was called Caro

the fourth Angclinc ; when lo! the fifth
made its appearance, and no name could be
found with the djixirod termination. At

fashions at Saratoga, pounced upon a name
very popular there, and forthwith the baby

Casualty. A little girl whoso name we
did not learn was badly injured on the rail
road, near Sonraan, one day last week.
She had set a bucket of berries upon the
track, and tscoiug the train approaching,
hastened to remove them, when site was
Etruck by the cars and very soverly injured
At last advices the was doiDg well under

Interesting CoRnEsroNtrexCE. The De
mocracy will learn two facts from the follow
ing correspondence .-First, that the Radi
cals are determined to use the peoplo's mon
ey to defeat the people's candidates ; and,
second, that the Radicals are "scared out of
their propriety,' and find their case desper
ate. We call upon our fellow citizens, of
whatever party, to Bpu.rn' this attempt to
bribe them with their own money.
But the people are not to be bought; and
after November the Radicals will find they
have "reckoned without their host." Thos
desirous of seeing this precif.ua epistle can
be "ratified by calling at the Freeman office:

JOHN J. TROXKLL. P. M .
Galiitzin, Cambria Co., Pa.
To Thomas L. Tullock, E.j , Secretary of
several Clubs, WarhiDgton, D. C.
Gallitz:n and Tunnel Hill. We ppent
a very pleasant day at the.e points during
the last week. There- is a healthy improve
ment, goiug on at both places. Galiitzin is
a fine location for buoiness, being the only
poiut between Pittsburgh and Altoona where
all the trains must stop. A considerable
amount of business is transacted here, prin
cipally in coal and lumber.
At Tunnel llill the improvement ia Btill
more marked. This village is composed
principally cf a single street, nearly a mile
in length, passing at right angles over the
tunne! of the Pa. R. R. the street forming
the lino between Cambria and Blair counties.
Daring the construction of the tunnel a num
ber of shanties and temporary frame build
ings were erected, and thse are gradually
being converted into buildings of a mere
permanent character.
The new storehouse erected by Mr. Thos.
Bradley, merchant, struck us more partic
ularly. It is a splendid and capacious store
house, connected, with his dwelling and
built from basement to roof in the finest
style. The main store-room whother you
regard its size or its finish, is not exceeded
by half a dozen rooms in the county. We
are glad to see this evidence of the success
of merchandizing at Tunnel Hill, and sin
cerely desire Mr. Bradley the success his en
terprise deserves.
We bad also the pleasure of meeting our
old Ebeusburg friend, Mr. Jamc? 1. Murray,
who is doing a Cue business, as be deserves,
and is as uncompiomisirfg a Democrat as
ever. His store is well filled, as is also that
of Mr. Smith, from whom we received espe
cial kindness
John J. Troxell, at GalHtzin, also keeps a
fine assortment of goods, and seems to com
mand a large amount of trade, as does also
Mr. Christy. Galiitzin boasts several houses
of public entertainment, and we stopped at
all of them.
Fatal Railroad Accidents. On Mon
day night last, a man, while walking on the
railroad, near Ilodcbaugh's station, about
two miles west of this place, was struck by
a freight locomotive, and killed instantly.
He had just stepped off one track to the other
out of the way of a coming train, when ho
was struck by a locomotive meeting him.
Coroner Detar held an inqucf t on the body,
and from the evidence elicited the jury re
turned a verdict of accidental death. A
diary was found on tho deceaspd, in which
was written in several places the name of
"Jacob Werr, Baltimoie, Md." It is said
that he was peddling ink. He was apparent
ly about thirty-five or forty years of age, and
was blind of one eye. The body was buried
ou the Poor House, farm.
On Tuevlay eveni--- last. James Hender
son, aged about sixteen years, son of Samuel
Henderson, of Bolivar, got on the Fast Ex
press train east at Wa'ls' station, for the
purpose of going home, and when a short
distance west of Barclay's tunnel, fell asleep
and fell off, several cars passing over his
body, mashing his left arm and leg and dis
emboweling him. He was brought tD this
placo and physicians called, but be died about
one o'clock next morning. Coroner Detar
held an inquest, and the jury rendered a ver
dict in accordance with tho facts. His re
maius were taken home. Grtensbttrg Dem
ocrat, 21s.
Iron Ore Found We have it on un
impeachable authority that a vein of rich
iron ore, three and a half feet iu thickness,
has recently been discovered on the farm of
Mr. Owen.Hoberts, in Sumnierhill township,
about five miles from this place. The dis
covery was mado by Mr. Roberts while
sinking a well, and afterwards found at two
other points, more than three quarters of a
mile distant from each other. Tho ore has
been examined by Mr. Morley, Superintend
ent of the Cambria Iron Co.'s mines, ana by
him pronounced better than any ore found in
the vicinity of Johustown. Mr. Roberts'
farm is but little over two miles from the
Ta. Rail Road.
Surreptitious Visitors. The residence
of Mrs. Eddlebluet, just outside our borough
limits, was entered on Monday evening last.
during the absence of the inmates, and draw
ers, oupboards, closet, etc., were indisotisn-
inabte ransacked, and a member of articles
which they contained scattered about in
wild confusion. A girl living in the family
saw two men leave the house as she ap
proached it, but we have cot learned that
anything waa carried away by them. A
Mrs. K. ia a poor widow, it does not seem
nlausible that persons acquainted with her
! circumstances would visit her Louse Ia the
purpose vf robbing it.

Dear Freeman Local news of interest is
bo scarce hereaways that even a certain gen

pardon the bricfness'of this letter, promising
to do better next time.
There was a large and enthusiastic meeting

A Great Puoom. No article cf house
bold utility which has ever been introduced
into any community has met with the same
ready sale and general commendation as han
attended the rennwuod Metropolitan Oil,
manufactured and sold exclusively by our
next door neighbor, Mr. M. L Oatman.
Upon its own intrinsic merit3 it has depend
ed for success, and its cheapness, safety,
cleanliness, and the brilliancy of the light it
produces, has won fr it a refutation which
is every day extending and establishing it
self amwng our people. No other oil shoul I
be usd for iHumina.ing purposes, as it is the
best and most satirfactory now Jefore the
public.
Mr. Oatman keeps a large assortment of
freth groceries, cigars, tobacco, etc.. which
he sells at fair prices. See his card elses-

Encourage lb me Enterprise. Our en

have tested tho quality of Mr. Crouse's li
quors, thanks bhij kinduess, and knoic that
they will stand the test of the strictest scru

fered at fair prices, we can see no go.-! rea
son why our CamUia friends shou'.d go to
Pittsburgh or elsewhere to buy "liquors, when
they can tlo as well in quality and price
with Mr. Crousc in Johnstown. Let home
enterprise be properly mcouraged when it
is found worthy of patronage.

Huntley, who is not only euterpnsing enough
to keep almost every article of hardware,
tinware, glassware, wondenware, groceries,
and hundreds of other things, but pays strict
atUntion to his business, and disposes of his
goods at prices which cannot be undersold.
Such a man deserves to prosper, and you.

Stilt. Maintained. Notwithstanding
the noise made by dealer on all sides, in re

Ghana. Roberts still inaiutains his well earn

very best brands of tobacco and cigars
brought to Kbensburg. Also, sewing ma
