_ A LOCOMOTIVE BREAKS H. THROUG A
BRIDGE—ENGINEER SCALDED AND FIRE
MAN KILLED.—The through train from
Washington to New York met with an mei
dent in the Twenty-fourth Ward, about one
o'clock this morning. As the engine
reached a small iron bridge, which crosses
Haverford street, it ran of the track, and
the additional force, caused by the wheels
jumping over the sleepers, caused the bridge
to give way. The engine, tender and
Adams' Express car were precipitated into
the street below, - and were piled up on top of
each other. The locomotive had its ash-pan
demolished, and was otherwise injured.
The tender and Express car were also some
wt at injured.
Robert Bingham, the fireman, was killed.
He went down with the engine, and his
head was almost torn from his body. His
remains presented a shocking appearance.
The deceased was a single man, 22 years of
age, and resided in Chester county.
Thomas Fingerfrocker, the engineer, was
badly scalded by escaping steam, and is
not expected to recover. He also went down
with the engine, but sustained no other in
juries. He is about 45 years of age, and
has a family residing in Lancaster.
No other persons were injured.
The passengers all escaped and were pro
bably not aware of the disaster, as there are
frequent stoppages on that portion of the
road. •
The engine was a "shifter," and was only
used to draw the trains between the Falls of
Schuylkill and Gray's Ferry,
The bridge where the accident occurred
was pretty well demolished.
The accident is believed to have been
caused by the misplacement of a switch
which is dose to the bridge.
Coroner Taylor will investigate the affair
to-day.
PHILADELPHIA. SOCIETY FOB PROMOTING
AGRICIJLTURE.-A stated meeting was held
this morning, Craig Biddle, Esq., President,
in the chair.
The President presented a communica
tion giving an account of the first cheese
factory established in the country, which is
located in Susquehanna county. The
season commences in May and continues
about five months and a half, with a con
sumption of from four hundred • to six hun
dred barrels of milk per day. In 1757 the
exportations of cheese amounted to 65,000
lbs.; while in 1865 the exportations from
New York alone amounted to over $50,000-
000 lbs.,valued at about $8,000,000.
Sampes of Swedish oats and Pedigree
wheat, were among the contributions re
ceived.
A circular was received from the Ame
rican Pomological Society, inviting the ap
pointment of delegates to the Eleventh ses
sion of the Society, to be held in St. Louis,
on the 4th of September, 1866.
Dr. Robt. McClure, V. S., made a state
ment in regard to the hog disease called
trichina. This disease now prevails exten
sively in Germany, and it exists only in the
hogs which go abroad. None of the veze
table feeding animals have ever been found
to be infected with it. In Germany there
had been five hundred cases of disease from
eating ham, and of that number one hun
dred bad died. In this country there had
been but two deaths from this cause. The
great danger is from eating ham raw or im
properly cooked. Fatting, smoking, or
drying, has no effect. Adjourned.
RESCUING A PRISONER,—This morning,
Archibald McHenry was before Alderman
Swift, upon the charge of assault and battery
and rescuing a prisoner. One of the parti
cipants in a ball at the Musical Fund Hall,
last night, was arrested by a couple of the
Eighth Ward Police, McHenry is alleged to
have struck the officers with a "billy," cut
ting the head of one, and the ear of the
other. The prisoner then escaped, bat Mc-
Henry was secured. He was held in $l,OOO
for trial

Reported Insurrection in Cuba.
j Havana Cor. of N.T. World.]
We have an alarming report circulating
with credit since Thursday, viz., that on the
plantations of Oviedo (diamond wedding),
Martin Hernande.z and two others, near
Bolondron, the negroes have revolted, and
are defending themselves. As we are living
on a volcano which may burst at any mo
ment, this report is causing considerable
consternation,and is being rapidly exagger
ated. The truth I have been able to sift out
is that on Thursday morning a lot of
"emancipadoes" presented them
selves, , forty in number, to
Oviedo, and demanded their freedom,
citing the Gaceta of 'March 2, ordering their
rendition to the authorities; that on Friday
none of the negroes were willing to work,
and had armed themselves with the long
knives used in cutting the cane. The same
has taken place on the plantation of Mar
tin Hernandez (a. Floridan by birth) and
on two estates near the town of Bolondron.
Notice was immediately sent to the govern
ment, and a squad of cavalry was sent out
this morning and more troops are prepar:
ing to go. There is little doubt but that
this insurrection will be put down but
others will occur till slavery is abolished in
this island.
DEATH OF CHESTER -- ARDING.—This
eminent artist died, after a brief illness, at
Boston, yesterday morning. He was ex
tensively known and greatly respected.
His residence, for more than halfa century,
was Springfield, Mass., where, as a portrait
painter, he establishd his reputation.
Earlier in life he resided in Madison county,
N. Y., from whence, in 1812, he went into
the army. Soon after his marriage he re
sided in Pittsburgh, Pa., as a house painter,
and occasionally painted signs. Aspiring
higher, he induced his young wife to
sit for a portrait, and the most exquisite
emotion of his life was occasioned by the
discovery upon the canvass of a likeness?
Thus encouraged, he- entered upon
a career which ended in fortune and fame.
Mr. Harding was an enthusiastic angler.
All his intervals and vacations were devoted
to fishing. Weeks and even months of
every year were passed in fishing excur
sions. Every brook, river or lake in the
United States or in Canada, where trout
"most do congregate," is familiar with Ches
ter Harding's foot and fly. He was pre
paring, when he fell ill at Boston, for his
annual May trout excursion, in which he
was to have been joined by h is almost in
variable companion, George Ashman. Mr.
Harding bad passed the winter at St. Louis.
where he painted a splendid portrait of Gen.
Sherman. He must have been seventy-five
years old.
SHOOTING AFFAIR IN NEW YORK.—Lonis
Bossuet, a Belgian, 66 years of age. residing
at No. ISI Greene street, New York, at
tempted, on Monday night, to shoot
Edward Wilson, a retired pugilist,
who keeps a liquor saloon at No.
16 Leroy place. Bossuet was actuated by a
desire for revenge in consequence of the
seduction of his daughter by Wilson. He
fired once at Wilson, but missed his aim,
the ball wounding another man who was
sitting at the same table. 'Before the attempt
could be repeated the assailant was felled
by the bystanders. He was held to bail to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
