It is impossible at present to determine exactly
the cause of the accident, but the general impres
sion among those who had the beat opportuni
ties of judging is that the track was not in proper
condition at the cattle-guard. It seems that the
sticks of timber which supported the rails were
not secured from springing by the iron rods
which are considered necessary, and the rails
must either have been Insecurely fastened, or
else the timber sprung and the rails become sepa
rated further' than they should have been. The
mutter will be thoroughly investigated by the
coroner's jury.
Coroner Clawson impanneled a jury yester
day, and visited Oakdale Station. The jury were
sworn in the case of Michael Casson, and viewed
the body. A wake was held on Saturday night,
and a large number of the unfortunate man's
friends were present. Some of them evidently
did not appreciate the objects of the Coroner's
jury, and were decidedly independent in answer
ing the questions asked. them.
The jury then visited the house of Wm. Sprout,
where the body of Henry Herder, the brakeman,
had been taken. 'Squire McConnell, of South
Fayette township, had impanneled a jury and
adjourned the inquest in this case. The body, on
the arrival of the Coroner's jury, was in a hearse
on its way to the burying ground, but was over
taken at Nobiostown Station and taken inside
the station-house, where the body, was viewed,
and the inquest in this. as well as in the other
case, adjourned until Thursday evening. at seven
o'clock, when the jury will meet at the Pittsburgh
Mayor's office.
The body was taken in charge by an agent 41
the Coal Company, and brought to this city 140'
evening. The Coal Company pay the expenses
of the burial. The Coroners jury returned to
the city on the ten o'clock freight train.
Man Run Over_by_tliv2 . Trains near
(From the Pittsburgh Dispatelt, Dec. 9.1
About eleven o'clock on Friday night a man
named Armstrong Henderson was Jailed on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, near the Lawrenceville
Station, by being run over by one of the trains—
which of them, however, has not yet been as
certained. His body was discovered lying across
the track about hall' -past eleven o'clock by the
conductor on ti fast freight train coming to the
city, fie imagined that the man,was intoxicated
and unable to leave the way ;so attempeil to
stop the engine, but failed. The whole train
then paesvd over the body, mangling it fright
fully., When the remains were taken away a
few moments afterwards, they were found quite
old, and on this fact Is bas@d in connection with
other circumstances, the theory of his having
been previously run over by another train. De
ce,need was'forty-eigbt years old, and was on his
WRY to .his boarding-house in LawrcinitxMlid,
whert . ran over. lie leaves a wife and eleven
children in Westmoreland county.' ).
Coroner Clawson itupanneled a jury, who re
turned 'a verdict in accordance with the sword
statements of the railroad employees. Very sin
gular it is that when the fast train ran over the
man,
We body wasn't discovered.

cattle guard near the bridge across
Chartiere Creek, the tender was thrown
from the track and six of the cars followed. The
train was running at a high rate of speed at the
time, and the ears were thrown nearly thirty
yards ahead down an embankment, and com
pletely wrecked. The engine was turned over
on the aide and one of the steam pipes bursted.
The track was torn up fora considerable dis
tanee, and It is difficult to azzfitain precisely
what caused the accident, but it is mpposed.the
spikes on the outside of the rails pulling oSer
the cattle gttards gave way and the rails spread
apart.
Michael Casson, section boss, was riding on
the engine, and either jumped or was thrown off,
striking on the top of his head. His skull was

poured over him in a stream, scalding hini . terri
bly. Be died in about fillet: l n minutes after the
accident. . The body of the unfortunate man was
taken to his home near Oakdale Station- He
was an Irishman, forty-three years of age, and
had been in the employ of the road for about two
years..
The other man who was killed was a German,
named Hermon Hunter, who was employed by
the National Coal and Coke Company as a
brakesman on the train. He was thrown between
two cars, and his body was horribly mangled.
The right side was crushed in, and the ribs left
"ticking out; his skull was broken in and his
right hand cut off. His body was taken to the
house of Wm. Sprout, near Noblestown, where
he had been boarding. Heater had been in this
country only nine months, and has no relatives
in this vicinity. The Coal Company have pro
Tided tor the funeral.
Alexander Diveney, conductor of the train,
was slightly injured between the eyes, and had
his legs hurt, but will recover. Michel Hstshal,

cated.

about forty years of age, and her daughter
Jenny, eleven years old, took aparthiente at No.
:307 Atlantic street. Brooklyn, where' they were
found dead in bed, yesterday morning at eight
o'eloct. The rooms were comfortably furnished,
and Mrs.Fali seemed to have aufflelent money for
the support of herself and daughter. Before
coming to Brooklyn she had stored some fur
niture with a drug-clerk named Joel D. PHee,
employed at a store in Whitehall street, near'
Battery place, New York. After Mrs. Fall camel
to No. :307 Atlantic street, Mr. Price visited her
'
frequently, and is said to have occasionally
passed the night at her room. Yesterday morn
ing a pedlar of kindling-wood called as
usual, to furnish wood, and found Min. Fall
and daughter in bed, asleep, as he supposed,
and so did not disturb them, but mentioned
to other inmates of the house, when he left, that
they were asleep. One of the tenants imme
diately went to the room, and found wither and
datighter dosely locked in each other's .arms,
dead. Price called at the house Sunday night,.

his store. and she was called in to nurse him by a
clerk in the same store, who was w e nt out taking
care of him. A trial for divorce between him
.nd his wife is and was at that time pending.
Mrs. Price reported that her husband had com

'LEAVY ROBBEJECIES.
The Northern Central ,Railroad the
'Victim.
[From the Baltimore Sun of Dee. 5.1
For sometuonths past,,it is alleged, the North
ern Central Railway Company has suffered heavy
losses from depredations committed on freight
ears on the line of the road, simounting. it
is said, to at least $3,000. The goods stolen
were generally wares purchased in Baltimore by
-tortkeepers and merchants residing' at points
on the road. A watch was set, but for
some time nothing could be discovered. On
Saturday, however, from information obtained,
officers Seibold, Gibson and Mantle arrested two
brothers named Levi and Joshua Dixon, on the
charge of being connected with the robberies.
The house of John Dixon, another brother, who
is employed on the Northern Central railroad as
J. brakeman, No. 390 West Pratt street, was
,earched, and a very extensive assortment of
dry goods, boots and shoes, groceries, harness
mit brushes, together with a valise of clothing,
said to have becW stolen some two months since
from the station at Hanover Junction, were
found. The value of the goods found is thought
to be about $5OO. The two DIXOIIB, Levi and
Joshua, underwent 'a hearing before Justice
Bride, resulting in their being held for the action
of the authorities of York, Pa. Information
was received yesterday that at midnight on
Saturday Eugene Lewis. the•conductor of - one of
the freight trains, and John Dixon, his brakes
man, were arrested at York, Pa.

What the Tribune Thintke.
Mr. Dickens is not only an excellent reader
but a greatly-glfted actor. To read his works is
to see that he possesses in an eminent degree the
dramatic instinct. To hear him read is to see
that he also possesses , in almost equal fullness,
the dramatic ifacultv. In reading as well as
writing he enters into every character that he
creates. His personality, for the time, is extinct.
Now he is Scrooge, presently he is Mr. Fezziwig,
anon is he. Bob Cratchlt, and by the by
passes, with extraordinary versatil
ity of mood, through the guises of Sergeant Buz
iuzz, the little Judge, Mrs, Cluppins,_Winkle, the
renowned sportsman, and Samuel Weller. The
several personations are complete at all points.
This capacity of merging one's self into character
is. of course, the indispensable requisite for good
acting.' To saytthat Mr. Dickens has it is eat&
elently to explain the continued triumphs
'hat he has achieved in reading his own
works. It is 'needful to add, however, that
he uses it like an artist. The chief ,feature in
his method is slmplicity--which implies a per
fect knowledgeof the effect to be produced and
a perfect control of the means that are requisite
to produce it: The next feature is delicacy. in
the mellow, end musical voice, in the
tranquil manner ,r in the unaffected gesture,,
in the easy ainititi of the word to the
action—hi all l
at the man is and
all .that he does;•thiagentle refinement is con=
spicuous. Comprehending both these features
la reality. In the reading of last night he seemed "
there- the comedian-than-the 'tragedian; but - that
of this evening, whicloonaprises the "Tempest"
chapter from "David Copps d", will probably
show Mal in anot4 l3 oiltit...iXfOivever ahead ho

dapper-looking little gentleman,slightly sprirthled
with gray, slightly bald, and wearing sandy
mustache and dusty-looking goatee combed down
perpendicularly front the chin. Without acre
rnony, after the welcoming applause had
subsided (for there was neither orchestra
nor piano to JUL up. the pauses, nothing
but Dickens.), and in an easy, self-pos
sessed manner, he proceeded at once to bust
mess in the reading of the "Christmas Carol, or
'Marley% Ghost." In the outset his voice ap
peared a tittle weak and husky, but after a few
ilnes had been recited, and with the emphatic
announcement that "Old Marley was as dead 313
a door nail," and that "Scrooge knew he was
dead," the reader began to warm up to his work,
and the honifbegan to realize the fact that the
first comedian of - the present generation was be

of the prettiest of domestic drams of Dickens,
just as Dickina himself Would wish it to be done.
The house fiett spontaneously responded to
the reading, as Yr. Dickens pictured the, charac
terof Scrooge. ,
Aim) again there was a hearty round when he
repeated the Christmas Eve conversation be

the incredulous Scrooge was visited by Marley%

and over the nephew's Christmas house warm
ing, and most heartily over the joyous, concha.
mon of the story, with-the complete• conversion
of old Scrooge to human sympathies andgood
deeds, and the crowning glory of Tiny Tim,
"Geld bless us, everyone!"
This reading was ,a beautifUl play, and, as done
by Dickens, it la better ;than is play; for he not
only gives ne the voice and character of each in
dividual, but in such fine relief that they all stand
before us, though only the solitary reader is
in reality on the ground. A blind man would see
them distinctly.
What the Time, thinks.
In his reading Mr. Dickens makes- free use of
gesticulation, and his gmtures, neater violent or
forced, alwa,ys explain and give force and dis
tinctness to the sentiment. In description, for
example, he follows the action described with
correspond:l:cement- lie slim the gravy,
when Ida Mrs. Crateldt Made it --amahes
the potatoes wi someth i ng of Master Peter's
"Incredible vigor;"--einsta tthhe hot . platea as
Martha d, did;—an makes a face • of infinite:
wonderment and exultation *hen shouting,.
in the. piping tones of the two yourrg Cratehits,
"Thesis seen a goose, Martha!" And.when he
describes the gradual approach of the tra - escen,
dent pudding, he sniffit and pronounces the smelt
"like washing-day," sniffis again, and declares it
like .an eating-house--again, andEpronounces it
a pastry cook's, with laudesa next door, and
so takes us, with all our senses sympathetically
alert, Into the very presence of the pudding
itaelf!
Mr. Dickens fully proves in these readings the
truth of what has often been said--that he's ono
of the best of living actors. The writer of this
paragraph once saw him act in as amateur per
formance of Bulwers "Not Bo Bad As We
Seem," and afterward in a farce of his own. In
the former, which was "serious" business, he
was good; but in the latter he was inimitable.
Be Rlayed in succession several characters—all
comic, and among them- his own dairey Gamp
—and we certainly have - rarely, if ever, 'NCR
comic acting equal to it. It Seas easy, gmceful,
never overdone or overdrawn;, and its effect was
irresistible.
It Is easy to see that very much of the effect
produced upon an audience by Mr. Dickens's
reading is dueto what is read, and that it luot
wholly due to his manner of reading. Bat this
also is his own legitimate triumph, and it is one
of the felicities in the fortune of those who attend
those entertainments that they can hear suck
marvelous anffivonderful productions o f genius
read by thelr author. While it gratifies a natural
and rational curiosity to sec the men who
have made' themselves immortal by the in
struction and delight they have given the world,
it gives us also a dearer insight into the na
ture of their creations and the real :meaning of
the lessons they have taught mankind. We have
had, and still have, in New York, very many
sources of intellectual and artistic amusement
and delight; but we never have had, and, we ven
ture to say, we ; never Shall have, any entertain
ments more:charming in themselves, or more
efttikof genuine, legitimate and elevating pleasure
than these readings of Mr. Dickens.
What the VlVeirlet thinks.
In truth, the. first:appearance of Mr. Dickens'
last night, before a New York audience was a
suflicient answer to, all the nonsense that has
been uttered on both sides of the ocean, as well
about the extravagant lion-worship of the people
of Gotham, as about the rancorous remem
brances cherished in the American heart
concerning certain casual Notes of American
Travel piped " by , the great writer in his
more green and salad days. Without any re
knarkable pressure or disturbance a large, but
hot an extraordinarily largo crowd of welt'
dressed people last night assembled p at' Steinway
Hall. Ail the best and brightest elites of our
city life wore represented in this goodly com
pany, and as the audience was excellently well
composed, and the arrangements for distributing
them over the house .wore well com
bined and carried out, there was an
entire absenee of that , delightful confusion and
clamor of battle which aro commonly held to ix)
the indispensable witness of a gPcat “succeas" in
the way of concerts, balls, lectures or plays.
Precisely at 8 o'clock Mr. Dickens made his ap
pearance, entering suddenly from behind a ma
roon-colored screen which concealed the upper
end of the hall, and flitting swiftly up to the
front of a narrow stage on which had been set a
queer little sort of pulpit covered with maroon
cloth. The personal appearance, the manner
and the voice of the great novelist are all greatly
favorable to his success as -a story-teller. Hie
face, though worn with thoutht and marked
with the lines of life, has great mobility of
feature and lights up wonderfully as the humor
and fancy within flash from the pressive eyes
or play about the sensitive #pik.. tits voice is rich
and full,eminently masculine both in its force and;
in its pathos; and although its modulations are
evidently Unpaired by a certain pruden dal holding
of its capacities in, reserve, it has , so inueli•vigor,
and such a virile healthiness of tone, that pas
sages which in the "written word" affect e one ,as
sentimental are redeemed by it into;
simplicity and strength. To listen to Mt.:
Dickens, indeed; .; tempts one into the'
notion that authorship, • after alt i; may
have suffered Man ' the inventions bfi
