A trightful accident"eeurred on Thursday af
ternoon on the Cleveland - and Pittsburgh Rail
road, at a place called Industry. The regular
passenger train, consisting of three passenger
coaches and the usual express and baggage cars,
left Pittsburgh at 2 o'clock P. M. The cars were,
moderately tilled with paissengers, there being
probably a hundred on the train.- At the point
above mentioned, While running at the ordinary
rate of speed, s drove,of cattle started across the
track in front of WI engine. Evdry itossible
effort was made to atop the train, but before this
could be aceompliehed the - engine, plunged into
the animals, throwing one to the left, another to
the right, and a third . directly ahead Upon the
track.
At the side of the track is an embankment
about fifteen feet in height. The engine leaped
from the rails, became Lfilmonneeted , from the
train, and with a clear bourid leaded at the bot
tom of the bank, "right side, up with care." the
engineer and fueman being brit slightly bruised.
The tender turned completely around, and the
express car was dashed against it with fearful
violence, crushing in the whole side of the car.
The , express messenger was slightly braised,
and s passenger who happened to, be
smoking in the car was rendered insesible from a
blow on the head. He was afterward restored to
consciousness and was fettind not to be danger
ously injured.
All the coaches rolled to the bottom of the em
bankment, tumbling their occupants from side to
side in the most promiscuous manner imagina
ble. Wondrous to relate none were killed,and
is thought none were injured. A large number,
however, received ugly cuts and braises, and
very few escaped unharmed. Our informant,
G. F. Thomas, Esq.,.of New York, editor of Ap
pleton's Rpilway Glade, was in the rear car and
was one of the fortunate few who escaped with
out injury. The scene at the wreck was one of
wildest terror and confusion.. Several ladies re
ceived very severe wounds, but we were unable
to learn any names. The night train from this
city, returned from the wreck with a portion of
the passengers, reaching this city at half-past two
o'clock, Friday morning. The track was torn up
for a considerable distance.

Several Men Fatally Injured.
[From the Cincinnati Chi onic[c of the 18th Just]
This morning at a quarter before eight o'clock
a fearful accident happened at the new gas tank
now in process of erection on Columbia street.
The contractors are laboring energetically to have
the gasometer ready for this winter's use, and
to accomplish this, have put on an additional force
of workmen. The whole immense apparatus is
rapidly approaching completion; the well has been
walled up; more of the pillars erected; the tank,
sixty feet in diameter and thirty in depth, is now
being finished—the sides of five-eighths inch
iron having been bolted on, and the heavy iron
rafters or joist of the top or roof were being
piacefi In position when the accident occurred.
These beams are of immense weight,requiring the
combined strength of the whole force of fourteen
men to place one in position. While attempt
ing to raise one of these ratters this morning, the
scaffolding on which the men were standing gave
way and precipitated the whole party, together
with a section of the iron roof, a distance of 20
feet to the bottom of the tank, injuring all more
or lees; and crushing two terribly, and probably
fatally.
Eight men were seriously injured, some of
them fatally.

Tbey Attend a Public fleeting to Vote—
The Eight olbuntrage Denied Mem.
A very exciting meeting was held at Mount
Vernon, Westchester county, New York, on Sat
urday evening on the occasion of several female
tax-payers claiming the right to vote on appro
priations recommended by the Board of Trustees
for contemplated improvements as regards the
condition of roads, sidewalks, and other pur
poses set forth in the call. W. H. Pemberton,
Eeq., President of the Board of Trustees, was
called to the chair, and first submitted for action
of the meeting the proposition to raise e 3,000
by tax for highway purposes.
At this stagtof the proceedings, Mr. R. J. Law
stated that he held in his hand a list of the names
01 one hundred women,Droperty owners and tax
pay- era in the village, who claimed the right to
have a voice in the question of expending money
for public purposes. Mr. Quackenbush quoted
from the village charter and State laws on the
question of suffrage, to show that women
wore not qualified to vote. The resolution in fa
vor of raising $3,000 by tax for highway pur
poses was then voted upon, the names of the
male tax-payers beinalled upon to vote in the
matter, and resulted In 56 votes being recorded
for the resolution and 47 against it. The
annourcement was received with great applause.
During the discussion of a proposition to appro
priate $1,500 to meet the deficit caused by the
alleged deftdeatlon of a tax-collector of the vil
lage, Mrs. Macdonald here rose and remarked
that Nat Harriet Seaver, a heavy property
owneriti the village, had last entered the room,
• An d ligr - hquilf'she desired to say a few words;
but 1116 - KtMaeut intimated that, as there was a
questfort before the meeting, she Was out of
order. The VW& sustained the objection, and
thus disposed of the matter for the present. A
resolution to raise $75 for rent of Truck Rouse
was adopted. Another effort was here made
In behalf of the female property owners,
as regards their right to vote
on appropriations;_ wheren_pon Ldlip
Lucas, Jr., remarked that' Mr._ Ferguson had
rote°, ono now his •wife desired to vote on the
same questions. The Chairman Anted that he
bad looked Into the matter, Wand quoted several
sections of the village charter. and State laws on
the subject, Which clearly defined who Were and
who were not legal voters; and he therefore de
cided that the women, although property owners
and tax-payers, were not entitled to vow at
that meeting. The decision against the women
was hailed with applause by almost the entire
array of masculine voters present. Mr.
Wingate here - appealed from the deci
sion of the chair in behalf of four
women, whoni ,he claimed to repreSent
as their attorney. Several • citizens protested
against Mr. Wingate's Interference, contending
that he was neither a tax-payer nor resident
the village , and cries of "put him ont," "pit
him ink' resounded from all parts of the
crowded hall. Mr. G. W. Barnes made a very
conciliatory speech, contending that the;women
had come there in a respectful manner, with the
conviction that they had a right to representa
tion in meetings where the expenditure of their

peering conspicuously before the meeting they had
deptted Mr. Wingate to speak for them. All
they desired was that the meeting should say
whether they were entitled to vote or not, so that
In case of a decision against them they might
take the necessary measures to bring the matter
before the proper authorities. P. S. McClellan
also made a few remarks complimentary to the
women, and the respect which ahould be
shown them; but, at the same time, con
sideredthey were not entitled to exercise
the right of suffrage under the laws as they
now stand. Mrs. Macdonald stated that the Rev.
J. IL Shepherd had been in the habit of voting at
these meetings, although he owned no property,
but merelyacted as a:trustee for his son, while
women present, owning property to the amount
of $50,000, were denied the privilege. The Chair,
In reply, stated that Mr. Shepherd was not en
titled to vote, and he had not done so at this
meetingßesolutions in favor of raising $lOO for
counsel 'fees, also $2OO for restraining cattle,
*re adopted,after which the meeting adjourned.

—A recent trial has brought to light perhaps
not a new feature in the theatrical world. An
actress, very celebrated in Paris, gave an order to
a florist to inundate the stage with flowers at a
certain part of ber rige. Forty immense bou
quets were ordered; but the florist made a sad
mistake by throwing them at the feet other rival,
In a scene also in which she did not appear. The
florist insists upon the payment of his bill, the
actress refuses to pay—result the present lawsuit.
A new journal will shortly appear at Madrid,
called Sancho Panza.
THE NINTH WAnD MANDAMUS CABS.—This morning in
the case of the writ of mandamus directed to the' City
Commissioners to show cause why they should not tune
notice of the place of holding the extra assessment in the
Ninth Ward, as designated by the Asseuers, a return
wag made by the Commissioners before Judge Ailloon.
The return seta forth that the Commissioners had desig
nated the house of Mr. McDonough before receiving any
notice from the assessors; that on the 22d of July they did
cceive a notice from the assessors designating the house
of D. B. Berner, but on the 30th of July Mr. - Isaac J. Law
less. one of the assessors, sent a communication to the
City Commissioner. requesting them to consider revoked
the notice of the 22d, as ho had signed it without Knowl
edge of its purport or object.
The City Commissionera urged that having designated
the place, they were Clot required to recognize the notice.
The return also sets forth that at the house of Mr. Beitler
the extra assessment must be made in a public barroom.
while at Mr. :McDonough's a private room on the first
floor can be secured.
There was an argument in regard to the force of the
notice of the 22d of July. the counsel asking the man
damus insisting that there was no power 'in Mr.
Lawless to revoke his consent Besides this the Commis
sioners had no right to designate a place until the time
had expired in which the Assessors have to fix the place.
That time expired the 30th of July, and the Commis.
stoners had no right before then to designate the place
for the extra assessment for the Ninth Ward.
. . .
On behalf of the Comminfonere it was contended that
the notice referred to was not recognized by the act of Am
eembly, and In addition to this there could be no doubt
but that there was a disagreement between the Ailment'.
and In that me the Commlealonere have the right to do
eignate.l
Judge Ailleon said that at the time the Commissioners
designated. apiece. there was no evidence before them
that the Aeeeeeore Imd not agreed. Before they could
deeienate it was their duty to send to the assessors and
ask them to fax thepiace.
The mandamus was allowed, ordering the Commis.
stoners to give notice of 'he place designated by the as.
sespors—D. B. Beitler'a—Market street,
QUARTER BramNe.—Judge jury for the
second period of the Term appeared this morning. Con
siderable time was consumed in hearing ex.mises, and
after this was disposed of, the remainder of the morning
was occupied with the argument in the Ninth Ward
mandrunus.case.
FIItST , CLASSESTABLISHMENT.—We take plea
sure in recording a fine improvement made by Mr.
William 11. Helweg, at his fashionable Boot and Shoe
Emporium, No. NS Arch street, next to the corner of
Sixth. Mr. Helweg has • occupied the premises for

nets steadily increased, so that an enlargement of his
