Tlie Accident on the Union I'nelilc Ilnil ■ ‘'ffi.'d.rowpdvi'-wff-: .■ ’-s-.s. | Correspondence of (So Omalia RspnbUcan>l. ■ .... . NobthTlattk, Neb:,'^Jirlyli—TJhisiuorn ing, after getting tip at lui eariy hatir, m order: to catch thedowntminfor Omabay atul after waiting for some time, a despatch was received stating that express tram No, 4 had run into the ditch. The .foreman of the yard at this place, Mr. Heriter, immediately set: men to. work to load a train with rails, ties i and other material necessary to repairing the 1 darirage. An invitation from this gentleman, and every thing provided for a pleasant itrip, we started to tlie rescue, adlstance of 71 miles. Nothing worthy ot note occurred until we reached OgallaJa. The engine, in switching some'cars from a side track; ran rather faster than usual in such cases, causing Mr. MclCeevy, one of the brakesmen, to lose his balance; he fell, one of the cars passing up liis right leg ahd side, mangling the poor fellow in a most pitiful manner. Doctor Stone: immediately dressed his wounds, put him in the liind caboose,: and again W'e were on our why; at lightning speed. ' ; Tlie first thing risible at. a distance was the mountain of wreck Tlie accident occurred about six miles east of Nig Spring, at 3 A. 51. At this point there was a culvert which proved insufficient to carry off the heavy rain of the last night. The water accumulated to tlie depth of six feet, forcing its way through the quicksand under the track, leaving nothing but the rails and ties over a space of about 85 feet. At 3 o’clock A. M. tlie train came thun dering along at the rate of. 20 miles an hour, and as soon as it struck this suspension bridge, sunk, the cars falling on the top of one' another. One of the rails struck 'the cylinder of the engine, passed through it, arid into the boiler. - , Mail and papers were scattered over the beach, and one bag was found, drifting into the South Platte. Tlie train consisted of the mail and express car, one baggage car, a passenger and a sleeper. Save the sleeping-car—which was not injiired in the least—there was nothing to indicate", the wreck of a train. Indeea it looked more like the destruction of a match iactory; splinters lined the ground andbeach of the South Platte. On one side of the track lay Wells, Fargo & Co’s, safe, near the corpse of Murray, a section man, who had got on at some station. He was at the time of the acci dent on the front end of the baggage car, next the engine, stealing his way to North Platte. On his person was found $8 and a time check for four months’pay. A little farther on sat the baggage agent and mail agent, one wounded in the head, the other in the heel. From twenty to twenty-five persons were in juredmore or less, and among them was an elderly-lady, who was suffering severely from her woiinds. Several pocket-books were lost in the excitement, anil all kinds of conceivable articles, such as hats, watches, coats, traveling bags; prairie dogs, etc,,, etc. The strangest of all was that from such a fearful crash there was but one man killed. The front passenger car was packed full, and striking the fallen ones the roof, sides and seats were thrown clear apart. It is said by those on board that .the screams from the frightened people were deafening. After everything had come to a stand still the first impulse ot tlie passengers was to strike for the shore, thinking they were in the Platte river, so deep was the water. But by the time we had arrived the sand had absorbed all the water. We arrived on the ground at about 9 o’clock, A. 51., and by 5 P. M. the debris was removed, bridge built, track laid, and wp were on our way for Omaha, where we arrived at 3 P. 51. Thursday. . lowan* Warned out of Mississippi. 51 r. De Witt Stearns, formerly of Daven port, lowa, communicates the following from Oxford, sliss., to tlie Davenport Gazette: Inclosed please find a notice to leave the State, served upon Colonel E. 51. slain and myself last evening between 12 and 1 o’clock. About two weeks since I was honored by General Airies, Provisional Governor of Mis-' .-issippi, with tlie appointment, to the office of probate judge of Lafayette. At the same time,' Colonel E. 51. slniu, sheriff; (J. IS. Wilson, cir cuit clerkj S. G. W. Whiting, county assessor; and W. H. Foard, probate clerk, were also ap pointed, somewhat to the great displeasure of ilie disloyal. Yesterday Colonel slain and myself, having business in the eastern part of the country, some twenty miles from Oxford, through a country just fertile enough to produce pitch, pine and sand burs, arrived at the little town of “Tuck-a-puna,” about equal to the Con federate X Itoads, comprising three variety ■stores, one “whisky-shop,” a blacksmith shop, wnter grist mill, and livery stable and about one hundred souls. We put up with the most respectable citizeu in the place. The natives all gazed at us, walked past and around us without speaking, and then gathered in “knots” to hold council. The Colonel and myself quietly disposed ourselves for the night in a small log house,used for a plantation office. About midnight T was aroused by a loud bark ing of hound-dogs, and a native “clay-eater” shouting halloo to the landlord, when that worthy “Patriarch” went out trembling and praying as though ho thought doomsday had come to band. The stranger asked in an under tone which one could hear, whether the two •Yankee officials were stopping within, and being answered in the affirmative, ho Sp. manned where they were, and if any one 6lse was in the room with them, and whether or not he knew our business. They then handed the frightened old man the inclosed order, which we soon after read. Pistols in hand, Colonel slain coolly remarked to the old man that it was a po.or scholar who wrote it. I suggested that the time was rather too brief, and I did not think we could go. So we slept with our weapons in hand until morning, the messenger having left in great haste just as the letter was being handed to us. The object of the cowardly “cut-throats” was to frighten us from the cover of the house, and then shoot us at an advantage. But old soldiers like us had a little rather not go. By a little ruse we led the whole clan, who in tended to waylay and assassinate us, on to a road, which we did not travel far, and so we still rejoice that our necks are intact, and not withstanding the order, we have stopped in Oxlord, where we intend staying until orders are in ore pressing and sanguinary. The following is the “KU-KLUX WARNING, “Lafayette County, Mississippi.—’ \Ve, the good / citizens of the same, do hereby affirm that -you and all such men lmust and shall leave, our country. Go! We have stood and been imposed on by your Klan as long as we are going to stand it, and you had better not pass through this country any further. By hard pleading your uccks are still sound, hut watch twenty-four hours from to night. We have watched you all day and its our last trip after you. You must leave here between this and sun-up or no quarter will be shown you— and not make your stay in Oxford. “One Hundred in Number. Watch. “[A true copy.)” These are tlioikiiul of inducements which the “good and loyal” people of the South offer to emigration. I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, your obedient servant, De Witt Steaisns. Beath of Detective John Coyle.

During the investigation n “littlo unpleasant-' ness!”,;Was manifested between a recently ap pointed "detective” and a newly fledged sergeant of police, whose bailiwick is in the : northern part of Philadelphia: It seems, from questions propounded by tho detective, that the sergeant had recovered some stolen goads’ in the vicinity ofPenri and South streets.’ if was morothan indicated that, tins "achieve-; ment interfered.somewhat with the arrange mente'of,the detective, land ’his heart seemed almost bursting with rage, while Ids lips were restrained, because of the -august presence of his Hoii6r,fr6m uttorihg such expletives as aro : often heard in tho private department when the “cops” are having “it ftll to themselves.” A detective is' known in police, parlance sis a “ily cop.” A lieutenant, or sergeant or patrol-’ man is Known in the stimo vulgar 'vocabulary as a “flat cop.” The “flats” and the “flies”, have sometimes come together in the transaction of police af fairs, and in every instanee>becanse the former attempted to attend to duties which the lat ter were especially organized for and delegated to do. On several occasions this antagonism resulted .rather seriously: good police jobs were buiigled and justice cheated by the inter- Terence of the “flats.” Here is one interesting case in point: » Some years" ago Philadelphia was infested by a gang of shrewd, daring gnu expert lish “cracksmen,” sometimes called burglars. Some of the heaviest houses in our city were “cracked,” -‘night after night, and large quantities of rich silks,, broadcloths, &c., were removed. The business people were very much alarmed; the. detectives were , , astounded, and finally the slayor of that pe riod called all his lieutenants, or rather cap tains, of the watch around him, and urged them to keep a sharplookout among the big stores, particularly those on Market street, Church alley, Bank street, Commerce" street, and other similar thorouglifares. The orders were communicated to the men, and they all expressed the determination to be extremely vigilant. It. so happened that on one occasion two men stepped into a store, under pretence of business, and they excited suspicion. At that time almost every stranger was scrutinized to a more than usual extent. The men went away, and one of the proprietors of tlie store proceeded to the station of the detectives, and there communicated his suspicions. A de scription of the strangers was. given, and two of the officers arranged to work up the job. The proprietor Of the store also gave informa tion at the N. E. district station house, and two of tliemen oil duty there kepttlieir own counsel and agreed to watch the store. It was evident that no really professional “cracksmen” would attempt an entrance on the front when the hack part offered more facilities and was less hazardous. Both sets of officers, the “flies” ami the "flats,” in examing the approaches to the rear part of the building, learned from a’ neighbor that two men had been there in tlie morning and were measuring the wall. Twelve o’clock that night the “flats,” armed with maces and pistols, entered the dark alley and secreted themselves in a corner. It was not long before two other men entered the same court or alley. Caution marked every step. The “flats,” in making an effort to spring upon the others, made a noise, and the next nioment the springing of a dead light revealed their position. “ Bang ” goes a pistol, and the dead light was as.suduenly smashed and sent whirling down the cobble-stones. The snot was returned, and a cry of “ Oh!” indicated that tlie ball had taken effect. The neighborhood was aroused, rattles were sprung, a number of the night police arrived with breathless haste, and with the flambeaux brought with them,dissipated tliedarkness, and a pretty though desperate picture presented it self. There were four men struggling for the mastery, roiling over each other in the accumulated filth that emitted a horrid sick ening stench. They were “copped” and con ducted to the headquarters of the nightly watuh, and finally were recognized. Each of the men was injured. One of the “flies” had a terrible seaip wound, and one of the “flats” had a leauen bullet in his arm. Ex planations ensued, and for a number of years there was no other case of interference with the duties of tlie detective force by the men especially detailed to patrol certain limits of the city. The Juniata— A New Styi.e Anchor.— The U. S. steamer Juniata was put into com mission yesterday. She has been undergoing repairs at the Navy Yard for several months past. Her destination is the Mediterranean, and she will be under command of Commander S. B. Luce. She isthefirat vessel which goes to sea with the new Wittram anchor, the inven tion of F. Wittram, of San Fraucisco, qnd patented in the United States and Europe. This anchor js-as much an improvement over : the old one so long used, as a steam vessel is over the old sailing craft. It has been thoroughly tested in New York, Washington, and San Francisco, and has met with the ap-. proval of Admiral Farragut,Adm’i. Porter and other naval officers, and the New York Board of Underwriters. The Wittram anchors are now being manufactured at the Washington Nuvy Yard-foi—thfr- use of the~government" vessels. They are constructed in an entirely different manner from the old style anchors, and when not in use do not occupy any more space than a straight bar of iron would. The flukes, instead of Doing welded to the shank, are held to it by means of shoulders which penetrate tho shank. One of the flukes is at the lower end of the shank, the other about; midway, and are so arranged that when the anchor reaches the bottom of a river and falls upon it both take hold of the mud, and there is no projection above tho shank, such as the stock, or unused flukes, as the stock is entirely done away with. This anchor possesses many advantages over the old ones. A Wittram anchor of 4,000 pounds is said to be equal to a 6,000 pound old style anchor. Tho tormer cannot foul, nor can a vessel which grounds upon it be damrged. If a vessel grounds the anchor can betaken apart and removed in small boats, thus lightening the; ships to a great extent; and, if one of the flukes should break,as is not unfrequently the case with anchors.it can readily be replaced on ship-board, one or more being taken along in view of accidents. The new anchor will, no doubt, be soon brought into general use upon vessels of all classes. Disturbance at Bed Bank Amity Lodge, No. 60. Knights of Pythias, had an ex cursion to Bed Bank yesterday. There was a large turnout of members and their families While engaged in enjoying themselves, the excursion party was intruded upon by a party of men, said to be adherents of a fire company who landed from a boat. This caused con siderable ill feeling,and there was more or less squabbling during’the .entire day. Between three and four o r clock in the afternoon a serious light occurred, andsomeadhorents’of another fire company joined in thofray. One party finally heat a retreat, and was so hard pressed that some of them jumped into the river to escape. A man, named Henry Stych, who was quietly en gaged in fishing, had on a red shirt somewhat similar to those worn by the roughs. He was mistaken for one of the rowdies, ahd was beaten severely about the head. He was brought to his home at No. 126 Hazel street and his injuries were attended to by a physi cian. ' When’the boat reached Christian street wharf last evening, four young men, who are supposed to have been among the roughs be haved in a disorderly manner, 'and were’ ar rested by the’Second District Police. They gave their names as Thomas Hoey, William Jacoby, Asa sletetus ana Augustus Pero and this morning were sent to prison by Alderman Lutz. .
