Serious Railroad Accident A serious accident occurred about eleven o'clock yesterday, at the yard of the Pitts burgh National Coal Company, on Try street, between Third and Fourth, by which David. Flavin, a brakeman, employed by the company, had his left leg ernshea so badly that it will have to be amputated, and also received serious internal Injuries. A train was bucking into the yard, with a number of coal cars in front of which there were several open freight ears. Flavin was' staffding en the bumper of the front coal car next to the freight car ready to cat the coal cars loose as soon as they had been run into the yard. When the rear car struck the bumper, he signaled the en gineer to stop, but his signal r for some cause , was not heeded, and the engineer continued to back the train. The roar car being against the buMper, the tmin could get •no further back, and the consequence was'.,hat the end of the freight car and the Omit coal car upon .which, .the brake man was standing, were raised up, and at length the coal car dropped, letting the end of the - freight car fall ,-ou the platform, catching the Mg of 'the breakfnan and crushing it in the manner described. Drs. Sutton, Smith and Thomas were called in, and rendered all the assistance required, after which the injured man was removed to Mercy Hospital. The Doctors say the limb will have to be amputated, but the:mictration cannot -be perlbrmed the extent of his internal injuries' are as certained. This is the third accident which has occurred at this place within a year. One matt was killed about ten months since and some six weeks after another had his leg broken - and has not been able to work since. The Coal Company have been very generous, however, and paid the wages of the injured man ever since he was hurt, and they propose M.& the same in the present case; but have notified the Railroad Company that they would bold them responsible for the accident. It is alleged by the agent of the Coal Company that the accident was the result of carelessness on the, part of the eondue toi, trhom,:he says, gave the ,:signal to the engineer to move the train back after the brakentan bad signalled hint tolstro, Mr. ,Flavin lea ,young man about titenty seven yearkof age lind Sermerly 'bearded .

The Late Sculling ; Rage:--A. Card from Harry Coulter. A Philadelphia paper of Saturday con tains the following curd : . . Mn. Entront—As one of the principals in the late sculling match for the charn pionship of the American waters, it is due to myself and the public that a few words of explanation should be given.' Enthe Match on the 18th inst., a ft er the start', I led Hamill'nearly a boat length, when he. to the disgust of oven i some of his friemls, pulled into and "fouled" me. I was in My own course when he pulled into me, and as the boats came together he caught hold of my outrigger, witen,n my e ff orts to sap arateithe boats in ozd r to have a fair race, both Of us were preci itated into the water. I then turned my t up,, got into her, and asked Hamill to do the same, and pot disapPoint those who had come to witness .the match. He 'refused. I then pulled over the course and claimed the race. In accordance with the decision of Stephen Roberts, an old and honorable boatman, in the matoh between Hamill and Brown, at Newburg, N. Y., I was fairly entitled .to tho championship and stakes. He (Roberts) decided that as, Ifarnill was in the lead at Newburg, at the time of the alleged fen], .he,was entitled to the-rate. No one who saw the race on the 18th instant, will deny that I was in the lead, and that the foul was intentional_ on the part of Hamill, whom I charge with being' afraid to' row me a fair . 'and honorable race.; To-day; in order to satisfy a referee whose decision was partial in the' extreme, and to show that I meant business and desired to win upon my own: merits, I consented; -against the whams of my friends, to row the race again. - It seem ed, however, that fate as well as foul play was against me, for at the third stroke my oar snapped in two. Mr. Charles Elliott, one of the judges called Hamill back to makea fresh ;start; but Mr. White, the referee, called out to Hanna to go on. Mr. Elliott appealed to him to call Hamill baCk, especially as my friends had waived their claim on the day previous for the purpose ofdeciding which was the, better man. At the time of the breaking of my oar, we had not'fairly start ed, and 'were not more than two or three 'boat-lengths from the starting point. If there had been a particle of honor in the man who acted as referee, he would have ordered us back to make afresh start. - I have made the above statement for the purpose of placing myself fairly before the boatmen and citizens of 'Philadelphia, to whom I desire to return my thanks for many kind favors during my stay. I will' say, in conclusion, that I stand ready to ' row Mr. Hamill, or any other man, for any , amount he may be pleased to name, and at any time ho chooses.. H. couvrxn, . Champion of America.
