He reports everything lovely at the "Fort," Those luxurant ''mut- tnn-choDB ' make him Iook like a "blarsted Britisher." William Graham, a young man who has been working on Polen'a mill on Bobb s Creek, met with a severe accident nn Monday morning last. He was running on the morning tour, and it was shortly after the mill had started .up at 1 o'clock, when the accident took place. He was standing on the car riage, near the saw, and while another man was fixing a lamp hanging over head, it fell ; in dodging to oue side to keep the oil from running over him his right hand struck the saw, which was under full motion, cutting the second, third and little fingers so that nothing was leftf but the skin to hold them. He was brought to this place immediately aud Dr. Coburu "dressed the wound j only the index finger and thumb were saved, and the man is resting a3 easy as possible under the circumstances. His home is in Ve nango County. The suggestion in our last issue that Kepler be hired to shovel snow off tbe sidewalks seems to have touched the very (?) fine sensibilities of the Knight of the Coffee-pot and so warm doth he wax that the "pot" boilelh over. He proceeds to twit the editor of this pr per upon his poverly, which conies with bad grace from a million aire (?) of such vast possessions. True, we don't own any real estate, neither do we carry upward of two hundred pounds of it around in a pair of No. 11 boots. It is very inconvenient at times to be poor, but it is by no means dishonest. We have not made a veiy soon learned a railroad accident had occurred at President station, seven miles below this place, and then all was excitement and confusion. It seems that the regular train pulled out of Oil City and was followed by the special. Both came aa far as Eagle Bock when they passed the 2 o'clock train down which stood on the switch at that place. The special train it is said was just two minutes behind the regular when they left Eagle Rock, about a mile below President. When the regular came to President it stopped to tako on a passenger, Mr. Joseph Green, and bad barely started a pa in when the special train came thundering around the short curve and dashed into the rear coe.ch of the reg ular. The crash was so terrific that the front end of the locamotive was broken in, allowing the steam to pour into the car and scalding some of the passengers terribly. The platforms of the different cars on tho regular were all more or less crushed aud the bag gage car was severely jammed, aud also the tank of the front locomotive As soon as possible the uninjured pass engers rushed out to see what the cause was and what damage was done. Mrs. Babcock was accompanied by her husband and "baby, and occupied seats near the rear of the car on tho sjde next to the river. Mr. Babcock who was holding the baby, chanced to look back just in time to see the spec ial coming around the curve. He jumped to his feet, sailed to his wife to come, rushed out of the back door and jumped over the embankment rolling down to the waters' edge with the child in his arms, both escaping without injury. Mrs. Babcock started to follow her husband, but seeing the train so near was frightened back, and endeavored to reach the forward end of the car; while making this endeavor the crash came. She was thrown be twecn the seats and the scalding steam critical. She is receiving tlio bent of care, and all that humau aid enn do ia being doue. Ono of tbe distressing features of this sad affair was the absence of both physicians from town, and not until after six o'clock were any able, to get here. Dr. Blaine had beeu attending professional call, and was in Oil City on his wav home at the time the disas ter took place. He came up on a special, bringing Dr. McCullough with him. Dr. Cobum was also protession all' absent. Just where to attach the blame of tho accident cannot be determined at this writing, and until tho facts are all known judgment should be suspen ded. That the special was running too close on the heels of the regular train there is no doubt. Altogether the catastrophe is a most, distressing one, and we hope we may never bo obliged to chronicle a similar occurrence in this section. That the injured ones may speedily and fully recover is the prayer of all our citizens. P. S. For a good many of the par ticulars of the occurrence we are in debted to the Derrick, whose chief edi tor, Mr. Taylor, was in the smoking car at the time of the wreck. ATTEMPTED BANK BURGLARY.

Had we beeu so fortunate as to have a heavily insured house burn down some time or other, we might have been a little farther along in the world.

None of the passengers in the smoking car or on the special were iniured . .it Mr. McK.im, the mail agent, iiiiuk ing the car he was in was likely to roll over the bank, threw himself out ef the mail window. Striking against the embankment he was thrown back into the ditch ; to save himself from going under the cars he threw out ljis hand and struck it on the rail in front of the two forward wheels which pass ed over it, crushing it badly, The fireman of the special jumped off, but the engineer siuck to the en gine, and escaped injury. The injured parties were brought to this place by the engine of the regular train. Mr. liunter a lace and nanus are very much swollen this morning, but the doctor says he is in no danger Mr. McKim was oblised to have the second, third and fourth fingers anipu tated ; the rest of his hand is unin jured. Mr. Van Every a injuries were dressed at President: he was taken home tlm morning and at last ac counts was resting easy. At thia writing Mrs. Babcock is very low, and the Doctor has serious doubts of her recovery. Having inhaled tbe steam it is feared her lungs are scald ed, which makes her condition very Our citizens were aroused and ex cited ou Saturday morning last by learning of a second attempt to bur glarize May, Park & Co.'s Bank. The first discovery was mado by the hostler at the Central House, who upon going to tbe barn found the lock on the door bad been broken, and on investigation found that two blankets had been stripped from the horses, arid ono of the blankets missing. Going ont again he found tracks leading to the rear end of the bank, just across the street, and theie found that one of the win dows had been pried open. Mr. Kelly was immediately apprised aud upon entering tne building found things in a very bad condition. Tools of all descriptions, from a small -drill to a large iron erow bar, were strewn about on tbe floor. A sledge-hammer, two or three small hammers, and numer ous other tools belonging to the Rail road company were found. The carpet in the rear office was torn up and placed over tho safe. The two outer doors had been blown completely off the hinges, evidently with powder; this was done by drilling through the doors. The knobs of both doors were bursted off evidently to save drilling A desperate attempt had been made to enter the inside door, or burglar proof box, the knob having been bro ken off, and an effort made to get sum cient powder in to blow it open, but the thieves found this too much ot iob and abandoned it, no doubt on account of the near approach of day light. The explosions ware heard by several citizens living near the bank one about 2:00 a. tn., and tho other about 4:00 but no one seems to have had their suspicions aroused to any degree. Tho explosions produced a sort of heavy dull thud, no doubt deudened by throwing the carpet and blankets over the safo. The thieves secured between $30 and $60 in small money, such as silver dollars, halves, quarters, tea cunt pie ces and nickels, which they found in a drawer kept for that purpose, the bulk of the money being in the burg lar proof box aud was not reached. After making a survey of the situa tion the next thiug in order was to catch the burglars if possible. They were tracked to the opposito side of the river, thence down tho railroad track, sufficiently for to couvince those who were after them that they were heading for Oil City, or thai vicinity. Telegrams were sent to Chief of Police Smith Neill, who prepared himselfand was on tbe lookout for any suspicious characters tbnt might turn up iu the city. In the evening Sheriff Randall, accompanied by D. W. Clark and A. B. Kelly went to Oil City on the train, where they met Chief Neill. Tho ac count of the capture of one of the men we cull from the Derrick's report, which Mr. 'Clark says is correct: "After Neill and the Tionesta gentle men held a consultation, it wns de termined to wait a while, in . order to givb the thieves, who had doubtless trono over the hills, time to reach the . i.. .i . :. . x', :i I l i 'l .1- C'liy. iu iue eveuuig uui vuiu commenced a systematic search, by visitiugall the public thinking and gamiug houses in the city. This was toiltiiit'j until ubout luiduight with out finding tiie men. They thercfota retired. "Clark is a citin of Tioneita who has had soma experience in the detect ive business. He had noticed two or threo suspicious-looking characters around that jilrt 9 during the week and thought ho would recognize them if he saw them, lie left orders when ha-retired to ho called early, aud wis out betiinjs yistarlxy morning. While sitting in WilliaJi Dyer's Netv York hotel, in the Third ward, read iog. bechanced to look up and 8tO'ico recognized one of the men ho had seen at Tionesta. 11a preteuded uot t notice him. but at tho same time ob served the fellow kept his cap pulled down over his eyes. ' As soon as ho could dit so without rousing suspicion, he loft tho hotel and proceeded to the residence of Chief Neill. The two then returned to tho hotel. The man evi dently knov Neill, because as soon as hifnaw him coming he started up the street towards tho suspension bridge. Neill followed, tho fellow gradually increasing his speed. Neill noticed that he had his hand on his revolver, which he carried i'i his hip pocket. . Instead of going on the bridge, tho auspicious-looking chap turned down tho railroad track, Btill keeping his hand on his shooliug iron and oeca- . sionally casting his eyes at the officer, At an opportune moment Neill cov ered the chap with his revolver and told him to ftop. He at once wilted and at once threw up tho sponge. Neill then put the irons on his man and put him in the lock up. Upon searching him the officer found enough to convince lum ha had got the right man. Ja hu pockets he found two ten dollar bills, oue five, one one, three five dollar gold pieces, one package of ten cent pieces coutaiuing three dol lars, and three packages ot nickela containing ono dollar each, making forty-rtveu dollars in all. In addition to thrs he had several leet of water proof fuse, four or five gimlets and bits, a tin funnel or blow pipe, evidently used for blowing powder into locks, and a revolver. . "A Derrick reporter visited the lockup last evening rfnd had a talk , with the chap. He is a mau, proba bly about thirty years of cge, rather below the medium size, has a sandy mustacho and tmall, cut-like eyes that sparkle and glisten like diamonds They are what would bo termed very bad eyes. He speaks with a strong Irish brogue, and gives his name as Charles St. Charles. He admits hav ing been in Tionesta during tho week, and says he wes there Wednesday or Thursday, he is not positive which. Some of the bits in his possession were recently welded. When asked who did it for him li a said "1 blacksmith in Bradford did it " Ho said he did not khow hi3 name. When asked if ha made any acquaintances in Tionesta he answerod that he did not. He was also asked what his business was wheu there, to whieh he replied that he "didn't have to tell." He says he for merly worked in Millerstown for a mau named Ilogsn, and that recently he was engaged in Bradford. He denies having been accompaoied by friends when in Tionesta. and say there were none with him at Dwre hotel. "The evidence against him, howev er, is couclusive. Some of the money known to have been taken from the bank, was found in his possession, to gether with a complete kit of bur glar's tools." Officer Neill and Clark arrived in town with their man nn Monday and ufter waiving a hearing he was bound over to court and lodged iu jail. He is very close-mouthed aud reticeut about conversing. The name giveu above corresponds with the one on tbe register at the Central House, where he stopped Wednesday night. He seems to have had no business in town. At the instance of Mr. Kelly Constable Swailes arrested a straajrer on Monday. who claimed to bo a traveling tinker, There beiug no evidence against himj except bis general appearauce and the bu?iue&8 he follow, he was discharged, from custody. The Derrick concludes its artichj with the following compliment to th gentlemen who captured the fellow! "Much credit is duo Chief Neill fo! tho business-like way in which he cap! tured his man ; but Neill always doe' his work effectually, expeditiously methodically, aud as simply as A. I C.
