The en gine was rolled down the embankment and two cars were thrown Ironi the track.' The engineer and fireman were slightly injured, but none of the passen gers were hnrt. The train was moving at a slow rale of speed nt tho time, which probably was the reason that a fatal accident to the engineer or fireman or both was prevented.

There was & full attendance at the Opere House last eight nearly every seat befog taken to witness the initial performance of the Cora Van Tassel Company who are billed here for the present week. The play selected was "Fanchon, the Cricket,1' in wbich Miss Van Tassell appeared in the title role. She is a most charming woman with a good stage presence, a sweet voice and mobile features which fully expresssed her emotions, and at once won the hearts and sympathies ot her auditors Much of her acting was really fine, but there were certain stagey manner isms that somewhat detracted from the efiect of her impersonation of that way- wara cnaracier. ane is evidently a painstaking and conscientious artist, who is fully devoted to her proles?ion, and is far superior to many who have appeared here as star5.". Some of her support was go id. and some was not. but taken as a whole the play was well given, and the - audience were well pleased. Some of the most beautiful and p&tbetic portions of. tho dialogue. however, were lost to the listeners in consequence of the intolerable ill-mannered rudeness of some of those in the gallery and in the dTess circle Their noise was the cause of universal com plaint. We hope that it may not be repeated. To-night the company will present a double bill and every indica tion points to a crowded house. The emotional Irish drama, 'Kathleen Mavourncen," will be the first piece and this Will b9 followed by the laugha ble comedy, "Uncle Joshua .Whit comb " The latter play has been made famous by Mr. Denman Thompson.
