A dat 8 chapter of accidente in Massachusetta : At Salem, as a train was running down a crowdcd pier, it struck a group of five persons, küling Wilbur F. Swazoy, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Swazey, and Miss Rachel Gifford, nieter of Mr. Bwazey, and injuring two otiiers ; at Spriugfield, a conductor and brakoman wcro killed aud several otbcrs wounded by acolliftion between two traína ; at Woreestor, John Mahoney and Tilomas Winn were killed by the blowing down of a brick wall The miuers of the Wyomiug coal región, of PennHylvauia, are etill idle. Acts of violenee are of common occurrence. The military are still at Scranton, Pa., and an excursión train composed of ofBcers aud citizon was nearly wrockcd recently by a purposely miBplaccd switch. At Pittaburgh, Pa., last week, three strikers wcre found guilty of contempt for interfering with the running of trains on the Central railroad of New Jersey, after the ame had passed into tho hands of a receiver appuinted by tho court. Tliey wore sentencod to pay tho costs of prosecntion and a fine of $100 and undergo ninety dave' imprisonment. A juttu; boy supposed to be tho missing Charloy Koss was taken by the Sheriff of Clarke county, Oliio, to Germantown, Pa. Thcre was rouch exciteraent in tho town over the arrival of the ehild. and a groat crowd gathered at the B088 mansion to get a view of him. Many of the neighbors who remembered Charley were firmly of iho opinión that the lost boy had at last been reoovered, but Mr. and Mrs. Kosn, while admitting tbat the Ohio lad bore a strong resemblance of their child, wero positivo that he was not Charley. THE WEST. No mttle oxcitement has been caused in Chicago by the failure of the State Savings Institution, the leading savingti bank in tho city, and at one time conaidered ono of tho soundest financial concerns in the Northwest. Bad assets, injudicious management, and a slight run on the bank, consequent upon the recent faiiures in St. Louis, are raid to have been the causes that brought about the emashup. The total deposita amounted to 2,931.576, the bulk of which was the hird earnings of industrious poor people, who are illy preparod to bear the loss. The affairs of the concern have been placed in the hands of an asignee. It is claimed bv the ofiicers of the bank that tho dividend for depoRitors will realizo 80 or 90 per cent St. Louíh papers record the death of Ben DeBar, the woll-known actor and theatiïcnl manager. . . . Chicago elevators contain 306,831 bnshels of wheat, 1,412,43 bnshels of corn, 807,370 bush els of oats, 117,127 bushels of rye, and 90,G33 bushels of barley, making a grand total of 2,234,424 bushels, against 3,227,099 bushels at this poriod last year Tho Knights Templar of the Unitod States hold their trionnial conclave at Cleveland a few days ago. The parade was one of the ftnest ever witnossed in the country, over 8,000 plumed Knights boing in line. Home difiicult and beautiful maneuvers were executed during the march. Bbioham Yoitno, the Mormoa saint, died at Balt Lake City, on the 29th of August, of cholera morbus, at the age of 76 years. He had suffered but a short time, but his demise was not altogether unexpected, as his years weighed heavily upon him, and he was not in phytsical condition to withstand the ravagoa of his malady. A tekkible accident occurred on the ChicaTío, Rock Island and Pacific railroad, near Des iloines, on the morniag of Aug. 29. The scene of tho calamity 8 eight miles east of Des Moines and two miles west oí the village of Altoona. Leaving tho latter place the road curves down and around the small branches so as to cross Four-SIile creek. At the crosting of the creek there waa a stone-arched culvert, with the ordinary wooden superstructura. The rains oí two days had culminated in a deluge, continuing almost incessantly during Monday night, The; train was composed of three coaches, a sleeper, baggage and mail car, and Barnum's advertisiug car, the lattor being next to tho eugine. The train lef t Altoona nearly on time,, and ran at about tho usual speed toward Des Moines. Approaching the Little Feur-líile culvert, the engineer, Billy Rakestran, discovered the washout and applicd the air brakc,but it was too late to avort a disaster. The engine went tlirough, followed by Barmim's car, which was ko completely wrecked as to cause surprise that all the twelve persous thereiu wcre not instantly killed. Tho baggage car was thrown entirely across the creek, the smoking car followed, but, while a number were hurt, one person only- the peanut boy- was killed. Tbío is aceountedforbythofact that the second coach went into aud under the first, whiie tho third was alsoforcedmoreunderthanover. In these two last occurred the creatert loss of life. The Hleeper was btopped on the rery edge of the chasm, and none of thc passengers in it were injured. The flceue at the time can be bettcr imagined than doscribed. The í-teady pour of rain, the flftahing lightning abovo, the rushing waters tx'low, the erashing of wood and irou, the frantic shrieks of imprisoned passengerB, the groans of the wounded- all these and more combiued to make a scene of terror fiickoning to contémplate. As soon as posrible help was summoned from Altoona and Dos Moinos. Tho officers and employés of the road did all they could to recover tho bodios of the dead and add to the comfort of the wounded. Twenty dead bodies were taken from the wreek. and about nfty persons were wounded, sonie of them sobadly that they can scarcoly recover. The scone at the time of the accident is described as having been terrific ; rain was falling m torrents, accompanied by wind, lightning and violent thunder. Tho crash put out the lights, and the scene of terror ensuing may well be imagined. The uien who were not Injured and could get out went to work at oneo to rescue the living and the wounded. They had to go a mile to a fann-honse to get axes to chop thein out ; but they worked heroically, aud by daylight had the most of tho wouuded rescued. Tiiere were umiy pitiful scènes and touching incidents. One niother was killed, sitting between two children, whq escaped unhurt. One little girl, who had lain in the water for four hours, with a heavy man lying dead beneath her body, was discovered to be breathing, and was rescuod and restored, and now shows no eigns of injury. As investigatiou into the affair of the collapsed State Savings bank, of Chicago, shows it to havo been one of the worst cases of failnre on record. Of the $3,000,000 confidingly intrustcd to its keeping by 15,000 of the city's poor, it is doubtful if they will ever recover 'm much as even a sixth. Tho bank, it appears, ha been run solely in tho interest of the rascally officers, nearly all of whom have fled to parts unknown. Spencer, the President, it is bclieved, has taken refuge in Canada .... ExOov. Wilsón Shannon, of Kansas, is dead A monument ha been erected to the meniory of John Brown by the citizens of Osawatomie, Kan. A Salt Lake dispatch says the government of the Mormou church has paesed into tho hands of Ihe Twelve Apostles, ten of whom were present at the funeral of Yonng. Two of them (Joseph P. Smith and Orson Pratt) are in England. It is not likely there will be another President of the church appointed for some time. A sad calamity occurred in Cincinnati one day last week. An excavation below the foundation of a dwelling-house caused it to tnmble down. Three persons wero killed, one fatatly wounded, and three or four others severely injnred. The obsequies of Brijxham Young, at Balt Lake City, were remarkably eommon-place, considering the eminence of the man in the eommuuity whcre he hved and died. The body was inclosed in a p!aiu redwood coffin, and was borne to the gnive by the employés of thc late President. The cortege was preceded by a band and followed by the family, the different orders of the pnesthood and the adherents, aü on foot THE SOUTH. A Columbia (8.

A London correspondent telegraphs on Aug. 29: " Intclligence from Schipka is to tho effect that fighting in still going on. This is without doubt the greatest battle of the war, having now beon ia progresa soven days. It is estimated that the Turka lost not less than 10,000 men, while tho Russians lost 3,000. During theso successivo fights in the Balkans the Russiaas have had a vastly inferior forco even with Radetaky'a reinforcements, and only naturally strong positiona saved them froln the furious chargos of tho Turkish infantry. Tho issue appcars likely to turn upon the qnostion which can bring up tho greatest reinforcemonts in tho shortest posaible time. It ia obvioualy Suleiman's plan to wear out the defenderá of the pass by using constant relays of fresh troops, and he would undoubtedly succoed in tho eud if the Russians were not lso being rocruited by fresh arrivals. Tho crisis in thia year's campaign Í8 now impending. Appoarances indícate that tho tide, which ha Deeii favorable heretofore to the Turks, is now turning and bearing the Rusaians to victory.". . . . The Czar has at length consentd to the participation of tho Roumanians in the war, and thoir battalions have comnienced crossing the Danube into Bulgaria. A teleobam from Pera, dated Aug. 31, aays : " The preliminary useless and bloody assaults on the front of the Russian posiüons have been abandoncd, and the investment of the Russian right flank commenced. The natural obstados encountered by the Turks are of tremendous magnitude. Guns have been draggod by hand up height almost impassableby unencumbered footmon. In the charges and counter-charges at tho position gained by tho Turks on tho Buaaian flank the resulta were niurderoua. On the slope in front of the Turkish guna defending tho line of the rifle-pits 210 Russian bodios were left within a space seventy-fivo yarda square. Quarter was rarely given or taken in this attack. From tho beginning of the aBsault on Schipka, the fighting has been often hand-to-hand, and tho dead outnumber the wounded." It is stated that the Roumanian army will preserve its individuality, allhough acting in concert with the Euasians.. ..The Porte has ordered tho concentration of 20,000 Turkish troops on the Servían frontier. Accounts aro received by way of Conatantinople of a battle fought in Bulgaria on the 31st uit. between tho Russians and the Turka under Mehemot AU. The latter mado the attack, and hia report of the fighting claims a victory for the Turks, with a loas of 3,000, while thë Russians lost 4.000. A Shumla dispatch, also Turkish, confirma the claim of a decisivo success, and represents that the Russian poaitions wore carried after repeated assaults. Some minor victories are alao claimed A Bucharest dispatch says overy detail of the preparations snows that the Russiana have made up their minds for a long war, unless, indeed, they are actiog with the intention to deceive. In Asia Minor the Ruxsians continue their advanco toward Sookgoom-Kaleh. Thcre has been some sharp skirmishing, resulting, accordiug to Russian accounts, in the defeat of the Turks. Cable dispatches state that Osman Pasha'a attack on tho Russian posiüons at Pelisat and vicinity was one of the most hardly-fought battles of tho war, and resulted in a aubstantial victory for the Muscovites. The strugglo was for the possession of a redoubt held bv the Russians. The Turks, with the most desperate valor, charged the poeition time and agaiu, only to be repulsed. They finally withdrew, leaving the valley in front of the enemy's batteries filled with dead and dying. The Turkish loss was 2,500 killed and wounded, the Russians losing abont one-fifth that number A dinpatch f rom Bucharest statea that the bulk of Suleiman Pasha's army has retired from activo operations againnt the Rusbian garrisou in Sehipka pass I'rince Charles, of ïtoumania, has issued a manifestó to hia troops, announcing that he has been appointed to the supremo command of the Ruenian and Roumanian armiea before Plevna. The Tiu-ks acknowledge the loss of 7,000 men in Schipka pass. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

A dispatch from Pesth announceB that the Bosnian uiburgents have been again totally defeated near Czernypotak, and dnven over the Austrian frontkr. Dispatches from London on Aug. 30 state that after tho denperato bnt unsuccessful attempt of the Turka to drive tho Rusaians out of Schipka pass on Sunday the attack was1 not renewed, and up to Tuesday the oppoeuig forcea confined themsclvea to outpost ekinniahing. The Turks appear to have secured possession of some beights which threaten the Rusaian flanks and are bevond reach of the Russian battcries. Radetzlty had been heavily reinforced. and expected to be able to hold his position, while the Turks wero taking advantage of the suspension of actual fighting to construct strong earthworks in the valley of thüTundja.
