At 6:20 last night engine No. 12:1, train 14, was stopped by the driver, 3Iayard, two miles north of Belivue. lie may have stopped to light his pipe, but the true reason was he only had eighty pounds of steam, which was not sufficient to force water into the boiler while running, so he had to step fer that purpose, lie was pulling four car loads of stock and other cars containing mis cellaneous merchandise. He sent back a man to flag engine No. 177, driver Green; fireman, Spiltcr; before the man done so he called him back. Tke conse quence was that Green run his engine, which was goirg at the rate of eighteen miles an hour, full force into the rear car of 14, which was backing preparatory to starting. No. 177 jumped the track sideways and landed on the wheels perfectly erect, tender on top mashed out of shape, and the cars of both of trains played hide and seek up and down and all around the track. It wng the most confused Liggeldy piggeldy wreck that we have ever wit nessed. Fifty head of stock were killed, dumped on cars, and taken to South Omaha, to the rendering houses. Ten or twelve were injured and men were going among the poor beasts shooting theui to put them out of their misery. About a dozen went scampering mad through the bushes.

RAID ON PARADISE HALL. The Lime Kiln Club Suffers a Loss of Si3,000,C00 Destruction of Uclics. The first thing in order when the meeting opened was a report as to the amount of damages sustained by the raid on Paradise hall. Brother Gardner said that a careful estimate had been made by the committee, and the damage would not fall far short of $:j,000,000. The club would have to bear every dollar of this loss, as the insurance only covered lire. Over 100 sacred and his torieal relics which could not be replaced for any sum had lieen destroyed. It was a hard blow at the purso of the club, but business would not be interrupted for a single hour. Even should the hall le destroyed the next meeting of the club would be held in the common council chamber, and permanent quarters would be had within a week. Noth ing had thus far been heard of the vandals, and it was probable they made their escape. It might be that human justice would never overtake them, but there was a heraf ter from which they could not escape. The hall had been put in shape again, and during the next few days Giveadara Jones and Dreadful Smith would protect it, one watching by day and the other by night. Each had bsen armed with a shotguu filled to the muzzle with buckshot, shingle nails, marbles, carpet tacks and lead nickles, and the marauder who got within half a mile of one of them would never attend another ward caucus. The destruction of. relics was telegraphed over the country, and the many friends of the club bestirred themselves to replace the museum. The following articles were re ceived during the week: Six swords which were more or less worn by Napoleon on his retreat from Moscow. Five relics from Valley Forge, all of which were used by George Washington. Various cups, bottles, candlesticks, pad locks, boot jacks and jack knives used by celebrated privateers as they sailed the raging main. Tomato cans, clay pipes, poker chips and checker boards which were used by various crowned heads from the Thirteenth to the Sixteenth century. The secretary was instrnctsd to return the thanks of the club to the various donors, and to publish an appeel to the country ct largo to contribute f urther objects of interest. Letters of condolence wera announced from several branches of the government, from a wore of different societies, and from nearly lOO honorary members. It was noticed and whispered about thut not one singlo missivo had been received f rojn a member of the leg islature, and presently WaydownBebeearo:.e to a question of privilege and called the at tention of the club to this point.

The first day of congress, Ita3ner, of Mary land, sat beside a rather rough looking con gvessman from the south, and he noted that this member looked at him rather scruti nizingly. At last he turned to him and said. "By the way, sir, it seems to mo as though I have met you before." "I don't know," said Rayner; "it may be so, but I don't remember you," and the south ern congressman went back to" the congres sional directory which he was reading. A moment later, in a different tone of voice, he turned to Rayner and said: "By the way, do you remember a fellow who roomed next to you at school, who never did any work w hile tX college, and who hasn't done anything to speak of in the seven teen years since then P "Yes," replied Rayner, "I do remember that there was a mighty lazy f;ilow who roomed next to me-at college. I inow that Le did not do any work while ho was there, but as to bis doing .any work since then I don't know, for I haven't heard from him.
