Ail ucci 'out occurred yesterday Tternoon to thu mixed freight and MiHAungor train on thu Omaha and St. 'mil read , duo in this city atfi o'clock in the evening. The escape from a lorriblo disastei and loss of life wan HO close as to bu anything but pleasant o those who experienced the shaking up. up.Tho train was leaving a atniion vbout fourteen miles above thin city when the rear conch jumped the track. _ The car was dragged nloim Tor quite a distance in Uiia condition , bumiini ] , ' over v.iila and tiuH and shak ing the pasaenguit ) about in a live ly manner , bruising several of them up more or IOBN , but fortunately not breaking any bones for any onu. At length tlio car was detached from thu train and How crotswiso of thu truck , at right angles to it and within a few fuut of u precipitous embank ment of great height , down which u plun o would Imyu bocn miru death tu almost everyone in the ear. The pas < auiigurs say tlio car hung in cijuipoisi over this frightful abysa and it was i1 ( invHtion at lirut whether it would nol tumble down , but huk was on tlu side of the pnssungoi : ) .

Goaernl DcmoraHzntlon of PAnsen- Ror Trnirui All the legs itro broken off of the t * . ' . time table of late , but it will soon bo repaired and yood as now. The snow and extreme cold weather west of MB have combined to delay trains and a few accidents sandwiched in iavo furthered thu nticcms of tlio plot. Tlio train due in Omaha at . ' 1:25 : rcntorday arrived ohortly after 12 to day , and wao preceded only fifteen nimitcA by the Denver cxnrexs , due at 7 i'm thin morning. Tlio latter wan lelayed by n wreck at Clark's Station , and .No. < 1 by n wreck at Itawlins , and ly the weather afterwards. The eastern trains were all hto SaS urday the Rock Island thirty min lies , thfl NortliwentLrn two lioure , nd the 0. li. & Q. an hour and a half. There wcro no coaches in the Omaha U.

The few cold nights of the * past week added another source of enjoy- ncnt to those who have the time and lisposition to utilize it. In the two argo basins north and south of Farn- lam street , on the river bottom , ice Ian formed to a thickness of three or our inches. The boys wcro not slow in discovcr- ng this , nnd on Saturday afternoon Avoor three hundred skaters were on- eying the first winter sport of the oason. Neither did the youngsters ofrain from the same indulgence yes- erday , and nearly as many were kimming over the ko in joyous glee , nnd making the bottoms resound with heir cries of "Shinnoy !

Two rinks are being built , no by Philbin and another by the ) ropriotor [ of the Tivoli garden , both if which will doubtless bo well pnt- onizcd.

ConsidciMblo of a sensation was caused to the passengers on the dummy rainw Saturday by the miuu'uvors of a reckless individual on the river. As the 10 o'clock dummy pulled mto the bridge attention was , of course , attracted to the surface of the Missouri , which was covered thickly vith floating cakes of icu , running n a channel about thirty foot wide , from which to tha shore on cither aide wus solid ice. While watching the iver a man was seen to go out from the shore near the smelting works fence and start for ho Iowa side. On reaching the open chrnnel he was seen to cross it , leap- ng from 0110 cake of ice to the other. [ t wag expected every instant that ho would miss his footing or break Jirongh and go down , but ho "made : ho rilllo" and reached the Bhoro on : ho opposite side in safety. As the train returned at 10:45 : a man , supposed to bo the same one , crossed in the same manner from the east side to ; ho west. It was no doubt the same nan , for it is not likely two such ool-hawly individuals live in ono day. Thrt passengers and train mon were of course horrified nt the sight of what seemed to bo a deliberate courting of loath , and they showered some ener getic curses on the head of the follow. Itis inoro tlian likely that the man liad attended the play of Undo Tom's Jiibinand seeing Eliza Harris cross ; ho Ohio , on the ice , with n child in ler arms , thought ho could do the same thing and ho did. If any onu olfo wants to try it , they may furnish v job for undertaker Jacobs and an item for THE BEE.
