The Railway Strike. \Ye pmmme every one. of our reeiler* have heard before this of the t>pj>gVof the Orwnd Trunk R-.iil- ' Way traffic, and have inquired into ' the causes, of iu Between Friday . eveniug of l.M^t- wet-k and Tuesday morning of tlija werk not wear or a locomotive passed over the line. The fiat wentl forth from : the chief b - - - " - of the "Brotherhood, and the eugin- errs ono and nil promptly obeyed.' Steam lias shut off, the- fires put on'and locomotives ami trains left st indirij] npon the" track, at half |ut ei|;ht Friday erening, and there ni<t;of thenj remuined,.until yeaterdar. Without entering into, details a i to the why and the where fiicr, it is sufficient for the public lolknow: that they have been very shamefully and heartlessly dealt i>itli,ito.l it will be wonderful if tfcey do not itwnt. There is no doubt the mil way .company will be the heav iest losers- by the transaction, but travellers and shippers will be .almost in re to .demaud cotnpensa- tiou for their disapjiointment, and the hint bers of law suits that will ensue is fearful tocohierailate. The jengineeis have gained their point, andjre iiresum* they are satisfied. They ought to be made to bear a large aliare of the loss consequent on their'ill advised action. It is stimated that it will coat about f*iOO to put each engine on the roac again *qual tp its former condition, and the amount it will coat the company for delayed -pas sepger*, Jce., will be enormous. The municipal elections this'! year falling upn a holiday, a greater debtee of interest was manifested thsn, usual in our village, and "wo _presmm| such was also tho case,in other municipal!- tic*. Although nothing definite cou}<l be ascertained as'to the proliable result, everybody aoemetl to be taking a lively interest in thai success of the various candidates, and .when the hour of five o'clock arrived tho excitement waa-At favor heat. The first count of thp bjs.1- lota gave two of the - candidates for councillors a tie', and nearly two ; hoars elapsed before tho tiual rosnlt wks an- nounced, as follnas: ' j ' Reave John 1*. Sjvord 5$. . Councillors D. P. Christie $3', David Henderson "J*; fedward Niekjlin ~66 ; Charles Sydney Smith 66- !(tlijese four, being dec tod); H. J. Hail 65 ; James Matthews 55. A'few votes wjerc also polled for Messrs. Rydtr, iMojore and Snyder, 'who wore virtually not candidates. ?V. In tho township of Esquesing there was a lively contest' ovet the candidates for the First and S*oond Deputy-Roeves. " For First' Depu ty" there were three candidates nominated, but a fow.j<luy*W(ore the election Mr. McEuery retired, leaving the contestbetween Messrs. John Warren and Geo. "Wriggles- worth. The result of the polling gave Mr. Warren the handsome majority of 59, being a total tf 278 vote* against . 219, thus evincing -the confidence the electors have in hit integrity and ability to con tinue to serve them in that apafi- ty.

A- s]Mcial from Asli tabula, Ohio, says the wrecked train had eleven cars, including one diawing-rooni car, throo: sle<!peis, jne smoking car, two Ih'dt oldHs coaches,.and four haggago and express cars. It /iwas drawn.by two engines. The seven passenger coaches altogether cou- tninod about 16r> adults, besides miinber of children. Iit-tbe draw ing-room csr, which was bound for Cleveland, wrere nine persons, all of whom are supposed to have perished by drowning or fire. -In tbe two sleeiiers, bound for Chicftgo, there wore thirty-five p'lissengers, and most of those in the forward car are saved, with injuries more or lens severe. Within i'very- fer mo ments after the ciiash the names burst out simultaneously from nearly every car, j .-.; '"~ Daniel,McGuire| engineer of tbe forward ongiue, relates | that the train was running at a slow rate, and just as they had fairly 'crossed the high bridge, which is not more than forty rods distant from the depot, they felt a violent jur, and in an instant the coupling between the two engines bad broken, and the whole train was thrown with the bridge into tho river, soma sixty feet below. McGuire says that his engine was. pulled back nearly to the edge of the broken span before tbe coupling severed, and it regain ed its forward motion barely in time to save I itself. The bridge^ over AsbtabuU River was an iron truss bridge, and bad been in - use about eleven years. -A crowd soon made their way to the burning deb ris, and with the did of axes and ropes many were extricated, "placed on stretchers and taken to the top of the bill wbero the best of assist- .ance awaits them.
