It 1s the ceneral oplnlon that the Rallcay Age has been very unjust toward Commissionor Guiiford, and thst ho did not deserve the cast(- gatlon he recelved, It is true that Mr, Guilford has somewhat brusque manners, and, it not in tho right kind of humor, is apt to treat a visitor rather harshly, Ils had one of his bad days when the 1ate managers’ meeting was held In this city, and he treated the editors of the Age, as well as other news 'r men who came to him for informnation, yery discourteously, which probably causcd the write the article tn question, Had tho e confingl fts at- tack on Mr. Quilford’ to his manners, no one would have found foult with ft, but to sttack his mental, moral, and social qualitics 1s considered unjust and tn- fair. Al thoss who kuow Mr. Gullford are unasimous In nylng that he s a capable rail- road man, well qualified for the responsible du- ties of his position. Ie has been General Freight-Agent of the Baltimors & Ohlo Rail- roud for six years. and has earned an_cxcellent reputation for n{‘uit and sbility. Tho state- ment that Mr, Gullford has antagonized the dnily press is also unfair. While Mr, Guilford has not always treated the members of the daily press with that courtesy to which they believed themselves cutitied, yet at other thnes he treat- cd them very klnd‘y, and furnished them with all the Inforiation lie could cousistently give. Mr. Gullford adimits that ho kas offended tho editors of the Age, and feels sorry for ity but ho clnims that it was done unintentionally. e was crowded with work at the time, and felt greatly enraged beeatse ho was bothered so much by the members of the press who were in scarch of information. 1o has vowed to bo more caretul in the future and not step on the f‘lfl;nln-fll tho nowspaper wmen agaln i ho can elp THE MICUHIGAN CENTRAL. General Manager Ledyard, of the Michigan Central Raflrond, is belng prajscd on all sides for his able management of the road. When he became General Buperintendent, some fvo years ago, the Michigun Contral was heavlly In debt, and bad paid uo dividends for somo time. Mr. Ledyard has mot ounly suce ceeded in oxtinguishing tho debt of the road, but he has also greatly improved its conditivn, Besldes this, the Dircetors at thefr Inst meceting wero coabled to declare o dividend of 2 per ceut from the surplus carnings.

Suatmaron, Pay April 5.~Early this morn- ing o terrible accident occurred on the Lehigh Valley Rallruad, resultiog fn the destruction of much valoablo property. Frelght-train No. 49, which left Mauch Chunk about ten minutes past 4 in the morning, had arrived here on time, when tho engineer dlacovered that a journal was hot, snl stoppod in order to letitcool oft. While the traln was waiting, engine No. 154 came tear- fug along st a speéd of twenty fmifes an hour from the direction of Mauch Chunk, with forty ofl-tanks and four frelht- cars, - sod ran with frightful force into the rear of the stationary train, The en- gine at once, cxploded, tearing the bridge to pleces, throwlug soveral cars from - the track, and fifteen oll-tanks into Trout Creck: A large number of the remalning oll-tanks quickly caught fire, creating a lurid glare that was scen for miles around, and setting the town afire. The machine-shop and . foundry ot Brown & Willlans, which caught fire, {8 a total logs, catl- mated at $30,000, with no lnsurance. A:portion of the eugine from the explosion was thrown through the ‘roof of the house occupled by Jocob Hummel, situated about 100 yards from the explosion, striking near the bed occupled by Hummel and his wife. They were not injurcd. Soveral buildings were shattered and glass broken. tortionsof the englue aud cars were thrown over 800 yards. Engincers Watmore and Mosser wero slightly fujured. A vortion of the depot platform is destroged.

All freight trains wlil be discontinued for the prescut, ‘Yo firo {8 stitl burning, but no further dam- ago is fearcd. Had it not been for the presence of mind of Charles Ruth, of Readlng, who suggested that thocars of the rear portion of the traln be uncoupled, and by main forco pushed back one by onc, the entire town would have becn de- stroyed. Twenty cars were pushed back, and the wind blowing south frow tho town pre- vented any further damago to buildings, An oll tank exploded very soon after the col- 1islon, making » terrific nofss and scattoring the burniug oll in all directions, Willlam Shoe- maker was Inatantly killed, Danlel Ebver, Ed- ward Selbert,* Georgo Jones, John Kelner, Aaron Snyder, Williom Kafo, Joseph QGofds- berg, John Roliuback, Levi Iughes, Samucl Marshall, and Arthur Wiltlams wero o', burned badly, and Eber nas diod of his injurics. The Lebigh Valley depot was sct on fire, but the flames are under control. The cxploslon was caused by emptying tho tanks from below when they were so far burped that there was & vacuum, into which the flames rushed with the above fearful rcault. Tho flames shot up forty or fitty feet lnto tho alr, creativg a grand spoctacle, which drow thousands of pcuple from their carly morning labors to stand and gaze upon the scene. When the bridge, which was of fron, fell from tho shock, fifteen oll-cars were precipitated Into New Yurk Wortd, April 8, Mme.
