By bw 2 A RAIROAD HORROR. Fatal Accident on the Pan Handle Road. FOUR CABS RUN OVER AN EMBANKME Five Persons Killed and Thirty Wounded. Conumsrs, Ohio, Sept. 22, 1876. A most frightful accident occurred at an early hour (his morning at Black Lick station, on the Pan Handio Railroad, about twelve miles trom this city. The train was running at the rate of perhaps forty miles an hour, when, trom some unknown cause, four cars of the train jumpod the track and rolled down an em- Dankment which is somo twenty-five or thirty feet bigh at that place. The engine, baggage car and mail car remained on the track, while those in the rear went off This leads sonfe to think that the accident was caused by a broken rail, while others are of the opinion that it was caused by jumping the track while making the curve. The cars that went over the eim- bankment are in a badly broken condition. CARE FOR THE WOUNDED. A gentleman who was on tho train states that the cars are fine enough to make kindling wood, and that there ia not a single wheel on any of the cai Tntel- gence was at once sent to the city, ana in afew minutes a wrecking train and physicians were on the scene of the accident, and every atteution was paid to the wounded. Conductor Lacy, who was in charge of the train, and bis assistants did what was in their power to alleviate tho sufferings of the wounded until assistance arrived. ‘The killed and wounded wero brought to the Unton depot, whence the wounded were removed to the hotels, the mpst of them going to the Exchange and National. The physicians from tho city responded promptly and were this morning busily ministering to the wants of their patients In the confusion which prevailed it was hard to get the names of the killed and wounded, THE KILLED. Four persons are known to have been killed out- right, two men and two children, One of the ktlled is # son of 8. P, Bonnett, of Cairo, 1, Lizoss Bancrott, aged three years, was killed, Wiltivm Kenehling, supposed to bo from Cincinnati. Isaac Thornton, Vanmeter, Iowa, THR WOUNDED, Of the wounded no adequate idea can be given of the number. Many of them took their regular traina at ‘he dopot and departed for their homes without re- porting to avg one, It is variously estimated that tbero must have been between thirty and forty who were more or less iojured by the accident. Some ot the wounds are very slight, while others aro quite erious, many of the injuries being about the head and tho upper portion of the body. The Union depot, this morning, had somewhat the appearance of a hastily do vised hospital. The emigrant room had been used to receive the wounded, where they were placed upon hastily constructed beds, from which they wero to be removed to the hotels. All but two had been removed ‘when the reporter visited the scene this morning, and they were very badly woanded, one of whom will perbaps die. About the depot, waiting for the trains, were a number of persons with heads bandaged, arms in shngs or limping around as best they could. all who were on the train speak of the accident asa most frightful one, and aro astonished that the doaths were so fow. The wounded at the Netl House are:— John Wolse aud four companions were bruised con- siderably and had their clothing torn almost to shreds. ‘They are from Morton, Mo., and were returning homo from Philadelphia, Mrs. W. H. Ellis and little girl, New Orleans. Mra. Ellis is badly bruised about tne head, but tho Aittle girl 1s unbars, Samuel Lentz, Philadelpnia; badly braised about tho Dody, but not seriously hurt. All of these were in the sleeping car. « The wounded at Davidson’s Hotel are:— George Ohmer, formerly owner of the depot restau- rant in this city. if His wile and daughter, who are seriously injured. The injuries received by this party are principally tnternal and body bruises, Mr, Ohmer is now a resi- dent of Dayton, Ubio, t J. D. Briggs and wifo, of Sfringfield, Mo., are badly braised, but not seriously. Mr. L. J. McCoy, who resides at No, 374 Eighth street, is seriously injured. He was resting quietly, but in such a condition that he could give no informa- Mon to the reporter. About ten of the wounded wero at the Exchange Hotel; also one of the dead, C. Brazelton and wife, of Greenwood, Folk county, Iowa, were in one room. He was suffering from serious cuts on tho thigh and head. His wile, avery large woman, has one wrist broken and the other dis- located. She ts very seriously cut and bruised about the face and head, and it is feared sho is seriously in- jured internally. Mr. and Mrs. J, R. Bancroft and their three chil- dren, aged respectively three, eight and tw years, are at this hotel, all injured, Mr. Bancroft was waik- ing about, but Mra Bancroft received internal in- Juries, and the children were more or less injured about the body.

THE POSTPONED TROT OF THURSDAY YINISHED— PAT MANN THE WINKER, The unfinished trot of Thursday, wherein five heats had been closely contested, was brought to a termipa- tion yesterday afternoon by Pat McCann winning the ceciding hes a length, The horses that were so unfortunate a8 not to bave won a heat on Thursday were excluded from paticipation in the race, and the three fortuvate ones had the affair to themsecives. Pa McCann iad scored two heats, Nil Desperandum two and Moscow one. On the track yesterday the pool sellers made an attempt to de some business while the horses were scoring, but very little was done, ag Vat McCann was the favorite at about three to one wjthout takers, The toliowing are the details of the Obishing heat:— Sizth Heat,—Afver « few preliminary scorings tho horses came for the word and were given ft at the first time of asking, Moscow slightly in the 1ead on the our | side, Pat McCann second, in the middie, Nii Deape- randum third, on the inside. Pat McCann dasted to the front instantly, closcly@followed by Moscow, Nil Desperandum trotting after them very leisurely, MeCann ied one length to the quarter pole, Moscow second, four or five lengths ahoad of Nil Desperandum. Time, B54 seconds, Going around the lower turn Moscow stuck closely to McCann, and he only had ball a length the best of it as he passed the half milo pole, Nil Despcranuum six leng:lis behind, ‘Time, 1:10. Going up tho hiit of tho backstretch Pat McCann shook himself clear of Moscow, and led two Jengths to the three-quarter pole, Nil Desperandum four lengths further off; but’ about that time the driver of the ijatter let go of the horse’s head and he rapidly closed on the others, so that coming up the homestretch he beat Moscuw out, and was only two lengths behind Pat McCann, and it seemed to be the opinion of tho majority of the spectators that Nil Desperandum could have won tho race had his driver allowed him to do so, This 8 mere conjecture, however, and whether he could have ‘won or pot may be determined next week, when the horse starts in tho stallion trot at Philadelphia, The time of the heat was 2:30%.

HISTORICAL = ASSOCIATIONS—WHAT COLONEL K GAS DONE FOR PELMAM. Pelham dates back to Revolutionary times and ts surrounded by historic associations, it was compara tively unknown until three years since, when large of New York and Boston gentlemen, incorporated as the “Polkam Manor and Huguenot Heights Associa- tion,” whoso extensive improvements in the way of landscaping and building have attracted great atten- tion, Early this spring Colonet Delaacey Kane com- mencod rupning his “four-ia-hand”’ coach daiiy to and from New York, since which display of enterprise this | mode of pastime has become exceedingly popular, so much #0 that “The Pelham Coach’? and “Coaching to | Petham’? have become almost household words, Being Ou or in the water is ono of (he chief amuso- ments at Pelham, which takes character mamly from the pleasure foand in going there or in returning. The conch is the most popular, bot many find ther way here in private carriages. The drives abound in beauti- ful scenery and are associated with ideas or facts that Jend a double charm, England bas many such spots as Pelham not far from the great capital, where parties cau readily go for a short excursion and return thoroughly tired, but with lighter spirits, The Thames has dotted along its banks these spots, that bave acquired traditional in- terest by reason of a century of pleasure seekers, Dickens speaks frequently of Gravesend, Ramsgate and Richmond, and there finds material for some of his keenest toucnes of humor. Now that ous own has in @ measure done the same for us, it is improbable it Pelham, with tho aid of Col- onei Kane, may in time become a like resort, BOATING AT BOSTON.

LAST TOE WANTING. a THE Long before the time last nicht announced for the | commencement of Professor Huxley's third and Inst lecture in New York Chickering Hall was crowded with a singularly composite audience, The phalanx of eager thinkers who were noticed at the two previous lectures were there, v8 a matter of course; but the number of young ladios was indeGnitely greater than on cither of the previous occasions, ‘Tho danger ot having for tho noxt ten days to reply nogatively at the breakfast or dmner table to the query as to whether or not they had heard Huxley, may have had something to do with this anwonted inflax of fair and youthful inquirers, One could not, however, help being amused at the contrast betwoen this section of the audience and the intellectual menu which confronted them from the gigantic frame on the platform, It was literally nothing but borse, Horse, from tho recent equus, a8 science tenderly dubs him (who, even while the learned lecturer was descanting on his wondrous beauty and manifold excellences, was doing noc- turnal duty in the Broadway stages for the recent homo), through his illustrious ancestors, the prowohippus, the miokippus and the mesohippus, back to the awful form of him who mysterious moved | over the foce of creation m the twilight of remotest ages, with four fingers cn each forefoot and four toes onecach hind foot, The Professor might have had it at heart to illustrate in the case, both of Jate and early comers, the truth ef the adage, “Serd venientibus ossa,” for nothing but bones starcd atthe andience from the charts on the great frame. Fore feet and hind fect, fore arms and leg, molars, upper and lower, of all the BQUINE FOSSTLDOM, | FOSSIL MARVELS.) | wes which, last night, was to do tho battle of science against Moses, Milton & Co. Even during the lecture ‘any ono who had casually dropped in would bave | imagined that Protessor Huxley was demonstrator m | anatomy in a volloge of veterinary surgeous; and, in- | deed, the lecture itself was so strigtly contined to the | horse, in so far as he elucidated the theory of evolu- tion, that a wag might bave been tempted to o! that’ the Profestor was certaloly tiding a hobby, It must be acknowledged, however, that he rode these antique, ossitied chargers up to the ontworks of | the tacitly designated enemy with much spirit, and with a perfect command of hand and kneo. Tne only thing wanting to completo the victory of equus over fides was one toc, which the Brofessor was confident would ultimately be found | if they could only get at tho geological formations in | which the abseonding little member had secreted itself. Tho audience listened throughout with marked atten tion, and loudly’ applauded Professor Huxley's | remarks touching the eminent “services rendered to science by Professor Marsh, of New Haven. | TUE LKCTURE, Professor Huxley opeued his lecture by briefly de- tailing the arguments brought forward on Weanesday evening and summarizing the conclusions then ar- | rived ut. The point upon which he Jaid the greatest stress, and which was introductory to the main sub. ject matter of Jast night's lecture, was the fact that the evidence adduced im it was not of the highest’ kind; in other words, demonstrative, inasmuch as tho intermediate forms between the bird and the crocodile did not occur tn the order in which they would be required tor ademonstration. Kyidence of inis kind to be periectly demonstrative would re- quire that in some ancient formations reptiles alone | should be found, in recent formations the bird alone, and in intervening geological formations the interme: diate forms between tho crocodile and the bird. The proof of evolution, said the Professor, could never be complete without evidence of this nature. Fortu nately for the cause of science his had, of lato years, been supplied in considerable quantity. ‘And not only in the case of one single epecies, but in that of ali divisions of the animal kingdom. As above | stated, Professor Huxley, from the abundangg of the | | material at bis command, chose the “species us, as being that which supplied in itself the mést complete chain of demonstrative evidence | in favor of the theory of evolution, The term equus was understood by Professer Huxley 10 comprise ail the different subdivisions, such as the zebra, the ass, | &c. Due honor was done to the remarkable beauty and perfect mechinery of the horse, of which the lecturer stated that there was no locomotive so weil adapted to its purposes, none in which there was s0 great an economy of fuel, no creature in which there was 80 periect balance of the parts and so much rhythm and harmony of motion, | The horse 1s provided with the most perfect tormation of bone, musele, feeding and digestive apparatus, Tho | Jast portion of this assertion would meet with the un- | qualified assont of those who have to supply that in- | Veresting quadruped with hay at $25 a ton. Tho learned lecturer then apologized to his audience for the necessity which constrained him to inflitt upon them the numerous anatomical detatis upon which the whole argument of his lecture would be based. He | then produced the skeleton fore leg of a horse and enumerated the various bones of which it was com. re. pointing out at the same time the bones of the aman arm to which they corresponded, down to the hoot, which corresponded to the human nail, At this point the Professor entered into lengthy details, show- ing from the minute axamination of tho leg of the | horse that although a superficial view would induce ‘one to believe the contrary, still even in the recent equus it was possible to trace THE RUDIMENTARY NAIL, what corresponded to the middle finger of tho hand, the wrist, the radius and ulna and the humerus, Far- thor, that a still closer examination showed a forma- ton corresponding to the metacarpal bone, and another answering to the second finger of the human hand, The #ame process of analysis was gone through with regard to the hind leg of the horse, from which logical similarity between it and the buman log, even to the toes, was elicited. Nexi im order wero treated the apparatus jor supplying this periect loco. motive (as the Professor delighted to call the horse) with fuel. He has, or ought to have, forty teeth, mure thirty-six. The namber of can‘ne teeth, incisors | and molars were stated, The dark patch in | the teeth, by which the age of horse is | told, was expiained to arise from a cavity first { | filled with fodder, then with secretions and the tritu. Fated substance of the tooth itsei!, which nally hard- ened and valy disappoared when tho point of the tooth | was reached at which the cavity ceased. Tho descrip- tion of the molar teeth was next in order, and it wag shown bow in their conformation they resembled jamtnation of milistones and preserved their roug | nees by the very fact of their crushing against one another, and Were admirably adaptod for the rapid mastication of vats and hay, as mos owners of horses know. Now, observed tho lectarer, if the theory of evolu- tion be correct, what ought tobe found in the investi- gation of the history of this animal? He ought to | have proceeded by’ evolation trom a simple’ form | through all termediate gradations up to tho type as wo have it to-day, Fer the purposes of bis argument it was necessary for Professor Huxley to enumerate all the distinctive features of the mammal, which are no | doubt perfectly familiar to ali interested im the discns-. on of even elementary questions of this character, not theretore be repeated her s however laid by him upon tho inpiete Abia aud complete fivula, toa complete ulua and radins to FIVE TOPS ASD VIVE FINGERS | im the original type of the horse as being necessary to the compicteness of the proof of the evointion the in the case of the horse, Such peculiarities, t the teeth as would nave 10 be found wero duly com. | mented upon, Now, in tho latest pliocene formate wo find the remains of horses. In Europe, too, in the post-tertiary formation there aro horses iu abundance in the cave deposits whose .seraeture owe are’ abio to get ab with the grea est accuracy and which aro in all respecis hike the horses of tho present day. But in the imiddle and earlier periods of the pitocene formation we find imals which are horses in all other osteological par- tienlars except that they difler from the horses of to- day in the structure of the fore and hind limbs; they have a bone as long as (ho middle m pal bone, aud at the end a small toe, batof litte functional im- | portance. In the miocene formbtions of Central Germany, France and Greece we find the species eynus differing Stull further from the horse of today in the | fore and Lind limbs and in the teeth, They have three compieto toes, the lateral toes being large and long enough to rest upon the ground. Ip the forearm wo find the wlua distinguishable from the radius; in the hind limb we also discover functional toes, Various other modifications, the most remarkable of which were in the teeth, were dilated upon at consia- | orabie length by the lecturer, who said, in conclusion | upon this pomt, that although we cannot bo certain that we have tho oxact line or the order in which these | méutfeations occur, we certainty have three forma, of whic the oldest ‘came nearsr to the mammal type than the others, Having iatd down and om lished these premises, Professor Huxley jnquired what | alternative was open unless wo numitted that the changes observable wero the result of evaluton. Clearly we should have to say that each species was | separately and individually created; for which assump. | Hon thera i not the shadow of a ecientille ground. Other Inks. were, however, necessary to complete | the chain of evidence for evolution in the case of the horse, and these came from a most unexpected quar- ter, {rom the very country whose discoverers supposed had never had any horses, and whose inhabitants looked upon a man on horseback as ‘A KIND OF MIRACULOUS MONSTRR— namely, from Amorica, Oi Jato yoars sho marvellous | 5 tertiary deposits of the west of America had supplied fossils so numerous and in such a pertect state Of Dred ervation that they leit nothing wanting, and the Seid itseit had pcen worked by Professor Marsh, of* a most incomparable fashion, that nothing too mych could be sald of the ken by bim, the extent of the discoveries ne je or their scientitic importance, Here Pro- dew Haven, in 50 fessor Liuxiey took singly the various specimens ot the miobippus and mesobippas discovered by Professor Marsh, showing tho variations the bones and teeth, and the clearly defined fow toes and fingers to be found respectively upon the hind und fore legs of these ancestors of the recent equus, He concluded that undoubtedly we should find the five toes and fingers if we could only got as the stratain which they exist, probably the early Eocene t commentary npon the value of the evidence of evolution then offered toilowed, Mr, Huxley stating tit Wa a8 Sound a8 the theory of the Copernican m, and thut if such Inductive reasoning was not usive, no inductive process of argument whatever was of any account, A delicate sarcasm was flung ab those who explained away the presence of these awkward fossil remains by saying they bad spo- cially been placed where they were to test our faith, A short but pointed tribute to the kindoors’ of the people of the United States to him during his stay in this country, to the energy and onterprise of the press aad to the audiencs whose courteous at- | tention during so much dry but necessary detatt had struck him more than anything else, closed the lec- ture, which, at its « Professor Huxley sails for Europe to- REAL ESTATE.
