The e agineer, two firemen and a colored man were serlouely in? jured, and all of the passengers in the coaches thrown off were tossed about like dice in a box, und more or less bruised. The three mules were all demolished, and three race horses lu the box car, strange to say. escaped uninjured. The accident caused but little de? tention, and the track was cleared and re paj^si ia a few hour?. CU KT s TU .LS EVE. J lie Crowds in the Streets-Shoppers and Shopkeepers-.Market Saturday Night-The Hideous Horn-Blowing Everybody Merry. No calendar wa? needed to teil folks here? abouts that Christmas is upon us. For days the streets have been throneed, and the store? keepers found it hard work to serve the im? mense mn of customers. Crowds of country? men were In town buying their Christmas goods and balancing their accounts. In every department of trade business ha9 received an invigorating impulse, and the weary em? ployers and employees a'ike hall with un? feigned delight the holidays of yesterday and to-day. The banks and public offices will be closed to-day. and there will be service held in most of the churches, many of which have been decorated with evergreens. The cars on the City Railway will not run, and the post office will be open for t he delivery of the mails I only from S.30 to 10 A. M. The markets, which were opened on Sitar day night for the last time until to-morrow morning, were crowded, and a dense throng kept pouring thrcugh. Tue noise of the idler*, the bargaiuing aDd trafficking, .>nil the loud cries outside, made the markets a perfect Bed? lam, lo heighten the din, the peripatetic blowers of those stanniferous abominations, known a3 tin horns, were thickly interspersed among the crowd, and min I gled their discordant floorings with I the ordinary noises of the place. These horns have got to be one ot' the established lEStttutions ol the Christmas celebration among the boys on the street, and are noisy and unbearable enough to supersede all others. For weeks pa?t they were being pre? pared lor the market, aud, when the crisis came, they were to be bought for three, five, ten and nfteen cents apiece everywhere on King street. Wednesday night of last week, a forlorn toot might have been heard echoing dismally through the silent air. Thurs? day night it lound company, and Clubs and Stars began to take notice. Fri? day night the scattering case9 in? creased In number, and prepared people for the epidemic of Saturday, when the in? famous noise of the horns never ceased, and culminated at night in one of the most dia? bolical serenades ever heard in the city. King street, from Market to Calhoun, was the favorite ground of the players, who took a malicious delight in following where the crowd was thickest. For hom s on this street ihe sidewalks were jammed, and the pedes train3 slowly moved onward in two lines, arter the Broadway style. The point of ad? vantage was seen by the tooters, and an or? ganized band of thirty, which gradually swell? ed to near a hundred, pushed through the throng, blowing meanwhile upon their horns as if their lives depended upon the din they made. This band was a'so guilty of another freak, not as noisy, but more damag? ing than the born-blowing. While passing the house of a citizen in Chapel street, they became alt rac: el by the appearance of the palings of his fence, which were neatly paint? ed. The leader, in want oi a balan, pulled out one of the paillcgs, and the crowd, struck by the effect ol the staff upon the appearance of their leader, went for the fence and Boon stripped lt. During thj/hub-bub and confusion, crackers and rockets were lrom time to lime seton", which kept the dutiful Clubs and Stars, lo whom the Mayor's proclamation had been read, in a painful state of excitement. The offences were, however, but few, and near eleven o'clock the rain came down in torrents and gradually cleared the streets of crowds and noises. Yesterday symptoms of tooting could be heard, which promise another huge dis? cord today. TWO ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE. A Sorrowful Knight or the Shears Whiskey the Cause. About eight o'clock on Sa'urday evening a misanthropic it 'ight of the shears named Reinke, disgusted with the varieties ot life, went dawn to Chlsolm's Mill and coolly Jumped from the wharf imo the river. The action was observed by two young men near, and knowing that lt was rather too cool lor bathing, one of them jumped In and pulled the miserable man from the water. Wnen inter rogjted by his preserver as to the cause of this attempt upon bis life the dripping man re? plied that lt was nothing but whiskey, and that he had failed this lime but would do better at the next attempt. Bis cool manner convinced the young men that he was jesting and they all left the wharf. An hour or so afterward, the young men entered a saloon on Market street, and bad been there but a few minutes when the alarm was given that a man was trying to hang himself In an adjoining room. The same j o un g man who had jumped into the water rushed up to the room indicated, and found our indefatigable knight of the s it ears with his tongue pro? truding from his mouth, and giving every in? dication of a speedy death by choking. The tailor had selected his opportunity, and put a noose around bis neck. Through the rope he then put a large slick, and, by twis ing him? self around, was-tightening the noD?o in a most scientific manner. The ready knile of the young man sjen severed the rope, and the knight of the shears was reluctantly intro? duced lo his preserver for the second time. He wa?, however, satisfied with ihe two* at? tempts in one doy, and has not since tried to bereave his family. II ..ni-l Arrivals- December ? .' r. nd 34. CHARLESTON DOTEL.
