Color KD Tm posters. sudden change in thy weather has caused some chrouic mendicants to bring their genius into play in order to invent new pretexts hy which to extort money from well-disposed people.

The old tricks of kuocking at doors at night and asking lor matches for the purpose of enabling them to "find" money said to have been lost while on their way to drug stores for mediciuc has been worn thread-hare, as has also that of soliciting aid for sick children, and the trick now, is to apply at houses for contributions to defray the funeral expenses ofsoaie colored individual known to have a good report among white acquaintances hence a negro man was going around the city yesterday with a crest-fallen countenance begging money with which to bury one Carlos an antiquated colored wood sawyer, (slightly lame,) who wa9 alive and well this morning and as loquacious as ever. Railroad Thursday at 5:50 p. the engine and four cars of a freight train ou the Virginia Midland railToad ran otr the track at Franklin Junction. The Danville Jicgister says: "The accident 'we learn was theresultofcarelessuessonthe part of Hamner, one of the brakemen. He was seut ahead to llag against auother train and when he was called in he left the switch setting wrong.

The engineer did not discover that the switch was set wrone until he was very near it. He at once blew for breaks and reversed his engine, but it was too late. The engine and four cars ran olf the engine turning over on jts right side down an embankment feet. high. The cars stand upright but are ofTtHe track.

No one was injured and the cars sustained but little damage. The engine will begot on the track by to morrow (Saturday) noon. County Court record in the Drummond case has been completed by the Clerk of the County Court and an application will be made to Judge James Keith in a few days for a writ of error.

Eichberg i Co. have removed back to their old stand of business, which has been handsomely fitted up and tastefully arrauged. A full advertisement will appear in Monday's Gazette. Horrible terrible acci- dent occured at the Cameron Mills crossing of ihe Alexa. and Fiedericksburg Ry.

about noon to day, by whioh Mr. R. F. Ovvner of Cameron Mills near this city.aud a well-known and prominent citizen, was iustantly killed. Mr.

Roberta was returning from a meeting of the stockholders of the Fairfax Mutual Insurance Compauy held iu this city this morning, and wasseated in his carrage drawn by two spirited Lp ou arriving at the crossing, about one hundred and fifty yards from his residence, the unfortunate gentleman, as has been hn wont ever since the first railroad running through his place was thirtv years directly cn.acios-; the tiack, when almost simultaneously the carriage was struck by an engine attached to a pay car on the A. F. R. and completely demolished. Mr.

Roberts was instantly killed, as was one of the horses, while the other was so badly injured that it had to be knocked in the head at once. Mr. J. W. Roberts, sou of the deceased, hearing of the accident was lirst to hasten to the scene, nnd with the aid of others soon summoned to the spot conveyed the dead body of his father to his home, where, upon examination, it was found that apart from internal injuries, his buck had been broken and head badly cut.

Mr. Roberts had been slightly deaf for a number of years, and added to this defect in edness produced unwarinesson his part; or the failure of the train bands to observe the rules of the company in reference to ap- proaches to crossings caused the accident, will have to be determined hereafter. rl he deceased was over seventy years of age, having been born April 9, 1814, though hi3 appearance did not indicate such a ripe old age. Mr. Roberts was a prominent member of the Society of Friends, a man ol strict integrity and uprightness of character, and none stood higher in the esteem of his fellow citizens.

He had held many positions of trust in this city and Fairfax county, and always performed his du- ties with ability and fidelity. He leaves a ife and several cliildreu, nearly all married, and a large circle of relatives and acquaintances, by whom his death will be deeply regretted. Last night Mr. R. attended very interesting meeting at the old Friends' meeting house, where, by a singular coincidence, a discourse on the uncertainty of life was delivered by Elizabeth Thistlewaite.

The has not been visited by a circus for over two years, but on Tuesday next "John Robinson's ten big brand new gigantic shows combined" will arrive here and give two performances, when the citizens may expect a treat. Wheu this circus visited Milwaukee the Sentinel of that place said "This combination has got more lady equestriennes, more trained wild animals, more male bareback and hurdle riders, more human curiosities, more giants, more dwarfs, more horses, more cars, more cages, more ponies, more performeis, more people, more circuses, more canvass, more arenas, more sensations more marvels, more new features, more at tractions, more novelties, more curiosities, more new wonders, costs more money, spends more money, receives more money, gives more and better satisfaction than any other show the sun shines on. It is the biggest and best of all the big shows that ever came to the Cream City." The Market this morning was well supplied with fruits and vegetables, though an advance was noted in the prices of some varieties of the former. The different products for pickiing have made their appearance, which together with a plentiful supply of chinquapins and cider gave the market a fall aspect. The supply of fresh meats was good, and the fish benches were better represented than prices of the latter are very high.

There was a large attendance of buyers. The A. L. at their regular meeting last night, determined not to attend the Leesburg fair next Tuesday, the members having lost eight days since the lirst of August from their respective places of iu attending to camp duty. The company expects to attend the State fair, which begins at Richmond October 22d, aud will compete for the prize to be awarded to the best drilled compauy in the State.

Frank Burkman Burkman, who murdered Captain Melson anil the mate of the schooner Fanny Southard iu the I'otomac river two years ago, and who has been three times sentenced to death for it, has been granted another trial by Judge Jeffries. The case excites much comment iu Essex county and Kiug George. Police night was clear and cool, with one prisoner and ono lodger at the station house. The only case before the Mayor this morning was that of Daniel Conner, arrested by Officer Lattin, charged with disorderly conduct. He was fined So, ami in default of payment was sent to the chain gang for 30 days.
