seizure of the Steamer Akron.

In the Toronto Globe Of a recent date
We kind an account of the seizure by
the Care3a customs authorities three
different vessels for alleged violation of
the coasting laws of the government.
Among shem was the steamer Akron,
belonging to the Northern Trsnsporta-
ton Gompaoy of Ohio, which has its
headquarters in this city, We should
perhaps, remark that that seizure of the
Akron took place nearly a year ago.
The Globe, in its report, says:
The third case reported is that of the
Akron, steamer belonging to the
Northern Transportation Company of
Ohio. Mr.. Townley, the Surveyor at
Prescott, reported that the steamers Of
the N. 7. Company, were in the habit
of violating the bond they had given
not to land or to take on board pas
sengers, baggage or freight at certain
wharYes where they we're permitted to
take fuel, and that they constantly
defrauded the government by understa-
ting the amount of freight for which
toll had TO be paid OF the Welland
Canal. Under these circumstances he
asked for instructions as to whether he
should seize the aFst steamer that
touched at Prescott withthe yiewof hold
ing her until the company should pay
the pena!!!.g attached to the violation
of their bond. In answer to this be re-
ceiyed instructions to seize the steamer
on the ground of both the alleged
offences, and the Akron was accord
ingly seized at Port Colborne. Salts
factory evidence was adduced TO prove
that the steamer Akrol had violated
the company's pledge not to take up Or
set down passengers at the intermediate
whiarves, and it was shoYn that gross
Irregularities, if not absolute fraud, had
been committed by the compsny's Off
GERS. 1t was commended on the other
part that the instances mentioned in
which passengers had been embarked
and disembarked were o. a verv excep-
tional nature and that the offences were
were committed by the captain on his
own responsibility. The Company
urged, too. that when freight had been
carried upon which toll had not been
paid, such omissions arose from neglect |

JEPTHA C. BUELL., Cashier of the Sec
ond National Bank, of Cleveland, COM
mittod suicide on Monday morning last
He was found dead in his bed, shot
through the heart with the pistol still
in bis hand with which the deed was
committed. Nothing in bis conduct
had lead his friends to suspect him of
any intention to commit suicide. But
from letters that he left to his family,
and to different business parties, it ap-
pears that he had meditated the act for
at least twenty-four hours. Financial
embarrassment was the cause Of the
dreadful deed. He had dealt in stocks
and gold largely, aud met with losses
beyond his ability to pay. The thought
that these facts would soon be made
known, and the consequent disgrace that
would follow, was so revolving to his
pride that he took refuge in suicides
death. Mr.. Buell. was man of exten-
sive acquaintance, and was highly es-
eemed. He was at one time teller Of
the the Bank Of Toledo. He had insu-
rance upon his life to the extent of forty
or fifty thousand dollars, which will 60
to his family, the courts having settled
the point that suicide did not release
insurers from liability.

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
ACCIDENT.
How Mr.. John Tustin Lost his Life
Painful Situation of his Widow.


The San Francisco Times gives be
following particulars of the tfelesc9p-
ing" of the cars on the occasion of the
recent accidents on the Pacific Railroad
and the horrible death of Mr.. John
Tustin:
The detached engine was driven
back against the rear Pullman car,
breaking its platforms and driving it
up against Pullman No. 2. 1t was in
this car that the damage was done.
the two Pullmans did not telescope,
but the second Pullman and the rear.
most passenger car did. Both were
rendered an almost complete wreck.
The luxurious stateroom in the end Of
the superb palace car was completely
mashed; and here the unfortunate Mr..
John Tustin lost his life. A party Of
seven was standing on the platforms,
when one of them CHANGED to lean out
and look to the rear. when he saw the
engine of the immigrant train Just,
coming round the curve. He cried
"Look, look? ?" and 'Jumpr' at the
same moment Jumping himself and roll
ing down the embankment Five OF
the others all leaped down on both
sides of the train, but Mr.. TustiD, an
elderly man, was less active in getting
He had swung about one-half of his
body off beyond the line of the ears,
holding on the rail with his left hand,
and was already in the act of letting go
when the two cars came together,
catching Just one-half of his body be-
tween them, and of course crushing it
into mere mangled mass of flesh and
fractured bone. Here his body re-
mained for three hours before it could
be extricated, while his unhappy wi
dow (who was slightly wounded) was
compelled to remain in the train, in
knowledge of the horrible event. Oh
course Mr.. Tustin's death was instanta-
neous. We may meption, as instauc,
ing how shockiugly he was mangled,
that when his body was released bis
heart was found to have been forced
completely out of his body. Mr.. 7.
was a prominent citizen of Petaluma
an old resident, and well known
through all that section Of country.

The Cleveland Herald talks thus sen
sibly upon the duty of supporting home
papers =: "Recollect, if home influence
do it every dollar sent to Eastern pa
pers is at the expense of lcesl papers.
A county acquires prominence through
its paper more than any other way, and
to every one who has county interests
at stake his home paper Is necessity.
Never will such a man take a paper
printed away from home, until he is
able to take q second paper. His first
paper will be his home sheet. and he
will so identify his own intarests with
