We copy as follows from the Texas
.Ji,aplel,tite of the ID: A most distress
ing and deplorable accident occurred
in this vicinity yesterday afternoon,
across the bayou. Thomas Stansberry,
Richard Taylor, and a little son Of Mr..
johnson, the builder, neither of them
over fourteen years of age, were out
duck hunting. A flock Of ducks flew
near, and thelittle fellows cooked their
pieces. Richard Taylor snatehed at
the muzzle of young Stansberry's gun,
when il went of, discharging its con-
tents into the left breast Of the former,
penetrating his lungs, and killing him
instantly. The sympathies of the en-
tire community are-with the RELATIVE
OF both the little boys in this most sad
and melancholy affair.

How THE CABLE Rgsrs.-The cable. as
low iald, starts In very shallow water from
amor bay, but In four or five miles it deep
ems from seventeen to twenty fathoms IA f..
anom Is six feetl and then gradually shelves
from thirty to sixty-eight and ninety IA
thoms. at this level, but on the whole
gradually deepening, It continues till in a
line with the westernmost part of the Irish
coast, where, taking northern course, it
passes down a gentle slope of sand that
continues descending till the depth increases
from 200 to 800 and 800 fathorrls, and then in
a short distance to 100 fathoms. Over all
the rest of the course to mid-ocean the bot
tom is mud, shells, and sand, and with a
uniform depth Of about 1900 and 1900 IA
thoms. At these great depths there is an
absolute cessati ion Of all motion. Over such
bottom the line is taken iii an arc Of
large circle, the most southerly point of the
cable being in forty-two degrees north lati-
tude, and the most northerly forty-eight
degrees. Along the southern end Of the
Newfoundland bank it is sunk in about $50
to 200 fathomS, the water on the bank itself
varying from fifty to ninety fathoms. Thus
it is completely sheltered from ice, which,
If the iccbergs pass the bank at all. must
clear the cable, which lies under its lee, by
some hundred fathoms or more. From this
point it is taken up due north in the cham
mel between the Green bank and the St.
Pierre bank in an almost unvaryiIg depth
of 800 fathoms. From this point out the
course is over very regular shoal water, so
to speak-being at no part less than one
hundred fathoms, and generally over one
hundred and fitty-to its termination.

A SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT
Yesterday morning man named George
Berry met with n fearful accident, when
caused his death i'll a few hours. He, with
a companion named Louis Armstrong, was
on his way from Newport, ky.. to New
ark. y. j., where they reside. they were
out Of money, and were trying TO steal
ride over the Panhandle railroad. They
were put OIL from two trains between Gin
cinnati and Cadez Junction, but still perse-
ycred. At the latter place it seems they
climbed to the top of one of the cars OF the
southern express train. Nothing was seen
of them until the train was approaching
Bulper's station, at O'clock this morning.
4 freight train had switched Off there to
await the passing Of the express, and, as the
LATTER went by, the men on the freight train
saw Armstrong holding Berry on the car.
Berry was living with his body half over
the edge of the roof, and his companion was
using every eXertion to keep him from fall
Ing off. The engineer Of the express was
siSnalled, and stopped the tram, ana the
two men were taken down: Berry was IN
and presented ghastly spectacle;
His skull was crushed, ms lace niaSheu, any w
one of his eyes knocked completely out OF
its socket. The only explanation that Arm
strong could give of the matter was that lie
was living asleep on the roof, ana was
awakened by Berry falling over him. He
slIpposes that the hitter was standing up,
and struck his head against bridge or Q
tunnel. The injured man was placed Wild
his companion in the express car, ana
to the Homeopathic Hospital, on
Second avenue, where everything posi-
BILE was done in the way of medical atten-
ton. He died, however, at 2 O'Clock yes
tcrday afternoon. The coroner held an IN
quest. Piusbury (Pa) Post, Juty15.

Horrible Railroad Accident.

New YORK, July 1G.-rhe train on the
Erie railroad, hence at 80 yesterday after
noon. collded with freight train. Six
cars were burned. Nine persons lost their
lives, six of them being burned to death.
No names of southerners are reported as
yet in the casualties.
DETAILS OF THE MURDER OF THE PASSENGERS.
One of the passengers says:
Left New York at G:30 last evening and
took berth i'll the slceping-car next the
rear; there were four sleeping and FIVE
other cars in the train; ut 40 was
awakened by a jerking motion; found
speed was Stacking; did not feel apprchen-
sivc of going of the track inquired what
was the matter, and was told the engine
had run into a freight train; got up and
went out; found flames bursting out Of
Mast Uape station-house, and the baggage
cars next to the locomotive We're also on
fire found the freight train, which should
have been waiting on Il side track,
OH the left of the road this side OF
the arrival of the express the engine OF
the former had not yet reached the main
track when it was struck by the locomotive
of the express train, which was running
forty miles an hour; the engine of the
freight train was standing on the frog, and
was so firmly fixed thai il vas tot mis-
placed: the engine of the express train
struck the station-houSc, to which it set
fire, and then turned round and went OF
the track on the left, headed east the
tender went to The right, headed west; the
express Car went down the hill toward the
river; the first passenger car "telescoped"
into the baggage car and the. whole tram
was burnt except three rear sleeplng-cars.
The freight engine stood locked ia the
passenger engine. After vain effort to put
out the fire with water carried from the
river, the passengers moved the freight cars
east. Two cars were moved at time.
Many of them were loaded with oil. At
half-past ! o'clock this morning there was
no engine ut the scene Of the accident. Some
were suffering terribly from their injuries
some were past AL pain. At O'Clock this
morning nine bodies could be counted
Some distressing scenes OF suffering oe-
Cured, and there were some remarkable
escapes. The engineer OF the express train
stood bravely at his post, and turned over
several times with his engine, but fortunate.
" escaped serious injury. Rev. Mr.. Hal.
leck told his hrother-in-law he was not hurt
at all, but was wedged in. His fellow-pas-
sengers used every effort to save him, but he
died slow, agonizing death, i'll the presence
of sympathizing friends, who were unable
to help him.
A Young German said his tather was
burned, and when the ruins OF the smoking
car were removed lie recognized the remain:
of his father by his watch.
The disaster is attributed to the enginee!
of the freight train, who started out before
the express train passed him. 1t Is said he
has disappeared. The management OF the
road is severely criticised by al who saw the
accident. 1t is said there is no discipline
among the subordinates.

Examination OF a CoTored Postmaster
for Passing Counterfeit Money.

MACON, Ga, July 1e.-The examination
Of Turner, the col9red postmaster, on the
charge of attempting to pass counterfeit
money began to-day before United States
Commissioner w. C. Morrill,. The Govern
ment concluded its testimony to-day. 1t
proved that Turner, in the early part Of this
year, attempted to pass to bank in this
city 800 note which was rejected as coun-
terfeit, and that he confessed to J. Clarke
Swayz, editor of the american Union, on
the 4th of July, that he had done so, and
that he had, in fear of being killed for the
notes found on his person, given 81, 800 in
counterfeit notes to Marian Harris, to be
returned to him when they got home:
The Government proved that $500 in
counterfeit notes on the First National
Bank of Jersey City was found on the per-
SON of the woman Marian Davis, in Atlanta,
which was introduced as evidence, as also
was a letter from Turner to the woman,
found at the same time.
The investigation was adjourned until to-
morrow
