called the hands to assist in removing the ma
chinery and stock in the northern part of the
main building, before the fire reached it, and
men and women responded heartily, and all the
finished Watches the majority of the tools,
much of the small machinery, some fixtures
cases, desks, and the like, and the sash in the
northeast wing, were saved.
The company was formerly known as the Mo-
zart Company, with office in New York and
works in Providence. The business was removed
to this city nearly three years ago. and took the
American Machine Works. They were just re-
covering from n season of unfortunate misman-
agement, had got in some of the most perfect
and costly machinery made, and trusted to enter
on prosperous manufacture. The employees
number ninety-nine, about half men and half
women, and it bears heavily upon them to be
thus robbed of employment. OF course it is
uncertain whether the company will rebuild.
Their total loss will be little less than 100000,
while their insurance is but $S5, 900.

At the House OF Refuge the Grand Jury were
much pleased with the management Of affairs. The
inmates OF both sexes presented healthy and con-

use TO them in after life.
at the Eastern Pententiary everything was in the
very best order, and the Grand Jury think this in
stituton will compare favorahly with any other one

A SHOCKING SUICIDE.
A Man Jumps from Ferry-bOat In The Middle
OF the River.


OF the River.
Yesterday evening, at the o'clock trip of the
Newport ferry-boat Newport Belle, says the
Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday, man, appa-
rently mechanic, and twenty-five years of age,
wearing slouch hat, check shirt, and dark
pantaloons stepped on board and offered his
fare to Joseph Dutson, one of the deck bands on
the boat. He was referred to the captain, to
whom he paid his fare. Both Dutson and the
pale and agitated. His manners did not excite
their apprehension of any tragic purpose, and so
only called their casual attention.
When the ferry-boat was about the middle of
the river Dutson was standing at the starboard
bow amid crowd of persons, when, feeling a
kick, he looked around and saw q man strike
the water right by him. He saw that the wheel
passed without striking him. 1t was the pale
troubled man, with check shirt, who had at
tracted Dutsons attention in paying his fare.
On the crowded boat and on both shores hun
dreds of people, intensely excited, saw him
floating and sinking for what, in the awful
Knight, of Newport, saw him. plunge
into The river. He Immediately took
a skiff, and, with two friends, pulled
into the river. The man himself did not shout
or cry for help. Parties on board directed Mr..
Knight to the right place. He pulled hard, and
arrived. but the man had sunk never to rise.
His hat was secured, and can be seen at the
Newport ferry landing. 1t is thought it will be
sufficient to identify him by. Nothing Is known
of the mans name or the motives to this eX-
treme rashness. All observers regard 1t asasui-
eide. One passenger saw him deliberately over
the rail and plunge into the water. AS he
jumped in about the middle of the river, it is
not probable that his body will be recovered

THE RAIL.
The Accident on the Brunswick RniIrOnd-
Additional Particulars.

From the Savannah Republican, april 20.
Wepublished yesterday brief account Of the
accident to an excursion train on the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad. We gather the fol
lowing additional facts of this heart-rending
affair.
The train, with an excursion party from
Quitman and Valdosta numbering about one
hundred and fifty persons, male and female, left
Brunswick at 40 inmates past o'clock, and
while running over the trestle work at about
sixteen miles from the city, the train, composed
of three coaches and three box cars, was thrown
from the track into the low swamp. The trestle
was only five feet high. The cars were so COM
pletely wrecked that it was with great difficulty
The passengers who were crushed with the tim
bers were extricated. The track was ripped up
for about twenty yards in the rear of the train.
There being no physician on the train, the
Jesup, where they received every attention
from The railroad men and the inhabitants of
the town. 4

Destruction of the NewY orlS Watch COmpnny's
WORKSHOPS %2OOsOOO.
Yesterday afternoon, says the Springfield Re-
publican of the 9th, the factory of the New
York Watch Company, on Orleans street, was
completely destroyed by fire. The buildings
occupied the entire block between Tyler street
and Pendeton avenue, 800 feet in length, and
the lot was nearly square. The old part, the
old "American Machine Works, held the hea-
West machinery, and was about rs feet by 80,
two stories in height, with one-story wing,
containing the furnace and boiler.
The extension, built by the company when
they bought the property, was occupied by their
finest and most delicate machinery, some of it
almost irTeplaceable. Superintendent Percy

UNEARTHING THE VAMPIRES.
Two Hundred Custom House Officials in |
League with SmuggIers-The Government
Investigating the Frauds.


The rottenness of the New York Custom House
and the corrupt administration of "the Good
Old Man" were exhibited in private investiga-
ton yesterday, before Mr.. Grinnell. short
time ago information was received by the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury that the seat of customs at
this port was a den of thieves, and that hun
dreds of the officials were amassing fortunes by
aiding smugglers to defraud the Government.
The statements which were prepared after actual
observation, conclusively showed that the Off
GERS of the Collector closed their eyes as fer
vently as if they were engaged in prayer when
the valuable goods of the merchants who had
subsidized them had passed under their notice.
They permitted cases of costly articles to be de-
livered to merchants in this city without eXa-
minatioI. because they were in the pay of the
owners, and they passed in this way hundreds
of cargoes of goods on which no duties had
been paid.
Thirteen of the number were examined, and
confessed that they had received
BRIBEs FROM VARIOUS STEAMSHIP COMPANIES
to pass portions of their cargoes without actual
examination, and to obtain permission for them
to bring their vessels to various docks where the
smuggled goods could be removed TO stores on
Broadway, and other thoroughfares. They tes-
titled on oath that they were in the habit of re-
ceiVing various sums OF money from shipping
merchants to enable them to defraud the Gov
ernment, and that they had shown their graft
tude practically by emitting to examine the
merchandise of their wealthy friends. The
Good Old Man" did not express any astonish-
ment at the revelations; he was not surprised at
the statements made by the witnesses, and he
adjourned the hearing till the following
morning.
The investigation was resumed yesterday
Five Custom House Inspectors were called and
they testified that they had received money from
q number of European and other steamship
companies to give the officers of the vessels of
those companies special and exclusive facilities
to run their cargoes through the Custom House.
They furnished the names of their patrons with
considerable reluctance to the Surveyor 1t is
said that two hundred Custom House officers
have received bribes from the smugglers ~

true interests of the city at heart to oppose this
said, was monstrous fraud in all its provisions,
and could not receive the hearty support of
honest and respectable men If they gave 1t their
careful attention. He believed that Governor
Hoffman would promptly veto the bill on be-
coming fully aware of its dangerous nature.
Ex-Judge Hilton was very emphatic in his de-
nunciations of what he called "a villainous and
rascally scheme to destroy Broadway" 1t was
estimated that those present represented pro-
perty worth 800 ZOO, 900.
