Story of Remarkable Fatality.


Yesterday Mrs. Jane Larkins, aged
one hundred and six years, born in
county Mayo, Ireland, was roaming
the streets in search of employment.
She arrived in this country seventeen
months since, having been sent for by
her children, who had preceded her
to this country. These children con-
sisted of four sons, who, after their
arrival here, accumulated sufficient
money to send for their mother and
provide. for her support. But, sad to
relate, between the day of her sailing
and the present time three of these
young men have met with a violent
death, and the fourth, it is feared, has
shared the same fate. One of the bows
was killed in an elevator in this city;
another on a steamboat plying be-
tween Cincinnati and st. Lonis; the
third ina railroad collision, while the
fourth, who left the city some time
ago for the West, has not since been
heard from. The old lady is very
active, and seems to be competent to
earn her living, and her misfortunes
will yet excite the sympathy of some
charitable person so far as to give her
a comfortable home, even il her ener-
gy does not procure it for her.-BuBdiO

ENGLISH aAILRoAD ACCIDENT.
An Excursion Train Wrecked 35 Persons
Killed and 200 Wounded. cs&
From the London Telsgraph.l

From the London Telegraph - nfi@fEf
The train, consisting of twenty-five
carriages, left King's-cross punetually
to time advertised, 800 pm. The
run was rapid and safe until the train
neared Newark. 1t appears that a
goods train, laden in part with wool
en- goods. was proceeding on Its way
to London, when, through the break
ing of an aXle-tree, several wagons
were thrown into what is technically
termed the siX-fOot. Unfortunately,
at the spot there is a curve, and lit
tie beyond the scene of the accident,
southwark, there is a bridge. These
prevented the driver of the ex-
cursion train from seeing the
danger until too late to avoid the col
lision. Though the steam was
turned of, the speed of the train was
such that it dashed into the goods wag-
Ons with frightfnl effects. The engine
was overturned into the ditch at the
down side OF the line, while the ten
der was thrown into the six-fOot. The
goods wagons we're smashed into
fragments, and, from the effects of the
broken axle and subsequent concus-
sion, scattered about the up line, upon
the hedge, and into the fields beyond.
The passenger cars next the engine
were, by the momentum, driven one
over the other, and piled in masses OF
mere firewood high In the air. Every
carriage of the train had the windows
and doors broken-not one of the
twenty-five escaped. At the time
your correspondent left, twelve or
fourteen persons were found dead or
in critical condition, while
from 100 TO 200 of the passengers were
injured. The groans of the wounded
aud dying rang through the air, aud
in the dim light Of morning the pas
sengerS run TO and fro, some bleeding
and bruised, as if distracted by the
awful transactions of the last few
minutes. Scores we're wandering
about, some of whom had been driven
violently against the carriages, others
cut with dying fragments of glass or
splinteTs of broken doors or car sides.
Under the fragments near the engine
several lay dead, while one lady,
whom it was understood was only
slightly hurt, was fixed among
the wreck of q carriage which
had mounted above two others.
The driver was killed, one side of his
head being literally .smashedain. The
fireman lay against the tfrebOX, his
leg being torn off. One woman
pleaded piteously with the surgeons
that they would ah1putate her legs,
which were transtixedIby the broken
timbers. One sight might have
moved the stoutest to tears. A baby,
about six months old, was picked up
from among the wreck, its arms and
face lacerated; its mother was buried
beneath the carriages. Great praise
is due to the officials Of the Great
Northern Railway, who, with the
greatest promptitude, aided by willing
helpers, did all they could to alleviate
the miseries Of the poor unt0rtunates.

Grant and Cuba.

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate yesterday
manuscript documents concerning
the seizure of American vessels and
executions of citizens of the United
States during hostiHties in Cuba.
The State Department furnishes a
letter from Secretary Fish, dated
June 9th, to the Spanish Minister,
calling his attention to the ir-
regular and arbitrary manner in
which persons and property OF
our citizens are taken and held by the
Spanish authorities in Cuba. Secre-
tary Fish recalls to Senior Roberts re-
collection the protests of the Presi-
dent last year against Valmaseda's s
mode of warfare, and against the Cap
tain Generals decree forbidding linn
itation of property on the Island SO
far as regards American citizens, and

AConyiCt Dying Asserting His limo
cenCe.

From the DubRaQe (Iowa) Herald of
June ri
MANY of our readers VIII remember
that in the year of 1864 the Trea5u-
rer's safe of Buchanan county was
blown open and robbed Of a large
amount of money (S26, ,000), and that
two young men-One named Roro-
bacher and the other Knight-were
accused and convicted of the robbery
and sent TO the Penitentiary. After
remaining IN prison for several years
both were pardoned by the Governor,
ROrObacher first and subsequently
knight. There was very much DOUBT
in the minds Of the people ih the vi
cinity as 10 their guilt, and when
ROrobacher was released and returned
10 his former home he was received
with quite an ovation by large num-
ber of the most respectable and intel
Iigent citizens of Buchanan and Black
hawk counties. de has since resided
in Waterloo, in comparative poverty,
having expended his whole property,
from ten thousand TO fifteen thou
sand dollars, ia defending himself and
Knight from the charges on which
they were convicted. The people OF
independence were SJafueu ilttt6
more than a week ago by the arrival
of Knight among them, ghastly, ema.
ciated, dying. They remembered
him a young man full Of life, energy,
hope and spirit, defending himself
proudly and hautily. He returned
skeleton in body, broken in spirit,
hopeless and dying. he came say
ing, 81 am too weak and worn and
weary for reproaches, bat will Buch-
anan county give 10 the dying pauper
a pillow and to the dead convict a
coffin aud a grave?o Very many of
the citizens called to see him and
none looked on the pale face and
heard the dying lips protest his limo
cence without feeling of awe and
shudder at the thought that would
obtrude, that a terrible crime had
been committed against the pititul
wreck before them. Dying pauper
and pardOned convict though he was,
death claimed. him in few days, and
with his latest breath he asserted his
innocence. He lies buried in the cem-
etery at Independence now, and il is
at least happy thought that there is
no fear of any unjust judgement in
Che court TO which he has appealed.

HOHENZOLLERN.
Who He Is, What He is---What His Reia-
iiOnship to European Royalty Is.

The person who now processes his
willingness to pick up the Spanish
crown, if he can get it, is Prince
Charles, of Observation-Disclosures
gen. Prince Charles is now in his
tifty-ninth year. The little princi-
pality OF which he is the titular head
has been, since the revolutionary days
of 1889, an integral part of the
Kingdom of Prussia. Abdicating his
sovereign rights when he lost the
power to maintain them, he has been
for twenty yeals dependent upon the
royal house of Prussia, the ruler of a
PrussiaR province, and high officer
in the Prussian army. On the fathers
side he claims relationship with the
reigning dynasty of'PTussia, and there
is good reason consequently for the
popular outcry in Spain which attrib-
utes his nomination 70 an intrigue of
the Jete aOir OF continental political
complications, Count Bismarck, Yet
in the female line he is allied to an
other and a rival power upon which
Spain might be supposed to look with
quite as much dread as upon the
astute Minister of King William.
His mother was the Princess Marie
AntOniette Mnrat; his sister the wife
Of the Marquis PeOpoli, grandson Of
the great Murat, Napoleon's brilliant
marshal, who4 =. from the position
OF garc0a at a fsaFfs eating-house to be
King of the Two Sicilies, married
Caroline BOnaparte, the sister of the
first emperor, and was shot at last by
the Austrians as a traitor, The Murats
have never been a faithful family. The
dashing marshal divided his time
between the most brilliant exploits
in the field and the most shameful
intrigues in the Cabinet; yet Napo-
leon l., with better reason for shoot
ing him than the Austrians ever had,
hOnored him with especial favor and
friendship, and Napoleon III. has
treated his descendants with even
more consideration than their blood
snd relationship gave them any rea-
son 10 expect. Lucien, the son of the
marshal, long an exile in the United
States where his wife, sp Eng
hshWOman, supported him by
teaching sebool), is now Sen
atOr of France and a Prince of the
Imperial family. A son of Lucien,
Prince Joachim Napoleon, is married
to the daughter Of Marshal Berth
ier, and that daughter was niece
both of Bernadotte, King of Sweden,
and Of Joseph Bonaparte, King Of
Spain. But this is not all. The
Princess Josephine, wife of the Prince
Of Observation-Disclosures is a
daughter of Stephanie Beauharnais,
the adopted daughter Of Napoleon /.

Since this city has outgrown fire
in which men have other
daily occupations than those connected
with fires, we can look down with
complacency upon cities that have not
yet attained to this system. On the
18th ult. there was a great fire at San
Antonio, Texas. "A drayman, MEM
ber of one Of the fire companies, was
anxious not to lose job which he
had undertaken, and drove his loaded
cart into the street where the fire was
raging, halted amid a binding shower
of sparks, and, stepping up to the
foreman of the engine to which he Is
attached, asked to be excused from
service and relieved from fine. The
foreman thought the fine, one dollar,
would have to be paid; the drayman
demonstrated. "What are you cart
ing9p asked the foreman. "Gunpow-
der" was the reply. The foreman
glanced at the load of kegs, turned
pale, and with a strenuous voice OF
command, said, "No fine; only go!'
The dollar saved was fully earned.
