THE LATEST RAILROAD DISASTER.



The Troy papers have full accounts OF the
railroad disaster near that city on Thursday
night, from which 1t seems that several persons
were injured: 80,
Hillard, of York, Pa, one of the Injured pas
sengers:-
"I was on the Wagner palace car at the time OF
the accident, and was sitting Ia chair NO. Z had
two friends George W. Balou, OF Westheldi Mass,
and Dr. Ness, Of York, Pa, in the palace car.
The first thing / remember OF the accident was
learning that the rear car was OIL the track, and
the next thing / felt a heavy jar. l understood
that the rear car fell against projection OF
rocks which saved 1t from falling over. was In
the coach next to the baggage car, the second
car from the Locomotives; there were ten persons
in the car with me; soon after heard the jar

NEW ORLEANS POLICEMEN.
A Mans Throat Gut from Ear to Ear by Po-
ltCemau.

A Mans Thront Uut from Ear to Ear by Po-
ltcemau.
The New Orleans Times of the 14th instant
says:-
We have several times been called on to
notice occurrences where citizens have been
numerically clubbed by police officers, and this
thing has become quite common affair. But
last night an attack was made on a man. as is
alleged, by police officer, which is at once ter
rible and original.
Officer McClanahan, while walking his beat on
Girod street last night, about half-past o'clock,
found man named Peter. Donnelly with his
throat cut, bleeding very freely. He immedi-
ately brought the wounded man to the Lafayette
Street Station, when he stated that Officer j.
Casey, First precinct, without cause, drew a
knife and cut his throat almost from ear to ear.
The wounded man was brought to the Charity
Hospital, where the physicians in attendance
considered his wound very dangerous, but not
necessarily fatal. Officer Casey escaped.
The same officer is now under charge of
assault and battery and false imprisonment be-
fore the First District Court. The statement of
Donnelly that the assault was made without any
provocation given, gained much belief at the
station, from the fact that if there was any rea-
son given for the attack Officer Casey would
have Immediately surrendered himself at the
station.

THE NEPTUNE CRUELTIEs.
The FrOstsbttfen SaiiOrs-Exa mination Before
the United alates court.


the United states Court.
The N. Y. EUening Post of Saturday says:-
The case in which Captain Peabody and Mayo
and Shields, the first and second mates OF the
Neptune, are charged with cruelty treating some
of the crew, came up for examination before
Commissioner Shields to-day.
Edward Reese, one of the colored sailors, tes
titled that cruelties were practised during the
first twenty days of the voyage. He then had
trouble with the captain and second mate. He
told the second mate he could not haul the top
sail halyards because his hands were sore, and
the second mate struck and cnrsed him. The
second mate struck him several times on the
face and hands, knocked him down and kicked
him. Shortly afterwards the second mate took
him into his room and punished him. He
him, and showed the captain his hand, which
the captain poulticed, and then struck him
twice, knocking him down. After this his hand
became very bad, and the little finger dropped
off, and the captain poulticed it again, and then
called him Frenchman derisively, and struck
and kicked him. Shortly after this the second
mate came down to his bunk and told him to
turn out and go to the wheel; he told the second
mate he couldn't work and the second mate
struck him in the face with his fist several
times the second mate was in the habit of
striking him whenever he met him on the
deck one time, when he so met him, he
called him n Frenchman, a1d said he had
a revolver in his room with which he
thought he would shoot him, as he didn't like
Frenchmen; one day the second mate sent him
OH the poop-deck, striking him twice, and say
ing that his hands were not frozen enough, aud
he would send him up to get his head frozen.
The second mate came to the kitchen one day
and struck him on his worst frozen hand, in
juriDg it so as to cause him such agony that he
could not sleep at nights and causing it to bleed
freely. He had seen William Oliver, another
sailor, struck by the second mate. The second
mate was more cruel than the other officers.

FROM IHE DOMINION.
The Ces.,on of British North America.

TORONTO, Feb 2O.--The Leader, commenting on MIR.
Howards resolution offered In the United States
Senate, recommending the High Commission to pro-
vide for the cesson OF Brf sh North America says-
The proposition is conceived in an offensive spirit
and Is, Of course, quite inadmissible.
We can assure our American neighbors, If they
desire closer tlationship with the Dominion than at
present existing they are taking the very best
means in their power OF preventing its accomplish
ment, because insolent propositions OF this kind
only provoke bitter spirit OF hostility in this
try toward the United States.
The Gtote, speaking Of the statement OF Wash
ington correspondent OF the New York Post, that
President Grant approves the proposition, rdicules
It, and says the Americans have apparently an inn
mense appetite for such imaginative reports, else
such Keen sense OF the absurd that they merely
laugh at the huge inventions Of some newspapers.

of the two other gentlemen who entered the cars
with me, but am under the impression that one OF
them was guffocated."
