Of any body. Gov. Palmer, in bis letter, re-
views the evidence before the coroner Jury,
wherein it was shown that Mayor Mason re-

FATAL ACCIDENT.-Saturday afternoon the
6 80 train on the Portland and Ogdensburg
railroad from North Conway, passed Dole's
Woods with the customary lights on the rear
of the tender indicating that another train was
following. A gang of FIVE track-m were at
that point with hand car, and when the train
passed a dispute arose as to whether it was
safe to put their car on the track, one of them,
Joseph Sweno, persisting that there was no
train on the road. The car was put upon the
rails and the men got on asd started for Sac
carappa. Presently the head light of an en-
CINE coming down the line was seen, and some
of the men cried out that there was danger
ahead; but Sweno said the light proceeded
from building in the distance. In moment
the engine came upon them and all jumped of
but Sweno. TIE engine struck him fl aclurinl
the back of his skull, killing him instantly. Al

TERRIBLE DISASTER TO The
ARCTIC WHALING FLEET.
Thirty Three Vessels Crushed OF Abandoned

| SAN Francisco, Nov. 5.-The steamsh'p
Moses Taylor has arrived from Honolulu anu
Australia. She reports having boarded the
water-logged brig Shelchoff from San Francis
CO to Callao, and found all dead except tue
captain.
She also reports terrible diaster to the Arc
tic whaling fleet which was caught in Inc
| lee.
Thirty three vessels were crushed or aoan-
| doned. The captains OF the walters Arctic,
| Gay head, Minerva, Eliza, Swift, Reindeer, Eu-
| genia, and Pacia, had arrived at Honolulu anu
furnished the following details: The vessels
| commenced arriving, says Capt. Tbadeus' Oh
the first OF May. On the first Of June the ice
opened and let the fleet up within sight Oh
Cape Navarina. The feet working ncrtn-
wards found some whales, and crossing the
Gulf of Anadir, in the Behring Sea, more and
plenty, but experienced much trouble from ice
and when the feet arrived at Cape Behering
and Flour Bay, whales had passed through
into the Arctic Ocean whittier the feet follow
ed, meeting with fair success till about Sept,
LIST, when ice foes and bergs to q great exte Mt
COMMANDED drifting aud by the 10th Of Sept, q
number of vessels had been sunk and the bulk
of the remainder were ashore. Sept. ID the
brig Comet sunk and on the 7th the Roman
was drifted bodily out to sea by two foes and
crushed like an egg-shell. The crew narrowly
escaped.
The Florida and Victoria of San Francisco,
were also crushed. Sept. 18th, the captains Of
the fleet hemmed in between Point Beliber
and Wainwright Inlet, held meeting and re-
solved to abandon the vessels in order to save
the lives of the crews, which was done, and
1900 sailors took refuge on board the remain
der Of the few which had been fortuate enough
to escape outside before the ice had closed in.
The vessels abandoned are the C.ncordia Gay
head, George, John Wells, Massachusetts,, j..
d. Thompson, Contest, G. Morgan, Champion,
Henry Tabor e. Swift, G. Cocker, Navy, Rein
deer, Fanny, George Howland, Pacia. Eugen-
ia, Raboola, T. Dickinson, Florida, Minerva,
William Roach, Mary Rowan and Comet
The ice drove down from the northwest fore
ing the feet on the mud banks in the ice
grounding in fourteen feet ofwater.
1t is supposed that the whole numbe, lost
will reach 50 The vessels known to be safe
with the oil secured are as follows: Arctic
with 4So barrels; Progress, 25o; Chance, 300
sperm aid $50 whale; Webster, go; Lsgoda,
1875; Europa, $50; Medos, 450 whale and 40
sperm.
All the abandoned vessels, 1t Is believed, will
be total loss, there being little chance Of re-
covering even the cargoes in the spring. The
captain Of the Florida arrived here by the Mo-
ses Taylor. The news created the greatest ex-
element at Honolulu and here.
Nearly all the officers and many of the men
came to San Francisco On the steamer. The
bark Comet will bring what she can and the
Consul of Honolulu is negotiating for a vessel
to take the rest Of the party.
No deaths are reported In the fleet. The loss
is estimated at half million exclusive of car
goes.
