THE UNIvERsALIsT ExCURsIoN.-Overf five
hundred people went on the excursion of the
Universalist society yesterday, although the
skies indicated rain in the morning. The
weather was good, however-rather warm, to
be sure, but fair-and the trip was one of en-
jOyment to all who went. 1t happened, for
tunately, that the horse guard companies from
both Providence and Pawtucket were at Rocky
Point entertaining the ROXbury horse guards;
consequently the party from Worcester got the
benefit of their enlivening pres ence, which,
with the American brass band of Providence,
days entertainment. There were present at
dinner, in the new dining quarters at the
point, upwards of two thousand persons
The eXcursionsts arrived home at hafpast
nine in the evening.

AsTRAY.-An uncommonly bright little four
years-old darkey was picked up on Summer
street, yesterday afternoon, and taken to the po-
lice station; for the little fellow was at loss
to know what direction to take in order to 90
home. He opened his eyes wide at all the new
things he saw, answered questions unhesltating-
ly, and seemed entirely unconcerned. His name,
he said, was Charlie Washington Johnson, -
and he lived cat home" where, as he further
stated, he had big sister who went to school,
another pair of trousers without hole in the
knee, and a new hat, ever so much better than
the one he wore every day. This information,
although of no use in ascertaining where the
clipper little runaway belonged, served to bring
him into the friendly notice of the officers; and
when he asked for a loan of two cents from
Capt. Howe, with which to buy an apple, he was
allowed to run across the street and make the
purchase, with the understanding that he was
to return Immediately. But he concluded to
take his chances on another tramp after he got
out of doors, and trudged off, no one knows
whittier. He was sought after, when his failure
to return was noticed, but to no purpose, and
his mother and sister, from whom he ran away
were anXiously looking for him at late hour
His home is in South Worcester, some two miles
from where he was found.

PASSENGER CARS, for the Worcester and
Gardner dlroad, with smoking and baggage
cars to match, are being built by Osgood
Bradley, and will be furnished by the first of
August, at about which time it is expected the
road will be in running condition. 1t is under
stood that arrangements are being effected with
the Nashua road by which the west track of
the latter will be used this side of BARRIERS
crossing, thus obviating the inconvenience and
liability to accident inevitable from railroad
crossing at that point. The Gardnar cars will
start from Foster street station, on the Nashua
track.
Mr. Bradley is also building another elegant
"New London and White Mountains" car for
the through route between New York and New
Hampshire over the Norwich aud Nashua roads
These cars are real luxury, and cannot but be
appreciated by the travelling public, who have
experienced the inconvenience of change of cars
over long Travelled routes.
Mr.. Bradley has just completed the building
of two superb and elegantly appointed "Wag-
ner's drawing loom cars" for the New York
and Boston Shore line, via Providence. They
are named the "Juniata" and the "Crescenta
and are built in about the same style as those
recently made for the New York and Boston ex-
press line, via Worcester and Springfield. Their
cost is $4,000 each. One was sent to New
York last Saturday, and on Monday Commo-
dore Vanderbilt chartered it for family trip to
the White Mountains, going by way of New
Haven and the Connecticut River road.

New York, IS. Recorder Hackett in
charging the Grand jury this forenoon, in the
special charge on the Wesfied boiler explo-
explosion, pointed out to the jurors the pro-
visions ofthe law applicable to the case, and
the circumstances necessary to be found to
exist to reach the president of the company,
the superintendent and engineer. The Re-
corder said, sit is often the case that surbor-
dnates are made the scape-goats for erring
officials who are over them, and who are
more powerful in place and means. Ii it is
possible on the facts and law to hold the
president, directors, ETC., of common car
riers responsible for accidents happening to
passengers, whose lives and limbs they are
bound to insure against negligence, then a
great and beneficial example would be set
These officials exact liberal combinations
and fares, and they should be held to the ut
most vigilence.' He concluded by saying
"With the whole nation looking at our judi
cial action upon this great catastrophe, let US
all give no room for after reproaches from any
quarter"

rhe Brunswick bank defalcation excites
general interest. The capital stock of the
bank is Sl5, 900. The cashier has embezzled
o6, 100 and odd dollars. His property at
tached is estimated at $4,000. His bonds
men are brunswick parties, and perfectly
good. Robert and Richard McMannus and
the heirs of George Woodeside are bound
for $4,000. This is a United States bank
and the public can in no event be losers.
Thus it appears that the stockholders are
secured from loss. Rogers is reticent and
makes no explanation. 1t is expected that
funds have been furnished to son in the
west. The fullness of his records up to
year ago and the almost entire absence of any
since, renders it probable that the specula-
tons have been going on for about twelve
months. His plan of concealment was to
make use ofthe bonds deposited and to omit
making entry of deposits and in his returns
reckon in the bonds as present. He had
finally concluded to enter all the deposits
and to saddle all upon the bank alone
reported case of small pox or varioloid
at kttery and another at Kennebunk, both
from Lowell, are creating considerable ex-
citement in those localities. The man who
is sick at Kittery has just returned from
Lowell and he went from Portsmouth to
kittery in a crowded wagon.
The fall term of Colby University, Water
vile begins on Wednesday.
Miss Ella Pearson, who was killed in the

intended husband. He was also among the
killed.
sail boat containing two men was cap
sized of Merrill's wharf Saturday forenoon.
A boat put out and rescued the men.

1t is reported that the road bed of the Knox
Lincoln X. II. at "Dckey's Fill' in War
rem, has settled some two feet for distance
OF about seventy feet. The road begun to
settle last sunday, and if it does not sink
further, the interruption to the progress OF
the work will be slight.

Another Terrible Explosion.
BETWEEN SIXTY and SEVENTY
KILLED AND INJURED.

Mobile. IS. The steamer Ocean Ware, low
pressure, left this city Sunday forenoon with
about 200 people on board for an excursion
to Fish river about twenty miles from the
city. On return the boat reached Point Clear
at . o'clock p. NJ, was made fast to land,
and part of the passengers went ashore.
After half an hour tile whistle was blown and
they returned to the boat, had just got on
board when the boiler exploded with great
force, followed by rumbling, kissing sound.
Fragments of timber of the boat and metal of
the boiler were blown in every direction.
The forward part of the cabin was carried
away, and the chimney fell upon the after
cabin and crushed it; the boat almost imme-
diately sunk, and her bow is now submerged.
About GO or 20 persons were killed or in
jured by the explosion, II of whom have
been recovered. Twenty-eight wounded
persons have been brought to the city, and
one of them, girl has since died. The
scene was appalling and heart-rending ;
wilder scenes of grief are seldom witnessed
Capt. VIM. Eaton swan for sometime with both
legs broken a boat reached him just too late
and he went down. The two pilots and all the
firemen were killed, and the engineer and
his wife were severely injured 1t is impos.
sble correctly to estimate the loss of life.
By some it is supposed that at least thirty
or forty persons are buried in the debris of
the wreck, or at the bottom of the bay. A
diver has gone to the scene of the disaster
The accident has cast gloom over the whole
city, and universal sadness prevails. The
streets are crowded with people and the EEK
element is intense. The Ocean Wave has
been for some time considered an unsafe
boat and always has been unlucky. A Grim
inal responsibility rests somewhere. The
appearance Of the boiler indicated that it had
yielded through rottenness, as it had been
torn apart in long seam. Had it exploded
with greater violence the destruction of life
would have been more general.

has never complained of my starting behind
time during the term Of my employment.
Lunt, the depot master said to me on the
night Of the disaster that the superintendent
wanted him to get out of the depot as soon as
possible. Did not receive any caution on
that night did know thatithe express train
was to follow with ordinary delays express
would not reach my train before it arrived at
Revere; did not speak to any one as regards
to the starting of the express train, and had
no more than usual anxiety on the night in
question. After the collision either engineer
on my train was not disabled to my knowl-
edge; despatched an engine to East Boston
Tor help; sent ateam to Prescott and another
to Chelsea; have received instructions to
send for help and physicians, &C., in case of
accident; did not look at my watch from
the time started till midnight; gave no
order to run faster than usual that night; had
right OF road that night. In case of two trains
starting the rear train is to look out for train
ahead. 1t was understood that train had
right of way, and the burthen of responsible
ty rested on train that was following. Trains
at Boston in absence of the superintendent
are started by the depot master; left with the
understanding that the superintendent could
take care Of trains that started after me have
made no complaint ofbeing crowded for time
never saw before that night the Pullman
train. My cars have been built several
years, of monitor pattern did not expect the
express train would pass before my arrival

The Pemaquid Excursion.

The partial failure of the meeting here on
yesterday, (by reason of the weather and the
consequent nen-arrival of the barge from
Damariscotta, with hundreds of people from
different sections of the State) to commence
rate one of the earliest European settlements,
on this spot, made on the coast of North
America, and to inaugurate measures for the
erection of monument, to perpetuate the
same, did not discourage our people or their
friends at Damariscotta and Newcastle. To
day the Damariscotta Cornet Band, doing es-
cort duty, they have rallied in large numbers
and the original purposes of the occasion
have been accomplished, though not with
that complete success which would have been
insured had those on their way here Yesterday
reached here. Numerous speeches were
made at the stand, followed by poem by the
accomplished Mrs. Hackelton. The audience
then adjourned to the Dinner Tent, the in
viting resources of which were made free,
and farther speeches were delivered by
Messrs. Farley, Rev. Mr.. Drew of Augusta,
Poor of Belfast and others. Mr.. Drew's re-
marks were highly interesting and well re-
| ceived. The days work over, the committee
of our citizens, upon whom rested the pecu-
mary responsibility of the preparations and
the dinner. felt better, the kind remember
ance of them by Mr.. Bradbury of your city,

Halifax, N. S., %. All crews are now
here, and the four-oared race will come off
at ten o'clock Wednesday. All but the Prior
crew want smooth water; the boat of the
Prior crew being larger than the rest they
would have the advantage in rough water.
The st. John Paris crew is rather the favor
lite, but Americans are for backing the Amer
lean crew who are rowing well. There is
considerable betting on the Paris crew but
