A Railroad Reminiscence.

The recent death of Erastus Corning
has suggested the following reminis-
cence: Mr.. Corning stood in 1865 the
autocrat of the New York Central Road,
but his Albany predictions were now
becoming dangerous TO him, and he
soon perceived that new and threat
ening rival was to appear in New York.
This was Commodore Vanderbilt. In
1864 the Commodore owned 100000
in Central stock, and in the contest
with Olcott he voted for Corning, but
he saw that the interests of the road
demanded important attention to the
throu gh traffic, and that Albany must
be made way station. Mr.. Corning
was notified that this policy should be
adopted, but he could not sacrifice AL
bany, and as the Commodore had OBJ
tanned a controlling amount of stock
he resigned in favor of Dean Richmond,
whom Vanderbilt designated as his
successor. 1t may be remarked that
this change failed 10 suit the Commo-
dore. He found that Richmond was
too much influenced by the consider
alton of local travel and freight, and
did not give the through business pre-
ference. For this reason he ordered
Richmond to resign, and this sad warn.
ing, it is said, threw the latter into that
fever which occasioned his death.

An Alleged BOrgia i'm Virginia.

LEEsBURG, Va, April l5.-What APP
pears to be Borgid case has Just been
discovered. A Mrs. Emily Z. Lloyd, a
lady of responsibility, is suspected OF
having poisoned her whole family, con.
sistingo of her husband and,four children,
as well as an elderly female relative
who was visiting her. After the death
of the last child, about the close of
March, analyzation of its stomach by
Professor Toury, of Baltimore, disclosed
the existence of arsenic, and on the
announcement of that fact, late on
Saturday, Coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the child had been pois.
oned by its mother. The case of the
accused comes before the magistrate
for hearing today. The other FIVE
bodies are to be disinterred and an
analytical examination made of them.
The only reason alleged for the COM
mission of these crimes is that the wo-
man desired to remarry and wished to
put the children out of the way in

Probable Wife Murder.

A Paterson, n. j., dispatch of April
Is, says: "Four months ago one Nc.
Clone, who had given himself the name
of Brophy, hired house on the banks
of the Passaic in Paterson. The house
was a mere cabin, which had been put
on the old stone quarry under the hill,
and in lonely place on an unfre.
quented park or wagon road leading to
the valley of the rocks. Shortly after
McGlone moved his family there, his
wife one night, after clearing away the
supper table, took the pail and went to
the river shore, but few steps away, To
get water for morning, as was her usual
custom. She did not return. The hus-
band was soon afterward told by the
children about "mother" going out for
water, and he guessed she would come
back and sent the children to bed, and
went TO bed himself; but the wife and
mother did not return, and suspicious
were excited against him, as he tried to
make it appear that she had gone off TO
Ireland. But the family was obscure,
and after talk among the neighbors
the man moved off and the woman was
forgotten, until the body was found on
Wednesday last, washed ashore oppo.
site Passaic village, about seven miles,
by the river, from the town whence the
woman was missing. The body was
we'll preserved and bore evidence of
foul play. A justice of the peace from
Lodi was requested to hold an inquest,
but got rough box, tumbled the body
into it, and, mailing it up, buried it. 1t
was conjectured that McGlone moved
to the lonely spot at the "swash," in
tending to murder his wife, knowing
that her cries could never be heard
above the roar of Passaic falls. The
publication OF the facts led to a disn-
terment on Saturday, and before Pat
erson jury, the womans oldest boys
testimony pointed clearly to his father
as the murderer. The body having been
exhumed showed evidence of foul play,
and the jury rendered verdict against
McGlone. Not having read the news.
papers, he returned to Paterson yester-
dey, and is in prison. Behind this
crime is dashing widow at Long Island
to whom McGlone has paid attentions.

A Wonderful Escape.

A really wonderful escape from being
cut TO pieces occurred on an English
line of railway week or two ago. A
young man employed by the London
and Northeastern Company as coke
filler at certain station was returning
home from work, when he jumped upon
the step of a passing goods engine to
ride to a certain crossing few hundred
yards southwark In the darkness he
was unobserved by the driver, who
therefore did not slacken for him to get
down, and thus, owing to the impetus OF
the engine, he was not able to bring up,
when he leaped oil, until he had run
into the fore.foot of the next line Of
rails. Scarcely had his foot touched the
ground when a down train came up at
speed of fully twelve miles an hour, and
before he could escape he was struck by
the front of tue engine and thrown face
downward between the rails, where he
Law until the entire train-in which
there were nearly score pair of wheels
passed over his PROSTATE body without
touching it. Beyond few slight bruises
and scratches, he found himself little the
worse for his harbreadth escape.

The Man Who Fired the Nauyoo Temple.

From the Peoria (Ill) Transcript
Among the events OF the famous Nor
mon war was the burning of the Nauvoo
Temple. The structure was burned in
the night time, and so successful was
the party engaged in its firing that prob
ably he was never even suspected. The
recent death of the incendiary, how
ever, has removed the necessity of fur
ther secrecy, and a day or two ago we
were put in possession of his name and
the facts connected with the burning of
the Temple by the only living person
cognizant of them The Temple
was fired by Joseph B. Agnew,
who recently died in Appanoose town
ship, Hancock county, in this State, at
the age of some 5S years. 1t was always
supposed that the party who burned
the building had entered through the
basement, but the facts are, Mr. Agnew
surreptitiously obtained key to one of
the doors of the Temple some time be-
fore the act. No one was engaged with
him, and only four knew he was the
party. Three of these are now dead.
Agnew prepared his fire-balls and other
combustibles at his residence. Placing
them in his saddle-bags, he rode on
horseback to Nauvoo, and in the night
entered the Temple with his key, passed
up to the cupola, arranged his mate
rails and fired them, and then quietly
escaped the way he came. Our inform
ant, who is a responsible and prominent
citizen of the western part Of the State,
says he thinks he can procure the key
of the Temple which Agnew secured in
order to accomplish his work.
