The SeabrOOk Disaster.

The Boston Advertiser of yesterday has
the following in relation to the coroner's in.
quest on the 29th:
The evidence of day makes it seem ex-
ceedinely improbable that the responsibility
of the Seabrook disaster can be attached by
any intelligent jury to the brakeman Dow.
Mrs. Newell Dow, the wife of the surly wit
ness of yesterday, added her testimony to
| support the now incontestable fact that Con.
ductor Smith is not Conductor Smith bu,
| is Charles Dow. Mrs. Newell Dow certainly
ought to know, as she is second cousin OF
the gentleman of doubtful identity. 1t is not
little strange that Mr. Smith should have
labored under a lifelong error as regards his
own personality. But seriously, this three
fold mistake in the person of Dow is of i'm
portance to him in a marked degree. All the
little expressions of doubt which the Sea-
brook witnesses have recounted by being thus
shifted to MIR. Smiths strong shoulders, be-
come the most natural and innocent conject-
ures. But the testimony of Alfred n. Dow
of Seabrook is perhaps the most Important
that has yet been elected. This gentleman
was among the first to examine the switch af
the accident. He describes minutely the con-
dtion in which it was left, and in such condi-
ton may be found a strong argument against
the supposition that Dow threw back the
switch in moment Of abstraction. One can
hardly appreciate the force OF this argument
withou, an acquaintance with the switch in
question. Suffice it to say that the switch
was left in position, as regards the pin. the
link, the paddock and chain, which no en-
ployee Of the road or no one at all familiar
with its use, could have given it, 1t was in
the most extravagantly incorrect position
which can be imagined The error in its
displacement was not only an error of omis
SON. but most decided error of commission.
The inference is apparent. No one for a
moment supposes that Dow could have mis-
placed the switch purposely. The hypothe
sis is absurd. If he did it at all, he did it
carelessly and almost automatically. But in
that case his unconscious and mechanical ad
justment of the switch could by no possibility
have left it in the absurd arrangement in
which il was discovered The probability
that the switch was tempered with grows
stronger and stronger. Mr.. Dow is described
by those who know him best, as a careful, in
teligent and honest man, and it is therefore
with no little pleasure that his friends regard
the turn matters have taken. TO say that no
court of law could for an instant find reason
tor his detention in the testimony adduced, j.
not 20 pat the matter one whit stronger than
the circumstances warrant. The inquest, will
probably be finished tomorrow.

TRIUMPH FOR TWENTY YEARS More than
twenty years ago the Mustang Linament made
its debut in the West. Its cures of the va
rious external diseases of horses and cattle,
astonished the planters and farmers of the
Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and n demand
for it sprung up which necessitated its manu-
faeture on an extensive scale. Soon the dis
cevery was made that il was a grand specific
for rheumatism, govt, neuralgia, earache,
toothache, and other external ailments OF
mankind Then it was tried as a healing,
pain killing application, in cases of outward
injury, such as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms,
Sc, and was found equally strviceable. The
fame of the new remedy TOR some of the most
painful ills that affl;t mankind and the lower
animals, spread rapidly, and Mustang Lima
ment soon took rank in every State and Ter
| ritory of the Union as standard cure.
