The latest plan fof building railroad
cars is the invention of Mr.. Stiles, of
Bridgeport, Conn. The model is con-
structed of brass tubing; the only wood
used is in the flooring of the car and the
platform of the trucks. The patent is de-
signed to supersede the wooden cars now
in use. A saving is claimed for the i'm
provement of quarter in cost of con.
struction, quarter in weight, and that
the cars so made will be one-third strong
er. The cars are to be covered with metal
also, and, if required, nickelplated. Con-

it is claimed, will prevent q train from

The VILE du Havre Disaster.

LONDON, December z.
The account of the Vile du Havre dis
aster given by the rescued crew repre-
sents that the Captain and Second Mate
of the steamer came on board the Loeb
Erne shortly after the collision, and did
not assist in saving any of the passengers,
and that the majority of the French crew
exhibited lamentable cowardice.
The Captain of the Loeb Erne makes
the following statement OF the circum-
stances attending the collision with the
steamer: After first sighting the steamer,
and seeing that she was coming danger
ously near, the Captain of the Loeb Erne
rang the ships bell and ported his helm.
The helm of the steamer was put to star
board, but the steamer came right across
the Loeb Erne's bow. The people in the
first boat from the French steamer did
not say she was sinking, but the Captain
of the Loeb Erne observing that the
steamer was settling down, sent out his
boats.
Neither the first French boat nor sec
ond, which arrived shortly afterward,
bringing the first and second officers of
the Vile du Havre, attempted to return,
but, in spite of the expostulations Of all
the crew which were left on board the
Loeb Erne, and the threats of their mates
to fire upon them, remained alongside the
Loeb Erne. The clothing Of the French
officers who reached the deck of the
Loeb Erne was dry, showing no signs of
their having been in the water. Finally,
some Englishmen seized and manned one
of the French boats, and went to the res
cue of those struggling in the sea. Only
one of the French boats crew assisted in
the rescue.
The Captain of the Lock Erne consid.
ers that the great loss of life resulted
from the fact that his vessel drifted such
long distance from the steamer after the
collision before it was possible to shorten
sail, from the hardness of the steamer in
showing signals of distress, and from the
| misconduct of the French crew.
