A Desperate Encounter.


Tuesday morning, as Conductor fuckers
train, which leaves Boston at o'clock, was
leaving Mattapau, the engineer discovered
man lying upon the track short distance
ahead. He at once blew the whistle, and the
train was stopped, within few feet of the
man. The brakeman went forward and
aroused him, and was met with the most
abusive language. He was removed from his
perilous position, and the train went on. At
ten o'clock the train returned. and the same
man was seen at the depot at Mattapan. II
was thought best by Mr.. Tucker to take him
to Boston, as he was evidently bent on sui
eide, and one of the brakemen was instructed
to ask him to get on board and come to Bos-
ton. Instead of complying with the request,
he again commenced to abuse the brakeman,
and gave strong evidence Of insanity. Or

John ID. Bradlee of Milton, who happened to
be on the train, attempted to compel the man
to get on the train, in order to prevent him
from again attempting to commit suicide. as
was evidently his purpose. most desper-
ate struggle then ensued, and it took the uni.
ted efforts of six men to put handouts on the
desperate man, during which time he serious
ly injured two or three Of those assisting in
his arrest. He caught the brakeman's thumb
in his mouth, and inflicted an ugly wound
with his teeth. He was finally handcuffed
and got into the smoking car, where he again
had another struggle with the officers, but
was overpowered and brought to Boston.
Here he was given in charge of the officers,
and taken to station Four. There is no doubt
about the young mans insanity, and he evil

HEAVY FIRE IN NEW YORK
Warehouses Burned.
Loss 100000.

New York, 80. AT ll.30 2. NJ a fire was
discovered in the large government bonded
warehouse on Greenwich street, about an
hour ago, the fire being located in the fifth
story. The streams from the steam fire en-
gnes were Intellectual, and the fire spread
rapidly along and through the upper stories
some two hundred feet on Greenwich street.
The material burning appeared to be very
cOmbustible, and the building extends
through some two hundred feet to Church ST.,
two additional alarms were sent out for en-
gines from up town. The flames continued
10 increase, and at this hour the entire roof,
which is mansard, on the Greenwich street
side the building, and the two upper stories
have been burned A bakery adjoining has
also been burned, and several tenement
houses were in imminent danger, but the fire.
men have evidently now obtained control Of
the fire and will undoubtedly keep it confined
to the government storehouses. The build
ing was filled with valuable goods, and those
not destroyed by fire are undoubtedly ruined
by water. The damage will probably reach
over 100000. heavy brick wall only pre-
vented the fire from making through to
Thames street, which is filled with tenement
houses crammed with poor Irish, among whom
the utmost CONSERVATION prevailed. The
wind is light from the west, and the sparks
are mainly carried across Church street into
the rear of Trinity churchyard, doing no dam
age. The large stone school house of Trini-
ty parish has thus far escaped, although the
flames were at one time within twenty feet of
the rear portion of the building. The ware
houses were in charge of Hon. w. II. Oar
ling, government appraiser. No fires have
been used in the buildings since last winter,
and the fire tonight is supposed to have
been caused by spontaneous combustion
among some dry goods or hemp, superinduced
by the heated atmosphere prevailing to- day.
