A Mysterious Horror.

Boston, July 1S.-At South Boston this
evening the remains of little Katie Mary
Cuuan, girl of 10 years, who mysterious
" disappeared four months ago, was found
in the cellar of 327 Broadway, formerly
occupied as 4 store by Mrs. II. III. Pomery,
the mother Of young POmery who is
now in Jail awaiting trial ON a
charge of cruelty, tOrturing and
numbering the young boy Millen on the 22d
of April last. The discovery was made by
some workmen employed in an adjoining
cellar. \ stone was lOosened and fell up
on a pie of ashes in the part formally Oc-
cupied by the PomeryS, and upon going in
to remove it, the fragment of a dress was
seen protruding from the heap. Upon
pulling it out, the child's head was brought
to light. The police were at once summon
ed and the remainder of the body Ofthe child
was exhumed. The remains were much
decOmposed. The detectives and the pa
rents Of the child were sent for. The eS-
citement was SO intense that the mother
and elder brother of the Pomery boy were
arrested as a measure of safety, it being
feared they would be lynched. The theory
Of the detectives is that the young murderer
enticed his victim into the cellar during
the absence of his mother, ard after tor
turing her TO death disposed of the remains
as above.

/, SCENE IN THE BAvARIAN DIET

There has been great parliamentary
battle in Bavaria between the Govern
ment and the Ultramontane party, but
the victory was left with the former.
Herr Won Lutz, the Minister of WOr-
ship, was the object of attack, and his
enemies were defe- ted by majority Of
only one. The Munich correspondent
of the Independence Beige Describes
the attack as the result of "a yeritable
conspiracy kept secret till the last mo-
ment," which was designed to tall
like a thunderbOlt on the head Of the
Minister, who expected nothing Of the
Sort In the midst of a quiet discus
sion of the Budget of Worship, Herr
Freitag, an UltramOntane deputy,
rose to read in the name of his political
friends a declaration of war, which
stated that in future the clerical party
would refuse all subsidies 70 a minister
who had not the confidence Of the
country, ending with a motion to refuse
funds for the Polytechnic school.
Great agitation followed, the
Liberals being indignant at the man
puvre, and the evident design OF the
clericals to separate Herr Won Lutz
from his colleagues so as TO wreak per-
sonal vengeance on his head. The
maneuvre failed before the frmness
of the minister and the loyalty Of his
colleagues, who FASTENED to declare
their Joint responsibility for his policy.
..The last words of Herr Won Lutz the
correspondent says which contained a
threat of dissolution were pronounced
In the midst of an agitation such as the
Bavarian Diet-usually very quiet

journed till the evening. At the even
ing sitting. after some further lively
discussion, the minister was successful
on a division. by q to 76 through the
unexpected detection of Particularist
member. The UltramOntanes had
chosen time when they were aware
that some Of the Liberals were absent,
with a view to force on a dissolution or
to secure the retirement of the Minis
ter of Worship, who is the leading
spirit in the Cabinet.

A RAILWAY CRASH.
Two Express Trains Collide at
20 Miles am Hour.
Two Engines and Cars Utterly
Demolished.
Wonderful Escape Of Engineers-Oue
Man Killed and n Score of yEaurled


CANAZERAGO, Y. Y, July 1S.-Train:
No. s and Z, westward bound, both through
express trains on the Erie railroad, came il
collision on the single track mile east oi
| Canazerago at nine o'clock this morning
| while going from fifteen to twenty miles
| per hour. Both engines were destroyed
also the baggage and smoking cars of the
west bound train. A number of passengers
in the westward smoking ear were hurt.
One Van Horn, from Philadelphia, has his
left arm and leg broken, and seems to be
injured internally. A couple of other pas
sengers in the same car have arms
broken, and several have been
severely cut and bruised. The baggage
master of the western train. named At
kins, was killed. \ brakeman on the same
train had an ankle broken. The firemen
and engineers escaped with slight cuts and
bruises. The engine of the eastward train
plunged through the engine, baggage ana
smoking cars of the western train, smashed
the front platform and front end of the first
class car, which was filled with children,
who all escaped uninjured. The baggage
car of the eastward bound train has its end
and side burst out, but the bag
g5ge was uniDjured. The westward
baggage was destroyed and the mails
soaked and torn. 1t is stated that the
eastward train had the right of way and
the westward train should have waited at
BaTres, the next station out of CanazeraoO.
The westward conductor says he had new
engineer this morning; that he instructed
him at Barres to pull up to the station and
wait for the other train, instead Of which
he plunged ahead. The road curves sharply
where the collision took place, and trains
are invisible TO each other one hundred
yards apart. The crash of the engines was
the first warning to the passengers.
LATER-We have a further list Of nine
others with broken limbs. The boiler
heads of the engines smashed into each
other. Both boilers remain on their trucks
but are swept clear of tenders, and all the
top and side of the hamper Of the westward
baggage car was torn to splinters and fell
on the east side of the track forward. The
first Car of the westward train, which was
Full of Ladies and Children,
left its trucks, swept everything aboSt lie
floor VI the smoking car and Only stopped
at the wreck Of the engines, where u
remained exactly on the floor Of the smoking
car nearly intact, while the body, seats and
passengers Of the smoking car and a potion
of the baggage car were piled on the vest
ward side of the road. The railroad cOm-
pany sent a wagon lead of trunks to the
wreck for passengers who had lost thnirs,
but great deal of baggage is lost. The
railroad employees say the westward train
was entitled TO the track.

has endeavored to introduce TO the wild
and untutored peasants of the district.
The agent presents the tenants to the
worthy innOVator, who inquiries into the
condition of the grunbling and dissat-
isfed recipients of his favors. At
length, on a tenant presenting himself
whom the agent fails to recognize, the
baronet turns to the figure before him,
which. with head and face swollen out
of all proportion and showing distorted
features and fiery eyes through the folds
of a cotton handkerchief, awaits his
address in sullen silence.

NEW YORK, July IS.-The physicians
who have been acting as a cOrOner's jury in
the case of William Mccormick, who d led
of fhydrOphobia, June %, have brought their
INVESTIGATION to a close and given verdict.
They say: "We have been unable TO eS-
tablish conclusively by what dog the dis
ease was conveyed to Mccormick. We re-
gard hydTopObia as disease communicated
only by incubation with a species of virus
and not capable Of Transmission from a
nOn-rabid animal. As a means of preven-
tiOn, we recommend that persons
bitten by any dog or any animal
shall at once, if the wound is
received in a part where il isproper to prac-
tice excisiOn, to have the wounded part
thoroughly eXciSed, and that the wound be
allowed 10 bleed for few moments in a
basin Of VAIN water, and finally that the
wound be cauterized with nitrate of sill
yer, nitric acid, cauStic potassia, hot iron
or burning ccal. In case a surgeon can
not be found to practice the eXcision, the
patient should apply a cord above the
wound and then suck the part, provided he
has 10 excavations in his mOutL, and at
the first opportunity apply some one Of the
causticS mentioned. At any period prior

HOW A FRENCHMAN DOES HIS
FISHING.

a Paris correspondent Of the Nel1
York Times tells how Nj. de la Rue, a
public man of some note in France,
goes a fishing at his country place, as
follows:
"He has domesticated the cormorant
France. Nothing is more curious
than to see his fayorite bird, old Tom
dive into the Seine at Corbeil and shoot
like an arrow through the water in
chase of a fleeing fish. With patience
and kindness the cormorant can be
easily trained. Before going out for
sport the birds are left for some hours
without food; they are then taken to
the water where a cord is tied about
the Eeck loosely In order to prevent the
cormorant from swallowing the fish.
When ready, NJ. De la Rue sets Old
Tom upon the edge of flat-boat, and
he is speedily followed by Young
Dick, who watches every movement of
his superior IN age. Presently Old
Tom makes a dive, and Dick steps into
his place. If the water is clear, one
can trace Toms rapid movements with
the eye, and watch the sharp turns
maue Dy MIN anu the HShs dS Luc ldtecH
makes frantic efforts to escape. If he
misses his game, Tom comes up looking
very much ashamed of himself, and
sits upon the fiat while Dick takes a
plunge If he catches the fish, as is
generally the case, he comes to the
surface and gives it toss into the air,
catching it by the head and letting it
slide down into his pouch, where it is
stopped by the ligature. The bird
makes no opposition when the fish is
taken, and takes its place for another
dive. When the plumage of the cor
morant becomes saturated with water
he becomes heavy. and then spreads
himself in the sun to dry, where he
must be left in peace. From time to
time a small fish is given him to eat,
the hgature being removed for the pur-
pose"

HOrs du Combat by the Harvard.
SARATOGA, July 1S.-About - 700 peO-
pie assembled at the lake this morning to
witness the University boat race set down
for 10 a. NJ. The lake was smooth rs glass
al 9:4J. The first gun was fired al lO:20.
The second and starting gun at lO:4T. All
the boats got off handsomely together, the
Columbus at the half mile taking the lead.
Then the Trinity made a squirt, over
hauled the Columbia, and at the end Of a
mile took the lead from Yale,
which in the struggle had got
ahead, but at that moment fOuled and fell
behind. Princeton came up close on Trim
ity. Other crews were about in line be-
hind. At the mile and a half post the
Columbia came to the front again with
Harvard struggling sharply, the remainder
maintaining their former positions. At
the two mile post the Columbia was still
in advance with Cornell making a spurt to
Oyertake her, and passed the Harvard. At
the two and half mile post the Columbia
was still ahead with the Wesley
an, which now showed great Wig
or, pressing her sharply and steadily.
The last half-mile was then one continuous
exciting pull between the Columbia, Wes-
leyan, Harvard and Dartmouth, and they
came in in that order, the Columbia ahead
two boat lengths, and making the distance
in sixteen minutes and fifty seconds. The
winning crew was greeted with tremendous
cheering. On reaching shore, B. Frank,
the captain tainted. He was Immediately
lifted by the crew and carried on their
shoulders up hill to the Moon Lake House,
but before reaching the house he had en-
tirely recovered. The scene following the
race was one long to be remembered.
Accident TO the Yale.
In the second mile Yale, it was unani-
mOusIy adjudged, had the lead of all and
Harvard was second. The Harvard boat
then
Ran into the Yale Boat,
breaking the latter's rudder and dipping
the boat so the bow broke his oar. Yale at
once fell behind. The Harvard crew assert
that the collision was Yale's fault, as she
took Harvard's water. Capt. Cook denies
this, and the general testimony supports
him. The feeling between the two crews
is very bitter.
While Harvard and ale were tangled
