was in need OF clothing for her children

went up stairs to call her, leaving the visitor

The Collie Failure.

tLondon Correspondence N. y. Timesl
sergt. Ballinsine, the counsel for the BROTH
ers Collie, now on trial for defrauding the Lon
don ard Westminster Bank by means OF ac-
commodation bills, has intimated that he means
to call the heads OF tie chief houses in the city
in order to show by their evidence how general
is the practice for which the Collies are being
prosecuted and this threat has created
some uneasiness. There are good many
respectable people who are beginning to think
that, on the WHOLE it would be better to let the
Colles alone. There can be no doubt that,
whether or not they only did what others do, At
least they excelled in the magnificent scale OF
their operations both commercially and social
ly. The biggest house in Kensington Palace
Gardens, with the fattest funkeys, in powder
ed hair and blazing liveries was not big enougl
\ for one OF the Oollies and when he saw Alber
Grants palace rising at the foot OF the Garden
! he felt bound to have his own mansion rebul!
in a style OF unexampled grandeur. The esti
mated liabilities of the firm are said to be near
ly ten millions, and it is doubted whether tn
quarter of a million assets alleged to ex's
has not been greately exaggerated.

OF Talbot county, Wednesday evening. We had
heard that the people along the line OF the late
tornsdoes in Talbot aud Harris counties were all

the ground. to get in when storm threatened

He assured us that most every family had dug
into the ground q large hole. from tiveto ten
feet square, owing to the size OF the family. Al

A PcrtIOus Position and RM ExtraOr-

Yesterday morning, about . O'Clock, ~ the
boat Good Templar was passing under the Fer
ry street bridge, that spans the Eric canal
little daughter Of the captain of the boat John
son. about II years old, took it into her
head to swing nom one of the iron rods of the
bridge, and before she could release herself the
boat passed on and left her suspended over the
water.
Her cries attracted the attention Of the work
men upon General Rathbones new foundry,
but her position was such that 1t seemed almost
impossible TO render her any assistance, she
being about midway under the bridge and the
only alternative left her, apparently, was to
drop into the canal, aud take the chances OF
being rescued by some Of the spectators. This
she would not do, yet it was but a question OF
! time tefore she would be compelled to relin-
| quish her hold and drop exhausted INTO the canal
At this iuncture, relief came to the little suf-
ferer. A man named Michael Casey residing on
| Ferry street, seeing the crowd had come to

Sufficient. With coolness worthy OF record, he
diyested himself OF coat. hat and boots, and get

leap and caught the iron rod on which the little

He then "walked" hand over hand until he
reached he r, and having got his Al m around hei
waist lowered her down until she rested her
arms on his feet. 1t this way he returned to the
towpath side Of the canal and deposited hif

Railroad ArFangem emeMt for the CeM-
aemMiaI

Tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company have
completed plan for the arrangement OF their
tracks at the Centennial grounds. Three tracks
will be laid around circle, and this will be used
respectively for arriving and departing trains
from New York, Baltimore and Washington.
The trains from Jersey City will be run directly
to the Centennial grounds. They will reach
them on the north track, and then switch into
tile yard In case of three trains arriving at
once, they will run from the main
track aud be switched ono upon each
OF three tracks composing one circle,
the trains stopping upon the Belmont avenue
side in such way as not to overlap each other.
Trains which do not depart immediately after
their arrival will go around the circle and be
| backed upon some Of the IA sdngs which will
be built lust north Of tho main tracks. There
will be over seven miles of tracks in this yard.
Regarding the number OF passengers for whose
transportation provision must be made, there
can be only conjecture. The Centennial Com
mssioners have named 5000 daily from the New
York division Of the road 1t is calculated that
train can be unloaded at this yard every three
minutes Trains OF Is to 20 cars can be run with
one engine on the New York division; OF about
- cara on the Western division, and probably
from 20 to 25 cars from the South.
