The Treasury Secret Service had infor-
nation through its agent Of the arrest in
San Francisco of James Nj. Lindell, Cap.
tain, and Ellis II. Deane, mate, of the bark
Union, which was alleged to have been
purposely wrecked in Puget Sound, May
| to defraud the insurance companies.
The vessel and cargo proved total loss,
the crew, however, escaping, and making
their way to Victoria, B. G. While there
the cook made IN affidavit that he over
heard the captain and mate talking about
dumping her, and that the vessel once
struck but foated off: Subsequently he
heard one of the officers say, ''Weli, we
will tx her this time" and, shortly after,
the bark ran on rock and soon sank.
The mate has admitted his guilt and
stated that he was induced to wreck the
vessel by the captain, who told him he
would be ruined man if he did not get
the insurance. The crime, if established,
is punishable with death, and is of rare
occurrence. This in the first case of al.
legged deliberate wrecking which has come
to the knowledge Of the United States au.
thorities for a long time.

She was joined to her idol of sin, and
no imploring from the one who loved her
next to mother could induce her to re.
lease her clutch upon that which was
singing her to death with strange fas-
cination. This was the scene, last night,
over on the West side. After 10 clock
a respectable appearing man en-
tered the West Madison street
station. and with trouble written all over
his countenance he asked for the SER
|geant. Sergt. johnson stepped up to him
and made himself known. The man sta
ted that he was deputy sheriff in one of
the counties in the MOI thern part Of the
State, and that he had story to relate
that gave MIN the deepest concern: He
had daughter who had forsaken his
home, and coming to Chicago had cast
her life upon that sea that would certain
ly and surely hurry her into hopeless sin
and ruin. Sergt. johnson offered to 20
with him to the place and use his cndea-
vors with that of the father to induce the
hayward girl to return. They found her
in enc of the "abodes'' on Clinton street
When they entered the daughter was
dressed in her evening attire and talk
ing as an abandon, all flushed With wine.
When told that her father awaited
her in the back parlor, she swept
her skirts hurricdly about the room,
and approached him with the mien of
woman that had resolved to die III the
depths. The father was eloquent in his
grief, and assured her that the home she
Lad deserted would welcome her back
and forgive. Sergt. johnson gave her
recital of his observations of such life
as she was leading, and taking her by the
hand begged her to listen to the petition
Of her father But there never came
culver on her beautiful but sin-bardened
face. There was not falter of the lips,
and the eyes seemed to be fixed and de-
termined. She told her father he had
better go home and attend to his BUSH
ness; that she had started out to see the
land, and proposed to keep it. up. She
said after she had tried it about three
years, if she didn't like it she would com;
home. Persuasion lost it's power, and
the father pulled his hat down over his
face, and went away, refusing to use any
stringent method to rescue the girl. She
was enticcd away from her home at the
start by variety troupe, and from that
time until the present her descent has
been rapid, and her condition now hasn't
sufficient hope in it to encourage the
heart of the man who reared her.

5000. Rosario, Sanantonio, Capacho,

pletc ruins. Salasean suffered severely,
and the adjoining country is nearly de-

Cucut'lla, Arbedollas, Santiago, Gallindo,

The number Of dead in Cucuta is calcu.
lated at three.fourths of the population.
The families saved are in the outskirts of
what was the city, but they will soon be
obliged to retire, as the qualification of
the dead will not allow them to remain.
1t is hcartrend jng to see the wounded,
who have no care, aud who cannot live
long in their present condition. The
thieves and robbers swept down on the
ill'fated city, and hardly single safe has
been saved from the custom house. The
plllagc is general. Four hundred mules
were killed in the streets, and as there is
no one to remove them the stencil is be-
coming frightful. The store-house at
Puerto de Los Cachas was sacked and
burned by bandits. In Piedecurata the

Washington Correspondence Chicago Times
The developments in the Avery case
have called attention to the possibilities
of illicit gains in the numerous snbordi-
nate Offices of the government. A gov.
eminent official who holds a position
where he comes into possession Of infor-
nation, is daily besought by the
most seductive brides to sell the infor-
nation, and become the paid servant of
some ring. A former secretary of a
p.an who was once high official in the
Treasury, informed the Times correspon-
dent that, although the salary of his
position was small one, he was con.
stantly Swallowed and tempted with offers
of large amounts of money. The agents
of Wall street think nothing of paying
$4,000 to $4,000 for information of a
financial nature that will enable them to
forestall some movement on the street.
These Offices Of trust in the department
are many, and as the average of them are
almost irresponsible in their management,
it is wonder that more clerks do not
succumb. The examples of those above
