not receive one dollar Of money from
Marsh knouiag or suspecting that 1t
came from the proceeds Of the sale Of

and Mrs Bower entered into a mar
riage contract before they were mar
ried, by which each party retained
their individual property; and will
be greatly disappointed If time does
not show that Gen. Belknap suppos-
Ell the money that came 70 him from
Marsh WAS proceeds coming from his
wife's private means held by her be-
fore their marriage. Every person
who knows Gen. Belknap knows
that he is man Of method In busi-

the business transactions Of his life;
he has kept, methodicaIly, all Of his

the energetic and affable Sec
rotary Of the Senate, in which posi-
ton he Il now serving his third term.
Previous to entering upon the Secre-
taryship, Capt. Hull was assistant
Secretary for one term, so that bis
continued services have secured for
hiia an experience now almost In
valuable To the Senate, and to it,

Of business. The result IL seen In
the rapidity, accuracy and ease with
which all the records Of Senate pro-

therefore, that the Captain Is being

Shocking Railroad Disaster.

4 TRAIN BREAKS THROUGH BRIDGE
The Baltimore papers furnish the
particulars Of the appalling disaster
which occurred Monday night, about
twelve o'clock. on the Harper's Ferry
and Valley branch Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, at Narrow Passage
bridge. sixty-three miles southwest Of
Harper's Ferry BY which train CON-
prising eleven loaded cattle cars. five
freight cars and one passenger coach,
was wrecked Eleven lives were lost
and seven or eight persons wounded.
The train was precipitated through the
middle span Of wooden bridge ia
feet to the rocky bottom Of q. small
stream. The cars and their contents
Of nineteen human beings. l25 head Of
cattle, sheep. and hogs. were dashed to
pieces and piled up in shapeless mass.
10 which rafters. iron rails. machinery,
and mangled flesh and blood were mixed
10 inextFieable confusion. The scene
that ensued was indescribable. The
engine, tender and the passenger and
freight cars were piled in . wreck in
the creek, thirty or forty feet high
The shrieks Of the wounded and dying
we're fearful. while the bellowings Of
the dying cattle added to the horror
Of the catastrophe. The engineer, 7.
Donavin. Of Sandy Hook. Md. was
horribly mangled and killed instantly
Several Of the sleeping passengers
awoke no more in this world. while
none Of them escaped injury. The
news Of the disaster was commu6i-
Gated rapidly as possible to both Wood
stock and Edinburg. and a number Of
physicians and others Immediately went
out to the fatal bridge. It was discov-
cred that eight Of the passengers, the
engineer and two brakemen bad been
killed. and Eve Of the passengers and the
conductor and fireman wounded.
