TERROR AND suspEHsE.
PROVIDENCE, RI, October 6.-The Off.
GERS OF the Massachusetts remain on or near
thestranded steamer. The passengers, how
ever, agree pretty well upon the following
story: =. = sF:, ....ss 81. . .. 2.
The Massachusetts left New York at 5
o'clock Thursday afternoon, with $50 pas
sengers and large freight. The day was
stormy. The violence OF the storm increased
al the boat went down the Sound. By IL
O'Clock terrible gale was blowing. TWAS
reported that the captain said he had losthis
lights. The fog was so thick that nothing
could be seen, and the whistle was blowing
necessarily About 1880 the engines were
stopped few minutes. Then the boat went
ahead slowly for few minutes, when the
engine stopped. In bali minute more
there was terrible crash, quickly followed
by two more. Some OF the passengers were
thrown from their berths by the shocks aud
terribly frightened. People poured out the
.tate-rooms. In few minutes almost
every passenger had on life-preseryer
and was waiting ,ipr the worst. 1t
was so dark that absolutely nothing
could be seen. The wind"howled so that
conversation was almost inaudible, while
above all was the incessant thumpan sound
OF heavy grindings, which all knew was eat-
ing out the bottom of the boat. The gliding
on the state-rooms began to fall down, and
in some OF the state-rooms the berths even
fell to the floor, so much was the boat
strained. The rolls which held the chande-
lier in the main saloon had snapped like
pipe-stems, and pieces Of the side Of the
boat bad been broken away. The water was
rising in the forecastle, and the deck-hands
were set to work to Tighten the boat. Over
board went cotton, flour, whiskey, and
sugar, until at least half the cargo was in
the sea. The other half was kept in to
baiance the boat. Thus the night wore
away; audit was night which the passen-

The TURKS REPULsEb--To0K TO FLIGHT
London, October 6.-The Daily Neeos's cor
respondent with General Mehkotf's army,
telegraphing from Rosechcns under date OF
Thursday, says: "At o'clock this after.
noon the Russians were surrounding Kill
Jepe, when Mukhtar Pasha, desperate at
seeing his communications with Kars threat
ened, advanced against our centre with
twenty battalions. The Turks were re-
.ceived with crushing artillery fire. The
Russian Firailleuse drove, them back, pur-
suing them to Soubatan till nightfall. The
Turks were utterly demoralized, and every
where took to flight. Tomorrow friday a
great battle is expected along the whole
front, when we hope to cut Mukhtar's COM
munications and render his position hope
less. Our losses are unknown, but one OF
two thousand are reported missing"

The residents Of Barnstable. England,
recently witnessed avery brave and humane
act. Charles jones, hod-carrier, while
ascending with heavy load OF mortar a

which was being repaired, when near the
Top OF the ladder suddenly stopped.

Tor the mortar, saw that Jones was faintins,

IN tit and about to fall. Cross
placed himself back OF Jones, and
held to the ladder tightly. The sick man
struggled violently to free himself, and in
Ills paroxysm bit Cross's arm, who notwith-
standing maintained his grip. The struggle
went on for fifteen minutes, noue OF the ex-
cited populace below daring to ascend the
ladder. at last William Richards, driver OF

OF the mason. Soon afterward fre-escape

WHAT Has BEEN AND WHAT IS PROPOSED
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF JAMES RIVER, THE
AppoMATToX, NEW RIVER, AND GREAT KAMA
VIVA RIVER, BY MAJOR CRAIGHILL.-The
following are extracts from the annual re-
port of Major Craighill:
Improvement of the James RiUer, Pir-
qinia.-For want OF funds work OH this
Improvement was suspended in March,
1916, and not resumed until the middle OF
September, 1876, when a portion ga ,00O OF
the appropriation Of August, 1876, ($16, 000,)
became available. The operations have
been chiefly confined to the channel from
the Brewery to Almond creek and the
channel through Goodies rocks, Of which
the former has received width OF one
hundred feet and depth Of fifteen feet at
mean low water, and the latter an equal
width with depth OF thirteen feet, much
the larger portion being fifteen feet. Wing
dams have also been used to limited eX-
tent at the bars near the city OF Richmond
for the purpose OF contracting the river to
q width OF about six hundred feet. '.!:''
The results thus far are satisfactory,
showing an increased depth. 1t is estima-
ted that it requires now the removal Of but
$4,000 cubic yards Of sand and gravel to
Give channel 100 feet wide and 12a deep
at mean low water from Rockets reef to
Hampton Roads,, which is equivalent to Is
feet at high water. The amount available
for this work is. $16,902.02. The amount
estimated for the completion OF the exist
ing project OF improvement is S25S,024, and
the amount that can be probably expended
during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1879,
is S150,000. -, $500. 81,
Improvement Of the Appomatto1 Riuer,
Va.-The amount available for this work is
S15,571.09. The amount estimated for the
completion of the existing projects OF inn
provement is $4,000 The amount that can
be proftably expended during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1879, is $4,000.
Improvement Of the Great KdnaDha River,
W. Vd.-Owing to the continued heavy
freshets the working season was reduced to
few days comparatively. The negotia-
tons for the acquisition Of sites near Paint
creek, where are to be located Lock and
Dam No. 3, are still pending. The amount
available for this improvement is S422,-
318.17. The amount estimated for the CON-
pletion OF the existing project of improve
ment is $3,5S2, 900. The amount that can
be pro6tably expended during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1879, is S50O,000.
Improvement of the Neuo river from the
lead mines in .Wythe county, "a, to the
mouth of the Green6rier Tiuer, West Vir-
qinia. The amount available for this work
is $14,921.75; the amount estimated for
completion Of existing projects OF improve
ment is SS5,000; the amount that can be
protitably expended during fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1879, is $50, Washington

DoLLARs--Two crsTHE OPERATORS 'pUT uN.
DER ARREST. - y s ~ - = ~ i
The New York Sun says:
Detective r. "A. Pinkerton and his assist
ants have been for two months trying to
hunt down the chief Of gang OF check
raisers and forgers, who have, been ope-
rating successfully In various parts OF the
country for over year, and who have Sc
lccted banks and express companies almost
entirely 10 swindle. Their plan was SIM
pie but very complete, and failure was
almost impossible. They worked in cou-
pies One would 60 to a bank and pur-
chase draft on New York for large
amount, usually about $1,000. Later,
he would purchase a draft for q very
small amount, seldom over $40. The
two drafts were then given to the "raiser,"
who did the most skiliul work the officers
have ever seen. and who is supposed to be
William Fl. Lyman. In short time the
small draft was "raised" to be the dupli-
cate OF the large one in every particular OF
numbers, amounts, &c. Next, one OF the
operators would 90 to another place with
the g raised" draft and send it to New
this city himself and have it cashed through
some respectable person. Immediately after
he got the money he would telegraph words
previously agreed on 10 his confederate in the
place where the drafts were purchased. The
latter would go at once to the bank, and,
presenting the raised draft, ask that the
money be refunded, giving some excuse for
not using it-ether that he could not be
identified in the New York bank, and so
could not collect it, or that the business be
wanted it for had not been consummated, or
something Of the sort. The bank officials
would recognize him as the man who had
purchased the large draft and give him back
the money. OF course he would quickly
quit the place, never to be seen in it again.
When in the due course OF ordinary bust
ness the other draft was sent back from the
New York to the country bank the forgery
was discovered. :. @..
The swindle has been so successful that
the gang have realized over $4,000 BY it,
and it is probable that as new discoveries are
made the estimate will be increased to
much larger amount. If they had not used
the express companies they probably could
have continued for a longer time at work.
When q collection was made directly
in bank that was the end Of 1t.
The bank officers argued that it would
cost more to pursue the fugitives than the
amount they were swindled out Of, and so
quietly submitted to the loss; but the ex-
press companies had been bitten once or
twice before they determined to spend all
the money that was necessary to break up
the gang and secure the chief.
The American Express Company there
upon engaged Detective Plnkerton to pros
ecllte the search and. after unremitting Ia
Dor, he has brought it TO successful close.
