The "What Is Ito at Sea.

An extraordinary report appeared a
few days ago in the papers of an ex-
plosion and sudden disappearance of
an unknown vessel off Portland A
still more extraordinary explanation of
the matter Is given by correspondent
OF the Dorset County Chronicle, VINO
states that when on the lookout at
Portland Bill, on the morning when the
at first appeared long, low, dismasted
ship, with short, stumpy jury-masts,
about one mile south-southwesto off Port
land. She looked like vessel broken.
backed, as her stem and stern were well
ont of water, and something like smoke
or steam was rising up Ill midships.
To his surprise, on looking through a
telescope, he saw it was ga monster
fish, with head and tail rising high
above the swell of the sea, and the back
nearly down to the level of the water,
and what appeared at first to be smoke
or steam was large jets of water thrown
up like big whale blowi. y. The
stumpy masts were immense long fins.
All at once, with tremendous bound at
least thirty or forty feet high, and down
again almost like lightning, the huge
monster disappeared. This statement,
it is said, is confirmed by Capts. Cosens,
Gibbs and Mace, who went out in the
Commodore in search of the crew or
fragments of the supposed vessel. They
saw ian immense monster of the deep I"
throwing up jets of water and making
itself painfully conspicuous by its &C.
centric proceedings. This remarkable
creature is evidently not the sea serpent,
but something far more interesting and
disagreeable. Indeed, it is impossible
not to feel sorry for the sea-serpent,
whose charms are entirely eclipsed by
the Portland monster. Mall Ga

Fixing the RESPONSIBILITY.

Some important testimony bearing
upon the question of the cause of and
the responsibility for the breaking of
the Ashtabula bridge was given at the
Coroner's inquest. MIR. Joseph Tom
hnson, now OF Ottawa, Canada, formerly
in the employ of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern Railroad Company,
testified that he drafted the original
working plans of the bridge, and pro-
viding for extra strength to the main
braces upon which the greatest strain
must come. These braces were not con-
structed in accordance with the draw
ings, but were made considerably
lighter, and the cost thereby materially
lessened at the expense OF the strength
and safety of the bridge, as was subse-
quently made clear with awful distinct
ness. Mr.. Tomlinson testifies that he
protested earnestly against this serious
defect, but was overruled by Mr.. Stone,
who at that time had the management
of the road. Tomlinson again advised
the STRENGTHENING of the main braces
and his persistency in the matter led t'
the severance of his connection with thu
road.

Story of an Eye.Witness at Ashtabula

The following description of the scene
at Ashtabula, on the night of the rail
road disaster, is from an eyewitness,
who, az the moment of the crash, was at
the railroad station, having come across
the fatal bridge only short time before
the interrupted passage of " No, 8"
The wind was blowing so at the time
that the noise of the crash was not heard
at the station. The first alarm was some
ones shouting, No. 5's over the
bridget" Rushing ut once to the river,
the narrator was present just as the
wreck was beginning to burn. To bor-
row his own words: AS looked down
L couldn't see more than four or five
cars ut first, they were so buried under
each other. They had just started to
burn. The Socrates had stopped
about $50 feet from the edge, and as 1
came along the engineer said, Great
God, the train is over the bridge-all
but u.s. I rushed right down, and al
most the first one / met was the fireman.
He was walking about, and seemed
stunned and dazed. He said he was
cold, and wanted some one TO take care
of him. l carried him up the hill to the
switch shanty, aud then the cars were
all in blaze. The sky was all lighted
up, and the snow was just coming down
from the heavens in waves. You could
look right down in there and see them
writhing with the horrible agony, like
worms, and fighting the fire; and o,
that moaning II can't describe tit
was like long Oh-o--o-o in such a
fearful wall, the sound rising and
falling, and every once in while a
fearful shrek and desperate cry for
help. Women were swooning, and this
moaning cry kept up for-O, can't tell
how long, but it seemed a good while.
1t seemed to me that fifty people mus.
have passed me up the bank, some
climbing, and others being pulled or
carried up. 1t was burning for long
time in the night, but nothing could be
done. o, it was awful, and can't re-
member what did down there on the
ice, or how long it lasted. "-Ceveland
