FRIGHTENED SOLDIERS,
A Pittsburg Merchants Description OF the
Black Hussars.
New York SIM

New York sum-
Mr.. E. B. Godfrey. Of Godfrey &;
Clark, merchants at 270 Liberty street,
Pittsburg, quit that city on Saturday
evening. Attached to the train on which
he came was darkened car, in which,
he says, were huddled about thirty
members Of the Black Hussar Regiment,
who had escaped from the round-house
at Twenty. eighth street. Many were
the city slowed at every switch, and SOL
diers who were in hiding jumped on.
These men wore their pantaloons inside
out, and had thrown away everything
else except their shirts. They were in
great terror, Mr.. Godfrey says, expect
ing the train would be stopped by
rioters. One coward sat down by a
woman aud asked her to protect him.
She threw shawl over his head, and
he crouched down in a corner. At
Twenty-eighth street the train was
any of those Philadelphia men aboard?"
was asked. The conductor repliedsin
the negative. A gang of strikers passed
through the cars, but did not discover
the concealed soldiers. Reaching the
last car; which was dark and seemed
deserted, they were told that there were
few wounded men therein. They did
not attempt to enter. The train was
started again, but the soldiers were in
state Of wild terror. They expected to
be stopped by telegraph at Derry. Mr..
Godfrey thinks this was intended, for
large number Of strikers were gathered
there; but the train dashed through
without stopping. The same fear was
shown by the soldiers on the approach
to Youngstown, but the train was not
stopped. The soldiers were thoroughly
panic-stricken, Mr.. Godfrey says, and it
was not till Altoona was passed that
they became treasured.

The Wages of Their Employees Coming
Back to the Railroads.
TCinrfnunti Epruirnr

NEWARK, July 24.-"The' brakemen
got about dollar and quarter a day."
said one of the strikers. "This might
perhaps be enough for them to live on
barely live, IL they were always at home
and didn't have to buy their meals. As
it is, you see. they have to pay out
so much Of their wages for food at high
figures, that they can't possibly live
or support their families. Then, too,
one Of the worst features Of the case is
that on the Baltimore and Ohio Road,
where this thing began, all of this
money that the men pay out for grub
goes right back into the Golfers of the
company. The company, you see, owns
and runs the restaurants where the men
are obliged to get their meals. Why,
sir, the brakemen only have thirty five
cents day left after they pay their
board, and then they often have to lie
over day or two in 8 week, perhaps
more, before they get another train to
run back on"

THE WHAT IS 1T" AT SEA

Pail Mall Gazette, December 23.-
An extraordinary report appeared q
few days ago of an explosion and sud
den disappearance of an unknown YES
sci of Portland. \ still more extra
ordinary explanation of the matter is
given by n correspondent Of the" "DOr>
set County Chronicle, who states that
when on The lookout a. Portland Bill
on the morning when the alleged eX-
plosion occurred, he saw what at first
appeared a long, low. dismasted ship,
with short stumpy jury about
one mile south south west off Portland
She looked like vessel broken backed
rs her stem and stern were well out of
water, and something like smoke or
steam was rising up in midships. To
mis- surprise on locking through tcie-
scope, he saw it was "a monster fish,
with head and tail rising far 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 wnalc blowing. The
stumpy masts were immense long fms.
All at once with a 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
Captains COsens Gibbs and Mace, who
went out in the Commodore in search
of the crew or fragments of the suppos
ed vessel. They saw AN immense mon
ster of the deep" throwing up jets OF
water and making itself painfully con-
spicuous by its eccGntric proceedings.
This remarkable creature is evidently
not the SEA serpent, but something far
more interesting and disagreeable. In
deed it is impossible not to feel sorry
for the sea serpeat, whose charms are
entirely eclipsed by the Portland IN on.
