NEWPORT II. l., Oct 2.--Mr. Bancroft, who was
injured yesterday by q runaway horse, passed
comfortable night and day. He was able to read
this morning and to dictate several letters No
bones are broken. His physicians state that he has
no unfavorabe symptoms. The wounds on the
head have begun to heal nicely. Mr.. BancrOfts
body is considerably bruised.
The particulars of the sad accident appear to be
as follows The historian drove out with pair of
horses in Victoria carriage, having with him a
lady and n footman. After a long drive ne pro-
ceeded to return by the road leading past the
eryoir of the water works. Here the road is ex-
ceedingly uneven and il caused the carriage to
Jolt considerably. and make strange noises. This
frightened the horses and they reared and broke or
nnhitched a trace, which IN turn made them much
more violent They dashed off at a frightful rate.
Mr. Bancroft held the rens with great tenacity, and
il appeared as If he would escape from any danger,
but the horses came to a road running at
right angles and they turned into this
and threw the occupants of the carriage
ont upon the ground. The lady and
tootman were uninjured, but when they
went TO Mr.. Bancroft they found the blood flowing
profusely from an ugly wound on the left side of
his head. No attention was paid TO the horses,
which ran on. making the carriage complete

sf THE FISHERY DISPATCH TO LONDON.
THE DELAY on THE PART OF MR.. EvARTs DUE II
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRmusE.I


WASHINGTON, Oct. with regard to the
delay in preparing and forwarding the dispatches
abont the fishery award for which the Secretary of
State has recently been criticized, it is learned that
in making up his case Mr.. Evarts considered it es-
sentia to have additional and recent statistics as
TO the benefit of the fisheries of the United States,
in order to bring forward convincing support Of the
declarations made. At the request of Mr. Evarts,
Secretary Sherman sent instructions to certain
officers of the department to obtain information
from the fishing feet showing the catch of the
present season. This naturally consumed time. but
TIE Tesust constitutes a valuable part of the CORE
spOHdoGce.
Moreover il is said that the British Ministry
having been absent from London upon the usual
Summer vacation, the dispatches could not have
received attention if they had been forwarded
earlier.
The correspondence will now reach London by Oc-
tober 10. Allowing thirty days for an answer, there
will still he thirteen days before the expiration of
tde lime within which the award must be paid.
Should no answer be received by that time the
money will be paid.
