FEARFUL RAILROAD HOLOCAUST.
BANGOR, Ae., Nov. ia special from
Carleton. N. B., says the New Brunswick
railway cars ran off the track near Lawrence
vile last night. A passenger car containing
twenty passengers took fire and was burned,
and hr. Parker, of Fort Fairfield, killed. A
Child was burned and seventy-fve persons
injured. Parker is supposed to mean Hack
er. Other dispatches state that Nathan Per
ry, of Presque Isie former proprietor of the
Hatch House, this city, was killed and
burned.
A passenger gives the following account:
The train was going at moderate rate of
speed. When we reached Peel, suddenly
there was shock. The train had jumped
the track, and we found that the passenger
car was rolling down one of the worst en-
bankments on the line. The car had almost
reached the waters edge when it was discov-
cred that it had caught fire. The flames
spread rapidly, men took OF their coats and
tried to extinguish the FIRE, but without avail.
The flames had complete possession, and
leaped from seat to seat, rendering the pas
sengers almost frantic with fear. The cloth
ing of those aboard soon caught fire, and as
the people rushed from one part of the car
to another in burning garments, the scene
was most terrible. The little boy who
burned to death had managed to keep clear
of the fire long after the clothing of many
other passengers had caught, but in his
anxiety for the safety of some of his friends,
rushed into the flames and persisted.

land d. Ogdensburg mail train was thrown

THE STEWART STIFF.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The New York Do

reports published this morning that they
know where the body of A. L. Stewart is
hidden and that the detectives are shadowing
the thieves. Judge Hilton was at police head
quarters this morning, but refused to answer
any questions, with the manner of a man who
thought himself having been imposed upon.

strong suspicious of some persons and are
watching them in the hope of discovering the

them.
