New YORK. october ga decision was
rendered to-day in the United States Cir
cult Court by Chiei-Justice Waite in the
matter OF the collision between the steamer
Adriatic, OF the White Star Line, and the
British bark Harvest Queen, which occur
red on the night OF the lst OF January,
1875, the amount involved in the suit being
100000. The appeal came up on an APP
peal from the District Court. The Chief
Justice dismissed the libel brought against
the Adriatic, with costs in both courts. He
bases bis decision entirely on the ground
that on the case as it stood the steamer was
free from blame.
Robert Stewart, plumber, with gang
of rougbs, raised a row in the saloon OF
John Brueck, in Brooklyn, this morning,
and threatened the life OF the proprietor

Forest Fires.

NORFOLK, October 3.-Forest fires are
raging tiercely in this vicinity, destroying
farm-houses, barns, and farm property.
Many OF the roads are impossible on ac-
count of the flames. The loss cannot be
estimated. nor can it be known how much
damage will be done, as the wind has been
blowing strong for the past twenty-four
hours. There is no indication OF rain, and
the damage to the surrounding country
will be very heavy.

WELDON, n. c., October 3.-The through
freight train ran over and killed William
Thompson, aged twenty-tbree, ut Mount
Olive, n. c., last night. He was noted for
his agility, and it was his habit to jump
across the track between cars as the train
slowed away from the station. Last night
the train was running rather faster than
usual, and Mr.. Thompson, in making his
leap, was thrown under the cars and man.

THE GRAND STAND AT A MICHIGAN FAIR
GROUND FALLS.
DETROIT, MICH, October Am Adri-
an. Mich. special to the Detroit Post and
Tribune gives particulars OF an accident
that occurred at the County FAIRGROUNDS
in that city this afternoon. About two
thousand people had assembled on the
newly-erected grand stand 10 witness the
races. The centre OF the stand gave way
with crash. The front part fell outward
and the back fell into the river, precipi-
tating the mass of people among the ruins.
Work was at once commenced TO eXtricate
the dead and wounded, and the Opera
House was opened and many OF the dead
and wounded as fast as eXtricated were
conveyed there.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
DETROIT, Mich, October 3.-Advices
from Adrian give the total number OF per-
sons killed and since died from injuries re-
ceived in the accident at the Fuir-GroundS
Yesterday at sixteen. Seventy-6ve more are
severely injured; some OF them cannot re-
cover. The architect Of the grand-stand is
blamed for the casualty. The structure
was built unusually light, so as to admit
space underneath for the exhibition of car
riages, wagons, &c. The timbers were
simply spiked instead Of morticed and
braced.
