ordered to sell stocks cautioned not to dis
pose Of large blocks. but to distribute the order
among their associates that tho burden might not

current in the street he has become possessed of
majority Of the outstanding bonds. which ut par
would DO worth more than 81 900 900. AS the road

San Francisco from the Arctic0cean on the Sth,
The Captain reports that when within twenty
five miles of Herald Island, on the Sd Of Sep
tember, he saw the smoke Of a steamer sup
posed to be the Arctic exploring ship Jean
nette. Thinks the Jeanette will reach land,
and we may expect to hear from her next
year.
As A freight train was crossing the
st. Charles bridge over the Missouri River on
the night of the Sth, going east, the west
span Of the main structure suddenly gave
way, precipitating seventeen cars Of
live stock and the caboose into the
abyss. Josiah Wearen, wealthy stock
raiser and Vice President of the First Nation
al Bank of Malvern, Iowa, Mr.. Hyde, friend
of Wearen, and George and Joseph Barnhart
brakemen, were killed. John Summer, a stock
drover, had his leg broken in two places,
and Charles Irwin, a brakeman, was 80
terribly mangled that he died on
the following day. The cause of the accident
is not known, but Q. Mallersmlth of the Balti-
more Bridge Company, under whose personal
supervision the bridge was constructed, thinks
It was occasioned by truck or car leaving the
track. Another theory is that the bridge was
struck by lightning a very heavy storm hav-
ing prevailed about an hour before the disas-
