The Marriage of Frederick W. Wander.

A New York telegram SAYS Frederick
W. Vanderbilt, youngest son of William
H., and favorito grandson, it is said, OF
his grandfather, the Commodore, who
left the young man 100000 III his
own right, has married clandesuaely
the divorced wife of his fathers sisters
son--in other words, of his first cousin
Alfred Terrence. This lady is a
handsome blonde, who has always been
agreat favorite in New York fashionable
society. She is daughter of the late
Charles l.. Anthony, prominent and
wealthy merchant III his day, and,
though she is about 80 or 80 years of
age, still looks remarkably Young. The
bridegroom, who inherited apparently
from his grandfather the capacity for
doing ~ no pleases, has only recently
reached his majority. and the 81, O0O,00O
the Commodore left him. He looks
somewhat older than he is, and is called
an enterprising young man, Daniel
florence married the elder SISTER of
William II. Vanderbilt, and at one time
probably considered himself the rival
of the Commodore, his father-in-aN, in
railroad management. For several
years he was President of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad, and one of the
Vice Presidents of the New York Cen
trail. HiSson, Arthur florence, married
the heroine of this love affair, Louise
II. Anthony. He was n Wall street
broker, and was not 1t is alleged, suf-
hcently prosperous to support his gay
and handsome wife rs she would have
liked. lncompatibiity of temper is
said to have been the principal obstacle
i'll the way of happiness. AS long ago
as September, 1877, she applied in the
courts of Rhode Island Tor divorce,
and her husband made no effort to de-
tend the suit. Within month divorce
was obtained. Arthur Terrence Joined
his father and mother in a European
tour, and, it is said, has not since met
his former wife, who Is now his first
cousin by marriage. Frederick w. Van.
derbilt married this lady, who has
assumed her maiden name after secur-
ing II divorce, ON Dec. Il, il is asserted,
IN private parior Of the Windsor Ho-
tel, where the clerks are ignorant Of the
fact that such an Interesting ceremony
took place on that day. The name Of
the officiating clergyman has been
carefully withheld. Notice of marriage,
it is believed, was published at the time
in an obscure religious weekly paper,
but Murray Hill society was only gen
orally informed of the fact when no.
tice appeared three or four days ago.
The son kept his father ignorant of his
marriage until six or eight days ago.
He was an almost regular inmatc of his
fathers mansion while his wife was liv-
ing with n friend en- Murray Hill. Viii
liam II. Vanderbilt is reported to have
said something Involving the idea that
" 1t was easier TO manage three railroads
than one infatuated son." when the
secret reached his ears, and to have
shown his displeasure in II strong and
decided way. 1t is understood that the
"happy pair are debarred from the
parental mansion and deprived Of the
parental blessing.

half regiments of infantry, two regiments of
cavalry and eight guns, and succeeded in cap
turing the hill and driving the Afghans from
all their positions.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA London cable
special says: The gravity of the Cabul news is
acknowledged Nobody believes the official
accounts TO be complete. The ministerial or
gans admit mishap and that the British hold
on Cabul is jeopardized, and warn the govern

ton. The Liberal journals frankly say that
Gen. Roberts is fighting for life, his whole
force of 5000 men being ptted against the en-
tire Afghan army, admitted to be 10000 strong.
The tribes are rising on every side. The
Konistans, lately reported as surrendering
their arms, send 5000 troops, and what Lord
Lytton called "hostile Ghuzenee gathering"

tary critics agree that the Afghan movements
show surprising strategic ability. Neverthe-
less it is believed that Gen. Roberts is likely
to overcome the present attack as he holds
strongly fortified positions about Cabuf, but
unless he is victorious an instruction in Cabul
is certain.
Candahar is also threatened by 1000 troops
advancing from Herat. The Candarees are

was the evidence of the revival Of the business
of the country on a permanent, firm and sub

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

A Train Thrown from the Track on the
Addison Railroad and Three Persons
Killed.
RUTLAND, Dec 13.-An accident occurred on
the Addison railroad at Larrabee's Point, VT,
on the Lake Champlain shore this evening,
causing the death of the engineer, fireman and
bridge tender. The train left Rutland this af-
ternoon for Ticonderoga, N. Y, and was
wrecked just before reaching the bridge across
the lake.
RUTLAND, Dec. 1.-THE scene of the last
nights accident on the Addison railroad was a
short curve 100 rods from the east end of the
lake bridge at Larrabee's Point. The shock
caused by the locomotive striking the curve, it
is supposed, carried completely away sixty feet
Horner that the locomotive climbed the track,
causing the accident The locomotive rolled
down q clay embankment of about fifty feet,
turning over about three times The tender
was separated from the engine and lodged bot
tom side up with trucks broken off The train
was mixed freight and passenger. Two of
the three freight cars followed the locomotive
down the embankment but were not material
ly damaged. One freight and the passenger
car remained on the track. None of the occu-
pants of the latter were injured, A wrecking
train went to the scene last Knight and rec
overed the bodies of the dead. Stimson was
found in the ruins of his cab badly mangled,
his head being crushed fiat. Lyman's body was
found with Stimson's, while Markhams body
was found lying half way up the bank consid-
erably crushed and scalded, the locomotive
having gone over him in its first revolution.
Engineer Stimson and fireman Markham lived
at Leicester Junction, the latter with his par
snts. Stmson leaves wife. Lyman leaves a
family. He had charge of the draw bridge
across the lake and had been to Rutland for
suppliea. After riding in the passenger car to
Prowell, the last station before the accident, he
got on the locomotive to be at his post when
the train reached the draw bridge. A second
train went from Butland today and repaired
and cleared the track ready for passenger
trains Monday
