FrightruI Railroad Accident.

A serious accident occurred on the
Michigan Central Railroad q short dis
tance east Of the Junction. Saturday =
Pacific Express train, which left Detroit
forty minutes late, collided with a
switch engine on the maiu track at that
place. The baggage aud express cars
were telescOped, and the remaining
coaches, eleven in number, were piled
on top of the others. The first coach
was filled with emigrants; most OF them
were killed or seriously injured. Many
occupants OF the other coaches were
killed or injured. Fourteen passengers
were killed and thirty one injured. The
wounded are all doing we'll and no more
deaths nro likely to result. The best OF
care is being bestowed upon them by
the railway company. An Investigation
before the Coroner's Jury, composed of
leading citizens OF Jackson, WAS in pro-
gress Saturday taking the evidence Of
railway officials and employees. 1t
seems from their te testimony that Colwell,
the yard master. Sawyer the switch
man, and Jones, the engineer of the
switch engine. arc all nike responsible,
and that all were guilty Of both judg-
ment and the violation OF the rules of
the company.

TIE detectives engaged in searching
for Alsup who jumped from the ship
Valparaiso as she was entering tho San
Francisco harbor on Tuesday night,
have thus far found no clue indicating
that he succeeded in making the shore.
II thought now thnt there was more
method in his rash act than was at first
supposed. Alsup is known to have
been an expert swimmer, and il now
appears that after he was missing q sail
makers bench and paddle belonging
to the vessel were also found to have
disappeared. The detectives generally
express the opinion that he could not
have made the shore, and the pilot Of
the Valparaiso belives that no man
could have lived in the chopping sea
that prevailed at the time when Alsup
took TO the wnter. But as he had nn
opportunity to communicate by letter,
forwarded by the steamer, with friends
in this city after his arrest and before
he left Callao. it is thought possible
that he may have had assistance from
this city il his escape, and that boat
may have been stationed ready to pick
him up when he left the ship.
Whether or not there is any truth in
this theory, his expected arrival in San
Francisco on the Valparaiso was GER
tainly known by others beside the po-
lice authorities, and on the morning
after the Valparaiso entered this port,
and before the fact of Alsup's escape
had been published or was generally
known, several persons called at the
police Office aud inquired if ho was in
the city prison.

its soaring ambition can only be satiated

A Ll.,ls ExperIe.e..

Quite an ainusins episode varied the
usual monotouy Of things at Boca one
evening last week. That ev, .,. the
overland passenger train r-r,re sas.
carried Haverley's MAstodon .linstIel
Troupe, among the members OF which
was Kenney, the noted ventriloquist.
The trnin arrived al Boca little before
one O'Clock IN the night. and was side.
tracked to await the arrival Of the west
bound train. Adjacent TO the side
track is the ice.house of the Boca Com
pany. Suddenly, from the neighbor-
hood Of the ice.hoose, waa heard
groans, as il some one was in distress,
and cries for assistance. In a feW min.
utes the engineer from the train, tho
d. watchmHn at Boca. and several
others. with lanterns. were actively
searching for the person supposed to
be In jeopardy. Their search was un-
avsiling. although the hesrt-rendinv
cries continued TO be heard. Tho
trouble was 10 locate them exactly.
First they were heard in certain di-
rection. and when the scarchers would
arrive ct that point they would hear
them again but in a different direction.
The eager, anxious and almost diatract-
ed searchers hurried from place to
place, eager to atfored succor. At last
some charitable member Of the troupe
was heard to say. loud enough for all
to heart THAT Kennedy carries his
jokes too far som metimes." The search
wns suddenly discontinued, the engi-
neer hurried to his engine. the witch.
man resumed his duties and the others
quietly hied themselves away to their
respective stations. and the groans and
cries were henrd no more. A certain
