coaches. most OF them Pullman sleepers.
When FIVE miles west of Owego, near
Tioga Centre, one of the driving wheels of
the locomotive broke close up to the
wheel, and the entire train, going at the
rate of 35 miles an hour, was thrown from
the track. The accident occurred where
there was no embankment. The engine
kept Its feet. the engineer applying the
air brake as soon as he felt the shock. and
the cars were stopped very quickly but the
forward ones were turned over aud over
two or three times. The engineer and
fireman escaped unhurt. The postal car
contained four clerks. and this ear almost
instantly took FIRE and burned like gun
powder. the oil lamps probably exploding
and adding fuel to the fire from the stove.
Every man in the car was roasted to q
crisp.

Henry G. Brewer of Elmira. Efforts were
made to relieve him and hole was cut in
the side door of the car SO that he got his
head out, but his legs were fastened
by the piled up mass of express matter.
The train men tried to pull him out. but
the flames drove them away. They saw
his hair and whiskers burned of. and
then he put his hand up to his eyes and
| fell back into the flames. Five men in all
were burned. No passengers injured.

ished very quickly. as not a sound came
from the wreck except the cracking

Consul Gginnell writes to the Department OF State
Under date of July IL, 1884, that the total number of

month of June amounted 10 1885, and the aggregate

lays down rule to be strictly observed hence
forth, that the accounting officers of the Treasury
not to be bound by the certificates of the judges
as to the accuracy of the accounts for fees rendered
by the marshals etc. but to determine for them
selves whether the compensation claimed is war
ranted by law. aud the issuing of the Wits OF
subpoena charged for was really necessary
The Controller holds that, where witnesses VINO
are subpenaed to testify in behalf Of the united
States live in the same locality or direction OF
travel from the court it is the duty of the clerk to
include the names of all of them in one subpoena
and whether he does or not he can receive pay
only for one subpoena in such case, aud the marshal
can receive his mileage for only one service no
matter how many separate writs the clerk has
issued.
Attorney General Devens gave opinion in
October 1873 that if the clerk issues in such
separate writs for all the witnesses, the marshal
entitled to separate mileage for the service of each
writ. Judge Lawrence regards this opinion
and given without reference TO the object
provisions of section S7 of the Revised Statutes.
AS the laws stand, Judge Lawrence says the liability
of the United States as to mileage of marshals is
less than that of private sutors in of plural
ity of witnesses the Government being chargeabe
with only one mileage in the circumstances sup
posed, and the private sutor to two mileages.
