 A special dispatch to the New York BUe1s- ing Post yesterday from Richmond, Va, says: Thomas A. Marvin, alias General Mor- ton, the man who is charged with possessing thirteen wives and being wanted in half the States in the Union for crimes, was arraigned before the police court this morning. The charge preferred was larceny of six hundred dollars from the First National bank here He appeared in court some time before its formal opening.
 Marvin presented the appearance of 8 de- crepit, bowed old man of seventy. He wore no beard, and his dress was shabby, collar limp and soiled, and his hands and limbs ap- peared partly palsied. The prisoner looks anything but a dashing old rake who has won the hearts of dozen women.
 He talked more freely than he did yester- day. Before his arraignment he conversed with several people in the private office of the justice. Among those who looked in to see him was Isaac Davenport, jr., president of the First National bank, where Marvin got one of his forged checks cashed. Dr. Men. | nioerode pastor of St. Paups Episcopal \ church, who performed the marriage cere | mony between Marvin and his last victim \ Miss Louise Turpin, was also in court.

An Engineers Race for Life.


 At Pantano Wednesday afternoon the brakes of fiat car loaded with ties became loosensd in some inexpicable manner and the car began to move down the steep grade toward Cienega. A bystander jumped aboard and endeavored to tighten the brakes. He, however, found them unmanageable. Another tried and failed. A regular brakeman then boarded the car and quickly discovered that the brakes were out of order. The car by that time had increased its speed to fully twenty miles an hour, and to remain upon it would be almost sure death when the first washout was reached. He therefore called to the other two men on the car to jump and this they did. Engineer Frank Shaw at this time was sitting on his engine at Pantano and attached to his locomotive was a car filled with chinamen. He at once realized the ter rible result if this runaway flat car was allow ed to proceed unchecked on it's way, for score or more of laborers were engaged far down a deep gulch in the Cienega Pass strengthening the braces of broken bridge that spanned it. They would not be able to hear the approaching car and 1t would soon crash through the weakened timbers and probably crush many beneath it's weight. As these thoughts flashed through his mind he pulled wide open the throttie-valve and start ed in pursuit of the fast-receding car. = It was a race for life and Shaw was soon laundering down the track at sixty miles an hour, with the carload of terrified chinamen behind him. The flat car ahead was increasing in speed at every turn of the wheels and the | grade there is very steep. The locomotive, however, kept gaining and finally Shaw, placing the lever in charge of his fireman, | crawled to the cow-catcher, and taking the heavy coupling rod in his hand stood in that perilous position until the was reached | The chasm where the men were working came in sight and still the fugitive car was two hundred yards away. He called to his fire man to open wider the valve and the laboring l engine made lurch that showed she had \ felt the increased volume of steam. They | sped on with lightning rapidity. The space between them gradually lessened. Shaw stood with the rod in one hand and the coup | ling pin in the other. Finally the few feet disappeared, and with & dexterity that comes | from practice and cool brain the coupling l was made. The locomotive was reversed and | the train came to a standstill within fifty feet of the bridge. This is the way one man l saved many lives.
