STAR ENGAGEMENT.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-Star documents
allows a fraud of $450,000 against the
government. One of the counsel of the
government is preparing papers against
Dorsey and other government officers and
prosecution will be diligent against them.
District Attorney Blass says nobody con
nected with star route frauds shall escape
except by turning States evidence.
Warrants were issued for all the con-
spirators named in the document to-day
except Brady.
This unusual step is necessary because
of statute of limitations. The information
declares that on the first of October 1878,
Thos. J. Brady, second assistant postmas-
ter, John L. French, chief clerk, VIM. II.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT,

DETROIT, Sept. 30,-An accident on the
Great Western railway between Aylmen
and Oswe1 was reported yesterday. Il
appears to have been worse than indica
ted by the first reports and altogether
unaccOuntable.
Conductor Maxwell of an excursion
train had orders to meet the freight train
at Aylmen but run ten minutes ahead OF
time. Maxwell wanted to meet the freight
at Oswen. Engineer Lattea saw the excur
sion train approaching Stacked off and
whistled for several minutes and had his
train almost to stand. The engineer OF
the excursion train kept forging ahead
regardless of the freight which he must
have seen for more than two miles and
never blew the whistle or gave the slight
est Indication that the road was not clear
He kept ON at full speed, and COLI
ded with the locomotive with the freight
Five of ten excursion coaches were tele
scoped, and a great many slightly. The
names as far as can be ascertained are
William Cooke, Aylmer; Walmsley and
son, st. Thomas; J. Hines, jackson; a man
from Delhi, name unknown, and E. Stan
ley, of Copeland.
The rescuing party had not reached one
car, and it was feared that more bodies
will be found there. The damage to the
road is heavy, six coaches, two engine:
and several freight cars being ditched
Conductor Maxwell takes all blame, bu
has fled. The other conductors action /!
unexplainable as he is dead.

Dunn went to the relief of Willie and
took him from the house and started for
home. The McDonalds followed them and
attacked them again on the street. Willie
was knocked down and then stabbed sever
al times Norman received several severe
knife wounds in the face and side. Willie
died within few moments after receiving
his wounds, and Norman cannot live. The
McDOnalds were promptly arreste by
Sheriff Barclay and lodged in the county
Jail.
About 10 o'clock last night mob of
over 500 people, composed mostly of
Frenchmen, Indians, and alf-breeds, ap-
preached the jail, overpowered the sheriff
and guard, and with heavy timbers, sledge-
hammers and axes broke open the door of
the Jail and of the cell where the McDon
aids were lodged. The prisoners were pull
ed out of the cell and long ropes fastened
to their necks and they were then dragged
by the mob mercilessly through the street
for quarters of a miles to the house
where the row originated, where their
bodies were suspended to a tree. The vic
TINS were dead, however, long before their
bodies were hung up. The house above
mentioned was then set on fire, ahd burn
ed to the ground. The two bodies were
left suspended to the tree until this morn
