SAD ACCIDENT.
A Train Falls Into the Water...Three
Persons Missing.

DETROIT, Sept. 81. While the passenger
train on the Canada Southern r. X. was being
transferred across the river from Amherst
bug to Grasse Isle, the transfer boat was run
with such force against the dock at the Island,
as to throw the sleeper overheard. The fow-
lard trucks of the passenger Immediately
behind it went over the end of the boat but
the coupling with the car behind did not
break, and the car hung over the edge OF
the boat at an angle of 45 degrees. The
sleeper, which had fallen into the water, rose,
turned over on its side, its trucks having
gone to the bottom. All was confusion, the
passengers in the sleeper chung to the side
that was out of water and tried to break the
windows and cried piteously for help. The
sixty or seventy others in the passenger
coach behind were panic stricken, and rushed
|pell nell for the end of the car farthest away
from the water. Some of the passengers and
train men clambered on top of the floating
sleeper, and broke open the windows and
pulled out the dripping occupants. When
all in sight had been rescued, it was found
that of the fourteen passengers in the sleeper,
three were missing. The darkness of the
might, the confusion and the fact that nearly
all the passengers were strangers to each
other, make it possible that all were res
|cued, but the painful uncertainty as to
whether there are not several persons
drowned.

Garficld's Last Resting Place.

Correspondence Of n. Y. Times.
Lake View Cemetery, in which the late
President desired that his body should rest
after death. is three miles from the shore OF
Lake Erie, and the blue waters can be seen
from many parts of it, The land was set
aside for a cemetery only few years ago,
but the improved portions are rapidly en-
croaching upon the natural wilderness. The
topography of the tract is admirably fitted 70
display the skill of the landscape gardener,
the face of the country being diversified by
knobs AMI hollows. bold eminenees, and
abrupt ravines
Soon after passing through the gate the|
visitor reaches a beautiful artificial lake and
sees beyond il the little hill. on the summit
Of which the late President will rest. Al
more suitable and charming spot could mott
have been found. Standing upon the crest id
is seen that the knoll is pear shaped, with the|
base of the pear lying towards the lake and|
city. whose spires rise above the trees in the|
distance. The crest is almost bare. There|
are few small evergreens and white barked|
birches growing upon it, and below the sum-
nit are sumac bushes and young chestnuts]
and elms. The grass. already burned by the
sun. has been trodden and ground to POWDER
by hundreds of feet. Upon the northwest
side the decent to the shore Of the little lake|
is gradual but on the west there lies al
deep ravine. through which a brook babbles.
Beyond the ravine is a natural forest. Upon|
the shores Of the lake the avenues pass be-
tween lines of beautiful monuments. The|
scene from the summit of the knoll is mott
grand, but very pleasing. The country lying|
between the cemetery and Lake Erie is Al
succession of farms. A little to the left lies
Cleveland. Turning still further to the left
the eve rests upon the place where the late
Presideut was born. and where he received
his early education. Only few miles will
lie between his grave and the site of the lit-
tie log cabin in Orange where he was born
Near at hand will be the spot where he first
attended school, the seminary where he after
ward studied, the little college with which he
was connected as teacher, and where he
found the noble woman to whom the whole
world now extends sympathy. Not far away
Is Mentor. Directly northwest of the sum-
nit and hundred feet below sleeps the
placid little lake, with stately swans upon its
bosom. Near the shore of the lake, on the
right, stands monument of polished rose
granite. erected in memory of the late Presi-
dents uncle, Thomrs Garfield. who was kill
ed on railway soon after the inauguration
of his nephew.
The knoll where the body Of the Presi-
dent will be buried is the most choice site in
the cemetery. and il is said the Trustees had
been offered $4,000 for it In the future il
will be the Mecca of many pilgrimage.

time. The witness was closely questioned al
to many other points in the case.
Mrs Benjamin Claiborne, wife of the re-
spondent, testified: Benjamin was not Out

called him in the morning. She and Bcnja
min got up and found the mute sitting by the
stove with one boot on, looking wild. She

lengthy and will embrace several medical
witnesses.
