The Kearsarge and the Yellow Fever.
Yesterdays Boston Post contained a state
ment to the effect that information had been
received by the officers of the Brooklyn navy
yard that yellow fever had made its appear
ance on board the o. S. corvette Kearsarge,
Commander Henry L. Pickens, during her
cruise in the vicinity of St. Thomas. This re-
port, we are happy to say, is incorrect, as will
be seen from the following extract from let
ter from Commander Pickens to a gentleman
in this city:
II was unfortunately ordered to that infer
nal pest hole, St. Thomas They had some
Two weeks previous to my cruise few cases
OF yellow fever L took all necessary precau-
ton to prevent the disease coming on board,
and did not permit the officers to visit the
shore during the daytime. I also took coal
and sailed away to Barbados. Imagine my
surprise at being quarantined at Barbados.
Confound theml My ship was perfectly
healthy, but that made no difference. The
flagship Tennessee was there, but they could
render no assistance and the Admiral conclud-
ed to give us other orders. Our original cruise
was st. Thomas, Barbados, Trinidad, st.
vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique and then ia
maica-all pleasant places. Now instead we
nave been to Cumana, La Guayra and this
place [Curacao]. AT La Guayra we were
quarantined and as they required us to remain
three miles to leeward of the port, place of
no anchorage, came over here. Curacao.]

night because had not been two weeks from

to sail from here wi h clean bill of health.

THE WELLS CASE.
Information Filed by the Com mittee
Yesterday.

The information in the Wells matter was
filed yesterday afternoon by the committee of
the Bar appointed for that purpose, in accord
ance with the act of 1879, and contains state
ment of the facts necessary to an understand
ing OF the charges and the following s ecifica-
tions of reasons for disbarrng:
L. That Mr.. Wells, having receiv ed from
one Fred Farrow of Boston, on Jan. 90, 1880,
MS non-negotiable promissory note, di d, be-
tween March 10th and 18th, 1880, procure from
SAID Farrow his negotiable promissory note,
dated as OF Jan. %. 1880, of like tenor for the
purpose OF producing the same at his examin-
alton before the Insolvency Court, and will
tuily and falsely testifying that it was the note
received by him Jan. %, 1880, and did so pro-
duce the same at said examination, and So
wlllfully and falsely testify, knowing his testi
mony to be untrue and believi ne it to be ma
terlal, and with the intent to misead and de :.
ceiye.
2. That he testified at said examination
that he had a written agreement from Farrow
as to his right to indorse the proceeds of the
mortgaged property on the mortga ge note
and afterwards procured writing from Far
row to that effect, with intent to use it in the
suits between himself and the assignee, and
between the assignee and Farrow.
). That having been informed by Farrow
that he had falsely stated that his note OF Jan.
%, 1880, was paid, Wells wrote Farrow to send
him new note dated at about the maturity of
the former one with the interest, thereby to
prove such false statement of payment, and
that he advised Farrow that he should not
make false statements of payment without in
forming him of his intentions, so as to prevent
his making inconsistent statements
f. That Wells conspired with Mrs Baker
to defraud her creditors, and that the mort
gage and receipt and other specific acts charged
were done in furtherance of that conspiracy.
A prayer follows for rule to issue as pro-
vided by the act and for judgment that Wells
be removed from his Office of attorney and
counselor in all the courts of the State, and
that his name be struck from the roll of attor-
neys.
Judge Virgin had left his chambers before
the information Was filed, but will probably be
to order a rule to issue TODAY.

The Eastern and Boston g. Maine.

Yesterdays Boston Journal says the negoti-
ations for harmonizing the general interests of
these two roads do not make much progress to-
wards conclusion alike satisfactory to their
management and stockholders. The two roads
have enjoyed greater prosperity the past year,
with increased traffic, but the matter of con-
snlidating and pooling the traffic still aims
before the committee. The journal says the
only possibility of consolidating the two con-
flicting interests must be in the direction of
the Eastern railroad leasing the Boston &
Maine for long term of years, guaranteeing
to the stockholders of the latter road in some
satisfactory manner per. cent.
The Journal also says the Boston & Maine
will soon need great terminal facilities at that
end of the line, which the Eastern can furnish
without much expense. Then, again, al
though the Eastern secured the control of the
Maine Central at cost largely exceeding a
million dollars, yet, for the purpose of har-
mony, it divides the traffic from this road with
the Boston & Maine. And in view of the fact
that several of the bills for the regulation of
interstate commerce now before Congress
forbids the pooling of railroad traffic. it is pos
sible that the present arrangement may come
to an end. In that case another war between
the two roads would be disastrous, and the
Boston Maine would perhaps be better off
with their road leased at per cent. with am
pie security
