says: On Monday quite an extensive
wreck took place on the Wilmington &
Northern Railroad, near Modena sta
tiOn, caused by freight train running
into an opening in tbe track made by
the repairmen in removing rail to lay
o new one in its place. 1t was soon
after the regular morning passenger
train from Reading had passed down
the road when the freight train, which
had started from Coatesville after it,
came along and the engineer not no,
ticing the warning signal placed by TIE
workmen, rushed at full speed into the
opening, where the engine was badly
wrecked as were also the tank and two
freight cars loaded with bran directly
following it. The engine was thrown
partly over against bank and the two
freight cars were turned completely up
side down. The tank was almost com
pletely demolished. The engineer, fire
man and one brakeman, who chanced
TO be on the engine escaped injury by
Jumping off before the opening in the
track was reached, but the conductor,
who was on one of the bran cars &C
badly wrecked, clung to his post until
the crash came, when, as the car rolled
one way he jumped tho other and es'
capped with few scratches. The wreck
was Of such a nature that on Friday
morn!ug it had not all bean cleared
away vet, although force of men had
been at work on it ever since it oC-
Cured. A temporary track was laid
around 1t to allow other trains to pass
on the road, and but little delay was
occasioned to the regular business OF

A CHEAT sTORM COMING.
a Storm In Marcn that Will sub
merge tho Atlantic Coast.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The
President has received @ eommunica-
tion from Professor E. Stone WigRins,
L. L. D., Astronomer of the Canadian
Finance department. 1t Is dated OF
tawa, November 27, and the following
is copy:
May it please your Excellency: On
the 23d OF September last | announced
through the Canadian press That great
storm would occur in March next; that
it would first I've felt in the Northern
Pacific, would appear in the Gulf OF
Mexico on the night of the 9th and,
being reflected by the Rocky Mountains,
would CROSS this meridian from the
West at noon of Sunday March IL, 1883.
No vessel, whatever her dimensions,
will be safe out of harbor and none OF
small tonnage can hSpe to survive the
tidal wave and fury of this tempest.
AS the wind will blow from the south
east, the planetary force will be sutfi-
cient to submerge the lOwlands of the
American coast, especially those bor-
dering on the Gulf of Mexico and wash
ed by the Gulf Stream, while the air
currents for several hundred miles
along the east side of the Rocky Noun
tain range, owing to the great atmos.
pheric pressure in those regions, will
spread universal destruction.
The New England States will also
suffer severely from the wind and
floods. No point outside Of hsrbor in
the whole area of the Atlantic, espS-
cially north of the Equator, will be a
place Of safety, for this will be pre-emi'
nently the greatest storm that has visit,
cd this continent since The days ofyour
illustrious first President. In view ol
this event, therefore, l take the great
liberty of representing to your Excel,
lency the advisability of ordering al
United States ships into safe harbort
not later than the 9Th of March, till thit
storm be passed.

DORSEY DEPENDS HIMSELF.
The Great Accused Strikes Back
DehantIy.

Stephen W. Dorsey has written for
publication long ''CaId" in relation
TO his position in regard to the Star
Route contracts, defending himself
against the charges brought agai nst
him,
He alleges that, when those charges
were first made, In March, 1881, he laid
all the facts before President Garfield,
''and requested him to select Com mis-
sion, composed entirely Of Democrats,
to investigate each and every charge
that McVeagh and james had caused
to be spread abroad"
The President directed Mr.. James to
select such q commission, and make q
"far-reaching" investigation. After
various delays and evasions on the part
of Mr.. James, Dorsey, accompanied by
his counsel, Ingersoll, called at the
Department and, after several hours,
waiting, saw Mr.. James and Mr.. NC
Veagh. The latter, "who seemed to
Lpeak for himself and all the rest Of the
Department, said they chad detsrmin.
ed not to allow him an investigation Of
the charges published against him in
JhO OHuWbpdpOIDI anu DO1uR AuAbAOL
questioned, he said "there were many
reasons; that so far as the records Of the
Governmental departments showed,
nothing whatever of wrong-doing could
be shown against Stephen W. Dorsey,
and that reason alone was sufficient
why he would decline to allow any in
vestigation when there was nothing to
investigate, so far as he knew" Mr..
Dorsey further alleges that he made a
statement covering the whole of the
facts within his knowledge in regard to
the Star Route contracts, in which he
was corcerned, and that this statement
"was read to the then Vice President,
General Arthur, and Senator Conkling,
by Mr.. George G. Gorham, and to
President Garfield, by Colonel r. G.
IDgersoll, and left with him.
Mr.. Dorsey adds:
II will not repeat the opinion express
this statement, or the strong language
he used in denunciation of the cfeature9
then engaged in what they called a
prosecution.
Dorsey asserts that McVeagh and
James promised that "any statement
he might make would be solely for the
President and Cabinet, but notwith,
standing this pledge, within "a hours
after these two men received the state
ment, every detective employed in their
Departments was furnished with q
printed copy of it, with instructions to
discover in it, If possible, some varia-
ton from the facts as shown by the
records"
Not ono variation, says Mr. Dorsey
has been found as yet, Mr.. Dorsey
after making lengthy statement o.
"facts," concludes by asserting that the
recent removals of officials were made
"for the purpose of terrorizing the en-
tire community" and that the removal
of Marshal Henry especially was made
in order thaB the next jury that Is tc
Try the cases may be "packed" by the
prosecution.

Three young men occupied it together,
and got into a dispute, which resulted
in a free fight, in which boots, water
pitchers, chairs, ETC., were used, and
half the furnishings in the room were
smashed to atoms.> A porter and two
or three walters went up from below
and broke down the door, and all the
people on the hall in which the fracas
took place came out and swore loudly
or screamed, according to the means Of
emotional expression accorded to their
respective sexes. Altogether, a noise
was made sufficient to make the dead
turn over, II it did not cause them to
arise. After the hubbub subsidized it
was noticed that the door OF the room
next to that in which the disturbance
occurred remained locked, and the
sound of peaceful snoring crept Ian
guidly out Of the keyhole. Curiosity
