A Wall Street Story.

A good story is told in Wall street
apropos of the recent activity in the
Louisville and Nashville stock. w.
Williams, who, with Rufus Hatch, has
fought the Western Union through all
the courts in creation, is largely inter-
ested in the Louisville 81 Nashville
Railroad, of which he is also director.
He and President Baldwin are supposed
to have lost great deal of money during
the drop. In any case, they assured
their friends but few weeks ago that
L. & N. was the cheapest purchase on
the list at so. Ithas gone below al since,
and, with all the forced recovery of the
last few days, has barely seen anything
like so yet Williams had, besides his
stock, heavy line of puts at A, and
that Jay Gould seemed deaf to any
proposition as long as the Western
Union suit was not discontinued. He
did not seem disposed to negotiate with
Williams, but consented some two weeks
ago to have an interview with Baldwin,
who had Williams carte blanche to
arrange matters. Everything seems to
have been so satisfactorily arranged
that it is even reported now that Gould
is to enter the Louisville & Nashville
Board of Directors. His shorts were
covered with large profit, and the suit
is to be withdrawn. But here comes the
:hitch. 'Bob" Sewell, Williams lawyer,
was smart enough before taking the
case to make clause by which Williams
had to pay him $250,000 in case he
should make any compromise with
Gould without his (Sewell's) assent.
Now the question arises who shall pay
the money, and whether Sewell, in his
turn, will make any compromise. He
had very soft thing in this case, not
only in the matter of fees and of the
possible $3.50, 900, but also in his profess
sional victory over Judge Dillon and
General Swayne. Gould got tired of
paying the big bills of Dudley Field and
his friends, and made wholesale con-
tract with Dillon and Swayne for hand
ling all his Iitigations. But they were
not strong enough to beat Sewell.-

man, it Plunges into a Depot Building
After Demolishing the Structure and
Killing a Woman 1t Buries Itself in the
Cellar.
LOWELL, Mass, Oct. "A remarkable
accident occurred Monday afternoon on the
Boston s. Maine Railroad. A lot Of Italians
had been for several weeks employed in
laying additional track on the branch
road junction. They have had a
grayel-train and the locomotive Andover.
About five o'clock this engine ran wild. 1t
started in Tewksbury, four or five miles dis
tant from here. Reaching the end of the track
it overturned the bunter as though it were
a mere whisp of straw and went plow-
ing through the floor of the depot for a dis
lance of seyenty-five feet into the office Of
Lovejoy & Rand's express Office. 1t crashed
through the partition separating this office
from the depot quarters, and also wrecked
one end of the baggage-room in passing
AS it entered the express Office four per-
sons We're present AND endeayored to escape.
Two succeeded by way of the door. G. G..
Paul had time to leap on a desk when the
Hill. n plduk WAS
hurled against the door and pinned Mr..
Paul in close quarters. Meanwhile the en-
CINE was grating its head against the brick
wall which adjoined the public sidewalk and
tore out quite section, besides all the win
dows, when the floor gave way and it was
precipitated into the basement, emitting
clouds of steam and smoke. This released
Mr.. Paul and permitted his escape through
the window. 1t also prevented the ma
chine from piercing the wall and
getting into the public street. The fourth
occupant of the express Office, and
the only other one-so far as known-lwas
Mrs. Mary Nutter, an aged widow who lives
at No. Water street. She was carried
down into the cellar with the engine and
debris, and was completely, though lightly,
covered, resting face downward just under
the headlight Her injuries will prove
fatal. r N#
On the track adjoining that which the
runaway had trayerSed was train almost
ready to leave, and had it come on that
side the destruction of property and life
must have been great.
There are the widest rumOrS on the
street as to loss of life by burial beneath the
ponder0uS mass of iron and timbers in the
basement, but nothing authentic has yet
come to light The machine will be raised
as soon as possible to learn the full truth.
The property loss must amount to $1O,O
OF more. tH@

A Nautical Curiosity.

John Crankshaw, DR., an ingenious
young man of Frankford, has construct
ed curious little canoe with heavy
muslin and barrel hoops. The craft is
fourteen feet long and twenty inches
wide in the center The stem and stern
posts are sawed out of pine knee knots,
and the lateral slips over which the
ribs are fastened are also of pine. The
rest of the little boat is constructed en-
tirely of muslin and ordinary flour bar
rel hoops, the latter being one-quarter
of an inch apart and fastened to the
lateral slips, which extend from stem
to stern. Over this skeleton the mus
lin, having been thoroughly soaked in
oil, is stretched. Two water tight COM
partments are made fore and aft, by
stretching the oil soaked muslin entire
ly over the canoe, thus making a deck
which can not be penetrated by the wa
ter. The paddler's place contains a
small seat, and space enough to clear
the occupants legs and feet. A light
board floor keeps the latter from knock
ing holes in the crafts muslin bottom.
When the canoe had been completed,
but not painted, it weighed only six
teen pounds, but has since been given
several heavy coats of white lead, and
now weighs thirty EIGHT pounds. 1t has
been successfully put to a test, and its
owner, with his double-b laded paddle,
uses it almost every day on tie river

Humphrey Marshall.

Humphrey Marshall, of Kentucky,
was burly Congressman who weighed
at one time over 400 pounds. Born in
1872, he was educated for the army,
but, after having graduated at West
Point, and been commissioned as Second
Lieutenant, he resigned and studied
law. An eloquent speaker, he soon be-
came one of the leading members of the
Kentucky bar, then headed by Clay and
Crittenden; but on the breaking out of
the Mexican war he took the field as
Colonel of a regiment of Kentucky vol
unteer dragons. This was probably
one of the braEest and best drilled vol
unteer cavalry regiments in any service,
and its gallant services at Buena Vista,
where Colonel Marshall led it into the
thickest of the fight, were the admiration
OF all who witnessed its heroic exploits.
Entering Congress in 1S49 as Repre-
sentative from Kentucky, Colonel Mar
shall soon took leading part in debate,
and as a humorous speaker ranked next
to Tom Corwin, of Ohio.
MarshalPs secret was the indulgence
in ''forty-wink maps" which, by the
way, enables Governor Butler to stand
such fatigue. One moment the brilliant
Kentuckian would be uttering an origi-
nal remark, and as you still listened a
muffied snore would come from his
phlegmatic flesh. Yet this state of
balmy sleep would be but flash. His
eyes would twinkle again, his cheeks
would expand, breath-puff would de-
note his relief, and he would 90 on with
the conversation as. though no slum-
brouS moment had broken the thread of
his discourse. This Rip Van Wrinkle
ism in broken doses was also INDUCED
in by Colonel Marshall in the court
room. He used to snoOze at least half
the time, bolt upright in his chair, law
books and brief before him, in the midst
OF the trial of the most important cases.
even while his opposing attorney was
addressing the Court or jury, yet his
ears seemed ever awake, and no fact
essential to his clients interest was ever
lost.
Colonel Marshall was an inveterate
gambler, and when he was appointed
by President Fillmore Minister to China
he lost the money paid him at the State
Department as an ''outfit." Luckily
for him, the keeper of the gambling
house was Jack Pendleton, who prided
himself on being ''a Virginia gentleman,
sir! belonging to one of the first fami-
lies, sir!'' He loaned Marshall money
enough to get to China with, and used
his potent exertions to have Congress
raise the grade and consequently the
pay of the Chinese mission.
Meanwhile Colonel Marshall 'saw
Sam, and drifted from the old Wing
party into the National Americans, and
thence into the Democracy. In 1857 he
was reelected to Congress, and in 1861
he espoused the secession cause,
although Kentucky remained firm for the
Union. Marshall was made Confed-
crate Brigadier, and he served through
out the war. When the silver-toned
trumpet of peace was heard, he resumed
the practice of law at Louisville, KY,
and died at Louisville, of pneumonia,
on the 28th of March, 1S72.-St. Louis
