LOWELL, Mass, Oct. 9.-About p. M,
from some unknown cause, the locomotive
"Andover," used by a gang of Italians in
building branch road from Tewks-
bury, to this city, ran wild with
out engineer or hrcmen and started
for this city some five miles
distant. When the assembled passengers
and attaches at the depot here saw it come
tearing up the track, they fed in wild
confusion. The engine reached the end
OF the Strack, overturned the bunter,
ploughed seventy-tve feet through the
floor of the depot, crushed in Loyejoy d
Rancs express Office, wrecking the parti-
ton and also one end OF the baggage room.
There were four persons in the office. Two
escaped by the door. q q. Pau, chief clerk
jumped on the counter,when a plank was
hurled against the door and exit was cut
oil. The engine tore out a section of the
front wall and all the windows next the
sidewalk, and was about To leap in the
main street when the floor gave way and
it was precipitated into the basement.
Paul escaped by the window. Mrs. Mary
Mutt, the fourth occupant, was forced
down with the wreck She was sabse-
quently taken out, but is fatally injured.
Skillful hands at once sprang upon the
monster and destroyed its power. The
fire department was called out and large
crowd assembled. There are rumors of
more deaths in the ruins. Loss, SIC, 1000.

storics Ernst Materially Differ on Sew

One--Accusing u Captain OF Ex-
tre"e Cruelty.

New YoRK, Oct. 9.-The American
ship Belle of Bath, anchored oil Gov
ernor's Island on Sunday evening and a
man on board shouted 10 the boanmen in
the neighborhood: For Gods sake bur
ry up and take us Off we're starving"
BoaB quickly put out 10 her, and her
crew, Numbering fourteen men, were
landed and conducted TO the Sailors Home,
in Cherry street. Two of the number
were natives of Manila. The stories of
the crew differed materially, bat in one
thing they all agreed. They had run
short of provisions and for many days had
been keps m an amount which they say
was just Sufficient 70 keep life in their
bodies I'VE left Manila on May H."
one Of the crew said, 'more than u month
ago. We ran short OF proym;oas anu
were put on short rations Up to that
time we had plenty OF good food. Our
rations were reduced TO one two or three
slioes of bread day--we never got more
than three, and sometimes had but one
three or four spoonfuls Of rice, and TWO
or threeSpoonfuls of beans On Septem-
Der rs Wa spoke the brig kaureAa, and
got from her a barrel of flour and
some hard tack. A week ago our food
gave out and we were put on short ra-
tons again We never could have stood
it, but it happened to be good weather,
and the Captain didn't ask us 10 do thing
but work the ship, which didn't amount to
much"
Another of the crew said:
ave were badly treated from the time
we left port The provisions were bad,
and we were worked very hard; some Of
us complained to the mates but they made
it the harder for us We knew better
than 10 complain to the Captain, for he
would have made the man who went TO
him a'good deal worse oil than be was be-
fore. 1t was understood all around
that Captain Carter didn't want
anybody coming TO him with
complaints. When we got so short Of
rations that we couldn't sleep at night We
knew we were starving. None OF MS
heard of the Captains cutting himself
short Tor day. We mad jubilee when
we met the laurella and got supply t
beef and hard tack, Dut that was soon
exhausted
Captain J. Carter said: 1.-THE story that
the provisions were bad, and that the
men were oyerworked is false. Nota man
complained " me from the beginning ID
the end of the voyage, bat all appeared per-
iectly satisfied. / don't know whether
they found fault to the mates or no. Ii
they had any fault to find it was their
business To come 10 me- l would like Ia
make teose men who grumbled to you go
out for another passage: On our first
short allowance gave them half poucl
of bread each a day, an allowance OF beef,
plenty OF sugar and beans twice week.

that OF the forecastle"

ROWING GEBHARDT.


New York, Oct. 9.-The well-known.
n not celebrated, Freddie Gebhardt re-
turned from Europe unheralded, BY the
Steamship Arizona, snd is now in this
city. He went On board the steamer at
Liverpool accompanied only by his valet.
There were several friends of his on
board with whom he spent all his time.
He did not associate with the other pas
sengers at all, and whether or not he went
on board under an assumed name is un-
certain. His name does not appear on
the passenger list at all, and for the first
two days his friends called him Gibbs,
and he gave that name when he
bought chance in the ship pools.
After that his friends called him Geb-
hardt without any hesitation. One day a
tall Kentuckian, Burnham by name, a
son of Judge Burnham, who was First
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury un-
der Bristow, went mp To Gebhardt, who
was leaning against pillar of the smok-
ing room, smoking a cigarette, and said:
"Will you be kind enough to give me a
light" Gebhardt looked at him a minute
and said: II don't think 1 had better.
You might break my cigarette" Two or
three days afterward Gebhardt asked
Burnham for light. The latter replied:
al dont think had better, you might
break my cigarette
One might in the companion way two or
three young men were throwing blankets
and rugs at each other. One blanket
struck young fellow, Dr. Green, from
Philadelphia. He turned and threw il at
Gebharit, thinking that the latter had
thrown IL at him 1t stuck Gehhardt on
the shoulder. He Turned and seizing
Greepe by the vrisa, said, "Don't throw
your blankets at mes Greene jerked his
wrist loose, and pushing him up against
the wall, said, "You baby" Gebhardt
said nothing, and Greene, after looking a
minute, turned away. Gebhardt is about
six feet high and powerfully built, while
Greene is small and slender. Gebhardt
told passenger of the steamer that he
mad made 81 700 with Eole tl1is year. lie

THE POSTAL NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.--Dn Macdonald
head OF the money order e4stem Of the

the alleged forging and raising OF the
new postal notes: / do not think they
are being raised for the purpose of frsnd.

any such cases reported to the Department
OF course they would come here To my
desk. No, do not think there is any
caus.. for alarm about the postal notes be-
ing raised. As said, il has been done by
persons who wanted to show that it WAS
possible, bat the result OF their Efforts has
been 10 show that Ia successfully raise
them and To obtain mpney upon them
would be almost impossible. To do this Il
piece must be punched out Of
the note ut one place and in
serted at another, and liked in its place
by FASTING - piece OF paper over the back
or Sy using gum AZ the edges In either
case the fraud would be very easily de
tected. TIE note so raised might probably
pass from one person ~ another, rs cir

observed, but no postmaster would pay II

as these notes are not intended ~ be cir

600 volumes OF the history, and are per-
fectly confident they will sell 100000 vol

her valuable diamonds and other ex-
pensive jewelry were placed in the post
Office vault for safe keeping. The Bloom

places a young man named Rotherwell
who is a postoffice clerk, in a rather bad
light lie is something of ladies' man,
and the Eye says that number OF his
female friends have for some weeks past
been decorating their persons with the
precious gems of the dead songstress,
which Rotherwell kindly took from the
safe and handed ont in rather promiscu-
GUS manner. The relatives of Litta feel
highly indignant over RotherwelPs con-
duet and are taking steps to collect the
jewelry from the parties now having the

NEW YORK FRAUDS.
A Forthcoming Report Showing How
the city IVES SwfnsiIed.

New York, Oct 9.-The Commission
ers of Accounts on the coupon frauds and
the general condition of the finance de-
partment of the city will make q report to
Mayor Edison. The tabuiated statement
on which the report is based covers 100
sheets of paper three feet square and
hundreds Of sheets of paper of bank
ledger size. The report will show that
double payments of interest began ten
years ago, and were made with few excep-
tons, on the $15,000,000 of bonds known
as the Belmont loan. Nearly all the cou-
pom bonds issued prior to 1874 were in
cluded in that loan. The report will
show exactly how the coupon frauds were
committed and will give reasons for re-
jecting the theory that counterfeit cou-
pons were used The commissioners
former report covered only the time be-
tween the beginning of 1879 and August,
1882, wher Clerk VIM. b. Carroll died
That report gave the amount of the city's
loss at about $4,000. The new report
will fix the sum at considerably higher
figures.

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL.
A Strong Plea Against the Color Line
in the Church.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 9.-Bishop
Wilson, of Alabama, addressed the Prot
estant Episcopal Convention in relation to
the work among the colored people in the
South. The speaker said that not only
his present work, but his earliest ministry
had called him among this class of peo-
pie. He spoke strongly against the idea
of having separate congregations of col
ored people, and said he would 500 ner
lose his right hand than vote to establish
any such distinction in the House of God.
The speaker urged strongly upon the
Convention not to make any caste in the
Church, that God had made none, and it
would be making rainbow of variega-
ted church should it attempt to introduce
the color line. Bishop Lyman also adj
dressed the Convention. He covered the
same ground as Bishop Wilmer and in
dorsed his remarks.
