"Only IS years ago that the rebellion
closed, said an old army officer to me the 9TH

to Washington often, and walks quietly about

FATAL CROSSING COLLISION
Three EEen Killed and a EIagman Burned
i'm His Watch House.

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.--One of the most singular
CURED yesterday morning, at about o'clock,
at the Joliet crossing, short distance this side
of Sherryville, and about SO miles from Chica-
GO. At that point, the tracks Of the Pan Han
die and Michigan Central railroads cross 1t
is known as dangerous point among railroad
men, and several accidents of similar charac-
ter have happened there during the last two
years. The passenger train which leaves Lo-
gan at 2.55 a. M, is due at the crossing at 80.
Saturday morning the train was ten minutes
late, and Engineer Norris ordered his fireman,
John German, to get up plenty of steam, as he
wanted to make the crossing on time. Just as
he reached that place, freight train of the
Michigan Central came in collision with his
engine. Norris was crushed beneath the de-
bris of his locomotive, and horribly mangled.
he died almost instantly. He was a good
man. The brakeman of the freight train was
also killed.
The fisgman who attends to the turning Of
the target at the crossing was in his little
house, with his little boy, at the time of the
crash. The trains turned over on the shanty,
and the hot Goals of one of the engines were
emptied on him and burned him to crisp. The
little boy who was in the shanty with the flag
man, in some inexplicabe way, escaped. He
was seen to crawl out from beneath the debris
and run away. His clothes were burning, and
as he ran the wind famed the flames. They
grew larger and larger, and the poor little fell
low became more and more frightened. At
each step he increased his speed, thus aug
menting the danger. Finally, man ran after
and overlook the lad He threw him on the
ground, and with great effort extinguished the
hames and thus saved him from horrible
death. After the fire had been extinguished,
the body Of the watchman was found under
the building. He was Swede, who was tenn
porarily taking the place Of one who had been
the permanent watchman there. The engin-
esr of the freight train was seen to leap Just
before the engines came together, and when
they counted noses he was missing. It was at
first supposed that he was under the debris,
but he was tracked by his blood, and found
nearly three miles from the scene of the acci-
dent, dying and out of his head. His firem an,
who escaped unhurt, says he struck fence
when he jumped, and it must have been So
for he was partly disemboweled. The passen-
gers escaped with slight bruises.

ALABAMA CLAIMS.
Four Enportant Legal Questions to be
Argued before the Court.

WASHINGTON, Oct 28. In order to settle
four important questions upon which several
million dollars of claims depend the court of
Alabama claims has notified its attorneys that
It viii set aside November u, 10, IA and 10 for
hnal areuments, one day for each question in
the order they are given below. Two hours for
each arsumentgwill be allowed and counsel who
desire ray also file opinions properly briefed.
The questions and the positions taken by the
government counsel, which the claimants
must refute, are as follows:
Frst-Was the tugboat boat Boston a Confeder-
ate cruiser within the meaning-of the act of June
0, 1857 To this the government answers that she
was not cruiser, and all claims for damages caus-
ed ny hdr are inadmsslble. The facts were that in
June. S63, New Orleans being then under Union
conslo the Boston was tug boat, towing vessels
from the mouth of the Mississippi to that CITY, One
dav Whlle towing vessel up stream a boat under
rebel ofacer put oil from the Shore seized the Bos-
posing she was still in friendly hands the blockade
at the pass allowed her to go out and by means Of
the same deception she came up to and seized the
Darquss Lenox aud Texana, witk valuable fcargoes.
The claim Is for the value of these two vessels
Second hat is the proper Interpretation to be
put on the termhigh seas as used in the fifth sec
uon of the act The government answers that the
act itself defines "high seas'' as being four miles
from Shore while claimants insist that it begins at
low water mark.
Third Does claim of the first or second class
pass by an assignment in bankruptcy or insolvency
or Dy general assignment for the benefit of creditors
under state law or is the assigDor still regarded as
the legal owner of the properly? The government
answers An assignment vests the right Of recovery
1o loss under classes one aud two in the assignee
subsequent discharge in bankruptcy does not affect
such right
Fourth-Can there be rec overy for war premi ums
paid for insurance on ships and cargoes upon voy-
al IS wholly ii inland waters? The answer is that
losses on the high seas only afford ground for
cevery.
These legal points are the more important
ones not yet decided; besides the questions are
to be settled whether war premiums paid on
goods shipped in foreign vessels are recoverable
and whether the insurance on the catch OF
whaling voyage is really paid by the vessels
owners or the seamen whose shares make up
the catch. With these legal barriers removed
the court will be able to dispose of more cases
as then only the facts in each one will have to
be brought out.

EEarbor Lighting by Elcctricisy.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-This week the er-
gineers of the Lighthouse Board will begin
putting in place the iron frame for the new
electric light at Halletts Point at the en-
trance to East river, New York harbor. 1t
will be 250 feet high, located on an island in
mid-stream. The light will be of 24,0O0 cam
die power, and will illuminate, clearly as day.
the dangerous passage at that point, for dis
tance of at least three miles. Specifications
for supplying the electric plant have been for
warded to various companies, and bids invited.
The light will be in operation about Jan. /. It
will be the first use of electricity in this say,
and the results of the experiment are auxiously
looked for abroad as well as in this country
Henry Ervings First Appearance Great
Success.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29.-Tbe Star Theatre was
densely thronged tonight on the occasion of
Henry Irving's first appearance. During the
entire play hushed attention alternated with
spontaneous enthusiasm, and never has an ac-
tor more easily won the favor OF an audience.
A degree of nervousness was noticeable at
times in Mr.. Irving, but which in no wise de-
tracted from his splendid delineaticn of the
character Of Matthias, ,tbut really gave a greater
weirdness to the already weird play OF Bells.
After each act Mr.. Irving was called before
the curtain, and with great grace, acknowl-
edged the welcome which was SO genuinely
sincere upon the part of his audience, and so
deeply appreciated by himself.

Troy, Oct. 2S.-There is great excitement in
West Troy over the appearance of crazy
man in the woods. The maniac dug deep
hole in the side of hill at the head of Genesee
street, and improvised a hut by using a few
planks. He filled in the space between the
boards with mud and covered it with bangles
His bed consisted of dry leaves. In the neigh
borhood are the Wiswall and the Marqua
brickyards. The employees paid little attention
to the man until today, having considered him
harmless, but this afternoon it was learned
that the man had attempted to entice little
boy into his hut, promising him 500 if he
would let him cut his throat. When this cir
cumstance was made public, it was deemed ad-
visable to capture the man, but when his hut
was visited this evening he could not be found
His early return and capture are expected. 1t
is said that the man is the son of prominent
and wealthy resident of Troy. The young
man became insane from the excessive use of
liquor, and was sent to Ovid, from which insti-
tuition he escaped. Since his appearance in
the woods he has been seen to partake of raw
chicken with ravenous appetite.

An address of the Democratic State Com
mittee to the people in speaking of the vigil
publican citizens meeting to watch the polls
and prevent fraud on election day, says the
Republicans raised the cry of fraud only as a
mask to surround the polls with hirelings in
order that they may obstruct free and honest
expression of the popular will. Their vigil
lance committees more likely will be repeat
ers in disguise Democrats are called upon to
see an honest ballot and a fair count. Intimi-
dation at the polls must never be submitted to.

to maintain all the rights vouchsafed to the
people by the constitution.

were only 600 barrels landed at WelIfeet,

heavy wind of the past week, which has prov

reason of the measre catch. At one time there
were at least 300 sail off our coast, but they put
