Steamship Brooklyn Runs on Hog
Island Ledge.
The Vessel Sticking Fast at Last Ac-
counts.

Steamship Brooklyn, Captain. Gibson, OF the
Dominion line left her wharf at about 9.45 last
night and soon after struck on Hog Island
ledge abreast OF Fort Gorges and stuck fast.
She was in charge Of Captain Poor, the pilot,
at the time, but how the mistake was made
which landed her on the ledge is not explain
ed. 1t was about high water when she struck.
Immediately after she struck signal rockets
were fred and the agents OF the line notified of
her situation. The Express and several other
tugs were chartered and went with the officers
oflthe.line TO the scene of the accident The Ex-
press returned at about 2 o'clock this morning
and landed the passen gers from the Brooklyn,
six in number, at Custom House wharf where
hack provided by the agent of the line was
IN readiness and took them to the Falmouth
Hotel. The night was perfectly clear and the
sea calm.
All sorts OF rnmors were circulated during
the ght as TO the condition Of the steamer.
One report said she was lying in bad position
and that she was liable to heel over when the
tide fell and become q total wreck. 1t was
also said that she was making wster and that
the chances OF saving her were very slim. An
other story was that she was hoggiDg
Capt Torrance who returned from the ship
on the Express pronounced these rumors false.
He said the ship was lying in good position
and he thought she would be got off to-day
after, perhaps, some tightening He gave
no explanation Of the cause of the ac-
cident. The ship, he said, was in charge of
the pilot when she struck.
One Of the passengers said the shock was
quite severe when the ship struck. The ship
seemed to him to be lying her full length on the
rock and was slightly heeled over. The officers
assured him that she would come of all right
to-day.
The Brooklyn is a ship of 5000 tons aud is
one Of the largest of the Dominion line. Her
cargo consisted of 4O65O bushels of wheat, 1875
bushels Of peas, 269 bags of oat meal, 50 bar

RAILROAD WAR.

LAWRENCE, April 6.--Consderable excite
ment was occasioned this morning by the ap-
pearanee OF gang OF 100 employees of the Bos-
ton ~ Lowell railroad, who at once began tear
ing up Canal street, and laying ties and tracks
thereon. Their coming was entirely unexpect-
ed, and Mayor Breen was at once notified, but
after consulting with the city solicitor found
that he could not interfere with the operations
OF the railroad, as the street is the property OF
Essex county, and although used as public
thoroughfare over twenty years has not been
accepted by the city. The railroad men are
very reticent, but IL is understood that track
will be laid to Union street, connecting with
the horse railroad tracks, thus aifording an un-
interrupted passage for Boston & Low ell freight
TO all the mill corporations in the city, This
il is understood, win operate TO the detriment
OF the Boston & Maine road, which has weekly
large conGignments to the mills, and controls
track running along the mill fronts, but not on
the streets. The mayor aud Board of Alder
men Will meet this afternoon to discuss the sit
uation, II is understood that the Supreme
Court will be appealed to for an injunction to
restrain the Boston 4 Lowell from further
progress in this direction. A prominent citi-
zen, connected with both railroads, states that
had not the Boston y Lowell railroad COM
menced operations duiing the night, the Bos-
ton a Maine intended 10 lay special track
through the street to-day.
special meeting of the Board of Aldermen
was held this afternoon to consider the sudden
invasion OF Canal street by the Boston & Low
ell Railroad. Col. George appeared for the
railroad, stating il was the intention of tho
road TO extend freight facilities here, and that
1t had the permission OF the abutters ON the
street, viz, the Essex Company. Pacific At
lantic, Washington and Pemherton corpora-
tions, to use the street as railroad thorough
fare. As the street ia not public way the Al

the Pacific storehouse on canal street, aud win

A Maine Mans Career in India.

Intelligence has been received that Richard
Macallister, prominent merchant of Calcut-
ia, India, is dead. Mr. Macallister has been
engaged in business in Calcutta come twenty
years. He was born in Montville, in this State,
Feb. Z, 1880, and going TO Boston at the age OF
sixteen years became an expressman. Subse-
quently he was employed by the Metropolitan
Railroad Company and rose to the position of
roadmaster. In 1862 he became assistant agent
of the Tudor Company in Calcutta, and event.
ually succeeded the late Caleb Ladd as agent.
Leaving the Tudor Company in 1870 he found
ed the commission house of K. Macallister &
Co., and as shipowner and commission mer-
chant did large and lucrative business, ac-
quiring large fortune. Mr.. Macallisfer was
man OF fine character, business enterprise and
pleasing manners. During the war Of the re-
bellion he was well known for his loyalty 10
the Union cause. He was princely in his hos
pitality to Americans, and among guests whom
he entertsined in his Calcutta home was the
late William Il. Seward. who once said of him
that "to be with Maeallister made a man feel
stronger and better" Mr.. Macallister was act
ing American consul and vice consul several
years, and represented the American Govern
ment at the Delhi Durbar when Victoria wss
crowned Empress of India. His sympathy
and his puree were always open to needy fell
low countrymen, and during the Asiatic cpl
demic he was comforter TO many mourners

THE WATERFOWL TRAGEDY
Examination of the Negro curliff
The Story Of the Accuser Not Generally
Credited.

BoSroS, April. 6.-Carliff, the colored man
charged with the murder of Mrs. Carleton, was
arraigned this afternoon. He was arrested
upon the testimony given by John Clark, mu-
lAtto, with whom Carliff boarded. Clarke
states Carleton sometime previous TO the muir
der promised him (Carliff) $3.50 10 chloroform
and smother some person, name not stated, by
which Carleton would be enabled to get nos
session of some money. On the night of the
murder Carliff came to Clark and said he had
got MS money that in subsequent eonversa-
tion he acknowledged having committed the
deed and described his trip to Watertown
Carleton, he said. hired a team, drove out and
met him going to the house about dark. Car
lin tied the end OF a ball of twine to his wrist
and went to the, Carleton remaining on the
the oppositessidewitht the other end of the string
TO signal to him If any one approached. The
murder was accomplished. string rolled up and
they came to Boston. 1t is not known If this
testimony can be relied upon; as il has been
previously shown that Carleton was in Boston
at the time Of the murder. The parties are
looked upon rs unreliable and bearing a bad
reputation.
The police state they have secured evidence
corroborating some points in the testimony OF
the principal Witness CLARK. They are able to
show, they say, that Curliff had numerous
whispered conversations with Carleton in
CaSeys saloon within three weeks previous to
the murder, and that Curliff was in close con-
versation with Carleton shortly after o'clock
on the AFTERNOON OF tac murder, and that Car
litf thereupon went out. There is unquestion-
able evidence which is in possession OF officers
who have been from the start at work on the
case showing the murder was committed with
in two minutes of % p. M, and Carlton has
perfect alibi between 8 and 7.30, when he is
known TO have been in Boston. The same
evidence proves the story about tie string sig
nal to be pure fabrication. There ia grave
reason for believing that the in
centiye of a large reward may prove
serious obstacle to the real solution
OF the mystery. Some five months ago an old
man named Whttemore, who carried money
used in gaming house in Hayward place, was
murdered and robbed He was struck on the
head with b. lex or stone, and never spoke
after the assault. Curliff was strongly sus-
pected then of being the perpstrator, and was
employed in the gambling house at the time.
Since his arrest on suspicion of being connect
ed with the Carlton murder, the police are
more inclined than ever to believe he killed
Whittemore. This assault, in point of detail,
was somewhat similar TO that at Watertown.
The police stated tonight that Clark's confess
sion is very himsy, and that belief III aeon
spiracy to obtain the reward is momentarily
Strengthening. No warrant has yet been or
dered BY the justice for the arrest of eithsr
Carlton or the negro, Carliff. His detention,
with that Of two colored companions, is simply
to assure their testimony at the inquest now
holding in WATERFOWL.

Cincinnati Cathollcs nxcited

CINCINNATI, April 5.--Nearly 200 Of the
members OF st. Franciss and st. Johns Ro-
man Catholic churches 10 this city, have sud-
denly developed into Spiritualists Their oc-
tion in attending the seances was severely de-
nounced from the pulpits Of both of these
churches, and during the week active efforts
were made to persuade them to avoid the ipflu-
eDoe of the mediums, Families have been d.
yided, and the region in the vicinity Of the
churches named Is much wrought up over the
matter. TO yield to Spirituslistic teachings IL
considered grave transgression by the Catho-
lies. The Rev. Maximillian Shaefer and Vicar

churches in which tho strange doctrine has
taken root, state that those who have yielded
bers Of their congregation, and they think
that the class Of people who can be affected by

recover S3,9J0 for property belonging to an as
sociatien known as the Orient Mining Com

question. The Supreme Court has ordered
the verdict TO be set aside and
