A Philadelphia dispatch of the
Sd says: In the trial of Captain
Barker, on a charge of throwing
his vessel, the Mary ID. Leach.
upon a reef and losing her, mate
Crosswell D. Smith testified that
when the vessel left Old Provi-
dence reef she could not have
been seen from the harbor, but in
going out broken water was seen.
Captain Barker gave Smith or
ders to take the ship, at the same
time adding, 81 want this to be
the last tack the ship shall ever
make" Smith to this made an
swer, "Where are you going tc
put her?' to which the captain re-
piled, "On the reef" If con
victed the crime entails the deati
penalty.

A Big Fire.

The magnificent building of the
Pittsburg Exposition society, on
the north bank of the Alleghany
river, has been totally destroyed.
The immense structures, with
their almost endless variety of ex-
hibits, illustrative OF every branch
of art, science and mechanical skill
which have been visited by thou
sands of people, since the opening,
September 6, is now 4 mass of
splintwood aud powdered embers
and tangled iron. The destruc-
tion is complete. Fire was first
discovered in the boiler-room at
tached to machinery hail, II the
south end OF the building, and me-
fore the watchman c"uii give III
alarm the flames had spread Ia
floral hall, machinery hal! anal the
main buildings, and in less than
ten minutes the buildings were OIL
fire from end to end, and when
the fire department arrived on the
grounds the flames were beyond
control. Nothing could be saved
and the fremen turned their at.
tention to saving adjacent proper
ty, many residences on South ave,
nue. being in flames, they succeed
ed in saving all of these, with no
more damage done than burning
fences and cornices. Repeated
alarms soon aroused almost tn,
entire population of the two cities
and it is estimated that not les.
than $4,000 to 100000 peopi,
witnessed the confagration. The
reflection of the flames illuminated
the country for miles around
making possible reading of th'
finest newspaper print.

the occasion. 4 response to the senti-
ments expressed by Mr.. Watterson was

whose time was not limited and with the
disposition rife to see all that opportunity

Louisville is a handsome city situated
high and dry on the south bank Of the
Ohio river. She has large trade and
her streets present lively, busting APP

very fine and she contains many magnif-

seems well entitled to the claim made for
herof possessing SO many handsome WON

claim everywhere on the streets or at the

Last evening while III. Seitz, OF
Pennington, and another man supposed
to be NJ. Neis, of Jefferson, were return
ing in a wagon from the fair here. their
vehicle was struck by a passenger train
going east on the Milwaukee and Madi-
son Division of the Chicago and North
western Railway at a point about one
mile east of Jefferson Junction, and both
men killed. The engineer noticed the
two men driving rapidly towards the
track. He whistled and rang the bell,
but the men, he says, apparently taking
no notice Of the warning signals urged
their horses forward. Just as the team
cleared the track the engine crashed into
the wagon, killing both its occupants in
stantlv. One of the unfortunate men
was thrown quite a distance into ditch,
while the other one was found lying on
on the pilot of the engine. Neither
Of the horses was injured.
