yard to-day. The charges preferred against
Captain McGlensey were read. They
charge that officer and his clerk, Mr.. j. n.
C. Cole, with aiding John +. Dezendorf in
his charges made to the Navy Department
against him Commodore Mayo; also, that
he (McGlenseyl, in asking for leave OF
absence for j. n. C. Cole, had represented
him ms a clerk, when he only occupied the
position Of writer, and was thereby try
ing to obtain for him two days pay-ths
time OF his absence-when he was not en-
titled to the same; and further, that he
(McGlensey) refused to deliver certain pa
pers when ordered to do so by him the
commandant).

singular Railroad Accident.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.I


KNOXVILLE, July 1S.-At about / O'Clock
this morning IN east-bound express train
was thrown from the main track by mis-
placed switch at the Zinc Works, one mile
east of this city. The train was running
at full speed and struck four cOal-cars on
the side track, demolishing them. The
engine jumped the track and ran into
the main building OF the works, just
erected by the East Tennessee Valley
Zine Company, tearing away the whole side
OF the building and playing havoc with
the machinery. The locomotive struck
the stationary engine Of the zinc company,
demolishing the latter completely. The
locomotive and tender were overturned,
the mail ear was torn to pieces, and the
express car was damaged. The damage to
the railroad company is about $4,000, and
to the ZINC company about $4,000. The
railroad company offer large reward for
the apprehension Of the person who broke
the lock and changed the switch.

OGDENsBURG, n. V, July 1S.-The Han

ter many had despalred Of having the race
on account Of the high wind that prevailed
all day. Ross won the choice, and selected
the outside OF the course, explaining he
was afraid the small boats would interfere
with him. Hanlan led off easily, and kept
4 length ahead through the first mile, row.

the II flag IIanlan stopped rowing, and
then made twenty-nine strokes to Ross

cheer from the press boat, Hanlan cried
out, "It's lonesome out here" Ross APP
peared blown at this time, and George Lee
pulled alongside and talked to him. Han

Four miles and finish-IIanlan. q minutes

Hanan came in so far ahead that the ma
jority OF the 10000 people on the water
and shore supposed that Ross and Lee,
who were pulling together, were the con-
testants, and that Ross had won the race.
This report was telegraphed all over the
country, and an hour after the race the
question was asked on the streets and at

THE MONEY RAISED TO PAY MGEOCH CEEDl-
TORS ONE-nALF THEIR CLAIMS.
4 Milwaukee telegram OF the 18th says /:
Great excitement was created in COM
mcrcial circles to-day by a rumor that the
McGeoch settlement might eventually fall
through on account OF the inability OF
Mr.. McGeoch to secure the large
sum Of money which il will be ne
cesSary for him to place in the hands
OF Receiver Bentley in order TO enable the
latter to pay the compromising creditors
the sum of 80 cents on the dollar, which
they have been promised. Ii Mr.. Nc
Geoch himself is an authority on the sub
ject. however, the rlImor is without foun-
dation. When questioned by the IineS'S
correspondent to-day concerning the mat
ter, Mr.. McGeoch said: eve are nego-
tiating for portion OF the funds, and we
are in hopes that all will come out well.
You can safely say that the money will be
raised. ard will 80 down to Chicago right
away"
.'To-day ?" asked the reporter.
"NO, not to-day"
"What day, then?"
"Well. | don't know what day exactly.
There are still some preliminary points at
Chicago 10 be arranged. you see, but when
the prclinnnaries there are all through with
the money will he forthcoming"
That the negotiations TO which Mr.. Nc
Geoch referred as being in progress to Sc
cure the money necessary to satisfy his
creditors are certain TO result favorabiy
was indicated pretty conclusiyely by some
thing which happened at the reglster-oI-
deeds's Office, in the courthouse, later in
the morning. This was nothing less than
the fling Of mortgage executed
by Daniel Wells, Jr., to the North
western Mutual Life-Insurance Com
pany in this city TO secure the pay
ment OF $4,000 at the end OF one
wear. The mortgage conveys Is tracts and
i'll lots OF land. and covers all the real
estate owned by Mr.. Wells in this country.
II has all along been common report that
Mr.. Wells was interested with Mr.. Nc
Geoch in the speculation which resulted so
disastrously TO the latter, and lately the
story has been current that McGeoch was
laboring with Wells to induce him to lay
down a sum sufficient to pay his equitable
share in the settlement. Whatever the
facts may be, the raising by Mr.. Wells AT
this time of the large sum for which the
mortgage Is given certainly lends strong
air of truth 10 the current report. Sur
misses were all verified late this afternoon
by one OF Mr.. McGeoch's confidential
clerks saying that the S650,OOO necessary TO
pay off the compromise OF fifty cents on the
dollar had been placed IN the Mitchell
Bank. and tomorrow this large sum Will
be transferred 10 Chicago and the work OF
settling will begin.

81 9rnbsn Of seventeen. and an heiress
with some 100000 IN her own right, ar
rived here from st. Louis with her aunt on
Monday Of last week. They found that at
Tho West End, at which II was their inten-
,jon 10 stop. no rooms could be obtained,
SO they TOOK rooms temporarily at the Nor
riS Cottage.
Inst before shutdown the other evening
Miss Coombs. accompanied by two ladies
and male cousin, went into the surf. The
surf was somewhat rough, but Miss Coombs
did not heed IL. When about two hundred
feet from her companions a scream from
the Young lady told everybody that she was
in danger. The young man, her cousin,
fastened with the other two ladies, who
were on the point OF fainting. TO the shore
In the mean time the keeper launched the
life-boat and rowed TO the girl. The
screams ceased, and 1t was believed that
the sea had swallowed her. suddenly a
dark object was seen 10 mount a wave. and
q cry was heard. Here! Here!" The
boat was directed towards the spot. and
two persons climbed into it. They were
Miss Coombs and her reScuer, William
Wmttlc>ey. who had been swimming some
distance out in the sea.
Before the boat reached shore Miss
Coornbs was cool and collected, pouring
ont her thanks 10 her brave rescuer.
When she reached the arms of her aunt,
who was standing on the beach, shout
went un from the crowd. The cousin OF
Miss C0Ombs approached young white
Sev, shook him heartily by the hand, and,
placing a well-fillcd wallet in Whittlesey's
hand, sid " Here, take this"
"Oh, no." replied the young man, Z"
only done my duty" and all the persua-
sions could not tempt the young man to
accept the proflercd wallet. The Young
man was persuaded to accompany Miss
Coombs and her friends TO their cottage,
where he blushed like schoolgirl under
the praises poured upon him. lie finally
consented TO accept gold watch and
chain. which the girl he saved will pur-
chase for him. Whittlescy is twenty-one
wears Of age, and is q clerk in a railway
office at Iowa City.
To reporter Miss COOmbS said "

The ladies who heard the story exclaimed
that il was a real shame that Mr.. White

mable young lady residing ut Sioux City.
The young heireSS herself at first did not
seem to like it, but, it is said, obtained
young Whiulesey'S consent to stand as
bridesmaid at bis wedding. There is every
likelihood that young Whittlesey will start
out on his voyage with much better pros
