THE LIST.
Collision of an Excursion and Freight Train
Several Lives Lost.

Several Lives Lost.
TITusvILLE, Pa, July ia Herald spe-
cial says: An excursion train from this
city, containing about se~venty-five members
of the Masonic lodges, while returning from
jamestown, collided with a freight train on
the Buffalo & Southwestern road, at 2 o'clock
this morning, two miles from jamestown,
instantly killing George Gates, conductor; NJ.
D. Colby, brakeman, of the freight train, and
fatally. i~niuring w. ]. Innis, another brake
man. No one was hurt on the excursion
train. The engineers and fremen on both
trains saved themselves by jumping. Both
engines were smashed all to pieces, and also
many freight cars. The force drove the ex-
cursion coaches backward twenty-five feet,
but they kent on the track. CoIby's limbs
were crushed TO a jelly. Gates, the con-
duetor, was roasted in the ruins The cause
of the accident was the failure of the 'engi-
neer OF the freight to obey orders. IF the
train men of the excursion train had not
used the greatest care, the loss of life would
have been frighttul.

Commissioner Dudley Informs Her that Her
Services Are No Longer Required.
Washington Special.
General Dudley, Commissioners of Pensions,
has been for months steadily bringing the
management of his bureau down to a bust
ness basis, new methods being introduced
and incompetent clerks weeded out. In the
force OF clerks has been for several months
DIR. Mary Walker, and General Dudley, never
satisfied with her efficiency or the manner Ia
which she did any of her work, was
frequently on the point of order
ing her dismissal. < day or two
ago he informed Secretary Teller, who
appointed the Doctor, that the latter's ability
as a clerk was, according TO his idea, too far
below the standard to longer think OF retain
ing her in her present position. The Sec-e-
tary directed him to act as the needs of the
bureau required, and General Dudley adj
dressed a note to DIR. Walker, telling her
that she would please consider her eonnee-
ton with the Pension Bureau as having
terminated on the LIST Of July. The Doctor,
who was absent on a vacation, lost no time
in framing a reply. in which she stated
that she would return to Washington by
July 10, at which time she would be found
at her desk in the Pension Office, General
Dudley to the contrary, Notwithstanding.
Furthermore, she threatened, If General
Dudley persisted in his attempts to dismiss
her she would next winter invoke the aid of
Congress in her behalf and bring upon him
an investigation that would go to the bottom
of affairs in the Pension Office. Thus the
matter stands. The 18th of the month is
anxiously awaited by those who expect some
amusement to grow out of the affair, though
it is more than probable DIR. Mary Walker
will not be a clerk in the Pension Bureau on
that dow

A Huge DefaIcatlon.

New York special: One of the mos
striking examples Of the fatal danger OF
stock speculation, and the ruinous
fascination which it seems to exercise
upon its victims, come to light to-day
in the discovery that Gilbert l.. Crowell
is defaulter to the extent of over $500, 900.
Mr.. Crowell, who is now about fifty-five
years old, was for long time cashier of
the Peoples bank at No. 1876 Canal
street. In 1866 his health failed him,
and he resigned his responsible position
n the bank to take the management of
Tallman estate. In 1879 Mr.. Crowell
was induced to purchase some stock in
the Empire Mining company, joint
stock enterprise then in process
of organization to mine gold and silver
at Park City, Utah. He WAS led to be
lieve that the company owned valuable
claim. From a few hundred shares
which he at first purchased, he increased
his holding to several thousand shares
Then followed the usual experience of
men who put their money in ga hole in
the ground" The subsequent history
of the Empire mine is the old story of
great expectation, hope deferred, heavy
assessments, more expectations, disap-
pointment and collapse. There can be
no question as to Mr.. Crowell's sincerity.
He proved it by investing the whole of
his fortune of 100000 in it in the course
of few months, and even those of his
friends who were beaten SO severely do
not accuse him of having at that time
been guilty of fraud.
In moment of weakness he took
some securities belonging the estate and
hypothetical them for loan of few
thousand dollars. Like all men in his
circumstances, he intended to re-
place the borrowed money, but
the big strike that he believed the mine
was going to make did not occur and in
stead of replacing the loan he borrowed
more. His embezzlement had reached
such vast sum that he could no longer
conceal the truth. Through the me-
dunn of the family lawyer he made his
confession to the Tallmans. Heartbro
ken with the shame, the old man told
the whole story in detail and assisted in
going over his books to find the full eA
tent of his crime. The list of Mr.. Gro
Wells defalcation is an appalling one
the aggregate amounting to over $3.50, 600.
To offset these claims Mr.. Crowell
owns properties valued at $4S, 5000, but
they are encountered with mortgages to
their full value, Crowell having bor-
rowed all he could raise upon them to
put into the mine.

A Noted Pugilist Shot by a Sport

Thursday night in Chicago, James
Elliott, the pugilist, and Jere Dunn, al
well-known sporting man about town,
met in the saloon and restaurant of VIII
liam Langdon, alias Appleton, alias APP
petite Bill, ex-bunko and confidence
man, and began shooting, with the result
that Elliott was killed and Dunn wound
ed in two places Accounts differ
as to the affair. One account says Dunn
made a threatening demonstration,
whereupon Elliott rose from the table,
took up a chair and went at Dunn with
it, Dunn meantime emptying one revolt
yer and drawing another. Dunn's
statement, and that of an eyewitness, is
to the effect that he was not aware of
Elliott's presence till the latter fired,
one shot passing under the scalp
a cross the top of his head and
another passing through his feft forearm.
Dunn then drew revolver and joined
the fusilade, the crowd of twenty five
persons in fireplace making hasty exit.
Dunn fired five shots and Elliott four
Police arrived and arrested Dunn, put
Elliott in dying condition in patrol
wagon and started for the county hos
pital Elliott died on the way there and
the body was taken to the morgue. The
fatal shot was in the stomach.

Confirming Land Entries.

In the House, Friday, Mr.. Pound from
the committee on public lands, had q
bin passed to confirm certain entities on
public lands. 1t provides that:
In all cases where lands reduced in
price to s125 per acre by the act OF June
10, 1880, but which have rot been offered
at public sale at such reduced price,
were inadvertently sold at private entry
by the officers of the land department
between the date of the passage of the
act and the date of the receipt at the To-
cal offices of the instructions of the gem
eral land office relative thereto of Oct
10, 1881, the entries so inadvertently
permitted to be made by innocent pur-
chasers, and which are regular in all re-
spects except rs to time of entry, shall
be confirmed as of the dates of entry re-
spectively, provided that no valid adj
verse claim to any of such lands had at
tached prior to the date of such entry.
