A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Loaded Horse Car Run Down by a
Freight Train.

BosToN, July 81.
A narrow escape from an appalling acc-
dent was had last night. At the crossing of
the HOosac tunnel dock branch of the Fitch
burg railroad in CharlestOwn, an open morse
car of the Middlesex railway, containing
twelve passengers, was run into and demol-
ished by heavy loaded freight train. All
the passengers except |, IL. Wiley escaped
without other injury than a severe nervous
shock. The horse car driver says he stopped
as quickly as he could within 100 feet of the
track and found the gates up and everything
apparently all right. The conductor gave
him two bells and he went ahead. When the
horses struck the track man rushed out
with a lantern and shouted stop, stop"
Almost at the same time an arm of crashing
steel came through the top of the car and a
freight train without lantern or light of any
kind on the rear car backed down on the
horse car and struck it in the middle. Both
horses were thrown from their feet and they
were hurled IL feet. number of the male
passengers jumped from the car and saved
themselves, but the ladies, some of them
with babes in their arms, remained in the
car, seemingly paralyzed with fear They
were removed from the wreck, which was
carried about eighty feet, without apparent
injury. Wiley was thrown from the car,
dragged some distance beneath the wreck and
jammed very badly. His clothes were re-
duced to shreds and the skin literally torn
from his legs to the hips. His injuries are
very painful but not dangerous. That lives
were not lost is due 70 the fact that the en-
gineer of the train, which was moving slowly,
reversed the engine as soon as be felt the
obstruction. Conflicting statements are
made by the horse car driver and the gate
wstchman, and an investigation will be held

MACkEREL FISHING
In ~ Lawrence Bay IA FaiIure-Several
Vessels Return Home Empty.

GLOUCESTER, July 81
The mackcrel fishing in the Bay OF st Law
renee. has been failure so far this season
several Gloucester vessels have returned after
an absence of six to eight weeks, with no fish
except such as were taken on the passage
home. Capt w. =. Gray. of schooner Com
modore Footc, says II have been in the
Gulf six weeks, and been to all available
places for mackerel and took 80 barrels home
within three mile limit" Capt G. II, Martin
of schooner Ethel Maud. found no mackerel
whatever in the Bay Capt, w. NJ. King of
schooner John w. Bray was in the BAY six
weeks, and took II barrels of mackerel. none
in shore, went everywhere and came away
satisfied that the fishing there is worthless
Thus, the principle item of consideration in
the 81 800, 900 fishery award. is again shown
to be worthless The change in the methods
of fishing is supposed to account for the
change in absence Of the mackerel from their
old haunts. In the days of hand lines OF
600 American vessels, each with 100 or l2O
barrels of porge slivers, annually fed the
mackerel in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, gath.
ering them together in large bodies. Now,
the fsh are intercepted in their nurthwprd
movements by the selners and have diverted
from their former course, so that those who
would secure them must resort to deep seas,
instead of quiet bays and harbOrs as formerly
PRovTNCETowS, July 81.
From July 20th to this date eight vessels
have landed at this port with 2370 barrels of
mackerel and at Boston, $40 barrels. making
total of 2740 barrels The mackerel were
all taken on seal island ground and are mostly
three. The vessels report mackerel of this
quite plenty there. Reports from vessels in
the Bay Of st. Lawrence, say that the fleet are
not doing much, as the weather is very unfa
vorable. Reports from the cod fishing fleet
in the Bay of st. Lawrence dated July 90, say
that fish bait is scarce and prospect discoura.

FROM WASHING
THE CHOLERA.
A Report on its Origin and Character.

WASHINGTON, July SO.
Secretary Frelinghuysen has received from
Consul Mason of Msrseilles, the report on
the alleged origin and character Of the cholers
epidemic now prevailing az Toulon and Mar
seilies, and measures taken TO prevent its in
ception and arrest its progress together with
summary with the situation and its effects
on the seaward commerce of Marseilles and
the cities in communication with the interior
OF Europe. With regard to the origin and ma
ture of cholera al Toulon and Msrseilles, il
has been hot and acrimonious despite the
mayor of Toulon who insisted the disease was
sslatic cholera, imported by the government
transport employed in the expedition TO Ton
quin; on the other hand, the chief medical
officer of the French government supported
generally by the official journals and medical
authorities of many, has pronounced it merely
sporadic cholera, due to the filthy condition
OF Toulon and neglect of ordinary sanitary
measurers there. A committee of physicians
sent by the government made exhaustive in
vestigations and finally reported that the real
contagious asiatic cholera enlisted at Toulon
and Marseilies but large proportion OF cases
were of a mild tFpe and presented the only
recognized feature OF sparodic cholera.
The real danger was present; it appeared in
the first month of summer, six days later
Z u
1865 Both Marseilles and Toulon suffered
terribly in the cholera epidemic of 1865.
During the IA years which have elapsed since
then Marseilles has been in several import
ant respects almost rebuilt. 1t appears that
the attack of cholera this year has been far
more vigorous and fatal than in the great
epedemic of 10 years ago and all present in.
dications point TO a summer of gloom and
suffering Tor the people of Toulon and Mar
seiles.
The summary of the present situation Is as
follows. The epidemic which now prevails
at Marselles and Toulon is asiatic cholera
imported from Saigon, China, imported by
the French transport Sarthe 10 Toulon At
first the disease was 'benign." but malignity
since increased by diffusion and develope
ment under the influence continued by the
hot weather No emigrants have recently
left Toulon and Marseilles for the United
States by sea. Clean bills of health hrve
been refused at this consulate TO all vessels
clearing for ports in the United States since
the 25th of June.
