Rosenberg, the trainmen saw a crowd Of
about thirty men pursuing a negro and
shooting at him. All the parties were
on horseback, and the crowd was rapidly
gaining on the frightened darkey. 1t
was evidently

and the horse of the pursued man was
nearly blown. The crowd disappeared
behind Il prairie island, aud the train
pulled up to the stock pen and waited

which has been amplifed by his genius
into suite an interesting little drama.
However IL may be adorned or frescoed,

Bishop is gifted in his versatility and
can change from worldly mind
edness 10 sanotimony with
great rapidlty. Nobody could
play Widow Bedott, who did not pos
sess this power, and Bishop has the
copyright naturally and concedodly.
The sententious, accumulated and
pointed reasons for changing
his condition in life could
never be rendered to any Elder SMILES,
az Bishop has learned TO do. The inter
polstions in the original have been SUE

rously encored when she sang with her

was well received as Melissa Bedott, and

'QUEENsTowN, Dot. II. - Tda Gu,
line steamer Nevada" Capt. Brennan,
from New York, October Z, for Liver
pool, arrived off here at s:l5 this morn
ng. She reports Il 's aboard and great
excitement prevails among the passen-
gers. Instead of proceeding to Liver
pool, the "Nevada' has entered this
harbOr. Her cargo has been on fire since
"Wednesday. A tender from the "Ne-
vadan has been here and returned to the
steamer with gangs Of laborers to help
subduethe fire. II brought no passen-
gors ashore. 1t is supposed the fire was
caused by spontaneous combustit n
among the cargo.
Up. m.-The Nevada passengers are
safe. Every effort Is being made to eX-
tinguish the flames.
SP.u.-The "Nevada," on entering
the harbor, had heavy list to port.
1t is stated that there was ten feet of
water in her hold. Admiral Leith-
bridge offered the services of the crew
of an English gunboat in the harbor, but
the agents of the steamship declined the
proffered assistance. No passengers
have yet been landed.
p. H.-IEe captain of the "NeVadan
denies that the fires are still burning.
The owners of the steamship expect her
TO leave Queenstown this afternoon foi
Liverpool.
At noon Wednesday the discovery was
made that portion of the cargo was on
fire. The captain and other officers wont
below and found some cotton and hops
burning. They returned to the deck
nearly smothered. Water was at once
poured on the burning cargo and the
fire got under control, after some hours.
Many otthe passengers lent their as
sistance. A large part of the cargo was
thrown overheard. The steam ey-
tinguisher did good service From
Wednesday the captain, Of.
Gers, crew and passengers work
ed without ceasing. They were
in state Of exhaustion on arrival
at Queenston, where fresh men were
shipped to relieve the crew. The fire
while under control still smouldered in
the cotton hold.
The Nevada landed seventeen passen.
gers at Queenstown and proceeded tc
Liverpool. Before sailing the Nevada
listed heavily to starboard and the
boats portsides were filled with water
TO assist in righting her. She left on an
even keel. 1t seems that on Wednesday
the flames were subdued, but AGAR
broke out Tuesday night. Some of the
officers and several ofthe crew were in
ju ed about the head and hands Will,
attempting to eXtinguish the FIRE. One
officer was entirely disabled.
