THE SITUATION ABROAD.
LONDON.

LONDON, May 15.-An agent of the
Associated Press this morning called up
on leading London bankers having i'm
portant American connections, with a
view Of learning the opinions concerning
the panic, in Wall Street. The feeling
generally expressed is one of confidence
that the panic should be considered mere
ly local. They were positive it would
occasion no failures in London,
whether inside or outside of
the Stock Exchange. The general
soundness of the financial situation
here, is evidenced by the fact that there
has not even been rumors of large fail
ures. The remarkable decline in Ameri-
can securities during the past few days
attracted a new class of investors into
the market, who are stimulated already
by the cheapness of money in England,
Germany and France. A prominent
banker said it is amazing how little real

track and telescoped each other into the smoke
stack, but the heavy tenders Jumped into
the air and fell, the freight tender
upon its engine and The gravel
train tender back on the first car in the rear of
1t. Here was the scene of death. Six men
were killed outright in this car and four others
who we're fastened down by the broken tlmbers
were roasted to death. the car catching fire
from the overturned stove and burning up be-
fore the stupefed survivors could comprehend
the awful situation of their shrieking COM
pan1ons. Three men escaped from the rear
and one of them assured your correspondent
that the fire could have been extInguished had
water been applied IN time. The track itself
was CHASTITY sight. The tender Of the freight
engine stood thirty feet in the air at the side
OF the iron car that was burned and could
be seen, sitting amid the glowing embers,
twisted iron rods and dead ashes, three grin
ming skeletons. one sitting bolt upright, appar-
emily peering into the flames that
had smothered out his life as well
as those of his companions. Tt is inn
possible at this writing to get a list
of the dead and wounded but it is known that
John Nevill, John Ward John Carey and John
Hughes were burned. Pat Cassidy, who was
on the second car, was instantly killed Anoth-
er man named Shay, who was injured has just
died. At noon large force of shop hands were
on the ground, extingulshing the flames and
the wreck train was at work pulling tie debris
away and rescu1ng the charred remains. The
burned trunks of four of the victims have Just
been taken out. The remains were rever-
entity placed upon board carried
aside and laid down on the grass.
1t is expected that the wreck will be cleared
up this evening. The officials decline to say
who is to blame but popular opinion puts it on
one of the train runners. It may have been q
misunderstanding of orders. The true cause
will not be known for day or two. Mean
time thorough investigation has been ordered

An AnecdOte of TagliOni.
From the st. James Gazette.1

From the st. James Gazette.1
Like her hardly more distinguished
compatriot and fellow artist, Mario,
Taglioni ended her days in poverty and
obscurity. "You are the real queens. %
said the duchess of Berry to her on one
occasion 'syou have no insurrection
and no exile TO fear" TagIioni spoke of
ill-health and old age as things which
the artist had to dread. ssNo doubt, %
said the royal lady, ''health and youth
do not last forever; but by the time
they go you will have your diamonds,
your chateaux-you will be rich, in a
word" Taglioni, like so many other
stars, was improvident, and the dia-
monds disappeared long since. Her
marriage with Count Gilbert de Voisins
an event which took place exactly fifty
two years ago-was as unfortunate as
such unions often are. The parties
separated in less that a week. Arsene
Houssaye states in yesterdays Gaulois
that he met Taglioni and Rachel at a
dinner given by Count de Morny in
1852. They both looked grave and
stately, and had quite the air of
''grandes dames," as he puts it. A
gentleman who entered the room shortly
before dinner was announced took the
ex. director of the Coincide Franchise
aside. s'Who is that governesslike-
looking woman % he asked. Don't
you recognize her ?" said M. Houssaye,
whom the question considerably embar-
raised. "Ihat is your WIFE" Count
de Voisins seemed buried in thought for
minute, and then simply answered {:

TWELVE LIVES LOST.
By the Sinking of Fishing Vessel by
a BARK.

By the Sinking of Fishing Vessel by
Bark.
MONTREAL, May 12.-By the arrival
here to-day of the bark Venus, from
London, Eng, intelligence was received
of another catastrophe at sea similar to
that of the State of Florida, but FORUM
ately in the latest collision only twelve
lives were lost. The Venus sailed from
London April 3, and had an eventful
run to within 100 miles of the Isle of st.
Pierro. On the 28th ult. red light was
observed on the starboard by the look
out, and it was dangerously near. The
bark was proceeding along under full
canvass, running straight before the
wind, and, with a gentle breeze. was
making seven knots. The ship had con-
sequently good Roadway and was well
under command. When her helm was
put hard to port, she swung completely
around to starboard in little more than
her own length. In this way it was
sci, carrying the light to make
room for her. As soon as the bark
had entered upon her new course it was
noticed that the light had disappeared,
but this singular phenomenon had hard
ly been remarked when the hull of
schooner, for second, hove in sight
right across the bows Of the bark and
the next instant the bluff of the bark's
bow struck her on the port quarter.
The shock was very severe, although
little damage was done to the bark. Not
being the least injured the crew were
aroused and came on deck. In very
short time after the collision the
schooner appears to have sunk and be-
fore the captain, who was in the cabin.
could reach the bows, six men from the
schooner climbed upon the forecastle.
Another man caught rope thrown to
him and was the only member of the
crew of the schooner saved. The total
on board was nineteen persons, twelve
being lost. No cry was heard
from the water, and, although
the bark's boats were low
cred, none of the schooner's men were
picked up. After lying to for three
hours without seeing anybody in the
water, Capt. Anderson sailed for ST.
Pierre, whence he found the sunken
vessel had sailed. 1t was discovered that
the vessel which had been run down was
a fishing schooner Of eighty tons burden,
Which had sailed for the banks on the
27th. The first officer of the bark thinks
the schooner was sailing without lights
at the time the bark was sighted; then
the red light was lit. But when the
schooner tackled her port side, which
should have been a green light but.had
none, and to the want ofjudgment in not
clearing the vessel with the wind he at
tributed the loss of the schooner. The
night, he added, was very dark, and
from the wheel he saw nothing of what
occurred at the bow, and before striking
the watch in the bow could distinguish
the schooner only when few yards
distant. The watch at the bow did not
see the schooner until within few feet
of the bark, when collision became in
eyitable.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Man Fatally Wounds His, Wife Kills
His Son and Then Commits Suicide.

Man Fatally Wounds His, Wife Kills
His Son and Then Commits Suicide.
New YORK, May 13.-Shortly before
9 last night Isaac d. Eorehi, chemist,
aged 60, living apart from his wife, aged
As, visited her at her lodgings, in East
Seventy first Street. Their son Charles,
aged years, was playing in the room.
After some conversation with his wife.
Edrehi asked her to live with him again.
when she answered "No." Thereupon he
drew revolver and fired at her as she
turned to flee from the room. The
bullet struck her in the back, fracturine.
her spine and causing a wound which
will undoubtedly prove fatal. He then
shot his little son, fatally wounding HIM.
The father fed the house, and while
running up Seventy first Street. between
Lexington and Third Avenues, he placed
the pistol against his right temple and
tired, and fell dead upon the sidewalk.
LATER-Mrs. Edrehi, shot by her hrs-
band last night, has chance of 1ecov-
cry, though the bullet has not been ex-
tracted. She is shot the same as the
late President Garfield. The boy died
this morning.
