FROM WASHINGTON.
POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
Report of the Senate Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads.

WASHINGTON, Nav %.
The report of the Senate committee on
post offices and post roads, prepared by SEN
ator Hill, of the postal telegraph was finally
adopted today. The committee give sum-
mary of the history of the increase of debts,
rentals and stock capital of the company, its
successive leases and the consultations from
1868 when its stock capital was SO .O00, 900 to
the present time when it was $50, 900, 900.
1t is evident. the report continues, that the
price which the Western Union paid in its
stock for competing were vastly in excess of
either cost or earning capacity of the prop
erty acquired. 1t was claimed before the
committee by the president of the Western
Union that it had from time to time expend-
ed out of the current earnings considerable
money. The construction account, that is to
say in addition to its line and equipments,
is over and above maintenance. This can
not be true to the extent of pistifying the
enormous stock dividend which the
company has made, nor was the
appropriation of the current income to the
construction account sufficient to prevent the
payment of munifient cash dividends to share
holders who received in that way from 1867
to 1888, s34. 900. 900 in addition to stock div
idends of S25, ,s00,lS0

THE WARD CASE.
Alleged False Statements Made by Mr..
Ward-The Prisoner Placed in
Jail

New YORK, May go.
The counsel of Ferdinand Ward states that
no attempt will be made to secure bail for
his cliant, as if successful other arrests
would follow, and it would be impossible to
find bail for all the charges. The officer in
charge of Ward says that he will not be
locked up as long as he pays his way outside.
Affidavits of City Chamberlain Tappan,
which caused the arrest, is substantially as
follows: In September 1888, Ward informed
him that the firm was largely engaged in the
business of buying contracts of the United
States government, and that in consequence
of the delay in getting the money, the con-
tractors sold the contracts at a great sacri-
flee.
Represeption was made that Grant, Ward
& Co. could, through their influence with the
government, secure the speedy and prompt
payment of such claims, and that the profits
from these transactions were very large, and
that they had decided to give few friends an
opportunity to share these profits.
Relying on these statements Tappan ad-
vanced about S600.000. The defendant
AYERS that the .tatments were false, and
known TO be so when made
Ferdinand Ward tonight was immured in a
cell at the Ludlow street Jail. As yet no
orders Of arrest have yet been issued for j.
ID. Fish or any of the Grants.
Gen. U. S. Grant stated tonight that the
rumor that his son u. s., Jr., had fed to
Canada to escape arrest was wholly without
foundation.

A FEARFUL TRAGEDY.
A Man While Drunk Shoots and Kills
Another.

BosToN, May %.
A fatal shooting affair occurred tonight in
the bar-room of Michael Gleason, SO Howard
street. Samuel Adams and James Sullivan
were standing at the bar shaking for the
drinks. Sullivan won. When Allen laid
the money on the counter a third party,
named Hansell, who had been watching the
proceedings, covered the money with his
hand, when Allen began to accuse him OF
taking the money. Allen, who was drunk,
drew a revolver from his hip pocket, and at
first pointed it at Sullivan, saying: 81 aul
going to shoot you" He pulled the trigger,
but it failed to go off. Sullivan made some
light remark. when Allen wheeled round and
discharged his revolver point blank at Han
sell. The ball entered Hansell's left breast,
directly through,the heart.
The murderer Immediately after the shoot
ing made his way to the street, and present
ing the revolver at the head of one or two
gentlemen who tried to bar his way, escaped.
He was followed to fremont row, and ar
rested by two citizens, and by them turned
over to the police. He is now locked up in
the Tombs He is 3S years old, and claims
to belong in White River junction, Vt.
From papers found in the pockets of the
victim, he is supposed to have belonged in
Brockton, and to have been employed in the
shoe factory of L. C. Ward, of that city. A
card was found in his possession indicating
he was at some time member of the firm
of Briggs & Hansell, of Rockland.
The men were evidently strangers to each
other, and beyond the slight provercation
already alluded to there appears to have been
no cause for the tragedy.

MAINE DISPATCH IN.
MARVELLOUS ESCAPE.
A Mill Superintendent Washed Away
With the Dam.
Especial to the Kennebec Journal. I

Special to the Kennebec Journal.
WINTHROP, May %.
Thursday morning at half past six o'clock,
John Fl. McIlroy, superintendent of his
fathers mill at North Monmouth, passed
through one of the most thrilling experiences
ever recorded. He was standing on the
bulk head of the dam, where there is head
of water Of twelve feet, when. instantaneous
ly, the whole thing gave way, engulfing him
in the rushing, roaring torrent. This i'm
mense volume of water thus suddenly liber-
ated rushed down the stream with irresistible
force, carrying everything before it. Granite
boulders weighing many tons were swept on
as though they were the merest pebbles. In this
raging torrent Mr.. McIlroy was carried half
a mile, not for an instant losing conscious
ness, and constantly struggling to keep his
head above the water. He finally succeeded
by bend in the river in reaching the bank
and crawling upon it more dead than alive.
whence he was taken and carried to his
home. Medical aid was at once summoned.
No bones were broken and it is hoped tina,
no internal injuries were received, but his
body is one mass Of bruises. On his legs,
arms and body nine-tenths of the skin is
scraped off and one ear was badly torn. How
he escaped no one can tell. The awful roar
of the water, coupled with the fact that a
man was being carried away with 1t created
the most intense excitement in the village.
The damage done is very considerable, and
will compel the closing of the mills until a
a new dam can be built
