The sad Scene which Occurred at the
Grand Central Depot, MY.
New YpRS, December 6.-A small but
berry sad group were asSenOTo3 in the Hud-
son River depot last night, consisting OF q
man, his wife and four children, one Of
which, little girl of six years, was in her
fathers arms dead The family came from
Hamburg in the steamship Bohemia, which
arrived last Wednesday morning. Their
destination was Trenton, Oneida county,
n. Y, wheye they were to meet friends and
make their home The little girls name
is Ida Rosa Schmidt. During the voyage
she became sick, aud was attended By the
ships surgeon, whose efforts proved OF little
benefit.
On the arrival Of the vessel her father
took her in his arms and carried her ashore,
The family remained in the city until last
evening. when they decided to proceed on
their Journey, and they intended to take
train at 9 o'clock. The child died shortly
before il was time for the train to start, and
an officer who witnessed its death took the
party TO the station and summoned Coroner

CRIMINAL INDICTMENTS.

What SIay.Result from the Inquiry Into
the Cincinnati Election.
WASHINGTON, December 6.-There are
indications that the investigation into the
appointment of Deputy United States Mar
shals at the October election in Ohio may
lead to a number of criminal indictments.
The Follet resolution adopted by the House
on Tuesday directed the Springer Commit
tee to summon witnesses and immediately
several subpenas were issued for men who
were seen a. the polls wearing deputy mar
shall bsges. Some of these men have an
nounced that they were not deputy marshsls
and wore the badges for no other purpose
than the effect Of display.
Partisan members interested in the inves-
'tigation, say these men will be held to an
swer the penalties Of law on the subject,
enacted April 18th, last. The act provides
that every person who with intent to detraud
either the United States, or any person,
falsely, assumes or pretends to be an officer
or employe, acting under the authority OF
the United States, or any department, or
any officer Of the Government thereof,
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall
be punished by fine of not more than
81 600. or Imprisonment Of not more than
three years, or both. An effort will likely
be made to show that the object Of these
men in wearing deputy marshal badges was
to influence or intimidate voters at the
polls.

Snits to Obtain Possession of COntiscated
Land In Maiden, Macs.
HALIEAx, n. s., December 6.-About the
time Of the American Revolution Peter
Tufts emigrsted from England to MaSsachu-
setts and settled on the site Of the present
city of Maiden, where he acquired BY pos
session and purchase large and valuable
portion of the ground now covered by the
city. He left only one child, a number Of
whose descendants now reside in Nova
Scotia. After a number of years Of peaceful
enjoyment and occupation ofthe property he
temporarily left it, and his descendants
claim, and say they are prepared to show
that he was lost in a merchant vessel owned
by American patriots The property, how
ever, was cou6scated by the Government,
and has since been sold, built upon and oc-
cupied. The Government claimed the
right Of conGscatiOn on the assumption that
lults had become l.oyalist, and had gone
to the Provinces to reside. The claimants
consider that BY proving their case as
above stated they can have the
confscation set aside and claim
the value of the property from the
Government, to which the present posses
sors will in such event have to look for re-
dress. A lawyer of this city is now acting
on behalf of the heirs here and in the States,
and intends taking active proceedings In the
matter. He saws the Statute Of Limitations
does not apply in this case, and anticipates
mo particular difficulty in sustaining his case
The property now amounts to very large
fortune, and the participants being long

the State having been bought up by Others,
the claimants will not number over hity

ing in TUFTS Cove, Dartmouth, WoltYille,
