The Burned Depot.

NEW YORK, August 5.-The ruins
OF the Pennsylvania depot, Jersey
City, are still smouldering. The en-
gines are still at work. Travel from
the depot is suspended. No new
casualties a1e reported. At the Penn
slyvania railroad Office, in Philadel-
phia, the loss of last nights fire, at the
ferry house, in Jersey City, is esti.
mated at 100000; fully covered by the
company's insurance, there being nc
outside insurance On the property.
Officials state the tracks and depot
shed were uniDjured; and there will
be no interruption to travel, as passen.
gers will be transferred to and from
New York at the Adams Express
pier and the pier adjoining.
The loss by fireis estimated at $780,
600. Several hundred men are EN-
gagged cleaning away the debris. A
barricade has been erected across the
river end of the depot and stairs, now
leaning and arriving within two hun.
dred feet of their former position.
Temporary railroad offices have been
located at TayloI's hotel. A vast
quantity Of books and records were
destroyed, but valuables and plans dre
in the safe, which is too hot to open
The company will rebuild the depot
on an enlarged scale at once. Nc
lives are known to be lost.

AN UNUSUAL CASE.

KEY WEST, August 4.-Mate Walk
er, of the Julia Baker, who has been
personating Capt. Lewis, the dead
master of the vessel, was to-day ar
raigDed before Commissioner Locke
on charge with running away with
the vessel and disposing of the cargo
The testimony proved the master
was sick when the vessel sailed, and
continued so for six days. On the
sixth day the man at the wheel saw
the captain fall from his chair in the
cabin. He was picked up by the mates
and steward and laid on a mattress on
the cabin floor. They then admins
tered something to him from bottle
and the master died in few minutes.
Mate Walker then changed the YES
seI's course so as to reach Bahama
islands. He was originally bound for
Trinidad.
Arriving OF Fortune island, the
mate sold the deck load of lumber and
went to Inaque, where he sold some
flour and bread. The vessel was then
taken to an uninhabited island where
she met small schooner. The meet
ing had probably been arranged at
Inanagua. Later the vessel took on
board 120 barrels of flour and depart
ed, the mate going with her Walker
returned with her in five days, having
been able to sell only IL barrels of
flour. He gave the small schooner 20
barrels for her services and she left.
The steward ran away in her, jumping
on board over the Julia Bakers stern.
The latter came directly to this port,
where the balance of her cargo of flour
was offered for sale at So per barrel.
Walker was held in $1,000 for trial to
the November term of court.

PERILS OF THE SEA.

QUEENSTOWN, August 4.-Th,
steamer Australia. which arrived here
to-day from New York, reports that
she spoke the Monarch line steamer
LydiaD Monarch, Capt. Higgett, which
/ left London July 19 for New York
on Thursday last, in latitude 48 north
longitude 80 west, heading southwest
in disabled condition, She refused
/ assistance.
Mr.. Seacord, of Galesburg, Ills, a
who boarded the steamship Australia,
says, after leaving London, the Lydian
Monarch experienced some rather Sc
Veie weather.
Everything went along very well.
however, until o'clock in the eveD-
ing of July 20. AT that time, when
the saloon passengers were at dinner,
sharp, quick explosion was heard,
terrifying many passengers and shak-
ing the steamer violently, as though
she had struck rock. The chief en-
gineer rushed to the engine room, the
PASSENGERS hastily following. There
was considerable excitement until it
was discovered that the damage was
confined altogether to the bursting Of
cylinder. All efforts to repair the
damage failed, as well as the attempt
to work the low-pressure engine
Notwithstanding that all the canvass
was set, the steamer made very little
headway, owing to the long preva-
lence of northwest winds, and for six
days the Lydian Monarch drifted
helplessly in the trough of the sea.
Thursday, the 31st of July, the
British steamer low a, from Liverpool,
July 23, for Boston, was sighted Sig
nails Of distress were displayed and
the Iowa came within hailing distance.
The captain of the disabled steamer
boarded the Iowa to arrange fur hav-
ing that steamer tow the Lydian Mon
arch into port. To the great disap-
pointment of the Lydian Monarch's
passengers, the captain informed them
when he returned that the sum de-
by the Iowa for performing
the service was fabulous, and the
Lydian Monarch was unable even to
dream of conSenting to such towage
rates.
AT noon the same day the Australia
hove in sight and was spoken, when
the captain of the Lydian Nc march
and Mr.. Seacord both boarded that
but again no arrangement for
towing the Monarch was effected.
Mr.. Seacord AYERS he is unaware Of |
the reasons why no such arrangement |
was made. He decided to remain on
board the Australia.
When last seen, the Lydian Monarch |
was drifting south. Mr.. Seacord eX-
pressed the fear that her supply of |
provisions will not be sufficient to |
hold OFT till she meets with another |
vessel, as she is far out of the regular |
rack of the Atlantic vessels.
NEW YORK, August 4. = Agent |
O'Connor, of the Monarch steamship
inc, says Capt. Huggett, of the Lydian
is the most prudent anu
,killful officer the steamer ever had.
She has six weeks provisions, and the
sgeRt has no doubt the vessel will ar
i've safely to port.

SOLDIERS HOME.
Another Scandal Stirred up by an Inves-
tigating Committee.

Another Scandal Stirred up by an Inves-
tigating Committee.
DAYTON, o., August 5.-The sol.
diers' home congressional Investigate
ing committee convened this morning,
continuing the examination Of wit
nesses. The testimony revealed dives
of infamy into which the soldier is
inveigled, robbed and sometimes MUIR
dered. Many resorts, out of the cor.
porate limits of Dayton, seem to be
out Of the Jurisdiction of the law.
Even those within the city are not
molested by the authorities, and COM
pare with any of the most depraved in
large cities. Many soldiers who come
to Dayton, become drunk and disor-
derly, are arrested, removed to the
home and then punished.
EX-representative Mcmahon said
the universal complaints from the
soldiers pointed to harsh treatment un-
der the rules. Politics had caused a
change of management, and all the
changes in the rules and discipline,
were charged by the soldiers. The
former resident manager said the SOL
diers complained unusually Of strict
discipline, and unjust punishment.
They wanted some one to complain
to, but did not lay their
grievances before Gen. M. r.
Patrick, governor of the home. This
would be obviated by the resident
managers, but Col. Harris, present
resident manager, lived in Cincinnati,
and the soldiers could not see him but
once a year.
1t was believed the home should be
more hospital than a garrison. The
soldiers had done their work, and this
should be their reward. Disorder
outside could be dealt with as
other diSnrderlY citizens are

WASHINGTON. August 5.-At the
coroner's investigation of the United
States hotel accident the testimony
given showed that Belding, proprietor
of the hotel, had known for long
time that the building was unsafe, yet
never gave word of warning to the
boarders. The owners of the building
were well aware of the dangerous
condition of the building, but took no
steps for its Improvement. The
health officer when he inspected the
sanitary arrangements of the hotel,
found it entirely unsafe, but, as his
examination was purely of sanitary
character, he MADE no report on bad
and crumbling V is. Two or three
years ago the insui nee companies 1e-
fused to insure the building because
the east and west walls were sprung.
The coroner's jury brought in YER
dict in which they say: "from the evil
dence we believe the building has
been unsafe for a long time, and its
condition was well-known to both
owners and lessees; and they-particu-
larly the owners, should be held re-
sponsible and to that end we respect
fully call the attention of the district
attorney to the matter, for such legal
proceedings as the case demands" The
owners of the building are Judge Cox,
of the supreme court of the district,
and the Phillarbe family. The les
sees are Belding &J Clark
