Forty Eight Hours of Danger and Excite
ment on Board the Nevada.
QUEENSTOWN, Oct l8 The Guion line steam
er Nevada, Captain Brennan, from New York
Oct Z, for Liverpool arrived off here at S:45 this
morning. She reported fire aboard, and that
great excitement prevailed among the passen
gers.
Instead of proceeding to Liverpool the Nevada
entered this harbor The cargo has been on fire
since Wednesday.
At noon on Wednesday the discovery was
made that portion of the cargo was on fire.
The captain and other officers went below and
found some cotton and hops burning. They re
turned to the deck, nearly smothered. Water
was at once poured upon the burning cargo, and
the fire got under control, after some hours
work Many passengers lent their as
sistanee, and a quantity of the
cargo was thrown overheard. The
steam extinguisher did good service From
Wednesday the captain, officers, crew and pas
a state of exhaustion when they arrived al
Queenstown where fresh men were shipped tc
relieve the crew The fire, while under control,
still shoulders in the cotton hold.
The Nevada landed seventeen passengers al
Queenstown, and proceeded to Liverpool. Be
fore sailing she listed heavily to starboard, and
the boats on the port side were filed with water
to assist in righting her She left on even
keel. 1t seems that on Wednesday the flames
night Some of the officers and several of the
crew were injured about the head and hands in
attempting to extingush the fire. One of the
officers was entirely disabled.

LoNDoN, Oct. 1.-The steamer Feruz, with
forty row-boats on board, has arrived at Dongo-
la. Osman Narriddin, an inhabitant Of Korte,
has arrived at Wady-Halfa from Khartoum,
having been fourteen days on the way. He was
present at Khartoum during the whole siege,
and says Gen. Gordon captured quantity of
guns and rifles of the rebels He says the road
from Khartoum to Sennaar is free from rebels
Gen. Gordon's steamers after bombarding Ber-
Der, Djelyeen and mimneh, returned in safety
to Khartoum Kashmil Pasha has undertaken
to occupy Berber, with force which Gen. Cor
don was getting in readiness at the time when
Narriddin left. FL AGahdi came to Shaft only
six days journey from Khartoum but on hearing
of the insurrection at Geb-el-Deir, was
forced to turn back. Before starting he sum
moned the tribesmen and villagers to accompany
him, but very few obeyed; they rather remained
loyal to the Khedive. AS ElMahdi had left Nah
moud Add ell Nader in command at El Obed,
with only five thousand troops, the Bakkara
tribesmen and the inhabitants Of Gebe-El DER,
joined by one hundred Egyptian troops, made
an attack on El Obeid and captured a number of
slaves and cattle. The attacking party was so
much encouraged by their success that they
threatened to renew the assault.
Advices from Ambukol state that merchants
arriving there confirm the reports that General
Gordon captured Shendy and Netemmeh on Oct.
g. General Gordon makes constant sorties from
Khartoum.
1t is believed that Osman Digma, the rebel

Cleveland dispatch: The unknown crank
who was arrested for prowling around the
residence of Mrs. Garfield had hearing be-
fore Judge Hutchins at the police court this
morning. The usual questions as to his name,
residence, etc., were met with evasive an
swers. When asked whether he intended to
shoot Mrs. Garfield or hurt any one, he replied
that he might or he might not. After half an
hours useless questioning by the prosecution
Judge Hutchins took him in hand and gave
him to understand that he must answer the
questions ppt to him, and proceeded himself
to put some of them. The "crank'' laughed
and informed the judge that he would answer
as many questions as he liked and according
to his own pleasure. The judge told the pris-
oner that he would commit him for contempt
unless he gave satisfactory answers, to which
the crank replied: ''All right; commit. !
would as soon be locked up as to answer some
of the questions you have asked" The judge
then ordered him committed for contempt
until Thursday next. j. H. Rhodes, per-
sonal friend of the Garields, says that he has
seen the man before and that he is from an
eastern city; the name ne did not choose to
give at present. The prisoner is about 50

1he RauscGy Managers adjourn Without
accomplishing Anythi,ig.
The western railway managers held another
long session at Chicago on the 18th, and final
ly decided, after five days of consultation,
that any joint agreement with view to the
formation of pools on Colorado, Utah and Ne
hraska business was not possible in the pres
ent temper of the roads. AS one of the man.
ayers expressed it, ave have fought ourselves
to standstill. AS was thought probable at
tne outset, the tripartite agreement has proven
bar to nycompact which would be satisfac-
tory to the Burlington and Northwestern
roads, and the Milwaukee and ST. Paul and
Rock Island roads holding out for its continu-
ance prevented the formation of any new
combinations. This was conceded on all sides
at the secret session of general managers on
the last day, and the resolution Of the day
previous to adjourn and leave matters in statu
quo was again brought forward and carried.
III was decided by unananimOuS vote to leave
matters as they now are for ninety days, but
In the meantime to strictly maintain tariff
rates. Another session will be held to decide
upon tariff. The meeting also decided to
appoint Joseph +. Tucker as joint representa-
tive of all the lines, to see that tariff rates are
maintained. The agreement to sustain rates
carries with it no penalty, this matter being
left to the integrity of the several lines. In the
meantime, if any further attempt is made at
arbitration, it will necessarily be at the sug-
gestion of one or more of the roads hereafter,
as no time has been named for further ne
EQUATIONS. AS result of the conference,
however, it is expected that the newly formed
California pool will be maintained, the details
of which are now being perfected. The lines
interested in the transcontinentaI association
held another session, perfecting the details of
that organization.
