party of nine persons while crossing the track of
the Lake Shore railroad between Oak Harbor and
Port Clinton, o., at an early hour this morning,

the number, Stephen Hall of Detroit, and Miss
Jennie Hoople of Wauseon, O., killed. Miss A.
d. Thierwechter, Mrs John Vogel, and Mrs.
Charles Vogel, of Oak Harbor are probably
fatally injured: John Vogel was seriously in
jured, but will probably recover. The party
had been to Port Cir ton, to attend ball, and
were returning to Oak Harbor when the accident
occurred.
LATER.-Mrs. John Vogel has died of in
juries received, making three victims of
the accident, and her husband is not
expected to survive. Charles Vogel has
a leg broken, and is otherwise injured
The accident took place at a point two miles west
OF Port Clinton, where the wagon-road crosses
the track obliquely. The night was foggy, and
the driver of the sleigh did not discover the ap-
preaching train until he was nearly upon the
track, when he attempted to cross in front of it.
The rear end of the sleigh was struck by the en-
glne. Three OF the occupants we're thrown on
top of the pilot. in front of the boiler, and the
others hurled into the snow at the roadside. The

Miss Hoople, who were killed instantly, were
placed In coach and taken to Oak Harbor.

Among the many narrow escapes reported was
that of the passengers on the Citizens line car,
which was passing when the explosion occurred.
The windows of thecar were shattered and bricks
and debris fell down upon the platform. A
daughter and niece of w. S. Bissel, who were in
the car, were covered with shower of dirt and
broken glass, but protected their faces with
their muffs, and thus escaped injury. People
were thrown down nearly square from the

which had been hurled nearly 200 feet. Citizens
who reside near where the explosion took place
have been very much dissatisfied for some time,
and have even threatened to tear up the pipes of
the Fuel Gas Company. Last week number
OF them consulted in regard to
taking legal action against the com
pany, compelling them to make the
pipes safe beyond any possible doubt and action
of this nature would have been taken in a few
days. The indignation against the gas company
runs very high and threats of tearing up the
pipes are freely made. State Senator Upper
man is engaged in drafting bill to compel coun-
ellis to take measures for the safety of the peo-
pie. Messrs. Baumann & Vogle who own the
buildings 34Gl and 3403 Penn avenue, will
at once bring suits for damages against the
Pennsylvania Fuel Company, and many of those
injured have already declared their intention OF
doing the same thing. The cause of the explo
sion was big leak in u huge main of the Fuel
Gas Company which runs along Penn avenue
close to the curb.
The threats of the people living in the vicinity
OF to-day's disaster to tear up the pipes not
carried out the counsel of cooler heads prevail
ing. 1t is thought, however that measures will
be taken to prevent the piping of natural gas
through the streets until safety pipes are adopted
by the various companies. All the victims oi
the explosion are still living and resting easily

Fight at Metemneh.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-Dispatches to-day from
Korti. describing tho situation of General Stew
arts forces at Gubat make it plain that the
Mahdi's men have arranged to make stubborn
stand in Metemneh They are so well situated
there that it has been deemed advisable to await
reinforcemeets before assaulting the stronghold.
As soon as reinforcements, now on the way,
reach Gubat, General Stewards force win en-
deavor to take Metemneh by storm. The action
of the troops after that will largely depend
upon General Gordon. Neither General Stew
art nor General Woseley has any
idea what he is likely to decide.
The plan of action favored by General Wolseley
is to have the garrison at Khartoum brought
down the Nile in steamers to Metemneh as soon
as the British have secured that place. This
would practically effect the object of the expedi
ton, and end the war; but it is feared General
Gordon. when success has crowned the hard
work of the expedition, may positively refuse TO
be relieved, or allow his faithful garrison to GO
There are reaso ms for believing that he will in

a government there. If he does, then General
Stewards forces will be pushed forward, and
will attack the Mahd at Omdurman
1t is believed General Earle's force will meet
the enemy at Abu-Hamed or short distance.
below The Mahdi has assembled large force
at Abu- Hamed If battle be given there ana
the British prove victorious. the result will likely
be to induce the enemy to evacuate Berber, espe-
cially as they know General Gordon's steamers
can be used to operate against them from the
south. II General Earle succeeds in safely pass
ing Abu- Hamed he will be able to make much
more rapid progress, as his route On the river
will then be south instead of east, as now, and
he will have the benefit of the north winds.
Advces from Korti state that General Earle'S
army is proceeding to Berber by the Nile route,
and is experiencing much difficulty in dragging
its boats over the cataracts below Abu- Hamed
This delays the progress of the expedition, which
otherwise, thus far, has been successful

on board the British bark Wellington, was re-
sumed at Plymouth this afternoon The pro-
ceedings were much delayed by a very suspicious
circum stance reported of the Wellington just
as the coroner was about to commence the hear

the mud at her anchorage; tugs were procured
and she was pulled off and anchored elsewhere.
This morning the craft was found away from
the site Of the second anchorage and stranded
upon the beach directly under Plymouth hoe,
between the city and the sound. She was
cleared off third time anchored, and then
placed under the surveillance of the police It
is suspected that those members of the crew
who were more or less implicated in tho killing
of Armstrong, but who have managed to avoid
arrest in their anxiety to help their loss fortu-
nate comrades by destroying all possible evil
dence against them, slipped the ships cable, dur

out and be wrecked and sunk.

She deprecated her brothers association with
Langtry. and in general was less giddy than he,
but none the less devoted to such diversions as

domestic tribulation, and she did not return to
her Fifth avenue residence but remained at her
fine place in Newport. On visiting town she
stayed at hotel. Rumors of application by
her for divorce have been in circulation but are
now denied. The professional gentleman who

importuned to call at III West Forty-first street

matronly woman, who processes to be the
mother of the girl, who is herself bright
creature of no. more than twelve years, but pre-

her desire for encouragement in her art, which
really does not relate TO painting but to leading
the visitor into indiscretion, for which he pays
purse. This trap for the unwary has been in
operation for months. and is thought to have
caught great many men.
