 And Left on the Ground With The
 Weather Forty Below Zero.
 TORONTO. Dec. 30.-A Winnipeg despatch says: A shocking accident occurred on an up freight special on the eastern division of the Canadian Pacific railway night before last two miles east of Nepigon. A carpenter named Gordon from Port Arthur was riding on engine 269 together with Brakeman Frederick, Fireman Harry Brunnen and Engineer Ramsay, when the crown sheet fell and the boiler burst. The frightful rush of steam blew the three first named out of the cab on the track where they had to lie in the cold with the temperature 40' below zero. All were terribly scalded and frozen. Gordon died two hours after with broken back. The fireman had one leg. broken and was badly frozen on the hands and feet. The brakeman was badly scalded about the face, but was able to walk. The engineer escaped injury.

n61E FACAd $O " AeJ A06e NA&nes
 Nathan Hale camp No. 1, Sons of Veterans, netted 6 neat sum from their package party at Loomis' Hall last night. Over hundred packages were sold at auction; some valuable, others not. One man thought he was buying toboggan when he paid his two dollars, but it was only snow shovel fixed up to deceive. John Leonard, of Westville, had ticket No. 126 which drew the easy chair. Next Tuesday night the camp will give beanbake, and General William H. Pierpont will install the recently elected officers. It was the unanimous wish of the members of the camp that Captain Farnham should accept election and a petition to that effect was signed by over two hundred, but he was obliged to decline through press of private business.

A SENSATION AT NKWARK.
A Former Connections Pastor Seekins
 Divorce From His Wife.

A Former Connecticut Pastor Seeking
 Divorce From His Wife.
 NEWARK, Dec. 30.-This city has seldom been stirred by a sensation as it is now by the divorce proceedings begun by Rev. H. H: pastor of the North Baptist church was ex- tremely popular both as pastor and preacher. When he accepted call to Trinity church in Camden it was matter of surprise as well as disappointment. The Camden church is not SO large or prosperous as the church here, but the secret is now out. AIT. Barbour could not live in the same city where his wife had proven false as he alleges to her marriage vows. He left yesterday for Cam den His wife and children remain. A week ago his lawyers filed a petition for di- vorce in Trenton. The petition sets forth that the pair were married at Springfield, Mass, in 1888; that they lived at Hartford, Ct., until 1879, then four years at New Brit ain, Ct.. and since at Newark. The petition further charges that Mrs. Barbour in 1883, 1884, 1885 and 1886 at Newark was intimate with one Charles Rolf. The chancellor is- sued the usual order returnable January 3. MT. Rolf said this morning that he was en- tirely innocent. Mr. Barbour has given the following letter for publication:
 That trouble has existed in my family for years is fact that has become known to the public. Much of the gossip that recently been circulat- ed has reached my ears and have no hesitation in saying that Of it is false and cruelty un- just to Mrs Barbour, whose character is as differ ent from what some have represented as day tight is from darkness. I he truth is sad enough, that man and wife marrying in childhood, against the judgment or their parents, have been separated and a once happy home broken up witf. blame un- doubte fly on both sides. Beyond this there is nothing that need be said except to ask of all who can sympathlze with sorrow tue exercise of that charity that suffereLh long and is kind.
 lSignedJ H. H. BARBOUR.
 Mir. Barbour said that he and his wife were but seventeen years of age at the time of their marriage. He gave up law prac- tice of $5, ,0OO or S6, 900 year to enter the ministry at lower salary, and his wife did not murmur at the change. He refused to enter into particulars of the charge against his wife save to add that the co respondent was member of the church. He declared that he would always support his wife. Mrs. Barbour denies the charges and says she had no suspicion of her husbands design until just as they were preparing to remove to Camden, when he notified her that he would apply for divorce on the ground of deser- tion, as she had refused to go to the other church with him and was determined to re- main here.

WASHINGTON, Dec 30.-President Cleve- land continues to improve. He was able to sit up nearly all day yesterday and this morning Dr. O'Reilly permitted him to re- sume work. At noon he held cabinet meeting in his private room, the President occupying chair. The President has not yet decided whether he will attend the fune- ral services of General Logan. Whether he will go not will depend upon the state of the weather and his feelings in the morning. He is extremely desi rous of attending and expects to do so if everything is favorable.
 Some of the Cabinet officers and other friends advised him to day not to go, but to save his strength for the New Year's day ordeal when he will be expected to stand up three or four hours during the reception at the mansion.

A Christmas Free at the County Home
 Card From the Managers.
 The children at the County Home on Dix we'll avenue had Q happy day yesterday, and all brought about by friends who furnished a well laden Christmas tree. In the forenoon the children were kept in an adjoining room while the tree was being hung. The tree was in the middle of a large room, and from it's boughs hung presents for all, donated by many of our citizens mentioned below. It was through the efforts of Mrs. Francis Ba- con, manager of the Home, Mrs. George Cooley and other ladies connected with the Home that the children were made happy. Te say that the children enjoyed the tree would be putting it in mild term, for many of the little ones never saw a Christmas tree before and they fairly danced with pleasure as they came into the room iu which was the tree and saw the presents they were to re- ceive. Before the distribution of the presents the children joined in singing hymn.
