In appointing Gen. John NJ. Corse post
master for Boston, Mr.. Cleveland has done
far better than he did when he selected Eben
f. Pillsbury for collector Of internal reve-
nue.. General Corse is the hero of the fight
in which General Sherman used the famous
expression, Hold the Fort" which is said
to have suggested the well-known song of
that title. This battle was the defence of
Altoona, Ga, in October, 1864. The rebels
were trying to break General Sherman'S
communications, and destroy his supplies at
Altoona. General Corse had less than two
thousand men with which to withstand a
force many times larger. When Sherman's
signal was interpreted to him, he sent the
answer back, Il have lost a cheek bone and
an ear but can lick all hell yetl' The
rebels didn't get into Altoona. General
Corse has been a prominent Democrat in
Massachusetts, though he hardly belongs to
the dominant wing of the party. He does
not believe in the patron saint of Massachu-
sets Democracy, Ben Butler, and did not
support him when the latter was the nomi-
nee of the Democratic party.

General Sherman for the good work he once

Microbes, Ferments and Moulds. By E..
l.. Frouessart. This is another of the Inter
national Scientific Series, adapted to interest
and instruct many classes of readers. The
intelligent man who wishes to take part in
scientific discussions, the lawyer, twho has
to treat of a question of hygiene in the pres
ence Of experts engineers, architects, manu-
facturers, agriculturalists, can all
find in this work clear and precise
notions on microbes, which it would be diff
cult to CLEAN from beoks designed for physi-
clans or professional botanists. Numerous
questions of practical hygiene, which con-
Germ domestic economy, agriculture, and
manufactures, and which are connected with
the study of microbes, demand general at
tention, and are pertinent questions in a
work like this. 1t is obviously desirable to
make every one acquainted with the precepts
of hygiene, which cannot become popular
until they have penetrated into the habits
and routine of the peoples life. The Illus
trations are good, and one hundred and
seven in number. (New York. d. Appleton

The Life of Robert Fulton and History of
Steam Navigation is the latest work of
Thomas w. Knox, who has written great
many admirable books for young people,
books which are scarcely less attractive
to the older Robert Fulton not only invent
ed the steamboat, but the submarine boat
was the creation of his brain, and it was he
who first demonstrated the possibility OF
blowing up vessels by means of the subma-
rine torpedo. Fulton's life is, therefore, not
only history of the rise and progress of
steam navigation, but it takes much wider
range. Mr.. Knox gives us an account of Full
toms inventions free from technical jargon
and ineligible to the general reader, while
at the same time, scientifically accurate. The
style of the book makes it attractive reading,
while its facts make it a work of permanent

The Rear Guard of the Revolution. By
Edmund Kirke. This volume is of stirring
interest, depicting the work of three men,
John Sewer, Isaac Shelby, and James Rob-
ertson, characters worthy of ithe heroic
ages, and exerting a most important infu9
ence in shaping the doctrines of this country
The author derives his material largely from
original sources, and the work was suggest
ed by the venerable DR.. Ramsey, so long
president of the Tennessee Historical Socie-
ty, who in his youth intimately knew Sewer
and Robertson. This record of the planting
Of civilization beyond the Alleghanies is, as
might be supposed, full of variety and vigor.

The Week at the Academy.

Next week Jersey City theatre-goers will
have the pleasure of seeing Mrs. D. P.
Bowers in John Brougham's greatest work,
'Lady Audley's Secret" As tragedienne
Mrs. Bowers is one of the best in this
country. Mrs. Bowers is thoroughly at
home when she treads the boards. She
treats the part of Lady Audley with an in
tellectual construction of the requirements
of character to suoh an extent that few can
separate the actress from the character it
self. As Queen Elizabeth in "Mary Stu
art" it is the unanimous opinion Of the
press that she has no equal. The Pitts
burg Times speaks as follows:
Gas the desperate, vain and self-willed
Queen Elizabeth, Mrs. Bowers invests the
character with characteristic excellence.
Her portrayal was revelation of her
natural dramatic instinct and irresistible
magnetism. The close of the fourth act
was a climax of all the high tragic re-
quirements of the character, and she was
twice called before the curtain.
Mr.. Joseph Wheelock as Robert, Earl of
Essex, developed into unusual strength in
the fnale of the same act, and deserves
his hearty recall"

THROUGH A RAILROAD BRIDGE.

Serious Accident Mt Dundee Lake Brake
man RawlInson's Miraculous Escape.
An accident Of very serious character,
but which forum Unattended by
any fatal results. happened on Friday
night on the New York, Susquehanna and
Western Railroad at the bridge which
CROSSES the Passaic River at a spot where
the river is damned up and is known as
Dundee Lake. Through the breaking of
coupling six box freight cars plunged
through the bridge into the river, carrying
a great part of the bridge and brakeman
with them. The brakeman luckily escaped
with his life, only sustaining slight in
jury to one hand. His name is Daniel
Rawlinson.
According to the information obtained
| from the railroad authorities yesterday
morning, it appears that the New York and
Susqaehanna Railroad Company is build
ing a irst-class new wrought iron bridge
at Dundee Lake, over the Passaic river,
two OF the three spans being completed.
On Friday night at a quarter past ten
o'clock, or few minutes thereafter, the
eight o'clock freight train from Jersey City,

laundering along at pretty good rate of
speed. the read being down grade as 1t
approaches the bridge. As the train
passed on the bridge the couplings be-
tween the first car and the engine snapped,
owing, it is believed, to the car leaving the
track. The engineer, Quick, felt the jerk,
and instantly divining what had happened,
put on all steam, when the engine, released
from the strain of the train, plunged for
ward rapidly and cleared the bridge in
safety. Not SO, however, the train. The
first Car was lifted off the track and after
ploughing along the bridge flooring a few
feet plunged through the side of the
bridge into the river, dragging five more
box cars after it. The brakeman, Rawlin-
SON, went down with the cars, but miracu-
lousy escaped death, and only sustained
an injury to one hand, which was slightly
crushed. All traffic over the bridge, of
course, was completely stopped. Yester-
day morning trains to and from places
west of Paterson were run over the Erie
Railroad, between Hawthorne and West
End stations, and no delay, it is said, was
caused to passengers thereby. Local pas
sengers were carried acress the river in
stages over the public bridge short dis
lance from the railroad, there being
delay of about five minutes only.
Superintendent McKelvey and a wreck
ing crew went to the scene of the accident,
yesterday morning and it is expected that
traffic over the bridge will be resumed this
morning. Only one span of the bridge
was carried down. The extent or amount
of the damage could not be ascertained,
but it is not expected to be very great.
The cars were removed from the bed of
the river without much difficulty. The
brakeman Rawlinsons escape from death
was generally comu cnted upon yesterday
morning in the yard at Jersey City as
very remarkable occurrence.

4 L1YELY CIRCUS.
In Which a Hobolken Real Estate
Agent and His Wife Figured.

NEWARK, Sept. 25.-On July Is, 1885,
Joel jenkins, residing on Linden avenue,
Montclair, leased his property to John
Crsyier, of the well known Hoboken real
estate firm of Crevier Brothers. Jenkins
reserved the right to keep his horse in the
barn and one room in the house for his
coachman. which was agreed to in the
lease. George 7. Bunten was engaged by
jenkins to cart some hay into newly
erected barn put up expressly for that
purpose. As Bunten was about to move
the hay, Crevier and his wife forbid Jen-
kins to take in the hay. Bunten went
after Andrew B. Howe, the real estate
agent, who told Crevier that he had no
right to interfere with Buntsn. Crevier,
who is considered a very ugly fellow,
next refused to permit Jenkins to pat his
horse in the barn again. Jenkins Was
driven out of the yard by club at the
hands of Crevier, while his wife was urging
her husband to murder the fellow. Jen-
kins, who was suffering intense pain from
the clubbing received at the hands of Gre
vler, went before Justice Pilisbury and had
a warrant issued for Crevier's arrest, which
was served by Thomas Virgins, another
officer in Montclair, and Crevier was put
under 5000 bail to keep the peace. In the
meantime Deputy Sheriff Buchanan. who
lives near the residence occupied by
Crevier, was called upon by Bunten to pre-
vent Creyier from taking the horse out of
the barn. Crevier finding the officers were
too much for him went before justice in
Hoboken and brought suit against
jenkins for 5000 damages, and
succeeded in getting a Judgment.
Yesterday afternoon Officer SiaYback of
Verona came into Montclair and arrested
officers Virgins, Bunten. Buchanan. and
Joel jenkins, the landlord, on warrants
issued by Justice Nettleship of Newark.
The officers and landlord were put under
bail to appear before the Graed Jury. Off,
Ger Buntcn stated to a reporter this mora
ing that he in no way assaulted Crevier or
his wife, and that he emily grabbed Grew
ier's arm to prevent nina from putting
pitchfork into his body, and pushed his
wife one side to prevent severe blow
over the head with a shovel. Bunten also
stated that none of the others interior sd
with the Creviers except to save their own
lives at the hands of Crevier and his wife.
The entire population Of Montclair is ex-
cited over the affair.
