TIE BEST ARRANGEMENT YET.

Stock.
Since Thursday afternoon one Of the new
cars OF the Shellabarger Livestock Car
Company has been standing on the side
track on Maryland avenue, near Eighth
street southwest. During that time a very
large number Of persons, between 200 and
1,iO0, have visited the car and examined II
in all It's parts. One Of the most interested
visitors yesterday was gentleman well
known In this city and Alexandria, now
living In Washington territory, and engaged
largely in shipping cattle aud horses to the
northern and eastern markets. lie eX.

all the leading lines Of railroad in the
country. The special points that have beou
thus far demonstrated 10 be possessed by
the Shellabarger car are that the cattle are
stalled, thereby protecting them from TO.
Jury and being iniuredsby one another In any
manner. At the same time they have full
liberty, as they are not fastened or haltered.
While they are quiet, and II they are very
wild or unruly, the arrangements are sad
that they are Immediately controlled. Then,
again, the facilities for Watering and feed
ing are complete, the apparatus being sim
pie and easily manipulated. Another novel
and peculiar arrangement is the provision
made for emptying the troughs BY sim.
pie motion OF the lever ali the troughs are
emptied, and by reverse motion they are
thrown back in their place. All the fix
lures are so arranged that they can De re-
moved when the car is not to be used for
shipping cattle, thus saving to the railrond
companies the EXPENSE OF having 10 use
cars for the transportation OF cattle that
cannot be used except for that purpose. In
few days this car will be sent To Virginia
ana loaded with the largest cattle that eau
be found, so as to test to the uttermost the
practical working OF the new car.

Mysterious Actions and Disappearance
of a Steamer With Over 100 Passen-
gers.
BosToN, Oct. ia Herald special from
Digby, N. s., says: yesterday afternoon
the steamer New Brunswick of the inter
national line, plying between here and
Boston, left for the latter place at
about o'clock with over 100 passengers,
freight, &c. To-day the lighthouse keeper
here reported that the steamer when nearly
twelve miles off Trout Cove slowed up and
remained nearly stationary until after dark.
little after dark rockets were seen
ascending from the steamer, and
then fire burst out from the
place where tue steamer was supposed TO
be. Two captains OF fishing vessels saw
the steamer, and corroborate the report Of
the lighthouse keeper. 1t is thought by
some that the steamers boiler may have
burst, because II she had taken fife her
boats could have reached shore long before
now, as the bay was calm. Evidently
something has happened to the steamer, as
all agree that before dark she remained In
the same place for hours. Many persons
having friends on board are wild with sus-
pense.
LATER.-The steamer New Brunswick
was seen this morning all right forty miles
below Grand Manan.
