SHE MUST co BACK.
A Foolish Girl Who Crossed the
Ocean with n Married pTan.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Collector Magone
mas decided that Agnes Starkey, the elopinQ
English girl who came to this country with
rudolph Wunsch on the steamer Auranis
must be returned. She will be sent back
on the Aurania Saturday. Wunsch has
hung around Castle Garden since the Girl
has been held there, and made constant
efforts to sec her. Both last night and this
morning he gained admittance to the Gar
den, and was elected by the officers. He
declares that II Agnes Is sent back he will
bring her ont ngaiu. The girl has rather
awakened to the euormity OF her offence.
and her infatuation for Wunsch has greatly
weakened. She does not want to return
home, however, because she dislikes to face
her friends.
She denies that she and Wunsch bore the
relation OF man and wife on the voyage
from Liverpool by the Auranfa, but admits
that he had deserted his wife and child to
come TO America with her She declares
she Ia Is years of age and says that after
graduating from st. Edwards Grammar
School she had found employment as q
teacher at the Birmingham National
School, or her father, who IL an old ana
respected citizen of Stoke. Golding, near
Birmingham, she speaks only In affection
ate terms. Wunsch promised 20 take her
to hts fathers Ia Sprinheld, Mass, and
after getting a divorce from his wife,
marry her. That Wuusch wonld have any
trouble in getting a divorce seems never
to have occurred to him.
Agnes is rather small for her age. As
she sat In the roturda this morning with
her hand clasped In that OF her little
Austrian friend, Jennie Vernay, her long
hair falling in a single braid down her
back, she looked more like q child OF Is
than young woman Of the age which she
claims. Jennie. II Is said, is also In love
with Wunsch, and when she heard be was
coming to America she took passage on the
same steamer. She claims. however, that
she came over to be the companion OF a
lady whom she met ia England. and who
was coming over on the Nevada. The arTf-
val OF that steamer will therefore be
awaited before any action is taken In the
case.

THE DYNAMITE ACCIDENT.
The circumstances OF little Dennss
BradIey's Accident.

The circumstances OF Little Dennis
Bradiey's Accident.
Another accident, showing the careless
mess Of those having dynamite in charge,
occurred in this city late yesterday after
noon. Dennis Bradley, years OF age and
an inmate Of st. James's r. c. Protectory,
found a box containing several cartridges
near the Delaware avenue station of the B.
and g. O. r. r. Boy like. he proceeded TO
pound one. Instantly the whole box az
ploded with terrific shock, throwing she
boy some feet and terribly lacsrating bis
face and hands. He was carried into the
drug store OF Garrett f. Smith, opposite
the railroad STATEN, and DR.. John Palmer
summoned.
The little boy bore up bravely under the
severe pain, not loaing consciousness once.
He was taken to the protectory and DIR.
Ogle called ia to assist DR.. John Palmer.
Together they dressed the boys wounds
but they despair of saving his eyesight.
Tbs little lad endures the suffering bravely
and appears at latest reports to be resting
quietly. No change 10 reported in his con-
dition since yesterday.
No one is able to tell where the children
obtained the cartridges and the men on the
railroad deny that they had any in their
possession. The shock was too great and
the lads injuries too severe for powder
cartridges.

A fire 10 the stable connected with the
wood manufacturing establishment Of

completely damaged the contents OF the
stable. At $50 o'clock an alarm was sent
in from box % at % and shipley SITS. The
Friendship engine was the frat 10 arrive.
When it reached the tire streams from the
works In the vicinity we're being thrown
on 1t.
The fire was in the stable Of the Springer,
Morley and Cause works, and several
buildings were in imminent danger OF
catching On the Orange st. side is the
moulding room. full OF wood and shay
ings, easily ignited. The stable was sepa-
rated from this part OF the building by
board partition, which was burst open by
the fire. Happily the headway was
checked. Toward Fourth street the stable
is backed by another old stable. now used
as a skin room by J. Parke Postles s. Co,
morocco manufacturers. This company's
oil room is also very close to the scene Of
the fire. A wool room belonging to Messrs.
Fritz 4 Co.'S morosco works Ia on
the Tatnall street side The entrance
TO The stable was made by means
OF an archway through the large building
on Sd St and several streams were carried
through this to the flames. Other streams
were thrown from the surrounding build
ings. Immediately after the fire the
adjoining building OF Postles e Co. was
flied with smoke, giving rise to the suppo-
eition that IL was on fire, but no further evil
dence OF fire was shown. TO further
the putting out OF the fire a
hole was broken through the wall
between the skin room and the stable and
stream played on the hay In the manger.
The tiremen also cat a hole in the stable
roof, and threw water from this point.
With all these precautions the flames could
get no headway and they were entirely ex-
tinguished 10 IS minutes after the alarm
was sounded. The stall was stocked with
ey and feed, which win be a complete loss.
Little damage was done to the wood works
by water and fire. The store room con.
nected with Postles's morocco works has
lately been stocked with about $50. .OOC
worth Of skins. some OF which were dam
aged by the water. All the losses are fully
covered by insurance The cause Of
the fire is not known, although
the statement was made by
one OF the owners, that a spark from
the smokestack had dropped into the hay
NOW and kindled the fire. A fire Ia thil
vicinity thatcould obtain the least headwa
would bring down almost two squares Of
costly manufacturing bulldogs, sand throw
hundreds OF persons out OF work. Il ia the
most dangerous place in town for a copfla
grafton, and 1t has only been owing to tbs
strenuous labors Of the volunteer dremer
that the buildings have been saved twics
within six months.
