ALARMED BY THE MARINE.
The Fire Department Called Out In the
Navy-Yard ut Midnight.


John Shanahan, a marine from the Omaha,
who had been in the Brooklyn Navy-Yard
only two days. and was on sentry duty at the
east gate, passed through q good deal of ex-
element in u short time last night.
The dry dock and the Cob Dock destroyed
by fire; inflammable material about in abun-
dance; hundreds of pounds of powder gone
in blue, disagreeable, odorous smoke; q mag
azine filed with cans of dynamite near by;
were some of the visions which, 1t is pre-.
sumed, fitted through his mind.
Sentry Shanahan heard the bells of the
as he paced his post, and he thought the I'M
usual clangor meant fire. AS there was
enough powdered dynamite in his immedi-
ate neighborhood to blow him into ingdom
come, he didn't stop to investigate, but
pulled the buttons in the sentry house.

and the 100 marines of the Navy Yard De-
paitment had tumbled out of their hunks in
the barracks and were scurrying hither and
thither in search fer the fire.
They searched in vain. The utmost dill
gence failed to find q spark, and in half an
hour the engine and trnck people. the ma
rines and the officers of the yard were return
ing grumbling to their beds, while Shanahan
comforted himself with the feeling that it
was better to be too careful than 10 6e care

Accident to the Cars Train.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 3l.-The official
statement regarding the accident to the
cars tram Monday is as follows: The
train, containing the czar, czarina and
site, left Tranovka at noon Monday.
While passing through a deep gorge near
Berke the train left the rails. At the
time of the accident the car and czarina
we're in the saloon carriage at breakfast.
When the first carriage left the track the
rest of the train oscillated, and the sue.
ceeding carriage keeled over. The saloon
carriage, although remaining on the
track, vas badly shattered. The roof fell
in, but rested on a portion OF its side,
thus forming a shield for the occupants.
1t seems Incredible with such havoc that
any of the occupants of the train should
have escaped unhurt, but God protected
the car and his family, who were taken
from the debris uninjured.
Some other occupants of the train re-
ceiYed slight Commissions. The only per-
son severely injured is Gen. Scheremetief,
aide-de-camp.
The train consisted of two engines and
several carriages, besides the saloon car
riage, the latter of massive construction.
The train was running sixty-ive versts an
hour. When the first engine LETT the
track 1t plouGhed up the road bed and
imbedded itself in the earth. The second
engine ran on the top of the first and was
wrecked. The first aud second carriages
were also wrecked. They we're occupied
by lcourt servants and railway officials,
among whom was Baron St. Joinval,
chief inspector of railways, who is badly
injured. Generals Vannovski and Tcher-
evin. who were in the saloon carriage with
the imperial family, received Commissions.
The Gar and Czarina remained at the
scene some time giving attention to the
injured. Towards evening they returned
to Zosowoii, the last station they left.
Religious services have been held
throughout the empire giving thanks for
the escape of the imperial family. The
GrdShdanin contradicts the official report
of the accident in regard to casualties.
1t afhrms that twenty persons were killed
including Capt. Bresch, staff courier,
three %couriers and eight soldiers of the
railway battalion. 1t also says that eight
cen others were injured.
The imperial family passed over the
Chackoff & Nicolaieff railway last evening
on their way to Gatschina all well.
The official report says the mishap is
beyond all question due to designs upon
the emperor's life.
