one train last week left 700 emierants,

tinues, when the tide will have to set

Collapse of a Railroad Bridge.

BOSTON, Mass, July 25.-About o'clock
 this afternoon portion of side track in the
 Fitchburg road yard, used for storage pur-
 poses, collapsed as train was being shifted
 upon it owing to the sudden giving way of
 the piling upon which it rested. Two cars
 were precipitated into the water and now
 stand in shape of a letter "V" the ends be- ing nearly twenty feet under water at high
 tide. Charles Morris, 8 brakeman, residing
 in Troy, N. Y., who was on the platform be-
 tween the cars was thrown into the water and drowned. The company has for several weeks past had gang of men at work strengthening and rebuilding the piling under it's tracks at this point and this track together with an adjoining track has not been in use for two or three days on ac- count of it's insecurity, and it was by some misunderstanding that the train was switch cd upon this weak track to-day. Several bridge builders were working under the structure at the time, but being warned by the cracking of tinbsrs escaped with their lives

A Heavy Failure.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Levi N. Bates, dry goods dealer at Sixth avenue and Thirty fourth street, confessed judgment to-day to the amount of $126,253 One judgment is in favor of Daniel H. Mills for $50, ,000 bor- rowed money, another is in favor of Martha M. Bates upon a note of $58, ,535 and the third in favor of H. B. Olafin 6 Go. Mr. Bates estimates his liabilities at $25o, ,000 and says the assets are sufficient to pay in full. Mr. Bates has been prominent in the business for thirty two years, has been reputed @ very wealthy man and has been prominent in pol itics, and though never holding office has been mentioned in connection with Republi- can and independent nominations for Mayor. The failure greatly surprised the trade. It is attributed to dull business, te the fact MT. Bates paid too much for the stock of Conkling & Chivvis and to various outside losses. including ESQ., .000 by the failure of Metcalf Bros. & Co. of Detroit. Previous to his present business MT. Bates was senior partner of the leading dry goods jebbing house of Bates, Reed & Cooley. which vo1un- tarily liquidated in 1885 after a highly snc- cessful career

 NEW YORK, July 23.-Maud S., who has
 not been out of Mir. Bonner's stable single night this year and has not been in 8 profes- sional trainers hands, but has been driven every day on the road, trotted fast mile in her work teddy at Fleetwood. The "warm- ing-up" mile was done in 2:26 and the sec- ond mile in 2:1211S. The fractional time was: Quarter 32L, half 1:04, ,three-quarters 1:381S. She was eased the last half as she was not started to break record. The fastest mile previous to this ever trotted at Fleetwood was by Maud S.. when she made record of 2:13s4 against the 2:14 of Trinket. MT. Van- derbilt then owned her. The track is several seconds slow as compared with Buffalo. Maud S. has to her credit the fastest quarter, 30L seconds, made at Providence; the fastest half, 1:02, at Chicago; the fastest three-qusr- ters, 1:351z, made at Cleveland, and the fast est mile, 2:0S3l, made at Cincinnati. She also has to her credit the fastest mile in 8 race against another horse, 2:131S, made at Chicago; the fastest mile in double harness, 2:151S, driven at Fleetwood to top wagon by MT. Vanderbilt, and the fastest mile to skeleton wagon, 2:1311, driven by MT. Bon ner at Tarrytown. Good judges are of the opinion that she can beat at Buffalo in the next ten days her record of 2:eS3x.

BOSTON, July 23.-A party consisting of Frank Williams of Boston, Edward Delaney of Cambridge, Miss Sanborn and Miss Porter of Brooklyn, started this morning in a sail- boat for Minot's light on a pleasure trip. Charmed with the pleasantnsss of the day they ventured several miles out to sea, and about o'clock, when about fourteen miles southeast of Minot's, sudden squall struck and oapsized their boat. By heroic efforts the young men assisted the ladies in secur- ing hold upon the boat, and all four joined in cry for help. It rained in torrents and thoroughly drenched they chung to the boat for an hour. They were sighted by the steamer Longfellow on her return trip from Providence Town. A life boat was manned by three of the crew and two passengers and the party was brought aboard. They were greatly exhausted, but after being supplied with dry clothing and taking needed rest they appeared to have suffered no serious in jury from their thrilling experience. Their sailboat was picked up by a tug and lowed into East Boston.

The PrenIdent Sends Special Message
 to C0ngress-E&ect of Recent Changes
 in the Rules.
 WASHINGTON, July 23.-The President sent message to Congress today in which he gave an anaIysis of the commissioners res port, coupled with his views of the working of the laws of 1883, entitled An Act to Rsgu- late and Improve the Civil Service of the United States. Among other matters of in terest in the message the following are given: During the time covered by the report 15,- S52 persons were examined for admission in the classified civil service of the Government in all it's branches; of whom 10,746 passed and 5, 106 failed the examination. Of those who passed, 2.976 were applicants to the departmental service at Washington, 2,547 " ere examined for admission to the customs service, and 5, 1929 for admission to the pos tai service. During the same period CAT ap- pointments were made from the eligible lists to the departmental service, 641 to the cus- toms service, and 3, ,255 to the postal service.
 ''In the departmental service there occur, red between she 18th day of January 1S86- and the 18th day of June, 1887, among the employees appointed from the eligible lists under civil service rules, seventeen removals, thirty-six resignations and five by death. In
 
 number of separations among those who re- ceived absolute appointments under civil ser vice rules are given for the period between the first day of January. 1886, and the 30th day of June, 1887. It appears that such sep arations in the customs service for the time mentioned embraced twenty-one removals, five deaths and eighteen resignations, and in the postal service 256 removals, twenty yethree deaths and 469 resignations.
 In conclusion the President says: "With ! @ continuation of the intelligent fidelity which has hitherto characterized the work of ! the commission, with continuation and in crease of the favor and liberality which have lately been evinced by Congress in the proper equipment of the commission for it's work, with firm but conservative and req sonable- support of the reform by all it's friends, and with the disappearance of op- position which must invariably follow It's better understanding, the execution of the civil service law cannot fail to ultimately answer the hopes in which 1t had it's origin J

Charges Against a Boston Contractor.

Charges Against Boston Consractor'
 BOSTON, July 23.-The journeymen free stone cutters of this city have issued circu- lar to the public charging that Jeremiah Ca- Tew, contractor for various public buildings, has been for some time obtaining inferior workmen in foreign countries, obliging them to work ten hours day instead of the regu- lation nine and at wages much less than the standard; that in this way he has secured many contracts for public buildings by un- derbidding competitors, and has fagrantly violated his contracts, particularly in the cases of the pumping station at Chestnut Hill and the Horace Mann school house. Through the efforts of the Cutters association the city council has ordered public investigation in to all the work performed by MT. Carew for the cikv
