A Railway Disaster.
by Cable to the United Pressl
LONDON, March 80, 1889. The great boat
race between Oxford and Cambridge was
rowed to-day. Cambridge won
The weather, which had promised fair
very early, settled into q heavy rain be-
fore the race came off and created great
discomfort among the vast crowds which
lined the river bank, and those who were
af1oat in every conceivable kind of craft.
The crews made an excellent start at
thirteen minutes past one p. M. The
Cambridge crew took the lead imme-
diately and passed under Hammer
smith bridge a boat length ahead of
the Oxford crew which was working hard.
Both crews were rowing well as they
passed the bridge, but the Oxford shortly
afterWard became muddled and were put
out of trim by bad steering. The men
began splaShing some and almost collapsed
at Barnes Bridge. Near the end of the
course they made a final squirt and did
some good work, but it was too late and
failed to win them the race. The Cam
bridge crew rowed smoothly and well
throughout the race and came in at the
finish four lengths ahead.
An excursion train from Southport,
filled with passengers bound for the boat
race at Putney, was derailed this morning
at Penistone, a place about thirty miles
beyond Manchester, on the Midland Rail-
way The train was badly wrecked and
one passenger killed. Fourteen were
seriously injured

This discovery served only to intensity

These answers seemed to make the
tracing of the identity and existence of
the men whose names Were on the pay
roll, impossible, and all the people have to
base their faith in the integrity of the pay
roll on, is the fact Mr. Maifle certifies that

The Funeral.


A number Of ragged children paused in
their play before No. 40 Fourth street
this morning and gazed curiously at the
plain hearse and carriage standing before
the door. Upstairs in her bare room on
the third floor lay the wasted form of Jane
Edsall, whose sad death THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS has already described.
Mrs. Edsa1 twenty years age was in
comfortable circumstances, but fortune
changed, her husband was convicted Of
forgery and is now serving out his sem
tence at Trenton, and Mrs. Edsall, with
her three children, had to struggle
alone to make both ends meet. Last
winter Dr. Parmly, Of the First Baptist
Church, offered to send her children to an
institution, but the mothers heart would
not consent, and she worked the harder to
buy them bread. Every day her strength
grew less, until she finally succumbed.
Her little room was crowded to-day, and,
as the venerable DIR. Parmly, through
whose efforts her body was saved from a
pauper's grave, paid a brief tribute to the
character of the dead woman, tears moisA
tened the eyes of every one who heard
him
Mrs. Edsall's two elder children, Min
ME and Willie, sat mournfully at the
head of the coffin; but little Bennie, the
youngest was in great glee at the pros
pect of a carriage ride, and prattled
and played innocently around his dead
mother, understanding nothing of his
loss. Mrs. Edsall will be buried in New
York Bay Cemetery. Her husband pro-
fessed TO be greatly moved when the news
was brought to him in prison.

Edsall, the reputed husband Of the
woman who dropped dead on the street in
Jersey City, is well known here His
father lives on Main street, and is one Of
the old residents of the city.
The dead woman was never recognized
by the family as Williams wife. He
married a Hackensack girl many years
ago, and she still lives here on the Tea
neck road, the old Turnpike With her
lives daughter, twenty years old, who,
as well as younger girl who lives with
his grand-daughters
William is said to have been married to
still another woman before he met the
one who died.
The family has known of his connection
with the woman who is dead, but has
never countenanced it, knowing that if he
was really married to her he would be
liable to indictment for bigamy.
The family never had any further
knowledge of the latest Mrs Edsall, than
that her name was Jennie. Williams sis
ter was the only one who was at all
acquainted with her, and their relations
were those of mistress and servant, as the
dead woman was domestic in the house
of Williams sister some twenty years ago.
The house of old Mr. Edsall has always
been open for his son, notwithstanding his
criminal career, which is notorious.
These facts explain the origin of the
rumors that the elder Mr.. Edsall cruelty
refused his sons wife home.

''As they looked at the stalwart form
and bloody visage of the savage and at
my own somewhat bruised and bloody
appearance, and listened to my narra-
tive of the desperate struggle, they
gave vent to expressions in regard to
my strength and prowess which brought
the tinge of pride to my cheek, and the
beautiful girl, unable to express her
gratitude in words, looked sweetly
down upon me with her love-beaming
eyes, while large pearly tear-drops
trickled down her soft and blushing
cheeks.
''And now friends from my own camp
also arrived. and greetings and con-
gratulations were extended and ac-
quaintances formed which time can

"She was the daughter of mission

"She had been accustomed to take
her morning apd evening rides. On
this occasion she had ventured further
from the station than was prudent, and
the Indian, who had often seen her at
the camp and was enamored by her
