relative Of the murdered man, have
been following clue. They ar
rived near here just after Tdsc0tt

Dakota. They are now on their
way to this city with the captured
murderer.
The New York Sun announced
on Thursday that Mr.. Stone, the

confident they were on the track Of
the real Tascott at last. They
found that he was In the service OF
railroad CONTRACTOR at Rat Port

on the way from Chicago 10 that
place a cipher dispatch was sent to
lascott, and it Is supposed the
message warned him that detec

was missing, and all the contractor
could report 10 the pursuers was
that his clerk had my, terously dis

young man had gone further north,
aud the Chicago party started
after him. THIS is the first infor.
nation that has since been re.
ceived from them.
TascOtt is of good family, has
had excellent advantages, and is a
man of bright parts. 1t was his
choice, however, to be q criminal,

The fellow shot Mr.. Smell dead and
made his escape. The next day,

gone from the home Of his victim,
and TO whom he had partly dis

Large rewards for his arrest
were offered by Mr.. Smells widow

There was never much doubt that
he went to Manitoba. The best

suspected person to Manitoba,
where he finally lost all trace.

The killing of Captain Dawson.
the brilliant editor of the Charles
ton, S. g., NelcS and Courier, last
week, seems TO have been a muir.
der of almost national Importance.
Dawson was a member of the Dem
ocratic National Committee, was
an Englishman, who was a staff
officer of General Fitz Lee during
the late war and was widely known
and largely hOnored and esteemed.
DIR. Mellow, who shot and killed
him in the solitude Of his own Office,
is in lail and is wanted by lynchers.
Mellow Is said to be coarse lib.
ertine who had undermined the
virtue of DawsOn's French nurse,
and the latter had gone TO McDOW's
Office to expOstulate with him con.
corning it. For three hours Nc.
Dow was in the room with the dy.
lug and dead man and evidence ex.
lists that he tried to bury the body
beneath the stairway and failing
gave himself up and pleaded self
defense. This growing disposition
to shoot and kill on slight prOvOca.
ton Is cOwardlce sublimated and is
the danger that good men nova
days have everywhere to meet.
Mellow acknowledges that Daw-
son lived for more than half an
hour after he shot him, he holding
his head on his lap and trying to
revive him, but belief exists that
he may have dragged him, to COM
plete the job. When DawsOn's
body was found Mellow had strip.
ped it of all clothing but the shirt,
and IN this condition it was taken
10 his late residence. What evi.
deuce there is points clearly to the
fact that the murder was one Of
the most singular and perhaps
cruel that has shocked the public
mind since Prot. Webster in 1851
killed DR.. Parkman aud used the
furnaces and the knife aud chem
icals to conceal the crime. IL is
iuconceivably strange that if Nc
Dow shot Dawson in selt-defense,
the former should have tried for
three fOurths of an hour to keep
him from dying, without calling for
help from the streets of the city.
The stripping Of the body and
The attempt at burial under

abandoned because owing to
the nature of the soil, he could not
succeed at it, rather stamps it as a

bloodedness has few equals in

NORFOLK, VA, March l6.-Since
Thursday morning a terrific gale
has been raging oil the Virginia
and North Carolina coasts, and
now that it has somewhat abated,
reports Of shIpwrecks, suffering
aud death are being received with
distressing rapidity. The latest
news of disaster and loss Of life
was brought in this afternoon by
the star line tug Argus, of Phila.
delphia, Captain Bartlett, who re-
ported that the American bark h.
5. Pettingill, of Portland, Me-, Cap
tain e.. g. White, Is lying on her
beams end IN Chesapeake Bay, at
the tail end of the "IlOrsc Shoe y
which is about five miles from the
cape. The bark has been com.
pletely knocked to pieces by the
choppy sea and lies in five fathoms
OF water, directly on the edge of
the channel, and in the course FOL
lowed 10y incoming vessels. Her
masts are projecting in the water,
but not a piece Of rigging is left on
them.
Not sign of life was visible
when the Argus passed the wreck
and a closer examination revealed
the fact that not a soul was on
board. All hands, 1t is thought,
have persisted, az no news OF any
shipwrecked crew being rescued
has been received here when, with
the conditions Of the weather for
the past two days, all classes of
vessels have sought port. 1t is be-
lIeved that the vessel fOnndered
some time Thursday pight and
early Friday morning as the wreck
age from her was being washed
ashore near Little Creek inlet yes.
terday afternoon. If the crew were
rescued old mariners say that they
would have certainly been heard
from by this time as no steamers or
other craft passed out the capes
until yesterday afternoon, and at
that time The bark's wreckage was
being washed ashore.
The Pettinglll left Baltimore on
March 2d for Boston, loaded with
coal. She had only arrived at
Baltimore a week before she
started on her last cruise, having
come from Valparaiso. On that
cruise she was blown ashore at
Virginia Beach by a northeasterly
wind. While she was ashore and
about the time her crew were about
to abandon her the wind changed
around to the westward and she
was hauled off with the assistance
of the life saving crew, who had
been waiting TO take oil her crew.
Captain White had his family
aboard at that time, but on his ar
rival at Baltimore sent them to
Boston on the steamer Allegheny,
Captain II. Parker, which also
passed the wreck to-day and re-
ported It. Captain Parker, with
tears in his eyes, talked OF the loss
OF Captain White and his crew OF
thirteen, and related That ne had
only landed the drowned captains
family in Boston on his last trip.
lie said Captain White was a
worthy man and he felt great sym
pathy for his family. This wreck
emphasizes the necessity, long
since urged, for a life saving STATEN
at the point named, which has for
many years been one of the grave
wards of Chesapeake hay.

P. R. R. MATTERS EXPLAINED.


Walls VIII in Future be the Transfer Sta.
tion for the p, V. & CA Talk With
Robert Pitcairn.
There is no foundation for the rumor cur
rent in financial circles yesterday, to the
effect that the Pennsylvania Railroad con-
templated abolishing its shops at East Lib
erty, and, as we'll, had in view the removal
of the stock sale yards to some other To-
cality.
Superintendent Pitcairn was called upon
and informed that the rumor received more
or less credence uptown, and was asked to
affirm or deny it. He said that the first in
timation be had Of any such proposed action
on the part of his company was what he
had Just been told. Mr.. Pitcairn stated
that there was no truth in the story.
What probably occasioned speculation in
the matter was the action of the company in
arranging for a removal from the Pittsburg
yards of the transfer station to Walls sta
ton; all freight arriving over the Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston road being
at present transferred in the Pittsburg
wards For this purpose the company is
extending its four-track road from Brinton
to Walls, and for a year past has been build
ing extensive shops and sheds at the latter
station. This step is deemed necessary from
the circumscribed area of the Pittsburg
yards and the yearly increasing volume of
traffic which has to be handled. 1t was
learned that instead of the East Liberty and
Torrens shops going into disuse in Conse-
ouence of the removal of the transfer sta
ton, that it was probable the company
would find it necessary to put the shops at
these stations into yet more extended use.
The amount of money proposed to be ex-
tended in this direction will exceed 81 ,OOO,-

deed, as in all the legal documents Mrs.
Schenley has recently executed, she describes
herself as "Mary e. Schenley, native Of
the United Slater" This, he said, showed
that the lady was loyal to her country, and
without wishing to be extensively obtrusive
in her national assertion while in England,
at the same time she preserves her American
afiliation.
Mr.. Carnahan further explained that when
conferring with Mrs. Schenley about the
park he had suggested to her that as she
had paid nearly 1000 taxes for the current
year on the tract, and as the year was not
vet completed, it would be a good plan to
so condition the gift that the city should ap-
propriate half that amount toward the I'M
mediate improvement of the park. But to
this the magnanimous lady objected, saying
she had no doubt the city would not be in
the least backward in appropriating all the
money necessary to beautify the place as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Magee moved that Mr.. Heating be
authorized and instructed to draw up two
sets of resolutions, one accepting the dona-
ton of the park and the name, and the other
recommending the purchase of the 100 acres
to Councils. This motion was agreed TO,
and the committee adjourned.

He Used His FascinatiOns on IN Irish Girl,
but Went to Soup.
NOrah King, pretty young Irish girl,
who has been only about four months in the
country, started from her temporary home
In jamestown, N. Y, to join her friends in
Allegheny on Tuesday. While on the train
she was several times prosecuted with the
attentions of professional masher, who sat
beside her and behind her for several hours
during the journey.
At last the girl appealed to the conductor,
who led the offender by the ear into the
smoking car, where he was placed in charge
of the brakeman. Upon the arrival Of the
train at the Pittsburg and Lake Erie depot
late on Tuesday night the girl was quite
hysteriesl. Lieutenant Banker, Of the
Southside, to whom the case was reported.
detailed Officer Burke to escort the girl
home, as through fright she was utterly IN
able to take care Of herself, and the officer
accompanied her to her friends at 40 Cory
street, Allegheny. The masher had jumped
the train while passing through the Lake
Erie yards, but the police have good de-
scription of him, and if he remains in Pitts
burg he will stand good chance oi learning
the trade of barrel making.
