The sudden death of fourteen persons was q
shocking episode of an excursion made by
party from Brooklyn yesterday to Cold Spring
Harbor. Just as a barge was putting off from
the wharf at the approach of the thunderstorm
the high wind lifted tho upper deck and dropped
If upon the crowd of people below. So far as
annears from the accounts received last night
there was no bad management contnbutofy 10
this disaster. Whether the barge was properly
constructed remains to be determined Certainly
an ordinary high wind would not affect stanch-
" built craft of that description.

The " grip" in Alaska seems to have made worse
rayaccs among the natives than the smallpox dld
several years ago. Whole tribes are said 10 nave
been wiped out, and the fatalistic survivors cam
not be induced to lay in supplies for the coming
winter. The epidemic was especially fatal as the
inhabitants last year passed through an unusually
cold and changeable season, which lnterfered
greatly with hunting and fishing. 1t is consollns
TO know that wherever there are whites the In
dams have been well provided for but the outlook
for those in the interior is discouraging.

The testimony at the Goodwin inquest yes
terday confirmed the existing impression that
the shooting was done by Webster deliberately
and without any pletence Of self-defence. The
Coroners jury had no difficulty in reaching a
decision to that effect and Webster was again
lodged in the Tombs TO await the action of the
Grand Jury The interests Of justice demand
that the case be pressed to trial as speedily as
pos,ible and the public are keenly anxious for
a forcible prosecution of the perpetrator OF this
foul murder The matter has had queer
lock. which it becomes those in authority to
Use every effort to dispel. No sort of "pull''
must he allowed to interfere with the processes

We spoke the other day of the fortunate condl-
ton of Kingston, the people of which had become
convinced after short trial that they had no need
of police force, and proposed to dispense with
that luxury As the first step the Common Coun-
ell passed resolution requesting the Legislature
to repeal the law establishing police force IN
the city, on the ground of unnecessary expense
But the Mayor has felt it incumbent on him to
veto this resolution, and so Kingston must con-
tinue TO support its expensive policemen, whether
they have anything to do or not Mayor Kraft
evidently hasn't as high an opinion of the virtue
and uprightness of his felow-citizens as some OF
them have of themselves. Should Kingston, how
ever advertise the fact widely TINT it had no need
Of policemen, it might speedily find the necessity
therefor created.

Everything relating to the new scheme OF rapid
transit is of especial interest to NEWCOMERS at
the present time. Underground roads have been
decided on for both sides of the city, but reach
ing that decision does not complete the work OF
the Rapid-Transit Commission. The style of road
is vet to be agreed on, as well as details in vari-
Gus directions Just now the question appears to
be whether the four tracks-two for express and
two for local trains-shal be placed side by side or
whether one set shall be placed over the other
The question is one for engineers rather than for
laymen, though one advantage of the last-named
arrangement is obvious-that the same station
made two stories high would answer for both
services. OF course people coming from distance
would take an express train to the point nearest
their destination where such train would stop,
and then complete the journey Icy transferring to
the first local train. Interchangeability between
the two services would seem to be absolutely
necessary.

was fixed as September Is, six days after the

At last there seems TO be reasonable hope of
breaking into, if not Of breaking up, the system
of one-sided reciprocity that has for so many,
too many, years prevailed on all the transatlantic
steamships of combining the application of the
funds raised by concerts and subscriptions strictly
10 foreign charities. Americans have often OBJ
ected, but always, or nearly always, in vain, but
as they have always gone giving, it has
nauually enough happened that the British,
French, German, and Dutch captains have been
in no haste TO break up arrangement so salts
factory to their own countrymen. IL is safe TO
say that at least threc-luarters of all the col
ections have come ont of the wide-Open pockets
of American travellers. On the late trip of La
Tourraine this port, the excellent precedent was
set of raising more than $500 for the use of ST.
johns Guild. As will he seen by Mr.. William r.
Kings letter-printed in another column-which
accompanied the check, part Of the money is TO
be used for trip of the Floating Hospital and
part for a crib in the Guilds seaside hospital, at

The Herald's Washington's COR
respondent says: | learn to-day
that several vessels will shortly be
added to the Pacific squadron. The
American feet in the Pacific is re-
duced to three vessels, the Charles
ton at San Francisco and the Iro-
quois and Mohican at Honoluiu.
The Pensacola is in the Southern
Pacific looking after the American
interests in Chile. She will be
joined by the Baltimore and San
Francisco later in the month. These
vessels may be needed there all
summer.
With affairs at Honolulu in a
disturbed state, as reported since
the Charleston left there, her re.
turn will become necessary, as
American interests in the midway
group and at Samoa require con-
slant watching. 1t will be simply
impossible to have any vessels in
the Northern Pacific during the
coming fishing season unless some
of the other squadrons are drawn
upon. 1t may also become ncces-
sary to send more vessels to Chile

ManoIed by a Lion.

PARIS, March "a terrible
scene, by which well-known lion
tanner will lose his life, WAS wit
messed at the Hippodrome to day.
The spectacle of "Nero was be-
ing prepared, and enc of the feat
urts is an attack by lions upon
wooden figures arranged in the
arena to represent human bodies.
Seets, the lion tanner, had just con-
cluded the days drilling or training
of SIX lions for this performance,
and was driving them back into
their cages when one of them sui
len'y refused to enter the cage.
Seets managed to cage the remain
ing FIVE lions and then turned his
attention to the rebellious animal.
Seets armed himself with lance
and tried to dislodge the refractory
lion, but in s. doing he trlpped and
lost hold of the lance. Before the
lion tanner could regain possession
of the weapon the angry hen sprang
upon him, hurled hIm to the floor
and bit and rent him III 1t most hOr,
ribie manner. Seeis' cries for hep
soon brought another trainer 10 the
scene. The latter caught up the
lance and CALAMITY attacked the
lion, infiictins a severe wound with
the weapon. Cowed by the wound
received, the lion released poor
Seets and skunk into its cage. Medi-
cal assistance was promptly sent
for and everything possible done to
save the lion tanners life, but the
latest reports are that be is in a
dying condition.
