Crimes.

CoPEEHAGEN, April rs. The British
steamship Oakdale, commanded BY
Captain Brown, has arrived in this har-
Dor, having ON board two persons
who are very much wanted by the po-
lice of New York. They ARE Oscar
Creamer and James L. White, alias
Burkman. According to New York
dispatch these msn are wanted for
stealing $4,000 from Dix u Phyfe,
bankers and brolEess Of that city. They
had, it appears. filed in blank checks
and cashed them at The banks, Creamer
being in the employ Of the hrm. In 40
cordance with notice received from
Superintendent Byrnes. Of Nov York,
the Copenhagen police had for some
days been making preparations to cap
ture the fugitives. It was about mid
night when the Oalxdale steamed into
Copenhagen. The police were on the
lockout In boat, and did not visit for
the steamer to come up to the quay. It
seems that Creamer was also awake,
watching for an opportunity TO escape
from the vessel and land unobserved.
He was looking over the rail at the
lights Of the city when the police boat
shot into the river. And when the
policemen started to climb into the
steamer Creamer realized his position
in an instant. ,It appears that q boat
had already been lowered from the
stern of the steamer in order to carry
some one Of the ships officers ashore.
Creamer knew this fact, and while the
police were climbing into the steamer,
supposing that they were sure Of their
men, he and Burkman ran to the stern.
With the agility Of : cat the 1s-year-old
Creamer seized rope that was hanging
from the stern snd slid into the empty
boat Burkman followed, not with 90
much agility, but with equal success.
Oars were in the boat, and the two
fugitives quickly adjusted them to the
oarlocks and bent with vigorous effort
to make time away from tho steamer.
At first the Copenhagen police were
held fast for a moment with surprise at
the daring and at the energy Of the
fugitives. The boat with Creamer and
Burkman aboard was fast disappearing
in the. darkness, and the policemen
could hear the oars almost snap with
the strain as the two applied their Mt
most strength to the supreme object OF
escape. Then the boat disappeared
from view, The police, recovering their
presence of mind, were into their boat
in an instant. Every Dane is fish in
the water. and though Creamer was
evidently . good oarsman, and Burk-
man not an inferior one, they were no
match for the Danish police, The
police boat gained swiftly on the fngi-
tiyes and soon overlook them and after
q brief struggle the Americans were
overtaken and safely lodged in cells
pending extradition proceedings.

night was wrecked between 1 and 2
o'clock, about two miles east of Hustled
small station fifteen miles north Of
this city. The train was due here at

and plunged down an embankment fifty
feet, piling up the cars in a con-
fused heap Fire broke out almost i'm
mediately and added its horror to the
scene.
The train was running at the rate Of
forty miles ,an hour when the disaster
occurred and some of the cars were
smashed into fragments. 1t was mar
velous, considering the character of the
wreck, that the consequence to passen-
gers was not more serious. Two boys,
whose names are unknown. are dying
at the hospital in this city. They are
believed to he the only ones fatally in
jured, though almost everybody on the
train was more or less severely hurt.
