A VOYAGE IN A Foe.
The Guion Line Steamer Alaska Mar
rowly Escapes Disaster.

Queenstown, Aug G-The Guion line
steamer Alaska, Captain Murray, from
New York July Goth, arrived here this
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, after a most
eyentful voyage. The Alaska encounter
ed fog the entire passage. For four days
and nights the whistle sounded almost
continuously, and the vessel
was kept at slow speed.
II is stated by some of the passengers
that at II o'clock this morning the Alaska
narrowly escaped running on the rocks on
the extreme coast of ireland, owing to
the dense fog prevailing at the time.
Had not the vessel been steaming along
at quarter speed She could hardly have
avoided striking huge rock the outlines
OF which were dimly discerned by the
passengers through the fog as the vessel
backed away in obedience to the prompt
action of the pilot. The Alaska then
steamed with extreme caution until Fast
net was sighted about two hours after
ward. The Browhead station was able
TO see the Alaska as she passed that
point.
DIDN'T KNOW wHBRE THEY WE'RE,
Capt. Murray states that at 10 o'clock
this morning he calculated he had more
than made the distance to Eastnet, and
in consequence of this he kept the lead
going and increased the lookout and pro
ceeded cautiously At IL o'clock the look
out sighted land and it was then diseoy-
cred that the vessel was west of Fastnet,
making it necessary to alter her course
more to the southeastward, the engines
were therefore reversed a short time for
this purpose, causing some of the more
excitable passengers to conclude there
had been grave danger. One of the pass
engers, Mr. Attridge, an experienced
ocean traveller, confirms the statement of
Capt Murray, and says that none of the
officers nor the bulk of the passengers

OF the jury in the Purvis case seemed TO
give general satisfaction. When the
prisoner was called into court for

a new trial, which the court overruled.
When asked if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed upon
him, Purvis replied that he was not
guilty and proceeded to deny the testi-
mony of important witnesses
at some length. The court
replied; I'VE have to take the verdict

very able lawyers who defended you with
great zeal and ability, and as far as 1 can
see you had fair and impartial trial.

1t is only by authority of the rules of
the House that the speaker appoints the
committees. The usual custom will doubt
less therefore be followed of adopting
congress.
No bills under the rules can be intro
dUoed until the committees have been
named, but the desire of the representa-
tiyes to keep pace with the Senate in this
respect will probably cause a resolution
to be passed suspending the rules so as to
permit the introduction of bills for ref

when appointed.
After the message is read both House

BARRETT's DOWNFALL.
His Acquaintanees Surprised at the
Charges Against Him.


Washington, Aug. 6.-Acquaintances
of Capt @. G. Barrett, well-known law
yer of Columbia, S. c., express much sur
prise at the arrest of the captain upon a
charge of wholesale swindling as reported
this morning in special dispatches from
Columbia to northern papers. He was in
Washington not long ago pressing his
claim to an appointment as chief clerk in
the Office of assistant encouragement
He was also a candidate for the railroad
commissionership of his state, and it is
said his chances for getting it We're good.
The accounts of his operations state that
he induced number of first-class post
masters to order ON letter heads bearing
their names and official titles from north
ern dealers large quantities of merchan-
disc and manufactured articles. Credit
was asked and Barrett given as reference.
Whenthegoods arrived Barrett it isalleged
took possession of them and sold them for
whatever he could get. When the bills
became due the manufacturers and deal
ers discovered the alleged swindle In
connection with this, Mr.. Barrett dis
posed through his postOffice accomplices
of quantities of stamps which had once
been used and the cancellation of the
stamp removed. Upon the discovery of
this the government took hand and an
investigation followed, resulting in the
captains S arrest. In default of $4,000
bail he was remanded to Jail. Additional
arrests are expected.
