M'KANE HANDLED THE CASH.
And the Town of Gravesend Is About Half
a Million Out.

Gravesend. L. l., March 10.-Late this
afternoon it was announced that the
town board of auditors had discovered
that about $500, 900 paid to John Y. Nc
Kane during the year 1893 had not been
accounted for. Of this amount, $4,000
was in street improvement bonds; $780,
900 in sewer bonds; S255. 900 was paid to
McKane by John l.. VOORHEES,. commits
sioner of investments, according to an
act of the legislature, which was passed
at McKane's suggestion; $4,000 was re-
ceived by the ex-supervisor from the tax
collector to pay town bills; $4,000 from
the board of health for tcleaning the
town: 81, 900 from the treasurer to pay
town bills, and $500 from the excise
commissioner.
1t is said that part of the money has
been used by Mr.. McKane to pay con-
tractors and other creditors of the town,
but whether this is true or not, the fact
remains that the town auditors have no
vouchers or other documents accounting
for any part of this half million dollars.

CARS IN A HEAP.
Serious Accident to Maine Central Train
at Ellsworth.

Ellsworth, March l0.-The first acct
dent of any accounpt on the Maine Cen
trail railroad in this section since the
road was built through here ten years
ago, took place late this afternoon
little east of the city. 1t was where the
track crosses the road, near the gravel
pit, about two miles from the city. A
construction train that had been sent
for the ''puprose of making some repairs
on the track was backing in towards the
city with crew of working men. There
were about twenty men on the train at
the time. When the accident occurred
the train was running at more than
fifteen miles an hour. just before the
train reached the place a horse, owned
by Benjamin Shute and attached to a
load of wood fell on the track. Several
of the work men were standing on the
platform. They gave the alarm, but 1T
was too late, as by this time the train
was nearly on the PROSTATE animal. Inc
men had time, however, to cry out to
the others on the train to jump. Those
who jumped, five or six in mum Der,
escaped without serious injuries. AS the
caboose passed over the horse it was
derailed and. was dashed against bank
twenty-five rods away. The car next to
the caboose was also demolished.
The names of the seriously injured are
Howard MCGOWAN, injured internally,
and about the head, arms and shoulders;
William Herrin, injured internally; Nc
Intyre Anderson, injured internally, and
Miles Mcdaniel, back and head injured.
The engine and cab were not injured
much, as they did not leave the track.
Somesof the cars were piled one upon the
other, and 7he raboose from which the
workmen capped so miraculously was at
the bottom of the wreck.
Ellsworth, March 1.-THE men injured
in the Maine Central accident Saturday
afternoon will probably recover. The
track is cleared and trains are running
as usual

ALARM IN HONOLULU.
Canadian Mercenaries Believed To Be
There to Fight for the Queen

San Francisco, March 10.-The steamer
Australia arrived from Honolulu at 7.30
this morning, bringing advices to the 3rd
inst. Minister Willis invited the officials
of the government to notice Washing
toms birthday. which request they cor
daily complied with. Mr.. Willis has
manifested much cordially towards the
ministers, the other day meeting Presi.
dent Dole and strolling with him to the
presidents Office for half an hours chat.
The most serious alarm has been taken
by the government at the fact of very
large number of arrivals of steerage pas
sengers from Victoria and San Francisco
during January and February, more
than 100 in excess of what might be ex-
pected. About that number are evil
IDENTIFY Canadians and Englishmen, COR
responding to the class reported to have
been enlisted at Vancouver by Sansome.
More than 10 of these men have been
marked as wearing military badges of
honor. Sixty such men are marked as
lodging together at different houses.
They are not in pursuit of employment
and evidently are supplied with means
of subsistence. Their sympathies with
the roya lists are not concealed, as they
are known to be in communication with
them.
From various sources of information
the police authorities are entirely salts
fed that these men are persons enlisted
by Sansome. and that decisive move to
get possession of the executive building
with the aid of these men is fully,,planned
by the royalists to be executed within a
few days.
The danger, which is believed to be i'm
minent on account of the trained militia
ry character of these Canadians, is more
serious than any that has yet threatened
the government, except that during the
period of Minister Willis's hostile atti-

He pointed out that the name stood

Roman lust of conquest, and to whose
leadership the ancient Germans owed
the preservation of their nationality,
their language and their freedom. He
said that name was given me by those
who alone had the authority to confer
it, and with their consent the name
should never be altered, even in respect
