of the Confederate states, to Abraham
Lincoln, president of the United States.

The incident of the finding of the
mine being the first Of the kind in the
war public attention was generally d.
rected TO il. and the people of the
north were in a measure prepared by it
for other similar surprises the Confed-
crates were to attempt later.
This beginning of the use OF torpe-

Gus attention Of naval men TO the sub
Ject of their possibilities.
Both sides were thus early consider
ing the powerful agency of the hidden
explosive in maritime warfare, which
later was TO cost the north some of its
most useful vessels.
FINDING THE MINE
On the afternoon of July Z. 1851. the
Pawnee, which was the heaviest of the
Union flotilla then on the Potomac, lay
at anchor off Acquia creek. the ter
minus OF a line of railroad from Fred
ericksburg.
The Confederates had batteries at
the landing. which the Union vessels
had been unable to subdue by bonn
bardment, and a strict watch was kept
by the flotilla on their neighborhood
1t CHANGED that at the time mention
ed the small steamer Resolute was
alongside the Pawnee, preparing to pro-
coed down stream on special duty. Her
commander. Acting Master william
Budd. was about to cast off and pro-
coed on mis- way when he thought he
saw something about 200 yards from
the Pawnee
Going out in a boat to make an in
vestigation, Acting Master Budd found
a rope about 100 feet long, sustained by
corks at intervals OF two feet. At
either end was a partly submerged cask
The contrivance was towed. on orders
from the Pawnee, under the STERN of
that vessel. Before the towing was be-
gun Mr.. Budd took the precaution to
pour some water down a number of
small vent holes that were seen in the
top of each cask.
The casks were found to be very
heavy, being weighted at a considerable
distance under the water. Commander
S. c. Rowan. of the Pawnee, ordered the
casks towed down the river TO a point
off Nanjemoy. Nd, and alongside a gov
eminent schooner there for examina-
ton.

HELD AS TRAIN WRECKERS.
Four Italians Accused of Derailing
Cars for Revenge

MIDDLETON, Conn, September 12.-On
warrants issued by the coroner four Ital-
ians under arrest here today charged
with Wrecking express train on the
New Haven railroad near here on the
night of August -. causing the death of
one passenger and serious injury to sixty
others.
According To railroad detectives. the
four men hired roWboat in Portland the
Saturday night preceding the wreck and
rowed down To the place selected. where
they hid crovbars and wrenches for use
the next night. On the night of the
wreck the four men again hired the same
boat and rowed to the scene. where they
removed the spikes from the inside Of
one of the rails and propped ii up on one
end so that the wheels of the engine
" ould strike it and deral the train.
As a motive for the crime the detec-
tives allese that Giacomo Lisi, who was
formerly employed by the road as "A track
walker had been discharged and that he
looked for revenge and a chance to loot
the passengers. Antonio Diorri is said
also to have desired revenge for fancied
grievance That there was no attempt
made to rob the passengers, the detec-
tives claim, is due to the fact that only
two of the cars went down the en-
bankment and that there We're too many
uninjured passengers around after the
accident.

nealy
The two sisters had drifted apart Years
ago and for a long time no correspond
erce had passed between them. Mrs
Valain knew that her sister lived in this
city. and it was a sudden impulse that
led her to make Il visit here.
Mrs. Francis Sheridan, daughter Of Mrs.
Nalain. with whom the latter resides at
Ill X street northwest stated today she
had received a letter from her mother
announcing that she had found that her
sister had been dead for some time.
Mother did not go to North Adams
just to have her sister return here with
her said Mrs. Sheridan She has
friends there and went to visit them also
She had. however. said she would en-
deavor to persuade her sister to come to
Washington with her. She, with her two
sisters came from Ireland when they
were quite young. They resided at Spring
field Mass, for a time, when one of the
sisters returned to ireland and is still re-
siding i'm the old country.
MY mother and her sister III North
Adams did not correspond after she came
to Washington. and she had not heard
from her for twenty years 1t certainly
was a great surprise to me when / heard
that she was dead.
II don't know why the newspapers
want to publish so much about such
thing as that ! know my mother will
