Three Men Killed and Fifteen

Wounded near Baltimore.

Baltimore, March 5,

A collision occurred about 2 o'clock this afternoon near Severn station, 14 miles south of this city, on the Baltimore and Potomac Koad, between the second section of the fast train north, which left Washing ton at 1.10 p.m., and a traiu of empty pas fencer cars, drawn by two engines, going south to Washington. The tiain from Washington was made up of four Pullman sleeping-cars next to the engine and tender. Tho lirst, which was a special car chartered by J. Wyman Young, of Shamokin, Pa., contained the friends of Young aud citizens ot Shamokin and vicinity ; the next three contained the Cleveland city troop?, which acted as a special escort to President Gar iield from Cleveland to Washington, nud wero returning as a special escort to ex-President Hayes. The fifth coach con tained ex-President Hayes and family and friends. The fifth coach was a special car, in which were James Mason, counsel of tbe Lftke Shoro road, and A. C. Armstrong, an officer of the same road, from Clevclaud. It contained, also, the families of these gentle men and their friends, and was followed by a baggage car. Next came the special car of Daniel P. Eels, l'rcaideutof the Ohio Central road aud President of the Commercial Bank of Cleveland, in which wero liis family aud friends. This coach was followed by a car containing twelve horses of the Cleveland troops, and made up the train. At tho time of the collision the north-hound traiu was going at a rapid rate. The first Pullmaii car, which was thespocialcarchartcrcd by Young of tjhamokin, received the shock of the collision and was partially telescoped into the necond car, containing the members of the Cleveland troops. Young was instantly killed and tifieeu persons wore injured. As boou as information of the collision was received heic a wrecking train was sont out with surgeons to attend the wounded, which returned to Baltimore with all the passeDgors and wouuded, reaching the Union depot betwocn 5 and 6 o'clock. The wounded are being properly cared for, and most of tho passengers aro at tho hotels. Kx-President Hayes and family are at 5-amuel M. Shoemaker's. None of the cars were damages except the first and socoud Pullman cars. All three engines ard badly wrecked. The olliccra of the Baltimore and Potomac road state that the empty train, drawn by two engines, first started for Washington with express instructions to lie over onasidiugat Severn station until the second section of the fast train from Waihington had passed. That order was disobeyed and tho collision re sulted.

COAL MINE EXPLOSION.

Thirty-five Chinamen and Three

White Men Killed.

Omaha, March 4,

Early this morning, dispatches were re ceived at the Uuion Pacilic Head-quarters, In this city, stating that a terrific explosion had occurred last night, bctwecu nine and ten o'clock, in the Central Pacilic coal mine, at Almy, in Wyoming Territory, killing thirty-five Chinamen and three white men. The hnt dispatch was as follows : — A LMY, March 3. J. T, Clark, General Superintendent Union Pacilic, Omolia : About nine o'clock this evening, an explosion of gas took placo in the Central I'acilic mine. The works on the lop of the ground are burned. There are fifty Chinamen and twenty-five white men in the mine at this writing, and no communication has been hail with them since the explosion. The miue slope is on fire. Superintendent Bowman h trying to effect an entrance to the mine through the north air course, with little or no prospect of saving tho lives ot any of the mon. The situation is VERT DISTRESSING, as no assistance c»n be rendered to the unfortunates in the mine. The explosion shook tho buildings in Evanstonc. The second dispatch was as follows : — Tbo number of white men reported in the mine is now claimed to buve been not more than fire men. An eutrancc has been effected through the air course, and ouo badly wounded Chinamen has been brought out that way. Fittoeu Chinamen have been recovered from the fourth level, alive, through the main slope. No white men have yet been found, up to this writing, 3 a.m. The third despatch was as follows: - Thirty-five Chinamen aud three white men were KI1.I.K1) IN THE EXPLOSION. In this mine thero was employed a day forco of 200 men, and a night gang of 75 men. Nearly tho whole force are China roeu. A fire has been raging iv this mine for fire years, but it had been walled in by a stone wall. The supposition is that gas had accumulated and in some way com municated with the tire, thus causing the explosion. It is tho first explosion of the kind that has ever occurred west of the Mississippi Kiver. SCENBS AT THE MINE. CHEYENHE (WyO, Mar. 4. Owing to the excitement at Almy, it ia impossible to obtain full particulars of the disaster. It is bow thought that there are nioro men in the mine than was fir»t re ported. Faint hope is held out that most of the men in the mine have fled to the portion of the mine not on fire. The flames intervening prevents the reacneis from reaching them to-night. The scene at the mouth of the shaft is described as pitiful. The families of the white men who are still in the mine are frantic, while Chinamen throng about, waiting piteously for their lobt friends and relatives. Most of the population of Evanston are on the ground. Camp-fires scattered about give light to workers and lend a weird effect to the scene. Miners from the surrounding pits are working hard. Business for twenty inilo.l about is entirely suspendod. A LATER ACCOUNT. There were »ixty Chinamen and four white men in the miue. Of the latter, Mr Gillesple, Mr Barton, aud Josiah Crosby, were taken out dead, and Charles Beverage alive, but very dangerously burned. He may recover. The t-K-enty-fivo Chinamen fiho have been brought to tho surface, are badly joalded, and many with broken limbs. The balance are probably dead. The white men were all married, and loave large families. The fire in the mine is now out, and everything poasiblc is being done for the recovery of the balance of the bodies and for the Injured.

CAST ON A COLD COAST.

Terrible Sufferings of a Ship-

torccketl Crew.

Chicago, February 16.

A " Times " Montreal special of the 15th says: The Government Department of Marine and Fiaheries at Quebec has received the following account of a terrible ship wreck, and the loss of life and fearful sufferings of the survivors. The wrecked vessel was the Noumetan of Bt, John, New Brunswick. She was a timber laden ship of eighteen hands, loaded at Minninic and owned by Stewart and Co,, T. Johnson of St John was captain. The Bcene of the wreck is Snake's Bight, about ten miles west of Cape Auqaoita. The exact date of the disaster is not recorded. It was in a severe gale and about ten miles west of Cape George that the ship got on her beam ends The crow cut away the mints in the hope that the vessel would right herself, but instead of doing so she kept driving in the bay, and when they found her near- Idk the laod, let go the anchors in fifteen fathoms of water. As the ship righted they got oat two boats. They manned them, one with nine and the other with ten men. One of the boats went down with all haiide, close alongside the vessel. The other got clear of the Bhip aad made direct for the shore. BWAMPED BY A HEATV SEA. It was soon upset, however, in the heavy sea one man being drowned and everything in the boat lost. The eight Survivors suc ceeded in righting her again and partly bailed her out, using their boots to bail with. Before reaching the shore she again upsst, and the same hardships wore again endured before sho was righted. A colored man who was ono of the survivors died immediately on reaching shore. The others got upon the bank, where some of the number died from exhaust ion, cold and fatigue. The remainder took to the woods, where tho only two survivors of the crew wandered for nine days without a morsel of any kind of food whatever. They managed to sustain life by eating the tender boughs of trees, and at the end of that period they were found by people belonging to the highlands and taken to their homes, very badly frozen and exhausted from cold and hunger. In tho midst of their own misfortunes, their thoughts reverted to their late companions, and their first desire, having found refuge and safety for themselves, was for the assis tance of their missing comrades. SUFFERINGS OF THE SUBVIVORS. A party of men at once formed and set out to search for tho lost. Alter some timo

Captain Johnson was found—alive, but , badly frozen—with a dead man lying beside him. For some time ho expressed great alarm at the sight of the party who had come to his relief. They procured him re freshments and he drank a little warm tea, nfter which he became apparently re conciled to his surroundings, but cold and hunger had done their work, and in a few hours death relieved him of his sufferings. The party ot [searchers proceeded on their way aud came across the body of another man, from whoie arms and body portions of tlic llosli had been cut with a knife. There was no longer any roou. for doubting the facts that the pangs of hunger in some of the survivors had overcome the scruples of humanity, and a fearful scene of cannibalism, incidental t> many another wreck, hna been repeated in tbe pnsent instance. Two or three members of the un fortunate crew still remain to bs accounted for. The survivors are unable to say whether these poor fellows got safely on land or perished before reaching the top of tho bank.

TWO TRAINS WRECKED.

Macon, Mo., March 4,

The passonger train on the Hannibal and ft. Joseph ltailroad, which left here at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, was thrown from the tmck just this side of Berier, six miles west of this city, by a broken rail. The engine, tender, baggage car aud two coaches wore thrown down the embank ment, 10 feet high. They were all badly demolished,except the smokingcar.in which were forty-nine emigrant passengers, forty of whom were women and childrcu. This coach kept an upright position, but plough ing its way into the ground some distance from the track. The other passenger car and one sleeper were thrown from the track, lirst being turned over, while only the forward trucks of the rear sleeper went oil. In the last cur the pa&sengcw were not awakened by the accident, and only learned thereof when Borne ot the wouuded were taken in. There were nearly one hundred passeugers on the train, and that no lives were lost aud so few in jured is remarkable. As soou as possible after the wreck a wrecking train left Hrookiield, thirty-four miles west of Macou, for the scene of tho accident, but as a train it did not reach its destination. About thirteen miles cast of Brooklield tho engine and two Hat cars crossed Brush Creek bridge safely, but the wracking car proper—tho enboose aud the passenger coach—on which were physi cians and other citizeus of Erooklicld, coming to the passenger wreck, broke through and went down thirty feet in a mass of brolcen timbers aud maimed humanity. Of those on the curs which went down, Dr Wood, of Brooklield, Frank Locke and George Zewick of Uaunibal, Mo., anil four ethers were killed, and of lifty persons on the train no one escaped without injury. No train has passed oust or west since tho accident.

SUPREME COURT.-Yesterday concluded.

Criminal Sittings.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Richmond.) ALLEGED KAI'E. Iv the case of Thomus Codliu, charged with rape upon a married woman named Mrs McNciah at Mercury Bay, the jury returned a verdict of " not guilty," at the same time expressing their regiet that the law would not permit them to briug in a verdict of "guilty of an indecent assault." His Honor stated his concurrence with the fiuding of the jury, aud hoped that the law would be so amended as to admit of the indicated verdict being returned iv similar ca«es, where the cvidouce was found in sufficient to sustain the graver criino of rape. The prisoner was then discharged, CRIMES CONFIiSSKD. Alfred John Warner, alias Frederick John Warner, alias Mark Tapley, pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny as a bailee, viz., selling a horse lent to him by a man named Wood at Te Aroha. The prisoner alleged poverty as an excuse for the offence. Sentence deferred till Thursday morniug. John Sutherland was then charged with and pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the dwelling of Michael Burke aud Thomas Tieruey, at Waitakerei, aud in his case sentence was similarly deferred. James Forrest Bell, late stutionmastcr at Ohaupo, was next brought up. He pleaded guilty to a number of charges of embezzle ment. Sonteuoe deferred till Thursday morning. The Court adjourned at six o'clock.

THIS DAY.

LARCENY A3 A BAILEE.

At tho opening of the Court, Alfred John Warner, alias Frederick John Warner, alias Mark Tapley was brought up aud sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour for larceny as a bailee. BREAKING AND KNTKRINO. John Sutherland, for breaking and enter ing, was also sentenced to two years' im prisonment with hard labour. EMBEZZLEMENT. James Forrest Bell, who had pleaded guilty to several charges of embezzlement, then enme up for sentence. Mr Tyler said ho had one or two things to state in tho prisoner's favour. He had not been loDg in the colony, and at Homo had occupied a very respectable and respon sible position ; but unfortunately eoruc time after his arrival hero, he commenced a course of drinking. The offence was not the act of a malicious mind, but the result of a state of mind brought on by iutempcr anco - a state ot iniucl in which the prisoner scarcely knew what he was doing. His brain became clouded by drink, and his ac counts got into such a state of confusion that in many cases he had actually credited sums as having been paid which were not paid until after his trial. The sums had not been appropriated with a deliberate design to embezzle, but in the belief that they were properly accounted for. Punishment would fall more heavily upon such a man than many in lower posi tions who committed far graver oflonces. lie ihad no friends in the coloDy, but so generally waa he liked by his neighbours that a number of them (including eomo of the Crown witnesses) had feed him (iho speaker) to appear in bis defence. His Honor addressing the prisoner said that his case was ono of a very painful class. It was that of a man holding a res pectable station in society being put into a position of tru»t, aad betraying that trust. lie felt the weight of the observations ad dressed to him by Mr Tyler, that oven slight punishment would fall more heavily upon the prisoner, than very severe punish ment upon a man in an inferior position in life, but it was also to be remembered that the offence was proportionately greater on account of the nun's social position. A sentence of three years' imprisonment with hard labour was then dealt out. LARCENY. Samuel Brown, an aged and well-known citizen, was then arraigned upon indict ments charging hira-(l) with having, on tho 30th .November, 1880, broken and entered the shop of Henry Waitc and Btolen therefrom two tin billies and one toapot j (2) with, having, on the 2nd April, 1880 stolen 35 knives, 6 forks, and 36 spoons from the shop of Edward Waters ; and (3) with having, on the 30t!i November, 1880, stolen 8 knives, 28 forks, and 48 spoons from tho shop of William David Dallen. Tho prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr Tyler said that, with His Honor's permission, he wished to make some obser vations with regard to the punishment to be meted out to the prisouer, but first of all he would call sorao witnesses as to character. The following unsworn evidence was then taken:— , ~ Hon. F. Whitakers I have known Mr Brown for a large number of years—since 1844. For many years I had extensive dealings with him, and I found him straight forward, honest, and liberal. After that he got into trouble through bankruptcy, but I never had reason to believe that a change had taken place in his character until these charges were brought against him. lam unable to account for tho committal ot the offences. 1 Hon. P. Dignan: I have known the prisoner since 1842. I had numerous busi ness transactions with him up to 1863, and I always found him entirely honourablo and exceedingly liberal. Mr J. M. Clark (Mayor of Auckland) : I have known the prisoner for the last 31 years. During the first 12 or 15 years of that time, as assistant to my father in busi ness. I had many dealings with Mr Browu —dealings of various kinds and involving considerable amounts of money—and throughout the whole of these transactions I always found him strictly honourable. During the last 15 years I have had no transactions with him, Mr J. T. Boylan: I have known the prisoner for about 13 years. I had a great many transactions with him during the first 10 or 12 years, and in the course of those transactions I always found him exceedingly houorable and straightforward. That is his general reputation. Mr David Nathan: I have known the prisouer about 40 years, and I always found him straightforward in business transactions, During a number of years

past ho has been suffering from disease of the braiu, which has affected his mind. He was a man of great wealth at one time. Mr Thoa. C. Macky : I have known the prisoner for 30 years. I have had several business transactions with him, and I always found him perfectly honest and straightforward. That was his reputation geueially. His Honor remarked that the case was certainly an extraordinary one. He did not know that it was necessary to pro ceed further, teeing that a number of the principal inhab tanlo Ot tbe city had spoken strongly in the prisoner's favour. He seemed to have confined himself to pilfering articles of tinware.

Mr Tyler remarked that until two or three years ago no change seemed to have been noticed in the prisoner's conduct, for up till that time he had been a thoroughly houest nud upright man. His Honor would remember that two of the witnesses had said that that was the prisoner's general reputation. His Honor: That is quite established. Cau you procure substantial bail for the appearanco of the prisoner whenever it may be thought desirable that he should come up for sentence ? Mr Tyler: I can find bail, your Honor, to any amount you may wish. His Honor: What do you say to two sureties, Mr Brcokliold. Mr Brookfield : I was about to suggest the course Your Honor is going to take. Mr Tyler : The prisoner has suffered con siderable punishment already. He has been three months iv the Lunatic Asylum. His Honor: lam quite satisfied of tho extraordinary character of the case. I have no doubt tliat the prisoner's acts have pro ceeded from au abnormal meutal constitu tion. There are such persons. The case nii^lit be mentioned of a man of enormous revenue, who steals forks aud spoons from his own table and jewellery from his own manor houses. It is a rccoguisod fact iv physiology. Mr Tyler: The prisoner seems to have a mania for acquiring such articles as those he is charged with stealing. 1 hold in my hand a large number of receipts for articles of a similar kind, bought by him from time to time. His Honor then announced that the pri soner would be liberated upou recognizances being entered iuto for his appearance when required, viz., two sums of £300 each. Mr David Nathan and Mr J. T. Nathan wero accepted as sureties. SKUIOUS ASSAULT. Hugh Storey, a lad of 14 or 15 years, was charged with having on the 22nd Decem ber, 18S0, assaulted Charles Barrett King in such a manner as to occasion him actual bodily harm. Tne prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." Mr Tole appeared in his defence. Tho particulars of the case, which was before the public not long ago aro briefly as follow. The prisoner is an apprentice iv the hootmaking establishment ot Messrs Austen of Co., of Wvndham-strcet, whoro Mr King is employed as foreman. Tho lud one day was given same particular work to h'uish.and itseems thathc leftituncompleted besides failing to put sue tho usual practice of entering iv a book kept for tho purposo the nature of his day's work. When he ap peared in the establishment tho foreman chid him for his neglect. The lad answered impertinently, aud tho foreman immedia tely boxed his cars. The boy then took up n shoemakor's knife and threatened to use it if tho act were repeated. A number of the apprentices were assembled aud the foreman, not wishing thorn to think ihat he was to bo thus intiinidntcd against, boxed Storey's oars, whorcupon the latter made a thrust with the knife, whichentcred the palm of King's hand. Blood llowed copiously from the wound, and King, by a series of kicks, hastened his aggressor's departuro from the building. The witnesses examined were : C. B. King, Dr. Hooper, Geo. Walker, and Win, Murphy. Mr Tolo was hoard for tho defence, and after His Honor had summed up, tho jury retired. At two o'clock they returned into Court with a verdict of " Not guilty," whereupon the prisoner was discharged. UTTERING A VALUELESS P. N. John Purcell was charged with having, on the 20th of November, uttered a certain forged promissory note for the payment of £380, with intent to defraud. He pleaded " guilty." Mr Tyler appeared on tho prisoner's behalf. Tho Crown Prosecutor said thero wero three other charges of fraud against tho prisoner and two charges of breaches of tho "Fraudulent Debtors Act." With respect to the charges of uttering it seemed to him that as they were but a continuation of the same offences—for a sorics ot forged bills had been put in circulation by the prisoner —th.it they might.be treated as one conso lidated offence.

Mr Tyler piotested against Jthis being done. It waa upon a contrary understand ing that ho had advised tho to plead guilty. His Honor decided not to take them together. The prisoner then said that the bill was given to Mr Layers not with any fraudulent intention, but simply in order to silence him as he was then pressing him (the prisoner) very hard for a debt which he had not then the means of paying. Ho hnd a contract at tho time, and waa advised by another party to givo tho bogus in a temporary means of satisfying Mr Layers—as a means of [keeping him quiet till he was able to pay. He told the gentleman to hold the bill until Jt became due, when he would meet it. There was no fraudulent intent on his part. His Honor, after remarking that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to a very im pudent fraud, and one too of h dangerous, in a community like this, sentenced him to two years' imprisonment with bard labour. ALLEGED FORGERY. Edward Hunt Jagger was brought up on three charges of forgery. That of forging a promissory note for the payment ot £300 was agreed to be taken first. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Tyler appeared for the defence, The Crown Prosecutor in opening the case said that, although in the indictment there had ben a count for uttering forged documents, the grand jury, for good reasons do doubt, had thought right to ignore it. The attention of the jury would, therefore be confined to the charge of forgery. Tho case was one of some peculiarity. The pri soner was charged with lorging a pro missory vote for three hundred pounds, in tho name of Wilson and McDonald which note was handed by a man namod John Purcell to Mr Mr G. H. Layers, Bced merchant, to partly cover an existing debt. That note tunred out to be a bogus one, in asmuch as no firm of the name of Wilson and McDonald had an acconnt at the Union Bank at which the noto waa to be presented. It would be shown that JagL'er had been employed by Purcell as clerk, and from a comparison of his writings Btrong evidence would be given for the •belief that the writing on the forged docu ment was also his. Mr George H. Layers then gave evidence as to tho receipt of the noto from Purcell, Charles Kicbard Bradley as to its presentation |at the Union Bank ; Richard Henry Yeoman as to the identity of some of Jagger's writing; and James Palmer, publican, as to the fact that in March or April, 1880, no persons named VVilaOn or McDonald were; stopping at bis place, Parcell having introduced Layers to a man stopping at Palmer's house whom ho repre sented to be a Mr Wilson. (Left sitting.)

MR THOMAS RUSS ELL ON NEW ZEALAND'S RESOURCES.

The annual ordinary general meeting of tho shareholders of tho Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company was held on February 4th at tho ollicec of the Company, Queen Victoria-street, Mansion House; Mr Thomas Uusbcll, C.M.G., in the chair. Tho Chairman, in moving the adoption of tho repmt, congratulated tho shareholders thut tho directors were not only üblo to give thoiu thoir usual dividend, but thut they had resumed their contributors to tlic reservo fund which had beou annunlly made from tho com- Lueucomcut without any break until lust year, when, the colony being iv a state of depression, it was deemed prudent to withhold it. Iv the minds of some persons, not of thoso who knew the country, there were doubts as to the futuro of New Zea laud, and unfavourable inferences were drawn from the amount ot the public debt compared with tho number of Uic popula tion. But he maintained that such com parisons wore most unfair unless they took into account tho resources and capabilities of tho country. In New Zealand, with an area equal to that of the United Kingdom, they had a soil which was nulurallv rich, and a climate no genial that they never ex perienced either the severity of un English winter, or tho scorching heat of an Aus tralian summer. Iv 1769 there were only 000,000 acres of land under cultivation. In 1879 it hud increased to four million acres, the iiicreaso bciuß all attributable to the tnaklug of roads and railroads, or rather bits of roads and railro*ds, for they wore yet mostly unfinished. When they were finished tho population would no doubt increase, and tlie quantity of land brought under cultivation increase also ; and as tho soil wbb richer than that of California, and the distanco shorter, tho cultivators of grain in Now Zealand could no doubt competo successfully with thoso of California, and grain as well as wool would form a Btaplo articlo of exportj —Tho motion was seconded by Mr Butcher aud carried withont discussion, as was another resolntion that a dividend at tho rale of 10 per cont. per annum tor the half year, and a bonus at 5 per cent, for tbo year, be paid.—The rotiring directors were re-elected, as vrero aUo tho auditors, aud the meeting closed with votes of thanks to the home aud colonial directcm, and to the managers, secretary, and ollices both in Eogmnd and the colonies, and to tho chair man.

I < / \ff the making ol books there ls no end," \___f wrote an inspired author in the Infancy of the world, thousands of years before the artpre l Bervatlve of all arts was discovered. But book making now is a very different thing from what it was when old King Solomon labori ously penned hia word of wisdom on papyrus. . Indeed, now a-days tho worla is almost " em -3 barras d«s rechesses "of learning, " quaint and olden" and bright and new, embalmed in 0 books. And much of this learning is liberally 9 supplied by modern publishers, such as Cassell, Peiter and Galpln, Collins, Chambers, and a legion of others. Not only aro the works issued by those firms of the highest practical use, but they are sent out in handsome exteriors, - illustrative of the remarkable progress that has . been made in book illumination. Nothing in 5 our opinion tends to civilise or beautify a home so much aa good books and pictures. You can form a good idea of a mi__n from his library, The great diffionlty with many in obtaining books of a high class in nearly every depart i ment of literature Is the almostprohibitivoprici 0 at which they are issued from the press, and i> is really a boon to society when works o: 0 admitted excellence are brought within the reach of persons of moderate means by the admirable System of Time Payments.
