Mr. William Allen Butler communicates to

letter from his eon, a student at Phillips Aca
demy, at Andover, Mass., giving an account of
the sudden death, on Sunday morning, of
Samnel Harvey Taylor, LL.D., the venerable
and eminent Principal of that famous classical
school:
"This morning Dr. Taylor left his house as
usual to teach our Bible class. It was snowing
hard, and the walking was tiresome on accouut
of the deep snow. The Doctor came up the
steps, and just as he entered the door fell. A
lew of us were in the chapel and heard him
fall; we ran out and found him lying on the
floor; one of the boys raised his head up,
and the rest ot us ran in different ways
for the doctor, etc. I thought when I
first saw him that he bad only fainted, but we
soon saw that he was very sick. George Taylor
rnshed in and took his father's head in his lap,
and soon the doctors came. They unloosed his
cravat and began to rub bis hands. I ran to a
house and brought some hot water to put to his
feet. We brought a mattress aud some clothing
and laid the doctor on them, and carried him
from the hall to a recitation room, but I think
he had died before we moved him. He never
opened his eyes or spoke after he fell. It
was a very Impressive sight to see the boys,
almost the whole school, standing around him,
the bell still tolling for the Biblical class, so
sudden was his fall. Thus he died as many
great men have died, In the midst of duty and,
in the academy of which he was the head, with
his pupils around him, and in the very house in
which he had taught for so long a time."

Mrnuier V. K. Arthur.
A despatch to the ClueinuiM Enquirer says:
At nn enrly hour this morning a startling rumor
was circulated through the city to the elloet
Hint the ftcamer W. It. Arthur, Oaptaiu Harry
W. liolnski commanding, which left this port
Int evening fr Louisville, blew up near Islanl
No. 40. The rumor proved, uu fortunately, too
true, and the facts obtained by the sur
vivals of the fearful disaster miko up
a talc of hideous horror iv tulo of (hiv.h 1 y
fire and water almost unequalled iu history.
This morning cotton nnd pieces of tin?
wrick were ui.-eoYi red Iloatinij past the lauding.
The news was brought by Mr. J. S. Carter, for
merly liver reporter of the Timet, of St. Loiii.
who lloated down the river inn yawl nnd im
pHrted the in foi mallon, when the ferry-lio.it
jreelf.ior and a tiur boat Hai led for the scone
of the dit-ustcr, picking up on their way many
unfortunate beings, who were discovered Hoot
ing down the river on hoards, cotton hales, and
doorc, and arriving at the Arthur found her on
a bar tear the foot of the island. Ttic explo
sion occurred nt 1 o'clock this morning, while
nil were as-lecp cave those on duty. The entire
front part forward of the w"heel-houe
was blown away, including ttie tex.H
nnd pilothouse, "and immediately after
wards fire broke out among the cotton,
of which she had taken PiOO hale? hero,
and which was piled up nearly even with the
hurricane roof on the forecatIe. The tiro wa,
however, subdued by the passengers aud crew,
but only to break out agaiu and again, causing
Intense excitement among the passengers.
Tke boat finally floated down the river a mile
or more, when it grounded on a bar in the
middle of the stream aud sunk to the cabin Moor,
the remaining passengers being crowded ou
the huirkane roof aft the wheel-house. Mr.
Alfred Church, of St. Louie, who also came in
the ekiff with Mr. Carter, makes the following
statement: I was sitting by the stove in the
Imik pnrt of the boat, on the lower dock, when
I heard a noise and sound as though a house
was falling. The boiler (low backwards
towards the stem of the steamer.
I recovered my feet iu a few minutes
nnd got on tho guards, then climbed
up to the hurricane-deck. Here I found a num
ber of pasKcngere, men, women, and children,
all excited and iu their night clothes. They
were screaming for help, and some were pray
ing nnd appealing to each other for protection
and safely. The forward part of the boat ap
peared to be a perfect wreck. Iu a few miuutes
a fire sprang up and blazed furiously. The en
tire front purl of the boat forward of the wheel
house was blown away, and nothing could be
seen of texas, pilot-house, or chimney. The
fire and excitement increasing, I lett the boat
ou a cotton bale and floated down the river tor
several miles until picked up. I believe there
weie about fifty cabin passengers, including
fifteen or twenty ladies, and thirty deck pas
sengers on bo.ird. The crow numbered about
twenty men. When the boat blew up and took
fire she lloated down the river about a mile and
grounded on a sand-bar. It soj-ued as if the
boat was cut in two. The forward part was de
stroyed by fire, while the portion aft of the
wliecl-hout-e remained intact. AV'heu last 1 saw
tho boat the wnler was up to her cabin-lloor,
nnd a number of people were on the hurricane
fleck. Several people were trying to put the
fire out with buckets of water. I saw tho porter,
bar-keeper, nnd the watchman on cotton bales,
and heard a number of people out ia the river
crying for help, but wo could not go near them
ecause we had no oars in the boat
The books and papers of the boat were all
lost, so that there is no means of obtaining a
correct list of those lost. Tho bodv of Martiu .
Graney, second steward, of Evaisville. was also
found. Graney. Milltr, Harper, and Alien, all
belonging to the cabin crew, occupied one room
In the texas. Grauey and Miller, who slept in
forward berths, were lost, while Harper and
Allen, In after berths, escaped without a scratch.
Mr. Dillon, second mate, went up the river
from the wreck on board the steamer Lock wood.
From the appearance of the wreck two of the
midship boilers must have exploded simulta
neously, one goiDg straight up from Its foun
dation, and the other being thrown aft, being
found on the afterguard. Miss Mary E. McClary,
a young girl from Chicago, on her way home,
was drowned. After the explosion she made
her way to the guards of the ladles' cabin, and
was seen by the pantryman seemingly stupefied
by fear, and as the boat sunk, and the water
came nearly up to where she was, she plunged
into the water and sank.
NEW JERSEY AS A BREAKWATER.
Iter Railroad Obstruction to Travel Aluec be
Abandoned Manlfloant Opinion of a leading
Journal.
Frcm the Xewark Advertiser, Jan. 81. y
"All roads lead to Rome," so far as Europe is
concerned, and on this continent all roads lead
to New York, and the great bulk of. Western
travel aud trafllc must cross New Jersey.
The late Henry J. Raymond once said that no
railroad or canal could be built upon this conti
nent that would not be tributary to New York, a
theory which is curiously Illustrated of late in
the "chaDge of base" made by two of the great
trunk lines. The Pennsylvania Central Railroad
was built in the interest of the city of Philadel
phia, and with the design of making it a great
seaport to rival New York in its foreign com
merce. Yet as soon as the main trunk from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg was constructed, the
necessity arose for Western connections, the
Fort Wayne route to Chicago was secured, and
that again, after a brief rest, was pushed on
further and further until the Central's real West
ern terminus is now at San Francisco. With In
terests so vast and connections so extended, the
Company soon found Philadelphia an unsatis
factory Atlantic terminus, and, partly by the
establishment of the Allentown route, and fur
ther by the West Philadelphia turnpike to Tren
ton, has made Philadelphia only a way station
on the trans-continental thoroughfare. It is
now seeking a direct and perpetual line to New
York by leasing the Camden ana Amboy. That
secured, it will have a through Hue from ocean
to ocean.
Still another Instance of this tendency towards
New York Is to be found iu the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, one of the most wisely and ener
getically managed corporations In the country.
Llko the Pennsylvania road, it was built In the
interests of its chosen terminus as a seaDort.
Trending far to the South, it seemed destined
to contribute almost solely to the building up of
Baltimore, bringing to it the rich trade of the
Ohio valley, and building up steamship lines
that could dare to compete wltn the Cunarders.
It Is only a few years since this road was con
sidered a dangerous competitor to the New
York canals and railroads, and a heavy damage
to the commerce of the metropolis. But in the
extension of its Southern connections, espe
cially since the war, it finds itself only a link
when it wishes to be the controlling power in a
through line between New Orleans and New
York on the one branch, and the Ohio Valley
and New York on the other. Five years since
its weighty influence was employed in Congress
to defeat any project of an air Hue between
Washington and New York. Now, its Southern
connections so urgently demanded a Northern
outlet that it is working in the opposite direc
tion, and is ready to form new alliances.
The action in the State Senate last eveniug
has some significance. On Thursday of last
week Mr. Jarrard introduced a bill repealing so
much of the charter of the Hamilton Laud Im
provement Company as was construed to autho
rize it to build a link of seven miles of railroad,
which would complete, or nearly so, the con
nections of a series of corporations which
can be consolidated as a National Air Line
Railroad. Mr. Jarrard's objection was that a
railroad charter is an incongruous element in
land improvement, a somewhat unusual logic
which was met for the moment by Senator
Taylor, by referring the charter to the State
Attorney-General for his opinion as to its
legality. The resolution passed, but was called
up last night for reconsideration, and by a vote
of 11 to 16 the resolution was negatived, thus
leaving the Air Line people in their original
status. It is not apparent that the Camdeu aud
Amboy made any special resistance to this dis
position of the case, and there are reasons
fnow:h why it should not The termination
of their monopoly Implies a promise on
their psrt that the interests of tlia Stat tnmt
bereatter take precedence. The negotiations
I ending with tho Pennsylvania Central might
possibly include a further consolidation of al
the lesKT charters which have been shrewdly
obtained on various pretenses. The Baltimore
and Ohio capitalists claim consideration, and
behind lies the power of Congress to compel
direct communication.
Tbcw hole drill nnd tone of railroad contro
versy are towards nationalization. New Jcrr-ey
has fel,h advantages belonging to her wonder
ful geographical position. A new New York is
rising upon the western shores of the Hudson,
nnd the prospective growth seems to be illimit
able. The pressure brought to bear upon our
State is too enormous to bo resisted. It is the
crush of a continent which demands free transit
across our territory, and the wiser brains fall in
with the march of the ago. We have not even
the choice any longer. We must jield grace
ful ly or yield per iorce.

The women of the Fifteenth and Sixtoanth
wards of Brooklyn have been in a terrible state
of alarm for the past 6lx or eight weeks over tho
outrages committed upon a number of young
girls by a human vampire. Hismodoof opera
lion has been to come up behlud the girls un
awares, stab them in the face or back, aud then,
before they have recovered from the shock,
make his escape in tho darkness.
Four cai-es of girls thus etabbed havo been
reported to the police, but it is said that twenty
or thirty other cases havo occurred of which no
nport has been made. These outrages have
all been committed early in tho evening, and
iu the most public places, whero people are
constantly passing, i'hus far every cllort to
catch the rascal have proved futile.
Naturally enough, the women are fearfully
frightened, and the streets that were ouco tilled
w ith girls on their evening promenades are now
almost wholly deserted. Parents will not allow
their daughters to go out during tho evening,
unless nccompauied by a male companion, ami
few grown-up women" are bold cuough to ven
ture out unattended.
There are hundreds of stories alloat In regard
to the mysterious assasbiu. Some of tho women
w ho are naturally superstitious believe him to
be a supernatural being.
A VKK1TAM.E IMP OF TIIR DEVIL.
1 hey sny he has never been 6eeu by mortal eyes,
excipt lor an instant only; that he approaches
his victims noiselessly, gives them a stab, and
IheH ns uoiselessly vauhhes into the air. Chil
dren liuteu to these stories with wondering eyes
and bated breath, and they so work upon thoir
joung imaginations that even their waking
dreams are peopled with images of the demon.
Many of them arc so frightened that they dare
not venture into tho street after dark. Ono lady
said she heard that there were
SEVEN LADIES 8TAnBED ON SATURDAY NIGHT,
and as many more on Sunday morning and eve
ning. Probably this is an exaggeration, but the
alarm is so great now that the women believe
everything they hear about this terrible demon.
Girls seldom go upon the street unaccompanied.
Coming down Montrose avenue last evening, the
Sun reporter met one only, and she shied out
to the curbstone as if fearful
that the reporter might be the
terrible vampire seeking another victim. One
evening last week a Mrs. Smith, living on Lee
avenue, bad just left her bouse, when a man
came up to her, grasped her by the wrist, and
drew a razor. The lady saw the weapon, and
gave a wild cry of affright. The man then let
go his hold and made his escape.
if one-half the stories told are true, there is
an alarming state of affairs in Williamsburg,
and the authorities owe it to themselves, as well
as to the reputation of the city, to see that no
stone is left unturned to clear up tho mystery.
The aldermen of Brooklyn have authorized the
Mayor to offer a reward of $250 for the arrest of
this devilish scoundrel. N. Y. Sun of yesterday.
BURKING OF A THEATRE.
The correspondent of the Panama Mail,
writing from Valparaiso on Dec. 10, says: The
magnificent theatre in Santiago, erected by the
municipality at a cost of 500,000, was totally
destroyed by fire on Thursday night. Fortu
nately the fire broke out after the audience, esti
mated at considerably above 2000 persons, who
had attended the Patti concert, had withdrawn,
or a frightful loss of life would have resulted.
The concert was brought to a close at 11 P. M.,
and the alarm was given at lljg.
The fire broke out on the stage, and the flames
seizing with frightful rapidity upon the cur
tains, scenery, ropes, etc., soon converted that
part of the building into an immense bonfire,
and before the engines were in working order
the whole of the Interior was a prey to the de
vouring element. The exertions of the firemen
were consequently directed towards saving the
adjoining buildings, and they succeeded in their
efforts so well that by 2 A. M. they were out of
all danger. The part of the building in which
the music and dresses were kept, and which was
separated from the rest of the edifice by a pas
sage and wall, fortunately escaped de
struction. The Eafe was also saved. With
regard to the origin of the fire several versions
are being circulated. The lessee of the theatre,
Senor Curitl, who with his family had a very
narrow escape, says that on letting fall the cur
tain a counterpoise of the same struck a gas
tube and broke it, and on that account tho
lights were all extinguished before the audi
ence bad well left the building. A strong odor
of gas being still observable, the lessee, in com
pany with the light-tender, proceeded to ex
amine with a light the subterraneans below the
stage, when an explosion occurred, the impru
dent lessee and his companion being severely
burnt, while the flames shot up through the
opentng and spread in the manner already
described.
MURDER AT TITUSYILLE.
Hatchery Unparalleled Murdered for .Money
The citizens of Titusvllle were throwa into a
state of excitement on Saturday morning by the
discovery of the body of a man named James
H. Wlsner, lying at the south end of the Frank
lin street bridge, iu a horribly mutilated condi
tion. The Titusvllle Courier says, in its issue
of Saturday: "About 1 o'clock this morning a
son of Mr. Beebe, who lives at the south end of
the Oil Creek Bridge, on Franklin street, got up
to go to the refinery where he is employed. As
he reached the end of the bridge he
FOUND THE IIODY
of a man lying dead, weltering in a pool of
blood, with traces of blood along the footwalk
of the bridge, and every evidence of a horrible
murder having been committed. Near by was a
large pool of blood, and near the centre of the
bridge, on the footwalk, the snow was bespat
tered with blood in a manner indicating that
this was the spot where the struggle ensued.
The pockets of the murdered man were turned
inside out, giving evidence that the murderer's
object was money.
In his coat-pocket was fouud an envelope,
having. on it the address of "James II. Wlsner,"
and in it a notification of the expiration of a
life insurance policy on February 1, and signed
by M. C. Tuttle. Through the address on the
envelope, the murdered man was identified as
being James II. Wlsner, and bis brother, who
lived near by, on the south side of the creek,
was aroused and notified of the murder.
TUB BROTHER'S STOMY.
From the brother of the murdered man we
learn that for the past five weeks he bad been con
fined to the house from sickness, having only
been able to go out for the first time on Thurs
day. He was twenty-five years old, and a
widower, with one child, a Utile girl about five
years ef age, who is living with his brother. Ho
was also living with his brother, aud was at
home at supper, ana mat was me last seen ot
him by his family. He was a native of Ithaca,
New York, and has been in Titusvllle a number
pf years.
At last accounts no clue to the murderer had
been obtained.
