A DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Boiler Explosion at Titusville, Pa.
Wetako tho following from the Titusville
Herald of Tuesday: About four o’clock yester
day morning, the boiler of the Funk well, on
the Hakes’ Jot, near the eastern line of the
city limits, exploded with terrific force,smash
ing the engine-house into fragments and
seriously injuring the engineer, a young man
named Jesse Hayes. There was no other per
son in'or about the engine-house at the time
of the accident, ‘ but immediately after a
crowd collected near it. The unfortunate'
man above named was found beneath the
.ruins of the engine-house. He was carried
into a house near, by,- when Dre. Barr and
Moody were called to attend him. On an ex
amination being made it was found that his
skull was terribly fractured, one of his eyes
badly eiitj. and his left leg and back severely,
bruised, but, singularly enough, he was not -
scalded.; ; At first lt .was thought that he was
fatally injured; hut as ho was in a somewhat
improved condition, it was then thonght that
he may possibly recover.
Tho dome of the boiler was broken off-and.
thrown into the air to a great height, and the
furnace-door was thrown about one hundred 1
feet. The boiler, a mass weighing riot less ■
than .three thousand pounds, was hurled
through two derricks and a piece of woods to;
a point at least live hundred, feet from where
it had stood. The derricks through which it
passed wereliterally cut off, andm the- piece
of woods the broken limbs arifi twisted trunks
of trees boro witness to, the great force by
.■which it was impelled. ; In its progress it

Piiilnntliropfst. .
• f From llie time* of Sot. 11, | '
Aesterday, a little after noon, the remains of
the late Mr. Geo. Peabody were deposited in
their temporary resting-place in Westminster
Abbey, them to await their removal to
America. It is understood that although the
departed philanthropist used to express a
wish to end his days in England, he had con
structed, or ordered to he constructed, a mau
solemn in. his native Statebf Massachusetts,
looking forward to tho day when iiis boncH
should rest among his own people.
The liourfor tho arrival of the funeral at the
Abbey was fixed at l.:tO; and about ouo
o’clock the funeral cortege' set out from the
residence of Sir Curtis M. Lampson, No. 80
Eaton square, where Mr. Peabodv died. It
consisted of a hearse drawn by four horses,
preceded by a lid of plumes, and followed bv
five mourning coaches. In the first were Sir
Curtis Lampson and Mr. Charles Reed, M. P„
(Ills two executors) his Excellency the United
States Minister and Mr. Benjamin Moran. In
tho second carriage wore Hon. E. Morse,
United States Consid-General; Mr. Josiah
Vice-Consul, and Messrs. George
and Henry Lampson. In . tho third
were Mr. Bussell Sturgis, Mr. J. 8. Morgan,
Mr. Horuerby and Mr. N'onnan Lampson. In
the fourth .were Mr. C. G. Gooch, Rev.
Thomas Nolan, Dr. Gall and Mr. W. H.
Covey (the medical attendants of the deceased
gentleman), and in the last carriage were Mr.
Gardiner and Mr. Winters (valet to Mr. Pea
body). After tho mpurners a long string Of
private carriages brought up the rear of tho
procession, including those of the Queen, the
Prince of Wales, bir Curtis Lampson, Mr.
Charles Ec-ed, M. P., his Excellency the
Minister of tho United States, the United
States’ Consul. ■
PpllbWiDg theline of route past St. Fetor’s
Church and along Victoria street, tho prooos
siom arrived at the Abbey about-1.30. ‘ The
pavements on either side of the streets, and
also the windows of many of tho houses, were
crowded, with spectators, and it was observa
ble that the crowd was largely composed of
the class which has so largely benefited by
Mr. Peabody’s munificence, and not a few
were dressed in mourning. The crowd was
most orderly and decorous, and showed all
possible feeling of respect for the good man
who was being carried to*the-Abbey. ... •
( On reaching the Abbey, the coffin contain- i
| ing Mr. Peabody’s remains was received bv, |
at the western entrance, the Canon in resi
dence, Canon Nepean, Rev. Lord John
Thynue, Archdeacon Jen mugs,'Be v. S. Flood
Jones, Rev. Frederick Harford, and the rest
of the Cathedral clergy, together with tho
Vicars choral and choristers. These were re
inforced with a considerable part of tho choir
of St. Paul’s Cathedral, who had volunteered
their services ou the occasion; they walked
before the body; two and two* Up the
nave, and under tjie triforium into the
choir. The coffin, which was covered with
handsome black velvet and sur
mounted by a wreath of immortelle.), was
carried by ten men and deposited on a
stage in front of the steps leading up to
the altar. The mourners took their places
on seats reserved for them on either side
Of the sacrarium, and inside the rails of the
Communion table were seated the Lord Mayor,
Sheriffs and Under Sheriffs, in theirollicial
robes, together with Mr. Gladstone and Lord
.Clarendon, who were in private dress, as
likewise was General Grey, who attended
as the representative of Her Majesty.
The “Sentences,” “I am the Resurrec
tion” haring been sung, and the 90th Psalm,
"Lord, Thou hast been our refuge,” having
been chanted by the choir, Archdeacon Jen
nings read the lesson from 1 Corinthians,
chapter xv. The lesson ended, the funeral
procession was resumed, and,while an anthem
was sung, the coffin was carried hack, as be
fore, into the nave and placed by the side of
an opening three feet deep, into which it was
lowered, the service at the grave being im
pressively read by the Sub-Dean, Rev. Lord
JohuTlivnne. At the conclusion of the ser
vice, the “Dead March” in “Saul” was played
on the organ by Mr. Turle, with his usual
skill and power.
The interior of the Abbey, to both the nave
and choir of which admission was given by
tickets, presented a very marked appearance
from the fact that every one was dressed in
mourning. It was observed that a very large
proportion of the spectators present were un
mistakably Americans; and, indeed, we be
lieve that in the distribution of tickets the
executors showed every possible anxiety that
as many of Mr. Peabody's fellow-countrymen
as desired should be present on tht? melan
choly occasion.
“While the “Dead March” in Saul was beiug
played, the mourners, one after another, step
ped forward to take a parting look at the
coffin as it lay in its shallow receptacle near
the third arch from the western ’door of the
nave. The mourners having then withdrawn
into the Jerusalem Chamber preparatory to
rejoining their carriages, the rest of tho con
gregation were admitted to see the coffin, ami
the lyrge crowd dispersed, but very gradually,
the Americans present being apparently anxi
ous to avail themselves of the opportunity
to gaze leisurely gt the monuments in the
nave and transepts of the Abbey. We
should add that a strong body of police were
present, who had no difficulty in keeping or
der.in spite of the enormous crowd both with
in and without the sacred edifice. ' Thci
funeral arrangements, whfPh were under the
charge of Messrs. Banting & Co., were in
every way satisfactory. '
The Queen had expressed a great wish to
see Mr. Peabody again, and to have some
conversation with that excellent man. In
fact, just before he left England,on the last oc
casion of his stayingin this country,hor Ma
jesty wrote a letter to him, requesting him to
let. her know of his return to England, when
ever that should he. Immediately upon Ids
arrival here, Mr. Peabody communicated
the fact to hor Majesty. The
Queen was aware chat ho was’’-in delicate
health, and conveyed to him her wish that on
her return from Balmoral he would visit her at
Windsor, where,without being obliged to dine
with her, or to go through anything which
might be a fatigue to him, she could see him
“quietly.” Wheß Her Majesty was made
aware of tho serious access of illness under
which Mr. Peabody was laboring, she pro
posed to come and see him at Sir Curtis Lamp
son’s house, in Eaton Squaro.twhere he was
staying. The rapid, tormimtion of the
disease, however; rendered tins impossible, to
Her Majesty’s deep regret.
THE SPANISH GEN BOATS.
Movements of the Spanish Fleet-Gneisses
, »t the President’s Intentions.
: Tho N. Y. Tribune says: -----
The Spanish fleet which' has 'beeri ordered
to New York for the purpose of convoying to
Cuba the gunboats now under seizure by
our Government, is part of tho Spanish-Cuban
squadron commanded by Admiral Malcampo,
under whose instructions the building of the
gunboats has been carried on. HoTias"des
patohed the convoying fleet thus promptly on
the completion of the first batch of the gun
boats, because his. government is especially
desirous that they may reach Cuba and com
mence operations, immediately. The work of
building the gunboats has from the first been
carried on with the greatest possible despatch:
audit is extremely annoying and offensive to
the Spanish Government that; there should
now he any delay about getting, them into ac
tive service. .Circuinstanceshave lately made
it riiore necessary than , ever that their arrival
iri Cuba should bq hastened; for Spanish in
tefests there, must :sufter ' enormously since

I, cannot ’afal! events, he much delay
onplie part of our Government in reaching a
dejpteiou about these gunboats. /l’hey were
yggerday libeled and turned over to the Mar
ahtUj tvhere they will reniain till a judicial de
cision is rendered. It is understood that the
cases will bo brought, tip immediately, and
I bolli parties are in active preparation for a
i.,*»flsrtiand decisive coutest. District-Attor
ney Pierrepont holds that our statute rc
<lmr®s the eondemnation of these gunboats,
while the Spanish representatives declare that
ptdrrefusal to deliver them up will be an in
sult to Spain which she will not be slow to
resent. Whatever he the decision of the
COitrt, the friends of the Cuban Republic
UCed not be disturbed at the result. Con
gress will presently be .in session, and It
will not bo an easy matter for Admiral
Malcampo 'to get the gunboats, into his
hands and out of this port -by that
thhe. Vi’e suppose that there is now not much
doubt that, soon alter meeting, Congress will
.take ground in. iavor of the recognition of the
belligerent rights of the Cuban Republic; and,
alter tjbat, there need be no fear that Presi-,
dent Grantwill delay a single dav in issuing
the proclamation which our Washington lottcr
, of.yesterday said was already drawn up. Of
course, the recognition of Cuba’s belligerent
rights would prevent The sailing from this
port, or any other American port, of any naval
expedition designed to assist the .Spanish au
thority. AS for the Spanish menaces of war
in case these steps are taken by our Govern
ment, we can only say it is not very likely our
Government will permit its policy to be dic
tated by Spain. *
.The "tables are turned. ' Messrs. Gould,
Fink, Lane and their fellow conspirators of
the Erie King are ho longer masters of the
situation. The law, in the hands of honest
Judges, is proving too much for them. An
order which has just emanated from the Su
preme Court of the Sixth District has stripped
off the authority they have abused, has di
vested them of the power -they have prosti
tuted', and has laid tile foundation for an in

"The plaintiff in tlie proceedings now iusti
uted in Delaware eotmty computes the
moneys received by the conspirators, during
their brief and eventful period of usurpation,
at not less than $H,293,(m The items enume
rated are: Earnings of the road, $19, 000, 000;
sale of new stock, $16,000,000; from Daniel
Drew, Treasurer, $5,513,000; new issue of
bonds, $750,000. He avers, moreover, that
there has not been kept among the
books and records of the company
"any account or full statement of
the times or amounts of the creation, issue or
sale of such, bonds and stock ‘‘ nor of the
persons to whom such sales were made, nor
of the price demanded, nor of the amounts re
ceived for the same, nor of the use made of
the proceeds therefrom;” that tho managers
of the King, to;; ther with the Sraith-Gould
iirm, " have had ihe use of all said money,”
and have employed it “in immense stock,
gold and other speculations.” It is not sur
prising that in the opinion of the plaintiff
“ said moneys are not in safe custody.’'
Among the enterprises specified in the-com
plaint as hairing been entered /ato with the
help of the Erie Company ’jf money, tlfe
“Grand Opera House" figures conspicuously - .
And among the incidental results of tile
King’s endeavors to acquire strength for its
own purposes, has been the formation of an
alliance with Tammany. The complaint sets
forth in this connection that Gould, Eisk & -
Co. “have been systematically in the habit of
interfering with political elections and move
ments, have used political influence and their
official positions, and have applied money
belonging to said Company for such pur
ticsesiurther compelling the Company’s
agents and employes "to use their influence
in connection with such purposes.”
* 1 *■ * . * ■*' *
The effect of the judicial action now .an-'
nounced will be to rid the Erie corporation of
the rule which has brought it to the verge of
ruin, and to compel Gould, Fisk aud their
partners to render a minute account of the
moneys of the company which have passed
through their hands, aud of the property be
longing to it which is still uudor their’con
trol. The mystery of the Erie iniquity will
be unveiled. Of course, the conspirators will
not surrender their bootv without a struggle,
dexterous aud desperate. Their appeal to
Tammany for help will scarcely go unheeded,
and we may expect to witness a revival of
tho scenes which not long ago disgraced the'
bench of this city,-when the sumo corrupt in
terest was in jeopardy. That any resistance
we can offer will be of much avail we do ■ not
believe. ; The order of a competent court has
suspended the eight activo members of the
ring; they- have no longer control of tho
company or its concerns; the secrets they have
guarded.will be dragged into open court. It
is satisfactory to know that of the four Judges
in the district in which these proceedings have
been instituted, ut least thTCc may ho relied
upon to maintain the integrity of the bench
against any assault which tho deposed
usnrpers may venture upon.
To the legitimate working of the road these
proceedings present no obstacle. Of tho seven
teen directors composing the board, eight have
been-suspended; tno nine who remain consti-
fute a quorum. The bondholders and stock
holders, and the public generally, will look to
them for suoh an administration of the Com
lany’s concerns as will in some degree repair
: he consequences of mismanagement, and re
store a confidence which Gould & Co. have
done their utmostto destroy..
Sixty Dakotas Burned Alive. ,
tfTrom the Yankton Dukotaian.]
Your readers art) more or less familiar with
the name of Two Bear, tho greatest Indian
chief in this portion of the country, of the
Yankton band of Dakotas. HJs party met
with a great disaster a short time since. They
were ,out .on a hunt .and were camped at the
bead of Knife river* § Afi >,day preceding the
night on which ipisfortune came upon them,
they said the an-.was full' of smoke, but being,
a calm clay could not tell the direction from
whfch it came. ; About midnight a brisk
breeze sprang up and before they could, get
out of their tepees the fire was down- upon
them. It is scarcely.possible to describe tho’
scene of confusion that followed, or the suffer
ing endured.
The fire consumed sixty tepees, arid burned
over sixty of the. Indians, besides mariv of,
thi ir ponies. Nine’-Indians have died; and'

AN INDIAN TRAGEDY.
there is a hand of forty tepees out ou t tie
. }lttirio that have not been heard front sine*
'he lire. Most of the badlv burned, also thd
ponies, were left with this hand. Tho provi
sions and blankots, in many eases, were en
tirely consumed, and their sufferings in con
senuenco are great.
Two Bear says the lire was worse than his
light with General Sully out at tho White Mi 11...
It the suffering was eonlined to the warriors
alone ltvvould not he so had, hut it extends to
women and children. J saw one baby with its
left hand burned to a crisp, the lingers wore
burned off to the second joints, and tho stubs
or fingers were drawn back. The little tiling
could not have been more than eight months
old; its face and head wore also badly burned.
It was crying bitterly, the mother mourning
most pitituily. The sight was truly distress
ing.
Two Bear has gone to tho Grand River
Agency to see if ho cannot got something for
tepees, as tho weather is quite cold, having
frozen to the depth of an inch on barrels of
water standing out doors.
THE BOSTON BANK ROBBERY.
Some Additional Particular*.
The Boston Trtnworini says:
There is nothing further of importance to
report in regard to this adroit operation be
yond the fact that an examination of the pa
pers and other property remaining in the
vault hv several of the depositors leads to tliuir
belief that the burglar or burglars have not
realized much more than $200,000 in bonds and
money. AH the parties interested had net ap
peared, however. A meeting of these per
sons was held tiiis forenoon,hut reporters wore
properly excluded. They will advertise their
losses as soon as thev are .definitely
ascertained. One gentleman, wo learn, has
lost $30,000 in bonds; another deplores the
loss of valuable keepsakes and family memen
toes ; and a lady in this eitv is congratulated
by hen friends on her good fortune In hating
a week ago taken a package of $25,000
in bonds from her box for purposes of .ex
change.
The hank officers are using every,endeavor
to assist the sufferers in ferreting out ilto
rogues, with a fair prospect, of eventual suc
cess. Tho bank itself has lost nothing. The
loss is shared by tlurty-thvee depositors, for
the safety of whose propertv the institution is
not responsible.
Various theories are afloat as to whom the
burglars are, their number, quality aud present
rendezvous. While several knowing ones in
sist that'a gang of front six to feu had part in
the “enterprise,” others, equally wist 1 , are cer
tain that Judson, who hired the’apartment ad
joining the hank, had but one confederate,'
and that, while Judson is safely ont
of reach, his “pal” remains “in town” with
the “swag” to “negotiate” with the losers.
AVe are’tncliued to the belief ttiat the first
theory is tile correct one, and that the some
what disappointed squad, with possibly one
exception— to “close out the'
to the best possible advantage.' Oh«K
thing is certain: they have proved themselves
thus far adepts at their profession, and are
evidently not the men to expose themselves to
the danger of penal servitude by undertaking
a liiedinm or paltry job.
Their discrimination, after gaining entrance
to the vault, shows their quality, and the
quantity of valuables,outside of bonds and
money in their possession is large .enough to
make business between them and the suffer
ers, whom, we infer, arc more interested ill
recovering their property than in any other
subject just at present. Their preliminary
meeting this morning, from casual remarks
dropped by those interested after adjournment,
did not smack of public interest to an extent
that would much alarm the thieves, had they
overheard them.
At Jast accounts the hank officers were gain
ing more and more information calculated to
aid them in ferretiug out the gang; and what
ever the losers may agree to by way of com
promise to recover their own, we have assu
rances that the Directors wifi not rest satisfied
until both tlie thieves and their booty are
secured.

by the Germans at the Academy, last evening,

bly “put out.” Mines. Frederic! and Hotter,

deserve credit for doing as well as they
did, under the circumstances, But the
opera has been done better in all respects
on former occasions in this city; for' in

son and StigoUi played the leading parts,,
and twenty-odd years ago, when the capital
French company from Now Orleans played it
in the old Chestnut, on the site where tips no
tice is written and printed, It is an opera' of
great difficulty, and it ought never to be
undertaken : except with a hrst-rate company
and consummate preparation. Without tnese,
it produced little effect last evening, and many
of the audience were so bored -that they loft
before the ; last act was reached.; This evening
Don Giovanni will benroduced, and to-morrow
