A RaIIwrt Horror.
A frightful accident occurred on Satur
day evening, the 28th nit., at 0 o'clock on
the Great Western railroad, 8 miles cast of
Kokonia, and 7 miles west of London, by
which a number of lives wore lost and
many persons badly burned and otherwise
injured. A lire broke out in the water
closet of a car by the lamps falling on the
floor, and immediately the car took Are.
Efforts were niRcie to subdue the flames,
but without success, fire communicating
rapidly to the wholo car. The passengers
rushed to the hinder part of the car, runic
iug it impossible for any ono to got out
by the door. Borne escaped by the win
dows, while a great many, unable to escape
" were burned to a crisp.
The bell rope was not attached to the
engine, consequently there was no way of
stopping the train. It was running nt the
rato of thirty miles an hour, and ran about
three miles before it could be stopped.
The car was entirely burned in ten mia
utes, burning liko tinder. At present it
is supposed that about ten persons wero
burnod to death and the same number in
jured, some very seriously, by jumping off
the train.
Several bodies were burucd to a crisp,
and it will be impossible to identify them.
Later. -Among the burned remains of
the victims of Saturday night's railway ac
cidont there is one face that is perfectly
recognizable as that of ono of tbo unfor
tuuate young ladies. A locket she wore
was found on her neck in goad preserva
tion. Last night eight coffins were sent to
Kokonia station. Yesterday afternoon in
searching among the wreck a number of
gold nuggets were found, supposed to be
melted jewelry ; also two gold watches,
which have been identified.
After seven corpses bad been identified a
number were sun left, and it was supposed
mat one or two others naa gone.
Who Owns this Money!
Mr. Thaddeus Durling a well-to-do
farmer living in the town of Chester, Or
ange county, N. Y. Among the heirlooms
bequeathed to Mr. Durling by bis father,
was an old, clumsy writing desk, which
had descended from father to son for many
generations. At last the desk was thrown
into the corner of Mr. Durling's wood-shed.
Here it was seen by a neighbor, Mr. Geo.
Mapes, who took a fancy to it. On men
tioning this to Mr. Durling, the desk was
given to Mr. Mapes. Mr. Mapes sent the
desk to Mr. Itumsey, the village cabinet
maker, to have it repaired and varnished
The desk Btood in the door of Mr.ltumsey's
shop, where it attracted the attention of a
Mr. Seeiey, an Orange county farmer,
After looking at it, Mr.Seeley said, " Kum
sey, that looks like one of the old desks
with secret drawers hat you sometimes
read about."
"That's a fact," replied Rumsey : "gup.
poso we Bearch the old thing and see what
we can find."
An investigation was at once made, and
soon a little narrow secret drawer was dis
covered. In this drawer wero twenty-one
American silver dollars, the coinage run
ning back into 1700.
Of course the news of the discovery soon
flew through the village. Mr. Durling and
Mr. Mapes both claimed the money from
Mr. Rumsey. At he could not determine
who was entitled to it, he placed the money
in the bank to await the arbitration of the
court before which a suit is now pending
as to who is the rightful owner.
. The case is the universal topio of conver
sation the townspeople and farmers for
miles around. Some contend that the
money belongs to Durling ; some say that
he gave the desk and all it contained to
Mapes, while others say that Mr. Rumsey
and Mr. Seeiey are the rightful owners.
A Profitable Bed Quilt.
A curious illustration of the ingenuity of
smugglers In defrauding the revenue re
cently came to light at Suspension Bridge.
There was a sale of confiscated goods by
the Collector at that port some time ago,
and a gentleman, for the fun of the thing,
made a bid for the possession of an ordi
nary looking bedquilt or comforter. He
got it for fifty cents and took the second
hand thing home, where its arrival dieted
no great enthusiasm. After being con
temptuously kicked about tb house for
some time, the quilt was finally assigned to
a servant's bed. By and by rent oc
curred in its calico integument, and the
servant girl one day chanced to notice a
corner of superior looking stuff emerging
from the aperture. An examination was
made, and some rich results followed the
old quilt's dissection. Five yards of rich
pink silks, nine yards of heavy black ditto,
a qunntity of velvet ribbon and numerous
silk neckties were successively, exhumed
from Us capacious interior, greatly to the
astonishment of the owner. Since the affair
transpired there has been an active demand
at the Collector's sale for bcdquilts, but the
importation does not seem to be kept up.
tSfOn Saturday night Ann Toner, a
young widow residing on the Heights, in
Jersey City, in a fit of jealousy drew a re
volver and fatally shot her affianced bus
bond, John Kennedy. The ball entered
his brain, but was successfully extracted
and the man may recover. He asserts that
it was not Mrs. Toner who shot him, but
a man who walked behind them. Ills state
ment is not generally believed.
