TUe Captain was interviewed and said: "Onthe3oth of July we wero in Retiring 8ea, as nearly as we can judge about fiO miles went of St. Paul, when we sighted the cutter Rush steaming up to us on our quur tor. We at once hove too. .Some miir.iU-s afterward a bout put off from the Rush, and Lieut. Tuttle boarded our vessel. He asked for tn y papers, which I at oneo handed him, and lifter perusing them ho proceeded with two men to search the ship. He didn't find anything, however, though it is Hot to say there was nothing to find aboard. "After coming out of the hold, when he lntd linintieil searching the sliip, I said to Liutit. Tuttle; 'Well, what luck have you had in the search." He said: 'I II tell you: On the 1 ltli of July wo captured the Black Dia mond and dispatched her to Sitka with a (nan on !ard to take churgo of Iter. On the JCU of July we sighted the schooner Minnie. Hit owner, t'npt. Jucobsoii, wits aboard at the time, and she had Pl.'i seals. We took HMe.xsinii of her, and dispatched her to Sitka also.

Wu then set sail for the South and arrived Monday at Neah liay. I left my schooner there and came up from Caiw Flattery to Tort Townsend. I caught the Olympian nnd have just reached Victo ria. My schooner will, I expect, be on tho road to Seattle now. I leave hero on the Olympian to rejoin her." Intense excitement prevails ut present, Itoth of tho seized schooners are well known ami their catch is a very valuable one. Tho Alger had 3i skins when boarded. It now appears that on the trip down ('apt.

When Lieut. Tuttle went uhoard the Alger several of his men expressed themselves us heartily sick of their work. BIO OIL FIRE. The oil refinery of A. D. Miller Jk Co., on I'rcble avenue, Allegheny, was totally de stroyed by lire Wednesday morning. The Humes from it raged all day and it was thought at times that tho destruction which the tiro was causing would extend to other parts of tho city. All morning more than half a dozen (t reams of water were pouring on the llames, but the) seemed to be ot little avail. In thu buildings w here the liremeii were ut work there were stored moro than 'Joo barrels of benzine which caught tiro from the intense heat. The firemen made many brave ell'orts to save thu storing-house, hut they soon found it was of no avail. Tho whole refinery is a mass of ruins and nothing was saved ox tept fi.OoO barrels ol 'refuted oil. Engineer Thornton Miller was ought in the llames and burned almost beyond roe Jgii'.tion. Hi body was recovered, but if it had not been know n that he was missing it uevcr could have been ascertained whose the remains were, lie was burned to a crisp. Tho p ant and stock was (tituated by Mr. Miller to lie worth about ? J ,(), on which there was an insurance o' f.Vnioo. Kd wards A: Kennedy, who placed tho insurance, said the loss would fall ulmost entirely upon for eign companies. Only about two thirds of theproptrty insure l is destroyed, the bal ance Hot being in thu tire. I'OK WRECKING THE TRAIN'. TWO MKN AIIIIKMTKD AND CONFKSS THAT THEV I' LAC ED TUB OlMiTUTCTloN.

Thu tr in came upon the obstruction, and tho engineer did not see anything on thu track until within :J yards of thu point of dan gor. lie did all in his power to stop ,t ho train, but the speed was so great that t!io en Kino ran head on over the planks. The train was derailed but hardly any one was in jured. Detective Wheatly was put at work, and, after a month, locatts) tho men whom ho ur rested Thursday. Dowden, when arrested, made a full confos.sion,sayingthut it was the outcome of a drunken freak. Magistrate tiripp held the men for trial A YACHT HQ Ed DOW.V.

There have been no further develop ments regarding the Wauregan factory, and the trado ia concerned chiefly now in an in quiry as to its cause and probable effect. It ia the general opinion In Providence, Rhode Island, that ruuch of the distrust of manu facturing paper manifested since the failure, and eciully by Boston bankers, Is unwar ranted by fact. A number of prominent business men agree in the opinion that the condition of our cotton goods Industries as a whole it sound. These failun do not indicate any unhcalty condition of the trade; the latter is Considered In good shape, with stocks well n bund and In some lines contracted far 'ad. In some grades slight concessions have hriMi made this year, but the business as a whole Is profitable, and as far as can bo earned there is no mill doing what is con sidered a large buslncs, while thero are none n iinuiicinl strait. There is good outhortity for tho prediction that some lliiortuut changes will soon oc ur in the ull'uirs ot the Atchison, Topeku- and Santa Fe Railroad. The measures adopt ed at the htst annual meeting to provide funds for paying maturing obligations, and to adjust other diltlculties of the company, have not turn d out as anticipated, and the Inst state of the case is likely to bo worse than the first. In other words, the new di rectory, w hich was supposed to represent un limited capital and supervising ability, has proved to be less effective in both respects than the old one, and the results lire almost certain to bring on the upjioiulmcnt of a Re ceiver for tho proiicrty.

As the stage was running along at a lively gait through I dense forest, when about two miles from the station, a man jumped out In front of it and pointing two big navy revolvers at the driver, commanded him In good old West ern style to throw up his hands, at the same time extending the same order to the four passengers inside the coach, with the fur ther provisions that they 'shell out' all loose valuables ami currency. Ono of the passengers went down In his pocket, but instead of bringing up hit pocketbook, he clinched a pistol In his hand and began bring at tho robber.
