The girl swore positively to the statement given. When asked why she had not revealed" the murder before she said that Mrs. Boswell had threatened to "fix" her as she had the peddler if she breathed a word »f it, but being unable to retain the secret longer she had called upon the Mayor. Officers left this afternoon to investigate the case with the girl, who asserted that she could direct them to the tree where the woman had buried the body. Youngstowk, O., Aug, 20.—Cora Williams, a colored girl, 15 years old and of bright appearance, called upon Mayor Montgomery this afternoon and related a startling story. Three years ago she was bound out by her father to Mrs. Boswell, a colored woman residing near Canfield. A year ago, she said a pack peddler called at the house and displayed his wares, but nothing was displayed by Mrs Boswell. The peddler began repacking and while he was in a stooping position Mrs. Boswell approached from behind and struck him on the head with a stove lid. The blow killed the peddler and after rifling his pockets Mrs. Boswell compelled the girl to assist her in carrying the remains through a field to a certain tree, where a grave was dug and the body buried. Returning to the house the peddler's pack and contents, with the exception of some silk which she kept, were burned by Mrs. Boswell.

I ooald baaronr Dr, Aage Wern, of Copenhagen, a young dentist, who it on hit waj to Philadelphia to complete hi* studies, wee among the TbiDgvalla't passengers. He made the following statement to an Associated Prett reporter: Capt. A. Albert. of the Weiland, telle the following story : "At three o'clock on the morning of Aogntt 14 we paaaed aome wreckage floating in the tea, and inspected that an accident bad happened tomewhere near nt. A little later we tailed through a tea of oil and lighted a broken boat of the Geiter. About 11:30 we taw a iteamer to the northward abont eight milet off, and teeing the had a flag of dittreat np we ran down to her. It proved to be the Thiogyalla, and Capt. Lamb, of that vessel, came to nt in a until boat and begged nt to take off hit pataengera and thoee he had laved from the Geiter. He taid hit own vetael wae to badly injured that he expected her to link at any mo ment. Hit forward compartment had been completely carried away from half way frou the deck to below the water line. We tent ont three of oar boata and the Thingyalla lowered two of hers, and in flye bonis we had transferred the taved passengers aud crew of the Geiser, and also 455 pataengera of the Thingyalla. The tea waa very rongh at the time and the work of tranaferring the passengers waa very difficult. The immense hole in the Thingvalla'a bow wae then patched np as wall as possible, and the started for Halifax. The oollition, aa far aa known, waa oanaed by the fog." The Oeiter left this port on August 11, bound for Stettin. The Thingvalla was on her way to this City, and was advertised to leave here on August 25. A very heavy sea and a dense fog were experi- through the night and early morning of august 14. It is said an object oonld not be distinguished fifty feet away by reason of the fog. Stories differ ae to where the liability lies, if not wholly due to the fog and heavy sea, bat the Thingvalla struck the Geiser on the atarboard side .amidships, olose on to 4 o'olook in the morning. The boats then parted, and within five minutes the Geiser tank. The crew of the Thingvalla did all they oonld to save tho Geiser's crew and p«*sengers while still in doubt aa to wether the Thingvalla was not dangeronsly disabled, but owing to the heavy sea only thirtyone were saved. No other vessel was near at the time. The "Weiland, on her way to this port, was 100 miles away. At 11:10 o'olook on the morning of the 14th the Weiland was sighted. Signs of distress were made by the Thingvalla, and a transfer of the passengers. New York, Aog. 16. -The ataamabi p "Wieland, Capt. Albera, from Hamburg AngnatS, via Havre the 7th, with marchandiaa and 113 cabin and 453 ateerage paaaengera arrived today and reporta that on Angnat 14, thirty mitoa annth of Sable Ialand, at noon aha «aw the Daniah ateamer Thing - valla with algnals of dtotreaa.

At the spot Mr. Quirk discovered a large aperture, or rather a cave. The men dug into it and almost the first thing they found wm a skeleton. Lying beside it was a valise almost fallen to pieces. In thia was found four gold watches, a set of diamond ear-rings, two diamond fingerrings, ten sets of silver spoons, five silver watches, |272 in gold, $1,861 in greenbacks, $303 in Mexican dollars, and a letter written by 8. E. Clendepher, Company K. Nineteenth Iowa Volunteers, to J. Hawkins, Company E Fifth PennaylvaniaCavalry. A Dumber of regulation United States battons were also picked up. It ia supposed some wounded soldier crept into the hole and died before he could get ont A Union officer's sword, two or three muskets, aeveral revolvers, a gold toothpick and a locket were found upon further search. In the extreme rear was a petrified body. It was in almost perfect shape. In a ■mall tin box was a lock of long brown and what was probably a knot of ribbon. At hod m the bandita had oeaaed firing the ininifiin Mid trainmen itarted is porsait, bat, as the fngitives were on hocaee, which had been tethered new daring the fight, they had no diflloalty in their escape. When the new* of the attempted robbery reached Rawlins, than was intenee excitement among the oOeiale. At 8 o'oloek the Sheriff of the eouty, with 15 armed and monnted cowboys, on the trail of the robbers who are believed to be moving slowly, owing to the condition of their wonaded oomrade. It is thoagbt the gang will be overheated before to-morrow morning. The Governor of the territory and Superintendent Dickinson have each offered a rewareof|500 for every mam captured. Nest and Till■u are in this city. Their wound* are peing treated by the company's surgeon. Beth will reeover. If the thlevea had been eaeeessfal in rifling the expreaa car they wonld have aeoued $100,000 The firing aroused the paaeengera, who, after oonoealing their valnablea in all manner of ways, thrust their heada ont of the windows to discover the source of the fnsilade. The bandita, seeing that their plana had failed, now made preparations to eeeape. In doing so the man who had been guarding the engineer and firemen waa forced to abandon his post in order te assist the wonnded bandit into the thicket. Thia gave the train men a chance to recover their nerve, and in a moment gone were blazing away from car windows, platforms and half-open doors. The fnsilade, although wild, sroused the bandits to farther action, and, with six-shooters in either hand, they returned the fire with Interest. Fireman Nash who had approached to within a few feet of the outlaws, was shot in the arm, the bnllet striking the bone and shattering it, The fire of the passengere was silenoed by the three men, who now retreated under cover of the fog, the wounded bandit being helped by his comrades. Dating their retreat they kept up an incessant fnsilade on the train, some of the ballets breaking the windows of the ooachea, while one pieroed the engineer's jacket Brtkemu Tillman, u soon as 1m tm ■hot, began yelling for help, and although painfully wonnded, managed to drag himself npon the rear platform of the baggage oar. While one of the bandit* was left to guard the engineer and fireman, his oompaniona started toward the txpna car. They had gone but a short distance when the door* of the express and postal cars suddenly flew open, and at the same time two Winchester rifles exploded almost simultaneoudy. The express messenger and the postal olerk wen now defending the train. One of the bandits fell at the first volley. He had been shot through the leg. His oompanion, however, made a desperate stand, and for two or three momenta fought the two riflemen single-handed, and at the disadvantage of being exposed to fire, while his opponents were sheltered. The messenger and olerk fired throagh the crack in the door, but were wild in their aim. Although they fired at least a dozen shots, bat one took effect. The bandit who had not been wounded, and who stood close to his oomrade, blazed away at the door ontil he had ten bullete within twoinohes of each other. liwum, Wra, Ang. 18.—Eastboand passenger train No. 2, an the Union Pacific Railroad, stopped to take water at the Dana tank, near thii city, a* thU morning. The fireman had jut clambered •at of the cab to lower the pipe, when three maaked men came oat of the heavy fof which hoag oror the earth, and with drawn revolver*, demanded that the engineer, the fireman and the head brakeman throw np their handa. The engineer and Hi—ii did ae they were told, bat Brakeman Frank Tillman, who is a maaenlar joang man, dropped hie lantern, and, grappling with one of the robbers, threw him down and rolled him into the ditch. Tillman then ran towards the expreee car, to get a gan, when the bandite opened die on him, wounding him in the arm and hip.
