Only one person on the train escaped injury. The bridge is on a curve and about twenty feet above the water. Engineer Deal felt the bridge giving way, and putting on all steam reached the opposite bank in time to savo his engine. The baggage car, passenger oeach pud bridge fell a complete wreck into tho canal, the water reaching to the windows of the passenger car. Help arrived immediately, and the work of removing the dead and wounded commenced.

As the ran the flames streamed out beh: :d her, and her shrieks were heartrendering. One of the sisters of mercy had presence of mind enough to ■natch a door mat and follow her. Just aa the burning child reached the doorway the sister caught her and threw the door mat about her shrinking form. Several men who were passing ran to the rescue. Coats were thrown arothtd the child, smothering the flames. Some one cried "tear her clothes off." Portions of her burning garments were rent from her and her quivering, blistering back was disclosed to view, but the fire was out: Physicians say that Maggie McCale cannot live.

Quebec, Ont, Oct 38.—The Marquto of Lansdowne, who succeeds the Marquis of Lorne as governor general of Canada, was sworn into office by the judge of the supreme court Both Lord Lorne and the Princess Louise, together with the members of the cabinet, were present at the ceremony. Much excitement has heen caused by a rumor that a plot exists to assassinate the new governor general Opinions are divided ns to its reliability. Every precaution has been taken to secure the governor general's safetj'. When Lord Lonsdowne was first selected for the post there was much dissatisfaction among the Irish citiiens of the dominion, who urged his uusuitability on the ground that lie is an Irish landlord, whose course towards l is tenantry has been marked with great severity. Again, quite recently two young men were arrested at Halifax with dynamite and infernal machines in their possession. Podsibly the rumor of assassination lias no dther ground for reliability than this latter fact There is a fear that all foreigners in China may be attacked by the natives.

Washington, Oct. 23.—I met 0110 of Senator Mahone'a most intimate friends last week, and asked him how Virginia is going this year. "You can bet your bottom dollar,* said he, "that Mahone will sweep the state." "What makes you think soj" ""I take Mahone's word for It." "And do you consider Mahone'a word infallible?" ' Yes; on anything touching politics in Virginia I never knew him to go astray. On that little dried-up body he carries the biggest brain in America. He is his own political organiser, and through his system of chieb and sub chiefs he knows how every man in the state will vote. The night before the legislature that sent him to the senate was elected he went over every precinct in the state with me and put down its vote on a piece of paper. Then he figured up his totals, and when the returns came iu I pledge you' my word he was only fifty-six votes out of the way in his estimate of the republican majority." "And how will Virginia go next yearf "Republican, unless Mahone sees that the drift is going strongly in the other direction, and then he will be on the winning side; it all depends on Mahone and nobody else." THE BEST! DUKES AND DUCHESSES. SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS. Tht Bow Between the Dukei of Ed* takurgli and Saxe-Cobourg. London, Oct. 23.—The reason for the «b-rupt departure of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh from.the boil given in their honor by the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha, at his castle in Cobourg, have just oome to light. It appears that their royal highnesses iusisted upon the omission from the list of invitations of the names of the wives cf two of the court officials of the duchy, one of whom wai formally an actress and the other having been divorced previous to her marriage with her present husband. The Duke of Saxe- Cobourg not deeming the antecedents of the two ladies in question sufficient grounds for excluding tbam, demurred, but was met with a firm resistance on the part of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. The Duke of Saxe- Cobourg thereupon gave orders prohibiting the attendance of any of the court officials. Tpon hearing of this decision of their host, the Duke and Duchess abruptly left the castle. As the Duke of Edinburgh is the heir oi the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg, the episode may lead to some amusing complications. Tbey are Denounced by thr Presby PrrrsBuiws-Pa., Oct. 83.—At the morning session of the Presbyterian Synod it was agreed to hold the next synod in the Walnut street church', Philadelphia, on the third Monday in October, 1884. The Presbytery of West Virginio wa3 censured for loose methcds of licensing, and the Presbyteries of Huntingdon and Shenongo were also rebuked for various causes. The evening session was devoted to a discussion of the desecration of Sabbath, and resolutions were adopted and directed to be read from the pulpits of all churches under the" synod's control, deploring the increasing inroads upon sticredness of the . Sabbath, and earnestly calling upon its church members to sit thernselves against such desecrations. The resolutions also urges professors of Christianity to refrain from patronizing or allowing within their houses secular Sunday newspapers, the carrying aud open sale of which on our streets is of a most demoralizing tendency and tho reading of which is positively evil. After the usual complimentary resolutions to their entertainers, etc., the synod adjourned. ■  terlan Synod In Ptttsburs. Many attempts have been made to bring Blaine and Conkling together, but it is needlees to lay that they have all failed. One noted one I happened to know something •bout De Witt Clinton Wheeler, at one time a heavy merchant in New York, subsequently a contractor for Indian supplies, and very recently one of the police commissioners of New York (who is known among his familiars mftfMpt" Wkeeler), thought he could raaclfilMfami %£ ii»«r reli* Fwith•rIy—Svey*ly's friend. He knew both and Conkling well, and he thought he gould arrange it This was four or five years ago, when Blaine was speaker and Conkling senator from the imperial state of New York. The curtain rose for the first act at 8:38k The intervals between acts were exceedingly long. Nilsson, Del Pueute, Scalchi and Campanini received many flowers. Campanini carried away a fire screen of drab silk with the word "Faust" and a bunch of flowers painted on it It was bung on a bamboo, brass-tipped frame, whose top bore the monogram, "I. C." Mme. Alwina Vatleria (Mrs. R. H. P. Hutchinson) the primma donna, was also among the passengers by the Servia, as were also ex-Governor and Mrs. John T.

Wheelar at that time had loads of money (he may have yet for aught I know), and he to Washington to fix things up. He knew Conkling rather better than ho knew Blaine, and so he went to the New York senator first I ought to have said that Wheeler (eonfldsnt of Us eaaxm) had ordered the bsst dinner that money could buy— he is a judge of dinners. His object was that Blaine and Conkling should meet at this big dinner at Welcker's, the best restaurant In the world, except Boldt's. There were to be twelve-persons Dreamt—Gen. Grant, a few of his cabinet ofllcers, a few senators and OMRlfcfc of fwoign ministers «nd Judges of the supreme court to make up the number. Wheeler and ordered fompano from New Orleans, buffalo tongue "and bear meat from the plains, terrapin from the eastern shore of Maryland, canvas back ducks from Havre de Grace, celery from Albany and wines from the best cellars in the worid.

WASHINGTON'S COACH The ladies were nearly all dressed in white, or very light colors, and this, with the plainness of the decorations, made a conspicuous want of color in the auditorium. It was relieved here and there by the brightness of opera cloaks thrown over the railings, and by the bunches of pink roses laid ou the rail. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 23.—Just at the close of the performance of Barrett's circus a fearful tragedy was enacted. Dock Bates was shot and instantly tilled by a man named Brilley. The cause of the affair was an old feud between the families. About seven years ago, at Antioch, Davidson county, Bates, without provocation, killed a brother of Brilley's at a dance while he was standing ou the floor with a young lady. Bates was tried, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary, and only recently served out his term. Bates and Brilley met at the circus for the first time since Brilley's release. As Bates was walking out of the circus Brilley approached him and told him he was gosng to kill him, at the same time drawing his revolver and firing into Bates' breast. Bates then pioked up a small child to protect himself and attempted to flee. He was again fired upon, falling dead upon the ground. Brilley was arrested. AFTER CHURCH. - And a Man Who Wants to Drive two Peculiar Chicago Horrors— mysterious murders. FURNACE, President Arthur In It. * Chicago, Oct. 23.—A few years ago people living in the suburbs of this city were horrified by the discovery of a murdered man whose headless trunk was found in the woods, oear Winnectka, and whose detached head yma tumbling about the lake shore. The mystery has never been cleared up, and probably never will. Another horror was revealed when Geo. C. Campbell, of Hinsdale, while walking in the woods, near Fullersburg, stumbled over the skeleton of a man with remnants of decayed flesh and rotted clothes clinging to the bones. A few feet distant was the skull. The remains were concealed in underbrush, and had the appearance of having been there a long time. A few tufts of iron gray hair were clinging to the skull, and the clothes were evidently of A"" quality and cut. Further investigation may reveal the cause that lead to thif ghastly evidence of murder. An Unpleasantness Renewed After ScrvU-eo—TUree Killed. New York, Oct. 38.—The executive committe in charge of evacution day's centennial celebration: has received an application from Benjamin Richardson, of No. 88 East 125th street, asking permission to introduce a novel and interesting feature in the grand procession. Mr. Richardson writes that lie is the owner of th% identical traveling carriage used by President Washington during the closing years of his life—the famous chariot in which the father of bis country made a tour of the soutEern states during his presidency, driven by his favorite coachman, John Fagan, and traveling, it is said, 1,900 miles. Mr. Richardson asks to be allowed to .drive this historic coach in the parade, and is ambitious of the honor of having for his passengers President Arthur, Gov. Cleveland and the secretary of war, Mr. Lincoln. The committee will probably give a favorable answer to Mr. Richardson's request Augusta, Gn., Oct. as.—A bloody affray occurred Kunday near Mcliean church, in Burke county. Thomas B. tSyuia and his sons Frank and Thomas had some difficulty with the Rogers family during a ball game on batnrday, and after church the unpleasantness was renewed. The three Byius were all shot, one after another, by J. B., J. M. and Warren Rogers, Rufus ItcNarrell and John Cox. Thomas B.

People sneesed in the balcony. The ladiee in the boxes wore low-necked dresses, almost without exception. In the orchestra seats light bonnets wero generally worn. Few people went away until the end of the fourth act, which was at midnight Mr. Vanderbilt then led for home. MOST PERFECT WORKING THE CHARLIE ROSS MY8TERY. Bbooklth, Oct. 23.—In a fire column lettor just received from Dublin and published in a local paper James MeDermott, the recently discharged suspect, gives a very full and graphic account of bis movements from the time he left New York until his arrival and subsequent arrest' in Liverpool as well as a statement of the events of his trial and final discharge by tbe British government. He denies all the statements and assertions of the dynamiters and endeavors to prove that he was neither an informer nor a'spy, nor was in any way connected with that body. A draft of his letter he goes on say will be submitted to Dr. Gallagher, who is in prison, and if approved by him he will go body and boots into the matter so as to substantiate his assertions. His whereabouts at present he prefers to remain uuknown, although ho does not anticipate any further annoyance from the British authorities. McDermott Explains.

Mosher begged that his life should be spared twenty-four hours, and ■aid he would give the world information for which It had been seeking for years past. He admitted having had in custody a person held for ransom for more than a year, and said he had been driven to the far west by the hot pursuit of detectives. The time was not allowed him, and ho died with the secret The crime for which Mosher was lynched was the killing of J. H.

Prof. 2. M. Gregory presided, and seated upon the stage were all the prominent colored people of the capital. Frederick Douglas delivered the first address. He counseled moderation, but urged the colored people to right their wrongs at the ballot box. He was followed by Col. R. G.

To cover all expenses it is acknowledged that the new house will have to take in 17,600 •very opera night; the academy can cover on (4,000 on any but Patti nights, *8,000 will be required, and to offset the attractions of the rival house Mapleson will probably have Patti sing as often as possible, eo that it may safely be computed that New York will have to pay out $15,000 a night for two nights, at least, during the season. It is not believed that this result can be attained, especially with such disractions as Irving, and later on the balls and large entertainments of the season. The seats at the new house have sold well for the first few evenings, and $35 have even been paid for a single seat the first night, but that this will contine, even in a lesser degree, after the novelty is worn off, is hardly probable.

The story is not denied, but is explained by a circumstantial statement that Mr. Robinson was taken there when insane, and that after he had partially recovered ho remained there of his own choice. During-this time he had bis liberty and was able to perform work more than would compensate for bis board. His brother, the father of Congressman Robinson, frequently visited him and furuished him with clothes, and more would willingly have been done for him had it been desired. When he died he was buried from the house of his brother.
