Havre de OrAci, MA, Oct. &—The outer shell or coffer dam of caisson No. 8, which is being sunk as a foundation for one of the pit/t of the proposed "new bridge of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad acroM the ,Susquehanna river at this point, gave way at 7 o'clock, flooding the crib; and air lock shaft, and filling the working chamber rapidly. Most of the nmn got out safely before the accident occurred, but. Patrick Kelly and five of his men were imprisoned in the submarine chamber. The caisson is larger than any of the others sunk for the bridge. It is GO feet long and 40 feet in width, and at the time of the aocident was 80 feet below the surface of the water. The entrance to the caisson proper is made through a perpendicular iron pipe, which is divided into locks. The working chamber, which is brilliantly lighted with electricity, is reached through these locks, each lock being protected by a gate. At the time of the aocident the men were working in the chamber under a pressure of 880 pounds of air, and when the locks flooded the only entrance or exit was cut off. The air apparatus, however, continued to work, which was their only salvation, and they r emalned in that condition until rescued by the ingenious superintendent, John O'Brien, who conceived an idea about 11 o'clock and quickly put it into practice. The outer lock was five feet under water, and the lock uext bel#w, which was fifteen feet deep, was full of water. Mr. O'Brien made a false lock of boards and caulked it tightly with oakum and cement; thon bailed out the water, descend 1 and raised the flooded lock; bailed that out, end, in company with John Bums, desemdod through their rudely constructed pii» and •escuod the six men who had for hours been ii such a perilous situation. The rescued raen worJ pale, haggard and muddy, but with the exception of ono, whose head w*s cut by a falling spike, were uninjured. This act of Messrs. O'Brien and Burns was loudly applauded and will not soon be forgotten, as it required great nerve to carry it out sabcesgfully. ,  Leaves no Traces. Bull Operator*. Ban Frakciboo, Oct 4—Alexander Montgomery, an age* millionaire living in Alt. - meda county, is seeking the aid of the courts to free bim from matrimonial bonds In whicli he claims to-have been involuntarily enmeshed. It is stated that six years ago Montgomery met at Co|uaa, Col., a very pretty inilin.r named Ltszis Green. Le yielded to the fascination* of her bcauly and became a suitor for her hand. Hho accepted him, prepared her wedding roboa and was ready at the time appointed to drop the role of milliner lor that of a millionaire'.! wife. The fickle loyer. however, did not aiD-' j ear and Lizzie remained Miss Green. Lasi summer, it is claimed, white Montgomery was lying ill in his reom there suddenly entered two sisters of his Jilted sweetheart, Mrs. Morrison and Mra Rodjers. Advancing to his bedside each of thani drew a revolver and threatened to kill hint unless hi mantel their slater. He gave a relucUn; assent. They left him trembling in hia bod. bu' soon returned, bringing with thorn a minister, the Rev. Mr. Horton, and the in tending bride. They also brought with them their revolvers. Montgomery propped hintself up in bed and permitted himsei' to l« married. His reply to the question, "D. yoo talfj tblC woman to be your lawfully wedded Wife?" was uttered in a very fucbh tone, but the sistei-s forced hiin to repeat U In one mors audible. lie then walked to tbe bureau and signed a paper, the content* of which he claims to be Ignorant, and then returned to hia bed. As soon as he was ablt he consulted his eouassl, and acting under their alvice he has applied for an annulment of the marriage. v.. ,/ Preparing to Welcome drover Cleveland—Blaine's Ohio Tour — The Wen Tliejr luceudl«rlee»—Three Men Ac* In a Very ftneplelona SI miner—A Pistol Shot Heard „ In tha Night.

The hack was wheeled around a short distance b3yond the bridge, and was drawn into the shadow of a tall wide-spreading maple, tt)e horses' beads being turned towards the town. A few rods beyond Mr. Bird's house, Mr. W. R. Jones, a lawyer, of Nos. 116 and 117 Nassau street, New York, is having erected a roller skating rink 150x90 feet Tlje work of construction is going on under the supervision of a man named B.

In front of the' t'ink there is a wooden slied in which the workmen keep theii»tools and in which building material worth several dollars were recentjy store !. Thero have been a great many fires in the town during tha past few months, and nearly all of them, it is asserted, were of incendiary origin. Bams and out-bouses, with their contents, have been destroyed, and some dwelling houses have also been fired. Rewards, ranging in amount from $250 to $1,000 In vo been offered for tho apprehension of the incendiaries by the mdjror and the fire iusr.rance companies, but no arrests have been made, nor have the malicious pru]wu-ities of some of the inhabitants been checks'. Cuivbland, Oct i— A group of oil men were discussing the conditiou of thing* generally, when this remark mi nuvle: "1 expect to buy crude oil within the next two jreara for twenty-Ove. ceota" The (peaker ww Col. Alfred WMttaker, ene if the leading refiavrs ef the West "On what da 70a base any Mich statemonl!" was nslced qoickly aad in seme surprise."It la a matter of the atearest logic," responded Mr. Whittaker. "You gentlemep liavo all seen oil ran$a from $10 a barrel to 49 cents, with las pressure on the market than thetfi is at present. Production has continual to increase until to-day there are 40,000,000 barrels in tank, and every day*be production is far above the consumption and oil continues to accumulate. The new Fisher Hold adds still more to the amount already on hand, one well recently opened producing from 2,500 to 8,000 barrels per day. Another fact we must bear in mind Is this: Tliut every week on the oil exchanges of the country all the oil in sight is sold over a (1 oz 'ii timet, while not a drop of it really oxchojiges hands. Every little while these men give a signal that the market must be kept up. All this is 4*n unnatural market, and the e etf hnnges are really so many play house's (or these speculative financiers to play in awhile. Remember, further, that we must have cheap crude in this country to hold the'export trade. The facts are that we only consume one-third of the oil refined here at home. 7 be balanoa is sold for aXporf, nn 1 ijoe* to every part of the world; fli „t, txicause of its cheapness, and second, beoatbo ut its superior quality. As one of the gheata that will always be a beaf on the market is the necessity of selling cheap to IidM our export trad*, b the face of this comes the production of petroleum la foreign countries, Russia especially,- where large retaeriee have hew built and are building. One of the bfcst evidences of this (act is tha recent sale of Rusetaa all over American oil 4a the German markets. These oils are pushing their war west, into England and Seeuartl, already. Of necessity they must cut off some of our export trade, no matter how lew we sell ear oil. The great cry of the last law years dnd the pet dream of the prodqoers. aad the holders of oil as well, has heea to get the production dawn equal to the coasumptton, and yet every day seaeus further aWay from that point The only hope that can be entertained. of high-priced crude—and when 1 say that I don't mean over t3 at most—la tc get the production down equal to the honM consumption, which is only one-third of tin pfeamt production. "With all tlieea almost inevitable poasi bili ties arrayed Against tha oil market, witl a financial depression which we may look fo in the next two or three years at loast, pit cipltated by wild railroad schemes, will stocks begging for a market, we are unoer tain where to make Inveetment*. It la Qo unreasonable to say, under all these clrcum stances, that 85 cents will buy crude oil with io the next two ye^p." R. K. C.VHH8,. Bint batnlon. MUSIC HALL ONE NIOHTONLY, Thursday, Oct. 2nd.

London, Oct. 2.—A curious illustration of the power of boycotting in the handa of revengeful Irish peasants has just been furnished in County Kilkenny. For the past sixty years an agricultural tair has annually been lield at Be •• bo rough, near Piitown, under the patronage of the gentry and nobility of tha neighborhood, of whom Lord Bessborough is at the head. He is a somewhat active politician, is deputy lieutenant of King's county, and stands high in the favor of tho Dublin Castle authorities. His recent actions, however, embittered the peasantry of his own and the neighboring estates, and they determined to boycott the fair as a measure of revenue. They poated noticed throughout the district menacing all who contributed to or atteuded the exhibition, and as fast as the notices were torn down they wore mysteriously replaced by others still more threatening. Lord Bessborough pooh-poohed the notices, but the fair lias proved a dismal failure all the same. The peasants were frightened into non-attendance and but few of the gentry made any entries, so that the old established institution has this year degenerated into an exhibition without exhibits and without spectators.
