No light could be seen, and the crew were unable to signal the shore. At about midnight Mr Stevens and family, occupants of the Half-way house, discovered the masts of the stranded vessel and . visited the wreck. They found it abandoned. They at once instituted a search among the sand hills, and soon found a party consisting of three men, two women and a child, all of whom were half dead from cold and exhaustion.

St. Louis, April 8.—Some of the most active and enc#ietic of the striken called to their friends, and in a few moments there must, have been 800 of them who had gathered in the open space in front, of the Town house in Bast St Louis. They were not armed, at least with visible arms. They were, not noisy at that time, and if any of. them had been drinking there was no sign of it They moved off down the dingy ami dreary main street of the town toward the relay depot, which stands about In the center of the system of yards, and in front at which is the great switch house. By this time other strikers had fallen Into line, and there must have been 500 or 60!) of them. Sheriff Ropiequet saw the crowd coming. He limped about in the liveliest manner on his cane, summoned his deputies, and said that he feared trouble had at last come. The strikers paid no attention whatever to the sheriff or his deputies, and the latter could not interfere with this procession, for they moved quietly, though with the Irregular, straggling walk of benevolent societies at a funeral. * Greenfield, Mass., April &—A terrible aecident occurred last night on the Hoosifb Tunnel line, about seven miles west of Greenfield, between Bard we 11 station n::rl West Deerfield. Passenger train X D. due in Greenfield at 6 o'clock, consisting of baggago car, smoker, mail, sleeper and two passenger cars, left the track, owing to a washout or land slide, and was precipitated down a rocky embankment into the Deerfield river. The distance from the track to the river is about 300 feet The train was running at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. The engine alone crossed the washout in safety. The tender and all the cars were thrown down the embankment, several of them being literally smashed to pieces; three of them took Are. The scene was a terrible one. The shrieks of the wounded filled the air. Owing to the steep decline it was almost impossible to render much assistance. Those who were not badly hurt rendered all the aid possible, and the Injured were made as comfortable aa could be. A special train with physicians started for the scene as soon as the news was received. It is impossible to say how many passengers were aboard the train, but probably there were about forty. Three care are burned, and the others smashed to pieces. Washingtoh, April 8.—Duripg the debate in the senate yesterday upon Mr. Logan's army bill, the senator from Colorado, Mr. Hawley said, bad endeavored to create the impression that he (Mr. Hawley) would use tfife Federal army to Interfere with the will of the people. He emphatically denied that he had said anything_of the kind. He had from time to time thoqght that it would be merciful, and would he good for the people, who were suffering, to employ them a* Mr. Powderly, with the Knights of Labor, would employ them, in accordance with the constitution of tbe Knights of Labor, in patting down some thieves and scoundrels that were blaspheming tbe name of labor. AN ARMED GUARD Mr. Gibson's amendment was not agreed to. Yeas, 24; nays, 25. After further debate the bill was put on its final passage, and rejected. Yeas, 19; nays, SI. The vote in detail is as follows: Employed by tlie "Xonlsville and Nash- ville ltoad at Sedalla. St. touts, April 8.—News has been received from Sedalia, Mo., that of the twentv men who went back to work in the shops, there, ten were persuaded out again. The Beta, besides her crew of Bix men, had eight passengers, including two women and three children, returning to Boston from a visit to the provinces. When the vessel struck the passengers were sent to the cabin, where they remained until u heavy sea almost filled it and drove them into the rigging. Yeas—Messrs. Blair, Cameron, Dawes, Dolph, Evarts, Frye, Hawley, Logan, McMillan, Mahone, Mitchell Of Oregon, Morrill, Payne, Piatt, Riddleberger, Sabin, Sawyer, Spooner and Stanford—19. Quite an excitement was occasioned at 7 o'clock aroand the Laclede hotel, this city, when about twenty men paraded up the walk in doublo rank bearing guns, which proved to be Winchesters. Jhey were marshaled into the dining room for Bupper, and although not uniformed, they presented quite a warlike appearance. After supper they walked about the hotel, with heavy revolvers bulging their coats over their hip pockets. Inquiry disclosed the fact that they were mostly from Louisville, Ky., and brought here for guard duty for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company. Nays—Messrs.

The cook was swept into his galley and drowned, being pinioned there by wreckage. The survivors, soaked with Water and half frosen to death, olung to the stays and shrouds until daybreak, when, the tide having fallen, a few men got ashore with a line, by means of which all the others were rescued. Mr. Hawley considered Mr. Powderly a tn«n of more conservatism and standing in this oauntry than some men on the floor of the senate. Mr. Taller disclaimed any intention of Baying anything unfair or anything personal toward the senator tram Connecticut (Mr. Hawley). \ Mr. VanWyek said the secret of this whole matter was to be found in the idea of using the army again as a great police power, as it had beta used as a police power to keep the riave in slavery. Jay Gould and his confederates, and VanderbUt and his confederates, had been allowed to steal millions, just as men under the old interpretation of the constitution had been allowed to steal from the black man his birthright. "You have raised,"- ■aid Mr. VanWyek, "another class of slaveholder*, just aa unrelenting and determined and steeled against the instincts of humanity :as the old slaveholders were, and I think a little more so." TO BE CONFIRMED. The firat yard reached was that of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, and the strikers turned into it On one of the main tracks there stood two switch engines with full bead of steam on, and evidently in readiness for making up a train. The firemen and the engineer*) stood outside their cabs. The leaders of the strikers said a few words to them. They simply asked the men on the engines to take their locomotives back to the engine house. There was no parleying. The engineere did not hesitate, and a moment later had done as the strikers wished. Then the strikers went on toward the freight house. Sheriff Ropiequet had reached there first, and had arranged his deputies, with their glistening badges most conspicuously displayed, upon the platform. When the strikers saw these representatives of the law they began to run, not away from the officers, but directly toward them, and they set up a shout, too. They pushed the deputies aside, who seemed astonished that their badge had not awed the strikers, pushed some of the officers of tke railway company away, and with a yell rushed into the freight house.

GLADSTONE'S PLANS. The Knights of Labor, he continued, had no sympathy with the commune. Mr. Logan said the bill had been introduced here four times already at Cy«erent sessions of the senate. and it was therefore beneath any man to state that it was brought hare because of Ckmld or VanderbUt. It.was so low a species *jl 'dsmagogism that no man ought to stoop to it. The Premier Uses Strategy to Carry His Polat. Third. Cases in respect to which the suspended official had himself become satisfied that there were no other charges than those of partisanship, and had indicated their wish that the investigation should rest there and the appointee be confirmed. London, April 8.—The sensitive barometer of public feeling indicates that matters are progressing more smoothly in the cabinet than they were a "ft w days ago. The crisis is believed to have been averted by concessions on Mr. Gladstone's part in respect to the extent to which the Dublin legislature shall control the fiscal affairs of Ireland. Some assert that by first claiming almost imperial powers for the Irish parliament, and then conceding a number of points to the strong opposition developed in his cabinet and party, Mr. Gladstone has obtained more complete home rule than he could have induced the cabinet to consent to by any other method of broaching the proposition. Those who take this view suspect that the premier has really been supported further than he expected to be by the mass of his adherents. He never counted strongly on Chamberlain, aad is not troubled by his defection. Mr. Chamberlain seemed for a few days after his resignation to be gaining strength, but he has now mustered his full force, and it is plain that it is not sufficient to overcome Mr. Gladstone's following. It is given out by the Irish members that Mr. Parnell will make a speech to-night after Mr. Chamberlain has stated his reasons for opposing Mr. Gladstone's plans. Mr. Parnell, it is stated, will pledge Ireland not to abuse any confidence which England may repose in her in respect to local self-government He will guarantee protection to the Orangemen and to all factions of the minority, and* will intimate that boycotting and moonlighting will not be countenanced as weapons of political warfare as between Irish factions, however popular they may oave been as a mt ans of combating aliens and oppressors.

Most of the nominations were from Virginia and North Carolina, but there were some from other states. Among the adverre reports was that of a Virginia postmaster who since his appointment published in a newspaper with which he is connected articles personally offensive to a Virginia senator.

This wa a fall into line. "Take places in line," was the Discharged Beemse Kalfhts. Every platform man obeyed. Then, when the strikers had accomplished all far which they entered the freight house, a man with a fierce mustache, a slouched hat and a highlypolished deputy's badge drew a revolver and pointed it at the mob and commanded them to leave. As this was just what the strikers intended to do, the deputy found himself obeyed. He put his pistol in his pocket with the mannerism of a conqueror. Phillipsuuro, N. J., April 8.—The Warren Foundry and Machine company at this place have discharged several employes for being Knights of Lobar. Thej gave as a reason the desire not to be at the mercy of their employee, who might be ortmat to strike, thus closing the works. The men are well treated and recently had their pay raised. They have asked the oonpany to submit the matter to arbitration. recommended by the predecessor, who stated that as he was going into other business tie would not accept the office if it was tendered to him. ATE THEIR COMPANION. The wounded have been taken aboard two trains, part taken to Shellburne Falls aad part to Greenfield. So far as known fire were killed and twenty-four injured, four of the latter probably fatally. As there were supposed to be forty passengers aboard it is thought there must be at least eleven more bodies in the wreck. Up to midnight only four bodies had been taken from the wreck, one being that of Brakeman Spencer. The other throe have not been identified. There is no telegraph office near the scene of the disaster, and reliable news is hard to get That senator might always be trusted to apfsar at the precisely wrong time, saying the precisely unjust thing. Mr. Hawley wished the wnator from Nebraska had spoken mora plainly, and since he had not Mr. Hawley would translate his insinuations and give them the courage that the senator from Nebraska bad not given. Hm insinuation had been that Mr. Hawley was an enemy of the organised attempt of labor to benefit itself, and that he (Mr. Hawley) would bold the army of the United States to put down labor. Mr. Hawley asked the senators if that statement of the matter waa not tnw. Terrible Experience of a Dory's Crew on Halifax, N. 8., April 8.—There has arrived at Louisburg, Cape Breton, a dory containing four men, two living and two dead. They got adrift from the schooner Elsie P. Low (American) while setting trawls on the western banks. After being four days out one succumbed through thirst, and on the seventh another became insane. On the eighth day they landed at Ouyon island, where they were kindly cared for by the keeper, who sent them to Louisburg. The body of first who died is greatly laceratod. This was done by the other man after his companion's death to obtain food and drink. One of the survivors is very sick. The remains of the deceased are James Macdonald, Eastpoint, P. E. I., and Angus McDonald, Broad Cove, Cape Breton. the Banks. Meanwhile the strikers were well on their way to the Ohio and Mississippi freight house. This is the next nearest to that of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy on the south. Here they stopped a freight train, called upon the brakemen and platform men to join their ranks, and, being obeyed, they next made their way to the Chicago and Alton yards. There they found no one. While they had been engaged in the other yards the superintendent of the Chicago and Alton boxed up his platform men and other helpers in • couple of cars and had them drawn away to a place of seclusion. Huns "D MMgj. Mercer, Pa., April 8.—Quite a sensation was created here by the' discovery that George W. Wright, the head of the Syndicate Orphan school, had been hung in effigy on a telegraph pole on the east side of the public square. The figure had on a black coat and pants of a brownish hue, and blaok hat, and on Its breast was fastened a placard with the inscription: "George W. Wright," A Message Written with Blood. Omaha, Neb., April &—Lauira Phillips, a pretty and well educated young lady from Valiscoe, la., committed suicide yesterday in a very sensational manner. She took blood from her own veins and wrote with it the following note, which was found on her pillow; I, Laura Phillips, hereby sell my soul to the devil, in consideration for which he agrees to give me wealth, beauty, and the power to overcome all my enemies. Pamell Approves. Mr. Van Wyck said "No." London, April8.—It is reported that Mr. Gladstone has informed Mr. Parnell of the substance of the leading features of bis Irish scheme, and that the latter expressed his approval of the proposals in the main. It is understood that his entire approval is subject only to a slight modification of detail, which will in no way affect the purpose or alter the scope of the measure. Mr. Hawley remarked that his associate*, with the exoeption of the senator from Nebraska, conceded that his interpretation ■was correct. The strikers, Mr. Hawley said, ■were American citizens and voters, they •comprehended that whatever the people of ithis country willed, that should become the ?®w; the ballot box was open to them; they •ad a choice of candidates; the forum, the press and all other methods of agitation known to the constitution were open to them. If their cause be a just one they can .compel respect for it Mr Hawley warned rthe. laboring men against their enemies. He warned them that the very worst enemies Ithey had "on (he fools tool" were those who would indulge in the sort of remarks we had heard here to-day. Next they went to the freight house of the Vandalis line. Nobody oppossed them, and the few man in the yard fell into line. Here they halted a short tlmd. Then one little man with a big voice shouted: "To the L and N." The strikers took up the cry and went ahead at a lively step, but when they Bled right into .the yard they saw a sight they had itot seen before. Taking the Place of Switchmen. AFTER JAKE S FRANCHISE. Hannibal, Mo., April a—Several conductors and brakemen have been put in the positions vacated by the striking switchmen.

The New York Senate Tote to Annul tbe Broadway Charten.' There were some deputy sheriffs on tbe platform, but these the strikers pushed aside. They seemed to care no more far deputies than for etBgiea. But when they reached the door of the great freight house they saw something they did care for. Four men, not deputies, but private guards, stood back of the door like skirmishers, a few feet apart, with revolvers drawn and oocked, and revolvers of the biggest kind, too. N*w York, April &—At the- close of a long debate in the senate at Albany a vote was Anally reached with the following result: The annulment bill paued by a vote of SO to 8. The negative votes were by Senators Fasset and Nelson. The second bill passed by a rote of 88 to 4. Senators Fassett, Mc- Millan, Nelson and Raines voted in the negative. The third bill received 81 votes. Mr. Nelson voted in the negative. In explaining his vote, Senator Nelson, of the railroad committee, said that, there was no doubt great frauds had been oommltted, but he had been compelled to differ from his associates as to the proper means of dealing with the question. It was his belief that the remedies for tfte fraud were judicial, not legislative. Be read numerous authorities in support of that position. tVhen the roll was called on the second bill, Mr. Vedder said the bill contemplated pioneer legislation, and Senator Coggesh&ll said he believed the courts would reverse the action of the legislature.
