A rassixarn train on the Western Di- vison of the Carolina Central Ratlroad went through the trestle over a ereek be- tween Shethy and Charlotte, day. be fore yesterday, falling on distance ,of seventy feet. Six of. the nine persons on the traln were crushed to death, ‘The fat! was followed by the outbreak of fumes, and one of the passengers, who was under part of tho trestle-work and could not extricate himself, was burned alive, notwithstanding the herole elforts of tho engineer of the trainto save him. Among the dead are F, N. Smith, a New York sales- man, and, W, Goodson, an insitrance agent, of Richinond, Va., and at one thne Chief Clerk of the Confederate Bureau for the Ex- chango of Prisoners. ‘Tne latest attempt of the landlords to pre+ vent the progress of the Land League in the North of Ireland Is to organize tenant socie- tles advocating the same principles as, but haylng no aftiliation with, the Land League. A Cork priest Is about to sue Bence Jones for Hbel for saying that he (the priest) made Inborers quit Jones’ employment. ‘The print- ers of the Land-League placards. have been summoned to give evidence against Parnell and his associates. A most daring robbery was committed on a Lake Shore passenger-train at Monroe, Mich., Wednesday night. A gentlemanly: looking man asked the Rey. S, 3. Carpenter, of Toledo, the tlme just as the train was about to stop, and on the clergyman’s pulling out his watch the burglar grabbed. it, while two confederntes rifled the obliging elergy- man’s pocket, All three made off and have not since been detected. Punnic-Printen Deveves, in his annual report, shows that he printed 1,619 Senato bills and Joint’ resolutions, 3,808 House bills, 906 Executive documents, besides large number of reports and inlscellaneous docu- ments, ata cost to the Nation of $2,031,750. It is perhaps gratifying to know that he re- colved $155,403 from the sale of waste paper, allof which was placed to tho credit of the United States. Is Tiere fn alliance between Ireland and Norway? Tho latter wants to sever her con- nection with Sweden, the former her conne tlon with England. The Juno, a Norwest bark from which the Fenians of Cork took some arms avout two months ugo, was seized yesterday on the Shannon by the English custome authorities for landing arms on the Limerick shore without permission from said authoritics, Tne’ bark Fontabella, Capt. Nixon, left Falmouth, Jamaiea, on the 1th of December, and, before she was far out, was: blown back toward tho reefs, slipped ker anchor, and was in a perilous position. ‘Tha Medina, Capt. Liopawell, and the Dundee. Capt. Wooley, went to her assistance, All three Captains were washed overboard and drowned during afierce gale, Two seamen were also lost. Miss Gnoven, a soelety belle of St. Louts, yesterday mado confession that she was the mother of a insle infant whose dead body was pleked up ina vacant lot in the city a few days ago. She says that sho left her bed on the night of tho birth (Sunday night) and took her child to the place where its body was found. Miss Grover refuses to tell who the father of the child Is, A New Yonk ba iz firm, Messrs.. Woer- {schiffer & Co., nunounces that subserip- tions for $7,600,000 in bonds and 87,300,000 worth of stock of tho projected Mexican National Rallway to be constructed over whatis Known as the Palmer-Sullivan con- cession from Laredo to tho City of Mexico, will be recelved on the th Inst.

Day beforo yesterday eighteen futal cases occurred, and during tho week thirty eases, Tuk English authorities aro evidently pro- paring for the worst in Ireland, That coun- try Is now garrisoned by about 53,000 soldiers and policemen, and troops are belng poured Suto it daily from Malta, Gibraltar, England, and now Canada 1s to bo requisitioned for troops. And yet the Land-Lenguers do not secin to want war, Boycottlng answers all thelr purposes, TureK gamblers of Jacksonville, Fla, went toa village near by named Darbyville, They won from the “boys” of that burg. ‘The “boys” made the gamblers refund, Tho latter sued out warrants fur tho arrest of their assallants, and went back to seo that they wero arrested. <A fight ensued, in whieh one of the gamblers was shot dead, AxotuEen St. Louls flremat,. Monry Car- roll, was killed yesterday, 9 comrade, Pat- rick Larkin, had an exccadingly narrow os eape, and two othor firemen, Dan Reed: and J.

Mr. Boutwell says thot Mr. Dodge wanted to. settle with the ‘Treasury Department, so that the transaction should not get publicity, but that he (Mr Boutwell) refused to accede to this as fin- proper, Gen. Butler says that Mr. Dodge first compromised with. the Treasury ofit- elals, afterwards withdrew his compromise, and then had to pay the money and make an acknowledginent of the guilt of hls firm. — Dn.
