THE NEWS.
Saturday morning, m the
Kansas branch of the Hannibal
and St. Joseph railroad, as freight
train JNTo. 7, west bound, was run
ning down a heavy grade, a trestle
bridge was discovered on fire. It
was impossible to check the train,
and the engine passed nearly over,
but 14 cars broke through one aftei
another, piling in immense wreck
in the creek below. All the car
were soon enveloped in flames, am:
with their contents entirely con
sumed. The engineer stood at
his post until the hist, only saving
himself by jumping as the engiiu
turned over.
The secretary of war has ad
dressed a letter to Gen. Sherman,
directing that in case Sitting Bull
or any of his followers cross from
British possessions, they be held
as prisioners of war until further
orders from the president. In
view of this action, Sitting Bull
and his band have voluntarily sub
jected themselves to the authority
of Great Britian and ceased to be
subjects of the United States.
They will not now be permitted,
even under peaceable intentions,
to recross the frontier.
On Tuesday morning a fire
"was discovered in No. 10 level of
the Wellington coal mine on De
parture bay. It was supposed to
have been extinguished on the
following day, and on Thursday
morning when 25 or 30 miners en
tered the level to' resume work, a
terrific explosion occurred, blow
ing the working apparatus of the
level into ruins, killing 11 men and
injuring others seriously. No. 10
level will have to be flooded as the
mine is on fire in that vicinity.
The Vancouver Coal company's
men have stopped work and gone
to assist in the work of rescue.
The scene at the pits mouth is
heartrending; wives and children
weeping for husbands and fathers,
and parents for children.
The Gloucester Fishermen.
There is wailing and lamentation
again in the households of Gloucester
on account of the widows and orphans,
made by the last gale on the Georges
Banks, whither fourteen vessels and
their crews, numbering 155 men, went
to meet their death. Since 18G0 Glou
cester has lost almost a thousand of
its noble fishermen who had gone in
quest of the treasures of the sea. The
late calamity has left some sixty fami
lies in the most destitute circumstan
ces. The condition of these families
is said to be most pitiable; but the
noble work of charity now going on is
coming to the rescue of these unfortu
nate victims of the treacherous sea.
A Boston correspondent says: "The
Georges licet has been unfortunate since
18G0. In the great gale of 1802, fifteen
vessels and 120 men were lost ; in 1871,
nineteen vessels and 140 men were lost;
but the late gale was the most unfortu
nate that has happened in the history of
the place. Georges Hanks or Shoals,
where the fishermen jo every winter, is
al wa vs a dangerous resort. 1 1 is situated
about one hundred and twenty miles
east-southeast of Boston, (and Glouces
ter is a few miles from Boston) on the
edge ol the Gulf stream, which runs pajt
it with a tide of great velocity.
According to the authorities, in
some sections of this shoal there is
little water. In one place old bankers
have seen it above waters. At other
places the shoal has eight fathoms of
water. It is on the outer edges of
this shoal that the fish are caught, the
warm waters of the Gulf stream attract
ing them; and the vessels, when they
encounter them, drop here their
anchors. A storm on the Georges is a
terrible affair. Nobodj' h:is ever seen
a Georges vessel lost. It is supposed
she gets turned over and over until
she breaks up, and the debris is either
covered by the sand or drawn into the
depths of the Gulf stream and carried
away to unknown pirts.
