,‘rThe President of the Laurentian Railway and a. Beggageman Killed. MONTREAL, Nov, 12.~Last night intelli- gence. was received that a railway accident had happened at St. Theresa and two lives lost. and inquiries, though the information elicited was but meagre, proved this true. the victims being; J. Henry Pnngman, President of the Laurent-inn Railway, and a baggageman named Lemay. Mr. Pangmsu, who was the seignenr of Maschouche. and has been in the habit of norm; out to St. Johns. where he owne'i extensive milling property, once or twice every Wtek, started as usual last even- ing by the five o‘clock train on the Q.. M.. 0. & 0. Railway. which reached St. Theresa at 6 33. leaving thence [or St. Lin by train for the latter place. At St. Lin Junction. about one and a half miles from St. Theresa, a col- lision occurred with the St. Jerome train. Mr. Pangmsn being killed outright. his head being severed from his body, and the unfur tunate baggageman so fatally injured that he died in a short time. Immediately the news of the sad event reach-ad Montreal Messrs. Seneca”. Scott and Davis, of the Q., M. 0&0. Railwaydeft by a special for the scene. The following telegram con~ firms the news. and will explain the where- shouts of the accident. thouuh no details are given as to the manner of its occurrence: “ Specml to the Gazette: St. Theresa. Que, Nov. 11,-~The St. Jerome train. leavmg St. Theresa at 6 50, was pitched into the St. Lyn trnin at the St. Lyn Junction. about one and a half miles from St. Theresa. Mr. Pangman, President of the Lanrentisn Railway, and a bagpageman named Lemsy were killed. The special with the auxiliary can has arrived with Messrs, Scott, Senecall and Davis on board." â€"-The question whelher the game of pbol is billiards. and therefore subject to a special citv tax, is to be taken into court a: Philadel- yhia. of the south wing. The actual number burned cannot be got at in any wayat present, as many are known to have wandered away in intense excitement. Several ladies were taken out of some of the rooms and halls.and several persons who were got out seemed de- termined to return to the flames. One room occupied by two inmates was broken‘iuto.aud one was dragged out. The other was deter- mined to remain in his warm bed, and when dragged out insisted on being dressed. An old man named Adams was taken out dead. The delay in getting a stream on the fire from the hospi al hose chiefly arose from the fact that it had not been in use for so long that it required to be wet from end to end on y the outside with hot water. Meantime the‘ flames spread very rapidly from the basement. filling the halls completely With smoke, and making it impossible to do anything but save the inmates of the north wing by putting up ladders and prying off the fire-screens from the doors. taking the unfortunatcs out and actually bringing them down in their rescuer’s arms wivhout clothing in many cases. At other windows there were from three to four begging to be saved from death. while the flames were bursting from adjoining windows. One poor fellow was dragged through a half open screen and badly mangled. Assistance has been teleg-aphed for to Rochester. Minna apolis and St. Paul for food, clothing and shelter for the men. The superintendent of the asylum says not more than twelve lives were lost and probably as many more hurt and auflering from the bitter cold. Indeed, more people are believed to be injured and dying from exposure than from burns. Others say twenty insane people either perished in the flames or died on the cold hills during the night. The suflering has been terrible. Hundreds of the patients are as helpless as children, and are seemingly shocked and dazed so as to render them almost insen< sible. Arrangements are being perfected by which all will be comfortably cared for to~ night. â€"Green amped stockings nearly caused the death of Mary Dick.of Chicago, by poison- ng hgr legs.

It would seem that among the outlying subjects of Francis Joseph 1., the fourth Emperor who has reigned over Austria-Hungary since Marie Theresa died, and who himself has occupied the throne for two and-twenty years. there are still some steady-going, old fashioned human fos~ils who entertain the settled conviction that the wise and valiant Empress Queen, contempor- ary of Frederick the Great, Louis Q’Iinze, George the Second, is alive and hearty in the you of grace 1880. k 81‘.

The seem a at the burning hospital were heart-rending in the extreme. So ap- palling a sight has rarely been witnessed. The patients in the annex wing were males. many of whom refused to leave the building and ran up and down the halls screaming and crying, and acting like the bedlamiles they were. Those who could not be coaxed norl iorced out of the building became the wctims‘ of the flames, and were suflocated or suf- fered a horrible death in the pit of the flames. Others were saved ; some by ladders and some by leaping from the win- dows. Some were nearly nude, some shoeless. some hatless, and all were exposed to the exceeding cold of the night. Many of the poor demented and crazed inmates fled as if for their lives, and could not be over- taken or confined. The whole catastrophe is a heartrenning one. The poor dazed inmates of the asylum who had escaped the flamrs were at large, half clothed. and were to be seen in all directions flying in wild flight from those who attempted to save them. For sometime the capacity of the building had been tried to its utmost; there Were about 600 patients. and every inch of space was utilized.

N. S . via Halifax. Nov. 12.â€" ' An accident occurred at the Ford pit of the . Albion mines this morning, which has been . attended with frightful loss of life. The exact nature of the accident is still a mystery, as none of those who could give the informa- tion have yet come to the suiface, and little . hope is entei-tiined that they ever will. The , night shift overman. John Wier. reported all correct to the fore shif overman. John Dun- bar. who went down at 5 a. m. Then the latter started the pit as usual and went into the north side. The Ford pit has two en- trances, north and south. He sent the other overman. James Mitchell. into the south side, where the explosion occurred. Dunbar and John Douglas. the underground managers, were on the north side of 'the railway, when they felt. rather than heard. a concussion in the air, which warned them that an explosion had taken place. Dunbar said to Douglas. ~‘ I think that must be in the cage pit.” Douglas went into the ctge pit drift”, and Dunbar Went along the north side of the rail- way and told one of the deputy overmen to get all the men out as he thought there was something wrong. He saw the men running on the north side of the railway from the pit bottom, saying something had happened on t the south side. When he came to the pit l bottom he found his father. Wm. Dunbar. who cleans the lamps. lying outside of his cabin insensible and a good deal burned. Another man, a stranger named McDonald. who had only been at work three days, was also lying insensible from the after damp-a gas which follows an explosion. Assistance was obtaintd and the injured men got to the t-utfnce. Four small boys were found on the south title of the ptt.insens.ble, but otherwise uninjured. They also were got safely to the surface, and all six soon recovered conscious- ness and were soon out of danger. All the north side men got out except Dunbar, who remained at the pit bottom. Jami-s Hudson, John McKay, F. Schurman and a boy named Lewis went down about seven o'clock and joined Dunbar. They went into the south side. where they found a man named John- ston. insensible. Messrs. Hudson and Schur- man carried him to the surface. where he was soon restored. Mr. Hudson and his cum- panion again went down the south side and found another man named McGillivray, lying apparently (laid, his lamp still clasped in his hand. The body was stifiening. He must have been struck down without a moment's warning. Just as the two explorers were about to lift the body, they felt in turn in the air such as Renerally i precedes an explosion, and they ran for their lives to the pit bottom anu got to the surface. Nobody again went into the mine until ten o'clock. A consultation was held between the local managers. and James Hudson. manager of the Albion mines. Mr. Poole. manager of the Acadia. and John Greener. manager of the Vale. went down with , a party of men to restore some of the stopping or air doors thrown down by the explosion. They found about fifteen horses killed. Since then gangs Were sent down every four hours, but have nothing new to report. They saw one more b udy. Very much burnt. but could , not get near enough to ascertain whose it was The fate of those below is still unknown, but it is almost impossible that any of them can be alive. Matthew McPherson had charge of ten boys on the south side of the railway. They went down the south side. as usual. and Were found after the explosion in the north hilifl insensible. How he got where he was found is a mystery. unless carried there by the force of the explosion. He. in common with the when who got to the surface, can give no information of the accident. They were sud- denly struck down with a violent concussion of the atmosphere and knew nothing moretill they recovered on the surface. About forty. four Workman were in the south side at the time of the explosion and would be waiting at the bottom of the bilanco in which they work for their picks before going to work when the accident occurred. Judging by the time I (about 6 o'clock) it is considered almost im- pos~iblo that there could have been any shots fired as the shot firer does not leave the bot- tom of the pit till after six. So the cause of the explo-iou Wlll remain a mystery. The first indication of the accident on the surface was seeing the top of the fan pit blown off. followed by a great gust of wind, lut no report was heard. The greatest excitement was occa- sioned when the north side men came out and confirmed the news of an explosion. The south side was looked to. Surely some of that army of strong and healthy men who had gone down a short time. ago would come back to tell the tale, but as time wore on there was no indication of life from below, and the state of the atmosphere was reported to be such that life could not exist. The ut- most precantions are taken by the manage- ment, and the explorers are all picked men. under the guidance of clear headed men. Every yang which noes down into the mine first sends one reliable man ahead with a locked safety lamp. to examine for gases. the rest await his return and go no further into the~ galleries than he reports safe. Another exploring partv went down at 8.30 p. m., but have not returned to the surface at present writing. In almost every house in the vil- lane is heard lamentations. while constant visits bv tho little ones are paid to the works, and the mournful answerto their enquiries are always the same. " So news from below." anornas ACCOUNT. Hsnirax. N.S., Nov. 12 ~Messrs.

A little hither on a brick stopping closing another nonâ€"ed mine was lonnd, and here dense black smoke was coming out with a roar like escaping steam.

The local managers; Goxernment inspec‘or and several of the overmen and old minrri were called to a meeting in the company’s emce, and the plan of the dark catacombs beneath them was spread out on the table, the location 01 the fire fixed as well as possi- ble, and the best means of action discussed. For the time master and man stood on equal footing for the interests of both were at stake. and many of the old men were familiar with every inch of that labyrinth now spread out before them on paper. It was finally decided to flood the portion of the mine where the fire seemed to proceed from, as, if prompt means were not taken, lurxher explosions were not unlikely to occur at any moment with consequences which might be serious even on the surface. All night the tapping of small hammers was heard in the o trpenter shop, and on re- turning from the month of the shaft your reporter was invited to visit the place, and the spectacle was one not often seen.

This morning smoke was seen issuing from lhe old bye-pit. near the cage pit. It communicates with the south side of the Foord pit. The scene thismorning is a grant change from that of Saturdav. The tall chimney of the fan pit is now but a h¢ap of blackened wins.

I never go by that place without laughing now. I can’t help thii king of the cute trick played by a lot of Yankees there. The fact is it was so giod that. although 1 had been ordered to shoot in among them, I disobeyed orders. It was about ‘63. and the Libby building was so crowded that it wouldn't hold auv more pris men. so they put a large lot of them in the seconl story of a building across the street. Soon a'ter these prisoners came the prison officials got a large supply of sweet potatoes (regular yams) from North Carolina. and stored them on the first floor of the building in which those pri- souers were confined. Big sweet potatoes were luxuries in those days. and Turner and those fellows kept a strict watch over the building. I can tall you. The third day after they had been stowed away it was noticed that they were disappearing at the rate of about a bushel a dav. At first it was thought that the rats took them. but aseooud thought showed that idea was absurd. Sentinels Wt re posted all around the building with orders to about any man they caught stealing those yams, but they didn t see anybody to shoot. and allhmwh they were posted there day and night. and no One was allowed to enter the room in which the potatoes were kept. they continual to disappear at the rate of a bushel a day. The Confederates saw their yams disappearing in this way, and were furious. The thing was an unaccountable mystery. The doors and wiud'ms of the room were sealed. and private marks were put on the was. so that it any one of them wusopenod it would be known. The next morning the officers went into the room. The wax was all right. but another bushel of potatoes had vanished. Well. sir. it was the maodrst crowd you ever saw. Thsy came after me. an l ordered me to take my stand in the room. They looked me in. and a lighted candle was put at each end of the room so that I could see. I was ordered to shoot on sight si-y‘uoily [saw stealing those yams. It was terribly lonesome in that room. Just as fast as I would light one candle and go to the other end of the room to light [the other. the rats would cut the first one down. Thl‘y were regular Confederate rats. and a candle was a godsend [0 them. After a lot of worry I got the rats out of the way. and sat down he 12' the door waiting for developments. There I stayed till 12 o‘clock ; but though I kept my eyes on the potatoes all the time. I couldn’t use any of themgoing Short- ly after 12 I he 1rd at creakinp, grating sound, which seemed to lie all over the room at once. i cocked my gun and held my breath, butstill I couldn't see any sign of life (Km-pt the rats creeping about the 110 )r. “ By George l ’ I thought. ‘ ths darned place is haunted, if there is any such a thing; as a place leing haunted.‘ The sound stoppird, but about ten minutes after it began again. I looked at the pile of potatots, and presently saw something shoot from the cri log and fall on them. I saw it was a brick, and could distinguish a rope tied to it. I crept a li.tle nearer to get a good look at the thing. But before I could examine it, it was drawn slowly up. and there was about a pack of yams sticking to it. It went up through a hole which had been cut in . the floor above. and presently came down . again with a thumb right among the potatoes. It was the most artful arrangement you ever and. The brick had about fifty holes drilled in it. and through each hole a sharpened ten- penuy nail had been run. so that when the brick fell among the yams these mils stuck into every one they fell on. I couldn’t help laughing at the smart dodge the-so Yankees hattaken to get at the yarns. I gently put my hand forward and caught hold of the rope. Pretty soon they began to draw on it. and “ Well. . l nan-4n -A.l_.h_sn- .u i i i ll boys; the hrick’s hung in some. it thing. Pull her stead 1y without jerk- I c ing.’ They did pull steadily. and fairly lifted i i‘ me from the fl-ior. ‘No jerk ; easy, boys. easy.’ g a the director said. and they tugged away. 1 got I a Dretty red in the face holding to the rope. I | t was afraid to let go. because I thought some '1 of those spiked nails might strike me in pass- ‘ a ing. I thought of my pocket knife. and i a hauled it out just as they were putting all I b their weight on the other end of the re I I out it in no. and the end shot back through . h the hole in the ceiling, and I could hear a ' I rolling and tumbling on the floor above, show. 9 ing that the suldeu giving way of the rope i it had had a disastrous efiect. I heard another v a voice say: "there. now. I told you so. You’ve ’1 broken the rope. We’ve lost our brick and to morrow we‘ll be found out.’ Then another voice called out : ‘Can’t you see it? We might hook it up.’ Next I saw along neck protrusiog through the hole. and a fellow peering down. Then I called out : ‘If you trouble any more of those potatoes 1’” shoot.‘ That fellow’s head shot back through that hole just like a terrspin. and it was as still as death up there. I hated to tell on them. because it was such a sharp scheme of forage ing on the euemv. but I had to. When the officers went up the nrxt morning to examine the roam it took a long time to find the hole. Those Yankees had cut a hole about a foot square through the floor. and it was done so nearly that it took good eves to discover it That was where the otheers’ yams went to." I it when it did not move I heard one fellow say ; ‘ Steady. “At a cnunty court he“ in the ceunty of Durham.

The volunteers are quartered most'y in hit-numbers: kitchens and sleeping accommodations haVe been titted up. Here I found some men cleaning their revolvers. others reading new; opera or writing, while about a dozen were threih’nq corn or walking over to a cuvmed ruined castle within the demesne whose su- cient battlements have not for centuries wit- nessed such a marii :1 scene. I discovered two great tires roaring mound the volunteers and cmstnbularynsho were trying to keep themselves mum and were making the walis echo with their laughter. The entire scene at Captuin Boycvitt's farm is so strange that it is impossible to cease wondering at it. It is serious, hall ridiculous. and wholly in- teresting. It represents one of the most ro- mtrkrsble eventsin the history of Ireland. During the mming week there will probably he only a repetition of the scenes which I have already described." THE APPEAL OF THE TENANTS. ,' When the difficulties arose between Captain l‘l3oyoott and the tenant-s on L rd Erne‘s estate a memorial. signed by all the temnts, mun- bering thirty eight, was presented to Lord Erne. It recited their grievances against Captain Boycott. and appealed to the old tia- dition of the Erne family for considerate land- lonlism, and intimated in [ll-till terms that while they were perfectly viiEliug to pay their rents With any abatement decided upon by Lord Erna. they haul come to the conr‘Iu-iln never again to work for or hold communion. too with his present agent. The answer was s. firm refusal from Lord Erna to change i.is ingent at thair dictation.

The policy ofisoialion was then enten d upon. It is evident from the above statement that there has been some ill adviser heliud the scenes. an] that there is mire oi uhsiinah pride and personal pique than any real griev- ance at the root of the unfortunate quarrel.
