A New York special says: Richard Seaman Scott, who absconded from New? York with $160,000 belonging to tiie Manhattan Bank June 1, 1885, has made a confession before Consul General Waller, at London. He was payiug teller of the bank at the time, and had in his custody daily over a toillioa dollars. 1 ; ; Shce his departure ho had , never been heard ' of. The confession im plicates John R. Dunn, a cousin of Scott's wif", a lawyer and broker of New York, who has been; arrested. It alleged that Dunn induced Scott to steal tho money, and- then got it froni him. The confession is in the form of an affidavit, taken in the suit of the bank against Dunn to recover the money. ;) Scott says in his confession that he gavq : Dunn a package, containing $140,000 in a seeludod spot in Cen tra Park and then assumed . a dis guise and shaved off his: mustache as advised by Dunn. He went to Can ada' and thence to England. Negoti ations were entered into with the bank for a compromise, and $60, 000 'was offered by Scott . for a general i release. This was believed to have been accepted, and Scott wrote to Dunn to get- ready to pay the! money, but Dunn wrote that he had lost the money in speculation. Proceedings were then begun. Dunn is a bachelor, 38 years old, and lived in Brooklyn. He was committed to Ludlow street jail. . Scott is 42 years ibid. , He cannot be extradited. !

Baltimore & Ohio "Y" who were upon the street at 6.30 this morning wit nessed a singular and startling secno. It wosxno less than that of a train of i cars leaping from the track and rush ing with the speed of lightning and the crash of a thunderbolt through a brick house. In an instant the train and house were in ruins and the track for some distance was loaded with debris.The train, to which this accident, occurred was No. 4, coming from the west, due here at 6.20. About 6.30 it came thundering into the city over the Metropolitan branch, and, at the curve, nearly a mile away from the "Y," began whistling "down brakes.'' For some raason the brakes were not put down. !, The air-brakes, it was : stated, did hot work, and tho engineer began blowing- his distress whistle for thebrakeman to put on the regular ! brakes. Either the brakeman did not heed the signal or it was not given in time to be Of use, for the train, flying at a frightful rate, came thundering down toward the sharp curve at the ' Y." On tie-south-side of the '!' in the little5 corner made by the inier section of the tracks, was located the railroad signal tower, a brick struc ture three stories high, where rail road men ire employed to regulate the signals and switches at the "Y' When the j train turned tho sharp curve of thjo "Y" with a fearful head way the cais behind the engine flew the track and smashed into the sig nal tower, and, in an instant, there. was a wrefk, which, for confusion, has seldom been equaled in railroad annals. The engine was dragged from the track and ploughed through the dirt and mud a distance of 150 feet and rolled over. Thera it lay, giving forth its steam and hot water in great jets. The steam and water were blown through a house and some of the inmates were badly scalded. Near the1 engine lay Hamilton Brcsius, engineer, crushed and dying, and his fireman, with several bones "broken, but behind the engine was a scene ht panic and! confusion. One car was crushed and nearly buried under tracks : 4berB of the demolished bunding. i,Two sleeping ik. 4 one passenger coach remained on the track. The mail car, express car and baggage car were rolled over and the sides were crushed. The roof of one car protruded from the ruins of the building. IJ The disaster, of course, at once cre ated 'intense excitement. The fire alarm was sounded, which brought the fire department and police to the scene. Ambulances were hurriedly sent for, and a corps of physicians came, summoned I from every dirpc tioiu Mny of the injured passen gers were removed and taken itb neighboring houses, or drug stores, or to the hospitals. In this way eigh teen or twenty people were got out of thW wreck, some of them only slightly injured, others with bones broken and bodies badly bruised and cut. In the signal tower on the hp- Er floor or observatory, Ym axter, the railroad signal man, was at work. On the ground floor, Joseph Haley, a young rnan employed by the railroad company, was, engaged in cleaning lamps. Bax ter it appears, realized the impending danger in time. He gave a shout to Halev and leaped from the tower to the ground. He broke his ai mi in the fall and was badly shaken up,iut seems to have escaped more serious injury. Haley, below, however, kas buried in the ruins of the hohse. When he was disinterred it was found that the timbers had fallen so as to protect him from the tons 'of brick and . .

An Intcr- Ocean special from Aa Sable, Mich., says: Ernest Schoeltz, a new-comer here, tells a startling story of personal outrage With his wifo and one son Schoeltz sailed from Germany for the United States. Their ship touched at Yucatan port, and Schoeltz and his family, together with a number of other emigrants were sold into slav ery. . ' They remained in tho interior of the country eighteen months and then escaped to Campeachy, only to be again taken into custody and subjected to most inhuman treat ment. They were compelled to work in the broiling sun without any covering to their bodies. His wife was driven into the field to work three days after the birth of her child. They were provided with ' but two pounds of corn meal a day and this continued nearly two years and a half.

A Remarkable Tnrn of A flairs at Wood stock. A special to the Richmond J)iqmlch from Woodstock, dated Tuesday, says: Senator Riddleberger spent today as he did yesterday sitting on the por ffco of the jail holding a levee with his friends. At noon he left the jail by advice of legal friends, forgetting however, that his sentence does not expire until tomorrow evening. The sheriff rearrested him and took him back. The sheriff has subpoenas for about fifteen persons who are thought to have taken part in the Senator's rescue to appear before the rrnnd 5 jury orr Friday. lhere is stiil considerable excite ment and feeling runs high, dividing more on personal than political grounds. The Judge had intended leaving town for. a few hours at noon, until hearing of Senator Riddleberger's in tention of leaving, when he changed his mind and remained, and gave or ders to the sheriff to rearrest him. A special dated 11.30 p(vm. Tues day says: At 7 o'clock this evening Senator Riddleberger walked off. W. H. Shull, the jailer, who had just recovered from an attack of hemor rhage,and who was under the advice of his physician not to exert or excite himself, grasped the Senator, who jerked loose and walked home unmo lested. Sheriff Wightman was at his home, in Edinburg, five miles away, and Deputy Sheriff Hottel was also absent. In the meantime Dr. J. S. Irwin, the Senator's physician,- in formed Judge Newman that Senator Riddleberger's condition was such that further confinement was- danger ous. The judge appointed Drs. J. S. xi win anu o . u. vmmpueu to inquire into and certify to his condition. Af ter the Senator had gone home these physicians certified to the fact that tho further confinement! of Senator Riddleberger would be dangerous, as from their knowledge he! was an in tense sufferer from hemorrhoids, and the condition of his nervous system was such as to render release from T T T s1 1 Hi confinement necessary. Judge Newman then issued an or- der to the jailer to release Senator Riddleberger until such time as sueh physicians as may be selected by the court shall certify that ho is in a fit condition to be returned jail. This order has given temporary relief to the intense nervous strain upon the community, which has caused the good people of all shades of political Denei to cling together m their ef forts to preserve the peace at all hazards. A KENTUCKY SCANDAL. Dr. Standlford Sold to Have Married While A LouisviiIB jLfspaten says: xr. u. D. Standiford, ex-president of the Louisville and Nashville jrailroad, and reputed to be the richest man in Ken tucky, has not been dead three weeks and the fight over his property has already begun. He left no will, and under Kentucky law one-third of the personalty and a life interest in a third of the realty would go to his wife, and the remainder in equal shares to his seven children. Her share would amount to $750,000. His wife formerly' Miss Scott, at his death on July 26, was a bride; of nineteen days, and Muray KellarJ husband of his favorite daughter, is making a vig orous protest against giving up to her so large a share of the property. It was published the day after Dr. Standiford's death that Mrs. Standi ford during his last hours was exclud ed from his room and that his last murmurs were directions for a divi sion of his property to favor Mrs. Kellar. Today this is supplemented by a publication in substance as fol lows: Dr. Standiford was lured into ah engagement through a flirtation begun at the opera, apd entered at once upon a drunken stupor which continued till after his marriage, and when the ceremony was performed was not in his right mind. Upon this ground suit to annul the mar riage will shortly be instituted. Dr. Standford was, it is reported, unwilling to marry Miss Scott, and on the day of the wedding wanted her to accept a $20,000 check and break the match. ' The night before, it is alleged, he had Offered a lady here $100,000 to marry him and save him from the approaching wedding. His friends remonstrated at the cere mony that he was not in his right mind, and Miss Scott and her parents were warned, but with their minister persisted in carrying through the ceremony. It is generally believed the publication is inspired by Mr. Kellar, once general manager of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, but of late a ward politician and a man of leisure. J On the other hand, Dr. Standiford, while sober, told gentlemen here a week before his wedding that he was going to marry Miss Scott, and that shia was the peer of any woman in Ken Lucky. She was also kindly received a s his wife by the family, including tho Kellars, who were living with Dr. Standiford at the time of his marriage. A few days aero Mr. Kellar and his family moved next door to the house of his brother- in-law, James G. Caldwell, president of the Birmingham rolling .mills, and yesterday Mrs. Standiford left for Paducah and tho Standiford mansion was closed. Admiral Luco fully explains his alleged broach of discipline and exon erates himselr. A Revolutionary Worthy! Col. SauiHlcM in tlio tlli.tltt tli City Kivnoiiiht. I wish to say :; word about 'the two men whose statues North Carolina ought to put in the capitol at Wash ington, or rather about one of them. I agree with yu in thinking prefer ence out to be given to ' Revolution ary worthies rather than "to those of a later date. The matter is ono about which I have thought somewhat a good deal, in fact, and aboutfjwhich I have formed and expressed afdecided opinion. To my mind it is cjear that John Harvey is entitled to the first first place at Washington or else where among North Carolina Worthies, unless Edward Moseleybe cniitlod to the first place by right or by priority in point of time. I would bio quite content to see theso two fill the bill. But to return to Harvey. Owing to the fact- that our records have not been printed very ,few people have any idea what prominence lhe had here. That, in a word, he was tho central figure in North Carolina during the troublous" times that culminated in the Revolution, Thaii such was the fact, however,Ian ex amination of the records wilLT think," show beyond a doubt. He was a man of the highest socialposition, of large inherited wealth! and of education, and his democracy was purely a matter of principle. His se lection as moderator or president of the first Provincial Congress was not a matter Of accident, hni. nnrinrr f- Viia V . 1 . . q WV Erominence in the cause of " liberty; ut time and space both forbid at tempting any description of the man, especially to you, who doubtless knowy more about him than I can 'tell youJ Indeed it surprises me that you did not bring him forward as facile prin x'eps among theheroes of the Revolu tion. It is true Harvey died before the struggle actually began, but it is aiso irue mat ne was more responsi ble perhaps than any other :man that North Carolina was so ready to be gin the struggle. I make no point ott his being a native born North Caro linian though he and his ancestors had been here from the settlement of the country. i What do you say ; shall ye not go for Harvey ? It would bo strange in deed if North Carolina during all the years from 1660 to 1779 had produced no man worthy to have a statue at Washington. L Macon can scarcely be classed as a Revolutionary hero, for though he took part in that war he was too young to have had any influ ence in moulding public' sentiment. In Brief. And to thePolnt.
