MURDER AND KOBBERY IN A TRAIN. The New York correspondent of the Standard says Upon the Rock Island Railway, a desperate dlfray has occurred, which had a fatal ending. The train was near .Joliet, Illinois, when the conductor entered the United states Express Company's car, and was horrorstruck by the sight that met his eyes. The express agent was lying dead, having been beaten to death with a poker, after in iking a terri- ble struggle with his murderers, evidence of which was afforded by the confusion of the content of t e car. The furniture and fittings wi-re broken to pieces, and the floor and sides of the car were be- spaltered all over with blood. The dead man's hands were tightly clenched one held a lock of black hair, and the other a lock of red hair. The thieves had evidently feared to raise an alarm by firing a revolver, and had, therefore, recourse to a poker. They had taken 20,000 dollars out of t!)M cash-boxes and 40 packages of jewellery, and with this booty had leaped from the train while it was in motion, and so made their escape. n

A TERRIBLE STORY OF THE SEA. The latest despatches received at Queenstown from Halifax, N.S., contain'! particulars of the ar- rival at that port of the Cunard steamer Beta, hav- ing on board seven men and the second engineer of the Liverpool steamer Saxon, lost on Turk's Island, and by which the captain, mate, second mate, and three others of the crew were drowned. Charles Mason, the second engineer, gives the following ac- count ot the disaster:—The Saxon, under the com- mand of Captain Wyman, left New York 011 January 29th for Cape Haytien. The first three days out the weather was stormy with head winds. On the night of February kh struck a reef off the Cairos Birches Look-out. The engines were immediately reversed and kept at full speed all night. At day- break 1111 Friilay the crew commenced throwing over the cargo, which was accomplished before night set ill. A%t ',f p.m., with a heavy sea on, the engines became useless, as the steamer broke amidships and waves were sweeping over her. A boat was launched with difficulty, but was instantly swamped, and the second mate and cook were drowned. A second boat was got out safely, and into Bur got the first engineer, two firemen, two sailors, and myself. We started for the shore, and had a terrible time of it, the seas threatening to swamp us every moment. WI1011 we got on shore next morning our clothes were thoroughly soakud with water, and our faces, hands, and feet nearly frost hitt'l, ^During the night tlll, chief mate (who was the Captain's s<M JUiilped overboard lo stvtiii to the shore, but he was quickly drowned, poor fellow. The steward bccanh- crazed and committed suicide by casting himself into the roaring waters; whilst a seaman was washed off the deck by a heavy sea and drowned. Before the morning the captain liecame delirious, and died on deck through exposure, leaving only a fireman 011 the wrecked vessel. Before the captain died, two sailors made a raft and went afloat on it, and after some hours were picked up by a schooner quite exhausted. On the following Monday the schooner rescued the fireman from the Saxon and also took off the dead body of the captain and landed it at West Caicos, where it was buried near the there.

HORRIBLE TORTURE OF A CHILD. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News write*. A horrible case of chilli torture has been tried be- fore the Seine Assize Court. The accused parties Were two Spaniards, Gonzales and Yegll, whose calling is to speculate on public charity through the instrumentality of mutilated children. The special charge against them was having with vitriol, or some other corrosive fluid, made artificial sores on a boy named Manuel Santon. They wero denounced by the landlady of a low lodging-house, named Cabrollier. In the month of May, 1885, Vega, with a woman named Antonia Rodriguez and several children, the youngest of whom was San ton, came to her premises in a showman's van. They lured of her the right to live in this vehicle in her yard. The children were sent out every day to beg, and often had to stay 14 hoars prowling about the streets. One of them, aged nine, was twisted into a position on a board set on rollers to simulate a cripple. Three grown-up persons held, twisted, and strapped him on the board, which had on it a covered pad. This child became nearly paralysed and was often left black and blue from thrashings. The landlady one day when lie was by himself in bed took him out of the van, and found that he could walk, al- though losing the use of his limbs. His owners caught her, and bent the boy mercilessly for having obeyed her in getting out of bed. In the month of June her other tenants were kept awake by the cries of Manuel Santon, but they were too much afraid of the Spaniards to go and ask what it was that made him scream. Madame Cabrollier went. The child said that he had cramps, but she saw his arm was in a sling and bound up Watching her oppor- tunity she was able to exami..e the member and found oil it a horrible wound tike a cancer of great size. She wept from pity. The young Manuel then told her that last year his leg was burned in the same way at Montauhan, and that a little leprous girl; dressed as a boy, who had been simitariy treated, was abandoned there. The youthful victim was examined at a witness, but was in such fear of his torturers that he hardly dared to tell how they oper- ated upon him. He said lies lie was burned on one instep, which left his foot a lIIass of putre- faction, both by "Vega and Gonzales. The two also burned :his leg at Montauban. He had been at both places strapped to a board -oil rollers and sent as a cripple 10 beg. 1n the l'aris lodging-house Gonzales alone operated on the arm, but Vega was close by, aittf knew what was being done. Naturally the tor- turers jMj-id they were innocent, and that Manuel strapped himself to the board on rollers, he prefer- riiig iiiel-,Iicati(.-y to being apprenticed to a sweep. However plausible this might be, the jury did not believe that the child from the same motive vitriol- ised himself, audsofound Vega and Gonzales guilty. They were condemned to two years' penal servi- tude.
