(Continued from page 1.) Rochester, N.Y., Aug. 12.---Captain Thorpe, of the Titania, was the first man on board the Kingston. When ithe bow of his vessel crashed under the Kingston's guard he quietly step- ped off his own deck and boarded the big steamer through the midship gang- way. | "I'he engineer of the Titania stuck to | his post, and sank with his ship, but was subsequently resoued. "Either Capt. Thorpe lost his head or his steering gear went wrohg,," said Capt. Esford, of the steamer Kings- ton. "It was my watch and 1 was on the bridge. !

The charge against 'Frank Eves was first taken up. T. J. Rigney ap- peared for the accused, and entered a plea of "not guilty." Donald = Mcln- tyre appeared on behalf of the prose- cution. ' Joseph Sinnptt was sworn and to Mr. McIntyre stated that he was at the Guter junction at 1:40 o'clock om the morning of Saturday, August Sth. When he drove up to the platiorm, Frank Eves was there.

James Eves came up to me, hit me once in the face, and kicked at me, striking me on' my right foot. Both men then ran down the track. Both assaults took place practically at the same time." "Why were you afraid of these Imen ?" asked Mr. Melptyre. ° "Because they often insulted me." James Goldring, express messenger an the G.'T.R., was called. "The car door was open as the train came in,' said the witness. 'Three' men were on the platform and 1 a wan strike another man two in the face. 'After the blows {struck the man went away."

THE GOVERNMENT ACCUS- ES IT OF FRAUD. The Work Was Done While a Dis- honest Customs Officer Was on Duty--~The Strike Issue. Montreal, Aug. 12,--The customs department of Canada has entered an action in the ex uer court against the Canadian Pacific. « Railway come pany to recover $260,000 out of which it is claimed the railway euchred the country by means of fraud or- valuation, etc. It is stated that the alleged frauds were committed during the period in which a C.P.R. customs officer, named Hobbs, committed ex- tensive frauds and for which he is now serving a seven-year sentence, In one instance, it is alleged, that bridge material, to the value of $37,000, was entered as scrap iron. There are at present 1,800 men at work in, the C.P.R. Angus shops, ahout 'one-third of whom are strike breakers, the other two-thirds repre- senting all clagses of laborers. An idea of the reduced staff at the shops may be gained from the fact that the week's pay roll is $25,000 less than it would have been. had not the strike taken place. Nothing of an unusual character in connection with the strike has taken place here to-day. A movement is on foot to make Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the C.P.R., the sole arbitrator between the company and the strikers of the road. Sir: Thomas has acted in a similar ca- pacity before and has given satisfac- tion. The plan is said to be meeting with favor. It is said that, apart from his railway, connection, Sir Thomas could be depended upon to do the fair thing with the men.
