Murders. rs.--The Baltimore American Of
Friday gives some particulars of an out
rage which has this week been committed
on the Washington railroad, eighteen
miles from that city, involving ihe muir
ders Of three of the deputy superinlen-
dents OF that construction. 1t appears
that on Tuesday afternoon, MIR. Gorman
one OF the contractors, was assailed in
his own shanty by eight or ten men, sup
posed to be some Of those ut work on the
road. Mr. John Watson, superlntend-
ent, was in the shanty at the moment on
visit. Both gentlemen were forcibly
dragged out, beaten and left in state OF
insensibility. They, however, so far re-
covered as TO be able to give an account
ofthe affair but German still lies in q
very critical situation and great doubts
are entertained Of his recovery. Mr..
Watson appeared to have been less dan
gerously wounded, and there was every
prospect that he would survive the injuries
ON him. Mrs. Gorman was also assailed
and treated in Il most brutal manner.
AT midnight on Wednesday, the same
ruhians surrounded The Office where MIR
Watson was lying wounded, and alter
breaking open The door they deliberately
murnered him, the back part of his head
being cut open, and his brains scattered
about William Messer, one Of Mr. W's
assistants, ;hd who was piesent in the
ofii"e hen the attack on il was made

the superintendent, Mr. Gallon, was also
shot dead, his corpse having been found
at Il short distance from the Office . Sev.
erai ether persons were injured. The
miscreants, alter the murders proceeded
to rob the premises, but were defeated il
their purpose by the presence of mind o.
MIR Smith, the clerk, who secured all the
money except IA small SUN IN specie, and
affected his escape. The circumstances
attending these murders are not yet fully
developed, nelther are the ruflians app:e-
hended.

NlosEs SwARTZ alias MATTHiAs.-We
presume that some Of our readers remem-
ber the history of the notorious Swartz,
who figured so conspicuously in tins re-
gion, in the year 1929. Recent deyeL
opements have rendered it almost GER
tain in the minds Of some, that Matthias,
the prophet, who aas recently been cut
ting up his shine,' in New York, is none
other than Moses Swartz. The Boston
Commercial Gazette, contains letter
dated Bristol, Nov. 10Th, 1884, which
has the following remarks respecting these
two celebrated personages
(" In the year 1929, the town Of Bris

closely nailed up and; d,;secured with iron
straps, it was deposited in the magazine
OF the ship, to which place no one had ac-
cess save the Captain:
A day or two before the ship was to
sail the Prophet borrowed of Capt. Child
considerable sum Of money, on the
ground that his gold was so snugly lpack-
