BALTIMORE, Feb 8, 1858.
The Washington Train Of Cars Fired iato-Nar-
row Escape Of some Of the Passengers.
One Of the most daring and cold.blooded as
saults that was ever perpetrated, was made upon
the passenger train which left this city for Wash
ington, on Monday evening at seven o'clock.
When near Baltsville, the train at the time proceed
ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour the crack of
rife was distinctly heard by the conductor and
many Of the passengers, and missile was at the
same instant hurled through of the cars at about
its centre. On examination, it was clearly found to
have been bullet, having passed through one Of
the windows, breaking the glass and taking OF
could have been done with q sharp instrument, and
passing through the window on the opposite side.
lady, sitting on the side where it entered heard the
ball whistle by her head and it must have passed
within few inches of the breast Of gentleman who
occupied the opposite seat, but who at the moment
was in an inclining position which circumstance
qnestiopably saved bis life In fact both he and the
lady had most miraculous escape from instant
death. All in the cars were Of course in imminent
danger.
The only explanation yet suggested az to this
savage and fendish act Is, that on Saturday night
last the same train ran over and killed some CATTLE
not tar from the same place, and the company having
always refused to pay for such damages It is sus-
pected that sone interested demon intended to shoot
the engineer; but the train being in rapid motion,
the ball took effect farther back thus eopardzing
the lives OF innocent and unsuspectipg passengers.
1t is to be hoped that the company will spare no
heavy reward, and adopting every other means in
their power.
