Yesterday morning, the St. Louis Passenger
Train was approaching the city, when a man
came out from Clearer's soap and candle factory,
near the southern limits of the.city, and walked
along on the track some distance before the loco
motive. His attention, it is supposed, was di-
rected to gravel train which was moving in the
opposite direction on side-track, so that he did
not perceive the train approaching behind him.
Neither was he perceived by the engineer of the
train until the locomotive was within few feet
of him. Before the engine could be stopped, it
had passed over the unfortunate man, crushing
his body. His mamie was Augusta Ernst, !, Ger

however, still plenty of good land to be had up

The Cuba {" Outrage"

Some of the outrases, by the way, alleged to
have been perpetrated upon American vessels
bySpanish cruisers are too highly colored, if moi
grossly exaggerated. OF this nature was the
recent firing at the brig Hickman, of Boston
about which good deal of indignation was
expended. In relation to that affair, passen-
ger on board the bark ITALIA, recently arrived
at st. John, makes the following statement in q
letter to the st. John News:

bow, to bring him to his senses. This had no
effect. 4 second shot was fred across the stern
of.the schooner; and as these two hints did not
produce any effect. the Spaniard pitched q ball
towards the hull of the Hickman. This brought
the schooner y.p. The Suspicious vessel "a YES
