ro,oriety, while standing 10 the barroom Of the St.
Nicholas Hotel talking with one or more treudr, was
attacked by Capt. Anderson and party numbering
bslss dozen persons An alteration ensued between
And, rsOn and illus respecting old feud, when q
little fellow-a friend Of the formerinteIfered aud
struck Titus and for his trouble foored By Titus
Az attack wss now made upon Titus BY the whole
patty with their canes. ard be would no doubt have
been severely beaten but for the timely arrival Of
CAPT. Turrbull ard Sergeant Mount Of the Eighth
We'd. Jutt as one Of the Anderson party was about
dealing Titus blow With loaded cane. Capt.
Tur1 bull drew bis club and caught the cane
thereon. II glanced or, however, aud struck Ser-
et ant Mount in the eye, making bad bruise. Col
Titus attempted 10 draw a revolver, but prevent
ed BY the officers ard taken out of the room, not
however, before he had declared Anderson TO be q
I'D coward, and man who did not dare to cooss
the lines ard fight him with pistols" Col. Titus
weut to bis room, and in about hour thereafter
thinking tie other party had all gone, again repaired
10 III barroom, where he had been but short time
when Anderson snc bis followers returned. The dis
turbsrce was renewed among the ilibusters, and 60
ws;like the aspect =. affairs, that numbers ci

At this time there were upward OF two hundred
persons il the barroom, and none Of them seemed IN
haste to leave the Louse. By aud by the room ~''

THE LATE RAILROAD DISASTER AT
JORDAN.

To he Editor Of The N y. Tribrae.
SIR: by letter in your yesterdays issue from Mr.
\. Randall, / perceive he contradicts some Of my
statements concerning the late accident on the New
York Central Railroad near Jordan made in the COM
municaton published in your paper of the Goth inst.
In regard to the number of cattle knoT and It can
be shown by other parties, that other e.ttio eoo tho
COW that caused the accident in the highway al
or near the crossing where the accident occurred at
the time.
In regsrd to toegraphng: also know that the
operator followed persons from the Office into tho al
Joining room TO collect the pay before be would send
their messages II aDy other course WAS subsequently,
pursued towa Others let full credit be given. Tue
letter also states that the owner Of the COW killed was
not at the scene of the accident only know that q
man claiming 10 be tie there, and made the
remark when was attributed to him.
II affords me as much pleasure "a it could any one
to say that the conduct Of the employees of the Rail
road particularly Of thote the unfouate train, and
tbose connected with the westwari-hound freight
trains was prompt efficient and humane. The ladies',
too who were the disabled train, remembered
with gratitude. Their efforts above all praire.
II not perhaps 10 be expected that those witnessing
such an accident from different andpoints should all
zee il alike ard each all that others may BY
comparing notes after the excitement Il passed, all the
facts ard circumstances be fully elected. Ii is
only because MI. Rapdas positive contradictions
seemed to involve question OF Neraoity, that up
pear a second time.
Respectfully yours, ,r,,,,,, ,,,v,t
