Passenger Train Into the River
Loss of Life not Known-ScriOus

| ZANEsvILLE, o, Dec. A, 9:30 4. NJ
The passenger train East has just fallen
through the iron bridge. Particulars
soon.

built man, punished his antagonist bad
Nv. They began the fight with fists,
and Coburn finally knocked the other
down and kicked him in the face, dam
aging his nose and nearly knocking out
one Of his eyes with the toe of his boot.
The difficulty, according to the story,
arose out of a discussion between the
two as to which had rendered the great
est service to the Fenian cause. Craw-
fords version of it is that the subject
of dispute was whether the parties who
attempted to kidnap George Sanders
were acquitted or not. He says also
that the difficulty was aggravated by a
reference to an old gambling transac-
ton, in which Coburn had lost some
money. Coburn applied to him n very
oppribious epithet, and the fight then
began.
The gaoler and his assistants having
entered the ward, secured COburn and
removed him to solitary cell i'll an
other part of the gaOl, where he will be
fed Oh bread and water and deprived of
his allowance of tobacco.
Scarcely had the affair been disposed
of when it was followed by new ex-
element about quarter of an hour
afterwards. The gaolcr entered the
ward to lock up the prisoners for the
night. He found the door of an inner
compartment of the ward shut, and on
opening it he discovered one of the
prisoners, Thomas Madden, in the very
act apparently of attempting to set fire
to the gaol. He had filed one Of the
tin cans, used as a coffee cup, with burn
ing coal from the stove, and had it set
on the floor under the ash pan. The
theory is that he wanted to set fire to
the floor, or more probably that he was
to carry the Goals to his cell and set fire
to the bed clothes, in the hope that i'll
the confusion caused by all alarm of
fire the prisoners might succeed III
efiecting an escape.
Madden's story is that he wanted to
light his pipe.
Orders have been given that in future
two or three policemen shall remain in
the ward with the prisoners, to preserve
order and to prevent the repetition OF
any attempts at incendiarism.
All is quiet in the village.
There are Every few strangers here
from the United States. Perhaps there
will be more when the trials commence.
Meanwhile, the capabilities of The
neighboring villages to provide board
and rooms for the crowd of officials,
military officers, policemen and Others
who have been attracted here by the
trials, are taxed to the very utmost.
