Of ending his earthly troubles. His wife saw him
take the leap and screamed for help. Instantly
there was great commotion and excitement
on the steamboat and for long distance up

ALLEGED PLOT 10 THROW THE ERIE RAILROAD TRAM OFF
THE TRACK.

Within the past two years several attempts have
been made to throw the from the tracks Of the
Erie Railway at points twelve to twenty miles west
OF Port Jervis The road here runs through Pike
county, Pennsylvania, wild and rugged country,
along the Delaware river. and is above all places,
Just the spot that would be selected for such
deed. The terrible accident at Carr's Rock

idea has been, and sill is that this slaughter was
caused by defective rail. From the fact that many
thieves were on the ground who were known not to
have been on the train. the great number OF dead
and wounded who were robbed, the subsequent find
ing OF certain articles in the hands Of suspected par
ties convinced at least man that the accident at
Carrs Rock was not the result Of o defective rail-
but deliberate attempt at murder for the pur-
pose Of piunder. Acting upon this theory,
and having placed at his disposal every
possible facility by the managers OF the road. the
matter has undergone a thorough investigation
under the direction OF one skilled IN the detection OF
crime. Night and day for ten months suspected
parties have been under the closest surveillance.
Twelve men have been engaged In this work. In the
meantime two similar attempts have been made,
but through the vigilance OF those having the matter
attempts. At last, on the I'd OF June sufficient
evidence having accumulated TO hope for
a conviction, the suspected man was arrested
ana confined in the county jail at Milford. Pike
county, Pa. After being confined fifteen days he
confessed his guilt. He Il now awaiting the action
