THE RAMPAGEoUs POLICEMAN GILLESPIE,
who for amusement during his off hours tried
to murder two young men with whom he was
drinking aud very nearly succeeded in muir
dering policeman Leroy, who came to arrest
him, was arraigned before Recorder Hackett
yesterday, and at the urgent advice OF his
counsel pleaded guilty, Offering in extenuation
the plea that he had been on duty twenty-f four
hours without rest or nourishment, and, having
taken little stimulus, became unconscious. or,
in legal phraseology, temporarily insane
There ought to be little mercy shown this man.
Charged with the especial duty of preserving
the peace and protecting the lives and property
of citizens. he most outrageously disturbed the
one and assailed the other. 1t was mere
chance that Leroy was not killed, and Giles
pies shrewdness in throwing himself by the
side of the insensible body of his victim, with
the idea that he might thereby give an exagge-
rated idea Of his own injuries, and thus offer
some extenuaton for his wanton deviltry, is
pretty sure evidence that he was not so insane,
even temporarily, as he tries now to make out.

Railroad Accident-One Car Barned,
ALBANY, July l9.--The Pacific ex-
press train on the Hudson River rail-
road. due here at 5:25 P. NJ. to-day, con.
sisting Of five passenger cars, was thrown
from the track, when one mile east OF
this city, BY the breaking of a steel rail.
The drawing-room car took fire from
the gas, and was almost entirely con-
sumed. At the time ofthe accident the
train was going at the rate Of mile in
fifty.fve seconds, and had been running
at that rate of speed for several miles.
Fortunately not single passenger was
hurt, but all were terribly frig ghtened.
The destruction to the cars and track
was frightful. The passengers were
brought to this city by wrecking train
sent from here for that purpose. Travel
on both tracks will be interrupted for
several hours. The engineer is severely
censured for needlessly running his
train at so great rate of speed.

meut Commanders to give him all posi-
BILE aid in his mission through the most
dangerous part of the country. 1t will

can be avoided and the Indians
got on the reservations.

WASHINGTON, July 19, 7 P. M.-The ba.
rometer has fallen since Tuesday even
ing at the Rocky Mountain stations,
with'a slight increase oftemperature and
southeasterly winds. The area Of low
est pressure has passed from Lake On
tario southeastward and is now centred
over Delaware. The barometer contin-
ues low on the gulf coast, but has risen
decidedly from Lake Ontario to Missis-
sippi and northward. The temperature
has fallen from the Middle and East
Atlantic westward to Arkansas and
Iowa. Fresh winds prevail in the Mid
die and Southern States from the
southwest, and from the northwest on
the lakes. Threatening and rainy
weather has prevailed from the Ohio
valley to Lake Erie and Florida, as also
on the Atlantic coast. Clearing up
weather is now reported from Lake
Huron to Kentucky and westward.
1t is probable that short but heavy
rains will pass over Maryland and New
Jersey, and possibly Connecticut. A
rising barometer and clearing weather,
with fresh northwest winds are prob
able for Thursday from Illinois and
Wisconsin, and eastward to the Atlantic
coast. Threatening weather will prob
ably continue in the Northern States,
with partially cloudy weather in the
interior of the gulf States.

A Severe Storm-Terrible Railroad
Accident.


MEMPHIS, July ia storm passed
over the Southern portion OF this city
this morning which destroyed the Meth
odist Church, unroofed a number of
dwellings and tore up trees, fences, etc.
It lasted half an hour. No lives were
lost. A policeman was seriously in.
jured. Damage heavy. g
1t is reported that an accident oc-
Cured to the Express train on the
Charleston road, which left here last
night, at Grand Junction, being thrown
down an embankment and fifteen or
twenty passengers killed. No particu-
lars yet.
Later information from the wreck,
near Grand Junction, says train com.
posed of one baggage, express, two
coaches and sleeping car, left here at
midnight and when few miles this
side OF Grand junction, just before
daylight, the engineer saw q portion Of
the track was washed away, but too late
to check the train. The engine plunged
into the creek, usually ten feet wide, but
now swollen. The baggage, express
and two passenger coaches followed, all
four of the latter passing directly over
the engine, making terrible wreck of
the entire train, except the sleeping car,
which remained on the track. The
engineer, Gibbs, was instantly killed
and is still buried in the wreck. The
fireman is badly hurt, as are also three
brakemen, John Allen, William Cheek,
and Peter Daft. Among the passengers
wounded are j. A. Turner, leg broken;
Jas. Dunbar, arm broken; Mr.. and Mrs.
w. T. Rucker, seriously cut and bruised,
as were also ten or fifteen other ladies
and gentlemen whose names are not
ascertained. Everything possible has
been done by the officers Of the road.
Trains will be running tomorrow.
The storm mentioned seems to have
spent its fury along the line Of this road
at several different points. Houses
were unroofed and all fences and tele-
graph poles prostrated.
LATER.
~ -,
MEMPHIS, July 19.-W. Van Rob
berts, who has been on trial for the
murder of Ada Jones, was acquitted
to-day.
No further particulars regarding the
railroad accident to-day was had up to q
late hour tonight. The body Of Gibbs,

twenty passengers, ladies and gentle
men, arrived here tonight from the
wreck. They fully confirm the pre-
vious reports, and state that the wreck
will not be cleared up before tomorrow
night As far as known the names al.
ready sent comprise the list of wounded
and injured. Montgomery, the fireman,
can't possibly recover, and two OF the
brakemen will probably not recover
