ITEMS FROM NEW YORK.

rested at Port Jervis, Monday night, for stealing

character of the burglars when they were pur-

numbers. Soon after the train started the rob-
berry was discovered and the ticket agent tele-
eraphed the number of their tickets to Port Jer-
Wis. All the money was found in their possess

| OF their skill and energy in assisting Finlay.

BaTnum's show exhibited at Paterson yester-
| day, and the company, alter travelling all night,
| reached the New Jersey Central road at Craw-
ford about seven O'Clock this morning. There
were six men in the wagon. Five were asleep
in the rear of it, and the driver the sixth, was
| asleep on his box. At Crawford there is down
| grade, which gives great impetus to train
moving onward to jersey City depot. The in
slant the wagon was rolling over the first rail
| the whistle of the approaching train startled
| one of the slumberers. He leaped 10 his feet,
| and opening an iron slide in the door of the
| wagon, saw the train coming. He was para
| lyzed with fear and stood a silent spectator of
| the approaching engine. Before he could warn
| his fellows of the danger, the engine with its
| train of carriages came dashing into the i'll
| fated wagon. The four sleepers in the rear of
| the wagon never woke. Their limbs were found
| scattered along the blood-Stained track, and
| their flesh appending to the debris of the bro
| ken up wagon. The driver was literally cut TO
| pieces, as were the two horses. Only one man
survived to tell how the accident grew out of
| the negligence of the driver. The wounds of
this person are so fearful that little hope of his
| recovery is entertained.

| cess of loading, but committed no overt act, the
pIoprietors standing by fully prepared and de-
