FATAL ACCIDENT "A fatal accident occur
red few miles west of Meechum's River de-
pot one night last week resulting in the death
of brakeman attached to one of the through
freight trains bourd from Huntington to Rich
mond. Tue unfortunate young man resided
about three miles east of Mccchum'S River
depot, and Was on the first of five through
traius closely following each other. 1t is sup
posed that In passing from one car to another
he fell between them aud was instantly killed.
at all events all five of the trains passed over
his body and mangIed it 10 the most ter
rible manner-indeed, so horribly mutilated
was it that the largest portion found was one Of
his feet and portion of the ankle. The young
man while not on the road lived at his moth
err residence, about FIVE or six miles east of
the point where the accident occurred and very
near the railroad. 1t appears that when he
fell lis coat one Of the pockets Of which held
his pocket book, caught on one of the wheels
and was coiled around and around and carried
to a point where the path from his home cross
ed the railroad track Here the pocket-book
dropped or was shot out of the coat pocket In
to the path. The Dext morning one OF his
mothers little children was playing near the
house and picked up the book and carried it
into the house. She at once recognized it as
her sons, and she soon heard of the terrible
accident Lunch. Ntws.

ATRoC1oUs MURDER.-A New Kent CORES
poDdeDt Of the Richmond Dispatch reports the
following particulars of most atrocious murder
in Nllddlesex county:
In the early part of this week it appears
that white man named Fisher, residing in the
ueighborhood of UrbanDa, Middlesex county,
in company with an accomplicc, whose name
is not given, Suspecting Mr.. Ross of having
a large sum of money about his person, con-
ceaed themselves upon the roadside and near
the house of Ross, and there awaited his ap-
proach When sufficiently near, Fisher dis
charged shot gun loaded with buck shot al,
his victim, eleven of the number penetrating
the body. Ross was then disembowelled and
carried to the Rappahanuock river, and there
an anchor, with an old plough casting, tide
about his body, thrown, as the murderers sup
posed, in the channel of the river; but it hap
pened to fall upon bar, and was exposed to
view at low water, which led to its discovery by
a white and black boy who were fishing in the
river few days after the murder. The guilty
parties have beeu arrested; and there is much
excitement 10 the community growing out of
this shocking affair.

the PELICAN CLUB REGATTA.
THE RIvERSIDES SHOW THEMSELVES.

|
There are different estimates as to the num-
Der that was in attendance yesterday at the
Annual Regatta of the Pelican Rowing Club,
but the best authorities set it down at $780,
and as they (the best authorities) are supposed
to be accurate, the number by them esti-
mated is recorded. There were 5000 people
present, filing the lighthouses of the Peli-
can and st. John clubs, and lining the BAYOU
Oh both sides.
The ladies were by NO means in the
minority, and, on this account, o survey Of
the crowd was not the least Of the pleasures
Of the day.
At about 5:45 o'clock the sport commenced
with y
THE FIRST RACE

Clubs, composed as follows
Pelican Crew - Colors White and Red.

1t was pretty ace from the start, aud was

boys were on their metal, and passed under
the string one length in the lead, in 90 minutes
so seconds.
THE SECOND RACE
over the course was between the Riversides
and the Emergency Crew " OF the Pelican

sides, who came in in q :49a. and waited for
their opponents for some moments after to do
the same and report.
The next on the programme,

between the Pelicans and the St. Johns was
counted out ON account Of the approach Of
darkness. -'Jp.
THE CONCLUDING RACE.
was between winning crews of preceding
races, and the Pelicans and RiversiAes came
to the 'front.'
The course was two miles,
The Riversides showed the result of their
training and the muscle they possessed, and
won the race by 40 yards, in the remarkable
time Of 1891.
The sport was wound up by ball at the
Magnolia Garden and the dancing was kept
to o late hour.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORM.
SHOWER OF HAI1sToNEs THE SIZE op ORANGES
IN NEW JERSEY.
New York Herald, July 6.l

lNeW 1Ofh neFAbO, July o.
One of the most extraordinary phenomena
ever witnessed in this country took place on
the Fourth Of July in Bergen county, New
village of Westwood, during the celebration
OF the day, sudden darkness came over the
village, and, before the alarmed inhabitants
could seek shelter, a viOlen storm Of hail
stones descended upon the heads Of the crowd
Hailstones two inches and a half in diameter,
and Us hard and heavy as cobble stones, came
down in q furious shower. Hens and chickens
were killed in large numbers; cows and horses
were stunned.
The frightened populace ran in every direc-
ton, seeking shelter in sheds, beneath trees
and in every available spot. Fortunately the
majority escaped without injury. A young
lady named Miss Bogart was, however, struck
on the hand by one Of the hailstones and her
wrist and arm frightfully lacented ~ the
Ridgewater House, in the village, an enOr-
NOUS amount Of damage was done. Not
single pane Of glass was left whole in the
building, and, incredible as it may appear,
the hailstones actually broke through the
slate roof, as if they had been cannon balls
The storm covered an area Of about Is miles,
stretching from Spring Valley to Kinder Ka-
mack. The storm prevailed at its utmost at
the stations OF Pascack and RidgewoOd, which
are on the Hackensack branch OF the Ere
railroad, aud the depots we're completely rid
died as though battle had been fought in
the neighborhOod As late as 6 O'Clock yes
terday morning hailstones we're picked up at
the station the size Of walnuts. - q .
Through the section Of the country where
the storm ragged most perfect scene Of de-
struction can be witnessed Every tree is
stripped Of its fruit. grain fields Of rye and
corn laid low, and the hope Of hay this faAi.is
entirely gone. The sensation created in the
village was, as might be imagined, tSemen-
dous In sewing machine factory, Just
above Rdgewood, over 1909 panes d Glass
we're broken and the slate roof damaged
The shower continued just thirty minutes,
and in this short space Of time danAA8eito tAe
amount OF many thousands Of d0lArs was
done. The haiistones, ON an. sverage, were,
the size of turkey eggs, and Of every con-
ceivable shape, with sharp corners and edges
that cut like knives. During the conalnaa-
ton Of the shower the thunder and lightning
we're inceMant, and with the scresming Of
men, women and children and the shrieks Of
ahnghted cattle, the scene was one truly
awful. gig ~ 81 1855
