DARING ATTEMPT TO THROW HUDSON RIVER
EXPRESS TRAIN OFF THE TRACK.
A diaboncal attempt to throw an express train
on the track OF the Hudson River Railroad was
made at Dobos Ferry Westchester county, a night
or two ago. 1t appears that about nine O'Clock on
the night in question a woman living a snort dis
lance north OF the passenger depot at the place
named saw ave men working apparently IN the
dark az the switch on the down track and which
Is located nearly opposite her dwelling. The
womans suspicious having been aroused as 10
the object OF ne men, she called out, demanding
10 know what they were doing, and on being an
swered by volley Of stones, she fastened TO
inform the station agent OF the matter. Mean
time tue strangers, on seeing That they mad been
detected at their nelarlous operations, ned,
leaving behind them stout crowoar
examination OF the spot demonstrated
tnat the miscreanLS had endeavored TO open the
switch with the evident intention OF wrecKlng
the Montreal express tram. which passes DODD's
Ferry at about quarter past nine o'clock and
iJ travels at speed OF about thlrtyfve or forty
miles per hour, the sacrifice oil human life must
have been great had the parties succeeded In ac-
comprising their nendsn work. IL rs believed
that the operators were New York thieves, whose
object was to punIer the passengers after the
train had been wrecked.

be obviated wlthous additional expense 10 the city
by transferring the prisoners sentenced for ten
days 70 other quarters, and establishing N as an
invarable rule TO keep In the CITY Prison only

CONCLUSIONS.
While Senator Fox's OIL mas some advocates in
this clly-among whom our worthy Recorder Is
loremost-the opposition TO Mr.. Waehner's bill
among lawyers, judges and others seems TO be
well niRn unanimous. IL rs generally agreed that
the Court OF General Sessions s sufficient Tor all
present wants. more especially as 10 might even
now ho0 double sessions without lurJner expense
TO the taxpayers. AS regards the probability OF
the passage OF the two bills the impression among
we-inlormed politicians is that senator Fox'S
measure viii be ADOPTED while that OF Mr.. Waeh-
ner will be defeated.

THE BOGUS INSURANCE AGENTS
FATE.

Louis E. French, secretary OF the bogus Paiisade
Insurance Company, who was convicted IN TIE
Court OF Quarter Sessions at Jersey City OF con-
splracy to deiTaud, was called up for sentence
yesterday. The prisoner was accompanied by his
vile when he was placed at the bar, and she
manifested all the constancy and devotion which
characterized her during the trial. While the
Court was passing sentence reference was made
TO her fidelity, winch brought gush OF tears to
eyes, and the prisoner himself. with all his hardy
nerve, qualled. the Court remarked that it was
a sad thing to ma young man ol so much intel
lgence engaged in business so disreputabe. es-
peclaly when he belonged 10 respectable family
In consideration OF the entreatles OF his family
and the act that he had been seven months in
prison, the sentence OF the Court would be one
year and half In the State Prison.
