A Diabolioal Scheme.

ST. LOUIS, June 3.
AS the express train on the st. Louis
s. San Francisco Railroad reached
point one and half miles west of Wood
ward Station, 100 miles from st. Louis,
at 9:20 last night, the engineer saw some
kind of obstruction on the track, and in
stantly applied the ir-brake, but not
quickly enough, for upon reaching the
spot where the obstruction was the en-
CINE and baggage-car left the track and
plunged down an embankment forty feet
high. Samuel Richardson, fireman, and
DR.. E. L. Atkinson, who were on the en-
gine, were instantly killed, and Frank
Cation, engineer, was so badly wounded
that he died in two hours. DR.. Atkinson
was the physician of the company and
was riding on the engine.
Conductor Wilson was in the rear car
at the time the air-brake was applied,
and Immediately ran forward and found
the engine and baggage.car down the
embankment. He started at once for the
engine, and on the way heard pistol
shot, and ball passed through his hat.
Several other shots were fired, and the
passengers say they saw five men stand
ing near, who were revealed by the flsshes
from their pistols, but nobody was hit.
Two balls passed through the baggage
car.
On examining the track it was found
that the fish-bars connecting the rails on
both sides of the track had been un-
jointed, and the ends of the rails moved
80 that the train would run down the
embankment. A monkey wrench, an
iron pick and claw bar were also found
on the track. This, in connection with
the shots fired and the men seen, left no
doubt in the minds of the conductor and
passengers that diabolical scheme had
been planned to run the whole train
down the bank, rob the express and
plunder the passengers. That it was
not carried out may be explained by the
fact that the night was intensely dark,
that it rained heavily and that the train
was only running at speed of ten miles
an hour, which prevented any of the
passenger cars leaving the track. There
is no clcw to the perpetrators of the
fiendish act. The locomotive was cap
sized and badly wrecked.

The Ellenton Conspiracy Trial.

CHARLEsToN, S. c., June 3.
Chief Justice Waite summoned the
Jury in the Ellenton cases into court last
night and found that they could only
agree upon a verdict in the case of one
of the eleven persons charged with con-
spiracy. This was A. w. Atkinson, who
was acquitted The Judge then discharged
the jury and the ten remaining prisoners
were released upon giving bonds for their
appearance at the next term of the court.
The counsel think it unlikely that these
cases will ever again be tried. The accused
are eleven white men of Aiken County,
who are charged under the Enforcement
act with conspiracy to interfere with the
political rights of David Bush (colOred).
Some $50 or 800 whites from the same
county have been arrested and held in
bail on similar charges, but only these
eleven have been brought to trial as
test. The jury stood six to six on the
question of general acquittal, the six
whites being for and the six blacks
against. The black jurymen, however,
were willing to agree upon verdict con-
victing two of the accused and acquit-
ting all the rest, but 10 this the six whites
would not consent

A Remarkable Escape,

Mr.. Carrico has logging camp on the
east side of the Willamette, about two
miles below Albina. The logs are cut
on the high bluff and by means of n shute
are sent into the river below. His house
stands at the foot of the hill, a little one
side of the shute. Last Saturday log
was started down and, from some unac.
cOuntable reason, jumped the shute just
after starting and headed directly for the
house. The alarm was sounded, but too
late for the inmates-Mrs. Carrico, a
daughter and an infant child which was
asleep in the cradle-to leave before the
log entered endwise with full momentum,
hitting the cradle and literally knocking
it to pieces, as well as smashing the
childs Gollwhich lay with it in the cradle
The child itself was thrown from the
cradle a distance of about four feet by
the concussiOn. But, strange to say, none
of the inmates of the house were injured,
although one side of the house was
broken in. Mr.. Carrico has concluded
to move TO another quarter since this ex-
pertinent in log jumping Portland d
(0re.) Standard.

was going at eleven knots when she
struck. The Captain was on the bridge
an hour before the steamer struck, and
estimated everything by his watch.
Twenty minutes after she struck the fires
were out, and in that twenty minutes she
was running toward shore under full
head of steam, made distance of nine
or ten miles, and there grounded in thirty
feet of water on a sand bottom The
next morning a foot of her stern was
seen out of water, but her whole body
was submerged and the mizzen-mast
gone. The baggage of the passengers
and furniture were constantly floating
ashore during the day. The money of
the passengers is in the purser's hands
The ships money and all the baggage is
totally lost. 1t was run for life.
SAN FRANoIsoo, june 2.
Capt Waddell and Purser Jerome, Of
the City of San Francisco; M. H. Sar-
gent, of Boston, and Sutton, of New
York, passengers, arrived by train to-day.
The officers avoid giving theories con-
cerniDg the rock on which the ship struck
The passengers say there was deep water
all around it. The Mexican gunboat of
fcers say they knew nothing of it. In a
few minutes after striking, the boats
were cleared away without confusion,
and the passengers seated in them ready
for lowering. Full steam was put on,
grounding about four miles from shore
The boats were instantly lowered and
pulled for the beach. On landing, out
of nine boats only one escaped upset
ting. The surf was rolling twelve
or fifteen feet high, and when ii
struck the boats it came with such force
that the occupants were hurled ten or
fifteen feet. Babes were thrown from
their mothers, and even garments and
jewelry were wrenched from them by the
waves. When the first boat touched the
shore those in it threw out rope and
ranged themselves in line to help the
next corners; and this system of render
ing assistance was followed until every
soul was safe on land. One body was
rescued just before life was extinct, and
it took some time to restore vitality. One
of the ladies was caught under boat
and held there for some time, but as the
next swell of the sea raised the
craft she managed to escape. There
was no time for delicate band
ling. The men knowing that the
safety of lives depended upon prompt
and vigorous action handled the chill
dren as they would so many bags of
sand. In attempting to launch boat to
return to the wreck the assistant en-
gineer had leg broken. Capt. Waddell
was the last to leaye the ship. Only
about fifteen feet of the vessel then re-
mained above the water, the waves wash
ing over her. He, with thirty-five others,
came ashore on the life-raft, which went
over the surf without capsizing.

since died, The ruins of the buildings
are burning, threatening the total de-
struction of the town.
