A Lively Struggle with Two Prisoners on
Train. t

The Pittsburg Leader says: Sheriff
d. G. Oyster, of Elk county, arrived in
this city this morning, accompanied by
Deputy-sheriff Winsel, having in charge
two desperate characters named James
Daley and Patrick Goodman, sentenced
at the recent term of the court of Elk
county for burglary, the former reeeiv-
ing two years and six months and the
latter two years.
The party arrived at Warren yester-
day and finding that some hours would
elapse before the departure of the train
at A. M, on the Allegheny Valley
Road, the men were placed in the Jail
at that place. Between 8 and o'clock
the sheriff and his deputy started to es-
cort the prisoners to the depot. On the
way from the Jail to the cars, Daley,
who is powerful young fellow about 30
years of age, in some manner slipped
his handouts, and breaking away started
to run.
The sheriff held to Goodman, while
Deputy Sheriff Winsel started after
Daley. Finding that Daley was get
ting away from him the deputy sheriff
fired at him, and the prisoner looking
around when he heard the shot, struck
his head against tree, and before he
could recover himself Winsel was upon
him, and desperate struggle ensued,
both being powerful men. Daley caught
the deputy by the throat and at the same
time took hold of him with his teeth
After moments struggle a citizen came
to the rescue, and with his aid the pris-
oner was overpowered.
When the train was approaching
Irvington, Daley requested the sheriff
to get him drink. This the sheriff
did, but as he approached the man Dali
ley kicked the glass out of the sheriff7s
hands, and with an oath demanded beer
instead of water. Turning to his COM
panion he proposed that they should go
and get some beer. He readily assented,
and dash was made for the door. The
train was just slowing up at the station
and the sheriff and his deputy sprang to
the door, where another struggle was
inaugurated by the reckless criminals.
The sheriff hesitated to use his revol-
yer, as the car was occupied by num-
ber of passengers, but just at the moment
a stone-mason came aboard, carrying in
his hand a hammer, which the sheriff
seized, and after some twelve or fifteen
blows with the handle of the instru-
ment, finally subdued the men and no
further trouble was experienced ON the
trip. The handle of the hammer was
broken in the struggle, and both men
used up. One of them, Daley, though
not considered as seriously injured, was
placed in the hospital at the penitentiary
after his arrival

MEMPHIS, before the plague, had a
population of $4,000, but of the people
who now remain only 1900 are in

parts of the country included within a
radius of ten miles of the city. Fifteen
volunteer physicians have died in Mem
phis, and twenty others are sick. Eight
Catholic priests and five Protestant
ministers have also perished.

Now that the Negroes have been left

Now that the Negroes have been left
to depend upon themselves, they are
rapidly acquiring the means of self-de-
fence, and knowledge how to use them
for attack if need be. Only a few days
ago colored mob took a white man out
of Jail at Boulte, La, and riddled him
with bullets, as if they had been crowd
of high-toned southern gentlemen and
the prisoner ''only nigger."
