County Physician Brown of Elizabe,
inquired yesterday into the death Of Ed
ward Helppeny, brakeman, and the de-
struction Of two locomotives Of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey at the Port
on Saturday afternoon. Benjamin Moore,
engineer Of locomotive No. 81, and James
Groat, engineer of the "bobtail" locomo-
tive, both Of which were wrecked, gave
their testimony. Moore said that after
he had cut loose from coal train a shor;
distance from the Jefferson avenue switch
In Elizabeth, he started TO back down the

cd from a hand car had lodged between

to the ground to remove it, leaving the

they heard a rumbling noise ahead and on
looking up the track saw the coal train.
which they had left only few minutes
previously. within 4 few feet OF the loco
motive, running rapidly. Both men en-
desvored to reach the cab before the col
lisiou, but were not successful. \ second
later the coal train struck the engine
The throttle valve was thrown wide open
and the locomotive started toward Eliza
bethpoyt at the rate Of forty miles All
hour. They knew that if not turned on %
side track it would plunge headloug into
the company's shops below, and many
would be killed; but they had no way Of
communicating with the Port
Engineer Gleason followed up the mar
rative by relating what happened 10 his
engine. He said that he was sittin. in
the cab, which was standing on the scale
track, few rods from the shops at the
Port, when he saw locomotive No. 81
approaching at terrific speed. CompEe-
bending the situation at glance, be told
Fireman Anderson and Brakemen Beau
mont and Helppeny to jump, at the same
time leaping to the ground. Beaumont
and Anderson escaped, but Helppeny did
not hear the warning and remained at his
post. The collision that followed was
terrific, both engines being crushed GU; Of
shape. Helppeny was found mangled be-
meath he wreck Of the engine on which
he had been standing. He died within 4
few minutes. Engineer Moore was corro-
bora,ed by his fireman, and both Grcat
and Beaumont were substantiated by 9TH
er eye witnesses. The loss TO the Central

The miners jumped off their animals
and crouched down and protected them.
selves as much as possible under
cover Of logs and brush, and prepared
themselves to receive the attack. The
reds when within about 800 yards open.
ed fire upon them, at the first volley
the Frenchmen was wounded in the
legs and two of their horses killed,
They returned the fire and the battle
commenced in good earnest, and con.
tinued for about two hours, the miners
held their covered position and shoot
ing whenever they could draw bead
on an Indian, and thus they kept them
at bay. At last the Indians retreated
in haste. The miners pursued them
cautiously for about 4 miles and then
returned. They had found the bodies
of five who had fallen victims to their
rifles. One of them was armed with
needle gun, one with Hudson Bay
gun, one with an old fashioned army
musket, and two had bows and arrows.
They captured three of the Indians
horses. Blmrick says that they saw in
all about Is bucks and four or five
sqnaws. The squaws were not seen un.
Ill the firing had ceased and the Indians
were on the retreat. They seemed to
have come from the direction of Salmon
river and were going north and Bim-
rick and party thought they must be
Bannocks. They did not fight as they
had expected Nez Perces would fight.
The miners then soon changed their
position lest other parties should attack
them, and after few days they turned
their course by another route in the d.
rection of settlements on Clearwater
The wounded Frenchman caused them
to delay sometime. The above
is the statement of Bmrick as
near as we can remember as given to us
in presence of one or two others.

ReSolre2, That we are unalterably OPP

This resolution does not commit the

sufficient to justify State government.
The limit in each case is left to the
