STILL ANOTHER MURDER AT Montclair, N. j.,
recently, Mr. Joseph A. Blair reproved his coach
man, John Armstrong, for beating his horses and
for stopping for a drink OF beer at a saloon.
Armstrong talked back in quite an independent
way, saying II his services were not satisfactory
he would leave. A dispute arose about the
wages. Blair was incensed by the coachmans
language, went into the house and got a revolver,
and ended the discussion by firing two balls into
Armstrong, from the effect OF which he died.
Blair says he killed the man in self-deience
Armstrong, in his ante mortem statement, said he
WAS going up stairs when the shots were fired

effort will be made TO secure his acquittal. lie

Granting that he really believed that his angry
coachman was going In search OF pistol to shoot
him, rghtminded man would have reiterated TO
his house, sent for an officer, and only used his
pistol In sei-defence when actually attacked. By
going to his house. getting pistol and returning
To the scene, he courted the outbreak which
tempted him TO shoot his unfortunate servant

England the difficulty would be settled by 1sti-

STRUCK by ABRIDGE.-George Hoffman Of Geor-
gia, brakeman on the Central Vermont railroad,
was early Monday morning struck by bridge No. g.,
between here and Mortified. making scalp
wound fully four inches long. Strange to say, he
did not fall from the cars. and more strange still,
the scalp was turned up forwards instead of back
wards as would naturally be expected, Dr. Brig
ham OF this town was passing in the highway as
he was picked up, got the train and ac-
companied him to Mortified. where he, assisted
by DIR. Mayo, dressed his wounds. He has recov-
cred his consciousness, but his legs and one
arm are completely paralyzed and his recov-
cry is very doubtful. The accident could not
have occurred had he been on the ordinary
ears, as all the bridges on the road have been
raised to comply with the law; but this was
a refrigerator car and Is nearly two feet higher
than others. 1t would seem that the law should
be amended 80 as to regulate the hight Of cars as
well ~ Of bridges.
