from Murder at Their
Hands.

BALrINoRE. Mp, December 25.-A
disgraeef1l riot took place, attended
with violence and blOodshed, on the
train which left Camden Station, on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at ll;l5 p.
NJ. Wednesday. A few minutes before
the departure OF the train party OF
roughs boarded it, infamed with liquor
and determined on mischief An in
offensive cOlored man became the
first victim Of their violence. They
drove him from the car, and
would not permit him to enter it again.
The train started Immediately after this,
and had gone but a short distance when
they discovered in one OF the first cars
another colOred man, who, to escape a
threatening beating, ran into the ladies'
car, closely followed by the rOughs. A
gentleman m this car, who was accom-
panied by his wife and child, saw the
cOlOred mans danger, and promptly
closed the door between him and his
pursuers, bolting il and preventing them
from entering.
On the arrival Of the train at Mt.
Winans, however, the roughs. whose
eOuduct at this time resembled that OF
maniacs, effected an en- entrance by
breaking the glass in the car door and
drawing the bolt. On entering the
car they asssailek the passengers
right and lett, making an indiScrim-
mate attack upon all, unmindtul OF
the frightened shrieks Of the Ia
dies and children. The rOughs drew
pistols and fired in every direction, re-
gardleSs of consequences or which OF
frightened occupants of the ear might
be hit by the flying bullets. The great
est terror and CONSERVATION ensue1
among the passengers, and many were
prevented with the greatest difficulty
IRON throwing themselves OIL the train
while it was in motion.
The train men, consisting OF a con-
ductOr and brakeman, were unable 10
render anv assistance, and all efforts to
expel the rioters from the train before
they arrived at their destination, the
Relay House, were in vain. On arriy'
ing at that point the rougbs LETT, glory
ing in their Christmas ach&ements and
making the night hIdeous with their
blasphemOus Oaths and shouts.
A gentleman residing in the vicinity
Of the Relay House was severely cutin
the face by stick OF wool hurled at
him without any prOyOcation on
his part. A cOlOred woman from
EllicOt CITY was shot in the
neck. The wound bled freely,
forming a pool on the floor ot the car.
A number OF the passengers were
bruised from blows and more or less in
jured. A passenger recognized several
Of the roughs, which it Is hoped may
lead to the arrest and punishment OF
the gang.

Soundness that even the scraping and

parIor, where a grangers' ball was in full
swing, did not succeed in disturbing.
There are no locks on rural bedroom
doors, as every one knows, and at about
A. NJ. the sleepers were awakened by
being suddenly hauled out of bed into
the middle of the floor by the feet.
Around their briefly attired forms stood
a circle Of young ladies, brilliant with
red cheeks and green ribbons, who eX.
claimed cheerily: "Iou are nice fellers,

there's fun going on. Come, there 5

have had TO do it, too.
