LONDON, Dee. so, 1S79.-Madrid was
electrified this evening by the news ofanotn-
er attempt to assassinate the King. At i've
o'clock the King ordered his carriage. 1t
was an open landau, drawn by two horses,
with two footmen behind. Queen Christine
quickly passed through the file of servants
on the palace steps and stepped lightly into
the carriage. She was dressed with rich SIM
plicity. Her face was unusually gay and
happy. Alfonso grasped the reins and star
for the Salon.
As the royal carriage arrived at the palace
gate a young man was seen to advance, and
a report was heard. The young Queen felt
something whizz by her cheek. The King
started to his feet. Then it was seen that a
shot had been fired, and the young man,
who was little more than a boy, was seized
by the royal tootmen, the police and the by
ISLANDERS. The King showed himself as cool
as when his lite was attempted in the Gale
Mayor last year. The Queen was much dis
tressed, but she made a brave effort to hide
her emotion. The ball, which had fattened
against the palace, was picked up on the
pavement. 1t weighed an ounce. The
arrested youth said his name was Gonzalez,
a waiter by profession. It is believed he had
accomplices, and three persons have been ar

THE TERRIBLE DISASTER IN SCOTLAND.
The disaster at Norwalk, in Connecticut,
where a train ran into the gap of an opcn
drawbridge and fifty passengers were drown
ed within two hours ride of this city, is
still vivid in public recollection, though it
happened twenty six years ago. But it is
the recent catastrophe at Ashtabula, in
Ohio, which REQUIRED to every Americans
mind at the news of the tragedy in Scotland.
There, on a fierce wintry night of wind and
snow and biting cold, a train at full speed
pushed an iron truss bridge from it's sup
ports and dropped into a narrow chasm
nearly a hundred feet deep with one nun.
dred and forty passengers, of whom half
were killed-some outright by injury, some
by the cold as lay manglcd and helpless,
and some by the fire Of the During train,
from which they could not escape because
they were held down by the wreckd mate
rial Of the cars. Now, the last Sunday train
which left Edinburgh for Dundee North
British Railway, just at dusk on a winter
evening, and reached the south bank of the
Firth near seven o'clock, started to traverse
an iron bridge two miles long and disappear
cd in the middle of its course. The moon
was shining brightly. There was no unusual
commotion Of the weather except in the
wind. That was blowing with extraordinary
lOINC. n I'LL llHutC pooC oSNSh IuC SISudl
was given from the Fifeshire shore that the
train had entered the bridge. Some of the
residents had gathered at the north end to
await its arrival. When it grew late and
they caused inquiry to be made why it did
not come it was found that Geographic com
munication was Interrupted. \ multitude
of horrorstricken people was soon gathered
from Dundee. Then two railroad officers
crawled out along the iron spans three quar-.
ters Of a mile or more, and came to a yaw
ming abyss half mile wide, at the bottom.
of which was flowing the tide of the Firth.
One-third of the whole structure had fall
len. Crawling back with bleeding hands.
they reported what they had witnessed, and
then it was recalled that at about .he time
the train must have been near the middle
OF the crossing a strange appearance had
been observed of a shower of fire hurled
downward at that point, which was. the
contents of the furnaces of the locomotive
dashed out in its fearful career from the level
of the bridge to the water. Between the
man who had signalled the beginning Of the
passage from Fifeshire and those who wait
ed opposite the train Of seven cars had Won
ished, leaped from the rails, torn through
the open framework of the spans and pluny-
ed ninety-feet downward into the sea. Pro
badly the passengers were all locked into
thfer compartments, as is usual on railroads
In Great Britain.
