Death or Mr.. neutrality-suspicious.
four o'clock p. NJ. on Sunday last Mr.. En-

earthly sufferings by death. His sufferings
were severe from the gunshot wonnd in the
back OF the neck, two weeks and one day

er from. it. One OF the spinal cords wa.
severed by the shot whcl, produced com
plete pnralization of the lover part of the

children to mourn their loss. Two of The
girls are married. The funeral services
took place at st. Rose de Lima church,

Attempt 10 Throw a Train from tho


Track.--Mr. F. J. Oblinger was on the
train Saturday night returning from n visit
TO Germantown, and describes in the Bee
the diabolical attempt TO wreck the train
just this side of Tonlogany: There are n
few devils running loose in Wood county,
who are badly in need OF hempen band
age around the neck. Last Saturday night
when conductor Jones' passenger train on
the d. & NJ. Railway, due here at 1885 in
the evening, reached point about two
miles north of Tontogany, the engineers
quick glance fell upon tie laid across the
trick, and fortunately the train was checked
in time TO avoid a disaster, and the obstruc-
tion removed. The train again got under
way, and proceeded but short distance,
when it was again checked up and several
fence rails were removed from the track
before il could again proceed. These OBJ
slacles were deliberately placed there for
the purpose OF throwing the train from the
track, by some one who either had spite
against the Company, or for robbery.
The person guilty OF such an act would
deliberately commit murder, and is deserv-
ing of the severest punishment recognized
by our laws ~ Il penalty. Tie Company
should offer handsome reward for the de.
lection and conviction of these outlaws.

The RESULT OF TRYING TO SUPPRESS THE

The whole story OF the struggle which
has lately taken place between the authOri-
ties and the gaming.hOuses at Madrid is
one OF some interest Apparently Count
Xquena. who was made Governor OF
Madrid 10y the Sagasia Ministry, IS a man Of
energy and determination, and took Office
with the ayowed intention OF closing the
Madrid gaming.tables. He took his mea-
surcs well, and at given moment
made an unexpected descent upon a
large number OF houses. The irri-
tation reused by the move was great,
and the struggle between the Governor and
the gamblers began soon TO be marked by
curious incidents. Madrid was startled by
sudden irruptIon Of pctards. Bombs
containing a considerable amount Of pow
der, and sometimes a small charge OF dyna-
mite, were exploded night after night in
the principal streets OF the capital, and the
police were utterly unable to trace the per.
sons who threw them. The CalderOn cen.

children were tricked into throwing some

severely. This was too much. and the po.
lice began at last to look about them to some
purpose. A young man has now been caught
in the act OF laying a bomb, whose confes-
siOns have implicated numbers Of Madrid ga

made in the capital on the strength OF his
depositions, and several mole in the pro-
