The ride of the two consulting phys
icians to the bedside of the wounded
President at Washington must go into
history as one of the most remarkable
on record. DR.. Frank II. Hamilton
received the dispatch summoning him
to Washington at his house, New
York, on Sunday. 1t took him only
ten minutes to prepare for the journey.
He left the house at about 2 o'clock,
with the remark that he did not
know when the next train would
start, but would get u carriage and go
to the ferry so that he would be ready
entered the Jersey City passenger
waiting room, where he was recog-
nized. Supt. Jackson, who was in his
Office i'm another part of the depot was
sent for A very brief time sufficed
to make him aware of the situation.
He hurried away from DIR. Hamilton,
and seven minutes later the latter was
rushing out of the depot on special
train 1t was $40 2. NJ. when the
depot master and train dispatchers re-
ceived notice to he spry. Engine 9l5,
one of the best of the ordinary
engines, with five foot driving
wheel, was hitched to new Eastlake
coach, and at $3.50 it was run out of
the depot.
The freight trains were all got out
of the way one after another on side
tracks in time to allow the special to
roar past them without Stacking speed
but two passenger trains delayed the
Doctor fifteen minutes. He arrived at
Philadelphia at o'clock, a distance of
ninety miles, in 100 minntcs. The
engineer was A. Vandergrift and the
conductor H. w. Hcadly. At Phila-
delphia a stop of but few minutes
was made in which to to allow DIR.
Agnew to get on the cars. From
Philadelphia to Wilmington with Il
| stop ut Chester and other places, the
run was made in twenty-seven min
| utes, the distance being twenty-siX X
miles. a dispatch had been sent to
Wilmington for a brakeman, and Il
man named Humphreys was detailed
! to"make the train."At 5:27 the special
went dashing through Wilmington at
the rate of ut least eighteen miles AN
hour, and the intrepid brakeman stood
near the track. He made a desperate
grab for the rear platform, and at the
risk of his life succeeded in gaining a
! hand and foothold. The train arrived
I at Washington at $50 p. Man
! average run from New York of almost
fifty miles an hour. This is the
fastest railroad time for the distance
and considering the stops on record.

A Sad Mistake.

While John Stewart was squirrel
hunting near Bellevernon, WestmOre-
land county, on Friday morning a
week, he heard and saw something
moving i'm the leaves OH tree that
had lately blown down. Supposing
this to be squirrel and fearing it
would get away before he could see it
distinctly he fired at the moving
leaves and Immediately heard some
thing fall heavily that he thought
he had shot a coon, and hurrying
around the tree found that he had
shot Frank McFall, who was lying
on his back insensible. McFall was
about IA years old, and was hunting
Stewart was not acquainted with the
boy nor did he known he was hunt
ing in the woods at all. McFall did
not speak after the shooting and died
at 2 p. M. the same day. Several
shots entered the skull near the
temple and passed through the brain
and were lying just inside the skull
on the opposite side of the head. An
inquest was held and the verdict was
that Frank McFall came to his death
in consequence of being shot acci-
