Reading and Columbia Railroad near

( 1t Will be remembered that he was

death. Mr.. Hahn was a brother of Mr..
FRANK Hahn, Superintendent Of the New

Inc Ofhcers' story of their fight with the
desperate outlaws in the mountain fast
ness is as follows:
pom entering the mountains they eau
uously approached the spot where they
had been informed their prisoner was
dusk
At the foot of the mountain they were
met by several men whs demanded their
business.
The officers refused 10 reply and an at
tempt was made to drive them away bi
showering on them a fusiIade of stones.
lhey were then attacked by several savage
dogs which had been set on them by the
desperadoes.
They soon settled the animals bv put
ting bullets through their heads.

forced their way up the mountain. where

every loot OF the way and soon gained on
them.
In the mean time the boy Ganowav was
hurried of in a roundabout Way and the
officers were forced to retreat under a fire
OF large stones, which were hurled at
them by the outlaws.
Inc boy was in charge of his friends

aware OF 1t and presented pistols and ar

They hurried him to Squire Krat,s

out.
The WEIGH Mountains are thickly
studded with trees and dense underbrush,
and are the retreats of numerous gangs of
outlaws, who make periodical raids ON
the people OF the surrounding country.
Among the best known of these bandits
are the BuZzard brothers.
Ihe story OF the dastardly deed by which
the train was wrecked causes intense in
dignation, and it was thought best to
hurry the boy to Reading. He will be
taken to Lancaster Jail in the morning.
1t has been learned that after placing
the timber on the track he went to tile
bridge overhead and calmly waited for the
train, and from there apparently enioyed
the scene of destruction and ruin of
which he was the author.
His parents live near the foot of the
Welch Mountains and are hand and glove

Against His Integrity.

Colonel Patton Refutes Charges Made
Against His Integrity.
NEW ORLEANS, May 22.-COl. J. w.
Patton, ex-Mayor of this city, and one of
the Board of Audit, has published a long
card denying the sweeping charges made
by the legislative committee against the
integrity of the board, which he says are
as false as they are slanderOus. After
explaining the action of the board at great
length, Colonel Patton says: "No act of
mine has ever justified the statement or
nsinuatiOn that | have ever participated
in or connived at any scheme fraught
with danger to the people of this State,
ana any such insinuation, come from
where it may, is a base calumny."
In reply to Col. Patton's card the COM
mittee have prepared a supplement re-
port in which they substantially rein
terate the charges contained in the
original report, submitting documentary
evidence to substantiate them, and con-
clude with a definition of their duties
toward the public, which impelled them to
expose wrongs irrespective of any
personal feelings. Three members of the
committee signed the report,
