;;1RAzIL, March 31.-A terrific railroad col
hbn occurred in this city last night about
fao'eiock, in which William Stewart, fire.
Ga, was instantly killed and William Bran
81 the engineer, was severely injured.
IT, collision occurred on one of the coal
l branch tracks in the eastern part of the cor
poration, at the junction of two switches
The engineer was engaged in making up and
drawing out train of loaded coal flats
There is a steep grade on the main branch
just north of the junction with the switch
leading to the town shaft, and the engineer
had backed train of loaded flats up this
grade, while he cut loose and ran down be-
You'd the switch with the intention of back
ing up and running in on the switch to take
out some cars standing there He started
back toward the switch at high rate of
speed. In the meantime the train that had
been thrown above upon the grade was I'M
kontrollable by the two brakemen who
ghad been left upon it, and came
Numbering toward him, and the engine and
train came in collision just as the engine
was turning in upon the switch. Both divis-
ions were running at high rate of speed
when the collision occurred. The tender
was struck by the cars coming down the
grade, and driven into the engine, smashing
through the cab and causing a leak in the
boiler. The cars were telescoped and piled
one upon another, and the ground for some
distance around was strewn with coal The
engineer and fireman were both pinned into
the cab and exposed to a CALLING blast of
steam and hot water from the boiler. When
taken out Stewart was found to have had one
leg crushed completely of, but the immedi-
ate cause of his death is believed to have
oeen from scalding, as his body was cooked
! N a most frightful manner. Brannon's pre-
dicament was horrible in the extreme He
was pinned in his place, one leg being fast,
and in this condition the steam and hot
water was speedily doing its work of torture
and death He blew the whistle and called
for aid, but was not extricated for nearly a
half hour. He was not as much exposed to
the steam and hot water as Stewart, and was
less severely burnt Brannon is expected to
recover, though his burns and bruises are
very severe.

Special to the indianapolis Journa.
BLOOMINGTON, March 31.-A terrible domes
tic tragedy occurred in this city this after
noon, and has caused considerable excite
ment owing to the prominence of the parties.
A little after l o'clock, Robbins p. Dunn,
well-known citizen and carpenter contractor,
went to the home of his divorced wife, in the
east part of the city, and without word of
warning pulled out revolver from his
pocket and shot his wife while she sat at the
dinner-table with her family. He then
turned suddenly toward his son, a young
man about sixteen years of age, and shot at
him, inficting, however, but a slight flesh
wound. Dunn drew a knife, and with knife
and pistol in hand seized his young daughter,
bent on taking her life. The young man ran
to his sisters assistance, and terrible strug
gle ensued between father and son. The
wounds received by Mrs. Dunn will prove
fatal Dunn was arrested soon after and
placed in Jail. He was until year or so ago
an industrious and thrifty man, but since
his divorce from his wife has been rather dis
sipated in his habits spending his money in
most reckless manner while upon DIR unken
sprees. There is great indignation in the
city, and in the event of mis- wife's death
Bloomington may be the scene of ano Their
lynching, similar to the one experienced
about year ago, when Frank Pierce was
hung in the streets by an infu rated mob for
the heartess murder OF Jailer Teddy Fraks.
A special from Media, Pa, relates that
Robbins p. Dunn, who shot his wife on
Saturday and attempted to kill his children,
is one of eight sons of Gideon and Hannah
Dunn, of that place All his relatives are
highly respectable. In boyhood he was the
terror of the schoolmasters on ac-
count of his bad disposition and pugnaci-
ity. In 1868 he married in Philadelphia Mrs.
Stone, a widow, who afterward eloped
with Captain Jerome H. Mann, a wealthy
man of bad character, with whom she lived
in Towsontown, Nd. In 1865 Dunn recov-
cred S., 600 damages from Mann for the seduc-
ton OF his wife, and Immediately moved to
this city, Mrs. Dunn is resting easily, and
slight hopes are entertained that she may re-
cover. The doctors have located the ball,
and will extract it tomorrow. In an inter-
view, Dunn declares ne did not know how
the shooting was done. The popular indig-
nat on is intense.

MO0re's Funeral-West Church
Excursion.

About 500 people left this city Thurs-
day morning on the West Presbyterian
Church excursion to Atlantic City. The
FELTON, conveyed the exoursionists to
Pennsgrove where thay took the Dslaw are
Shore railroad and reached their destina-
tion at an early honr, spending pleasant
day on the beach.
On the return trip everything went
smoothly until Woodbury., N. j., WAS
reached, and here the excnrsionists met
with severe accident and had a narrow
escape.
The train, which consisted of eleven
cars, was run on a siding, and soon after
ward train of empty cars ran on the
same siding in the rear of the excursion
train, leaving space of about 15 fest
between the engine head and the rear
car of the excursion train.
Several minutes later the Salem freight
train swept around the ccrner, ycollided
with the empty train, throwing it for
ward into the excursion train with great
force. A lady and several gentlemen
were knocked down and very naturally
great excitement ensued. Passengers
rushed for the doors or leaped through
the windows to escape the suficating
steam from the broken engine which
filed the rear car.
The engine and cars of the Salem
freight aud empty train were badly
smashed up. Charles Lockmayer, fireman
on one OF the engines was terribly
bruised and burned. He will probably die.
The collision caused the exoursionsts a
delay of three hours and it was l O'Clock
in the morning before the FELTON,, which
conveyed them from Pennsgrove, landed
them at French street wharf.
John w. Gibson, a painter Of this city,
had his ankle sprained, and woman's
face was badly cut. Some carloads of
powder were standing on track adjoin-
ing the wreck, and had they caught fire
the result would have been terrible.
The engineer of the Salem freight train is
blamed for the accident.
