Saved BY a Scratch-The Terrible Peril
of Train Load of Passengers.
VNCENNEs, July 13-On the Evansville
and Terre Haute, five miles north of this
city, last night, an extra train jumped the
track and nearly caused the wreck of train
crowded with passengers from the Chicago
convention. An engine and caboose was run
ming on the Chicago trains time and was but
two minutes ahead of it at Fort Knox, the
scene of the disaster. At the point of the
curve the tender of the extra jumped the
track, dragging off the rear drivers of the
engine and hauling the caboose over the ties
and rails for six hundred yards. The ties
were torn from the road bed and the rails
for that distance were bent like straws. The
tender is now mass of bent iron and the
caboose is broken into splinters. The wheels
and trucks are scattered all about in the
woods promiscuously and the ruins of the
caboose lie a hundred feet away. The &C.
cupants of this car were the conductor, vii
liam Lucas; fireman, James O'Brien, and Mr.
Mitchell of Decatur, Ill, machinist who
was riding by the courtesy of the conductor.
Lucas crawled out of the wreck and started
around the curve to flag the approaching
passenger train, taking off his coat and wav-
ing it as he ran. When he saw that he was
recognized by the engineer of the passenger
train he dropped to the ground from exhaus-
ton. His injuries are serious. Mitchell had
his nose and leg broken. Fireman O'Brien
is bruised and injured internally. He and
Mitchell are unconscious and it is feared
they will die. Brakeman William coleman,
of Evansville, was temporarily on the engine
and was cut on the forehead. The engine re-
NAMED upon the track and the engineer es-
capped injury. The passenger train, which
was warned by Lucas, ran over some of the
1oosened rails before it could be stopped

Mime. Jume1 Outshone by a Negro.

From the New Orleans Delta 1879
Yesterday Saratoga was the scene of what
may be termed most disgraceful outrage,
while others hold to very different opinion.
But, de gustibus non est disputandum. The
facts are as follows: Nine. Jumel, once the
wife of Aaron Burr, is now here with a turn
out consisting of four gray horses and ba-
rouche with seat behind, etc. She has sew
eral times ridden out with her footman seat
ed behind the carriage, and all four of her
horses ahead. No one, however, took any
notice of it, Yesterday her carriage and four
stood in front of the hotel one hour. On
each of the nigh horses a position was
mounted dressed in livery, with broad gold
bands around their hats.
During the time the carriage was in wait
ing dense crowd had collected around. She
had no sooner started off in her carriage and
at the very instant she passed the corner of
the hotel, than she encountered another turn
out exactly like her own, with the exception
that it had white positions and footman and
the four horses were a shade lighter, while
the sole occupant was a shade darker, he
he being nothing more nor less than the ne
gro Tom Campbell, and away they both sped in
gallant style, amid a deafening cheer from
the assembled multitude. On reaching Con-
gress Spring the negro's carriage has dis
tanced the madames.
At this point Nine. Jumels carriage turned
round, and up she came again. But Black
Tom was not to be outgeneralled in that man
ner. His positions wheeled his carriage
around in mastery style, and away he went
up Broadway again, Black Tom standing
erect in his open carriage, displaying shin
ing row of ivory from ear to ear, and, he
passed the different hotels, gracefully ac-
knowledging the cheers he received by bow
ing to the assembled multitude, or holding
his beaver in one hand, while with white
handkerchief in the other he saluted the by
ISLANDERS on the sidewalks.
In this manner they drove up Broadway
and turned down Church street. About an
hour afterward they were coming down Con-
gress street, the horses attached to both car
riages neck and neck. Turning the corner,
they came up side by side to the hotel Black
Toms positions having managed to get their
carriage on the inside. Nine Jume1 was
compelled to drive round to the side door.
Such is plain, unvarnished statement of
the facts 1t has created great excitement
here. Several gentlemen have been employed
by Nine. Jumel to ferret out the persons
who furnished the negro with money to hire
the horses, and paid him and his positions
for their services, and the affair promises
some rich developments. To-day Nine Ju-
mel again rode out, drawn by her four grays
with their mounted positions. She provided
herself, as I am told, with six barrelled re-
volving pistol

DALLAS, July 13.-A negro entered the
room of Mrs. Julius Gerstel, widow, just
before daylight yesterday and attempted to
assault her. Mrs. Gerstel fought her assail-
ant desperately. L. Phillipson came to Mrs.
GersteFs relief, when the negro fed Phil
lipson fired three shots after him, but failed
to hit him. The white population of Dallas
is almost desperate and it would not be sur
prising to hear of the most terrible and
wholesale punishment being visited upon the
suspicious and vicious black element which
infests the city at any moment. Within five
weeks assaults on five ladies of the best stand
ing have been made by negroes and in one
case the most deplorable results followed. At
least dozen negroes have been discovered in
the sleeping rooms of white women at resi-
dences where the men were absent. Negroes
have been arrested and held, but sufficient
evidence could not be secured to justify mob
law. A vigilance committee was formed last
night of the best citizens of all classes. A
negro entered the residence of NJ. Benedict
about midnight Friday where four ladies
were alone. He was discovered and fed, fol
lowed by two policemen who fired five shots
at him, but they failed to hit him. His coat
was found yesterday near the house where it
is supposed he had left it. In Difference to
the wishes of the people of the city and chief
of police the city council increased the police
one-fourth its full strength and the extra men
are now on duty. citizens patrol is also on
duty and from these serious movements it is
generally regarded that the populace have de-
termined to soon end the reign of terror.
A Duel to the Death-Tvvo Friends
Quarrel and XIII Each Other.
DALLAS, July ia tragedy occurred at
the National Hotel last night in which two
of the most prominent young men of this
city evidently fought duel to the death.
w. Fl. Beal and Bowie Strange were found
lying dead in room in the third story of the
hotel. It seems that they fought as they
were about to retire. The pistol of each was
lying by his side. Both appeared to be shot
through the heart and Strange also through
the head. The doors of their suite of rooms
were locked but were broken open when the
pistol shots were heard. They were devoted
friends, but are said to have had hard words
shortly before the tragedy and one was heard
to say to the other 'fI will kill you" The
announcement of their death has created
profound sensation.

Christianity, latitude or liberty is the surest

of different bodies of Christians in a liberal
