Excursisn Train Wrecked.

tonight was the scene of a terrible
wreck, in which one thousand ex-
cers,onists from this city miracul-
ouslyiescaped with injuries, SO far
as known, while it is thought half
q dozen or more persons are under
the wreck dead.
Employees of theAultman & Co.

mic at cuyhoga Fails today, and over
two thousand went on the excursion.
made up of two trains of fifteen
cars each. The first section ar
rived at Canton at z 20 p. M, and
while one hundred fathers, brothers
and sisters were at the station wait
ing for friends and relatives on the
second section u hatless messenger
came running down the track cry
ing that the train had been wrecked
and many KILLED and injured.
The scene which followed was of
the widest description, and when
the wreck was reached, men, wo-
men and children ran around wiring
ing their hands and looking for
their loved ones. Nine cars we're of
the track and in water four fee,
deep. The cries of the injuaed were
heart-rending. Hundreds of will.
ing hands Immediately set to work
and soon found that not more than
twenty five were injured, but i,
was impossible to say how many or
who was killed. About dozen or
more are missing, and may be un-
der the ears, and nothing definite
can be known until the wrecking
train arrives, which is now on its
way to the scene.
The engineer says the wreck was
caused by the track spreading. The
engine went over all right. but the
first car jumped the track and eight
others. The train ran along the side
of the track for two hundred feet,
throwing the occupants from one
side to the other, and finally jumped
a small. ..embankment and landed in
three feet of water. The doors were
cut open and the people got out.
Three doctors are on the ground at
tending to the wounded, several
of whom they say will probably
die.

we left off last week.
In parenthesis, we regret t.
discover that the Republican
Gazette is asleep en- this question
and we are compelled to furnish

On Monday Of last week, Mr.
Pursell sent on to Washington
his Bond. His bond is 5000
His bendsmen made affidavit to
a valuation of $4,000.
The Bend was not entrusted te
the mails, but was sent by ex.
press.
On Saturday of last week q
number of copies of the Ports
mouth Times were received here,
in which paper it was charged
that Pursell was a Deserter from
the Army, and inviting the at
tention especially of Col. Weldy
to this fact.
Col. Weldy went to Columbus
and procured the following GER
tificate from the Adjutant Gen
