Carbon, oct. 7-lSpdrial. About
1880 o'clock last night mob of thirty
or forty men went to the house Of an old
man named Hays, living sixteen miles
south OfCarbOn, near Sipe Springs, and
after firing several Shots into the house,
jim Hays, Il son Of the old man, ran out,
and as he turned the corner, was shot
under the left eye, the bail passing
through his head, killing him I'M
stantly. A son-in-law Of tho old
man named Dunlap, ran out
and was fired at several times, but good
luck favored him. He was struck only
once. The ball struck him in the elbow
of tho left arm and came out near the
wrist. lie will probably lose his arm.
Tho people in that vicinity are very
indign INT at such cowardly act, and
as two of the mob have been identified
il will probably go pretty hard with
them,

throng, and numbers went away disap

worth and wealth Of the city of Austin.
A hundred ladies were present, attracted
by the growing fame of OLIN WELLBoRN
as speaker of uncommon power. Nor
we're they disappointed. There was
only one opinion about tit was q
glorious success. The great crowd hung
entranced on his utterances, and as his
sonorous sentences rang through the
chamber, climax on climax, they gave
vent to their appreciation OF the man
and the principles he enunciated by re
peated demonstrations of tho most real
and intense enthusiasm"

Railroad Accident.

Passenger Train on the Canal Railr0aG-
 Several Passengers Injured.
 The passenger train on the New Haven and Northampton railroad, which left New Haven at 7:15 o'clock yesterday morning, and was due at Westfield at 92O a. m., met with serious accident at place called Copper hill, just below Southwick. Three cars and the tender went off, falling on their sides down an embankment. The en- zine remained on the track. The cars were badly smashed and the baggage and express car took fire and with the contents were partly burned before the flames were extin- euished Express Messenger P H. Ryan, of Westfeld, had his left leg broken. He was brought home by team. Conductor W. L. Thomas, of 13o George street, this city, had his back hurt seriously. One passenger named Bradley was seriously hurt and several others were slightly injured. Bag gage Master Frank Woods had his shoulder dislocated. Express Messenger Ryan had one of his legs broken in three places. The superintendent of the road, s. B. Opdyke, ir,, was on the train, but escaped injury. The parties hurt were taken care of by the neighbors. The telegraph lines were broken and the road was badly torn up, but trains were able to pass by noon.
 Conductor Thomas arrived here at 2:3O p. m. He was apparently suffering severely from his bruises. Dr. B. l.. R. Thomson met him at the depot, and together with an other friend assisted him to his home. The damage to the train is about $1, 900. The cause CE the accident is said to be that the train was going too swiftly around the curves near the old New-gate prison.
