Fined s25 for Violation Of the SUNDAY
Ordinance.

Mr. Joseph II. Beckman, proprietor
Of the saloon at 30e east Broad street,
was before Police-J ustice Richardson
Yesterday morning to answer the charge
Of having mis- place open on Sunday.
After the examination of seyerai
witnesses Justice Richardson found
Beckman guilty and fined him twenty
five dollars.
After the evidence for the prosecu-
ton had been heard Mr.. Beckman in
troduced several witnesses, who testi-
fed that they we're invited by him to
90 with him to his house, and they
went there and drank two glasses Of
beer each. No money was paid for
the beer, as they were the guests Of
Mr. Beckman.
Mr.. Beckman was sworn. lie ad-
mitted that he invited the gentlemen 20
his house last Sunday evening, and they
drank together.
In answer to questions by the Police
Justice Mr.. Beckman said his friends
were seated IL the pool-roOm, which Is
separated from the bar by a latticed
partition that he got the beer from q
keg IN his bar-rOom and carried 1t into
the pool-room. where it was drunk.
Mr.. Alex. Il. Gnigon, who appeared
as counsel for Beckman. took the
ground that Beckman did not sell the
liquor, but only took his friends to his
house 10 have q social drink. He held
that Beckman had as much right to en-

The Police-Justice read the city ordi-

IBy telegraph TO the p,smssh.l J

GREENFIELD, MASS, April "A
terrible disaster occurred on the Fitca-
burg railroad tonight midway between
Bardwell's Ferry and West DssrEsid
station, the cast-bound passenger train
from North Adams due at Grssniisld
at COS p. NJ. gong over an smbsnk-
ment 200 feet IN height. Six bodies
have already been taken out Of The
ruins, and 1t is not known how many
others have been killed. The train
consisted OF a bsggage-car, smoker,
sleeping-car, mail-car, and two ordinary
passenger-cars. The point whore the
calamity occurred rs the most dan
gerous on the road. The tracks
run on the edge Of IN sm-
bankment two hundred feet above
Deerfield river. The bank Is steep and
covered with huge boulders and masses
OF small rock, with which the road-bsd
had been FLIED. When the train ar
rived at this point the track commenced
to settle under Il for distance cover
ing its entire length. The coaches broke
from their trucks and went rolling over
and over down the precipice. The en-
CINE broke from the tender, tearing
up the track for twenty feet.
Below rolled the Deertield river, on tho
very edge of which thecars were thrown.
AS soon as they struck they caught
fire from the stoves. The shrieks Of
the wounded and dying filled the ar,
and for time the scene was terrible.
The sleeping-car was IN entire wreck.
1t was occupied by several passengers,
not one OF whom at this hour is known
TO have escaped injury.
As soon as the news reached Green
field special train was made up and
sent to the scene Of the disaster, having
on board several physicians and section
men and few citizens. On arriving ut
the scene of the wreck horrible sight
was witnessed. The darkness of night
had settled over the spot. Far
down on the river-bank could be
seen smouldering embers of TIE wreck.
StOut-ucAItcu tItiuuich Ntit ioNNfc0
cautiously down the treacherous height
and the work Of rescue began. In the
excitement there is much repetition OF
detail and exaggeratlon in the stories Of
those who have visited the wreck and
the passengers rescued. Nineteen In
lured persons have been taken to Shell
burne Falls. and the number Of persons
known to be dead is variously stated
from SIX to thirteen. Half dozen OF
the injured will probably die.
Among the fatally injured is Merritt
seely, superintendent of the Eational
Express Company at Boston, and Engi-
neer Littlejohn Of the wrecked train. A
brother of Littlejohn was On the tram
with his wife and child. Littlejohn was
seriously hurt and his wife and child
killed. a number of persons are miss
ing, some Of whom may yet turn up.
