Italian Troops Massacred.

An official despatch received from Mas
sowah, Africa, contains the following
startling intelligence: Three hundred and fifty
artillery troops, under the command of Italian
officers. have been destroyed by Abyssin-
ians. The killed included all the officers.
An attack was being made by the auxiliaries
upon Saganeti. The catastrophe was due to
treachery on the part of native allies, who
Joined the enemy during the fighting
The Abysinian Chief Debeb had assembled a
force of 40 men, with the intention of raid
ing the Arkiko District. The Italian com
mander of Massowah hearing of the intended
raid, sent five hundred Bashi- BaZouks under
the command of five Italian officers to try to
surprise Debeb's force. On the road the
officers enlisted the services of two hundred
members of the Assaortin tribe. Saganeti
was reached and it was found that
Debeb had been warned of their approach
and had intrenched his position An attack
was made by the Italian force, however,
and they succeeded in carrying the village.
But during the assault the Assaortins proved
treacherous, and made an attack on the
Italian rear. The Bashi Bazouks became
panic stricken, and were massacred while
endeavOTing to fly.

A Disastrous Wreck on the Erie
Railroad.

A very bad wreck occurred to the Erie
Chicago express about one mile west OF
Shohola, n Y, at forty minutes past l
o'clock Monday morning. a fast freight
train was bowling along westward
at the rate of twenty-five miles hour
through a pouring rain and almost lmpene-
trable darkness. Suddenly the engineer DIS
covered, close ahead, pile of rocks on the
track, washed down the mountain side by
the heavy rains. 1t was too late to
stop the train, the next instant
the engine crashed into the land slide
and was at once thrown from the
track, the freight cars piling in upon each
other in every direction. The shock OF the
collision extinguished the lights on the train,
and the fast express crashed into the rear OF
the wrecked freight: second afterward the
engine of the express turned to the right anu
plunged down the steep embankment, drag
ging five cars after it.
The plunge was a fearful one, and in a mo-
ment everything was in darkness, and out OF
which came the cries and groans of the i'm
prisoned and badly injured passengers and
trainmen-
One day coach and the palace coaches
stayed on the track, and the passengers were
saved the terrible plunge into the abyss, a
distance of eighty feet.
All the passengers, together with the unln-
jured trainmen, hurried to the assistance OF
their less fortunate fellow travellers and were
soon hard at work relieving the imprisoned
men, women and children. Fire was next
discovered in one of the coaches, but 1t was
soon extinguished
John Klnsila, engineer, and Alexander
Newman fireman, went down the bank with
their engine. Kins;la seriously hurt,
while the unfortunate fireman was caught
under the tank and held fast there until the
flames consumed his body to blackened and
shapeless mass.
; Sixty passengers in all took the plunge, forty
one of whom were more or less injured. The
express contained sixteen racing, saddle,
and driving horses on their way to Califor-
MIA, belonging to Mrs. Lily Langtry, the act
Ably and four assistants and also the filly
Scandinavia, in charge of its owner, NJ. d.
Storms, prominent California horse trainer.
Two of the horses were rescued the others
were burned. The horses burned included
Eole, Eolist, Palanca, Orphan Boy, Certainty,
and Mrs. Langtry's favorite saddle horse,
and their value is estimated at not less than
5000 900.

MAXWELL HANGED.
The EnSlishman Who Murdered His
Friend Expiates the Crime.

Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell has been
hanged at ST. Louis, No, for the murder of
Charles A Preller The procession TO the
gallows started at o'clock from the doomed
mans cell. 1t took but moment to ascend
the steps to the scaffold, and only about
two minutes elapsed between the mounting
and springing of the trap Maxwell died
hard, but in few seconds the commissions
ceased, only to be followed by a stream OF
blood which flowed from beneath the black
cap over the shirt and coat. 1t came from
his neck, which had been deeply cut by the
rope.
The crime for which Maxwell finally suf
fered death was of peculiar atrocIty.
Maxwell met his victim. Preller, young
solicitor of Cheshire England, on the steamer
Cephalonia. in February, 1880, and when
they separated at New York the two men
agreed to meet again at st. Louis On the
Sd of April the men met at the Southern
Hotel and occupied the same room They
appeared together in friendly intercourse for
three days, when Preller diSappe AIRED. On
the following day Maxwell bought a ticket
for San Francisco and had all his baggage
checked to that city except one trunk, &C
counting in the meantime for the absence OF
his friend by saying that he had gone into
the country on business.
Nine days later a horrible odor attracted
attention to the trunk left by Maxwell, and
upon investigation the rapidly decomposlng
body of Preller was found inside of it.
Maxwell was tracked to San Francisco and
from there to Auckland, New Zealand, and
sent back to St Louis. On June the jury
returned verdict finding him guilty OF muir
in the first degree.
Maxwells defense was that he attempted
to doctor Preller and gave him an overdose
of chloroform, which resulted in death. Then
in fear and distraction he placed the body IN
the trunk, took some 5000 Of PrellerS money
and fed the country.
