Fall of an Express Train.

PoRT JERvIs, N. Y, Aug. 13.-An east
bound freight on the Erie Railroad
when quarter of mile west of Shoho-
la at about l O'Clock this morning, struck
lot of rocks which had been washed
down on the track and the locomotive
and four cars were wrecked. Engineer
NJ: Fritz received bad scalp wound,
Fireman 0. Hogan sustained scalp
woiind and had both arms broken, and
Conductor Fred. Long was injured about
the back.
Express train No. 3, west-bound, was
due at ths time of the accident, and the
forward brakemen got lamp from q
switch and tried to flag it, but failed and
the express engine crashed into the
wreck. One car loaded with horses, a
baggage car, mail car, smoker and one
day coach, were thrown from the track
and down an embankmeht eighty feet
from the rails The cars canght fire and
we're burned, but not Until all the pass-
engers were saved.
Alexander Newman, the fireman of
the express engine, was caught fast in
the wreck and burned He said to a
by-stander: 'Tell my wife | am fast
and cannot get out" Soon after 4 re-
port like a pistol shot was heard and it
WAS rumored that Newman had shot
himself to escape being burned to
death. Others say he had no pistol.
Following is a complete list of the
casualties: John Kinsilla, engineer,
scalded, 1t is feared, fatally; Alexander
Newman, fireman, burned; John GAM
mon, baggageinan, badly cut; James
Monahaf1, telegraph repairer, seriously
cut about the head; A. L. Boynton and
j. L. Brown, mail clerks, both slightly
injured; T, Gublin, brakeman, leg
brokefi; Thomas Decker, plumber,
internally injured, pro badly fatally. A
number ofipassengers received slight
injuries but it is believed that none are
serious.
OF fourteen running horses in the car
but two escaped, the others were
burned. All of the injured passengers
tells and private houses. Four physi~
clans from Port Jervis and two from
Shohola were promptly sent to their re-
lief.
The fourteen horses were mainly the
property of Freddy Gebhardt. Among
those lost were Eole, Eolist, Min
eral Blanka, Certainty, Pauline,
Frank, Orphan Boy and a 2-year-
old filly. Scandinavian, owned
by Nat Storms, of California,
was killed and two of Mrs. Langtry' IS
black tandem horses. One saved was
st. Savior and 2-year-old filly. About
a dozen of the worst injured were
brought to Port Jervis at noon to-day.
Mat Storms; the owner of the Scandis
navian, was in, the ear with. the horses
and will probably die of his injuries.

The Hatfield Mccoy Feud Results in
More BIoodshed,

CATLErTsBURa, KY, Aug. 14.-There is
trouble again in Pike County between
the Hatfelds and McCoys. Frank
Phillips, the sheriff of Pike County, who
made the former arrests, seems to be
the coveting prize of the West Virgini-
ans. The trials for the Hattieds were
set for yesterday at Pikeville Last
week Phillips was out through the coun-
try securing witnesses, etc, and when
in the neighborhood of Beten he was
approached by three men who de-
manded bis surrender. Phillips replied
by whipping out his revolver and open
ing fire on the trio. No one was hurt in
the melee. The next day they returned
with nine recruits in search Of Phillips
and his bodyguard, but were again re-
pulsed. Shortly afterward there was a
skirmish between the Hatfelds and
McCoys, the latter being forty-five
strong and lying in wait for their enc
mics. Three of the Hatfields were
killed and two wounded, while three of
the McCoys were slightly wounded.

FRENCH POLITICS.
The Shotgun Policy Adopted Against
Gen. Boulanger.

While Gen. Boulanger was driving in
an open carriage at Saint Jean D'Angely
on the 18th, Prof. Perrin, of the Lyoee,
fired five shots at him from a revolver.
81. Ratapan, friend Of the general,
rushed forward and managed to turn
the weapon aside. The result WAS that
Ratapan himself received bullet in
the back of the head, but the wound is
not serious. Two peasants were also
wounded. Gen. Boulanger was not
touched. Prof. Perrin is a friend oi
Mayor Lair, the candidate nominated
by the Opportunists in opposition to
Boulanger. The affair occurred at the
height of a pitched battle between the
rival political parties, when, the gen
ceived blow on the head from a stick
and other Boulangerists were roughly
handled. 1t is not certain that Perrin
intended to aim at Boulanger.
