about to their liking. The sheriff and
prosecuting officers of st. Johnsbury
were telegraphed for and went to the
scene, but no arrests were made, the gang

manoeuvering.
John Gunshannon of Bennington was
beaten to death in his front yard at
o'clock Monday morning and before the
eyes of his family. 1t was the fatal end
of nights carousal. John Keenan, and
James Gunshannon, nephews of the vic
tim, had been drinking all night with
James Condor and George CAMS and
came to Gunshannon's to get more liquor.
They were refused admittance and imme-
diately began to smash the window panes
with stones. Gunshannon finally recog-
nized his nephew and came out and
caught him; the other nephew, Keenan,,
rushed to his cousins rescue and struck
his uncle several times over the head with
an iron-bound crutch. Finally one blow
struck on the temple and killed the man
instantly. The four fled, but within an
hour were arrested and locked up. Three
of the participants made strange COM
bination; one man was minus leg, an
other an arm and the third an eve. Gun
shannon was carpenter by trade, but had
the reputation of selling liquor He
leaves a widow and nine children. A
post-mortem examination was held Mon
day by the six principal physicians of

the crutch caused death has been proved
beyond question.
Testimony was recently heard at Hart
ford on the railroad disaster in the spring
of 1887. before Edward Dana of Rutland,
with parties representing both defendants
and plaintiffs present. No less than nine
different suits are pending against the
Central Vermont railroad for death los
ses. personal injuries and loss of property
in the accident. The hearing brought
| out several interesting unimportant facts.
, The witnesses called were Robert Fletch-
er. professor of civil engineering in the
Thayer school at Dartmouth college ::
Henry Leighton, farmer, who lives near
the scene of the disaster; Miss Persis
[ Follett of Sharon, one of the plaintiffs /;
| Louis Benjamin of Hartford, a section
: master on the Central road; A. E. Wat
son. clerk of the railroad commission, and
, w. II. Tucker The testimony of the
plaintiffs was the most important yet
taken in their behalf. 1t tends to show
that the speed of the train was at high
rate even for an express it is claimed by
the defendants to have been eight miles
an hour over the bridge. Mr.. Benjamin
stated that the rails, including those
broken and torn up on the curves on
which the train was derailed, were laid
=. down but seven months previous to the
disaster, and had been previously in use
elsewhere. They were badly worn and
unfit TO be used: some of them had been
- previously used in a curve of track, and
before they were relaid at the point
named they were re-curved in reverse
i direction while cold, which would tend to
Il materially weaken them.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Jan 1.-THE box
received yesterday by Judge Woods CT
the Federal District Court proved en-
careful examination to be 81 Internal ms
line. II was examined sufficiently LAST
night to reveal the presence of cartridges
and this morning the examination WAS
continued by carefully cutting off the top
of the box and lsying bare it's contents
The box was shaped somewhat Ike 6
slate pencil box and substantially made
OF ash. II one end two gun cartridges
filed with powder snd shot( the cartridges
beng marked L. S. NJ. Co., eli
msx l0), were carefully slowed with
the lid of the box cug away to &C
commodate their rounded surface. Each
cartridge WAS also cut so as to expose
the powder and make ignition certainty.
Over and around these cartridges powder
was plentifully bespriRled, and resting
against the shorter cartridge and so
folded as to present an inclined surface
WAS piece Of sGndpaper. Through thelid
Of the box were slid into place three broken
matches with ends which had been dipped
Rto fulm natin powder. Tie VITO e was
wrapped in what seemed TO be an
ordinary official envelope taken
from the County Clerks CT
Zee with the printed inscription
on the same scratched eff. There was
sufficient powder in the box to have
blinded the Judge in case Of sn ex-
plosion no matter whether the shot took
effect or not. Waen the nature OF it's
contents became known to the police it
created no little surprise and while there
is apparently no cleY as to the sender,
still, the 0 Ulcers think, one can be Sc
cured aai Will work up the case. So far
as known the box came u the postoffice

handled the same.
