srRuOK BY AN ENGINE.

A Street Car Demolished and SIX Pas- sensers Killed-The Victims Horr1- ply MansIed-The Driver Escapes by JumpIAg-A Careless Custom Ac- counrabIe for the Accident.
 KALAMAZOO, Mich, May S.-A street car containing seven ladies and two gentlemen was crossing the Michigan Central track at West Main street this evening when 8 switch engine crashed down upon it from the east at high rate of speed and killed six persons. The street car was carried almost to Academy street, the pieces flying in all directions and the human freight being mangled in frightful manner. These were in the car: Mrs. Alexander Haddock, Mrs. K. E. WatIes, Miss Gertrude Tillotson, Mrs. George Smiley, Mrs. Middleton, Mrs. Van Antwerp, Mrs. s. A. Gibson, Mrs. Jonathan Barnes, MT. L. 8. Lull, Dr. Sutton.
 The first six persons were killed, two be- ing found dead in the cattle-guard, one in the creek near by, two on the track and Mrs. Middleton died an hour later. She was thrown in the roadway. Mrs. Gibson was injured in the head and side and Mrs. Barnes was bruised badly.
 The male passengers were unhurt. The driver of the car escaped by jumping. The gates at the crossing where the accident oc- cured are not used between 5:30 and 6:30 p. m., the gate keeper going home at that time.
 This custom probably deceived the driver of the street car, who was a new man and probably supposed that the gates would of course be down if an engine were coming.

The city of springaeId Wrecked.

NEW YORK, May s.-The steamer City of Springfield, from Hartford to New York, ran on the reefs west of Execution rock at 4:30 a. m. to day during dense fog. Her fifty passengers were transferred to the steamer Naugatuck and taken to New York after an unsuccessful attempt to float her. Her cargo is being discharged into scows and sent to New York. The Merritt wrecking boats and number of scows are alongside. The steamer is aground about amidships and her bows and stern have settled considerably, parting the joiner work and hog-frame. An other attempt was made to haul the steamer off st high water this afternoon by the wrecking steamer D. T. Merritt and tug NJ. R. Rrazos, but she could not be moved. She is leaking badly, and the wrecking com pany have put two powerful steam pumps on board and expect to light her sufficiently to haul her off tomorrow, though it looks doubtful whether she can be saved.

 COLORADO SPRINGS, May S.-While Post- master Frank Costello of Florisss, the town storekeepsr at that place. with his two clerks was preparing to close the postofice Monday night three men heavily armed entered and demanded money. One of the clerks began to argue the question and was clubbed into silence. The postmaster, finding himself at their mercy, handed over $400. The thieves covered the two men with their Winchesters and coolly backed out of the door and escap- ed. They were overhauled later on and 8 lively fight ensued. Wm. Brady, one of the pursuers, was shot and probably fatally wounded. The robbers succeeded in gaining the mountains and disappeared from sight. Early yesterday morning a sheriff and posse again went in quest of the thieves. They were discovered lodged behind barricade of rocks and after terrible fight lasting half hour one of the robbers was killed and an- other wounded. The other still remains be- hind the barricade and all efforts to dislodge him have failed thus far. The attacking party had three horses killed but none of the men composing it were hurt. although the bullets fell like hail. It is believed that the remaining robber will be killed or captured to-dav

 NEW YORK, May S.-The Inman line steamer City of Paris, which arrived this morning from Liverpool, made the quickest passage on record, her mean time from Queenstown to Sandy Hook lightship being five days, twenty three hours, seven minutes. Had not the vessel been delayed by fog on the last day she would have reached her des- tination three hours earlier. On the 5th, 9th and Eth insts. the steamer logged 504, 505 and 511 knots respectively, 8 rate of speed unprecedented in the history of ocean travel. Her mean speed during the voyage was, as near as possible, 231z knots. Under more favorable circumstances the City of Paris will doubtless still further reduce the time of passage. The passengers of the steamer, among whom was David Dudley Field passed resolutions complimenting Captain Watkins and his officers on their feat.

HARTFORD, May 8.-A model yacht club has recently been formed in Hartford, com posed of professional gentlemen of Hartford, New Britain and other places.

There is a fleet of probably eigh- teen boats, varying from 30 inches water line to A inches.
 There is to be meet of the club at Wins. ted on the 1eth and 11th o1 this month, where probably eight or ten boats will con- test. They are handled from rowboats, and some of them carrying as much as twenty square feet of canvas. A number of races have previously been held at Hartford, New Britain and Kensington.
 The club consists of about fifteen mem- bers, and fig entitled the Connecticut Model Yacht Club" Few people have any idea of the perfection to which these boats are brought in sailing over given course, many ot the boats being rigged with self justing rudders.
