sewing, little Harry, aged six, was
in the yard with Mrs. Vaught's two
little boys cracking scme nuts, when
Jack Wharton, boy about Is years
old, came along with an old 22-1OO
calibre pistol with two loads in it.
He having snapped it several times
and it failed to 60 off, he said to lit
tie Harry, 'Look out, I am going to
shoot you" and pulled the trigger.
Little Harry looking up, the ball
penetrated the skull about two
inches above the right eye, and
ranged backward. The mother hear

DOWN A STEEP GRADE TODEATH
Wreckins OF the Excursion Train in
lrcland-74 Killed.

Dublin, June 13.-By the wreck
ing OF the excursion train near Arm
agh yesterday, seventy-four persons
were killed. and a hundred more in
jured.
The excursion party occupied two
trains. The first train ascended a
heavy grade safely, but the second
was found to be too heavily loaded
to ascend and several cars were un-
coupled and stones placed behind
the wheels to prevent them from
running down. When the train start
ed the stones were Jared out of
place and the detached cars started
down the grade. The passengers
tried to escape but the doors were
locked. When four miles had been
covered the cars had attained fear
full velocity. Before reaching the
end of the grade they crashed into
the regular train following the excur-
sion trains. All the wild cars were
splintered into bits. None of those
on the passenger train were injured.
A car driver named Hughes who
visited the scene of the disaster was
so Mortified at the sight that he died
on the spot. His corpse was taken
to Armagh in his own cart.
The engineer, fireman and guard
, of the train and traffic manager e
clerk were summoned before mag
istrate and were remanded on the
; charge of being responsible for the
< accident.
Many anxious friends are making
y inquiries for missing children at the
, infrmary to which the injured were
taken. Crowds surround the build
