DOVER, N. a., June 27.-An express
train on the B oston& Maine railroad
ran into an open switch while coming
into this city tonight, and the engine

embankment. The engineer ard fire.
man jumped and escaped without
serious injury. The train was running
at high rate of speed, having been
delayed at North Berwick for Crescent

badly shaken up, and Oscar F. Kimball,
grand chancellor of the knights of New
Hampshire; William Hilliard and Fred
Weeks, all of Dover, were injured.
Kimball and Weeks were hurt in the
head and back, and Hilliard internally.
The injured are: James Bradford, Of

LA CROSSE, June 27.-A terrible crime

daughters. eighteen and twenty years

cannot possibly live, and the priest
is with her awaiting the end.
An attempt was made to enter another
house in the vicinity, and woman saw

some one was up in the house. She
could only say he was white man, and

WAUPACA, Wis, June %.-Interest
in the Curran trial is increasing as the
case progresses. The court room was
crowded all day. The prosecution
closed it's case this forenoon. Judge
Cate, for the defense made very elab-
crate address to the jury, going over the
testimony given by the state witnesses
and giving in detail what the defense
would show. How the hatred of Hazel
tine for Curran first appeared. The
threats he made, his attempts to get
shot at John and the manner of begin
ming the conflict which ended n Hazel
tine getting shot. Then began the ex-
animation of witnesses. John D. Cur
ran, the principal defendant, was the
third witness called. He testified to his
friendship for Hazeltine until Hazel
tine was acquitted of the killing of
first heard of Hazeltlne'S hatred through
mutual friends, whom Hazeltine
had told that there was no room
on this earth for both the
men. He heard them so often
and Hazletine had tried to get at him so
many times that he finally left Stevens
Point, and went to Waverly, 10. He
lived there and at st. Paul until Henry
Curran became insane, and took care of
him until his recovery. He never went
out of the house unless with somebody.
Was coming from a closet alone, when
Hazletine fired twice. Witness lodged
down, pulling a gun from his pocket
and fired twice. Hazletine shot once
more, but on account of the smoke he
couldn't see him. Afterwards he saw
Hazletine lying on the sidewalk. Henry
Curran didn't know witness was out Of
the house.

A TALE OF WOE.
An Organization of Slippery
Tongued Rascals.

So much for the history of the par
ticular charge iD question. Now for a
bit of proof of the general work of this
Infamous band. To say that 300 per-
sons in st. Paul alone would rise up in
concerted prosecution of the thieves IS
putting it lighter than vigorous search
would bear. The victims are fast COM
ing to the front. and each hour can be
heard the sad tale of some ignorant
dupe who has Succumbed to the Subter-
seems that they reared their OrganiZa-
ton for wholesale theft with the most
calloused beats and slippery-tongued
rascals that the human dumping ground
could grow. 1t is an interesting study
to a close observer to note how fortified
the gang made itself. 1t had a dozen
men or more, all of whom were notaries
and could acknowledge each others for
gerieS. They had several shySte'r law
yers who will soon board at Mr.. Beams
hotel: they had real estate men who
held themselves out as strangers and
disinterested parties to the victims di-
rected to them for advice; they had
hustlers who constantly watched for
teams with sale signs on them, and fol-
lowing these up, a trade was struck of
almost any shade of black villainy;
they had among them several women,
who took this worthless Bald Eagle and
South Duluth and aerial property in
their names, ETC., and lastly they had a
brace of sharp, skillful forgers, through
whose Jim-the-Penman act, the people
were fleeced, from the poor ignorant
owner of trowel to the largest corpora
tions of our city. In
THE RYAN HOTEL
alone, and among its attaches, it is by
some of such acknowledged that
Thaden, Tall and other members of the
gang, successfully done up as many as
twenty victims, the sum total
of the steal aggregating considerable.
On Sept. 1s, 1883, William Bergen, the
proprietor Of a cigar store and billiard
room. was swindled out Of his business
by August G. Esklund, the Swede, for
whom the police are now looking. This
deal was effected in the usual form.
Esklund, or any other member of the
gang for that matter, would approach a
susceptible individual and offer to ne
gotiate the sale or trade of his business.
If the owner Of such property or bust
ness lent willing ear to propositions.
the s.gang's' representative always had
enough to offer. A mortgage upon
noll-existing real estate. made by
one conspirator to another, was
the usual consideration offered.
Very often forged notes and
deeds for really valuable property
were given for the unsuSpecting trad
er's property which was sold as soon as
the gang got it's hand on it. Mr.. Ber-

CHARLESTON, S. c., June 27.-In the
Mellow case to-day DR.. r. A. KinlOch,
for forty years physician and surgeon
and at present dean of the medical COL
lege of South Carolina. took the stand
to prove the course of the ball that
killed Cap Dawson. His testimony
corrOborated the views of DIR. Nc
Michael that the ball had been fired
from behind, and is confrmatory of the
general opinion that Mellow shot Capt.
Dawson when his back was turned and
when he was leaving McDow's Office.
Detective John Hogan testified that on
the night of the murder, when the ac-
cused was going to Jail with manacled
hands. DIR. Mellow said: II shot him,
and l would shoot any man who caned
me; know where to shoot
me that" This evidence is con-
sidered important in view of the
statement made by Mellow yesterday
that he did not take aim when Re fired
on Dawson, and would have preferred
to disable rather than kill him. Solici-
tor Jervey requested that the jury be
sent to McDOW's Office for the purpose
Of obtaining a clear idea of the scene
of the murder, but McDow's counsel
objected on the ground that the jury
might be unduly Influenced by persons
who had no proper connection with the
case. Judge Kershaw sustained the OBJ
lection. Solicitor Jervey then announced
the case closed and requested the judge
to charge the jury on certain questions
OF law. He then proceeded to address
the jury. and made good impression.
The audience applauded when he de-
to Capt. Dawson's house when he was
absent. Mr.. Jervey spoke for two
hours. Judge Magrath and Mr.. Cohen
will speak for the defense tomorrow,
and argument will be closed by Maj.
Julian Mitchell for the prosecution.
Judge Kershaw will then charge, after
which the case will go to the jury.
