The saloon deck of the ferryboat was

she was sure it was her brother-in-law,

THREE KILLED.
A Dastardly Attempt to
Wreck a Train Near
PittSburg.

P1TTsBURG. Aug. Is, 1890.-A dastardly
tanning ten car loads of excursionfsts
near here last night. Three deaths have
so far been the result.
The train was the Atlantic express, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. 1t was
filed with excursionists attending the
picnic or the Patriotic Order of Sons of
America and was bound for Atlantic
City.
Engineer Yank Sullivan was at the
throttle and after he got out of Plttsburg
he sent The train humming along toward
Osceoia station. There is a curve in the
road just before Osceola, which is twenty
miles from Pittsburg. Sullivan blew his
whistle and slowed down somewhat to
round the curve. When he started up
again ne saw a big pile of railroad ties
on the track directly ahead of him. Sui
livan threw over his levers and reversed
his engine. But the heavy train behind
him pushed it forward.
Though the brakes had been applied,
the engine dashed straight into the pile
of ties There is an embankment on one
side of tho track. After striking the
obstruction the engine and baggage car
were thrown over the embRnkment and
fell fifty feet.
Engineer Sullivan, Robert Goodwin. a
brother engineer who was riding in the
cab, and q man of the name of Hirsch,
who was stealing ride on the baggage
car. were Instantly killed by having the
engine and the baggage car fall on them.
The passengers were badly frightened
when the brakes were applied, but when
the ties were struck pandemonium
reigned in the cars. Seven OF these were
lifted from the track or thrown on their
sides.
Axes were procured and portions of
the cars cut away SO that the passengers
could be released 1t was at first thought
that fully half the passengers were either
killed or badly injured. A hasty exam :
ination, however, showed that not one
had been injured further than sustaining
few slight bruises or scratches.
The speed of the train was SO great as
to push the obstruction two hundred
yards along the track. Had the cars
gone but few feet further the whole
train would have gone over the embank-
menu.
Sullivan, the engineer, lived at Glen
wood, and leaves widow and six cnil-
dren. Goodwin was going to visit his
family, who live at Connelsville. The
miscreants responsible for the wreck are
unknown. There is not the slightest
doubt but that the ties were deliberately
placed on the track in order to wreck the
Jrain.

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION.
Celebration in the Catholic Churche

Celebration in the Catholic Churches
Today--Ail May Eat Meat.
The Catholic churches throughout the
city were crowded with devote worship
ers today, and high mass was celebrated
in most of them. The occasion was the
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, one of the most glorious
feastS of the Catholic church.
By special dispensation of Pop Leoe
XIII. faithful Catholics are permitted to
eat flesh meat today.
The rule of abstinence from flesh meat
on Friday is rigid one in the Roman
Catholic Church, and it has rarely been
departed from Only once or twice in
very many years has it been granted to
the faithful to depart from this rule, and
the favor is therefore highly regarded.
The permission to eat meat today grew
out of request presented to the Pope in
the beginning of the present year. The
Feast of the Assumption is one of the
most religiously observed of the Catholic
feasts, and as this year fell on Friday. it
was deemed necessary for it's joyful
observance that no restriction consequent
upon the feast falling on Friday should
be permitted.
With this feeling the attention of the
Holy See was called to the occasion, and
its intervention sought and granted. 1t
was promulgated by Cardinal Monaco,
Prefect of the Congregation of the Holy
Office, July 25 and yesterday notices of
the dispensation were read in the Catho-
lie churches of Jersey City, New York
and Brooklyn.

MILITARY SWINDLERS.

Special to the Jersey Citv Netrs
WILLETs POINT. L. l., Aug. 15, $780,
Sergeant Thompson, Corporal Thompson
and Privates Hamilton and Casey, all of
Company B, of the United States Engi-
neer Corps stationed here, are under ar
rest for swindling the Government. The
others believed to be implicated are most
ly men who have received their discharge
from the service.
The fraud was perpetrnted by means Of
false entries and forgeries in the com
pany's account books, which were form
erly kept by Corporal Thompson and
latterly by Private Hamilton. The irreg-
ularities extend over several years, and
the amount out of which the governm ent
has been defrauded will, it is said, reach
81, 900 at least.
The scheme was to reduce the amount
of the supplies of clothing furnished to
each man who would join the conspiracy
by means of false entries in the books,
the result being that at the time of his
discharge there would be a much larger
sum coming to him in the way of pay
than was actually due him.
Another way of swindling the govern
ment was to enter in the books as paid
the fines which were imposed on soldiers
for various misdemeanors. providing the
latter would divide the spoils.
The plot was brought TO light by Pri-
vate Floyd, who was approached by the
conSpirators on the eve of his discharge
and informed by them how he could
make a little extra pile by simply letting
them work the scheme for him and shar-
ing with them the proceeds.
Instead of falling in with the scheme,
as a good many had done. FLOYD reported
the facts to Captain Hoxie, and plan
was arranged by which all four of the
conspirators were caught in the tolls by
means Of marked bills.
