ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN
A Baltimore and Ohio Express LOcomo.
tive Derailed and 0yerfurned.

tiNc DcraueO ana overturned.
Baltimore and Ohio locomotive No. no, at
tached to the New York and Philadelphia ex-
press, which left Camden station, Baltimore, at
$40 pm. yesterday, jumped the track and over
turned at the corner Of Fort avenue and Race
street. Engineman Lawrence A. Selby, the
Baltimore Sun says, was seriously injured and
Fireman John Gallagher was scalded, but no
passengers were hurt While in a curve the
locomotive left the ast-bound track, ran on
the ties for thirty feet, crossed over on the
west-bound track and then fell over on its right
side a vacant lot. The cause of the acct
dent was a heavy chain, which was afterward
found in a frog of the track. Selby and Gal
lagher remained in the cab and were nearly
strangled by escaping steam. Selby was scalded
from his hips down. and Gallagher had his feet
and one hand burned. The engine cab was de-
molished, with the machinery sheltered by it.
The tender broke from the engine and
cars and turned upside down in the
street. The momentum of the train
sent the coaches several rods past the wrecked
locomotive, when they stopped. The roof of
the baggage car was torn by contact with the
tender. The passengers were somewhat fright
ened, but the shock was light The chain which
caused the accident was about two inches thick
and eight feet long. The railroad officials say
that 1t was placed there by malicious persons,
as passenger tram had passed the spot five
minutes before the express. Travel was de-
layed about an hour and a half. The express
was shifted back to Camden station and, after
obtaining another locomotive, went on to New
York

AN EXCITING COON HUNT.

Lively Time In Maryland.
Mayor Grant Of New York city, Mr.. Gallup,
park commissioner, Senator Ives Of the empire
state, Alderman Morgan Of Gotham and DR.. F.
J. Ives, surgeon United States army, were for
three days last week the guests OF the Gabriel
Ducking Club, and enjoyed hunting and fishing
on South river. in Anne Arundel county, Md.
Messrs. John +. and Thomas E. Waggaman Of
this city we're also Of the party.
On Saturday night according to the Balh-
more Sun, Mr.. E. C. Darlington of Baltimore
treated the party to an old-fashioned Maryland
coon hunt With four or five coon dogs, o
couple of lanterns and two colored men the
party sailed forth about 9 pm. The dogs soon
struck a trail and onward rushed the whole
party, each eager to get the first glimpse of the
"varmint" The coon, however, was perverse,
and had no respect for the dignity and high
political standing of his hunters. Over morass.
through briers, down gullies and up steep hill
sides he led his painting purs uers, whose exer-
tions to keep within hearing OF the dogs were
almost superhuman. The chase was kept up
for miles and finally carried the party, along
the bank of the Gunpowder, which at that point
Is about eighteen or twenty feet high and al
most perpendicular.
So anxious was Mayor Grant to see a Mary
land coon that he led the chase, far outstrip-
ping all COmpetltOr5. but Marylanu SOIL WAS
likewise no respecter of New York dignltarles,
and in an unguarded moment the mayor made
a misstep, lost his footing and rolled down the
steep embankment and at length found lodg-
ing place in the chilly water of the Gunpow-
der. With the assistance of his friends he got
safely to shore, but consigned the coon to
those remote and heated regions where Chris
tian people are not supposed to locate. Later,
however, the coon was captured.
Mayor Grant is enthusiastic hunter and
was quite successful. When the party broke
up yesterday Senator Ives came to this city az
the guest of MIR. Waggaman

GOO yards; seven shots at each distance. Each

Judge Miller said that if the facts stated were
true the trial board was the place to hear the

Policeman Grant said that he could get wit
nesses to show the contrary
Judge Miller suspended the case and returned
Matthews collateral to him.
