An Unknown Mlscreant Wrecks an Excur
sion Tram Near Pittsburgh Several Per
sons Killed.
PITrsBUKGH. Pa, Aug. TO- AN at
tempt was made last night to wreck an
Atlantic City excursion train on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad twenty miles
from this city, whore the road runs
Nlong the Youghiogheny river, thirty
feet above the water The result was
the almost total demolition OF the en-.
gine and the death OF two engineers and
tramp. The passengers escaped with
slight cuts and bruisas The killed
were:
Yankee Sullivan, OF Pittsburgh, one
OF the oldest engineers on the road.
Daniel Goodwin, engineer Of the east
ern division, who was riding in the cab.
Unknown man, supposed TO be a
tramp riding between the tender and
baggage car.
Fireman King was painfully but not
dangerously injured.
The train, which consisted OF six
sleepers and baggage car, was crowd
ed with excursionists bound for the sea-
shore. 1t was late in getting away from
the city, and was proceeding at rapid
pace TO make up lost time. Near Os-
ceola station, an obstruction was en-
countered. There was a terrific crash,
and the engine was thrown over the
embankment The cars ran along on
the rails for fifty feet and then fell over
on the west-bound tracks, towards tho
hillside.
The engine was completely wrecked.
Sullivan, Goodwin and the tramp were
crushed beneath the timbers and were
killed almost instantly King, the fire.
man, was thrown into tree thirty feet
away.
The sleepers were not badly dam
aged. The passengers were badly
frightened.
-Four ties had been placed securely
between and on the rails. The work OF
the wreckers was frustrated by the cars
falling on the west-bound track. II
they had followed the engine and gone
over the embankment into the river,
the loss of life would have been fright
full.
The most plausible theory advanced
as TO the motive Of the wreckers is that
they intended to wreck high class
freight train which usually precedes
the Pacific express Last night how.
ever, the first section of the express
train was sent out ahead of the freight
train.

fifteen years, on tho hip and he is now
in the hospital, but will recover
Hatton had no time to fire another
shot The crowd surged around him
and before the police could interfere
his clothes we're torn of his hack and he
was struck with fists and clubs and pre-

from the angry crowd by the police, who
were obliged TO draw their revolvers TO
stem the crowding mass Of people. One
policeman had his coat torn of in the
fight
