FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT

Eleven Italians Killed by a Collfsfou on the West Shore-How the Acef. dent Occurred.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y., Aug. 6.-The St. Louis express on the West Shore road,
 which leaves here at 1:5S @. m., met with
 terrible accident three miles west of Port Byron this morning near what is known as Duchess cut. The train was running at high rate of speed and at that point ran into freight train.
 The wreck was an awful one, and up to last accounts the deaths number eleven. Those killed outright and those who died from the results of their injuries were all Italians with one exception, the fireman of the passenger train. Eleven Italians were badly hurt and will probably die.
 They were in the smoking car, which was completely wrecked, hardly a whole piece of timber being left of it. The wreck took fire and the passenger train was burned with the exception of three sleeping cars. The train was made up of two express cars, a baggage car, smoking car, day car and four sleeping cars.
 The freight train which caused the acci- a0te SoAioAoe0o oL Aotty CaIS hllU WAS pound for the west. It was to let the tstiyern pass it by drawing over on the Montezuma side track. It had started to leave the main track and was half way upon the switch when coupling broke in the mid dle of the train.
 Realizing that there was no time to lose, Conductor Tobin of the freight train sent Brakeman Connolly up the track with a lantern to check the flyer"
 Whether he did not get far enough up the road, or his signal was not seen is not known. A new coupling had been made and the freight was slowly starting, and in a minute more would have been out of the way, and the disaster would not have oc- cured.
 The relief train started from Syracuse at 4:50 and picked up the dead and the in jured. The dead were deposited in the freight house at Port Byron and the in jured were taken to Syracuse.
 The killed are: Michael Bergin, fireman on passenger train; Alphonse Carilla, Coco Rocco, Thomas Merlino, John Rosie, ve- anzo Dilauri, Dominica Richone, Dominica Sautilo, Antonio Scazzaffava, John Gram brett. An unknown Italian died on the way to Syracuse.

The Ninth Ward Largely Represented
 at the Meeting of the Committee or Railroads and Bridges. A large delegation from the Ninth ward
 was present last evening at the meeting oi the committee on railroads and bridges tc be heard in favor ofthe petition of John F. Moore and others for gates at the Webster street crossing of the New Haven and Northampton railroad. Councilman John F. Moore, the father of the petition, described the crossing as veritable death trap and spoke in graphic language of the danger which exists st present at that crossing where more than 150 school children have to cross and re- cross the tracks on their way to and from school. He said that to his knowledge twenty-two persons had been killed st this spot and he considered it one of the most dangerous crossings in the city, as from the fact that 6 coal yard and a new house had been built, it was impossible to hear approaching trains and thought that some thing should be done about the matter at once.
 Alderman Prince and the following resi- dents of the Ninth ward were present to favor the petition: c. F. Wissert, W. A. McGrath, J. F. Hagerman, William Hine, Lawrence O'Farrell, Thomas O'Brien John Middleburger, James Mckee and Hugh Me Keon.
 But two members of the committee were present and in consequence no action could be taken upon the petition.
 No action was taken upon the pe- tition of H. A. Newton ct al for the ex- tension of the State street, Whitney avenue and Shelton avenue horse railroads to the union depot

JUDGE PICKETT MAY SUE. The Attack of the New Haven New
 He Says is Lfbelous,

The News of yesterday morning devo- ted much space to an attack on Judge Pickett of the city court. It substantially charged the judge with running a court for politics and revenue, and with render ing decisions without regard d to the evi- dence or for the facts in the case.
 When Judge Pickett was seen yesterday he said: ''Since the News assaulted, ridi- uled and made indecent comments on General Merwin, hbeled Commissioner Atwater and shsmefully attacked Judge Studley last week, l thought that my turn would soon come, and that everybody and anybody is likely to be its victim. Peo- pie who deal in garbage are likely to spill it about promiscuous- ly. I have no doubt that the News article this morning is ibelous and con- tempt of court. I have not yet determined whether or not shall do anything about it. The false statements do not hurt me with anyone whose good opinion is worth having. If Simeon E. Baldwin, the reput- ed proprietor of the paper, can afford to go on with this kind of abuse, he is the one receiving the damage, not I. Last night 6 News reporter visited me and was ciyilly treated. The report of the interview this morning was absolutely false and 6 perver- sion of what said I shall continue to run the court and decide cases according to the law and evidence"
 Ex-Governor Henry B. Harrison and State Attorney Doolittle are Judge Pick ett's legal advisers. It is not thought that Judge Pickett will take any action until Governor Harrison returns from his vaca- ton, although MT. Doolittle may bring proceedings.

ESCAPE OF INSANE CONNECTS.

The Keeper at Auburn Overpowered
 and Stabbed-Three Still at Large
 How the Escape Was Effected.
 AUBURN, N. Y., Aug. 6.-Nine insane convicts confined in the state asylum in this city made a daring escape at o'clock this morning by overpowering the attend ants and scaling the low walls of the asy lum. The men were confined in ward six, which at the time was greatly overcrowded. There are four keepers in charge of the ffty-seven patients in this ward and the attempt to escape was made while two of them were at breakfast.
 At prearranged signal number of the cenvicts threw themselves upon the re- | maining attendants, and in the tussel | which followed Keeper Welch was stabbed | and his keys were taken away and he was ! thrown into a cell and the door locked. With the keys in their possession it was an easy matter for the fugitives to open | while the remaining convicts held the other keepers Once in the yard the con- l victs scaled the walls and separated. The alarm was given and in short time all the extra force employed by the asy lum was in hot pursuit. Before 10 o'clock six of the fugitives had been captured within the city limits. In attempting to | stop one ot the runaways, 8 citizen named George Salvage was stabbed in the hand by the same instrument which was used on Welch, the keeper. His captive finally | yielded at the point of a revolver, but the knife or whatever the instrument was | could not be found.
 The three men who are still at liberty are all young, but have attained reputa- ton as desperate characters. Thomas Col | lins was sent to the Elmira reformatory from New York city in 1888 for grand lar ceny in the second degree. He was soon transferred to Clinton prison as incorrigi- ble, and soon after developed symptoms of insanity, which caused his removal to the asylum in this city. Walter Garabrandt came from Rockland county in 1887 on a five years sentence for burglary in the third degree. Albert Dominy is Frank lin county man who was given a maximum
 sentence of twenty years for an unnatural
 crime. Keeper Welch will recover.

the different members from his state to
solicit their votes in favor OF New York
city as the site for the Worlds fair; that
while riding with Mr.. Enloe in a carriage
visiting said congressman, Mr.. Enloe told
him in the presence of a Republican dele
gate from this city, who will verify what
he states, that Mr.. Thomas C. Platt had
offered him (Mr. Enloe) through Mr..
Thomas, $1,000 for his vote and to use his in
fiuence with his colleagues from Tennessee
to vote against New York. Mr.. Platt knew
that Mr.. Enloe at that time had a note due
for that amount of money and that he did
not have the money to pay it, and Mr.. En-
loe felt outraged and indignant that Mr..
Platt should take advantage Of the oppor-
tuniiy Of attempting to bride him. Depo-
nent was present when congress voted on
the question of the site for the Worlds fair,
and MIR. Enloe voted for New York city.
