INTO A DITCH.
Another FrightfuI Railway Accident Up
in Ohio--Two Passenger Coaches
Leave the Rails

| BELLARIE, ONO. July 3l.-AnOther hOr-
| ror has been added to the long list of rail
road accidents in Ohio. At about l o'clock
| this morning passenger train No. l on the
| Bellaire, GAINESVILLE ana Cincinnati Narrow
| Gauge railroad left the track three miles
south Of Bellaire, two cars being overturned
| and dragged some distance by the en-
CINE. There We're seventy passengers
| on the train, and the two cars that
| were overturned into ditch were
crowded with well known people of this
| section. When they left the track someone
cried out that everybody should cling TO
their seats, but TIE shock was so awful
many were hurled from one side to the
other, those not badly injured being terri
bly, shaken up. Assistance was soon at
hand from other passengers and trainmen,
and when all We're finally taken out of the
wrecked cars it was found that fourteen
people had been injured, four of them seri-
ously and one fatally. The train
was running at the least calcu-
alton at a rate of thirty-fve
miles an hour. and as it reached curve the
cars were noticed to sway violently, and
unheeding the cries for the passengers to
keep their seats, rush was made for the
doors. Many Of the frightened passengers
had reached the platform when the cars
jumped the rails, and when they turned
over in another moment they were hurled
into ditch Unfortunately, men, women
and children, the latter shrieking fearfully
as they went down.
The list of injured is as follows John
Morris, baggage master, will probably die
Charles McElroy, leg broken and otherwise
bruised: William McElroy, head hurt and
internally injured; John c. Irwin of Bethel,
Ohio, head crushed anu scalp injured; G.. 2.
Wilcox of York Pa. head badly injured
In addition TO this, others were badly
bruised, but able to care for themselves,
and this afternoon they went to their re-
spective destinations. Physicians were
telegraphed for from this city and Pitts
burg.

CHICAGO, Ill. July 3l.-The beginning of
the boycott against the Alton by the with
drawal of its Chicago and Grand Trunk
connection yesterday from the agreement
OF the board of rulings is the subject that is
i2gitating every railroad Office in Chicago
today. II is the general impression that
the action of the Grand Trunk virtually
kills the boycott, though Chairman Donald
says thst the board is not discouraged, and
that he personally does not think any Of the
other Eastern lines will follow. The result
is generally credited to q combination made
between the Alton and the Wabash, whereby
the Alton sent all of its Grand Army of the
Republic excursienists to Detroit by the
