Long Island.

Three. and Probably Four, Lives Lost by
Locomotive Explosion at oyster Bay,
Long Island.
OYSTER BAY, l.. T., Sept. 10.-The
boiler of the locomotive of the regular
passenger train on the Long Island
railway, scheduled to leave here at 7:06
a. M, exploded with terrific force while
the train was standing at the station.
Engineer Donaldson, Fireman Dickin-
son and Brakeman Mahoney were in
stantlv killed, their bodies being
thrown some distance and horribly
mutilated The locomotive was COM
pletelv wrecked. There was large
number of passengers on board the
train, and some of the passengers were
thrown on the floor receiving slight
cuts and bruises, but 50 far as known
none were seriously hurt.
The train known as No. 6, and usual
ly carried residents Of Oyster Bay who
have to attend to business in New
York every day. Conductor Jones Of
the train, who was standing near the
locomotive at the time Of the explo-
sion, was thrown several yards and Sc
verely scalded His condition is crlti-
cal. 1t is supposed that low water

The First Shot at Gettysburg.

An interesting incident which some-
what affects the claim of the Eighth
New York cavalry to the honor of firing
the first gun at the battle of Gettys-
burg occurred at the dedication of the
Illinois monuments on the Gettysburg
battlefield. Ex-Gov. Beveridge assert
ed that Lieut.. Marcellus Jones, of Co.
e, Eighth Illinois cavalry, fired the first
shot. Jones told how the cavalry moved
ont on the Chambersburg pike to point
near the toll-gate. One thousand yards
away, at the bridge over Marsh creek,
the enemy was first discovered, and he
fired at man on horse back. A man in
the audience, who proved to be Col. w.
T. NJ. McCarty of the First Texas le-
gion, now living in Hagerstown, Md,
arose and asked Jones what kind of a
horse the man was riding. Jones an
swered: "a white horse" Col McCarty
replied: 81 am that man. That morn
ing | was riding a white gelding, and
was at that spot" The two enemies of
twentyeight years ago were intr oduced,
and talked over their experiences of the
battle. The coincidence will compel the
Eighth cavalry to prove their right to
claims.

the telegraph employees along the

knowledge, and when she refused to
marry, and upbraided him for his
hasty action, the terrible tragedy fol-

stories afioat, and it is almost impossi-
BILE to arrive at the bottom facts. The
general belief, however, is that the
doctor was temporarily insane when he
committed the deed.

Capt. E. G. Mathey, Seventh cavalry,

Mathey says the Illinois National guard iii
its entirety is fine body of men, who have
made very creditable progress during the
past, and the earnest efforts of the officers
to fully discharge their duties can not be
too highly recommended. 1t is pleasing to
note the decadence of the ornamental
features of the state troops and the climina'
tlon of the display element with corre-
spending growth in more thorough knoWl-
edge of pract ical military duties. As volnn. :.
teer infantry can be more quickly rendered
effective than other arms of the service, 1t is
suggested that more attention be given to
the organ iZatlOn and care of battaliOns OF
cavalry and batteries of artillery as valua-
bic addition to the Illinois National guard.
The encampment of the guard by regiments
would bc productive Of better results to the
present than the brigade encampmcnts, and
it is also recommended that q system of cx-
aminations for promotion, and a method OF
retiring undesirable officers. should be
adopted.
