ANOTHER KENTUCKY FEUD.

A Bloody yendette that IL Reducing the
Male Population of Southeast Kentucky
Turner, a bloody Outlaw, Again Draw
ing Beads With His Winchester.
PINEvILLE, KY. Jan. 30.-A factionn.
feud that promises to rival in blood
shedding the famous Hatfield-McCoy,
or any of the other desperate fractional
wars which has made this section Of
Kentucky notorious, has broken out in
the southern part of this county. The
scene is wild mountainous locality
known as South America, and is about
10 miles from this, the nearest railroad
point Owing to the inaccessibility OF
the place, particulars of the fight
are hard to obtain. Three men
have been killed since last Satur-
day. Their names are Manuel Parton,
Lee Davis and Will Jones. The fight
is between Berry Turner, a notorious
outlaw and murderer, who has perhaps
killed more men than any one man who
has ever terrorized this section, with a
strong gang, and the Parton faction.
The Parton side is strong one and
claims to have the law on their side, but
so far as can be learned they have ha6
the hot end of the fight Parton was
killed Saturday. He had engaged to
capture Berry Turner, dead or alive,
and posted himself at a convenient dis
lance from a house in which Turner
was fortified with a number of his
gang.
1t was probably Parton's intention
to shoot Turner at the first opportu-
nifty, but the latter had too much cum
hn
whereabouts of his wouldbe slayer.
and at an unguarded moment succeeded
in drawing bead on the latter and
sent ball from his Winchester, crash
ing through Parton's head. The body
of Parton was allowed to lie in the
woods for four days, his friends being
afraid to attempt to rescue it.
This murder only fired the Parton
faction to more desperate warfare
against the Turner side, and on Wednes-
day they made bold attempt to
avenge the death of one of their men.
The attempt was disastrous to the Par
tons, as two more of their mum Der
were killed. The Partons had sur
rounded the Turner stronghold. but
instead of taking the enemy were them
selves taken in.

Three Probably Fatally Hurt-Many 9th
 CTS Slightly Injured.

GREENvILLE, N. J.. Dec. 9.-As the re- suit of the collision here yesterday three passengers were probably fatally hurt and 10 others received injuries which called for the surgeons attention.
 & Miss Julia GilrQy, 25 years old, of Eliza beth, was lacerated in the back and hips, and her condition is critical from shock and loss of blood.
 John F. Fiendel, 2S years old, of Jersey City, has 8 bad scalp wound and a com pound fracture of the left leg. His skull is fractured and his chance of life is small.
 George Lawson, 35 years old, of Eliza beth, has 8 compound fracture of the skull, several scalp wounds and a broken leg.
 The departure of the trains from the ferry station was delayed by the collision in the fog of the New Jersey Central ferry boat, which left New York at II 80 o'clock, with freight transport.
 The Roselle train should have left at 11:43 o'clock and the Long Branch express at A. Both waited for the ferryboat.
 The accident on the river frightened the passengers, but did not cause much damage.
 A local train for New York was in the Greenville station when the Roselle train enCereu Ut II 1:OO. A lduy dtGenpUeu CO board it, and was observed to fall from a car platform between the tracks of the two trains.
 Trainman A. J. Hubert, of the Roselle train, saw that the woman had tainted, and was lying dangerously near the wheels, and he pulled the bell cord. The trainman then ran to the lady and helped her to her feet.
 Their train had just begun to move when the Long Branch express, which does not stop at Greenville, appeared out of the fog close by. Engineer Oscar Du- rand reversed his engine and put on the air brakes as his huge machine crashed into the Roselle train. The rear car was splintered and torn up six feet, and it's forward end telescoped the car next ahead. The forward train had three cars.
 Cries of pain, calls for help and the bloody appearance of tho wounded caused 8 scene of great confusion for few min utes. Engineer R. Wolverton of the Roselle train pulled his train ahead and the Long Branch locomotive backed away. Mono of the railroad men were hurt. The trainmen, depot employees and uninjured passengers carried the wounded to the waiting room.

 Swindled Out of S5, 1000.
 CHAMBERsBURG, Pa., Dec. 9.-Jacob B. Crowell, an aged and wealthy citizen of Greencastle, Pa, lost 900 by the three card monte game yesterday. A stranger wanted to buy his farm and while they were negotiating another stranger ap- peared and proposed game of cards. Soon after the game had begun, the dupe was told that he had won 5000.
 Before this would be paid, however, the sharpers demanded that Crowell put up an equal amount. The latter drew $5, 900 from bank and placed it in box, pre- sumably with the money he had won. The swindlers, after dexter ously abstract ing the cash from the box, handed the receptacle to their victim, and, bidding him good bye, started toward Hagers- town.
 When Crowel1 arrived home and opened the box he found it filled with moss bark rubbish. He hurried to Hagerstown and offered reward of $400 for the capture of the swindlers, but they had made good their escape.
 The victim is almost crazed by his loss.
