persona outright aud wounding n number
OF others. train bound for Portsmouth
left here at II :.ij this morning. After pas
sing through Milton and going over the
trcstle, Engineer Tunstal, who says he
was running At tho rate OF 10 miles an
hour, felt the bridge giving way. He
threw open the throttle and the engine
tender and box car got safely over. but the
pas sengcr cars were too late and the span
went down under the weight of the second
passenger car, and the sleeping car
followed.
The cars were shivered INTO kind!ing
wood. and the escape Of any OF the pas
sengers was a miracle. The water IN the
creek had risen to a depth of l. or moro
feet and il is the general belief that tho
rise had undermined the foundation
under the piers, causing tho trestle TO
settle. On the train ut the time were
about IL passengers including train hands,
but only one of the latter, Conductor h.
Morris. OF Portsmouth was killed, none OF
the others receiving serious injuries.

SOME GOOD SHOOTING.
RESULTS OF THE BOSTON'S
PRACTICE.
The Big Guns and Their Precision
Rivalry of Marine Artillersts
Bulseyes Made at Sea.

The Uu.t,d 9tales steamship Boston,
which left here 0. the 2oth of last
month for the purpose of drilling her
crew in gun practice, went to Lahaina,
the trip from Honolulu being made in
ten hours, and dropped anchor ab ut
1900 yards from shore.
On the following day the floating
target, which is made Of canvas and
wood, and is about 4x6 feet in size,
was moored. During the preceding
days Of the trip the various guns on
the ship we're used as if in actual war
fare, being fired at the target while the
vessel was moving through the water at
an average speed of nine miles an
hour The accuracy in aim showed in
these trials of the Boston's guns is
something remarkable, and clearly
demonstrates the efficiency of the
modern style of weapons.
The first trials were made from the
forward S-inch gun, from which four
shots we're fred at distance of 1900
yards. Each shot struck the target, the
second one dcmolshing it completely.
From the after S-inch gun similar re.
suits were obtained, the target being hit
three times out Of four shots, many on
board claiming that It was also struck
by the last, but of this there is a differ
ence of opinion.
There was much rivalry between the
crews of the port and starboard ~
millimetre guns, the firing showing the
latter to be the better marksmen. Out
of a possible twenty-five in five shots,
the captain of this guns crew made two
bullseyes, two As and one 3, or a tota'
of 81. Later on with the same gun
second Captain T. Armstrong made
three buJlseyes and two As in FIVE
shots.
In the 6-pound batteries much rivalry
existed between the crews, but owing
to some disauangement in the machin
cry the port gun missed fire on the frs
shot and was laid up for repairs. From
the starboard gun ten shots in all were
fired, the target being struck eign
times. OF these shots two were bulls
eyes, two were As and two rs.
From the malntop with the thirty
seven milIimetere Hotchkiss rapid fir
ing gun J. Johns n, cockswain Of tn,
steam launch, made the remarkable
score of eight bulIseyes 10 ten shots.
From the six-inch starboard batter,
at 1900 yards gunner A. Nelson made
three bullseyes, a 4 and a ?.
Much interest was manifested in tn
working of the one-inch rapid-frin
guns, the trials resulting as follows
On the starboard gun ID. Mullens hi
the target nine times out Of ten, mall
ing SO out Of possible so, while o
the port gun Fred Johnson made fly
As, three IS and two as
Taking into consideration the size {
the floating target and that the Bosto
was steamlng during all f these trial
al the rate Of nine miles an hour tn
efficiency displayed in the handling {
her guns is something remarkable,
say the least 4.
