to the Herald from Fulton says:
Train No on the New York, On
tario & Western railway known as
"The Chicago limited" was wrecked
at Ingalls, crossing, four miles south
of this village at o'clock this morning.
The wreck was doubtless due to the
dastardly work of tramps who threw

wrecked as well as two switches to
the north of the wreck.
The train was an hour late and run
ming nearly sixty miles an hour when
1t struck the switch and was thrown
over to the side track. The rapid speed
made it impossible to make the safety
rail. The engine was thrown twenty
feet and blown to pieces. The tender
was inverted. The trucks of the bag
gage car were torn off and the head
coach telescOped the baggage car. A
vestibuled chair car and the sleeper
Farragut were derailed but neither was
badly damaged. Engineer Dowd and
Fireman Hall both jumped and were
found under the wreckage of the ten
der by passengers from the sleeper.
The body of Brakeman Osborne was
torn in two. The dead are:

in court attired in an alpaca cutaway

Mrs. Laurent and her daughter, Clar-

pretty little Anita, aged seven years.
Mr. and Mrs J. B. Billiard were there to
testify, and many French people at

Klincksieck when the request was
made.
The Laurents attempted in court to
show that NJ. Klincksieck had practical

claimed, however, that they intercepted
letters he wrote to his boy and also
opened letters addressed to him which
they knew were not for his boy.
The testimony also brought out the
fact that there has been a general quar-

Attorney Overmyer attempted to mix

the Frenchman was very shrewd, and
his answers were surprising.
