One Reported Killed In Fight On B.
And o. Near Havre De Grace.

WuNlNGrox, DEI-, Sept. IA curious
story was told by Conductor James McCauley

c1ry Just below Hayre de Grace, as the train
Nas on It's way to this city, be says, the mem
bsra oi ghe crex were attacked By four ne
zr1ss and battle followed, IN which one Of
the negroes was killed and the Others put TO

According 90 Mr.. McCaulley's story he was
walking along the top Of his train when he
discovered that It had been cut in half He
sisnalrd with his lantern and the train came
"a siop. Head Brakeman Jas. Russell started
hack 90 see what was the trouble. but be had
not proceeded far when he was stopped by Two
negroes. who. with drawn pistols, commanded
him to throw up his hands. Instead be turned
aud nan toward the locomotive for help. pnr-
sued hy the negroes, who opened fire on him.
Seeing him coming. the fireman threw him
a coal pick. the only thing he could find at
the time Rassell then met his pursuers and
struck the first on the head with the pick,
knocking him 10 the ground dead. He turned
10 the other, but he fled.
In the meantime Conductor McCaliey aud
his tagmAu had encountered two more OF the
gang. Both sides started to fire pistols and
regular fusiilade was on for some time. Then
the negroes broke and ran for the cover of the
woods. The two railroad men chased them
all the time. keeping up steady hire. The
iu,itives we're finally lost in the darkness.
Ca their return they met Russell, who was
going after the fourth negro. All three re-
turned to the train and found the body OF the
man who had been killed in the fight. His
pistol vas lying beside him and was evidently
new. as il had not been used much. Ii was
81. caliber seveu.shooter The men took the
pistol and leil the body lying along the tracks.
The train was coupled up and when they ar
rived at the next telegraph station the opera
tor was notified aud asked 20 look after the
dead man. The freight train reached this city
about 80 CLOCK yesterday morning. The
people at the station listened with open
mouihei wonder to the story and viewed with
awe the big pistol that Russell showed them.
Conductor McCaulley continued to Phlla-
delphia. where he notified the chief Of the Bal
timore and Ohio police of the occurranee.
Russell said he would give himself up, He
Was acting in self.defense and did not fear any
serious consequences.
Mr.. McCaulley said il was the intention OF
the negroes to rob the train crew. They cut
it in two, taking possession Of each section,
hoping IN this way to Overpower the men.
During the fight about 100 shots were fired.
