rRAMPS WRECK EXPRESS

is Derailed.
tVnyfarerg In Spirit of Revenue Pile Fishplat*!
on Track Near Lodie, N. J.?
No One Killed, One M?n Injured.
Middletown, N. Y.?One hundred passengers
on the fast express, No. 3. of
he Susquehanna and Western from Jersey
City to this place ware brought close
:o death by the secret plot of a gang of
Tamps to get revenge for the determined
hostility of the railroad officials,
rhe train was thrown from the tracks
jy an obstruction skilfully placed on
>ne rail. Twenty of the passengers
ivere injured and two of the train crew
ivere dangerously injured. The track I
:or a distance of GOO feet was torn no.
ind so much damage was doue to the
oadbed that repairs could not bo competed
for twenty-four hours.
For several months the Susquehanna
ind Western line has been sternly op>osing
the tramps who frequent its
oute. Scores of men cauglit stealing
ides in freight trains have been proseiuted.
The hoboes made known their
utention to retaliate, and several
:imcs during the last month the threat
ias been made that in some way the
:ramps would be revenged. No stress
vas laid upon any of these rumors un11
the express was wrecked. Then all
:hat had been circulated regarding the
lisaffected tramps was recalled, and
letectives were detailed by the company
to begin an investigation of the
stories at all points along the com)any's
lines.
The express 3t?ft Jersey City at S.4G
i. m. and was due in this city at 12.23.
William B. Hithcart, of Lodie, X. J.,
vas the conductor. Fioyd Pollison
vas engineer and Harry Pierce was
irenmn. Both engineer and fireman
ive in North Patersou. There were
:hree coaches in the train, which was
speeding at forty miles an hour when
the accident occurred.
An old-fashioned, fishplate, such as
las not been in use for ten years on
the road, had been tnken from a scrap
heap to wreck the train. The p!at4
ivas driven into a tie and one end was
eft resting on a rail. The express
lame along at high speed, and, hitting
;hc plate, was thrown off the tracks.
The big engine bumped over the ties,
jreaking some and tearing others from
the rails. The cars followed the engine,
and after a short distance had
jeen covered the wheels pressed
igainst the inside of a rail and ripped
:his line of track completely out of
Jlace. Pollison stuck to his engine until
it came to a stop in the ditch alongside
the tracks. He was badly shaken
jp. He was almost covered with
ivreckage and was taken out with difIculty.
Mrs. Pollison was in one of the
joaches, and. although cut with flying
;lass. her first thought was of her husjand.
She found him in the ruins of
lie engine attempting to extricate himself.
She was rejoiced to know he
Evas alive, having been fearful that he
iiad died at his post. The fireman escaped
injury. Hitchcock was terribly
?ut on the lejj. He was in the front
;ar, and was thrown with crushing
'orce against the back of a scai. How
iie was cut is mysterious? although
there was so much excitement imraeilately
foilowiug the tcident that
many of those on the ira'/i could not
Jetail their experiences. The entire
train was badly wrecked, the coaches
Deing shattered, the sides going like
paper, and all the windows being suat;ered
the Instant the train hit the fish
plate.
For the last few days it has been
aoticed that tramps had disappeared
?ntirely from this city, and it is believed
that the hoboes had departed
preliminary to an attempt to wreck a
train. The tramps have been embittered
by several of their kind being
sent to prison. They hold that the
company has a right to keep them off
trains, but that it' is not in keeping
ivith good management to send any of
the great army of rovers to jail.

Fling Themselves on Xntrenchmenta
Tokio, Japan.?A dispatch, by way
of Sasebo, supplies details of a general
attack upon Port Arthur. The scheme
of it was somewhat different from
that adopted in previous attacks. It
was arranged that all the artillery
corps should simultaneously bombard
selected points,, preparatory to an assault
at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
At early dawn the signal boom of a
heavy gun brought a terrific hall from
guns of all calibres upon the Tungkeekwau,
Erlung aud Sungshn forts.
This continued till 10 o'clock, when the
guns of the points selected for bombardment
were apparently silenced.
But the garrison still defended its position
gallantly, while the' Itseesfcai*,
Pel van and Golden Hill forts DOUred H
shrapnel upon the assaulting columns.
A shell struck the Stmgshn redoubt'
at 12.25 o'clock, exploding the magazine
with a tremendous noise. A column
of smoke spread out and covcred
the sky. Five minutes later a shetf
burst among the Russians massed in
the trench of the Erlung fort, turning.
It into a shambles. The fire at this
time was at its heaviest, the shots
numbering 170 a minute.
Apparently the time for the assault,
had come at 1.25 o'clock. The artillery
fire slackened, and with rifle volleys
and the rattle of machine guns,
the infantry of all the lines rushed
from their trenches up the slopes into
the hot fire. :
The whole army had been madel
"kesshitai"?that is, men devoted tp
death. It was, indeed, a forlorn hope,
for the final charge was into trencher
thirty feet deep, whence there was no
return. After heavy losses the kessbltain
managed to cross the ditch and
raised the sun flag on the top of Tuogkeekwan
Hill at 2 o'clock.
Meanwhile other columns, after des-;
perate fighting, pressed against the
I outer trenches of the Erlung fort* occupied
the outer bank of a great thirty-six
foot trench, Sungshu, the
heights of Fangkiatung and Housanyangtun
and the foot of Lacti Mountain.
The fierce resistance offered by the
Russians at the !ast named places testified
to the Importance they attached
to them. The Russians retook Tungkeekwan,
but the kesshitai recaptured
at 11 o'clock, under the personal
command of Geueral Ichlnche. '
