An Axle BrealvS on E n g ineer K e a g a n ’s T rain th is M o rning aiul W recks F o r ty Cars—T h e W o rst W i'eck in M any Years. The biggest wreck that has oecurred on the Erie since the famous wreck at No. 2 bridge, occurred about 11 o’clock this morning at the Tannery crossing at Spar- rowbush. Engineer Dan Reagan and con ductor H. C. Crawford were coming east with a big freight train. An axle broke causing 28 cars to leave the track, 12 of which went down the bank into the fields piling them up 40 feet high. About 40 cars in all were wrecked. Telegraph wires, poles and both tracks were de stroyed for a quarter of a mile. One hundred yards of rails were twisted and spread, and carried down the bank, unaer the cars, clear of the ties. Bales of cotteu, wool and shingles were spread around the fields, and made seats for the spectators. Between 200 and 300 people vidted the scene of the wreck this afternoon. It is worthy of notice that Engineer Ragan is the engineer who had the wreck at Hancock bridge a short time ago, at which he stood at his post and prevented a more serious accident by coolness and skill. He also had a slight accident at Lackawaxena short time since, none of Which he was responsible for. No. 1 was delayed here until about 3 o’clock. This afternoon, and No. 10 com ing East was delayed at Sparrowbush un til the same time. PORT JERVIS, ORANGE COUNTY, N. Y., TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 17, 1888. PRICE TERSE CENTS 15NI>OKSES BCAKRTSO'.

One of the heads of the firm sent up and had a vote taken of the cutters to ascertain their candidate for President. The poll showed thirty- five for Harrison and Morton and one for Cleveland and Thurman. The boss there fore ordered thirty-five of these beautiful badges and sent them up to the room to be distributed among the Hairlson men. AN E N ERG ETIC REPUBLICAN. Mr. E. L. Requa of Highland Mills, made a pleasant call a t the U niox office last evening. Mr. R-^qua is the member of the State Committee of the Republican League from this district.

The Binghamton Republican says that it is a fact of consideraole importance in politics that ex-Democratic Mayor Charles Butler does not propose to vote the Demo cratic ticket this fall. Last evening he was asked i f he had declared his intention of voting for Harrison. He replied : “ I have not said much about it, but I will not vote for Cleveland. “ Will you vote for Harrison ?” he was asked next and his reply was : “ It is quite likely that I shall.” Mr. Butler has good reasons for taking this course. m e e t i n g V f * I .

The to Cincinnati from this section and there fore is the most preferable route to take.

Moore of Carpenters Point got up this morning and found his stable door opened and a heavy single harness gone, all except the collar. Mr. Moore says that if the light handed chap comes back-he can have the collar, and that he will bear the expense of fitting it to the new horse, if it proves a misfit.

Senator Allison gays that Congress may be able to adjourn six weeks or two months after the Senate receives the Mills bill. The Fuller case was reached and taken up by the Senate in secret session Monday. The discussion was not formally begun though informally the case was talked over about half an hour. Senator Ed munds was not present Monday and so the case went over, being the unfinished business at adjournment. The impression prevails that Mr. Puller will be confirmed to-day or to-morrow. William Lamont was found dead in his bed at the Ashley House at Jackson, Miss., Saturday night. His death is at tributed to heart and lung troubles, from which he had suffered for years. He was an uncle of Daniel Lamont, secretary to President Cleveland, and was born in New York in 1841. Henry Hubener, a Ninth Ave. N. Y. grocer, was awaked at three o’clock Sun day morning by a noise in his store, in the rear of which he sleeps. Revolver in hand, he was icet by a man, who ordered him to go back. Hubener fired and the man shrieked and fell. Two others ran into the store and bore off their companion, but wore pursued by a policeman, who heard the shot. They dropped him and escaped. The burglar was taken to Bel levue hospital, where he was fomid to be dangerously wounded. Hubener was ar rested. but was discharged. George Stevenson, postmaster, express agent, telegraph operator and station agent at Glamis, Tex,,was murdered Saturday by Pedro Jones, a Mexican boy, aged 15. The deed was committed for the purpose of robbery. Ellen Coburn, the two-year-old child of Robert Coburn, •who -was abducted on Sat urday morning, while playing in Wash ington Park, was found this morning by the police, in the possession of a young woman named Edna Card, who claimed to have taken the child simply because she had become attached to it. The young woman does not bear a good reputation. She left home six months ago, and, until recently, has been living in New York City. She was arrested as a disorderly character two years ago. When the water was let into the canal after the break at Adams Basin had been repaired on Saturday afternoon, another part of the bank gave way. The break is about 15 feet wide and extends to the hot tom of the canal. It is expected that this break will be repaired by Wednesday night. Over 400 boats are lying between Bnghton locks and Syracuse and 100 be tween Adams Basin and Buffalo. Another break in the Erie canal at Adam’s basin occurred when the water was let in after repairing the first break. MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN KINGSTON A daughter of W. D. Mace of Tam- worth, a suburb of Kingston, died Friday after a few days illness, the nature of which is yet a mystery. Next morning her sister aged 18, went into the room where the dead girl’s body lay and began tasting the medicine. There were four bottles, from each of which she took a leaspoonful. Three minutes after taking the teaspoonful from the last bottle she died in horrible agony. An examination of the bottles’ contents proves them to be carbolic acid. The family physician does not know how the carbolic acid got into the room and a post-mortem examination proves that the first daughter did not die from taking &ci6.—Mid^let&wn Argus, CONDUCTOE ALLEN IN J U E E D . Conductor Allen of the West Shore railroad, met with a bad accident on Saturday afternoon. He had charge of the tram going south, which leaves New burg about 1 o’clock p. m,, and when going from Weekawken to Jersey City while sitting by an open window his arm came in contact with a signal block, fracturing it as well as the hand. He was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital at Ho boken, where his injuries were attended to. He will be incapacitated for duty for some time. An engineer was struck by this same block a short time ago and dangerously hurt. Railroad men say it is a dangerous obstruction. .Syrups of Figs is Nature’s own true laxative.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY COMMITTED ON T H E STEA M S H IP B E IN . P a t r ic k K e lly K ills Two Shipm ates in th e i r B u n k s—An Eye W itness Gives a Grapliic Account of t h e T e rrible Deed. H is Victim s In s u l t e d H im . A terrible tragedy occurred on the steamship Erin of the National line July 8th. The Erin usually transports cattle from New York on her trips to London, and re turns with general merchandise. She left London, on one of her return trips, on June 29, and among the crew was Patrick Kelly, who was taken aboard at Gravesend, England. He appeared to be a very quiet fellow, who held himself aloof from the rest of the crew, and was greatly disliked by many of them for so doing. If he was ordered to do anything by the captain or chief officer somebody was sure to guy him, until he could bear it no longer. On the evening of July 8jfi, Kelly was guyed by John-Chapman, and John Perry. He turned to Chapman and said : “ I give you fair warning, that if you keep at me the way you have you’ll be Chapman retorted, making light of the threat and told him they did not amount to the snap of a finger. Kelly said noth ing more, but finished the work he was at. At 10 o’clock Perry, Chapman, Kelly and John Whittaker turned in below. Whittaker, the only eye witness to the tragedy said : “ 1 had been sleeping soundly all night and was suddenly awakened about 7 o’clock by a cry from one of the men. I raised my head and a terrible sight met my gaze. There stood Kelly with his hand on the throat of Chapman, who was lying in his bunk on the starboard side of the vessel. I saw that his face was cov ered with blood, which was flowing from a ghastly wound. Just at that moment Parry, who was sleeping in a bunk on the same side, raised his head. Kglly let go his hold on Chapman’s throat and grasped Parry by the head. Drawing a sheath knife five inches long and one and one eighth inches wide with which he had stabbed Chapman, he drove it with ter- riffic force into Parry’s breast, piercing hiB heart and killing him almost instantly. “ Ithen jumped up, and at the same moment Kelly picked up a shirt belong ing to Parry and deliberately commenced T .0 wipe off the blade of the knife. 1 paid no attention to Kelly, but went to the bunks where the wounded men lay and called each by name, but received no answer. I looked at each again, and I knew that they were dead.” The officers ot the Erin were at once notified and Kelly was put in irons. His two murdered shipmates were consigned to a watery grave. When the steamer arrived in New York yesterday, Kelly was arrested and taken to the Chambers Street Police Station. He will be arraigned to-day and will prob ably be turned over to the British Consul. Kelly said he had followed the seas since 1868, but refused to answer any other questions. He is a large, powerfully built man, with a short black beard. He is not bad looking by any means. He seemed to take matters very coolly, and frequently smiled during Whittaker’s story o f the tragedy. W IT H P E N AND .SCISSOES.

Troy Dem o crats w iio w ill not Vote a g a inst th e i r In tere s t—They XeU t h e Reason W h y -Som e Views of Practical B u si ness Men. President Cleveland’s free trade organs are flustering around about his popularity, and trying to ignore the issue of the present campaign. When they are told that the Democratic party is being de serted by its oldest and staunchest mem- hers, they reply that it is not so, that these men are all Republicans. To refute these groundless assertions, the Troy Times has secured interviews with many of the most prominent members of the Democratic party in Troy, Cohoes, Am sterdam and Gloversville, who declare their intention of voting for Harrison and protection this year. The standing of these men cannot be questioned, nor can their former connection with the Demo cratic party be denied. Some of them have been elected to the office of Mayor of the city of Troy by the Democratic party, and all are prominent and well known business men, who know what their interests are. We can’t spare the space to the numerous interviews given in the Times, but a few examples will serve to show the general- feeling of prominent Democrats on the free trade issue. The following are among the Demo crats Of Troy who have declared against Cleveland and free trade, as published in the Times of that city where the parties are all living and well known : Pierce Kane. Stephen W. Barker. 0. P. Bunis. H e n ry Lobdell, John Flynn. ^VHA.T THEY SAT. H od . Joseph M. Warren was elected to Congress by the Democrats in 1870. He was Mayor of Troy in 1851. Mr. Warren H E M IG H T HAVE BURNED TO DEATH A correspondent of the Middletown Press says that the barn and out buildings of George R. Graham, burned near New Vernon last week, was not struck by lightning as the fire did not occur until a long time after the shower. It is supposed that it originated from heated hay or matches with which a little child had been playing in the barn. The timely discovery of the fire saved the life of one man who was sleeping in the barn and who was removed in time and did not wake up until long after the fire was out. AN OLD E N G IN E E R DEAD. Engineer George Webb died at his resi deuce in Hornellsville on Saturday morning after a painful illness of several weeks duration. He was about 50 years of age. Mr. Webb was a faithful employe, a kind and indulgent husband and parent, and a respected citizen. His death awakens wide sympathy. He was a member of Oasis Lodge, No. 251,1, O. O. F., of Hornellsville and of a Post of the G. A. R. in Susquehanna. He leaves a wife and seven children whose loss is irreparable. His remains will be taken to Susquehanna by train No. 10 to-day in charge of a delegation of Odd Fellows. The funeral and interment will take place in Susquehanna immediately after arrival of the train. T H E E R I E ’S NEW ENGINES. The Erie’s new compliment of hard coal burning engines are classed as the finest and most powerful the road ever owned. Nine of them are now in use on the Eastern division, and their engineers say they can haul tue heaviest express trains up grade with ease and make fast time. They weigh fifty-seven tons, have 19x24 cylinders, and sixty-eight inch driv ers. They were built at the company’s Susquehanna shops. The freedom from dust and cinders and speed attained when riding behind these monsters should com mend travel by the Erie as something of a luxury. -Impurities of the blood often cause great annoyance at this season: Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, and cures all such affections. —Ask your grocer for “ Puritan” hams.

A young lady heard his cries and succeeded in pull ing him out just as the train passed over the bridge. He was conveyed to his home ia a carriage, and he is severely injured about the body and legs. The accident occurred near the New Brunswick end of the bridge. H I S PARACHUTE FA IL E D TO W ORK.
