He, while adjusting the harness on his horse, received a kick on the abdomen, which after Intense suffering, caused his death as above Btated. Mr. Marshall was an exem plary young man, a member of the' P. E. Church at Sugar Hill, and was greatly esteemed by his friends and acquaintances. He was the son of a widowed mother, and her stay and support, his sudden death being to her a great sorrow. The Forest Prenn says: Messrs. J. D. Hullngs and H. A. Adams, on Monday last, started for Rldgway as delegates to the Greenback Senatorial Conference, and went as far as Kane Monday night Tuesday morning soon after they had taken their seats on the cars, there was a collision, and several men made a narrow escape with their lives. The train on which they had taken passage was a freight heavily loaded, with only one coach attached. They were starting up pre paratory to a start, when they were run into by ao engine. As the passen gers rushed from the cars to escape, Mr. Adams was caught between two cars and severely jammed, and barely escaped being crushed to death. He, however, fortunately came off with out any broken bones, and is able to be around town with the help of a couple of canes. Mr. Hillings also narrowly escaped Injury, but was unhurt and continued his journey. A brakeman had an ankle sprained and the passenger coach was demolished. The Steamboat Sufferers The sufferers from the steamboat disaster, chronicled last week, Moses Shirley, the fireman, and Thos. Hell, the en gineer, are in as comfortable a condition as might be expected. Neither of them have at any time been considered dangerous; but their burns are more severe than we announ ced. Moses Shirley was burned on the whole of one side and back, besides being burned on the head and one arm nearly broken. He is recovering from all hisinjuries,but suffers as one scalded must. He is in good heart and is not obliged to keep his bed all the time. Mr. Bell s burns were more severe than Mr. Shirley's, the scalds being deeper in the flesh. But while he suffers he is fast gaining, and in a short time will be about. For some days he suffered from the concussion, and Is yet perhaps, with numbness in the head- Capt. Shirley was killed instantly and sent into the air above the tree-tops. He was at the wheel, directly over the boiler, in the act of steering the boat, bending over the wheel, which struck him in the fore head, carrying off the upper part of his head, and was killed instantly. The affair has put an end to steamboatiug on the river at this point for a con siderable time, no doubt, as but few if any will be found with sufficient public spirit to build a steamer to run for the pleasure of It. Warren Ledger. Prisoners Try to Get Away. Twoprisonersnamed James Dailey and Patrick Goodman, who had been con victed in Elk county of burglary, and sentenced to the Penitentiary, made a desperate at tempe to escape from Sheriff Oyster and Deputy Wensel, of the county named, while on their way to the State prison on Saturday. At Ir- vlneton, when the train had stopped, the two convicts, who were handcuffed together, started for the car door, but were intercepted by the Sheriff, when they made a fierce attack on the officer, Just as the battle commenced a stone mason entered the car, carrying his tools, and the Sheriff seized his long- handled hammer, with which he be labored the prisoners until they quieted down. On reaching the Peniten tiary the two men were found to be so badly injured as to require the atten tlon of a surgeon. Com. Gazette. Pugilistic Prisoners. The Erie convicts were taken to Allegheny without any trouble, but the Sheriff of Elk county didn't have any such good luck. His name is D. C. Oyster, and his deputy is named Wensel. They started from Ridgway last Friday morning with James Daily and Pat rick Goodman, two hardened crimin als, sent up for a term of years for burglary. The prisoners were locked up in the Warren jail to await the de parture of the train for Pittsburg, over the river division of the Pittsburgh, Titusville aud Buffalo railroad. The start was made for the depot in the evening. Dailey slipped off one of his handcuffs and made a dash for liberty Deputy Sheriff Wensel gave chase. Daily ran headlong into a tree. Wen sel came up, and, after a desperate struggle, captured him. The prison ers were put on the cars. At Irvine- ton they made a break for the car door. Sheriff Oyster leaped over two seat and got to the door ahead of them The car was filled with passengers, so that the officer could not use his weap ons. A stone-mason was standing on the car platform. In his hand he held a cutter's hammer, with a long han die. The sheriff snatched the ham- mer, and at that instant Dailey dashed his manacled hands into his face, Down came the hammer on Dailey's head, and as blow after blow was ad ministered he weakened and asked the Sheriff to let up. Goodman had also attacked the sheriff, and the hammer also beat a tattoo on his skull. Both men had "big heads," and looked as if they had been through a prize fight, They were safely delivered at the Penitentiary. Erie Dispatch.

From the McKean Miner. , The Murder. further particulars evidence before the INQUEST, AC. As we went to press last week a dis patch had just been received by Sheriff King that Tracy, the suspected mur derer of Miss Rellly, had been cap tured at Portville. The Sheriffstarted for that place with a deputy on the 2 P. M. train, and returned with the prisoner on the 9 o'clock train, having persuaded him to come over the State line without a requisition. An angry and threatening crowd Mas at the depot on the arrival of the train, but by skillful management, for which the Sheriff deserves great credit, the pris oner was smuggled from the train, into a waiting carriage, and was nearly to the Jail before the infuriated crowd were aware that their prey had es caped. The party most anxious to get within the secure enclosure of the jail was Tracy. The manner of his capture was purely accidental. He was seen and recognized at Portville by an agent of Barnes, Bancroft & Co., of Buffalo who had made his acquaintace in this place. Securing the aid of aconstable, he had him arrected and telegraphed to the Sheriff. Had not this agent for tunately been In PoiU'ille at that time It is probable that Tracy would have yet been at large. Below we give the evidence before the coroner's jury, from which a ver dict was rendered that Mary Reilly came to her death at the hands of An drew Tracy: S. D. Freeman, M. D., testified: I am a practicing physician. Reside In Smethport, have know deceased Mary Reilly, all her life. I was present at her decease. I was called from the Court House to see her. I found her lying on the sidewalk in front of the house of John Mullin, breathing slowly and heavily. Both increased until she ceased to breathe. It was about 9 o'clock in the evening of Sept. 18, 1878. I could do nothing but ascer tain the character of the wound. She was totally unconscious when I found her and continued so until she ceased to breathe- The wound was in the left temple; the ball passed backward and slightly upwards, breaking up the substance of the base of the brain. I introduced a probe into the track of the ball very readily. I found no other cause for death. She lived about 40 mintites from the time the shot was fired. I remained with her. Her death wascaused by a gunshot wound, the ball passing into the base of the brain. J. T. Reilley, M. D., testified : I re side in New York city. I came to Smethport on Monday, the 16th inst. I am a practising physician. I was stopping at the residence of P. Ford yesterday evening. I saw the deceased yesterday evening. I was informed that Mary Reilly had been shot, and came to the place. I found her In the house of John Mullin. lying on the bed in an unconscious condition, breathing slowly and rapidly approach Intr dissolution. Dr. Freeman had made an examination, I have exam ined the wound. I concur in Doctor Freeman's statement. The wound was sufficient to cause death. She died in the house in presence of John Mul lin, Isabel Mullin, Secelia Reilly, Dr. 8. D. Freeman, Mary Tracy, General Kane, and some others. She died about 9:30 in the evening of Sept. 18, 1878. Belle Mullin testified : I was at the residence of Mary Tracy in this place yesterday. I went there about 7 P, M. and left about half past eight. We were in the store or sitting room all the time we were there. Mary Reilly (the deceased) Secelia Tracy and Mary Tracy were there all the time. Frank McCabe and Andy Tracy came into the room several times. Mary Reilly was playing the piano and singing nearly all the evening. Her sister ac companied her. Andy Tracy appeared very reticent and moody. When I left there about half past eight Mary Reilly came with me. Mary Tracy's store is on Main street about four squares from John Mullin's. We came along the south side of the street until we came to the store of Hoskill & Gif ford, where we crossed the street to the north side. When we came to the blacksmith shop we heard some one walking after us very fast. He kept walking close behind us until we came in front of our house. I was walking next the street, Mary Reilly on my right side. I had her arm. My arm was in her arm. I heard a pistol shot. I was stunned slightly at the shot. It was close to my head. I think the pistol was at the side of my head. I fell down with the shock. As I was getting up I saw a man of medium size running across the street toward Mr. B. D. Hamlin's house. I noticed nothing peculiar except that he was running. I thought it was an accident until I saw him run, and then I knew it was not. lie crossed Main street in front of Mr. Hamlin's house, and then passed dowu Washington street toward Water street. I saw Mary Reilly lying on the walk unconscious. I thought she had fainted and stooped down aud tried to raise her up, got my hand on some blood. She did not speak and was perfectly unconscious. I called for help. My father came first; Mrs. Forrest was soon there. I think Doctor Freeman came in from 8 to 5 minutes. I saw the flash of a pis tol at the same time I heard the report. J. K. Graham testified : My name is J. K. Graham, age 85, residence Bradford. I came to Smethport yes terday evening. Was present at the house of John Mullin yesterday even when Mary Reilly died. About two o'clock this morning I and several others went to the residence of Mrs. Tracy, the mother of Andrew Tracy, as I was informed. When we reached the house some of the party entered and soon came with John Tracy. John Tracy was talked with in regard to the Tracy, brother of Andrew Tracy, testified : I live in Keating township In this county, at the Tracy farm, about three miles from town. I will tell Just as I remember, I sup pose it doubtful if I can remember it all. I woke up during the night but cannot say the hour. Heard some noise. Heard mother and Andrew talking. Heard Andrew saying I am going away and will never return. I went down; I enquired; he spoke lightly of the matter; he afterward told me he wanted to talk to me. When I was up stairs I heard him say that his affections had been trifled with ; afterwards he gave me to understand that be had done something terrible; he did not say who but I thought he had taken life or had attempted to ; he asked me to get him something to eat. I gave him a loaf of bread ; he went away in a southward direction ; I did not know but he was fooling us and was only drunk ; he told me "If any body comes here tell them that I was not here to-night." He held the pistol and made me promise; I assented; when Chadwlck and others came I was terrified for I then supposed he had committed some atrocity ; he has a revolver ; has had for three or four months ; the one he had last night I thought was the one he has had ; I am his brother; he was surely under the Influence of liquor. He raved terri bly ; he has been addicted to liquor. When he was talking to me first I thought he had a difficulty with my brother or sister. Afterwards when he was talking about his affections be ing trifled with I thought of Mary Reilly. He has been accustomed to come home alwut thrte times a week. He had a room in my sister's building. I could not say how long he was at our house last night after I awoke. I would say not less than ten or more than fifteen minutes. I was excited and could not tell how quickly time passed. The moon was about rising- had risen a short tima He did not say how he had committed the crime. I saw him at home yesterday morning. He left there about seven o'clock, in tending to go to Port Allegheny. His demeanor then was same as usual. S. D. Freeman was recalled and tes tified: When I saw Mary Reilly .there was powder in close proximity to the wound. It showed that the pis tol had been quite close to her head at the time of the discharge. I saw An drew Tracy yesterday evening about dusk. He came into my office and said he wanted to see me. I went out into the store room. He bunded me a half pint bottle. He had some money in his hand. I dont know what the money was. He wanted me to fill his bottle with whisky. I told him I could not do it. He said there was whisky in the bottle on the shelf. To get rid of him I was in a hurry I told him he would have to wait until Mr. Callar came. He laid his bottle down by the show case and went out hurridly, and seemed to be excited. I saw no more of him. He did not seem to be intox icated. It was about dusk. It was a little dark in the store. I had no lights in my office yet. James MaGuire testified : Age 24, reside in Smethport. I was at Mr. Rogers' mill yesterday evening. The mill is situated at east end of town near the bridge. I was standing on the baru bridge with a lantern in front of me. I heard some person coming from the direction of where McCarty lives. Heard the footsteps. The foot' steps indicated that he was running, After he passed I went to the road, When I got to the road he came in be hind the store. . I stayed there till he went Into the bridge. I did not see him well enough to say anything about his form and size- I had not heard of the affair in front of John Mulliu's at the time. John Wendel testified : I saw An drew Tracy yesterday evening about my store. He came in two or three times. The last time he came in he went into the back part of the store alone. I thought he was going there to drink whisky. I followed him When I saw him there I was behind the counter aud he had a bottle in his right hand. He tried to put it in the hip pocket of his pants. It seemed that he could not get it in there and he put it in his pants pocket front pocket, There appeared to be something in his hip pocket. He then took the tumbler and took a glass of water out of the pail and drank it. He then started and walked out of the store mumbling something. I could hear him say "I'll fix that son of a b to-night,' There were some ladies in Mary Tracy's store when I looked up. I thought the bottle he had was a pint bottle; did not notice what, if any thing, was in it. Simon Glenn was with him at my store. I saw him and Frank McCabe together. Simon Glenn testified: I live in Keating township, near the Smethport Depot. I was around town last even ing. Was in company with Andrew iracy. The first time i saw him was at Wendel's store. Andrew Tracy had some liquor in a pint bottle. He wen to the water pail and got some water and took some whisky. He offered me some. I took some. He took some also. There was only a little In the bottle. It was a half pint bottle. The next time I saw him was in his slater's store. The girls were there, Mary Reilly, Secilia Reilly and Belle Mullin I stayed there when they went out might have been there ten minutes after they left. I think the girls wen out first Andy seemed natural, don't think he was drunk. Don know of his having a revolver. Don't know what pocket be had his bottle In waiiace ostranoer tesiined: l saw Andrew Tracy yesterday evening- met him at his office door about ten minutes after the bell rung for the con vention. We came up town together ; went Into Mr. llasklU's. He took a cigar I took a drink of whisky and we started to go to the convention; went about half way and he said he Would not go and turned around and went back. I did not see him after that He acted as though he had been drink ing; he seemed to be mad about some thing. When we went Into the Ren net House ho acted strangely. He took out an envelope with two one dol lar bills in and wanted me to take it and do the treating, I told him to treat himself. I took one bill and treated and gave him the change. Frank McCabe testified : I met An drew Tracy opposite Mary Tracy's store on Wednesday evening about half past six. He was coming from Port Allegheny In a buggy. I got in with him and rode to the livery stable. We came from there to the hotel. He asked me to go and take a drink with him. I declined. He took a drink. I did not see him for about an hour after that. Wallace Ostrander and he came to the Bennett House together. I was sitting in the window at the time. They stepped up to the bar and Wal lace Ostrander asked me to take a drink and I think Andy asked me also, but I didn't take it I came out side of the hotel then and a man who was drunk, sitting on a chair fell off when he fell off I, knowing that he was stopping down at Wright's took him down there the best I could, and left him there, and started to come up town. When I got past Mary Tracy's store and almost half way from that to the drugstore (I saw Andrew Tracy standing on edge of sidewalk with his back toward me. I said Hallo Andy, are you going up town? He said " No he wasn't. Mary Reilly is in the store and she is playing some pieces and singing. You had better go in." We both went in together and I took a chair and sat down. He stood up at right hand side of counter. We stayed there whilst she sang two or three different pieces. I got up and went out doors. Andy followed me out on the porch. I asked him if he was going up town. I stopped and leaned against a strip at the side of the door. Whilst we stood there Mary Reilly and Belle Mullin came out, and Mary Reilly said "Goodnight, gents," and they both walked on. Andy passed by me and followed went right after them. I stood there per haps half a minute not longer then started after. Overtook Andy and we walked together until we came just to the west corner of D. R. Hamlin's square, and I had occasion to stop a minute; he went on. I stayed per haps a minute and came on after him. He was ahead of me about four rods. I could also see that the girls were ahead of him. Belle Mullin had a linen suit on which showed pretty plain by the lights along the street. When he parted with me he asked me if I wasn't coming up to the hotel. I told him yes. That was all that had been said since we had left Mary Tracy's store. When I got to Mr. Haskill's hay scales I saw him cross to the north side of Main street on the crossing in front of the Bennett House. About the same time I saw the girls on the sidewalk in front of the store of J. C. Hamlin. When he came to the sidewalk on north side of Main street I saw him make the turn westward in the same direction the girls were going. That was the last I saw of him. I went into the Bennett House. I met Charley Blindbery I stood talking to him. A short time, perhaps two min utes, I heard Frank Richmond say one of Andy Reilly's daughters Is hurt. Blindbery said "come on, Frank, let us go up," and we ran up, he a little ahead. When we arrived in front of Jno. Mullin's house we found her lying on the sidewalk, in a dying condition. I saw that she had a gun shot wound on iter temple. I saw nothing of Andy Tracy afterwards. I have made efforts to find Andrew Tracy since. Within about half an hour afterwards I got the Impression that Audy Tracy had committed the act of killing, and I told Mary Tracy and Dr. J. T. Reilly. I asked Dr. Reilly if he had any idea who did it. He said no, and I told him I had. I do not remember who I told first, Dut after I thought it over I said I thought it was Andrew Tracy. I had heard he was in love with Mary Reilly and had noticed him acting strangely in her company. Never heard him make any threats. I went that night with some other parties to the Tracy place, about three miles from town, where his mother lives. We learned that he bad been there and had left. I learned yesterday that be was seen yesterday morning about half past five at Prospect Hill about five miles from Smethport. I think Andy Tracy has no property in his own right.

For comparison with English sta tistics of railway accidents we have, unfortunately, nothing that presents officially and completely the opera tions of all our American roads. In New York, however, the report of the State Engineer furnishes figures for that State for the year ending Septem ber, 1877, by which it appears that the average number of passengers carried for each one killed was 5,216,820. This includes even those accidents caused by the contributory negligence of pass engers. Now, in Great Britain, for the year 1877, the reports show that one passenger out of 8,877,727 was killed, and in 187tt one out of 3,872.670. Com pared, therefore, with the lines of New York, the railways of Great Britain are at a decided disadvantage in their showing of accidents. Business ards. GEO. A.
