There was an ntroctous assault In the First ward yesterday that almost terrain ated In a murder. For several hoars after th' occurrence the victim remained In u precarious condition and his assailants are now under heavy ball. At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon a man rushed into Justice Toomcy's office and told the official that a man had been killed In the house of William ChmlelewskI, on East Lent re street. Deputy Coroner Manley was sent for and in company with Constable Matt. Gtblln he went to the house designated. It was found that the condition of the victim had been exaggerated, although he was in a very bad condition. Ills head and face had been beaten Into pulp and he seemed on th- verge of dissolution. The victim was. John Benesloskl. He was found on a bed on the second lloorof Chira- elewski's house. Dr. Hamilton was called, He dressed the Injuries and succeeded In bringing Benesloskl around sufficiently to enable htm to tell his story. Deputy Coroner Manley decided to take a state mens, xue victim statea that he was lying on the bed on which he was found when Joe Yukofski, William KUkalls. (alias Roach,) Joe Jamaltls and another man known only as Joe, and who bus not been found, entered the room and com menced an assault upod him with bla:k- jicks. They beat him into Insensibility and then left. One of the assailants stood at the entrance to the bedroom with an ax In hand to prevent any inter ference with their bloody work. Upon the statement of the victim Justice Toomey Ismed warrants and Yukofski, Iilskalls and Jamaitis were ar rested. The man "Joe" escaped. The prisoners were committed to the lockup In dofault of $1,000 bail, each, but subse quently furnished the security and were released.

A Train Load of Passengers Danger. in NONE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT The Engineer was Disabled by the Shock and a Woman's Teeth Were Loosened. The Guilty Party Escapes. There was an accident on the Lehigh Valley railroad, near Packer No. 4 colliery, Saturday afternoon, that only the Intervention nf Providence prevented from pmving disastrous. It was the re sult of mi act of some guilty person who succeeded in a molding detection. Pasenger train No. 237, drawn by engine No. (112, left here at 1:40 o'clock Saturday afternoon for Ashland with a train full of passengers, moat of them being women bound for the Packer col lleries to collect the wages due their rela tives. As the train approached Packer colliery No. 4 at a lively rate of speed It was suddenly thrown from the main line to a side track. The engineer quickly reversed the engine and applied the nlr brakes, but before the truiu uuuiu oe stopped it lorced tne en gine against an empty gondola. The train stopped so suddenly that several passengers were thrown forward from their seats. One woman had a lip split and several teeth in her lower jaw loos ened by being thrown against the back of the seat in front other. Seveial others were bruised, but none of them seriously. The crew made an Inspection and found the gondola badly wrecked and the engine disabled. The pilot was demol ished and one of the steam chests was knocked oil. An engine was sent down from Delano to take its place. The engineer of the train, Al. Dent, re mained at his post until the train was stopped by the collision. In consequence of this he sustained a shock that has caused him to discontinue work for a few days. An Investigation has convinced therail- way ofllciuls that the misplaced switch was duo to pure maliciousness, but no clue has been obtained to the guilty party. The local freight and accommoda tion train passed the switch half an hour before the collision without mlshan. Within the brief interval somebody turned the switch and escaped without detection. The ouly people about the place at the time the accident happened were those on the train. Several of the women became hysterical when the train crashed into the car. It is remarked as a coincident that the same engine that floured In this collision was badly damaged on the 5th Inst, by running lnfnjthe rear end of a working man's train utTamaucnd. The engine was sent to the Delano shops from whence It was turned out only four davs aeb after repairs made necessary by the Tamanend collision. Smoke Brennan's famous cigars.

Since Thursday last the miners and other mine employes of this district have been condemning with some spirit an alleged notice that the P. & It. C. & I. Co. will add 25 cents to the amount deducted esch month from the wages of em ployes as payment to the beneficial fund. It is also said that the company proposes taxing two cents for each tool sharpened. The fountainhead of the re port cannot be located and ofliciuls ot the company say they no nothing of the existence ot such notices. It Is more than probable that the re ports were started by somo Idle gossip. "I do not think the company will meddle with the beneficial fund," said a well known official when spoken to on the subject, "because at the present rates the income is much greater than the outlay, although I should not be surprlsod if some reforms should be attempted. The way some people, especially those of tho foreign element, abuse the systemlls shameful. There are men who throw them selves upon the fund when they sustain the most trifling Injuries and they stick on It for the full six months' limit. Yes, they furnish phytlolans' certificates, but well, there could be many restrictions without injury to deservlug beneficiaries. The rates required to be paid Into the fund are 50 cents per month from all In side employes earning seven dollars a week, or over. All earning less than seven dollars pay 80 cents. Outside em ployes earning ten dollars and over per week pay 40 cents per month; those earn ing from seven to ten dollars pay 80 cents and all earning under seven dollars pay IS cents.
