Attempts at Wholesale Murderon I« nols Railreads. : Mexpora, I, June 28.—Passengorson the eouthward bound train on the IHlinois Central Railroad, that errived here last evening ot8 o'clock, state that when their train was about four miles south of Freeport, the locomotive of tho train struck iwo cedar rails that hod been posely placed on the track, with the evident intcution of throwing off the train down an em- benkment close by. The rail was pushed -in front'of the locomotive about twenty rods, whea +ho train was stopped. - Tha esstwerd-bound passenger train from 3fendots, on the Chicago, Barlington & Quincy Railroed, reninto . pilo of stones about half- l‘:svz o'clock this mornibg, near Meridan, that d been Eathered from a culvert close by and heaped up with & view to injuring the irain. The locomotive wes not injured, and tho train was 2ol serioualy delnyed; but the wesbward- bound train ran into enother pile of stonosa short distance further east, toward Earlvillo, on the double track, which resulted in tho entire disablewent of the engine and a de- Iny of two hours to the train. Fortunately, in these cases, the trains were not thrown from tho track, and 'no ono was gerionsly injured. There Scems £0 be an organized movement on the part of some desperate villains to work mur- der ard destruction upon the railrosds in this soction, Various surmises aro afloat as to tho causo of these dizbolical scts. Somse even go so faras fo sttribute this scoundrelism to the Sarmers' movement. We feel eure, howerer, that farmers would lend no sanction to such s crime. . P S . : The Crops.

The Matier to be Investigated by the Deacons of Dir. Beecher’s Church, Interview Between Mr. Bowen and Mrs. o Woodhull. 0 The Latter’s Conditional Promisc to Tell All She Knows. New Yonx, June 28.—The Drooklyn FEagle says : Tho Examining Committoe of Plymouth Church has ‘received from F. West o' specific charge of slandor against Henry O. Bowen. It is charged he hns circulated slanders sgainst Henry Ward Beecher, which are false, and his (Bowen's) expulsion is called for. An in- vestigation is to be made immediately. Mr. Beecher is desirous that the investiga- tion ghould be made at once. The at- tor 18 referred to the following-named Deacons and members of the Examining Com- mittee : Elmer H. Garbut, D. H. Hawkins, H. B. White, Lysander W. Manchester, Georgo Day, Dauiel W. Talmage, B. W. Ropes, J. Howard, C. C. Duncan, A. K. Moody, R Bonodict, Samuel E. Belcher, C. H. Morton, Thomes J.

Four Dea~ conesses aro members of this Examining Com~ mittee.” The Eaglesdds: “This morning & reporter cailed upon Mr. Halliday, who, in answer o & request for a copy of tho charges, eaid, “ Yon cau't get them from mo, gir.” ““He furtber refused suy information concorn- ing tho proposed investigation. Tho roporter came in contact with several prominent membess of Mr. Beecher's church, and tho general opin- ion seemed to be it would bo better for the Chuwrel if tho investigation woro curried on in public.” “On very good authority it was sscertsined that tho charges refer in the main to certain ut- terences mads by Mr. Bowen at a recent confer- ence which took place st the house of Victoria -C. Woodhull.” From ths New ¥ork Sun, June 25, At 5 o'clock lust evening Mr. Honry G, Bowen, . editor of the Brooklyn Union ; s son, Alr. H. B, Ciaflin, the great dry goods merchant; Br. Honry A. Bowen, and stouographer drove up to Victoria C. Woodbull's residenco in East Thirty-fourth_stroet. On.entering the pazlors they wero grocted by Mrs. Woodhull and, Afiss Claflin. Judges Wood =xd Rtevmert, Mr. Géorge H. Ellery, of Indiana, Mr. J. Parker Jordap, and . Jauios McDermott, of Rrooklyn, were alfeady there. After all had taken seats Judgo Roymert eaid that he understood that the object of tho mecting was to bring _ to 8 closoin some way the prosccution of M, Woodhull. Ho was interrupted by Mr. McDor- mott, who said that the main object of the visit of M. Bowen and Mr. Claflin was to obtain from Mrs. Woodhuli what documentary evidence she had sgaivst the Res. Henry Ward Beecher and Mr. Theodore Tilton in relstion to what is called the “ Beecher scandol.”. Ho himself had soen tho letters of Ar. Beechier and Mr. Tilton to 3lrs. Woodhull, and know that they contained importent facfs conrected with the scandal, He, liko many othore, ho continued, belioved that Mr. Bowen had becn terribly maligned in regard toit, and it was for tho sske of that gentloman's fuir namo, snd to convince the world of the truth of the charges against his pastor, that ho (McDermott) took part in the meeting. He thought it due to all concerned that al the facta in Mrs, Woodkull's possession should be given to Mr. Bowen and Mr. Claflin, 20 that they might {ake such sction ns they deomed best., Mrs. Woodhul, turning to 3Ir.

Theso sharpers presented to tho print~ ers what purported tobe anorder from the Goveruor of the District for two books of blank cortificates, receiving which, they also earried away the ordor.

THE DEXTER PARK CLUB MEETING commences on Tussday of this weck. As the opening day draws near, publis interest in the races heightens to a degree that foreshadows their entira success. Every indication tends to strongthon the belief that tho meeting, 85 a whole, will be s memorable event in the sport- ing annals of the country. The running and trotting tracks are in eplendid condition. Ex- perionced turf-mon say that their equals do not exist anywhere. The stands are comfortably fitted up, and arranged so 88 to afford accom- modation to s larger number of poople than ever bofore. The old fences have been re- paired, and new oncs introdaced where s neces- sity for them existed. Paint and whitewash bave beon sprosd aronnd with an unsparing hand, and every pieca of wood in sad looks clesn and cheor- ful. Better than all, the horses entered for promiums are in good health, and dolog well in their ¢ work.” A great masy peo- ple imagine that because Goldsmith Maid and Lucy will not be here there will be no extra fast time made. This is an excesdingly erroneous idea. The meoting will be beiter off without those mares, for it is o well-known fact that their races togother are hippodrome affairs. . In their steaa e bave the famous mare American Girl, with a record of 2:17X, and a general repu- tation equal to that of any horse in the worid.- The og\nfly famous stallion Bashaw, Jr., is also here; backed by a record of 2:21 on a short track and 2:241¢ on o fall one, Tho bay horse Henry Todd, a stranger to these parts, is entered, and great things are oxpected of him. In s recent trial he made s mile in 2:22% without being pushod very bard, and ~is - lisble to do better. Heo is represented to be s thoroughbred, and certainly shows broeding in all his movements. Ho was pur chased on Friday by Mr. Alexander Lowia for £12,000. Clara G., snother noted trotter, will sppear daring tho meoting. She was formerly ovned in this city, but i8 now the property of Mr. Richmond, of Buffalo. Her best time, 3:26, was made in tho third heat of her first race. The Eastern horse Semsation is among the entries for faskhorses, and is reputed to bo a good one. His best timo was within a fraction of 2:23.
