PIGiON POPPING A nnnke Bergh Detied for Stamps—Pigeon Match at Manhattanville. The long expected match between Ira A.

Tuylor bet $600 to $400 that he would beat Payne in a match of 100 birds each, twenty-one yards rise and eighty-three yards boundary. The match was arranged to begin at one o'clock, but it was after two when the first trap was sprung. Taylor led off and shot Lis bird, and Payne promptly levelled hia piece and dropped his pigeon in fine style, The weather was so bitingly cold that the birds nad to be scared up from the trap by throwing stones at them. Taylor knocked over his bird the second shot, but Payne, foliowing after, missed ; the bird, however, fell dead outside the prescriped Imit. Taylur then ured and killed; Payne advanced and aiso gent his Bergh-sympatnizeu aove futierlag over the fleld, dead as a duck. Taylor was next In order, and banged a deadly ‘no’ to the fluttering fight of the fourth pigeon. Payne, whose attitude “in coming to the present” was both gracefal and ptc- turesque, Was not 80 fortunate, the assauited bird winging we way beyond the limits of the “dead line” prescribed by the sanguinary inanagers of the match, The shooting was even froin this until the twelfth shot, when Taylor missed and}Payne knocked his bird over scientificaily.

Bird for bird was knocked over until the twenty- eighth shot when Taylor killed his bird, but Payne, although he brought his feathers to the ground, had the mortification of seeing the willful bird lightt for beyond the fel. The twenty-ninth and thirtieth rounds were satifactory ior both the ‘‘shootlsts,” and extremely unp leasant to the doves. During the shooting the pigeons showed an absurd nervousness whea the champions “drew o bead on ‘em,’ cowered behind the trap, cooing for the benevolent Bergh. A stal- Wart negro, who grinned in unutterable detight at each successrul shot, rau kicking after the uttering Pigeons and bore them back in triumph amid the applause and laughter of the shivering sports when handy stones fiad fluttered them up and pointed guns had knocked them down. The contest was pretty even after tne first few shois; but Payne had the odds towards the latter Dart of the contest. Pigeon alter pigeon was knocked over by the contestants In turn, with a few escaj es, and, finally, near sundown, the following was ascer- tained to be the result:—Taylor, #8 shots, killed 50; Payne, 97, killed 83. It was thought by all present that if it were possible to have light for halfan hour more Taylor would have been sbot out of his boots, THE CROSBY STREET TRAGEDY.

A despatch from ton reportg the HL jen death, on Saturday night last, at the Chelsea Navai fiod- pital, of Surgeon Edward Gilchrist at the agé of fifty-seven years. He was born in Massachusetts during the year 1812, received a good education, studied medicine and entered the naval service of the United States by appointment from New York, on the 26th of January, 1832, His promotion in rank Was unusually rapid for his branch of the service, he having been commissioned full surgeon on the 2ith of September, 1840. At the time of hia death he stood fourth on the list of surgeons in active ser~ vice. During the war with Mexico he served on board the sioop Portsmouth, in the Pacific, On the outbreak of the rebellion Surgeon Gilchrist was on duty with the new frigate Wabash, of ae eight {peed and, we think, participated in the attack on and cap- ture of Forts Hatteras and Clark, at Hatteras Inlet, on the 20th of August, 1861, and on the 7th of Novem- ber fohowing aided in the reauction of Port Royal, 8. C. Early during the year following he was a8- signed to duty as fleet surgeon of the Mississippi Notiila, holding unis position until the year rollow- ing, when he took sick aud was granted leave of absence, On recovering he was ordered to the Kast Gulf blockading squadron as deet surgeon, He continued on this duty till April, 1865, when he was ordered to the Naval Hospital atCheisea, Mass., ag resident surgeon. This position he held at the time of his death. surgeon Gilchrist bore the repu- tation of being one of the ablest medical men in the navy. He served altogether thirty-seven years, nine months and thirteen days, of which fifteen years and five mouths were spent at sea, for eight years and three months he was unemployed, and the bal- shoe of the time he was employed on shore or other uty. Jetur KR. Riggs. rhis well known physictan of Paterson, N. J., and ex-memiber of Congress, died at Drakevilie, Sussex county, on Friday last, in the 61st year of his age. He was born in Morris county, on the 20th of June, 1809, received a liberal education, studied medicine and graduated at the Barclay street Medical Univer- sity of this city. While yet a young man he spent several months travelling on sea over various parts of the world. From 1832 to 1849 he practiced his profession in Paterson with marked success, Winning a favorable reputation for skill and ability. Entering into politics, he was twice elected to the Lower House of the New Jersey Legislature. Subsequently he went to Sutter’s Fort, in Catifornia, where he passed some time in charge of the hospitai St that place. On his return to bis native State Dr. iggs resumed the practice of his profession, and, reentering into active poliucal life, was nominated by the democrats in 1855 tor the New Jersey Senate and was elected, beating his Know-Nothing competitor by some 250 majority. In 1858 he was the Anti-Lecompton demo- cratic candidate for Congress, and, being supported by ali the elements opposed to the administration democrats, he was elected, beating Mr. Huyler by 683 votes, He served in the House of Representa- tlves ag @ member of the Committee on Manufac- tures, and on the expiration of his term retired permanently from political life. Dr. Riggs was ver! pular among all classes in New Jersey, and his jeath will be widely regretted. His funeral wil) take place at Drakeville this morning.

[From the Dayton Journal, Noy. 2.) Between one and two o'clock on Saturday morn- ing, a bold attempt was made to rob the First Na- tional Bank at Newcastle, Heurie county, Ind, A couple of young men who slept in the room over the bank were awakened @ little before two o'clock by an unusual noise, Which they soon became need was tn the bank and it sounded like dull, heavy blows on the bank vault. A reconnoissance to the lower part of the building satisfied the men that burglars were at work trying to force open the vault and they noiseleasiy left the building and aroused the officers of the bank and a number of other citizens, who armed themselves with revolvers and surrounded the bank. The front door was then opened and the robbers, uwo in number, were fired on. ‘They returned the fire, but they were not in position to strike auybody, and they made arush for the alley by means of the rear door, which they had left open. A general dis- charge of revolvers was made at that juncture, and one of the burglars was brought down by a severe wound in the the thigh. Three or four citizens were alao wounded, one seriously, by the indiscriminate discharge of revolvers, in the intense excitement of the moment. The robbers did not attempt to dis- charge their revolvers alter the first attack on them, but bent all their energies to the effori toescape. The wounded burgiar was taken tt charge, but lis con- federate eiuded the vigilance of the people and escaped, About the time that robber No. 2 managed to escape from the excited and Myon gee puragers the Chicago and Great Kastern train arrived from the West, aud a number of citizens boarded the train for the purpose of catching the bank robber should he attemp to get away by the train, as It was believed he would, Passengers were suddenly aroused from their uneasy siumbers, critically Viewed and soon were briefly and vigorously luter- viewed.

Cars ‘Telescoped—Pasyengers Crashed—Six Killed and a Number Wounded—Alleged Gross Carelessness on the Part of the Com- pany and Its Employes. From the 3an Francisco Times, Oct, 31. In the despatches to the Associated Press of Wed- nesday was an obscure item from Wasatch, stating that an accident had occurred and three passengers were killed, one of them named Joann Tustin, of Petaluma. Had the accident taken place on the frie Railroad, in New York, or on the New Orleans and Lake Pontchartratu, we sliould have been sup- plied with the horrible details, the telescoping of the cars, the recklessness of the superintendent, who had neglected to repair a switch reported three days ag defective, and the carclessuess of the engt- neer of one of the colliding trains, who received the danger signal afuli mile from the point where he rushed into a wrecked train loaded with passengers. Our cotemporaries would have commented upon the enormity of permitting roads to be demoralized by Speculators like Vanderbilt and James Fisk, Jr., and perhaps would even offer useful suggestions, based upon the observations of European travel, as to the importance of “sounding the wheels” at the end of every twenty-miie section. For ourselves, we have refrained from comment until we could receive details of the sad affalr, and then show clearly where tue blame lay, A PALACE TRAIN OFF THE TRACK. ‘The train which left Omaha at ten A, M. Monday cousisied of two baggage cars, two passenger care and two Pullman palace cars, made up in the order in which we have Inentioned them, the baggage cars in front and the Pullmans im the rear of the train. At a point one and one-half miles this side of Evans- ton, coming towards Wasatch (distance eight and a naif miles), the forward wheels of the engine were thrown off the track by a defective switch, which bad been reported three days previousiy to the di- Vision superintendent as out of order, and which had not been repaired. A despatch was immedi- ately sent back to Evauston for a spare engine to come and haul the cars on the track. The engine caine down, made fast to the rear end of the rear- most Pullman car and hauled the trafm with its engine up on the track. She then cast of and moved back some three yards from the cars, where sue stood, when the emigrant train came thuuder- ing down, striking her aud driving her into the mo- tionless train ahead. 3 THE WARNING. This emigrant train was rnnuing on her regular schedule time, @ half hour beiind the first train. When the accident occarred the conductor of the wrecked train sent back @ brakeman with a red flag to a point a full half mile distant, and where he could be seen at least haif a mile off by the engin- eer of the approaching train. The brakeman says that he waved the flag for danger, but the approacu- ing train took no notice of it and rushed past him atthe rate of twenty miles au hour. This fact is not denied by the engineer of the emigrant train, but he says that he whistied down his orakes aod the men did not put them down. It is merely ab- sura to say that an engineer cannot get bis brakes put down during the minute and a half that be is running @ balf mile. Aa he passed the signal man yelled to him to reverse his engine, and he did sa, But he was too late. ‘three minutes afterward he smashed into the detached engine, and a crowd of wounded, dying and dead were crushed amidst the wreck of both trains, THE COLLISION—CARS —TELESCOPED—PASSENGERS ORUSHED, The detached engine was driven back against the rear Pullman car. reaking its platforms and driv- lng it up against Pullman 4 It was tn thie car that the damage was done. The two Pulluans did hot “telescope,” but the second Puilman and the rearmost passenger car did. Both were rendered an almost comple wreck. ‘Tie luxurious stateroom in the end of the superb palace car was completely Inashed, and here the unfortunate Mr. Johu Tustin Jost his life. A party of seven were standing on the platforms, when one of theim chanced to lean out and look to the rear, when he saw the engine of the emigrant train just coming round the curve. He cried “Look out!” and ‘Jump!’ at the same moment jumping himself and rolling down the en- bankment. Five of the others all teapea down on both sides of the train, but Mr. Tustin, au elderly man, Was leas active in getting off. He haa swupg about one-half of his body off veyond the line of the cars, holding on io the rail with his jeft hand, and was already in the act of letting go when the cars came together, cacching just one-half of his body between them, and of course crushing it Into a mere maangled mass of flesh and fractured bone. Here the Dody remained for three hours before it could be extricated, while his unhappy widow (who was slightly wounded) was compelied to remain in the train, 1n Knowledge of the horribie event. Of course Mr, Tustin’s death was tustanta- neous; We may mention, as instaucing bow shock- ingly he was mangled, tiat wuen his body was reieased, bis heart was found to have been forced compietely out of the cavity of his body, Mr. Tustin was a prominent citizen of Petaluma, an old resi- dent, and well xuown tnrouga all that section of country, We have mentioned the almost miraculous escape OL Lie BCU wie teaped fous the phaliOril, At the Same moment an ofilcer of the navy, Was one of the occupants of the destroyed state- room, was in the act of cowing out upon the plat jorm. Hie had opened the door, saw the otners leap, stopped for an instant irresolute, the next the cars came together and he was thrown backward into the saloon of the Pullman, painfully bruised, but not seriously injured. Following is the list of the wounded, all of whom were in the Pullman car, with details of the injury sustained by each:— Mrs, J. Tustin, of Petaluma, widow of deceasea, braised paintuily tn the face, Mrs, E. A. Horton, of New York, shoulder dislo- cated. It was set on the spot. Mrs. George K. Gluyas, wife of Mr. George K. Gluyas, cluet engtueer of the California Steam Navi- tion Company, injured in right arm. Miss Nannie Gluyas, cut seriously, but not danger- ously, In forenead, Miss Maggie Waters, of DeWitt. lowa, tnjured in the back. She was severely jarred, but, it is noped, has sustained no internal injury. A. P, Andrews, of Sacramento, was wounded, but not severely, in the arm, breast and hip, Mrs. J. W. Coftroth, also of Sacramento, wife of the State Senator from that city, sligutly wounded, and also ber child, Lieutenant Commander Alfred Hopkins, of Sara- toga, N. Y., Wounded slightly in arm and neck. Mire. F. H. Chessman, of Boston, slightly, in uead. KILLED ON THE EMIGRANT TRAY ‘The rear train was loaded with Mormon emigrants, and hore the fatality was greater, but we have ess detali as to the injuries sustained. Three of the wretched emigrants were killed ouuight, two were fatally wounded and a large number Were more or less injured, some very severely. It will be noted thai, as usual im cases of collision of the sort, the train in motion sustains the greatest amount of damage, the cars “telescoping” worse than in the train which Is stationary, GATHERING UP THE PIECES, The wrecked cars were fastened together with chains and run slowly down to Wasatch. The dis- aster had been telegraphed to the division superin- tendent at that point, who at once communicated with the train from Cailfornia, eastward bound, and found that there were two or three surgeons on board. These dressed the wounds of the passen- gers, and three hours afterwards were forwarded on to attend to the sufferings of tose on board the em1- grant train. The couduct of the bo apes in not sooner sending forward this relief, is also # verely criticised. He himeelf stated in excuse that he was expecting back the iocomotive which had been first sent to the relief of the wrecked train, After waiting three hours without its coming to hand he forwarded the surgeons by another locomo- tive. AN ODD CONVERSATION—A RECKLESS ENGINE DRIVER. We have mentioned the gentleman who discerned the approaching train, and cried to the others to “jump.” He was talking tu the unfortunate Mr, Tustin at the moment, and, with regard to the accl+ dent, Mr. Tustin had said, in a jocular vein, that he might have “got even" on the life insurance com- panies, forhe was insured for $12,000; the gentie- man replied that Mr. Tustin bad “gone one better” than himself, for he was insured for $11,000; at the same breath he looked back and saw the emigrant locomotive. It appvars also that the engineer of the latter bears Sreputation much like that which “Hank Monk’? used to enjoy in the days of pioneer coaches and Kingsbury grade. He 1s accounted a reckless and daring fellow, and his conduct in the present in- stance is such as we might expect from such @ one, He says that ne saw the signal and whistled; tnis should have been a mile or less from the point of collision. The passengers on the forward train beard no whistie. Had he whls- tled within that distance they ought to have heard it. Knowing that he was close to their heels they must inevitably have kept one ear open in that di- recuon; and finally conceiving that he may have whistled once, he confesses that bis ‘boys’ did not puton the brakes, whereupon It 1s clear that any but a reckless engineer would have kept on whistiing until they did, and finally would, and ought to have, reversed hig engine wheu he found that from any cause they did not. A VERDICT OF CULPABILITY, But if the story told by the men on the road and and at Wasatch be true—that the switch was re- ported out of order three days before the accident aud that no effort was made to repair it—then the responsibility of the whole occurrence clearly resis with the division superintendent, There i# no ex- cuse for any accident resulting from a defect of which the company has been notified, and which they know i# likely to produce such lamentable con+ sequences a8 those Which we have now recorded, FOREIGN ART NOTES, A Finiand vessel has just conveyed tc St, Peters» burg two enormous blocks of stone from the banks of Lake Ladoga, each weighing 1,800 pounds 00d pounds), to be used for the pedestal of the statue of catherme I, ‘The Cluny Musenm, at Paris, has recently received ivory statuettes of our Saviour and of the Virgin of very curious workmanship, executed in Portuwak Guring the sixteenth century.
