The Timothy J. Foley Asso- lation, of the First ward, New York, aad been on a day’s outing to New Dorp. Chey had a tally-ho drawn by six horses, which was loaded inside and out,.a num- der of women ocupying seats within, and shere was also a couple of wagons and a varouche. Encountering a steep down grade in Vanderbilt avenue, the king-bolt of the sally-ho broke and the horses dashed ‘orward, drageii the forward wheels out from under the vehigle and pulling the driver with them. The driver ie mjured. The horses on reaching the ottom of the hill fell in a heap, the rear ones piling on to the leaders, one of which was killed outright and the other to badly hurt that he will die. The coach curned over on its side, pitching off all chose on top, and then turned completely over. John Lynch, sixteen years old, of No. jl Washington street, struck on his aead and received, besides, internal in- juries. An hour and a half elapsed be- ‘ore a physician was found. Lynch was taken to the Marine Hospital, but died twenty minutes later. Of the others in the party the follow- ng were injured: “Jerry” Burnett, pu- gilist, serious injuries about the head; Charles Burnett, ugilist, bruises; Lawrence Loutreli, No. $1 Washington street, arm broken; Thomas Moran, No. 5 Battery place, arm broken, face bruis- ed; Thomas Dowling, Sackett street, Brooklyn, arm broken; Joseph Rey- nolds, No. 23 Washington street, severe cruises; John B.

Louisville, Sept. 9.—The twenty-ninth encampment of the G. A. R. was opened with a fine parade on the arrival of Sommander-in-Chief Lawlor and staff, at 7.30 a m. Multitudes assembled along the line of march from the Union fepot to the Galt house. At the Galt nouse, the headquarters of the National | officers are beautifully decorated and elaborate arrangements were made for receptions during the day. Special trains arrived as fast as they | sould be handled in the depots and the local escorts were kept busy. From early morning and ‘throughout the day drum corps were heard in all direc- | tions as the veterans were being es- sorted 'to their respective headquarters | on their arrival. The railroads esti- mate that during last night and up to ole into Louisville. The railroads anticipate their rush will be during the next twenty-four iours, as most of the visitors will be here ‘or the Naval parade to-morrow morn- ng.

Rothschild’s Would-be Slayer Was Actu- ated by Revenge. Paris, Sept. 9.—The Liberte this after- 1oon says that the identity of the mis- ‘reant who attempted to explode a bomb n the vestibule of the Rothschild bank- ng house in the Rue Lafiette, on Thurs- jay, has been discovered. He was for- nerly in the mploy of the Railroad Company and belongs to an aonorable family. 7 He is a professed anarchist, according .o the Liberte, but was actuated by mo- ‘ives of personal revenge for his dis nissal from the Northern Railroad Com: any in his attempt to destroy the Roths- thilds’ Bank. a ee AGED MAN MURDERED AT HILLSDALE. 5.

While the business of the day was at its height a man walked into the bank carrying under his arm a bomb to which was attached a lighted fuse. One of the detectives who is employed in the bank was standing near and sprang upon the man, seized the bomb and extinguished the fuse in time to prevent an explosion. The would-be bomb thrower was arrested and taken to the police station. This attempt to blow up the Roths- child banking establishment, taken In connection with tne recent sending of an infernal machine through the mails | to the office of Baron Aphonse Roths- child, signfies a persistent purpose on the part of the Anarchists to inflict in- jury upon the heads of the Rothschild house and the employes. It will be re~ membered that Baron Rothschild’s sec- retary, M. Jacobowsky, was terribly in- jured by the explosion of the infernal machine sent to his employer's office, while attempting to open the parcel in the absence of the Baron. Paris, Sept. 6.—The man who was ar- rested is about twenty-five years old. | He refused to give his name, but in- dutged in the usual Anarchist boast, de- claring that others would succeed where he had failed. | The bomb was a rude and primitive | article. It had been made out of a tin can that had once conteined cocoa, The top was tiedon with a piece of wire, and a hole had been punched in the tin to admit the fuse. The contents are not yet known. The bomb was taken to the municipal laboratory, where the con- tents will be analyzed. M. Puybaraud, the police official who examined the prisoner, was struck by his resemblance to the Anarchist Pawels, who was recently killed by the explosion of a bomb he was carrying with the in- tention of cau: an explosion in the Church of the Madeleine. He said he would not be surprised to learn that Paw- els and the prisoner were brothers. The prisoner is of medium height. His sace is pale and he has an abnormally developed forehead. He is close shaven except a short moustache. It is sup- posed that the prisoner is a barber, a razor, brush and soap box having been found in his pockets. Immediately after the detective seized him he drew the ra- zor and attempted to kill himself by cutting his throat. During his exami- nation at the police station he defended his Anarchist opinions in well chosen language. He said the bomb contained fifteen grammes of chlorate of pc he | and twenty-five grammes of blas powder. It contained no projectil He | intended to use it as a protest against | the proceedings of t He pro- fessed profound conte ork. | MUST 60 TO HALIFAX TO DOCZ. | The Big Battle-Ship Indiana © Accommodated in This Country.
