COLUMBUS, Ind., May 12.-—A terrible battle occurred between trammen and tramps. The south bound midnight freight reached here at 2 o’clock. It was boarded by seven tramps at Franklin, and at Edinburg the trainmen undertook to put them off, and a fight ensued. Car ins, knives and pistols were used, and a brakemau named Wyatt was cut and slashed horribly with a knife across the face and breast, and the knife blade was broken off and left sticking in his arm. He was taken to the hospital at Indianap- olis. The tramps boarded the train again, and at this station the battle was renewed, when a brakeman shot one of them, the ball entering the front of the chin, break- ing the jawbone in two places and knock- ing out the lower left row of teeth and lodging in his neck. He was taken to the hospital, and gave his name as John Eb bett, English by birth, aged twenty—six. Both men are badly hurt and will prob ably die. They Stole Half the Train. GUTHRIE, O. T., May 12.—The south- bound train on the Saute Fe road was held up last night by five masked men. The gang is supposed to have been the notorious Dalton boys, who have been seen in this neighborhood recently. They boarded the train at Wharton and de- tached the engine and express car, and then proceeded two miles south and robbed the express car of all the money it con- tained. It is believed that the amount stolen is not very large. The passengers were not molested. A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. Five Men Killed and Many Injured on a British Steamer. LONDON, May 12.—A terrific explosion occurred today in the forehold of the British steamer Tancarville, Captain Car- ter, which was undergoing repairs in the dry dock at Newport. Several men who were at work on the steamer were killed and a number were injured. The steamer was badly damaged by the explosion. The Tancarville is a tank steamer engaged in carrying oil in bulk from American ports, and her last voyage was from Philadelphia for Havre. After reaching the latter port and discharging she proceeded to New- port, where she was to load for Baltimore. There is no doubt that the explosion was caused by the gases that prevail to a greater or less extent in the holds of all oil carrying ships. The force of the explosion was so great that the foredeck was torn from its fasten- ings and blown off. As the steamer was out of water there was no pressure on the hull to counter balance the tremendous outward strain exerted by the explosion, and it is reported that some of the plates on the bottom of the Tancarville were blown from their bolts. The woodwork oi the forward portion of the steamer caught fire, but the flames were soon extin- guished. It has been definitely learned that five men were killed and thirteen in- jured. They Fought to a Draw. FORT WAYNE, Ind., May 12.—The fight between Tommy White and George Sid- dons, both of Chicago, to decide the featherweight championship of the north- west and for a purse of $1,000, attracted a crowd of over a thousand persons to the Princess rink in this city. In the fifth round White struck Siddons a heavy blow on the ear, drawing blood. First blood was claimed for White. In the sixth round the men clinched. At the break- away White got a terrible right hander in the mouth which started the claret. In the forty-seventh round White hit Siddons a blow on the jugular, knocking him down. This was the only knockdown in the fight. In the forty—ninth round the fight was de clared a draw. The Situation in Brussels. BRUSSELS, May 12.-—In the Charleroi dis— trict the strike is spreading. Thirty-four thousand foundrymen struck Monday, and several of the iron works have already been compelled to close by reason of ina- bility to obtain fuel. A socialist orator at a meeting asserted that the day was not far distant when royalty would be brought down as it had been brought down by the French revolution, and that the bayonets employed to prop up thrones would be turned against those who sat on the thrones. The utterances were enthusias- tically applauded. Gladstone Laid Up. LONDON, May 12.-Sunday Mr. Gladstone attended church services apparently in his usual good health, and remained until the close of the exercises. In the afternoon, however, he was seized with an attack of illness marked by a-recurrence of fits of shivering. Dr. Andrew Clark, the distin- guished Scotch physician was called in, and after an examination of his patient’s symptoms declared that Mr. Gladstone must not leave his room for several days to come.
