VICTORIA.
Melbourne, April 9. Two little girls, while crossing the railway line at Sandhurst during a dust storm, were knocked down and killed by a passing train. Four Chinamen stuck up and murderously assaulted another on the high road near Shepparton, to-day. Sticks and tomahawks were freely used by the assailants. The express from Sydney, to-day, ran into and smashed several trucks at Wagonga. The engine was disabled. It is alleged that the driver disregarged the danger signal at the station. The charges against the administration of Mr Alison Smith are scouted m railway circles, and unless some specific charges are preferred, it is improbable that any notice will be taken of the resolutions passed by the mass meeting of railway hands held on Saturday.
