named Silas Edwington, VIII ose family
resides on Water street, near alley B,
was killed under the following circum-
stances: From what we can learn
Edwington lett his home before noon
to pay visit to some friends near Ben
wool and that he had been drinking a
little, but was not intoxicated. Over
come by the heat he laid down under
some freight cars that were standing on
the siding below Benwood, and there in
the shade went to sleep. About half
past two o'clock an engine backed on
to the siding to couple on to the freight
cars under which the man was sleeping
As the engine struck the cars they were
forced back and a bolt or something on
the break Of the freight car was driven
into Edwington's body and he forced
along the rail. His screams were not
at first heard. but as soon as they were
he was extracted and it was found that
his legs were broken and that he had
received dangerous wound in the side.
He requested.to be taken home and was
put on an engine and brought at once
to the city. He lived until he reached
the Baltimore and Ohio machine shops.
Justice Clohan was called to hold an
inquest. He summoned a jury who
found o verdict OF accidental death.
Edwington leaves a wife and one child.

Coal Oil johnny.

John W. Steele, generally known as
"Coal Oil Johnny" whose explolt& as
long as his money lasted have been
much made of by the newspapers,
writes a letter to the Meadville, Pa,
Republican, correcting some misrepre-
sentations concerning him. He says !:
''Anv man of reason knows what evils
beset me at the time the possession Of
the property became vested in me.
Money was no object to me; and l was
set upon by vultures of all persuasions
and on all pretences. l was a minor
and hardly knew what to do. / tried
to have a guardian appointed, but, I'M
der the excitement at that time, the
bail was fabulous and failed.
Every one I met had advice
for me, and in the end, wanted to, OF
did borrow money | could get no
peace at home for bores for projects OF
every description. l never handled
any amount of money. Betwixt my
agent on the farm, and host of self
constituted agents, my share was small.
Some OF your tOwnsmen assisted faith
fullyto rid me of money and property.

ACCORDING to the Missouri Democrat,
there is Methodist clergyman preach
ing in ST. Louis who expects shortly to
be able to build a churh of his own,
and live in the future independent of
contributions from his parishioners.
The story goes that an ancestor of Mr..
Springer, the said clergyman, leased a
farm in Delaware to German for one
hundred years. In the course OF time
the farm was sold in parcels to different
purchasers, and became the site OF a
large town. One of the decendants of
the original owner has discovered the
lease among the records of the county,
and has ascertained the whereabouts OF
three hundred of theirs, of whom Mr..
Springer is SO modest in his views that
he will be satisfied with half million
for his share. Truly, contentment is
better than riches

THE EMPTY SHOES.

o. blessed trust, whatever else eetide,
Gods eates of gold are ever opened wide,
When infant feet press up the other side,
Only two tinF smooth-worn shoes
Two stirless, voioeless shoes!
And yet. l can't refuse
The lessons they teach to my spirit-ear;
can but hear
The messages of love they bring,
The words of hope they utter near,
The echoed song they sing.
OH the waiting little feet
Safe within the sure retreat,
Safe, SO near the mercy seat;
They shall wander ne'eI again
On the slippery shores of pain,
Never grope nor tire, nor stumble in earths dark
ness or its rain.
Safe, for aye, from sin and sorrow,
Till the dawn of some tomorrow,
When, adown She heavenly street
-. We shall greet
The on-coming of the welcome and the patter of the
feet

ECONOMY OF TINE is LABoR.-Ihe
Delaware, Lackawanna and western
railroad company have erected at Ho
boken large trestle work, for the con
venience of loading the tenders of their
supply of coal as fuel. The trestle
work is approached by an inclined
plane. up which the loaded cars are
pushed, and the contents of which are
then dumped into chambers prepared
below. Thirteen spouts carry the coal
to the locomotive tenders, which are
loaded in minute or so, an operation
hitherto done by hand and occupying
sometimes half an hour-an engine
taking two and a half to three tons OF
coal. As now arranged, the spouts or
shoots measure accurately the coal de-
hvered to each engine, and the entire
arrangement is wondrous economy OF
time and labor. - a4

Chinese, many of the latter being
women and boys. The men earn on an
average nine dollars week, and some
can make as high as twelve dollars q
week. The women and boys can earn
about four dollars week. The wages
are earned under American employers,
while the Chinese employers
only pay two-thirds OF the
above rates. The number of cigars
made in San Francisco amount every
year to about sixty millions, worth 81,
5OO,OOO There is in San Francisco
seventy-two cigar factories, Of which
thirty two are owned by Americans and
twenty eight by Chinese. The Chinese,
when first arriving in San Francisco,
work for three months without wages.
until they have learned cigar making,
and then receive from four to SIX dollars
week, from employers of their owl
nation. At the first opportunity, how
ever, they enter the factories conducted
by Americans, and are paid from eight
to ten dollars the thousand cigars, al
these rates earning nine dollars week
The board paid by the Chinese averages
three dollars and half week.
A FEW months ago one Of the clerks
