were at first skcptical as to her me-
chanical ability, but she has cured
them of this by going daily and work

and improving plans with keener
eye than any man in the shop. Her

one, and she will make handsome

for me. couldn't see any sense in
ccddling bits of porcelaia with sense-

.'Last week the Frenchman who at

San Jacinto valley, dispatched a large
mountain lion in a somewhat novel
manner. A dog belonging to the shep-
herd got on the track of lion and
following him up forced him to find
quarters in between two large rocks.
The dog coming to bay the shepherd

stated. Taking his long staff he bold

Those who attended the lecture

Thursday evening, expecting q display
of oratory, were signally disappointed.
The lecture was read from manuscript.
the lecturer having his watch before
him. and, apparently, reading sgainst
time. His utterance was SO rapid that
many words could not be understood
half way across the hall. An essay
which should have taken an hour and
a half or two hours in its delivery, was
crowded into sixty to sixty-five min
utes. Whether Mr.. Schnrz was in
haste to get away on the 8 9:l5 train, as
some say, or whether it his usual GUS
tom to rush through his discourse in
that gallopiDg way, We are unable 10
tell.
The lecture, though delivered in a
style that poorly comports with the
honorable gentleman's reputation as
an orator. was fairly composed, and
contained many things well worth lis
tening to. Its analysis OF German and
French character, its bits Of biography
and personal descriptions, and its his.
torical illusions, were interesting. W.
are sorry to say, however, that It was
marred by the frequent use OF cam
paign catch-words, inuendoes, ani
comparisons not at all complimentary,
to the American people or their gov.
ernment.

even the name Of Senator Harlan
throws the party into terrible spasms,
in which he raves most pitifully. Tits
indeed . sad sight to see the youthful

that the subject of this dreadful dis
ease, labors all along under the hallu-

sense, which is the direct cause of the
disease, and yet the political ghost Of
the Senator will not down; it haunts
the poor man continuously, and fol-

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Man Run over ny . Locomotive nnS
Instantly Killed-A NOrribie Saght.

Man Run over NY . Locomotive nnd
INSTANTLY kilted-A Horrible sight.
About four o'clock yesterday AFTER
noon Peter Laux, a German boy. six
teen or eighteen years of age. was run
over by locomotive on the northern
most track of the b. 4 NJ, about halt
way between Main and Third streets.
The young man had been in this coun-
try only two or three months, and was
at work in the blacksmitt's shop of j.
G. Fink on Third street. He had been
with his employer to do some work at
Mr.. Thul's, on the corner of Main and
and Market streets. Mr.. Fink return
ed to the shop by the way Of Valley
street, and Mr.. Laux took the nearer
way along the railroad track. When
he reached the point above named he
was run over by engine No. IS, Thos.
Eagen, engineer, who had been down
to the water tank and was backing up
towards the engine house. Mr.. Eagen
and also the acting fireman. testified at
the inquest held by Coroner Haw. that
that neither Of them saw the young
man on the track AMI did not know
that he had been killed until somtime
afterward. And singularly enough,
although the accident occurred near
the busiest part OF town, with several
men at work on the new building
scarcely fifty feet from the spot, no.
body, SO far as could be asccrtained
saw the accident al the time Of its oc-
currence. The engineer and fireman
both testified that the bell was rung as
usual. The tender was heaped with
coal and they could not see over il.
The body OF the young man was
terribly mutiiatcd. His head was lit
orally crushed TO pieces, the wheels
having passed sqnsrely oyerit, leaving
enough Of the outlines OF the face,
however. so that il could be recognize
ed. The body was also torn to pieces,
having been, apparently. crushed and
mRnglcd underline ash-box. The right
hand was cut of aud one leg broken.
The sight was ghastly one, indeed.
and few could look upon it without
shuddering. 1t would seem, from the
appearance of the remains, that Mr..
Laux was walking ou the track. and
that when he fell his head lay on the
rail. and that he was killed instantly
without word or groan. The de-
ceased had a brother and sister here,
the former being at work for Mr.. Pat
terson, south of town.
The accident should remind people
OF the danger there always is in walk
| ing on "A railroad track. And il should
also remind engineers. watchmena
switchmen and Others who have to do
with running locomotives and trains
that they cannot exercise too much
care. burlington Ha,rk-Eye, 20h.
