STARING DEATH IN THE FACE.-The
Scranton Republican of Friday has the
following: s'The passengers on a train
on the Lehigh and Susquehanna road
yesterday were startled by the thrilling
situation Of young woman upon the
track, little way from the Pittston
Station. It appears that she was walk
ing along the road, and by some mishap
had her foot caught between two rails.
This, in the presence of an approaching
train, made her p osition most alarming.
She grew white with terror, pulled at
her foot with all her might, and struggl-
el to free herself from what seemed to
be q fearful fate. At length, as the
train approached nearer, she managed,
| BIZ superhuman effort, to tear her foot
away from between the fatal rails, leav-
| ing the shoe that had been omit behind, and
fastening away ID sheer exhaustion from
| the spot. We could not learn her name,
but those who witnessed the incident
Will long remember that wonan's agony
as she seemed to stare death IN the
| face"

HOTEL CHARGES.
How 3 Pennsylvania Man Taught the
West Finanoiering.
from the York penn Democrat.l ]

From the York penn Democrat.l
Not long since two York men visited
Kansas. They stopped at hotel one
forenoon, and after dinner one of them
walked down to the barber's shop to be
shaved. TIE shop WAS shut, the barber
ha virg gone off to take his after dinner
nap. Then theYork man walked back
TO ms landlord and said, ''With your
mag --icent country, which IS the gar
den OF the world, you ought to be most the
prosperous people ON earth. That you
are not is due to the fact that you don't
attend to business. You don't look out
for coppers Here's yo1lr barber now,
shut up aud gone when he might have
earned ten cents by shaving me. Now
he don't get it, for I'm going to shave
myself, and save my cents. [ have a
razor in my yaiise, and if you will show
me a-nirror, [ will shave myself" The
landlord said the barber was q shiftless,
cuss, who, like most Western men,
couldn't compare with Pennsylvanians
for attention to business, and patience
in scooping in the dimes; but he hoped
they would all improve in time, and
then he showed our friend into o room
where he found q good-sized mirror. and
shaved himself. Soon after, he joined
his eomprnion and congratulated himself
on the success he had in saving ten cents,
and teaching Western men fnanciering.
After tea the pair paid their bills and
went to the depot to take the train. On
their way the man who hadn't shaved
said, ''Pretty reasonable house, that;
only dollar for dinner and supper"
ssOnly a dollar !" said the other, "why
I paid dollar and half" and little
further explanation showed that he had
been charged fifty per cent more than
his companion. So back he went and
demanded of the landlord an explana
ton, and got it in these words: "The
fifty cents extra is for the use of O room.
You don't suppose we can have our
rooms turned into barber shops for
nothing, do yop?" and the man who
shaved himself went to the depot sad
der if not better man. He doesn't
brag much of his return to York and it
will be some time before he attempts to
give another Western man lesson in
hnanciering.

A CURIOUS ROMAEOE.

Norfolk street, Strand, says the Lon
don Court Journal, has curious COM
memorative monument. An observant
spectator will notice that the first floor
windows Of large house at the corner
of Howard street present a peculiar ap-
pearance. The shutters are up, and they
are covered thickly with dust, while
through the chinks can be seen the blinds
also thick with dust, and moldering
away with age. The shutters and blinds
have been in exactly the same position,
untouched, for about fifty years. Dur
ing that time no human foot, it is be-
ieved, has entered the room, And the
reason is this: Fifty years ago GER
tain nobleman was engaged to be mar
ried, the day was fixed, the wedding
morning arrived, the breakfast was laid
out in that spacious and handsome room,
the bridegroom was ready to proceed to
church, when it was discovered that the
bride was missing note in her hand
writing was found addressed to the bride
groom, briefly Informing him that she
had eloped that morning with ''his best
man." a gay and gallant captain of dra-
goons. The Tilted bridegroom did not
say much but he went alone to the
room in which the wedding breakfast
was laid out, and with his own hands
put up the shutters and drew the blinds,
locked the door, and took the key. He
gave orders that the door should be nail
ed up and barred with padlocked bars,
and that 10 one should enter the room
again. When the house was let, it was
stipulated that the room in question
should remain untouched, and sum OF
5000 per annum was paid to the tenant
to compensate him for the deprivation
of the use of the room. The nobleman
has been dead some years, but it is be-
ieved the room has never been entered
since he closed it, and there are the
'swedding meats" mouldering silently
away, and the ornaments crumbling into
dust in the funeral room.

At last man walked down and sat
down close to that bush and put pipe
TO his mouth and Lit a match and follow
ed me with ono eye and kept the other
on the match, while he sheltered it in
his hand from the wind. Presently a
puff of wind blew it out.
The next time I swept around him he
said
| ''Got match %
''Yes-in my other vest. Help me
ont, please, %
''Not for Joe.''
When I came around again I said
''Excuse the seemingly impertinent
curiosity Of a drowning man, but will
you explain this singular conduct of
yours ?''
''With pleasure. L am the coroner.
Don't hurry on my account. I can wait
for you. 1 wish I had match"

He declined. This lack of confidence
us, and from that time forward I avoid
ed him.
1t was my idea, in case anything hap
pened to me, to SO time the occurrence
as to throw my custom into the hands of
the opposition coroner over on the
American side.
AT last policeman came along and
arrested me for disturbing the peace by
yelling for help.
The judge fined me, but I had the
advantage of him. My money was with
my pantaloons, which were with the In
dams.
Thus I escaped. am now lying in a
very critical condition. At least 1 am

I am hurt all over, but [ can not tell

evening. However, thus far, he thinks

A SCENEIN THE sHERIFFs OFFICE,
[From the San Francisco Can.l


The rewly-electad Sheriff was sitting
in his Office sad-eyed and haggard. He
held i'll his hand a stack of manuscript
representing the applications of S79
candidates for position OF Deputy
Sheriff, each of whom said lie had
worked for him at the polls, and had
gained him ali the way up from 2G0 to
LOGO votes from their personal friends
who did not vote the Democratic ticket.
\ man attired in blue shirt, with a
paper collar and a red nose, entered the
Office, and, grasping the hand OF the
lired Official. greeted him cordially.
':Ah Mr.. Sheriff, but it's glad am to
see you looking so hearty, don't you re-
member me %
81 don't think [ do" remarked the
official, ''although there is something
in your face which is familiar to me-
:'Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, I thought you'd
know me. L worked for you all day
election, and got you thousand votes,
and come for that place.
'sWell, am sorry to say that I have
already promised all tho places ct my
disposal
ooh, give me place; I don't care
what it is"
''Oh, by the by" said the Sheriff,
with a malicious grin in his eye, ''there
is place, but it's not worth much, and
1 don't think you'd take it. %
"Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, I'll take anything;
L don't care what kind of place it is.
Tell NE what it is, and I'll Jump at it
with my coat off.
CAN right" said the Sheriff; ssthere
is Chinaman going to be hanged at
the jail next month, and he wants some
body to take his place. think it will
just suit you"
The man with the red nose ceased to
smile, and, asking the Sheriff for q
quarter to pay for his lodging that
night, he left the Office and mingled
with the throng of would-be Deputy
Sheriffs on the outside.
