thus Of all the female elocutiouisrs
| ever heard she is my FIRST, second and
third choice. She added much 10 the
success o: our Institute here last year."
All other evenings of the Institute
fr.e.
Dr. Shumaksr's lecture, "The Earth
and Man." is said to be an interesting
intellectual treat, and Prof. Raub il
this week very highly spoken of BY
the Huntington papers, where he has
been employed 1--WE times iu succession.
Let all who wish to see educational
work 70 forward attend as much Is pos

AN order has been issued By the
General Superintendent of the Penn
sylvanis Railroad, directing watchmen,
rePairueu, etc., along the line Of that
road, to warn Of their highway all per-
sons who may be found walking thereon.
In view of the terrible record of acci-
dents during the past few weeks. re-
suiting from the tLoughtlessness Of
those who do not seem to realize the
impossibility of locomotive passing
them while they are standing Oh the
track, this order is q wise and timely
one. Ii track walkers have no regard
for their own lives it Is but right that
they should be kept out of danger By
officials of the road, and the watchmen
and other employees might safely be
entrusted with the duty of arresting all
Who may jeopardize their existence in
this manner, ss we'll IS entail costs On
the county, in many instances, for burial
expenses. The dangerous custom
should be discontinued at once.-Er.
On Sunday morning man named
Michael Halpln, formerly OF Holidays
burg, as night boss at Moorhead's mill,
Pittsburg, together with Edward Crow
der, were standing near the blast fur
mace, preparatory to running of the
hot metal. Around the base of the
furnace, and at its front is dan plate,
inside of which is coil Of pipe filed
with water. About six inches from the
tapping hole the molten iron broke
through the dam plate aud burned of
the pipe, which let the water into the
furnace, and an explosion Immediately
followed. The hole through which the
iron had passed, 10 finding its way into
the dam-plate was much enlarged, aud
the result was, the red hot metal rushed
out With great force, striking halpin on
the back, knocking him a considerable
distance, when be fell on the ground
and was literally covered with the
molten mass. Me was rescued By Off
Ger Bruuot, who dragged him from the
place where landed in falling.
On being taken to an adjoining room
it was found that every stitch Of cloth
ing was burned from his body save his
bouts and belt which were badly char
red. His flesh was almost roasted on
the bones and presented frightful
spectacle, having turned coal black,
and . smell was emitted therefrom
which made it almost impossible for
those in attendance to remain near him.
He vas removed to his place Of resi-
dence in Moorhead's row in the Four
teeuth ward, where be WAS attended BY
DR.. j. Murdock, but nothing could be
done for him. At half-past 9 O'Clock
his sufferings we're ended by DEATH
The deceased was a married man, 4S
years Of age, aud leaves q wife aud
nine children to mourn his unrimeiy
end. He had been employed in the
mill for some time, and had always been
q faithful hand and will be much missed
by his employers. ~
The injuries received BY Edward
Crowder are of such nature that it is
feared they will prove fatal. He was
standing BY the side Of Halpin at the
time of the accident, and while the
former received the bulk of the metal
on bis back, the latter was not struck
as fairly, ard as . consequence was not
SO severely hurt. He was thrown quite
distance, however, and was badly
burned on the back Of the head, over
the main part of bis body, and about
the limbs. Tribune.
