RAILROAD ACCIDENT Last evening
the g. 40 p. m. train out of Philadelphia,
ran over man near Sharon Hill and cut
off his left leg just below the knee, and
otherwise injured him. Just before he
was struck he was seen by the fireman
walking along the track, and after he
had been struck he informed the engi-
neer, who stopped the train, and going
back found him lying along the track
He wa3 put on board the train and
taken to Chester, where medical aid was
summoned.
He gave his name as Harry Heacock,
but owing to tho loss of blood, and the
weak condition in which he was in, no
information as to where he lived, or
whether he was a married man could be
obtained. 1t is thought by those who
saw him that he cannot recover.

A Bold Robbery.
THE HOUSE OF A FARMER LIVING
NEAR FAULKLANp ENTERED AND
ROBBED OF OVER $4,000

ROBBED OF OVER $4,000
The house of Mr.. David Graves, near
Falkland, Del, was entered some time
this morning and robbed.
Shortly after 12 o'clock this morning a
neighbbr of Graves, who was un we'll and
had arisen from her bed and was sitting
on his porch, and while there he noticed
three men walking towards Mr.. Graves
house, and getting over ths fence contin-
ued up to the house, when he lost sight
of them.
The thieves gained an entrance through
the cellar, after which they proceeded
through the whole house, a. in every
room the bureaus, Stands and clothes
presses were ransacked, and the coutents
Scattered over the floor. 'I
No one was in the house at the time
except Mr.. Graves, his wife and grandson
The thieves went into the room occupied
by Mr.. Graves and rified the contents of
his pants pockets, getting small amount
of change.
Going to his desk they succeeded in
bonds and several notes. They also found
about 500 In cash, and his silver watch,
also a gold stud belonging to his gra lds
son.
After the thieves had gone over the
house, they returned to the cellar and
partook Of lunch consisting of pie and
milk.
Strange as it may seem none of the oc-
cupants of the house heard the thieves al
their work, or awoke while they were in
the house.
The bonds were. all recorded at New
Castle, and of course are of no use tc
the robbers. The notes were not en-.
dorsed.
Mr.. Graves has no suspicion as to who
the robbers were.
The bonds bears the signatures of The
following persons: Bennett j. Clair
Lewis McElwee, Arnold Il Naudain
Mrs. Clair; and the notes by John A
Cranston, William G. Phillips & Bro.
James Bradford, Ephriam Megargee e
The mum Der of the watch is 283, 800 Amer
lean lever.
We are requested by Mr.. Graves t.
warn all persons from negotiating any o
the above named bonds or notes.
Mr.. Graves is of the opinion that tn
thieves drugged the family, as he fel
very drowsy this morning when he arose

WAsHINeToN, July 19.-There has
been an uneasy feeling in administra-
tion circles to-day over a statement
made apparently by authority that GER
tain members of the national commit
tee have decided to take issue with the
President on the question of forcing
them 10 resign their federal offices or
retire from the committee. Such q
course was alluded to in the dispatch
In to-day's Sun. and the determir alton
to fight the President on the issue in
volyed has occasioned no very general
surprise. 1t is conreded by the Presi-
dents town friends that he can't make
a successful fight against the national
committee, for such in reality it would
be.

"EGYPT's WHEAT CRoP."- Hon. j..
U. Dennis shipped his crop of wheat
from his egypt farm" on last Tuesday
to Philadelphia. He sowed 97a bushels
last fall. OF this, 62a bushels was in
tallowed land. The balance, 35 bushels,
was sowed after corn and did not come
up until this spring lie shipped by rail
to Philadelphia 1900 bushels of cleaned
up wheat. This is an average Yell OF
13b bushels to the bushel of sowing.
" hen we take into consideration the
fact that 35 bushels was sowed after corn
and did not come up until the spring and
the further fact that full five acres fell
down from rankness just before it head
ed out, and which was total loss, this
yield Of nearly ID bushels to on so large
a crop is very good yield.-1rue Mary
lander.
PERsoNAL.-George Fisher of this city
but who has been playing third base for

Base Ball.
TORS CARRY HOME NINE LITTLE
GOOSE EGGS.

GOOSE EGGS.
Another feather has been added to the
cap of the Qmckstep club by the game
yesterday afternoon,
The visiting club having learned of the
defeat of the Defiance club the day be
fore by our home team, and being very
desirous of defeating the Quicksteps
brought down with them the strongest
team that they could procure in Camden,
and Philadelphia, including the celebra>
ted pitcher of the Philadelphia b. b.
club.
All who witnessed the game cannot
but admit that it was beyond doubt the
finest exhibition of skill in handling the
hall, that has ever been seen in this city,
the home team making only two errors
during the game, and one of them was
excusable.
All of "our boys" deserve praise for
their gentlemanly conduct on the field,
and for their excellent playing. Carl
caught throught the game without au
error and his lightning and accurate
throws to second SO baffled the visitors
that after one or two innings they did
not attempt to run on him. Strattons
pitching was very effective only four
base hits being n ade off of him. 1t is
certainly pleasure to see Blogg at first,
he does not allow bail to pass. M n~
cher at left field seems to play all over
the field, and does it without an error
There is certainly no better short stop in
the country they say. When ball
is knocked in his direction he does not
wait for the ball to reach him but goes
to it. Butler at the second is host OF
himself
The following was the score by inn
ing.
INNINGS 1 2 3 A 8 6 IS 8

Nathan 90 0 90 0 0 0 GO

now REVERDY JOHNSON BE
COME A ATTORNEY GENERAL.

In sketch of the career OF the lat,
Rovcrdy johnson, the New York Pos
relates the following:
Mr.. VIM. Ballard Preston, of vir
ginia, was from the first an active par
tisan OF General Taylor, and in one o.
his speeches boasted that he had beer
the first man in the country 10 "mounl
Old Whitley and show off his PAGES.
As a return for his services to the par
ty and to the President, Gen. Taylor
with small knowledge OF men, deter.
mined to make Preston Attorney Gen.
eral. His advisers among the Whig
Senators demonstrated, urging Pres
tons lack OF great legal ability and
learning, bat all to no purpose. Taylor
was immovablc.
William S. Archer, Senator from
Virginia, finally took tho matter in
hand, and, calling upon the President,
held brief but characteristic conver.
sation with him on the subject.
II hear" he said, "that you think Of
making my irithu Preston your AT.
torncy General
"Yes,' replied Taylor, Il do"
Are you aware Of tho fact" con.
tinued the Senator, "that an Attorney
General must represent the Govern.
ment in the Supreme Court7"
"Oi course" replied Taylor.
"Do you know that be must there
meet Daniel Webster and Reverdy
johnson as opposing counseif"
Certainly" replied Taylor, "what

Nothing, except that they win make

Without another word the Virginia
Senator took his leave, bnt he had
made tho desired impression. Preston
was appointed to another place, and

take the early train from Providence
TO Boston aud for this purpose ros'

uuearlhly clank aud rush of tho train
1t was u mild, serene midsummer
night the sky was without Il cloud
tho wind was low. The moon, then il
the last quarter had just risen. and
the stars shone with spectral lustr,
but little affected 10y her presence; Ju
mtcr, two hours high, was the herald
Of the day the Pleiades, Just above

in the east Lyra sparkled near tn,

discovered glories from the naked cy,
in the south; the steady Pointers, ial
beneath the pole, looked meekly ul
from the depths Of the north to theiI
sovereign.
Such was the glorious spectacle as !
entered the tram. As we proceed
ed the timid approach. OF twilight be.
came more percepliblei the intense
blue of the sky began TO soften, the
smullcr stars, like lillle children, went
first to rest; the sister beams OF the
Pleiados soon melted together; but the
bright consultations of the West and
the North remained unchanged. Stead
lily the wondrous TRANSPORTATION went
on. Hands of angels hidden from NOR.
tai eyes shifted the scenery of the
heavens; the gloriesof night dissolved
into the glores Of the dawn. The
blue skylnow turned more softly gray
the great waich-stars shut up their
holy eyes the East began to kindle.
Faint strcaks of purple soon blushed
along the sky, the whole celestial con.
cave was filled with tho inhowing tides
Of the morning light, which came

Blue Hills, flash of purple fire blazcd
