Rudolph krauter's Fatal Fall From o Rail-
road Bridge

Rudolph Krauter's Fatal Fall From q Rail
road Bridge.
The following item appeared in the
Philadelphia Times of Tuesday last
''The body of an unknown man, appar-
emily 30 years old, was found beneath the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge at Sixty
third street, whence he had probably fall
ell. at 6 O'Clock yesterday morning. 1t
was taken to the morguc. The deceased
was five feet nine inches high, with brown
lnOustache and hair, and attired in a Derby
hat, black overcoat, black Chesterfield
coat, brown diagonal trousers, white shirt
and CATERS. He had brass watch and
chain, Docket-book containing q small
sum Of money and card with the name
Rudolph Krouder written upon it. This
name is not in the directory"
Yesterday the following appeared in the
Times:
''The inquiry by tho coroner into the cir
cumstances attending the death of the un-
identified young man, who was found dead
with his skull crushed in, under the Penn
sylvania railroad bridge at Sixty third
street, on Monday, failed to produce any
evidence concerning the manner in which
the accident happened. 1t was surmised
that he attempted to walk across the bridge
and tumbled through in the darkness.
The jury found a verdict of accidental
death. Deceased is supposed to be from
Baltimore because he had business cards
of firms in that city"
These items coming to the notice of Mr..
Christian Liller, the well-known barber on
North Queen street, this city, he wrote to
his son William, now working in Philadel-
phia, to go to the morgue and see if the
dead man was Rudolph Krauter, who had
worked for Mr.. Liller for several years
and left his employ for the last time just
three weeks ago to-day.
This morning Mr.. Liller had q letter
from his son, in which he says he went to
the morgue yesterday as requested; he
asked to be shown the body that had not
been identified, and was shown to wagon
at the door, which was just ready to con-
vey it to the place of burial. The box be-
ing opened he recognized its contents as
the mansled body Of Rudolph Krauter {;
the left side of the face was battered and
the head mashed, but the features were
recognized rs those of Mr.. Liller's former
workman.
Deceased was 4 native of Zurich, Switz-
erland, 81 years Of age, unmarried, and
without relatives in this country. He
landed in America in 1877 and first found
employment at Mr.. Liller's. After work
ing for him a year he left, and resumed
employment with him in September, 1879,
in which he continued until Thursday,
November. 1S, 1880, when he left and
went to Philadelphia. He was q good
workman, but as his tools were found with
his dead body it is supposed he had found
no engagement since leaving Lancaster.

A street car, containing about twenty
passengers was struck by locomotive at
a railroad crossing in Chicago. on Tuesday

A lunatic was found running wild in the
woods near Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on
Tuesday, so badly frozen that both legs
and arps had to be amputated. He was
identified as one of the patients who es-
capped from the St. Peters asylum. in Min
nesota, when it was. burned. How he
managed to work his way to the place
where he was found is mystery.
Chicogo adopted an ordinance that the
street car companies should pay a license
fee Of $50 year on every car used. The
car people refused to obey. and during two
years have not paid dollar. Judge Drum
mond has now decided that the ordinance
is valid as police regulation, and may be
enforced: The companies claim that their
charters give them the full right to run
cars. The matter will be appealed.

Yesterday afternoon Lewis Ziegler, Of
No. 524 North street, who is employed as
an iron straightener ut the Penn iron works,
met with a rather queer accident. He
went up on a ladder to adjust belt on
pulley, and while engaged in doing this
his clothing was caught in another belt.
He was whirled around the shaft several
times. Finally his clothing gave way and
he fell to the floor of the mill, a distance of
8 or 10 feet. He was picked up and taken
to his home where Dr.. Carpenter attended
him. He was found to have had his spine
injured, but not seriously, s~.,--'.

AN important feature in the regulations
Of Rugby, in Tennessee, is that no intoxi-

Brown" and his helpers have made that
absolute. Two sharpers came there, on

tablisled each his gros shop. They wonld
heed no rcmOnstrance. but insisted upon
their right. A general law of Tennessee
forbids the liquor traffic within three miles
of an educational establishment. Mr..
Hughes took advantage of this, and immc-
diately built a school-house beside them,
and they were thus forced to decamp.

JUDGE BEATTY.
The speaker referred to Judge Beatty,
and paid high and deserved compli-
nent to his ability and integrity, but
said that commanding influences do not
want him reelected.
He then referred to himself, and re-
marked that he would do all that his
ability could command for the State.
Thirty-one years ago he crossed the
continent with fit companions, the
greatest men who ever blazed the way
of empire, and invoked blessing on
the old-timers. He thought this coast
was fitting place for man to live and
for man to die, and when his time
came he wanted inscribed on his cpl

incapable of self-government. Demo-
Gratis say that the mission of the Re-
publican party is fulfilled; he differed
with them in this view Of the case.
D. o. ADDISON
Was then introduced to the audience.
He apologized for his voice and person
al appearance, and said Mr.. Daggett had
left him nothing to say. He warmly
commended Mr.. Daggett for doing his
duty; he wanted him sent back to
Congress and tried again. He COM
pared Hancock to JEFF. Davis, and made
the Confederate Chief appear the better
man of the two. He said Hancock was
paid for doing what he did, and was
entitled to no credit for fighting for the
Union. [This remark came with bad
grace from Mr.. Addison, who, as Post
master in Virginia City, has been living
on Government pap for sixteen or
eighteen years past. -REP.
He then referred to English, the
Democratic nominee for Vice Presi-
dent. whom he said voted to remove
soldiers from Washington city and
leave the Capital in control Of rebel
police. Mr.. Addison probably was not
aware that Mr.. English has not been in
Congress since Fort Sumpter was fired
upon, or perhapshe didnot care whether
he was OF not if he could make his
! hearers believe he was a rebel. As Mr..
Addison is only anxious for the defeat
of Hancock and English, so as TO con-
tinue feeding at the public crib four
years longer, he only referred to Mr..
Daggett and jeff Davis, whom he com
plimented, and to Hancock and English

nearly sevcriDg it just below the elbow.
Hogan ran down stairs and met some young
men near the door. One of them, John
Thompson, asked him if he had assaulted a
woman, and Hogan retaliated by cutting him
with the weapon in his hand, below the
stomach downward, with tremendous force,
and cut from the upper part Of the left breast
down to the navel. cutting into the lung and
intestines so that the stomach and intestines
protruded. Both parties were taken to the
hospital and Hogan was arrested. Thompson

Negro Iyuched.

BALTIMORE, July %. John Diggs, negro,
who brutality outraged Mrs. James Tzchifcly.
Saturday night, near Dainestown, was cap
turcd last night and lodged in Rockville Jail.
At 1 o'clock this morning, so men appeared
at the Jail, and one of them demanded admis-
sion on the plea of Identification. Sheriff
kilchner refused admittance to any, but the
crowd forced an entrance and took the pris-
oner toward South Jamestown. He was
calm and willing to die. He confessed the
crime. but refused to relate details. An OPP
portunity was given him to make peace with
his maker. although he appeared callous as to
this proceeding. The brute's hands and arms
were pinioned, a moose was placed around his
neck, and willing hands lifted his body from
the ground. He made but little resistance.
The body was LEFT hanging. Sheriff Kelch-
ner states that Digs made a full confession
to him, previous to the Jail being forced.
Arrested for Murder.
Michael Maddox was arrested to-day for
killing John Schala, with an axe. Maddox
alleges he found Schala in his (Maddoxs)
wife's chamber.
