II anyone could furnish the world with

there is no such medicine, and 50 the world
will have to got along in some other way.
Some time ago the French government

The Burg larry at Lanes Store.

Ih0 burSIary aC Aouo'S StOFe
The only additional facts that have como
to light regarding the burglary at Lanes
store, in East King street, the particulars
of which were published yesterday, are,
that bunch Of eight or ten skeleton keys,
of all sizes, were found in the alley in rear
Of Coyle's building, where they were evil
IDENTIFY dropped by the burglars, the
handle of the key that had been broken
off in the lock of Lanes vault door being
attached to the bunch. There was also foun
very fine steel lock pick, about eight
inches in length and bent at each end. 1t
was SO thin that it could be inserted into
the lock alongside Of another false key,
and was evidently intended to lift any Of
the wards of of the lock that the key
failed to lift. The keys were at first sur
posed to be duplicates of number Of
other keys in use in Lanes store, but on
closely comparing them they were found
to be of different patterns and would not
unlock any of Lanes doors or drawers.
They had probably done scryicc in other
burglaries.
There is as yet no clew the burglars.
Irquiries at the several hardware stores
show that they did not procure
their brace and bits in Lancaster.

TWO MEN KILLED.
Terrible Fate of a Flagman ana q brakeman n
on tho Pennsylvania Railroad.

Terrible Fate of a Flagman ana q brakeman n
Oh the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Philadelphia Times.
Henry Brown, 45 years old, and George
Flick, s. years of age, train hands Oh
the Pennsylvania railroad, were killed ST.
multaneOusly on the New York division
Of the Pennsylvania railroad about
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Brown was
1agman and Flick brakeman. Both
were natives of Columbia, where Brown
leaves a widow and six children, and his
companion widow and four children.
Tho scene of the calamity was near
Fifticth street. The men had just alight-
cd from the caboose of a freight train,
which was being made up. They stepped
upon Tho adjoining track aud did not notice
the approach of the express from New York.
The train was then too close to apply the
airbrakes OF to warn the men. Brown and
Flick were flung about thirty feet, and
when they struck the earth rebOunded aud
fell mangled corpses. Their skulls were
crushed. clothes torn to shreds and forms
disfigured almost beyond recognition. The
bodies were removed to Undertaken
Wrisht's, at Thirty ty-seventh aud Haverfori
streets, where another fatally injured rail-
road hand had been taken on Monday.
The cOroner's investigation will be made
to-day in order that the remains may be
taken to Columbia for burial.
In addition to the foregoing from the
Times our Columbia correspondent writes:
"Both men reside in Columbia and leave
families here. The engineer of engine No.
81 informed your correspondent this
morning that the men were either stand
ing and talking together on one of the
tracks or that they were walkings to-
ward tlseir trains when New York di-
vision engine with one passenger car at
tached, backed upon them, knocked them
across the track and ran over them. The
bodies were terribly mutilated. Flick was
a man somewhere near thirty years of age.
He leaves wife and two or three children
and an aged mother whose only support he
was. Brown was somewhat older than
Flick and he also leaves a family, but
most of his children are married. He was
carpenter by trade and before going to
railroading had carried it on in Columbia,
where he was well known. At this writ
ing the bodies of tho men have not arrived
here, but they are expected on tho Fred
crick accommodation train due at 3:05
n. m.

The arant Crowd In Co.su,,,s,o,.

The object of the conference between
Grant, COnkling, Cameron and Logan was
to serve notice on Garfield that the Grant
crowd must be taken caro- of or there
would be war. Grant called on the presi-
dent and notified him Of the conclusion ar
rived at and informed him that the Grant
men in the service must be retained.
The cabinet has. 1t is understood, dis
pleased the Grant Conkling men. They
believe now that the price demanded by
Blaine for his support at the critical mo-
ment in Chicago was accepted and is BE-
ing paid. That price was the influence of
the administration to secure the success
sion for Blaine. The Northwest controls
the treasury and the interior: Mr.. Nc
Pherson is to be political power in the
postoftce department VIM. E. Chandler
is to be solicitor general, whose chief Occu-
patton will be drawing the fangs Of Mac
Veagh's independence. 1t is this situation
that has brought about the conference. 1t
is not known what the stalwarts decided
to do. There is some surprise that Elaine
should show his hand thus early. Leading
Democrats predict rough sailing for the
at once. They think that
Conklins will not tamely submit to any
such control Of the patrOna: e of the whole
country by Blaine as the present arrange
ment indicates.

narrow escape from being killed at Bald

Beaver attempted to walk on the foot

missing his hold on the hand railing hc

self he jumped. He alighted on the
north main track. but was thrown from

threw his left arm over the nearest rail

He escaped with a few scratches and
bruises about the body.

depot is stopped up, and as consequence,
