Earl Granville, the Foreign Secretary,
in dispatch to Chalnette !. cour, the
French Amb issalor here, fated yester.
day, explains the views oi the govern.
ment in regard 10 the action OF the
French in Tunis and their treaty with
the Bey. He states that the government
does not wish TO lay too much stress on
Inconsistencies OF language in converse
ton, or on the serious reasons given at
Paris and Tunis for French Intervention;
but he says it can hardly be doubted
that the,,treaty with Tunis goes far beyond
any question OF security to the frontier,
and amounts practically to a protector.

Earl Granville adds: "In order that
there may be no misapprehension the
general convention OF July, 1875, be.
tween Great Britain and Tunis remains

British subjects, vessels, commerce and

DOWN BRAKES
Death OF Col. T. A. Scott, the
Great Pennsylvania Railroad
King.

Great Pennsylvania Railroad
King.
CLIFTON. Pa May 2l.-Col. Thos. A.
Scott died at nine o'clock this evening.
After sinking rapidly during the after.
noon, he fell into state OF total uncon-
sci BUSINESS at seven o'clock, and remained
so until the minute Of his final dissolu-
ton. He was surrounded at the last
moment by the members OF his family
and several officers OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Brief sketch Of His Career.
Col. Thos. A. Scott was born at Lou.
den, Pa, fifty years ago. His father was
a mechanic, who died while he was yet
a minor. In lSil Mr.. Scott secured
position as clerk in the Office Of the Col.
lector OF Tolls at Columbia, at that time
the terminus of the Pennsylvania rail.
road. In lSi7 he was transferred to the
office OF Collector OF Tolls on the State
main line in Philadelphia. In l849 or
thereabouts he was appointed station
agent at Duncansville, where freight and
passengers moved over the State line were
transferred to the lines OF the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad Company. Here he be-
gan his first official connection with the
road. From this point he was next ap
pointed superintendent OF the Western
division, and in 1858 was promoted to
the office OF General Superintendent OF
the entire line. In 1850, on the death
OF William b. Foster, Vice President OF
the company, Colonel Scott was elected
his successor. In 1861, and during the
war, his enterprise and activity in rail:
road matters caused him TO be selected
by the Government as General Superin.
tendent of the transportation OF troops
TO different points, and in May, 1851, he
was henored by his appointment
to the Colonelcy OF the Dis.
trict of Columbia volunteers and
placed in charge OF all Government rail-
ways and telegraph lines and such as
might be taken for Government use
The invaluable service he rendered In
this capacity, led during the same year,
to his appointment as Assistant Secreta'
~ OF War, which Office he resigned the
next year 10 resume his duties as Vice.
Pr 9 de mt OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. In 1868 he was appointed
Colonel and Assistant Quartermaster on
General Hooker's staff, rendering
prompt and valuable service TO the
country. This year ended his official
participation in government affairs,
and upon retiring from the army
he sgtin resumed his official rela.
tons with the Pennsylvania company.
In 1877, owing to the expansion oil the
the company's interests, it was deemed
advisable to form a special company for
the direction OF all the lines OF the road
west OF Pittsburgh. The or1anization
was styled the Pennsylvania Company,
and Col. Scott was elected President, q
position he has filed without Interrupt
ton until the present. In 1874, upon
the death OF J. Edgar Thompson, its
former President, Col. Scott was chosen
President OF the entire corporation. he
was the pioneer and originator of the
Texas Pacific Railroad. in which enter
prise he took deep interest, and was
always sanguine Of fts complete success.

snake story: while Mr.. and Mrs Jno.
Gibson were engaged in their garden,
leaving an Infan, child in a crib in the
house, larye snake entered the room,
and when Mrs. G.. returned she was
horror stricken to find the huge mon
ster in the very act OF eneircling the
child in its fatal coils. With great pres
encs of mind Mrs. q attacked the
snake and her screams soon brought
Mr.. Gibson 10 the rescue, and the two
managed to kill the snake before it

the snake was nine feet and three inches

the good work goes bravely on. A very
spirited meeting was held last night at

temperance worker, delivered one Of

nation received by her from ali parts OF
the country, she thought the friends OF
the good cause ought to rejoice, and be

which is assured at no distant day. In
answer to repeated calls Rev. g. G. Wild.
