From the Times,
The Leading Events of Colonel
Forney's Career as q Public Man.
John w. Forney was born In Lancas-
ter, September 80, 1917, and was there
fore little over sixty four years old at
the time of his death. His early educa.
ton was acquired In the common schools
and while yet boy he made his choice
OF an avocation which became his life
career and entered the office OF the Lam
caster Journal as an apprentice. he
developed rapidly into good printer
and something more--a man Of ideas.
AT sixteen he made speeches for free
schools in Lancaster and at the age oil
twenty he purchased the Lancaster Intel.
ltgencer, then, as now, one Of the lead.
ing Democratic papers OF the State. Be-
fore he himself could vote he was WELD
ing strong influence over bis patty In
the interior counties and he soon bought
and consolidated with his paper the
Journal, with which ha had been fret
connected. In 1889 he was appointed
Prothonotary OF Lancaster county, bat
soon resigned and continued to conduct
bis paper personally until 1915, when be
was appointed by President Polk Deputy
Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia,
and removed to this city. Almost sim
ultaneously with his coming here he
bought half interest In the Pennsylud-
nidn, The Democratic organ Of the State,
which he retained for eight years. In
1851 he was elected Clerk of the House
Of Representatives and took up his resi-.
dence in Washington, where he became
also editor Of the Union for five
years.
On the nomination of Buchanan for
the Presidency, in 1856, Colonel For
ney was recalled to Pennsylvania to
act as chairman of the Democratic
State committee, in which position he
contributed greatly to Mr.. Buchanan's
election. In the Senatorial election
of the following winter (185D Col
Forney received the regular Demo-
cratic nomination, but was defeated
by Simon Cameron. Soon after his
friendly relations with President
Buchanan were broken, and Colonel
Forney Joined the Free SOIL party and
subsequently became an sctive and
influential Republican. Meanwhile,
on August 1, 1857, he started the
Press in this city and two years later

From the times Of David, King Of
the United Tribe of Judes, author oil
the Psslins, and from those Of James
OF England, author Of the Counter
blast" down to Napoleon III, author
o. the 'Life Of Cssar," the public has
taken the greatest IN the works Of that
class Of men whose books were first
catalogued by Horace Walpole more
than o century ago. Royal authors,
indeed, are not so rare as one might
think, and, as q glance OF Walpole's
list will show ; bat book by q king
carries with 1t such intrinsic authority
from has positions that his words
are carefully weighed by many read
ers.
"The Real Missions of Sovereigns, y
by One of Them, which is attributed
to that eccentric, Louis of Bavaria,
who prides himself on Initiating thai
great Louis of France who was only
great in name, is therefore an event
In the book annals OF to-day. So far
as the meagre extracts 60 which have
reached this country, his Royal Maj
esty seems rather to have been close
student of that much misunderstood
man, Macchiavelli. His eighteenth
chapter of 1.-The Prince" on "whetber
Princes ought to be faithful to their
engagements" has made for Niccelo
Macchiavelli name synonymous
with "the Old Nick" but his lmitator,
Louis of Ravaria, will not set the
world on fire nor kings by the ears.
For example, he says "The subjects
Of force, our sole possible policy is to
make ourselves masters of it, else il
will master us and our only practical
activity is diplomaiicomilitary COM
petition, at once interdynastic and
international, the triumph of which,
ever ephemeral, costs as much from
every point of view az defeat ITSELF"
Compare this with Macchiavelli's dicta
that the true foundation of every enter
prise of Prince 10 q national army !;
that force must be constantly used,
that 1t is necessary to cultivate the
closest relation, civil and military,
with neighboring princes-elaborate
expeditions of which points are to be
found in his second and last chapter
and u will be seen that the new royal
author has absorbed the work OF
his old noble predecessor to a great
extent, and this quotation is only one
of many which can be found to tally.

1862 The Chronicle was changed to
q daily and the solicitation Of both
papers went on through the war
under Colonel Forney's personal care
and supervision. In 1851 he was
elected Secretary Of the United States
Senate and held that office for several
years, transferring to johnson the
support oflhis newspapers, which had
so cordially sustained Lincoln, bat

Don't Talk Loudly.

Nothing marks true gentleman or
lady more surely than low voice, and
q man can have 1t as well as woman.
A loud voice either arises from extreme
carelessness or from low breeding. No

street who talks In loud voice. The
same rules applies to boys and girls.

A Brakeman Killed.

He Falls Between the Cars of Freight
Trafn-Crushed to Death and Thrown
Into the AOusatOnic River.
One of those sad accidents that often oc-
cur on the various railroads in the country
whereby the life of an employe is sacrificed
occurred on Sunday morning, about quar-
ter before O'Clock, on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad lat the bridge
which crosses the Housatonic river at the
Naugatuck junction. The victim in this case
was a brakeman on Conductor Kidder's
freight train from New York, which reaches
this city about 3 a. M, and his name was
William FL. Walsh. He was not missed until
the train reached New Haven, and then,
when it was found that he was not on the
train, Brakeman Phillips and two others re-
turned on the ''owl'' train to search for him.
They rode on the locomotive and kept
sharp lookout for his body beside the track,
and on reaching Naugatuck junction they
left the train, knowing he was seen about
the time his train crossed the bridge. Soon
as daylight appeared they made a search, and
soon discovered the body in the river, under
the bridge. They brought it ashore, and the
u1Ik Cralu yesterday mOEu1uS DrOuSut IAo
remains to this city, and they were taken to
Blair's undertaking establishment. It was
found that the neck back and one arm of the
unfortunate man were broken and
he was otherwise terribly bruised and
mangled. 1t is supposed that in attempting
to pass from the top of one car to the plat
form of another that he fell between them
and the remainder of the train passed over
him causing instant death, and that being on
the bridge at the time of the accident he fell
into the river below. The deceased was
about 81 years of age and was married about
six weeks ago. He had been in the employ
of the Consolidated road about four months,
coming to it from the Canal road He was
considered an honest and faithful employe of
the road and had many friends who will re-
greet to learn of his sudden and untimely
death. His funeral will be attended from
his late residence No. Sc Martin street, to-
morrow tuesday, afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
