A HerO1c Death.

I've Brothers, Railroad Workers, sacri- flee Their Lives to Save Those of Others.
 P1rrsBURG, Pa, March 24-Two workmen on the Baltimore and Ohio road to day gave wonderful evidence of their fidelity, delib- erately choosing death to themselves in order to protect the lives of hundred others who were in the care of the'company. About 2:3O this afternoon John Sullivan and his brother Michael were at work on the track near Dem Ter station John Sullivan was the section boss of the sub division between McKeesport and Port Perry, and he had made tour along the track to see if everything was in proper condition. He found a rail that was not quite straight, so he and his brother took a heavy trackman's crowbar and lifted the rail up to straighten it.
 While they were busily at work the after noon accommodation train bound east with a heavy load of passengers came along. There was curve just below the place where the men were working, and they did not see the train until it was almost upon them. They took in the situation at glance. The rail which they had been fixing was lifted up and the huge crowbar was wedged tightly in such a position that the train would certainly be thrown from the track unless the bar were removed. On one side of the track was a hill and on the other steep bank running down to the river, so if the train was thrown from the track while under full headwey of steam there would undoubtedly be an ap- palling loss of life.
 The men seized the bar and began franti- cally to pull and twist 1t about. The engineer of the train saw them, but could not stop. He says that their efforts to free the crowbar and lower the rail were frantic and like the workings of madmen, and they seemed to forget their own danger. The bar was 1oosened and the rail lowered just as the train reached it, but the men who had done so nobly paid dearly for their daring. The en- zine struck them and killed John instantly, and mangled Michael so frightfully that he died in short time. The men were married and leave families

Wonders of the Moon.
Interesting Exhibition and Explanatory Lecture at Steinway Hall.

 Lecture at Steinway Hall.
 lFrom the New York Herald.J
 The daily matinee and evening exhibitions at Steinway Hall of R1verton's colossal moon are rapidly growing more in popular favor. Last evenings audience was unusually large, and the information gleaned, novel no doubt to very many, regarding our nocturnal lumi- nary, met with very just appreciation. As a piece of mechanism, pronounced exact in all it's exterior delineations, the coun- terfeit presentment of the earth's at- tendant satellite, which suspended in mid air over the stage looks like a monster balloon, is wonderful, and well re- pays the years of careful observation and la- bor spent in it's construction. Introducing the exhibition was most interesting lecture delivered by MT. Champion Bissell, Yale graduate, who for years has made the subject of astronomy special study. After delinea- ting the gLeat advancement made in the last few years in astronomical science, unveiling the deep mysteries of the stars in their courses through the vast realms of infinite space, he detailed the results of modern ob servations of the moon, the entire accuracy of which he claimed could not be questioned. He pointed out the positions of vast moun- tains rivalling in altitude the Himalaya range and the far reaching shadows cast from them. Other points of interest were likewise indicated as volcanic craters and canons, exceeding respectively in their ex- tent and depth those on the earth's surface. In conclusion he showed that if the moon is inhabited it's inhabitants are an entirely diff ferent set of beings from those peopiing our globe. His opinion Is that 1t is q vast, unil-
