four o'clock train froLl Richmond, where
he had been on visit. lie was very drunk
when he arrived. He went to the City
hotel bar and was introduced to w. L.
Lee, of North Carolina. Lee had arrived
in the city on the $50 train and was also
drank. lie invited Green to take a drink.
Green refused, whcreupon Lee became
offended and asked Green out to fight.
Both parties repaired to neighboring
enclosure, and Lee struck Green in the
face several times. Green drew a pistol
and fired, the ball taking effect in Lees
breast. Lee ticn jumped at Green and
stabbed him three times with pocket
knife in the face and breast. In few
moments thereafter both parties fell and
expired. The affair creates intense ex
element and is without a parallel in the
history of the city.

Statistics OF tho Anthracite Industry In
fennsylvanla.
The census bureau has issued prelimi-
nary statement containing statistics of the
anthracite industry in Pennsylvania dur
ing the census year beginning June l,
1879, and ending June 1, 1880, which shows
that the number of working colliers has
increased during the past ten years from
225 to 273, or q! per cent. The average
horse power used has, however, increased
from ZIG to 375 or 1876 per cent. The
average number of hands has increased
from 235 to $50, or only Ga per
cent, while the average product per
gallery has increased from 69, 800 tons
to 100, 4SS tons, gain of As per cent. A
comparison of the census returns OF lSSO
and 1870 shows that the output has in
creased from IL. 500, 247 tons to q, 4333, 33229
tons, or II ,S37, ,O72 tons, 4 gain of 7j.9 per
cent, while the gross value has increased
only SO per cent. But the value of the
product Of 1870 was reckoned in paper
dollars. The apparent fall Of the AVERAGE
price per ton from SAT- to S1.47 or 1.O2,
about Al per cent. is considerably. more
than the change of tho standard would &C
count for. The total capital, real and per-
sonal, invested is reported as aggregating
$50, 161 ,19G. In 1870 the total amount
invested was but $685., ,2295 which shows
an increase in favor of 1880 of 1.9j per
cent

WaIRLED ROUND A SHAFT.
A FriShtful and Faral Accident at West
Chester.

A Frishtful and Fasai Accident at West
Chester.
One of the most horrible accidents that
ever occurred in West Chester happened
at the foundry and machine shops of Philip
NJ. Sharpless, on Walnut street, on Thurs
day afternoon, when Isaac Esbin, who was
employed in the mill, was almost
instantly killed. He had been
working alone filling the casting cleaner,
and this done, he proceeded to adjust the
belt between tho cleaner and tho main
shaft, when the latter was revolving at the
rate of $50 revolutions minute. As this
was an unusual task for him, and he had
been warned not to try it, his clothing was
caught by the belt and instantly he was
whirlipg round with the velocity Of the
shaft. Hisscream, as he felt himself going,
alarmed the other wOrkmen in the mill, who
also heard the unusual noise made by his
head striking the floor, and they rushed
to the spot, the engineer having shut of
the steam and stopped the engine. The
scene that was presented to the eyes of
those who were earliest on the spot was a
most horrible one-that of a man being
rapidly whirled around, while his head was
striking the floor so violently that the
boards were knocked loose. SO tightly
was the body wrapped to the shaft by the
belt that tho latter had te be cut
to release him. Life was extinct
when he was cut down and the surgeons
who were soon an hand could do nothing.
The body had been frightfully mutilated
the left leg was broken as we'll as the
thigh, both arms were fractured, the
elbows being completely disjointed. The
trunk of the body was frightfully crushed
while the head and face were SO beaten
into jelly rs to make Identification al
most impossible. Blood marked the scene
of the sad mishap in all directions. COro
Oner Barclay Lear held an inquest when 4
verdict was rendered in accordance with
the facts. The body was then taken to the
undertaking rooms and dressed before
being sent to the unfortunate mans home
where q young and delicate wife awaited
its coming with broken heart. The deceased
was about twenty-fOur years Of age and
had been married but short time. lie
is son of Isaac Esbin, potter, many
years resident of Lionville. but now liv-
ing in Philadelphia.

edition to morrow it will publish an in
terview with Judge Black, in which he
will give the inside history of the Bu-
chanan administration from December.
1850, to March, 1851, attempting to show
upon whom the responsibility rests for
the encouragement given the secession
lists, his deliverance being called forth by
recent utterances of jeff Davis. This
will no doubt be Il valuable contribution
to that part of our war history,
the inside truth of which is the least
known, and about which no one is so
we'll qualified to speak as Judge Black.
1t will never cease to he the subject of
regret that he did not write the life of
Mr.. Buchanan, or at least the history of
his administration, and any historical
outgivings from him in relation to that
period must have interest and value.

WE expect to see our esteemed Re-
publican contemporaries blossoming out
with statements that the Democratic
candidate for governor of Virginia had
advocated the application of the torch
to the school houses of Virginia. Some
of the New York papers are already
felicitating themselves that such a decla.
ration by him will ensure his defeat, and
the Erening Post gravely publishes the
opinion that no man known to antago-
nize the public schools can ever be elected
to any important public Office in Vir-
ginia.'' Now what Major Daniel did
once say, in a Senate debate, was that he
"would burn down the public school
houses before he would rob the creditors
of the state to maintain them," which
was not a sentiment to be deprecated in
any locality, since school houses in which
a laXer system of morals than that is
taught had better he burned down. AS
the World pertinently remarks " 1t is
no doubt of great Importance to. Vir-
ginia that its children should he taught,
but the value of an education which be-
gins by teaching them that they are to
be taught with other peoples money
stolen for that purpose may be doubted. -
