Railroad Accidents.

The alarming frequency of railroad
disasters during the past few months is
topic for much thought and for search
ing popular inquiry into the causes Of
and responsibility for the same. Coron-
er's inquests, conducted too often by
men with free passes in their pockets,
do not avail to make these inquiries
effective. The whole community is in
terested in having them so thorough as
to lie not only viEdicatory of the wrongs
done, but preventive of further danger
to the life and limb of travellers. Tray
cling by rail has come to be such
a matter of course that very few
persons who step on board a train
stop to think on what slight causes are
dependent the life Of themselves and
those they love. A defective piece any
where in the great machine which carries
them along, turned switch, a bad rail,
!; loose bolt i'm a bridge and hundred
other petty incidents of everyday hap
pening, are each enough to put at risk the
lives of the tens of thousands of passen-
gers carried daily On our railways. With
the Improvement of mechanical devices
for greater speed and comfort the
chances of arrangement and resulting
disaster seem to he only multiplied, and
air-brakts and signal stations failing to
work or to D.: worked properly, the rcli-
ance placed upon them renders the re-
suits of their failure all the more ter
riblp.
A system Of double track railway ser
vice, upon which 81 gnal stations, are
placed ut proper distances, and no train
is admitted into one block until the train
ahead OF il has passed out of that block
would seem ID be Il well-nigh in absolute
protection against such disasters as have

Independents for I;eaVer.

Press Interview with Quay.
"lt is very evident that Wolfe could
not control the conference yesterday, and
it is certain that he cannot control his
convention any better. Wolfc's man,
Nesbit, and Wolfe himself, wanted the
convention callcd for April 2G, before the
Republicans hold theirs. But the con-
ference wouldn't do it, and he had to
yield. Ie can't control the convention
any better | am sure that a ma jority OF
the Independents arc Beaver men,
They are anti Cameron men,, it was
suggested.
"Yes but that doesn't mean anti Bsav-
er men. The notion that Beavers nOmina
tiOn was determined upon by a conference
at Washington is all nonsense. There was
no such conference, and have already de-
MED it. General Beaver is Christian gen.
tleman, an able lawyer, and he was one of
our best soldiers. He lost leg for his
country. repeat. the Independents know
this as well rs anybody, ard when Mr..
Wolfe gets his convention together he will
find that he can't control the delegates,
and that they will indorse Beaver.
"What do you think Of the coming
campaign?'
cit will be one of the most bitter we
have ever known. Beaver will have hard
run, think. But his weakness will not
be in the loss Of Independent votes. 1t
will be in quite another direction-in what
don't care to state SO long before the
campaign opens.

LOCAL INTELLiGENCE.

For some weeks past 4 gang of bad
boys have persisted IN disturbing the
South Duke street night school. A

charge of The school. Several of them

they assaulted one OF Mr.. Constein's
children. \ few evenings ago while Mr..
Constcn was attempting to drive them
away from the school grounds one of them
threw stones at him, hurting him quite
severely, and two others struck and
knocked down Mrs. Constcin with stones.

Weeds Watching.

Mr.. Quay, who is an astEtc political
manager and the rta! boss of his party
in this state, expresses himself with
great confidence that ut the proper time
those who call themselves independents
will be for Gen. Beaver for governor and
that Wolfe will not be able to control
them contrlriwisc. If by independents
Mr. Quay means those of the COntinen
tai hotel conference stripe, he is right.
When they proclaimed that they were
ready to control the regular convention
if they could, and to submit I" its de
crees whether they could control it or
not, they gave their cause away and en-
tirely eliminated themselves rs Il factor
i'm the politics of the state. The nOmi-
nation of Beaver being i toregone CON
clusion and the acquiescence in it by
Senators Stewart and Lee and their kind
of independents, there is nothing uncer-
tain about the action of the regular
convention. Mr.. Quay's outgivings, how
ever, may have something of warning in
them for the Wolfe independents. They
have substantially declared that they
will stand aloof and wait to see what
the regular convention will do. In fact
they claim to be excluded from partici-
patton i'm it by the action of the party in
Philadelphia. Moreover, they are not to
be satisfied with Beavers nomination,
no matter how the rest of the ticket is
constructed.
In the face of this Quay pre-. ends to
think they will declare for Beaver. lie
counts without his host if he infers from
the proceedings in Assembly hall the
other day, that they will not listen to
Wolfe. We have a very positive
idea that instead of Wolfe being desir-
Gus of holding a convention in advance
of the regular one, and being disappoint
ed at the different action of his friends
in conference, he was better satisfied us it
resulted. None the less Mr.. Quay will bear
watching. lie is al adrOit politician,
fertile in expedients for capturing wan
dering political organizations. He duped
and used the Greenback lodges in this
state in 1878 to elect Hoyt. and the
Wolfe men need to be wary that he does
not somehow capture their delegates or
control their primaries. There were some
men in their conference whose move
ments excited the suspicion that they
were there to mislead it. 1t will be easy to
increase their number, and with all their
zeal the Wolfe people need to exercise
lynx-eyed vigilance that they be not be-
trayed i'm the house of their friends.

ending two-year's sentence in the AL
legheny work house, for having obtained
5000 from his brother. in-law upon repre-
scntations of having rich uncle coming
to this country, has bee0 suspected Of be-
ing De Leon, the bigamist. He will be
brought here on that suspicion, but the
prisoner emphatically denies that he has
ever gone under the name of De Leon, or
that he married girl in either Lancaster
or Reading, Or that he had ever known Mrs.
Coonley. lie told reporter that lie
had twice committed things which
he was ashamed OF, but he had paid the
penalty of his wrong doings, and since he
had been at the work house he had tried
hard to lead better life, and when re-
leased from the institution he proposed to
redeem himself. When told that there
was warrant for his arrest to take him
back to Lancaster, he only laughed and
said the officers would have their trouble
for their pains, as he was not the right
party.

ment, and was mistaken by the large
force of laborers congregated at Wild
Horse for lloxie's private car. The pay
master, Mr.. kertz, was supposed to be
HoXie. and the anger Of the men became
uncomfortable. They side tracked the
car, demanded the delivery of Hoxic that
they ight lynch him, and would not be-
lieve the announcement that he was not
on board. They piled up wood around
the car to set it on fire, and, as they said,
"roast lIoxie out" Mr.. Hertz made a
speech which pacitied the crowd, and they
desisted, but kept the car OH the side
