Testing Railroad Employees.

A committee of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company have been engaged several
days in Phillipsburg, testing the sight OF
the company's employees. The work has
been carefully done, each man being
tested separately, first with both eyes and
then with one eye closed, by apparatus.
The exact measurement of the radius
of sight can be obtained. They are also
tested relative to colors. Skeins of silk
of several colors are laid in pile and en-
ployes requested to pick out certain
colors also those colors that will blend
together with the greatest harmony. A
record of each mans sight Is kept. In
some instances man can see far better
with one eye than he can with the other
The variation is sometimes as great as u
inches. The examining committee is in
charge of Train Master Davis. There
were about $50 men TO be examined. So
far two men have been found who are
color blind, one fireman and the other a
head brakeman. 1t is not the intention
Of the company to discharge color blind
men, but to change their work, SO that
they will not be in position to imperil life
or property. Warren Democrat.

AcT.-Ogden, Utah, July 26.--A whole
sale persecution Of the Gentiles has been
inaugurated, and arrangements have been
made for testing the constitutionality of
the Edmunds act in the Supreme Court Of

down to the distant apostles, bishops and
elders in the most extreme part of their
domain, have separated from their wives,
and are living openly with one only. All
polygamists have, under orders, resigned

posed, have been selected and commits
stoned In their places. Every effort will
be made to beat the Government on all
the sections of the Edmunds act.

AEOUTHEKN ELECTION RIOT
Negrees Killed and Wounded.

A special dispatch from Columbia,
s. c., says: The Greenbackers, who
are now making a canvass of this State
In behalf of their State ticket, which
was recently nominated, held mass
IEmeetinR at Lancaster Court House yes
terday, which resulted in bloody riot
and in the loss of number of lives.
Colonel B. G. Cash who murdered Col
onelWm. L. Shannon in duel in July,
1880, and is no II an Independent can
date for Congress, with the indorse-
ment of the nbackers, was present
at the meeting and made violent and
abusive speech. While he was speak
ing difficulty occurred at the stand
between white man and a negro.
Words were passed, when the white
man was struck a fearful blow on the
head. Several pistol shots were fred,
but no one was injured.
After the speaking had concluded
about one hundred negroes, mounted
on mules and horses and armed with
pistols, rede through the main street of
Lancaster, led by negro man named
Crockett. AS the mounted men were
passing street corner Crockett pulled
out his pistol and drawing it down on
a white man standing on the sidewalk,
said; "Thele is the damned rascal
who did the shooting" The white
man told him he lied, when Crockett
fred on him, the ball narrowly missing
his head anG passing through the coat
Of another white man standing near by.
Three shOiS were then fired ut Crockett,
who fel, from his horse dead. The
firing then became E neral, and three
more negroes were killed and six wound
cd The negroes rode into another
street aud halted. Serious fears we're
entertained that they would renew the
attack, and to prevent further blood
shed telegram was sent to Chester
for aid to suppress the riot. A despatch
was received 0y Gov Hag0od last night
from State Senator p ettersOu, Of Ches-
ter, asking him TO order this military
company at Chester to proceed to Lam

A LunAtic's Leap.

A United States Senate clerk named
George Ames, whose father was son
of the late Bishop Ames, of the Metho-
dist Church, and whose mother is sis
ter of ExUnited States Senator Booth,
jumped from third story window Of
the Grand Hotel at Richmond, Ind,
Thursday night, and struck on his
head, sustaining injuries that will
probably prove fatal. He stopped at
Richmond on his way to indianapolis,
on visit to his sister, and has been con-
sidered so insane that he would have
been sent to an asylum Immediately,
The leap was made to escape the officers
and physicians who would have had
him in custody. He is a cousin OF the
man named Ames who died in Balti-
more madhous0, Monday, and who was
also grandson Of the Bishop. His in
sanity was induced by novel reading
and close confinement, which under
mined his health, and was not the re.
suit of hereditary tendencies.

Another s'SRmuel of POssn" Liable
to Run the House

Some tine ago young Hungarian
Jew applied to Captain Smith Of the
Brunswick Hotel for employment,
stating that he was penniless and de.
sired to gain an honest livelihood.
Captain Smith said he could take the
position OF hotel bootblack, which,
while rather humble, about well
patronized public house is quite lucra
tive. The young man said he would
accept the position and went to work.
He stayed just five weeks, and in that
time had cleared fifty.niue dollars over
aud above expenses. He then left for
San Antonio, much to the relief of the
proprietor of the Brunswick, who was
afraid If he remained much longer,
like "Samuel of Posen," he would own
the house. Before leaving Austin he
purchased a ticket in Tue Louisiana
State Lottery, and just received iufor.
nation that he has drawn one.afth Of
the capital prize of $4,000, giving him
$4,000. When that young man again
visits Austin he will register his name
on the Brunswick book, giving the
autograph all Of the aristocratic twirls
incident to recently acquired wealth.
