age, was struck and instantly killed by
tho Harrisburg express west, on the Penn

dcnco of Robert B. Williams, dispatcher
at Columbia, who was riding on the EN-.

gincer, it appeared that the man
was first seen by the former. He
was walking on the track towards
Lancaster ard was over one hundred yards
ahead of the engine. MIR. Williams in
formed the engineer, who was blowing the
whistle for Ranck's station. The man did
not seem to hear it, as there was freight
train oD the south track, and just as the
engineer was letting so the bel! rope. he
was struck. The COW catcher first hit his
left leg and then his hip, and the side step
struck his head crushing his skull. The
body was thrown to the side of the track
and was not run over. The engineer had
already applied the air-brakes and the
train was stopped short. The verdict OF
the jury was in accordance with these
facts and no blame was attached to the
employees Of the road.
The deceased is about 5 feet, or Q
inches In height, and is of muscular build.
He had dark brown full beard and hair
of almost the same color. His clothing
consisted Of black eest, vest and pantloons

While Beaver keeps on telling how

Cooper hies himself to Washington to

the toothache with the prospect of a
meeting of the Republican state COM

sented conditional designations of all the
Regular Republican candidates, to be
used by him for trade with the Inde-
pendents. The idea is to propose some
sort of a primary election, at which the

When Candidate Brosius undertakes to
make the administration of the party
conform in every particular with the prin-
ciplss enunciated in its PLATFORM" he will
have to begin by persuading Chairman
Cooper to abandon the assessment of Office
holders for campaign expenses. Mr.. Bro

platform is '' the highest code of political
ethics ever promulgated by any political
organization, but he seems to have a
lurking suspicion that the bosses are not

The outlook for the material interests
Of the country is rather hopeful than
otherwise. Business is being established
on sounder basis; profits are lighter
and speculation less rife, but results are
better assured the proportion of fail

half as great as for the corresponding

prices of oreadstuffs, and rich pasturage

As Brosius had several times previously
indicated his willingness to bow to the
command Of his party and go on the

expecting a letter from him expressing
his willingness to go off if Don Cameron
