Horrible Death ON ube Rail.

DR.. Riley, a veterinary surgeon resi-.
ding at Seabright, n. j., was run over
and killed on Thursday morning at the
East Long Branch station of the New
Jersey Southern Railroad. The unfor.
tunate man had been waiting at the
Hotel Brighton talking to some friends
and intended to take the 11.23 train to
|Seabright. He bade them adieu and
started for the depot. By q singular
coincidence both the down and up
trains were on time, and the train for
Seabright having come to a standstill
DIR. Riley without apparently being
aware of the close proximity of the
train coming from the opposite direc.
tion attempted to Cross the track for
the purpose of boarding his TRAIN. The
down train came rushing on and when
directly opposite the depot, in full view
OF the waiting crowd, struck the doctor
before he could get out of the way.
The sight was sickening and many la.
dies who had stood horror stricken
gazing upon the struggles of the man
tainted away, while Others screamed
with terror. The train was finally
brought to a standstill and the mangled
body OF the unfortunate man was OK
tricated from beneath the cars. His
limbs hung by shreds, his intestines
were exposed to view and his face so
cut and distigured that he was scarcely
recognizable. Strangely enough he
recovered consciousness for a brief pc.
riod prior to his death, but did not
speak. DR.. Riley, who was highly es,
teened leaves family. The accident
was not ocoasioned by any negligence
of the railroad. officials, although 1t is
thought that trains are allowed to come
into the depot at greater rate of speed
than safety demands.

MarriadfnnMnm

If any man in this country would be
justined in attempting a general slaugh.
ter OF his neighbors that man is Samuel
Price, of Portland, Oregon. Having
fallen in love with comely chamber
maid at one Of the Portland hotels, Mr..
Price exercised his unquestioned prerog-
ative OF asking the young woman to be-
come his wife, and she in turn declined
as she had perfect right to do. At
this point Mr.. Price's friends took the
matter up and determined to perpetrate
a practical joke. One OF them, speci%l.
ly designated for work of that nature
by reason of his effeminate face and
voice, personated the chambermaid, and
when the lover renewed his suit in a
dimly lighted room, yielded to his en-.
treaties, and consented TO marry him
at once. Another friend otficiated as a
Justice of the Peace and performed a
mock. ceremony with great dignity and
eomposure. The lights were turned up
throng of malicious jokers pressed
into the room, and the farce was con.
cluded. At last accounts Mr.. Price
was looking for his " friends" with
several revolvers. 1t is to be hoped
that he has found them.

Detective Egbert, of Newark, N. j.,
arrived in New Haven, Conn.,, on Tues
day night at midnight in search Of
Christine Cooper, aged nineteen, and a
young man named Daniel Knowlton,
who had escaped from Newark with
considerable money belonging to Mrs.

Eating Lemons.

A good deal has been said through
the papers about the healthfulnesS d
lemons. The latest advice Ia how tC
use them 30 they will do most good al
follows Most people know the beneti
of lemonade before breakfast, but few
know how 1t is more than doubled by
taking another at night also. The way
to get the better of the bilious system
without blue pills or quinine is to take
the juice of one, two CT three lemons as
appetite Graves, in as much ice water
as makes it pleasant to drink without
sugar, before going to bed.
In the morning on rising, at least a
half hour before breakfast, take the
juice of one lemon in goblet of water.
This will clear the system Of humors
and bile with efficacy, without any Of
the weakening effects of calomel or con-
gress water. People should not irri'
tate the stomach by eating lemons clear,
the powerful acid Of the juice, which is
almost corrosive, invariably produces
Inflammation after a while, but, proper
ly diluted, so that 1t does not burn or
draw the throat, 1t does its medicinal
work without harm, and when the
stomach is clear of food has abundant
opportunity to work over the system
thoroughly.

s'He Stole a Pig and AWAY he
| Ramp In D6nVeP,

Before Justice Sopiis, of Den yer
John Green was lately placed un, te
5000 bail to await the action Of II Il
Grand Jury. The story Of Greent
crime is very funny and is worth rela--
ting at length. He Is q man aged go,
or more, and is tall, gaunt, peculiar 10
appearance and might be properly
called the man from nowhere. His
hrst adventure in Denver was during
tne May races, when he appeared at
the house Of Mrs. Bridget Whelan, who
IlVes near the fair grounds, and asked
tor drink Of water. He then asked
lor Information as to places where he
could purchase pigs and poultry, and
str9ok up an acquaintance.
Now 1t appears that Mrs. Whelan Is
a widow, rather buxom and prepossess-
ing, and John very wisely decided to
sail in for her. He made violent love
to her, and, with an energy and
shrewdness rarely equalled even by
mining expert examining property;
ne made such astonishing progress that
the lady's heart was soon in his pos.
session but John did not desire her
heart as much as he did her pigs, COW
and poultry. He represented to her
that he was q Kentucky farmer, and
begged her with all the ardor of a 20
year old lover to return with him to his
ancestral acres and become the mistress
OF his home. She yielded, and asJohn
explained she had no further use for
her pigs and COW she ought to sell
them. She made him the agent and he
realized $42 from the sale, all of which
he turned over to her. Soon afterwards
she gave him The money to deposit in
the bank and he fled with it. For three
weeks the deserted wi low mourned
her lover and lost money, when one day
as she was crossing the Thirty first
street bridge she net John, who was
carrying a pig which was squealing
Justify. John had stolen the pig, and
seeing double ruin staring him in the
face fled, but was captured. For steal
ing the pig Green was sent up for sixty
days, but his actions were such that
j ustice Sopris believed him 10 be in.
sane, and called the attention of the
county court to the case. In the mean.
time the widow com planned aud hence
the commitment.

Trouble amongst the Dunk or,

Trouble Amongst the Dunk ers.
There Is now pending in the Equity
Court at Cham bersburg, Pa, a contro.
versy between different factions of the
sect of Dunkers, the determination of
which viii be of interest to this branch
of the Unristian Church throughout the
country. OF recent years many inova.
tions upon the old time customs have
crept in among these people, the youn-
ger portion of the church insisting upon
an educated and paid ministry, the es.
tablishment of Sunday schools and the
like. They have also insisted that they
should be allowed to dress according to
the customs of the times and be allowed
the use of musical instruments in their
homes. At meeting of the annual
conference, held at Lanark, Illinois, In
1880, resolution was offered condemn.
ing these practices, but so far had the
progressivists advanced that the resolu.
tion failed to carry. Meanwhile in
many of the congregations of the
church there are serious dissensions,
30 bitter has the fight grown in this
country that they refuse to worship to-
gether.
A bill in equity was filed by the pro.
gressive party, in which they ask the
Court 10 determine that they are those
who practice the faith of the church
and that they shall be put into uninter-
rupted possession cf the church pro-
perty. They assert that their actions
are In accordance with the rules laid
down by the annual meeting, which
they claim is the only court of judica-
ture in the church. The defendants
claim that the plaintiffs have depart.
ed from the faith of the fathers. They
deny the authority of the annual con-
ference and insist that the Bible is
their only guide. Four days have
been already consumed in taking testi.
mony a. the case is likely to occupy
many weeks. The town is full Of
Dunkers, among them being many of
the most prominent men of the church.
The best legal talent in the country has
been secured and the final settlement
Of the controversy will doubtless be
by an appeal to the court of last resort.

Ph11ndepn1a Failure.

The failure and disappearance Of
Charles M. Hilgert, sugar refiner, was
the leading topic of discussion in the
business community yesterday. Claims
against him are still accumulating, and
the number of his creditors is moi
known. The total amount of claims
made, so far as known, foots up S3t1,'
147 80, though FIilgert's indebtedness is
much larger than this.
Thomas Wright, agent in this city
for the Consolidated Oil Company, of
Chicago, has failed, and made an
assignment for the benefit of his credi-
tors. He says his liabilities are $40,
900, which are more than secured by the
property of the Southwark Manufactu-
ring Company, of which he is sole
owner. This is an establishment for
the manufacture of whiting, and he at
tributes the trouble to difficulties
in its management.
