Driven TO Suicide .

On the Belvidere division of the Penn.
sylvania railroad in Philadelphia an un
known man deliberately placed his neck
across rail before the wheels of a PCS .
ing coal train, and had his head almost
severed from his body. He was dressed
in workingmen's clothes, was about "a
years of age, and is believed to have been
a German. Poverty was doubtless the
cause of the act. He had accosted several
workmen who were returning from work,
and asked them for any cold food that
they might have remaining in their dinner
kettles. No attention was paid to him,
andhe wandered the streets all night, oc.
casionaily seeking the shelter Of door
way, until ordered away by the police
When he approached the railroad track he
appeared to be almost exhausted.

The Fortunate Escape Of a Small hoy Under
sleigh.
A good deal Of excitement was caused
yesterday afternoon at the corner OfWater
and Walnut streets, owing to q boy of
some four Or five years of age IL grandson
of Henry f. Laaman, getting under
a sleigh in which was A. ]. SteinmaD.
with his wife and sisters. At the corner
Of the street a number Of boys were gath.
cred who sought to catch on to the sleigh
the bigger brother OF the little fellow who
was knocked down succeeded in his effort.
tut the younger one, who was unObserve,t
by the occupants of the sleigh, must have
sought to catch on to it from the sitie-
since he was found, when the sleigh was
stopped, to have been caught under the
front of the right hand runner by which
he was pushed along until the sleigh was
stopped, distance Of twenty or thirty
yards. He was picked up at once and
carried to Dr. .BackwoOd's s house, where his
mother hurried to him fortunately he
was found to be very little injured. No
bones were broken, but the skin was
somewhat cut under ono ear and the
opposite cheek was slightly abraded one,
wrist, too, was little bruised The acci.
dent was unavoidable by those in tho
sleigh, as the boy was not seen either bv
the driver or by MIR. Sseinman and the
ladies, their attention being taken up by
the other boys who were trying to catch
on to the sleigh. Some excited women on
the side walk made an outcry when the
child was knocked down, but the cause Of
it was not understood in the sleigh and
the little boy might have been drasgefA<.
good deal further if Mr.. 8. E. Baird, who
was behind in single sleigh, had not
driven close and called to MIR. Steinman
that a boy vas under the sleigh.

All day yesterday tho committee OF
arrangements were kept busy fixing up the
coops and placing the birds in ca .ses, aud
even at the end of the day their work was
not finished. Owing to 4 niSunderstanti-

FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. IL. 1888.


The United States Senate has finally
voted that Fltz-John Porter was un-
Justly dismissed from the army and
that he should be restored to The rank OF
colonel The bill provides that he may
be put on the retired list by the presi-
dent, and that he shall not draw any pay
for the time he has been out of the
army. All is granted that Gen. Porter
asked for, but it does not seem that this
was enough. Having been unjustly
dismissed, simple restoration to his
former rank does not at all fill the
measure of the damage he has suffered.
He certainly should be at least given
the salary OF which he was deprived and
the amount of which will hardly pay the
cost of the effort General Porter has
been compelled to make for his vlndlca-
tion. Naturally he did not embarrass
his demand for justice with any pecunl'
ary consideration but the United
States should hardly be content
with Welding him 80 small a meas
ure of justice as this bill provides
Only three Republican senator's voted
fo7 Fitz John Porter. We are glad to
note among them Senator Cameron
The half-breed senator from Pennsyl-
vania did not vote with him from
which Democrats may read lesson. II
is that the strongest. partisans are not
necessarily the most unjust men,
Senator Cameron stands rs the rep
resentative of Stalwart and unbend
ing Republicanism in Pennsylvania
Senator Mitchell as that of weaker
kind that pretends a pharsaical love o
right greater than of the party. bu
where the test comes and clear ques
ton of right and wrong is presented
which does not have in it any loaves Of
fishes, the half-breed shows himself
half breed, indeed, and anything but
champion of Justice.

Needs Time to Cool OF.

We print with much pleasure what
our esteemed but unamiable contempor-
ary, the Harrisburg Telegraph, has to
say about the INTELLIGENCER, one OF
its editors and the chairman of the
Democratic state committee. The 1ele-
qraph has so long been for dishonest
legislation and bad government that it
cannot he expected to receive in due
spirit of appreciation the congratula-
tions of its contemporaries at its pro
fessed change of principles with its
change of editors. Time may mend its
manners as we'll as its morals both
have been in sad need Of repair.
As the INTELLIGENCEE and the
chairman of the Democratic state com
mittee have been quite as Jealous ant
clamOrOus for reform since the election
as they were before it, the allegation Of
the Telegraph to the contrary is only ad
ditiOnal proof of the foundation for oul
apprehension that the old Adam still
possesses our esteemed contemporary.
If it will kindly s. single out y wha
the Democratic chairman really said las
summer about the fraud in the print
ing of the legislative Record," instt tad O
what the Telegraph hears that he "wa
reported saying substantially" he will b
glad to make good his allegations. Mean
time the Telegraph may find something
to do in explaining the fraud G
not delivering the final numbers of thu
Record tor months after the last session
closed and it may prolitably give some
attention to the '' report current il
Harrisburg that the quality OF paper
used in the Recorl published for gen
eral circulation in 1881, WAS not up t'
that of the copies delivered "on th'
hill" nor up to the standard now re
quired by the state printer of the presen
publisher, who is Il Democrat and not il
the ring.

committee to investigate Delaney should
expose the whole business and the Senate
should put a stop to it.

THERE has been a great deal said in
favor of the English system of civil ser
vice since the discussion of the Pendle-
ton bill began and not much against it,
probably because Of popular ignorance
on the subject. A Mr.. Shuckers, who
was private secretary to the late Hon.
IS. z. Chase, delivered an address in
Philadelphia the other night on this
subject, from which we print an extract,
and if the facts he states are true it is a
forcble arraignment of the English
system ai.d makes a comparison that
is creditable to our system plan
of rotating public offices with the
changes Of public offices from one party
to the other. What the public want is
that the public business shall be done
honestly and economically. They are
not chiefly concerned that party workers
shall be rewarded nor that they shall be
debarred from office. But it is certain
that secure tenure of Office has its dis
advantages, and while it operates with
some meu to make them better officials,
it makes others too independent for pub
lie accommodation.

REUNITED I;Y A CHILD.
Family ES,ranSemenr Ended Through
LGYa For tho Only Som

Love For tho Only Son.
J d. Runne'l, of Carbondale, at one
time a resident Of Port Jervis, while there
On business, said that about two years ago
his wife began proceeding for Il divorce.
It was the old story-an impulsive court
ship, happy marriage and gradual
estrangement. Mr. Bunnell made no op-
position to the proceedings and soon
afterward the divorce was granted. Mrs.
Brunnell kept the only child, bright boy
of seven, and opened hair dressing estab-
lishment, and this fall went to Philadel
phia to live with her sister. Mr. Brunnell
had been employed as a commercial
traveller by a Carbondale firm. The little
boy proved bond of union between the
two and a correspondence was opened be-
tween them in relation to the child, in
which many messages were exchanged.
Finally Mr.. Brunnell proposed to relieve
his late wife of the expense of educating
the boy by taking the lad to the home of
his grandmother, in Carbondale. From
that place he went to Philadelphia. This
of course brought father and mother to-
gether. The result of the interview was
tie rekindIing of the old love flames. A
reconciliation took place and they resolved
to again unite fortunes. Mr.. Brunell
returned to CarbOndale with the boy and
last week his wife followed and they were
again married.
A Victim OF OIL Cfaze.
Henry Miller, of Lawrencevil!e, is the
last victim to the oil craze. Miller left
that vicinity some years ago for the silver
country, returning few months since
worth $50, 900, which he placed in an in-
StitutiOn for safe keepnp and at the
same time drawing therefrom moderate
revenue by way of interest. Entering the
Pittsburg oil exchange one day he was
stricken with that peculiar mania known
as the oil craze, and accordingly drew his
funds and Immediately invested them in
oil margins. Thursday he was at Oliver
Brothers & Phillips Tenth street mills on
the South Side, asking for situation to
do laboring work.

Ex.CoUNTY SOLICITOR II. Il. TUL-
TON has been" amusing' himself, &C
cordins to the New Era, . footing up
the results of his three years services
among the legal and financial affairs OF
the county - and he announces that
owing to "his services there has been
4 net saving to the county OF S5l.ooS tC
$40, ,999. 40 of this magnificent ''lesult .
accruing from the difference in co Is
paid in fees to aldermen, justices, mayer
constables, quarter sessions and witness
bills during the three years of Mr.. Full
toms term and that of his predecessor
and $34, ,1O9 from the difference between
the land damages claimed > by prop.
erty owners, and those finally awarded
them by viewers and juries. This is all
very amusing, "no doubt, to Mr.. Fulton.
These " results " recall the large mum
ber of lives that have been saved by fish
hOoks--on the part of people who did
not swallow them. How much did Mr..
Fulton draw from the county treasury
for" extra - services during his term as
county solicitor? How much was paid
to other counsel in county cases for
services which the county solicitor was
paid for and should have been able to
render ? And why don't Mr.. Fulton
charge to the s. results - of his official
experience the destruction by fire of the
almshouse barn, of the lunatic asylum
and of Binkley's bridge-all Of which
losses the county suffered during his
term.
