Burning of a Baggage Car While the Train
Runs at Thirty Miles an Hour.
Crown PoIST, May 10.-Shortly after the
L., N. A. & c. train had passed the station
at Cedar Lake, last night, the gas stove in
the baggage car exploded, setting fire to it.
The clothes of the uewsboy in the baggage
car caught fire while he was attempting to
suppress the flames. The express messenger
also received most serious injuries. The bell
rope was burned, so that no communication
could be had with the engineer to stay the
flying train. The boy jumped from the blaz-
ing car, and finally, when the flames burst
from the car. the engineer saw the trouble,
and stopped the train. But before this was
done the whole interior of the car was ablaze
1t was filled with the passengers baggage,
and express and mail matter all of which
was consumed. There were no means of
extinguishing fire on the train, and it had to
be allowed to burn itself out, thus delaying
the train nearly four hours.

A Reminiscenee of Ell johnson,

Princeton Clarion.
Eli Johnson visited Princeton about two
years ago and delivered two or three wild
harangues in the NJ Z. Church, under the
guise of temperance lectures. His utter
ences and manner atthat time were so ill-timed
and so full of conceit that the majority of
those who heard him were completely disgust
ed. 1t will be remembered that in one of
his lectures he devoted a considerable time
to abusing the Clarion and denouncing
certain statement published therein as lie.
1t will also be remembered that the Clarion
had something to say about Eli along about
that time. We had no hesitancy then in
pronouncing him a notorious blatherskite
and crank, and furthermore produced evil
dence to show that Eli Johnson was as great
liar as ever struck the town. That we cor
rectly measured the man is plainly shown
by his conduct in trying to enrich himself
at the expense of bringing scandal upon his
wife. No man but villain and a scounGrel
would hire detectives to watch his wife for
the purpose of finding some suspicious cir
cumstances upon which suit for damages
could be maintained. Mrs. johnson has
always had the reputation of being pure
and noble woman, and we confidently be-
lieve, when the pending suit terminates, it
will be found that the only mistake she
ever made was in consenting to a matrimon-
ial alliance with tyrannical brute like Eli.
