Escaping from IL Burning Car.

The passengers who escaped from the burn
In sleeper on the Pennsylvania Railroad tell
thrilling stories of their narrow escapes from
baing burned alive. One of the most remark
able was that Of General Dudley. Commission
er Of Patents. He had only time to seize his
artificial Ter, tuck 1t under his arm and drag
himself along the aisle toward the door, keep
ing his face close to the floor to avoid the
binding, suifocatng flames. AS he reached
for his leg he remembered that Representa-
tive Ben Wilson, of West Virginia, who occu-
pied berth some distance down the car, was
deaf, and the thought flashed across his mind
that perhaps the alarm might not have aroused
the sleeping man. As he crawled along on his
hands, knee and stump, he felt in every
berth making all possible speed, but not
missing a bunk IN his blind search
for Wilson. Sure enough, there lay
the Congressman in one of the berths
sound asleep, in the very embrace of fiery
death, totally oblivious of his danger The
Commissioner shook him vigorously, but no
could not arouse the sleeper. Reaching over
the PROSTATE form he raised the window, and
then, jumping into the BERTH he seized Mr..
Wilson by both shoulders and shook him with
desperate earnestness, which Mt last ac-
compIished the object, and the member of
Congress crawled through the window as the
train came to q halt. The General remained
cool in spite Of the heat ana binding smoke,
and he again placed his face within two or
three inches of the floor and dragged himself
through the doorway and fell from the plat
form more dead than alive. The car within
two minutes was all ablaze, and but for Cen
eral Dudleys presence of mind, there would
have been another vacancy in the West Vir-
ginia Congressional delegation. Very few of
the passengers got away with anything except
their night clothes. Luckily, General Dud-
lcy's Thntaloons were fastened to his artificial
leg, and when he carried that Off in triumph

The Fee System Must 30.

Authorized representatives of the
members of the bar in all the counties
OF between 100000 ard 5O,OOO popula-
tion in this state having agreed upon the
provisions of a bill substituting fixed
salaries for fees as the compensation of
county officers; there ought to be no
doubt about the passage of such a bill by
the Legislature, relieving the public
from the impositions which they have
suffered in the grab game of county Off
GERS who now take all they can get.
It is forcible commentary on the prac-
tices which have prevailed here that the
demand from every other county was
for lower fees than the Lancaster bar
seemed to consider necessary, in view of
the emoluments which attach to the
Offices here under the present extortion-
ate and oppressive system. But, as finally
fixed, the fees are ample and there
will be no trouble finding men to
an the Offices; if there should be-.
in view of the reduced emoluments, less
struggle for them and less money spent
to get them the chances of securing good
men will only be increased. The sug-
gestion from Luzerne county tnat official
fees should be paid cash in advance was
. good one and should have bsen incor-
pornted into the bill It is fair to county

Lecture on Thaddeus Stevens.

Last evening in the First Baptist
church, of this city, fair audience was
entertained by Hugh r. Fulton, esq.,,
with his lecture upon Thaddeus Stevens,
the famed American statesman, whose
ashes repose in this city. The lecture was
highly interesting and evinoed that it was
the product of careful investigation upon
the part of ono of the ardent admirers of
the great departed American. The lecture
presented brief outline of the life and
movements of Stevens from his birth, de
lineating some of the marked phases in his
career but it dwelt with special emphasis
upon his humanitarianism, his strong
advocacy of the free school system of
Pennsylvania, and his efforts in the cause
of emancipation. Mr. Fulton demon
strated that Mr.. Stevens had been falsely
accused of being believer of infidel
opinions. Those who heard the lecture en-
joyed it. The choir entertained the audi
ence with three admirable pieces of music.

SALARIES FUR COUNTY OFFICERS.

mending Uniform Salaries.
A meeting Of the representatives of the
bar of Lancaster, Berks. Schuylkill and
Luzerne counties was held at the Lochiel
hotel, Harrisburg, yesterday, to discuss
the feasibility of establishing the salary
system in county offices The following
are the gentlemen who were present !:
Berks, Louis Richards, Richard L. Jones,
Isaac Heister, John Ralston, Jefferson
Snyder Luzerne, Fl. Hakes ; Schuylkill,
John W. Roseberry, B. b. McCool, John
A. Nash, A. w. Schalk Lancaster. Sam
uel H. Reynolds, w. A. Atlee, E. X.
Martin.
Mr.. Roseberry, of Schuylkill, was made
president of the meeting and Mr.. Martin
secretary. The most important subjects
discussed were the amounts of the salaries
to be allowed, and whether they should
be fixed Internationally or only the MAXI
mum to be decreased proportionately if
the receipts of the Office fell below its
salary and expenses. The latter idea was
insisted upon by the Lancaster delegation,
who contended that unless this was
enacted there would be no inducement for
officers to collect fees and the county
would be the loser. Finally this provision
OF the bill was agreed upon. When
it came to the amounts of the salaries
it was found that the representatives OF
other counties were instructed for lower
salaries than were favored by Lancaster
and after . long discussion the conference
finally decided to recommend the follow
ing salaries to their respective counties !:
district attorney, S2, 500 sheriff, 81 900 A:
prOthOnOtary, S2,5OO: clerk to Orphans'
court, 1900; register, $4,000; record
er, 50, 900; clerk of quarter sessions,
$1,000 treasurer, $4,000; county sur
veyor. $50; county commission
ers, $1,000; county auditors, $3.50 ;
county solicitors, $1,000; keeper
Of county Jail, $1,000; coroner $500.
The bill suggested by the Lancaster bar,
which has been favorably reported in the
House will be amended accordingly.
In accordance with tho practice in Lu-
zerne, MIR. Hakes, of that county, urged
provision that all fees be paid cash il
advance. He cited instances to prove the
superiority OF this system and that it ad
mitted Of lower fees. The representatives
of the other counties would not, however,
agree to this.
After the amended bill had been agreed
upon. the Bsrks county delegation was
directed to put it into proper shape and
send copies to the other counties. 1t was
generally agreed that the members of the
Legislature from the different counties
would support the bill as adopted by the
conference of lawyers. Tho conference
was very pleasant one and harmonious
in its conclusions.
