A SHORT time ago the LIGHT made mention
Of the fact that the Missouri Pacific railway
was running through passenger trains from
St. Louis TO San Antonio without change,
making 1t one Of the most pleasant routes in
all the great Southwest The men at the head

way are nothing Il not particularly enterpris-
ing, and the record Of the past will show that
they have. at all times, kept ahead Of the
times, aad also Of their competitors. The
latest announcement, however, made by Mr..
II. c. Townsend, the General Passenger
Agent, is the Two Oceans Route" which
goes into effect to-day, December 1, and is the
longest sleeping car service in the world being
a line from ST. Louis to San Francisco, by
way Of the Iron Mountain, Texas and Pacific,
Southern Pacific and Genital Pacific roads.
A daily through sleeper will leave either end
of the line, making the route available every
day in the year, and, as before stated, the
longest mileage Of any sleeper run
in the world, the distance being about 263o
miles as against 2 4o3 miles from New
Orleans to San Francisco, over the Galv, ston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio and Southern
Pacific roads. The Missouri Pacific has
always been a popular thoroughiare, and this
latest enterprise will add to its already well
established reputation for liberaliy and ac-
commodalion to the travelling public. 1t is
also announced in connection with the 1.-TWO
Oceans route" that person can travel from
Boston to St. Louis in a Wabash sleeper
without change and meet at the Union depot
there a Missouri Pacific train with through
sleeper to San Francisco, thereby making The
trip from ocean to ocean with but one change
Of cars, thus showing that General Passenger
Agent II. C. Townsend knew exactly what he
was doing when he announced the opening Of
the 1.-TWO Oceans route"

An Exploding Stove.

CEDAR LAKE, Ind, May 10-An
accident occurred last night to the
regular day passenger train on the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
line, bound for Chicago, which
might have resulted in serions loss
of life. Shortly after the train had
passed the station the gas stove in
the baggage car exploded, setting
fire to it. The wind was blowing
at sixty miles an hour and the train
was running at the rate of thirty.
The clothes of the news-boy in the
baggage car caught fire while he was
attempting to suppress the flames.
The express messenger attempted
to extinguish the flames, and in
doing so received most serious inju-
ries. The bell-rope was burned,
that no communication could be
had with the engineer. When the
flames burst from the car the engi-
neer saw the trouble and stopped
the train. The car was filled with
the passengers luggage and express
and mail matter, all of which vas
consumed. There was no means of
extinguishing the fire on the train,
and it had to be allowed to burn it's
self out thus delaying the train near
ly four hours.

JUDGE LIVINGSTON, of Lancaster
county, like the caliphs of ancient
Bagdad, has been taking quiet
walks around the city to see how the
parties he had granted licenses TO
were observing the law. Becoming
convinced that a number of them
were selling liquors on Sunday, and
to persons affected with or by in
toxicating drinks" he took occasion
on Saturday to tell the attorneys, to
instruct their clients, that hereafter
all applicants for renewals of license
who are suspected of having violated
the law in the manner named,
would be compelled to furnish an
affidavit, not only that they had
'kept their bar and place of bust
ness closed on each Sabbath day,
and had not sold liquors to persons
affected with or by intoxicating
drinks" during the year past, but
that they would not do SO for the
year to come. The temperance peo-
pie of the State will watch the ex-
pertinent with great interest, to OBJ
serve if a well enforced license law
is really as beneficial as its friends
claim.

The Arctic Regions.

WASHINGTON, May11.-The organ
ization and outfit of the signal serv-
ice relief expedition to Lady Frank
lin Bay, under command of Lieu
tenant Darlington, are now practical
ly complete, and General Hazen will
shortly go to st. Johns, N. F., in
person, to select a steamer for the
use of the party. Everything, he
says, which experience could suggest
has been made to ensure the success
of the undertaking. Lieutenant Gar
lington's men have been selected
with great are by General Terry
from among the plainsmen under
his command. and they are believed
to be unusually well qualified in
point of physical efficiency for the
arduous service which may be before
them. The best sailing steamer OBJ
tainable will be chartered at st.
Johns to carry the relief party north
and it is hoped that under the man.
agement and guidance of an expert
enced captain and two or moreskill-
ed ice pilots, she will be able to
make her waythrough Smiths Sound
and Kennebec Channel to the Signal
Service station.

BECAUSE Of the howl raised by the
Independent and Democratic press
over the appointment by the new
Civil Service Commission of Mr..
Keim, as Chief Examiner, that body
has withdrawn the appointment, and
requested the President to commits
sion another gentleman. The Com
missioners have thus shown their
unreasonable weakness and total
unfitness for their positions. There
was not a single valid charge urged
against Keim, and if there was any
good reason why he should not have
been appointed, the Commissioners
should have investigated and dis
covered them before making the APP
but having appointed
him, he was entitled at least, to a
fair trial to test his competency.
Failing the courage to do this, the
Commissioners in~gloriously surren-
dered to mere newspaper clamor,
and have thus proven hat they are
not fit to select an examiner, and
have not the courage of their own
convictions. If any one thing was
expected of these gentlemen it was
nerve, and this they have shown
they signally lack.

AN epidemic OF strikes has appar-
emily set in with more than ordinary
virulence. The result will be a vast
amount of suffering for thousands of
women and children, and idleness,
loafing and intemperance among
men, as well as a large addition to
the army of tramps. The crushing
reduction of the tariff on iron and
steel, and the consequent attempt to
reduce wages on the part of the man.
%ufacturers, has added largely to the
thousands of dissatisfied workmen
who almost yearly strike for increas-
ed wages. 1t does seem to us, that
a calm, dispassionate conference be-
tween the employers and the en-
ployed ought, in most instances,
bring about an understanding be-
tween them, and thus save much
suffering and loss to both parties. A
compromise must eventually come,
and wise men will make It at once.
Months of idleness, and bitter strife,
and heavy losses will not make n q
whit easier to bridge over the exist
ing differences. If there is any eff.
cacy in Senator Wallace's Arbitra-
ton bill-now a law-this il the
to try it.

DURING the last political campaign
the Independents" were constantly
declaring eve must have reform by
beating the Stalwarts now, and the
party will be all the stronger and
more united for the Presidential
campaign in 1884" Well, they de-
feated Beaver, elected Pattison and
got Reform, and now, when we are
about forming the lines for the bat
tie of this fall, preparatory for the
great campaign of next year, we find
these same Independent leaders de-
claring, as they did last year, that
they will help restore the Republic
can party to power provided it can
be done without requiring them to
surrender any of their peculiar views,
or in other words, unless allowed to
"boss" the party, they will not unite.
Republicans who were misled by
the Independent movement into
helping defeat their party last year,
should ponder these facts.

The Recent Hurricane.

EAsroN, May 9.-Passengers state
the hurricane in the Lehigh and Ly-
coming valleys last evening was the
severest known in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. Between Pennhsven and
Hazleton the trees in the woods for
a, distance of 200 feet were moved
down like grass. The wind and
rain beat so hard against the win
dows of the cars that passengers had
to place the cushions of the seats
against them to prevent them from
being blown in. The engineer of
one train, to avoid a wreck by falling
trees, reduced the speed to coal train
time. At Gould's siding, near White
Haven, the engine of a passenger
train was struck by a falling tele-
graph pole and damaged. The same
pole struck a passenger car, making
splinters of its front. ABOUT the
same time a tree fell and broke the
windows on the right side, alarming
the passengers. All this occurred
while the train was running at full
speed. A short distance below the
trainmen had to move two telegraph
poles that lay across the track. Near
Rockport a rock weighing thirty
tons rolled from the hillside and
lodged on the track. The Waterman
saw it in time to stop trains going
either way. Near Stony Creek sta
ton four freight cars of a morning

BALTIMORE, May 10.-The dwell
ing on 1873 West Madison street, oc-
cupied by the Misses Adams, who
kept o fashionable boarding school
for young ladies, was burned this
morning. John f. Adams, a gentle
man SO years of age, father OF the
school teachers, who was paralyzed
and sick in bed, was suffocated by
smoke, and Jane Byers, the colored
cook, a woman about: 70 years OF
age, was also suffocated and burned
while in bed, her l~ifeless body being
found charred to a crisp when the
firemen succeeded, after subduing
the flames, in forcing their way to
the third floor of the house. Henri
eta Tyson, a colored chambermaid
employed in the house, leaped from
a third story window to the yard In
the rear of the house, breaking one
of her hips and an arm and sustain
ing severe internal injuries. She will
probably die. The Misses Adams
and their brother were sitting by the
bedside of their father in the third
story at three o'clock when they
perceived smoke and went down the
front way to investigate. They dis
covered the whole teal of the house
in flames and started to rush up
stairs to remove their father, but
found the flames had spread up the
back stairs and cut them off. When
the firemen arrived they brought
out the dead body of the old man.
1t was not until later hat the re.
mains of the colored woman were
found.

CoSNELLsvILLE, May 10.-Two
weeks ago John White and Mrs.
John Harvey were married. At the
time Jack Bradley was paying atten-
tions to Mrs. Harvey, and when the
wedding occurred he swore that he
would kill the newly made bride.
Accordingly he entered the White
residence at East Leisenring this
morning and walked into Mrs. WIS
bedroom. She ordered him away
and he refused to go; and instead
put his arm around her and attempt
ed to kiss her. She repulsed him,
and he then drew a revolver and at
tempted to shoot her through the
head. She struck the weapon down
and the ball took effect in her left
side, ~inflicting al ugly though not
necessarily dangerous wound.
He then drew the revolver again,
but, by a quick movement, the ball
was sent harmlessly by the intended
victims head. Mrs. White then seiz'
ed her assailant, and, after a desper.
ate struggle, threw him to the floor
and fed. He came Immediately to
Connellsville, and it was only after
a terrible struggle that the police
captured him. After being taken to
Jail he took a half box of Rough on
rats" but the dose was too much,
and instead of killing him it acted
as an emetic and his life was saved
He was committed to the Uniontown
iail.

A General Strike Inevitable.

PlTTsBURG, May 10.-A quiet but
very important meeting of the West
ern Iron Manufactures Protective
Association was held in this city this
afternoon. Delegates from all of the
iron centres of the West were in
attendance, but the only subject dis
cussed was the result of the Confer
enc Committees attempt to settle
the wages question. The general
opinion was that the manufacture
ers' committee had acted wisely in
refusing to confer further with the
wcrknen, after the latter gave notice
of their intention to refuse any re-
duction in wages, and the action of
the committee was unanimously in
dorsed.
After the adjournment several of
the more prominent gentlemen who
attended the meeting said that the
manufactures considered a strike in
evitable and were prepared for it.
President Jarrett, of the Amalgam-
ated Association also stated this af-
ternoon for the first time that he
considered an amicable settlement
impossible, as the move for a COM
promise. which was mentioned a
few days ago, has fallen through.

Attempt to Disbar Dukes.

UNIoNTowY, Pa, May THE mo-
ton to disbar Dukes came up in
Court to-day, and he was on hand to
show cause why the petition should
not begranted. Congressman Boyle
appeared for him. Hon. Daniel
Kane, Colonel John Collins and
Nathan Ewing were the committee
having charge of tine case for the
members of the Bar. They asked
that Dukes name be stricken from
the roll of attorneys on the ground
OF being guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing a member of the Bar, but the
charges were not accompanied by
specifications, and Mr.. Boyle asked
that they be required to make the
charges specific. This request was
granted and the committee given till
next Monday to formulate the charg-
es. Dukes recently wrote a very
supplicatory and pathetic letter on
the subject to one of the committee.
