A Narrow Escape from Death.

Clayton F. Wenger, freight brake
man on the Columbia and Port Deposit
Railroad, had narrow escape from
death Wednesday morning. AS his
train was leaving Columbia he was rid
ing on top of box car, and telegraph
or telephone wire, which was suspended
across the tracks, caught him under the
chin, lifted him up bodily and dropped
him upon the roof of the cabin or rear
car from which he rolled and fell be-
tween two cars of the rapidly moving
train. He lodged on the bull noses of
the two cars, from which perilous posi-
ton he was rescued by the flagman and
another brakeman. Wenger was cut
under the cEin where the wire struck
him, and his left arm was badly bruised.
He is badly shaken up generally, but
his injuries are not serious.

Inviting National Humiliation.


From the Nep York World.
1t was singular blunder to appoint
Mr.. Kelley to Italy. Anybody might
haze known that King IIumbert would
not be willing to receive in personal,
confidential position man who had
called his father hard names. After
Italy had declined to recognize Mr.. Kei-
ley it was stupid piece of obstinacy to
transfer him to Austria. Francis Joseph
and Humbert are cousins and close allies.
Mr.. Bayard only invited the second snub
he has received
1t may make American blood boil to
find lot of crowned paupers sending cur
American representatives home with
their ears boxed. But the people are re.
sponsible for the acts of their servants,
and when their State Department com,
mits plumbers in diplomacy which must
make us the laughing stock of Europe,
they naturally feel disposed to pocket
their indignation.

ELDER Morgan, President of the Mormon Church in the Southern States, expresses entire satisfaction over the progress of the Church in that country. They now have sixty five elders constantly at work in the South Atlantic States, and he says more converts are being secur- ed than in any previous year. It is expected fully seven hundred will leave the South for Utah and Colo rado this year.-[Pioche Record.
 What class of people is Elder Morgan trying to fool in the south ern States? Certainly there are no intelligent white people that con- tribute to his satisfaction. Polyga- nous doctrines would meet with a Tennessee reception in any of the Southern States.

 MT. Ashton may or may not die from the wound or wounds he re- ceived, but it can only be regretted that the Captain CD who is said to have swallowed strychnine imme- diately after his attempt at mur- der, had not been forced to swal- low an extra ounce to make his election to hades sure.

THE Albuquerque Journal ask

THE Albuquerque Journal asks ::
 "When do the authorities of Ari- zona propose to wipe out Mormon ism in Apache County"
 We answer, that Arizona propo- ses to rid this county of the last one ofall these law defying polygamists before the holy, pious and devout catholics of New Mexico shall com mence proceedings in the correction of her own corrupt crannies; the purifcation of her own sinks of filth; her own pernicious pools her own nests of nastiness and moral nauseousness. Has 1t ever occurred to the righteous New Mexican that there is "buzzards roost" in Val encia county known as Sevoia that there is no fouler or more pes tiferous repository of licentiousness known to exist in any state or ter ritory in the Republic, under the cloak and claim of religious devo- ton.
 Arizona and particularly Apache County is thankful for the aid, en- couragement and sympathy of New Mexican friends, but it would be better satisfied to have them come with clean hands as we'll as pure hearts. What has occupied your heavenly minded U. s. Marshal what is 1t that holds your U. S. Commissioners and your U. s. Dis trict Attorney; your Judges and your Grand Juries, that Tieten, Sevoia's polygamous monster, has not long ago repented of his ways, or been incarcerated with his less criminal brethren in Yuma, Detroit and other reformatories prepared for the devil and his angels.
 To you brethren of New Mexico we send forth the Macedonian cry. come over and help us! But come over clean roads and through puri- fed districts, and you will do us good.

THE resources of civilization have been brought into service in the case of Maxwell, the St. Louis murderer, who is on board a steam CT bound to New Zealand. A cable message has been sent from St. Louis, via. England, Portugal, the Mediterranean, Arabia, India, Australia and New Zealand to the Auckland authorities, at a cost of about $3.50 per word, or several hundred dollars altogether, and if it retains any of it's original mean ing after this trip of 16000 miles through all these strange countries there is little doubt that Maxwell will be in the lock up within an hour after the ships arrival at Auckland.-Phenix Gazette.
 MT. Maxwell will have to double his road. The style of murder he introduced in this country at the Southern hotel, St. Louis, must be drowned down by hanging him up, or, as Aminabad Sleek appropri- ately put it, If this thing be en- couraged ther'll be all sorts of peo- pie chloroformed and shut up in packing trunks"

COLONEL REED, of the St, Johns HERALD wants to know what will become of the 10000 Mormon wo- men when their polygamous hus- bands are put in the penitentiary."
 The Albuquerque Journal of May 10th, makes scarcely enough ref erence to our article, published May ', to give the public intelli- gent thought upon the subject. Men convicted for the practice of polygamy have been sent to the prison at Yuma, have been con- fined at Detroit, and in various prisons and penitentiaries for big amy, polygamy, unlawful cohabi- tation, or whatever 1t may be deter mined, in violation of the law. As their crimes imply, they have fam flies that should be cared for. Is it not just that the Mormon church should be compelled to support these people by special taxation. That church is responsible for polygamy in the past and should be made solely to come to the res ono pO1v

THE term of Col. Adrean, the Baltimore postmaster, will soon ex- pire, and his friends have gone 10 work to secure his re-appointment if possible. They say he is in every respect as efficient an officer as Pearson, and just as little of a partisan, while he has an addition al claim to consideration in fact that he was a gallant soldier in the Union Army. Col. Adrean will very likely have to go, however. The President has explained. we believe. that the re-appointment of Pearson was made in fulfillment of special obligation to certain New York newspapers, and not for the purpose of promoting the cause ot civil service reform.-Tombstone.

MUCH dissatisfaction is occasion

MUCH dissatisfaction Is occasion ~si among cattle men by the an ,snouncement that ranch owners in .aJorth Texas will prevent cattle < from South Texas crossing the Tex as and Pacific track. Lately there has been a large move of stock northward across the track, some of which were destined to the Pan handle and some to Northwestern Texas territory, and should the de termination of the North Texas cat tie men be enforced great loss and inconvenience will be occasioned. Attempts to resist this transit will doubtless cause serious trouble. The grass north of the track is more luxuriant than that south of it, Globe-Democrat.

AND now Milton Musser has beer

AND now Milton Musser has been convicted, at Salt Lake City, for violation of the laws Of the United States and of the highest civiliza- tion known on earth, in that he has been duplicating his wives-guilty ofthe crime of bigamy-living with moro than one woman, as husband and wife; openly and defiantly set ting at naught the respect for the teachings of the best governments that have come to us as an inheri- tance for the past two thousand years; in that he would wrap around him the "Livery of the Court of Heaven to serve the Devil in" and by his unlawful and treas enable acts in enticing others to disobey the laws. These are some of the many crimes committed by this hypocritical sensualist who blasphemously states that he is happier in suffering for Gods sake than he would be in the full enjoy ment and carnal embrace of his manifold betrayed women. We trust that this last lie will not cause leniency on the part of the court, but that the full penalty of an out ragged law will be awarded him. In this connection we copy from a telegraphic report to the Albuquer- que Journal. on Sunday last, the following resolutions which were passed by set of men and women, some of whom may be mono-mani- acs, it is only>charitable to think so, some scoundrels as bad as Musser himself and some ignorant fools, all of whom deserve to be arrested and placed in asylums that are fit ted for their several conditions:
 "Whereas, our most worthy es- teemed brother, A. NJ. Musser, by loyalty to the commands of our heavenly father, by his provident paternal care of his family, has brought himself under ban of an unconstitutional act of congress called the "Edmunds law" by a system of espionage instituted by corrupt federal officials, in which apostate traitors, gutter-snipes and the like were employed, has been arraigned in federal court, tried by a packed jury, and through force of arbitrary indicative ruling without any evidence to sustain the charges preferred against him, has been found guilty ard now awaits the sentence of the judge
 Resolved, that we few, his breth- ren and sisters, having noted his unfiinching integrity under the dire evils, and in the face of the most cruel injustice feel to commend in highest terms of his conduct, true integrity and fidelity to home and family his love for principles, lib erty, freedom, religion and con science, as guaranteed by the con- stitution of the United States, and while we sorely regret to see the innocent suffer, and wicked rule in fiict its injustice on our brother, we realize he suffers for righteousness sake, and volume of our prayers ascend to the omnipotent preserver in his behalf, and by our faith and prayers, will ever sustain him."

THE Globe Democrat has it that

THE Globe Democrat has 1t that Illinois will send General John A.. Logan to the senate. The question is settled for the next six years. Everybody seems to be happy. Politically, with the American peo- pie, whatever is, is right. It was so when the announcement was made to the American people that Grover Cleveland would hold the reins of government for the ensuing four years. Itwas so when the defeat at the polls of James Gillespie Blaine was telegraphed from one end of the Union to the other. That is the beauty and excellence of our Re publican style of doing things-the effect of proper public representa- ton. We may change our labor CTS, but our work, never; govern ment for the greatest good of the greatest number needs no standing army to sustain it. The will of the people as expressed by an honest vote is our stronghold; it is our army of moral force that is more effective than steel plated monitors and gatling guns. Hurrah for the Union, hurrah for Illinois, and hur- rah for the man of her choice.
