A New and startling Invention.

To the ordinary mind it seems ine-
vitable that if two trains approach each
other on the same track and do not
slacken their speed collision must en-
sue. But there is man in Connecticut
whose mind is not ordinary. OF course,
we do not mean by such a statement to
insinuate that the Nutmeg State pos
sesses only one man gifted with Or
dinary mental endowments. The
woods there are full of them, but, so
far as heard from, there is only one
who has exercised his genius in solving
the problem of how to enable two trains
to pass ON tue same track without COL
lision.
The plan of this ingenious person is
very simple, as all really great plans
and ideas are. He proposes to place
on the front OF every locomotive going
10 one direction long inclined plane
upon which are two rails. These come
close to the track at the forward end
of the plane, and at the hinder end are
connected with other rails that run
along the tops OF the cars, and down to
the main track on another inclined
plane in che rear. When the train pro.
vided with this attachment meets an
other on the same track, the latter
simply goes over the former, its weight
making the connection of the front Of
this inchned plane and the rails Of the
main track perfect. and acting at the
same time as brake on the speed Of
the train underneath. Bl
II this invention had been made a
few years sooner the number of double.
track roads in the country would not
now be half so great as it is. A single
track with occasional switches for heavy
freight traios would answer all pur.
poses, and the cost of constructing rail-
roads would be decreased 25 per cent.
at least. The system will, of course, be
adopted on the single-track roads, and
within few years the sensation OF
riding over or under another moving
train will be so common as to pass
almost unnoticed. This 10 great

WM II IGLEHART, PosTMAsTER.-
We were not at all surprised when
the appointment Of Mr.. VIM. r. Igle-
bart is postmaster Of Annapolis, was
announced this morning. No demo-
crat in this city is more worthy of the
place than our brother Of the "Adver-
tiser.' He has been q faithful and
efficient worker in the democratic
rank when nothing but defeat for .
long series Of years stared the party
il the face. He never faltered new
er wavered -but confident of the pur-
ity Of the principles Of the party and
the rectitudes Of bis course, he fought
and struggled against the wave Of re-
publican corruption that held the
country il its grasp, until at length
the people were aroused, and By one
mighty united effort, the grand old
democratic party Is once more placed
ct the head Of the government. Mr..
IgIehart has taken an active part for
twenty.four years il thus efecting
this revolution; be has done his
whole duty and contributed largely
10 bringing the old party back to
power; and be is entitled to any posi-.
ton under the government be may
select We think be has chosen wise.

him on bis choice.

Lazy Legislators snirk Their Duty.

HARRISBURG, April 30.-The dill
atory trifling of the Legislature
reached the climax this morning.
So many members slipped off last
night to their homes, and left by the
early trains this morning, that the
House was lefl without a quorum.
At 11:30 o'clock this fact was dis
covered by the Democrats, and .hey
made point by moving a call Of
the House. The. result was that
business came to stand still, and
Speaker Graham had to enforce the
rules.
He directed all doors to be locked,
and that no member should be per-
mitted to leave, and then sent the
Sergeant-at-Arms with assistants out
to all the depots and hotels, to ar
rest recreant members and bring
them back. Under the rules the
House could be kept locked all
day, and all night too, or until
quorum should be obtained.
While the officers were hunting for
members the imprisoned ones had a
high old time singing Marching
Through Georgia, and other songs.
The embargo lasted one hour, when
the Sergeant returned with the re.
port that in all Harrisburg he could
find but one member. The advisa-
bility of telegraphing to Mifliin and
Lancaster to catch the fleeing mem-
bers en- route home on the trains
was considered, but the Speaker
deemed that he had exhausted all
his resources, and therefore adjourn.

Dragged at y Horses Tail.

GREAT BEND, May 1.-George
Mack, the negro who murdered Rich
ard Parker, his employer, saloon
keeper at Great Bend, on Sunday
morning, was captured in Kansas
City and returned to Great Bend
yesterday. When the train neared
Great Bend at 10 o'clock last night
it stopped about half a mile East Of
the town and the Sheriff and his
deputies, with their prisoner, left the
cars.
About fifty men who had got on
the train at Ellenwood alighted at
the same place. They were met by
a small party from Great Bend and
the prisoner was taken away from
the officers. A rope was thrown
around his neck and be was dragged
behind horse at full gallop to the
town. There the rope was taken
hold of by a swarm of men and boys
who dragged the wretched negro
by this time dead-to the billiard
hall where he committed the crime.
Here there was an immense crowd,
wild with excitement. The body
was quickly suspended to the avn
ing in front of the building, when a
shot was fired by some one in the
crowd into the corpse. 1t hung
about fifteen minutes, when it was
cut down by the Coroner.

General Grant at Work.

New YORK, April 90.-General
Grant still continues to improve in
health. In an interview with Col.
Fred Grant, had this evening, he
said:
"The General dictated to the stem
ographer for nearly an hour, enough
matter to make twenty-five or twen-
ty-three pages of his book. He is
now debating the Appotmax cam
paign, and from his dispatches and
other data is enabled TO give a per-
fectly straight and lucid account to
the stenographer. He is without
doubt looking and feeling better
than he has at any time since the
1st of December. We are now al
most certain of his complete restor-
alton to health. He will remain
here until the first of July, when
he will go to Mount McGregor. obout
eleven miles from Saratoga. That
is at present all the arrangements
that have been made. / have not
had chance to know exactly what
the doctors had to say on Wednes-
day, but believe their report was
favorable one. He experiences
no difficulty whatever in swallow
ing or speaking. and his improve
ment within the last few days is
really phenomenal.
Harrison, the Generals faithful
valet, fully corroborated every par,
of the statement in regard to the
Generals recovery, and says that he
knows, from his own personal OBJ.
servation, that the General is better
now-and continues to improve in
every way-than he was during the
last two months. DR.. Douglass
who came, as usual, at ten o'clock
was asked during the morning il
the cancer at the base of the tongue
had not improved with the general
betterment of the patient and if the
cancerous lump was an open sore
In replying, he said he could moi
affirm that there had been an inn
provement of the cancer. 1t was
difficult to tell about that. The
cancerous lump was not an open
sore. The darting pains that have
their seat in the cancerous lump on
the tongue still continued, but were
not SO frequent nor 30 severe as they
had been.
In response to further questions
the Doctor could not say that the
infrequency and lessened severity
of those pains indicated an i'm.
proved condition of the cancer.
There was, in every way, improved
conditions aside from the cancer
relative to which the Doctor de-
clined to speak further than as stat

Massacred by Indians.

BArrLEFoRD, April 29.-The re-
port of the massacre at Frog Lake
by the Indian allies of Riel is con-
firmed by the Fort Pitt garrison, who
have arrived here. The priests were
beaten to death and burned. The
Indians burned all buildings at Frog
Lake and compelled the people to
attend church, victims and murder
ers going together. After service the
Indians shot ten of the helpless
whites.
Before the fight at Fort Pitt Fac
tor Mclean visited Big Bears camp
and had conference with that chief
from whom he claimed protection.
The Chief compelled him to write a
letter to the civilians telling them to
come in or be killed, and to the po-
lice to surrender their arms and
leave. The civilians complied with
the request and wentinto Big Bears
camp, but the police refused to sur
render theirarms and a fight ensued.
The police drove the Indiana back.

Policeman Cowan was killed and
Policeman Lonsby was wounded.
The police then fitted up a scow
with which they reached Battleford.
The Indians are in great numbers
around this town, and kept up a
steady fire last night.
General Middleton's forces had
their first encounter to-day with the
insurgents, a slight skirmish taking
place between a few of his scouts
and party of half-breeds, in which
nobody was hurt.

House at Harrisburg, on Thursday
last. As soon as it was read Mr.
Morgan, of Philadelphia, offered an
amendment to reimburse all per-
sons who have money invested In
real estate that is occupied IN the
manufacture or sale Of liquors.
This was carried by vote of 80
yeas to rs nays. A. ]. Colborn and
W. S. Morgan voting nay. A mo-
ton was made to postpone the bill
indefinitely, on which the vote was
so nays to 50 yeas. Messrs. Col

bill was then postponed for the
present by vote of 50 yeas to s.
nays. Judging from these two votes
it looks as if there will be no pro
hibition, this time again.
