LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
STRUCK BY AN ENGINE-Ye sterday fore
noon railroad section man named Hugh
Mooney was doing some work on Front
street when the locomotive Governor Stan
ford approached him, and, as he was stand
ing close to the track upon which the en-
CINE would pass, and apparently had not
heard her coming, though the bell was
ringing, the yard men called out to him.
He started quickly, and, probably suppOs
ing the Stanford was moving upon the track
he was working on, he stepped over to the
next track, and directly in front of the
engine, which was not more than ten or
fifteen feet away. The engineer did all that
was possible TO check the engines motion,
though, knowing that ii was too late to
avoid striking the man, his heart almost
stopped beating as the thought of the prob
able consequences flashed through his
mind. Luckily, however, MONEYS posi-
ton was such that the pilot struck him on
the hip, forced HIM from the track, turned
HIM around and caused him to fall, and
when he fell his head struck upon some
thing which cut the scalp slightly. There
was rush of bystanderS to his assistance.
and much qualification was expressed when
it was found that his injuries were not more
severe. The engineer, who began to get
over his distress, declared that he would
not undergo such an experience again for
the entire railroad Mooney was taken to
the Railroad Hospital and examined, and
it was found that, beyond a little bruising
and the slight cut on his scalp, he was as
well as ever.
THE SECOND LEcTURE.-Professor Trip
was greeted with another good audience
last evening to hear his second lecture. He
traced the rise and fall of the Ottoman
power in Europe, the modification OF Tur-
key at the treaty of San Stefano and Ber-
lin, the complications that led TO the late
Franco-German, Bussio Turkish and At
ghanistan wars, the TuniS embroglio, the
Egyptian war by England and the military
movements of the French in Tonquin. He
also dwelt at length upon the critical rela-
lions now existing between Russia and
England, and which may within the next
twenty-tour hours eliminate in a war, the
effects of which will be felt throughout the
civilized world. The lecture is illustrated
by a large number of colored maps designed
expressly for this course of lectures. His
remarks upon the perilous situation of
England showed that he thoroughly under
stands the political status of that country

METEoroIITAN THEATER.- Monte Cristo'
for the last time tonight 1t should be
seen by all lovers of the melodrama. 1t is
given by the Davies company with
great vigor and strong dramatic effect
FL 1t is well-mounted and in all respects does
credit to the company and to the manage
ment. The popular price list has thus far
been approved by the old theater-goers
who have not, as was prOphesied, refused
their patronage because a round dollar is
not charged. On the contrary, more of
them have attended since the opening of
the experimental season than prior TO it.
1t has so long been insisted that dollar
sittings are too costly and out of keeping
with the period, that now, when a manage
ment enters upon the experiment of a cut
of one-half, and at the same time keeps
upon the stage full and thoroughly COM
petent company, the public should testify
TO the sincerity of its demand for a reduc-
ton by the most liberal patronage.
