OFF the TRACK. The evening ex-
press on the C. & A, w. railroad was
delayed on Menday some two hours b1
the pay-car colliding with freight and
blocking the road. The rumor that the

which was the reason theexpress could
not pass it, IS wholly unwSrranted. II
seems the pay-train ran into the Galena

severely and throwing the paycar of

about five hours.

floor, an invalid, and unable to help him-

Dewey ascended, broke glass with DIS

descended for some implement to
break il with. Meantime Belden's shrieks
for help were loud and agoniZIng. AS
Dewey reascenied his cries died away. The
smoke and flames poured from the window
so that no help could be given him. Dr.
Dewey hearing calls from another window
hurried to the rescue and though only
man Of light build, dragged a hundred and
eighty pound patient through the window
and bore him TO the ground. The building
was used as an in6rmary. Many OF the IN

That the furnace was rooted by sheet iron,

Kankakee has no fire department and the

CARRYING The RED FLAG.

Communists Under Their Own COlors Pa
rade and Are Addressed in Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, January lS.-For the first
time since the railroad riots in 1877, the
red flag was carried in procession through
several ofthe principal streets in the bitter
cold of tonight About one hundred men,
mostly striking cigarmakers, followed fife
and drum, black flag, red flag (both OF
paper muslin) and several transparencies
containing illusions to empty stomachs and
impending revolution, from over the Rhine
to Fountain square. There German ad-
dressed small audience, calling attention
to the fact that Cincinnati had IS, 900 unem-
ployed workmen; that either reiet or revo-
luton was inevitable, and that in par
,icular the cigar firm of Krohn, Feiss &
Co. would be remembered by the strikers,
from whom something practical would be
heard when the weather got warmer.
The fine buildings around the square, he
said, were the property of rich men, who
must divide with the suffering wageworkers.
The affair attracted no attention, beyond
exciting curiosity among those who wit
messed it.

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The Clarksburg News, in well consid-

declares in favor Of change in the law
governing challenges in criminal cases. AS
it now is the chances are against fair trial
of a Eelon, as he can by shrewd manipula-
ton secure a panel, especially in murder
case, that will hang" the jury. Ger
tainly the changes proposed by the News,
or others similar to them, are sadly needed,
and should receive the attention of our
