WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. THE
President got off safely this after
noon for New York. just before 60
ing somebody asked him If he would
be the guest of secretary Whitney.
He said it depended upon the state
of his mind on the trip. This led to
story by the private secretary.
The President will not stop with
Whitelaw Reid, you may be sure.
Soon after his election, last Novem-
Der, the President dined in New
York where Whitelaw Reid was q
guest. The editor found opportunity
to speak to the President. "Mr.
President" said he, when may have
the honor to expect you to dine
with me?"
"Mr. Reid" replied the President,
II distinctly remember during the
recent campaign an editorial in the
Tribune that stated that ate with a
knife and was not fit to go into q
decent mans house. Under the cir
cumstances ! should think you
would hardly expect me to come to
your house." Reid tried to laugh
the matter of, but Mr.. Cleveland
turned his back OH Reid and ignored
his presence during the rest Of the
evening.

The Democrats of Virginia have
nominated General Fitzhugh Lee for
Governor, Hon. John E. Massey for
Lieutenant Governor, and Rufus
Ayers, ESQ.,, for Attorney General.
This is thought to be very strong
ticket, and will bring out the full
party vote in November. The con-
vention which made the nominations
was one Of the largest and hest ever
held in the State. The best of feel.
ing prevailed during the entire SEES
sion, and but one sentiment seemed
to pervade the body, and that was to
bury Mahone's man Wise and his
whole ticket beyond the hope OF
resurrection. General Lee was one
of the most successful and popular
officers in the Confederate army, and
his canvass must arouse great en-
thusiasm throughout Virginia, where
the military spirit has ever been
prevalent, and the name of Lee a
tower of strength to any cause with
which it is allied. The Democracy
of West Virginia sends greetings to
the old mother. and bids her God
speed in the struggle against Ma
hone and his piratical crew.-Mown-
tain Herald.

pointed Consul General
to ERynt.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Another
West Virginian has caught on. This
time it is the Hon. E. Boyd Faux
ner, of Martinsburg. Mr.. Faulkner
has been an aspirant for the Belgian
mission or SEINE other position in the
diplomatic service of an equal grade.
To day it was decided to give him
the position of Consul Generalship
to Egypt, and he has dictded to ac-
cept it. The appointment will be
made and formally announced this
week before the President and Mr..
Bayard leave for New York on Fri
day to attend the funeral of Gen
eral Grant. Mr.. Faulkner and
his brother, the Judge, were in
the city to-day and saw both the
President and Secretary Bayard.
Why he did not get the desired mis-
sion to Belgium is not known, but
the one it has been decided to give
him is considered almost as desira-
BILE.
This is very important, if not
one of the most important consul
ates. The compensation is $4,000
and fees.
G. P. Pomeroy, of New Jersey, is
the present incumbent. Cairo is the
modern capital of Egypt. Her popu-
lation is about 800, 900 Inhabitants,
consisting of natives, Nubians,
Franks, Jews and several other ma
tionalities, including about $4,000
Europeans. The city, as every one
knows, is on the banks of the Nile
and about the center of the State.
1t is noted for its mosques and pic
turesque architecture and varied and
wonderful scenery. Among the
many curiosities are the tombs OF
the Caliphs. The climate is mild
and the fruits Of the tropics grow in
abundance. Its commerce is exten
sive and growing. From health
standpoint it is rated lower than any
European city, owing chiefly to the
concentration of filth among the in
Vulnerable abodes of the pauper
classes which are legion. Historic
ally this city has few equals for the
literature and seeker Of book lore.

The aggregate of money payments
by the Navy Department to John
Roach since 1862 foots up the enor-
nous sum of 1898 1926, besides an
immense value in old ships turned
over to him during Robeson's and
Chambers terms. Yet the govern
ment has no navy to speak of. John
Roach has made an assignment and
his creditors suffer loss. Repub-
lican newspapers are declaring him
to be badly used man. Who is
worst used, the government, John
Roach, or his creditors? The $780,
600 he contributed to the Blaine
campaign fund wonld not have paid
all his liabilities but would have

President Cleveland's reply to the
man who had informed him that the
appointment of certain man as
Judge, was a bad one, and who had
at the same time signed the petition
which secured the appointment re-
ferred to, contains the most CON-
mendable principals ever advanced
by any President. Nothing could
be more suggestive of its merits
than it's unbounded popularity.
The newspapers all over the country,
it matters not to what party they
belong or what position they have
heretofore taken in regard to the
Presidents way of doing business,
heartily sanction the President
harsh reply. The fellow is justly
and completely laid out. This lit
tie circumstance ought to be warn
ing to every one. No one should put
his name to paper simply because
he likes to write it when the one
who it proposes to benefit is not de-
serving of the assistance.
The person who is asked to sign
one of the many petitions now afoat
should remember that by aiding a
man, who does not deserve the posi-
ton he seeks, he does a great injus-
tice both to the country and the Ad-
ministration. 1t is not to be sup
posed that the President personally
knows every man in the United
States. No, it is hardly probable
that he is acquainted even with the
small crowd that present petitions
to him asking the appointment of Sc
and SO to such and such an office.
The strength of a petition depends
largely on the number of names ii
bears and name put down with
the hope that the bearer will not Sc
cure his sought for prize counts
just as much towards securing an
appointment as one put down in
good earnest. Let there be little
more care in signing petitions. Let
men be men-seek honest and good
appointments and not aid a rogue in
getting a position.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
How a Brave Woman saved
Her Children and Herself
from q Fearful Death.


ing incident occurred on the line
of the Pope's creek branch of
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
last evening, in which a woman dis
played presence of mind and heroism
in her efforts to save the lives of her
self and two little children so remark
able as to be almost beyond belief.
A few miles south of Marlborough
on the Pope's creek branch of the
railroad, is chasm which is spann-
ed by an open trestle bridge about
two hundred feet long. From the
bridge to the bottom of the chasm
at the deepest point is perhaps sixty
feet. The railroad approaches this
bridge around sharp curve, and
the engineer of passenger train can
not see the bridge until very near it.
Yesterday afternoon about half past
five oclock, as the Pope's creek south
bound passenger train sped around
the curve nearing the bridge, the en-
gineer was Mortified to see a woman
crossing the bridge on the railroad
track, carrying in her arms an in
FAINT and leading by the hand a
child of perhaps three years of age
The engineer at once applied the air
brakes and blew the danger signal,
but he saw it was impossible to
stop the train before it reached tae
point on the bridge where the woman
was. She heard the train approach
ing, turned and looked at it, saw the
horrors of her situation at one quick
intense glance. Below the heavy
rains had filled the chasm until it
had become a turbid torrent. To
jump from the bridge would be to
find death from the roaring food.
To remain where she was few Sec
onds longer would be to meet death
by being crushed beneath the train.
Several parties who were near the
track at the time and who saw her
desperate situation frantically
screamed to the engineer to stop the
train. This he needed no urging to
do, but he was powerless, although he
struggled until the sweat stood out
in great drops from every pore. Then
he rushed forward toward the front
of the locomotive with the intention
of essaying the daring feat of seiz-
ing the woman and dragging her to
the cow-catcher. At this moment
the woman caught both children in
one. arm; with the other arm she
firmly seized one of the ties on
which the track is laid, and swung
herself between the ties and below
the bridge, and the train passed over
her. 1t was so quickly done that
the spectators supposed she had
jumped from the bridge.
As soon as the train could be
stopped, Conductor C. A. Haver-
stick and Brakeman Honeyman
rushed back to where the woman
was seen to disappear. They found
her clinging to the tie with one arm,
and holding her two little ones with
the other. From this perilous posi-
ton they we're soon rescued, the
woman very much exhausted, but all
of them without a bruise or q scratch
to evidence their fearful proximity
to death. The brave woman proved
to be Mrs. James Duncan, the wife
of farmer residing near the scene
of the thrilling escape.
