Rudolph Robinson, son of Charles Robin
son, On engineer on the New York Central
Railroad, who lives at Croton Landing, in
WestcheSter County, n. Y, was coasting on
Tuesday night OF last week down a hill which
crosses the railroad track. The hill is long, and
the sleds attain great velocity before they reach
the bottom, and speed Off long distance on the
fat after crossing the track On one OF the trips
down he saw the lightning express coming
down the track. Fearing a collision if he at
tempted TO cross the track, he threw himself
off his sled. He slid down TO the up-track and
was knocked insensible by his collision with s.
His sled was smashed to pieces by the express.
just then Croton special came up OH the up
track, on which young Robinson lay bleeding
and iuseDsibie. In the cab of the engine sat
young Robinson's father. lie saw the boy on
the track, reversed his engine. and put on the
brakes. The train stopped about six feet from
the boy. The engineer got out of the cab and
picked the boy up. When he recognized the
features and saw it was his own son he faiuyed.
The boy was not much injured.

Sailors In fhe GrN nd Armv

To THE EDITOR / have been a reader OF
your valuable paper for several years, but have
never ventured to write an article for publica-
ton, because l do not profess to be q writer
but have been impressed with an idea re-
garding the interest of the G. A. r, of which [
have been member for a long time and desire
to see it prosper.
L have often been asked why the sailors of
our Navy do not more generally join the
GAR, and when / have asked any of them
that question they reply that they are not no.
tlced or regarded with any interest by our Or
der They feel that they ere sighted in most
oil our Post meetings and elections, and in most
OF the great patriotic speeches, and | am not
sure but this is too generally the case Now,
my opinion is that they should be represented
IN our Order, from Department Headquarters
down to the subordinate Post; and / would
like to suggest for the consideration OF all COM
rades one idea, which is that all sailors or rep
resentatives Of our noble Navy who belon" to
our GAR. shall wear on parade the Navy uni
form and be designated from the soldiers by
the uniform OF the Navy. 1t is not strange
that they, being sailors, dislike to be uniformed
as soldiers, and am convinced that if this can
be brought about it will be the means of swell
ing our ranks on all occasions where VIC parade

Imprisoned IN a Cellar Eleven Years.

VIM. jackson Moore, OF Trideiphia, Wash
lngton Co, Pa, 81 years of age, went TO Pitts
burg on the 26th nit. to consult legal advice
concerning some property of which be says ne
has been defrauded by relatives. Moore says
that for eleven years his stepdanghter and her
husband kept him prisoner in a cellar, and
that he was not permitted to leave his prison
except occasionally at night, when he would be
allowed to walk about the yard, bound with
ropes. When visitors came to the house, an
extra precaution gag was put in his mouth to
keep him from making any outcry.
Some days ago he missed his usual allowance
Of food, which was passed to him through a
hole in tho door Hearing 10 sound in the
house, he determined to make his escape, and
with large stone which had worked loose in
the wall he battered The door down. His rela-
tives were nowhere to be found. and with
money which he discovered in one of the
drawers he came to Pittsburg. Previous to his
imprisonment he says he was forced TO make a
will in favor of his stopdaughter, and OH the
day preceding his incarceration the neighbors

FOR ANOTHER'S CRIME.
Imprisoned Five Years for . Murder He Didn't
Commit,

On the oath ult. Henry Digby walked out OF
q court at McLeansboro, H., having been de-
clared innocent Of the murder Of John Sinkler.
although he was five years ago declared guilty
of the crime and sent 10 the peHitentiary for IA
| years.
! The killing OF John Sinkler occurred some
thing over five years ago at Dighytown. a
| Hamlet near McLeansboTo. Sinkler was a Ken
| tuckian. and with his two brothers. Dick aud
| Perry Sinkler had been in business in Digby-
town about year. John SiDllor boarded with
an Englishman named John Dg6y. and was an
accepted sui;or Of Miss Eliza Digby, daughter
of his host. Everybody in the neighborhood
knew they were TO be married, and had been
| invited TO the wedding that was TO occur on
Sunday.
On the morning Of Friday, two days before
that set for :hc wedding, the community was
startled by the announcement that John Sink
Ter had been murdered. Sinkler in his dying
statement, said that he was sleeping soundly in
his room at John Dgbys. when he was awak-
ened a little after midnight by man standing
close by the bed. He jumped up and demanded
the business OF his visitor, who, instead of an
swCTng, graprled with him. The two men
struggled n few seconds, when the intruder
drew pistol, shot nkler. and fed. He said
he believed the man who shot him Henry
Digby, but the only motive he knew for the
killing was that Henry had not seemed willing
for his sister to marry Sinkler. On the strength
Of this statement Dghy was arrested, tried,
and sent TO Chester peniteDtiary for Ia years.
Not long afterward another sensation was
created by the marriage of Eliza Digby and
Dick Sinkler, brother Of the murdered man.
Then the ncighbors began To talk of the attach
nent that many believed to have existed be-
tween the two for some time past. and belief IN
the innocence of Henry Digby grew stronger.
Efforts were made TO secure his pardon, but
they failed.
About two years ago Dick Sinlller got into
row in the town of Belle River. and killed
man, for which he was sent TO the penitentary
for life. It was rumorod that he had acknowI-
edged to several persons that he had killed his
brother, and that Digby was Innocent. These
rumorS, while they have not been fully sub
stantiated, seem TO have furnished ground for
getting Digbys case before the Supreme Court,
where rehearing was ordered. On the 9th
the rehearing was concluded, and the evidence
declared insufficient to bold him, and now he
is a free man. after five years Of Incarceration
at hard labor for a crime he did not commit
Besides Dick Sinkler. who is serving life sen
tence for murder. two Others, whose evidence |
served to convict Digby, have been sent to the
penitentiary.
