Thrilling Experience with an Insane Man

PTTsBUEG, November 4th Peter Ken
ney, employed as a telegraph operator at
lngraham Station, on the Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati and st, Louis Railroad. had an ad-
venture at an early hour this morning that
he will not soon forget. He was engaged
at his instrument, when he heard a noise
as if some one was trying to open the door,
but thought nothing of it, nor even looked
up from his work until startled by a touch
on his coat sleeve he turned partly around,
and to his horror saw q tall, gaunt figure,
dressed in white, with a long knife in its
hand standing directly over him. He
cleared the slight railing surrounding his
desk as single bound, but the strange
visitor was between him and the door, and
he began pleading for his life. The specter
made no move to follow him, except to
prevent his escape by the door, As the
ghostly creature made no advance, the op-
orator i'll a measure recovered his self-pos-
session and stood on the defensive iii the
furthest corner of the room. The appari-
ton then seated itself in kenney's chair
before the telegraph instruments, keeping
close watch on the movements of the op-
orator. They retained the same relative
positions for nearly an hour, during which
time the trains on the railroad approaching
One or two trains had been stopped for the
signal to go ahead. The crew of the first
train finally walked up the track to the tel
egraph Office to find out the cause of the
delay, when they discovered the operators
prediesment and subdued his captor after a
desperate struggle. 1t was subsequently,
learned that the strange visitor resided at
Sheridan Station, nearly q mile away and
had escaped from his home about mid
night.
Proposed Interesting Exhibit,
WASHINGTON, November 4th.-The Sec
retary of the Board for the promotion of the
proposed permanent Exposition of the
three Americas in this city in 1892, has re-
ceived letters of acceptance from members
ex-officio OF the Board, also letter from
Major Powell, Director of the Geological
Survey, in which he says that feature of
great interest might be made by collecting
say twenty groups of the most distinctive
Indian races in the country, with their
habitations, implements, ETC., and adds
" Among the tribes selected should be Es-
kimos, with their summering dwellings
Haidas, with their puncheon houses and
totem posts; Wintuns (or Mandans), with
their earth lodges Zunis, in their stone
pueblos, etc. And the Indians should haye
with them ponies, dogs, Gagged eagles, Gagged
turkeys, etc. To the greater number of
people in the United States an Indian is
an historical tradition. The few scattered
Indians that are seen in civilization no
longer illustrate the primitive traits, habits
and customs of the Indian in his primeval
home. Ii is yet possible to make such an
exhibition. though difficult; but in few
years n ore it will be impossible"

portant conference was held this afternoon

the knights of Labor, the latter withdrew
all the grievances of the strikers at
Troth's, with the exception of the one re-
lating to the question of wages, which will
be referred to arbitration. This was agreed
to by the Aid Committee, and practically
settles the difficulties at Troths mill. 1t

Board of the knights of Labor, in con-
nection with the Aid Committee, shall
have formulated a set of rules which shall
govern them in the settlement of all fur
ther difficulties between employees and en-
