Saturdays Accident on the L. VRR.
Thomas Moore, one Of the best known
engineers on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
was instantly killed at Hokendauuua at
half-past three o'clock Saturday after
noon. Mr.. Moore was the engineer of
the fast passenger locomotive William
II. Stevenson" No. POP, built at the
shops at Sayre, of which James Weaver,
Is master mechanic. The engine had
been repailed in the shops there the
week previous and was sent to Easton
for trial on the Easton and Amboy
railroad and to test a spark arrester
gotten up by Mr. Weaver. 1t left Mauch
Chunk as the first section of the train
that arrives Mt Easton at 4. 20 p. m. with
James Andrews, formerly of Phillips
burg. as fireman and Engineer Vim.
Zehner, of this borough, as pilot. As
the train is fast one Mr.. Moore had to
run at lively speed to keep out of its
way. Everything ran smoothly till the
engine reached Hokenlauqua. where its
stack struck an overhead bridge. The
stack was broken off short and thrown
back on the cab, crushing in the top of
the house and mangllng the top of Mr..
Moore's head. Mr. Moore was found
dead on the floor of the cab with his
head against the rear door, Mr.. Zehner
was slightly injured abont the head, but
the fireman escaped unhurt. Besides
the smashing Of the cab, the oilcups and
steamguage were broken, causing the
steam to escape in large quantities. The
engine ran to Catasauqua, a mile dis
tant, before 1t could be stopped. It was
siie-tracked there and fro drawn by
the fireman. The accident was caused
by the stack of the engine being several
inches higher than those on the loco
motives running on the Lehigh division.
The remains of the dead engineer were
dressed at Catasaulua and sent to
Wilkcsbarre on an evening train. Mr..
Moore was about forty-two years of age
and a number of years ago was married
to Miss Miriam Levan, daughter of
Henry Levan, Of Easton, who survives
him. Their residence was at Wilkes
barre. He was nephew of Cashier
Morris, of the Lehigh Valley railroad.

A Case Of Forgery.

On Saturday evening a man named
George Sherer, who claimed that he
was employed by rhos. Weaver, at the
Lehigh Gap stone quarry, visited sever
al of our stores and purchased goods and
offered in payment a check, calling for
$1,000, and signed by Thos. Weaver, of
Packerton: which was refused by the
suspicious merchants. Not Succeeding
in the several stores he went to Thos. j.
Beck's beer bottlng establishment, and
ordered several boxes of beer. &C., and
rendered the check in payment: Sherer
saying that he was employed by Weav-
er, &C., &c. Beck accepted the check,
paying the difference. Shortly after
Squire Beltz met Beck. the latter spoke
OF the matter, asking as 10 its validity.
Squire Beltz examined the check and at
once pronounced it forgery, he (Beltz)
being very familiar with Mr.. Weaver's
signature. Thereupon Beck swore out
a warrant which was placed in the
hands of Constable Lentz, of Mauch
Chunk, who happened to be in town.
1t was ascertained that the man had
gone to Mauch Chunk, at which place
he arrested him, bringing him before
our worthy Squire, where, after an ex-
animation, he was held over to next
court,

An Accident Caused by Defective Brakes.
The Buffalo express on the Lehigh
Valley Railroad ran into a gravel train
Monday afternoon at deep cut ten
miles north of Wilkesbarre, The gravel
train was crossing the main track at the
time and the danger signal was hoisted
for the passenger to stop, but the air
brakes failed to work. The engine. after
smashing three of the gravel cars into
splinters, jumped the track and went
down a ten.foot embankment. The
fireman, Patrick Mahon, jumped, but
the engineer, Henry Stephenson, re-
mained at his post. He is not hurt in
the least, although the locomotive was
totally wrecked. The baggage car was
thrown upon the tender, and the baggage
man slightly injured. The passengers
were also badly shaken up. Travel
was delayed for over two hours.

The United States Senate has done its
share towards an act OF justice to one
of the Territories. Ii has passed the
bill providing iourth district Judge
for Montana. The judicial system
which prevails in the Territories is
ridiculous in that feature OF il which
provides for a supreme Court compris-
ing the three District Judges The
Supreme Court should be abol-
isbed or its composition changed.
for IL is now simply a farce.
Il is almost always idle IN carry
case into the supreme Court, unless
justice has been shamelessly outraged
in the District Court: any moderate
abuse OF the law VIII not be corrected
by the higher court. The judge who
tries the case also hears it on appeal,
reviewing his own acts and being one
Of taree TO pass upon his own decisions.

ass. nor is itlikely that his associates
are going to sit down on him

tons avoid it. first. they are not anx-
i,u. TO hart the feel ngs of brother
Judge. and secund, they expect him TO
do a good tur, for them when their
judgments are appealed from. you

rule that has always prevailed IN the
Utah Supreme Conf. aud it is to be
presumed that it is the rule elsewhere
The better way would he TO have a
Supreme Court made up of judges who
have nothing to do with the trialcourts; :
but as this cannot be expected. the plan
provided for in the Montana bill should
be adopted for all the Territories. If
the bill passed by the Senate shall be-
come law, the Montana Supremt Court
will consist OF the four .disiria judges.
but the judge who tried the case will
not be allowed To participat n the re-
view Of his decision on appeal.

DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS.

Senator George, Of Oregon. il The Sen
ate yesterday said the amount Of land
given BY Congress to railroad corpor-
ations between 1S6O and 1875, amounted
to 9.OOO, coo acres. That was giving
away the public domain for that period
Of ff cen years at the rate Of nearly
twelve million acres per year. And IL
the railroad corporations sell their
lands at the average price already rea-
liked on past sales it will amount to
