LoGANsPoRT, June 8-Engineer George Burk,
who was fatally injured in the wreck at Wind
fall last week, which was planned by three viii
lains who are now in Jail, gradually grows worse
and cannot survive many days. The feeling
against the scoundrels responsible for his condi-
ton is growing intense and there is strong :alk
among railroad men of lynching the entire gang
In order to throw the railroad men off the scent,
the prisoners have been removed several times,
and it is not known now positively where they
are held. Burk is one of the oldest men in the
employ of the company, and the circumstances
that brought about the accident which will cost
him mis- life hare created the most widespread
indignation One or two courageous leaders
could organize mob here in thirty minutes
The authorities in Howard county will doubtless
remove the prisoners to place Of safety.

without a Newspaper.

One of the readiest and saddest COM
mentaries upon the condition of a
family circle is the absence Of a nesos-
paper. Here and there-rarely 'tis
true-are to be found families with SC
little regard for intellectual food that
this condition Of things is found. The
parent who thus fails to provide thing
so essential to future usefulness and
comfort is lost to all the higher ele-
ments of humanity. An exchan5e
well says: How many families are
thus growing up utterly ignorant OF
what is transpiring in the world around
them-ignorant of the mighty events
of the day. But who can tell of the in
jury inflicted upon the rising genera
tion those who are to take our place
at no distant day-growing up without
any knowledge of the present or study
read of the past this ignorance, too, be-
ing imbued into them by the sanction Of
those who should, and doubtless do
know better. did they only think of the
injurious effects of their insane course.
Let the head Of the family think Of
this, and place in the hands Of those for
whom he is responsible, the means of
acquiring some knowledge Of the NOV.
ing panorama in which we act our
different parts.

A Novel Suit.

A case was on trial in New York
last week in which Miss Nellie Gahan
brought suit for $50, 900 against the es-
tate of the late Mrs. John A. Roebling.
Miss Gahan was Mrs. Roebling's maid
or companion for some years, and she
claimed that she remained in close and
faithful attendance on that lady, who
was a confirmed invalid, on considera-
tion that she should eventually be pro-
vided for as literally as any of the de-
ceased's relatives. When Mrs. Roeb-
died plaintiffs hopes were disappoint-
ed, and hence the suit. Under the
civil code of New York Miss Gahan,
who was one Of the witnesses to the
will, was debarred from testifying in
her own behalf, and hence was COM
PEELED to depend on the evidence of
those who were in the habit of convers-
ing with the late Mrs. Roebling, and to
whom the latter may have mentioned
her intentions regarding Miss Gahan.
1t seemed to be pretty well established
that Mrs. Roebling did several times
state to disinterested parties that she
meant to provide for Miss Gahan il she
continued to remain with her and take
care of her. The jury on Saturday
awarded the plaintiff S., 900, one-tenth
of her claim.

III. b. CIafiin's Business Ways


A man who was long connected
with the Claflin house says that the
actual business of the firm in recent
years has been from $4O,0 100000 to
St5,0O0,000 annually. The invent
ory Of the establishment would aver
age about s6,0OO,00O. Mr.. Clahin's
mind dominated the whole concern.
He had engineered the building up of
every department, and was conse-
quently the master of its every detail.
He carried this weight in spite of his
advancing years, without worry. The
only occasion when he showed anxiety
about his affairs was when, during
the panic of 1884, the firm was
threatened with disaster. Its credits
we're very large, snd when a sudden
check was given to trade all over the
country, Clafin & Co. of course felt
the result. An expert who was called
in at the time to unravel the tangled
condition of affairs was paid $4,000
in cash for his work. In one night
5000 letters were written to the debt
ors of the firm stating the pressing
need of cash, and the replies brought
in about 100000. This was one
of the helps that tided over the cris-
sis. Mr.. Claain's physical activity
was to the last remarkable Che died in
his 74th year,, and he would dodge
about all oyer the building, never

Mr.. Clafin had a wonderful gift in
regard to account books. He would

and, without actually adding up the

wrong. An instante is related in
which, some years ago, on thus run
ming on some of the books, he intuit-
vely perceived an error. He told his
partners and after long search they
