Two Newly Made widows,

 It is said that some of the chief railroads in the country employ special persons to in form the bereaved family when an employer has been killed. Considering that every year a small army of men meet their death on the track, the statement is not incredible. An old railroad man at Reading who has dis charged this painful office gives the following among other experiences:
 "It was only few days ago that went to g home and found the wife chatting and laughing with neighbor's wife while she was at work among her rose bushes and flowers. She hadn't been married very long. first asked whether her husband was al home. She stared at me, became white as piece of chalk, then shrieked and fell among the plants. I helped to carry her into the house.
 He's dead; my husband is dead. Iknow he has been ki1ledl
 "'Who told your I asked, when she re- vived.
 NO one. I only thought so. Is it trueF
 "It was easy then to finish my eIrand." "T once called on Q woman to tell her her husband had been killed by striking against an overhead bridge. This was three yeara ago. near Philadelphia. The wife curled up her lip and replied:
 "'If he's been killed, heaven has revenged me. He abused ne long enough. He'll abuse no more women now f'That was the easiest job in my line ever had. Five minutes later the woman was in mysteries and tears"

A sICKRNING SIGHT,

Am Italian Boy Mangled at the Water
 Street Crossing-Negleetedf for Half an
 Hour-Taken to the Hospital.
 Shortly before o'clock yesterday morning most sickening sight was presented at the Water street crossing. An Italian boy, An drea Cowano, started to run across the tracks with two 1oaves of bread under his arm when he was struck by a Northampton freight train, thrown down and his arm com. pletely severed from his body. Instead of fainting he got up and leaned against 8 switch house for almost half an hour before anyone would aid him. The employees about the crossing showed most heartless neglect and alleged that their regular duties were all they could attend to.
 Many Italians quickly congregated but showed no sign of helping the poor boy, who was growing weaker every minute. One ot them picked up the severed arm and we7 going to have it replaced on the stump. At last an expressman took the boy to the hos pital where he WIFI as well as could be ex- pscted at last reports. It is said that boys are continually tanning back and forth over the tracks and it js strf1ge that more are nst hurt.

With loye-like kindness. he offered to explain the game to her as it progressed, though she insisted, with that pretty little child like manner which was so dear to him, that she feared he would find it hard to make her understand on account of her dullness. "Now, if there's anything you don't un- derstand just ask me. won't you deara' he said, as he bought two official score cards and looked over the array of talent.
 "AIl right" she gurgIed. tWhat has that boy got in that sort of a tin basket he is car rying sroundp

 The work of the Young Women's Christian association has increased so rapidly the past year that the managers find themselves great Iy in need of more room in their present building. The growth of the work has made the fact evident that some means must be taken to provide for those who are desirous of availing themselves of the privileges of the association. Only twenty girls can be accom- modated at the Home and the superintendent says there ought to be rooms for sixty this fall. This matter has been laid before some of the gentlemen of the city, who were invited to meet the officers and executive committee at the Home for this purpose. Among those present were Messrs. Hiram Camp, W. W. Converse, H. F. Shares, J. Porter, C.B. Bow CTS, s. H. Moseley, E. R. Bliss and F.S. Brad ley. Much interest was expressed in the work and a most generous subscription was started, which the managers of the associa- ton hope will be ineyeased in order that the new building may be had.
