President CLEVELAND last week vetoed
Congressman sowden's bin for an appro-
priaticn for a public building at Allen
town. and signed Congressman lIeistand's s
bill for an appropriation for the same
purpose at Lancaster. Congressman
lieisiand is pnoiec,ionRcrublican and
Congressman Sowdlen is a protection
Democrat, the difference being very large
in President Ciercland's eyes. Allen
town was as much entitled 10 a public
building as Lancaster, but the opportu-
nifty Of making terrible example and
showing other Democratic opponents to

a freight train locomotive on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, exploded near Rawlings
Station this morning, while the train was
under way. Engineer J. J. Woodruff and
Fireman H. d. Kiizmiller were instantly
killed. The body of Woodruff was blown
TO atoms and his head found about three
hundred yards from the wreck. The body
of the fireman was not mutilated, but hor-
ribly scalded.
In gathering the remains of Woodruff the
Coroner drove little stakes into the ground
where each piece lay and when the UNDER
taker collected the fragments sixty stakes
marked the number of pieces of the mans
remains. The engine was one of the large
Mogui pattern, and was comparatively now.
Bits of the boiler were picked up five hun

Mr.. J. G. Wolfe gave an exhibition of
the working capacity of his grain meter
on Washington street, in Audubon, last
Saturday, and drew large crowd of
farmers, many of whom were threshers
of long experience, and all were unani-
NOUS in pronouncing it a grand success.
Mr.. Wolf has been engaged for over a
year in bringing it to perfection.
Though meter he had last fall worked
to satisfaction the one exhibited last
Saturday is in many points an improve
ment in that it is made lighter and in
some respects simpliiied. The meter
is truly q meritOrious invention, and
will take its place among the staple
implements wherever grain is handled
for measurement. The inventor is a
young man of energy and enterprise,
and deserving of the good fortune that
