A wheeling Pardon Case In Harrisburg
About Ave months ago John Riddle,
Peter Kress aud August Rust, young
men employed in the Crescent Iron
Works, were sentenced to four years and
six months each as accessories to the
killing Of a man in Washington county.
The young men had been fishing and
drinking and they became engaged in an
alteration. They say they were attack
ell first and stoned, The shooting was
done by fourth member Of the party,
who fed and has never been arrested.
The young fellows were industrious
and helped to support families. A
numerously signed petition has gone
from this city to Harrisburg, and among
the siguers is Mr., Whitaker, their former
employer, Since these young men were
not habitual criminals, did not do tbs
shooting were not parties to a murder
Gus conspiracy, and have already beer
severely punished, the ends Of justice
would not be interiered with by allow
ing them to come home and begin lif'
anew,
They arc otlikely to place Themselves
again in so serious a predicament
Wheeling is ready to receive them baGl
| il Pennsylvania will let them come.

encountered his honor just leaving

The Elevator In the EReI Tower.

The Americ an lift in the Elffel
tower, at Par is, was subject tOla
final test before handing 1t over
for public use. The lift, which
consists of two apartments, one
above the other, weighing 1000
kllogram mes, and loaded with
5000 kilogramnes of lead-that
is to say, weighing 1900 kiIogram.
mes-was rals ed to a considerable
height. There it was fastened
with ordinary ropes, aud this done
it was detached from the cables of
steel wire with which it was work
ed. What " as to be done was TO
cut the ropes and allow the lift to
fall, so as TO ascertain whether, if
the steel cables we're to give way,
the breaks would work properly
and support the lift. Two carpen-
ters, armed with great hatchets,
had ascended to the lift and we're
ready to cut cables on a signal.
There was great anxiety. The sig
nal 81 given, blow cut the rope,
and the enormous machine began
to fall. Every one was startled,
but in it's downward course the
lift began to moYe more slowly,
it swsyed for moment from left to
right, stuck on the break and stop
ped. Not a pane of glass in the
lift had been broken or cracked.
A powerful arm seemed to have
caught the lift in its descent and
to have stopped 1t without shock
at height of ten meters above the
ground.

HOW 1T ENDED.

The theater that night We attended
Sans chaperone, in a coupe
As Betty was deeply offended,
We didn't see much Of the play.
The truoble began in the carriage;
She vowed that she would never give
way,
That she never would dream Of marriage
With such a fiance.
She said, when Ipressed for the reason,
Twas a kiss that she saw me bestow
On my cousin-a bud Of the season
Whom Betty, by chance, didn't know,
IL did look rather suspicious,
At ball-in corner-lights low.
still, at most, il was just injudicloas,
Not criminal, no
She didn't know all my relations,
We've not been engaged quite week
80 the cause Of her recriminations
Was perfectly natural pique,
tried with a manner persuasive
Ny absolute pardon to seek,
But her answers. found, were eyasive,
Aud 50 was her check.
Then at last assumed the offensive
Her trust, proclaimed, was right,
was wounded, my many manner was
penslye,
Aud mourned for my iife's early
blight.
50 with sighs tha, my bosom were
rending,
And tears that obstructed her sight
Well I'm not going 10 tell you the
ending,
Butt kissed her good night.
