Education In the south.

Baltimore Sun.
The most pleasing maifestation Of pro
gress in the South is shown in the growth
OF its educational facilities and the
largely increased number of readers Of
books, magazines and newspapers, espe-
cially among the younger generation
The power Of the press is making itself
felt with such rapidity that the time
seems not far distant when the average
young man may make a rule unto himself
to subscribe to newspaper, instead Of
casually glaneing over his neighbor's, in
order more fully to keep abreast with his
day and epoch. In some of the large
Southern cities the circulation Of good
newspapers has within the last few years
enormously enlarged, and it has been
observed that where many Of the young
men Of former days were addicted to at
tending displays Of long winded oratory.
chiefly for fun and for frolicklng around
the stump hosts of them at the pres
ent time now turn to their newspaper
before the days work is begun and to
the midnight lamp after it is performed.

An Engineers Responsibility.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
A nice question of responsibility was
raised by the engineer of shifting loco
motive on the Northern Central Rail
way at baltimore yesterday, who re-
versed the engine. set it at full speed,
and leaped with his fireman to place Of
safety. He was in a dilemma, but his
mind acted more quickly than the catas-
trophe which seemed imminent. He was
in the way of heavy and
swiftly moving express train /,
why he was in the way is not explained,
nor is the explanation necessary to the
central problem What was he to do
take the certainty OF collision with the
express or set his engine free on the bare
chance that 1t might somehow, however
desperately, be brought TO stand with
out disaster2 The point had TO be decided
in a fash Of thought, all the ins aud outs
Of it in lightning stroke; there was nc
time for deliberation. The decision made
was to save the express and let the
rest take its chance AS it happened, al
most by a miracle, the runaway engine
was brought up after great loss OF
property, without injuring any one; but
il might easily have happened that il
could have worked more mischief than il
he had assumed the simpler risk. Was
IL sound or mistaken judgment Of the
engineer2 Our own view is that he
acted wisely.

Returns from It's East

The matter of the franchise for a ca
BILE line, asked for by Anderson, Doug
lass & Co., is approaching a climax.
The council committee is back from its
Eastern tour of investigation. Presi-
dent Lowry also returned yesterday
from his trip to the Pacific coast. He
says that he considers that the street
railway company has an exclusive fran
chise, but does not propose to discuss
the matter until "the proper time"-
which means when the matter comes
before the courts, probably. As to the
cable line to take the place of the mo-
tor. he says the company is ready to
begin work, and go ahead at the rate of
500 feet day, when the council gives
the word.
The council joint committee on rail
roads and ordinances, which went East
two weeks ago to investigate cable and
electric railway workings, returned yes
terday. Aid. BradiSh, chairman of the
ordinance committee, who was one of
the party, said that in their investiga-
tions in New York, Washington, Balti-
more, Boston, Philadelphia and other
cities they about made up their minds
that electric street railways were still
an experiment. The cable car system
he thought still the best practical, street
railway system. In Philadelphia Mr..
BradiSh said the committee was enter
tanned by members of the Anderson
Douglas company and declared it to be
strong one, fully able to carry out its
promises.

A misunderstanding in regard to the
four indictments against William e..
Harley caused little cOmmOti0n in the
criminal court yesterday morning.
Harley was brought in for trial, his at
torney thought. on the charge of en-
bezzlement. while Attorneys Jamison
and Nye, for the state, understood he
was to be tried on the charge of larceny.
Harley had pleaded not guilty to the
two Indictment for embezzlement and
the two indictments for larceny had
been withdrawn.
When Mr.. Jamison opened the trial
for larceny. Mr.. Wellington, Harley's
attorney, objected, saying that they
came there to defend on the charge of
embezzlement. and didn't propose to
waive their rights.
Mr.. Nye explained that he was pres.
ent when HALEY entered his plea, and
stated that it was his Intention to press
the larceny indictments and withdraw
the others.
Carman Smith denied this, and there
was much warm talk before the state
was allowed to move the larceny cases.
The trial will begin this morning.

yesterday to be examined for insanity.
She was picked up on the streets beg

there will be hundreds of men in that
condition within week if she be al
lowed to goat her old vocation again.
Among the few scraps of dialect which
dropped from her speeding tongue. cool
enough to crystalline into words were the
following: "Oh, yer can't sell me to
no lunatlc asylum to make money out
of me. My heads all right; I'm not
crazy; no, sir. Now, if you wanted to
send me to the poor-farm | might go
long enough to get my clothes cleaned
up and get rested; but you don't sell
me to no lunatic asylum" The judge
said he thought she would be very
poor investment for any lunatic asylum.

The last meeting for the season of the
Congregational Club of Minnesota was
held last night at Plymouth Congrega-
tional church. A large rumber of the
members of the denomination gathered
at the church as early as o'clock in the
evening, and cheerful supper was
much enjoyed by them in the dining
rooms OH the second floor, and social
time was participated in both before
and after the repast. The Congrega.
tionalist have way of enjoying each
others company hugely on all occasions,
and this meeting last night at Ply
mouth church was no exception to the
rule. David G. Bell, a universal favor
ite in Plymouth church and among all
the churches of the city. has just re-
turned from his visit to Jerusalem and
turn of the Holy Land, and all were
eager to greet him on his return and
hear what he had to say of his visit.
He was one of the number
the parl ors. E. C. Starr, of Connect

and DR.. Wallace Nutting, of st. Paul,
were also speakers of the evening.
At the business meeting of the even
ing Prof. Gilbert, of St. Paul; Prof.

programme. however, was the lecture
in the main body of the church on
"Siderial Photography and the Total
Solar Eclipse of Jan. l, 1885," by Prof:
A. H. Pearson. of Carleton college,
Northfield. This gentleman of science
is we'll supplied with pleasing express
sions in which to make clear the learn

of splendid illustrations cast on a can-
vas in the front of the darkened audi
torium he gave most interesting lec-
ture on astronomy, dwelling longest on
the great eclipse which he observed
personally, in company of a party Of
scientists, the 1st of last January. This
is the last meeting of the club till next
