A Very Plucky Young Lady.

Miss Ida WakeIy, night telegraph
operator at Swanville Station, Pa,
on the Nickle Plate Road, was the
heroine of a thrilling encounter on
Saturday night. Shortly after mid
night on Saturday she heard some
one at the door, and a second later a
villainous face appeared at the win
dow.
The fellow demanded admittance,
which was refused He left but came
back with a large lump of coal, which
he threw against the window, crush
ing the lights. The man then made
a dash for the Opening. Miss Wakely
flashed the revolver in his face, and
ordered him to retreat. He stopped
to parley, saying: You wouldn't
shoot but the young woman took
deliberate aim, and the would-be
burglar withdrew his head from the
opening in the window, but he did
not leave. While the woman held
the desperado, who had drawn a
knife, at bay, she used the other hand
TO call the next station where a train
was sidetracked, and to her Joy
she caught the operator, whom she
informed of her dilemma. The engine
was detached and with the crew
aboard ran to the young woman's
rescue. While the crew We're coming
the burglar tried to induce her to
hand out the contents of the safe and
made blood curdling threats. When
the engine with the crew turned
sharp curve the burglar ran away in
time to escape lynching. The excit-
ing episode was too much for Miss
Wakely, and when relieved she fell
in faint.

The Louisiana Lottery.

A dispatch from New Orleans states
that the lottery question has been set
tied, as far as the Legislature is con-
cerned, by compromise which the
opponents of the bill, who were in u
hopeless minority, accepted as, 1.-THE
whole, better than an absolute defeat.
The compromise provides that the
lottery bill, which has passed the
House and is before the Senate, is to
be put through without obstruction,
the State accepting Sl,25O,000 year
for the privilege granted. This bill
is TO be submitted in the form of an
amendment TO the State constitution
at the next election in 1892, but before
that time primary election is TO be
held, at which the question of accept
ing or rejecting the company's offer
is to be submitted to white voters
only. If a majority is obtained for
the bill the anti-lottery people are TO
cease opposition to it /; but if the ma
jority of the white voters are against
it the company will withdraw its offer
and leave the State when its charter
expires. This compromise takes the
lottery question out of the next State
election as political issue, and will
pevent the split which it threatened
TO make in the Democratic party in
Louisiana.
