A Thrilling Tragedy.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, August 27.-
Among the passengers on an early ex-
press tram from this city for New York
this morning was a well-dressed old man,
who was accompanied by a little girl.
Nothing unsual in the actions of either
attracted the attention Of the other pas
sengers until just before the train reach
ed Holmesburg Junction, a way station
ten miles from this city. At this point
the old gentleman said something to his
young companion and went forw ard and
stepped out on the platform, and although
the train was running at a high rate OF
speed he jumped off. The little girl,
who had been watching him, saw him
Jump, and before the passengers realized
what she intended to do she had run to
the front of the car and jumped off also.
The train was backed and the man was
found dead and the girl insensible. They
were brought to this city, When the
gial recovered consciousness she SAID
that the old gentleman was her father,
and that his name was Stephen Beck.
and that hers was LelaD Beck. and
that the lived in st Clair County, Hi
nois. aud were bound for Hamburg, Ger
many. On the body of Beck were found
two checks on the st LOUIS Bank for T.
900 marks and sos in money. The child
died shortly after reaching the hospital.
