not SO celebrated, Joe Mann, Of DanVille,
once defended man charged With murder

Mann exhausted their talent in his defonoe,

as the reading of tee verdict broke the
stiffness of the court room, Voorhees, sprang
to his feet, seized Mann by the srm with
clutch that nearly took piece out, and In
hoarse, commanding whisper, said Come
Oh! Let's take walk" They left the
court room and walked in silence down the
strest for some distance. Then VOORHEES,
stopped, laid his hand on Mann's arm, and
said impressively:
Joe, you're good citizsn, and believe If
Justice is done you you'll get TO heaven. We

RODE DOWN TO DEATH.
FrightfuI Disaster on a Gravity Road at
Reading, Pa.

READING, Pa, August 22.-A horrible
accident occurred this forenoon shortly be-
fore IL o'clock on the Mount Penn gravity
railroad,a mountain route encircling Mount
Penn 500 feet above the city of Reading.
The road was opened five months ago and
has been doing a good business ever since.
A car containing about eighteen passengers
was taken from the station to the top of
the mountain. This consumed about
thirty minutes. On the top of the noun
tain there is high stone tower, where
the passengers were allowed to alight TO
enjoy the scenery for thirty miles around.
At the tower car ran away while the pas
sengers were still on board. The distance
to the point of starting is five miles and il
is estimated that this was covered by the
runaway car in about three minutes, the
car attaining fearful speed and estimated
at eighty miles an hour. 1t remained on
the track to the foot of the plane, going
around all the curves while the passengers
shrieked in their fright and several jumped
Off When the car reached the station at
the foot of the plane it jumped the track
and rolled down fifty foot en-
bankment, where it landed upside
down with the passengers imprisoned in
side. The greatest excitement prevailed
and soon a big crowd gathered. Doctors
and the ambulance were sent for and the
dead and injured removed. Four were
taken out dead. They were Charles Bet
tew, aged 81, conductor Of the ill-fated car :;
Edward Levan, aged about 40; Miss Rosa
Pfeiffer young lady of this city, and Miss
Harriet Hinkle, of Philadelphia. The fol-
lowing will die: Mrs. Hiram Schiller and
Mrs. W. w. Schmel Among the others
injured are Sallie Rye and Mary Guthrie,
Of Wilmington, both badly hurt, and Willie
Schmel. of this city.

STIRS AN OLD FEUD.
ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN AGAINST The
STRIKERS.
Interviews Tend to Show That They Will Refuse to
Go Out in New York-A Day q Ex-
pectaney-Plans Of the K.
Of L. Leaders

New YORK, August 22.-The New
York Central strike has revived an old
feud. Engineers and fremen say they
will not assist the strikers. Several en-
gineerS and iiremen were seen by re-
porter, and one and all assented emphat-
ically that there was no intention on
their part of going on strike out of SYM
pathy with the X. Of L. One of the en-
gineerS said: I'VE are going to pay back
the knights of Labor In their own coin.
They went back on us when we were in
trouble, and now we intend to get
square"
In other words, the engineers are not
only not in sympathy with the strikers,
but are anxious to see them beaten, as il
means a Brotherhood engineer i'm the
place of every striking engineer belong
ing TO the Knights of Labor. Several
of both the engineers and liremen said,
relative TO the assertions that there was
an agreement between the Brother
hoods of Engineers and Fremen by
which the engineers are pledged not to
work with green firemen, that there
was no such agreement, and the engi-
uccIS are dI lOcIil W WOTk Win WHOm-
soever they pleased.
But" said one of the iremen. 81
do not think many liremen would strike
on this road, even if ordered to do So
The New York Central Railroad Com
panY has never done anything to antago-
niZe the members Of the knights Of
Labor working on the road, on the con-
trary, the Knights have always been ac-
commodated by the company. and when
they held their big meeting in Albany,
only two months ago, four special trains
were placed at their disposal to carry
delegates and members to and from the
meeting"

Another fireman, who Is a member Of

men, said: During my last few trips
between here and Albany | have seen
and talked with nearly every fireman on
the road between this city and Buffalo,
and with only a few exceptions all of
them said they had no thought of going
on a strike, but, on the contrary, they
were perfectly satisfied and would stick
to their engines"

SOME FIGHTING SAINTS.
The Dubbs Faction of the Evangelical
Church Goes to Law.

Church Goes to Law.
CLEVELAND, O., August 23.-Certain
prominent members of the minority
party" in the Evangelical Association
will take the most important action of
their lives to-day. The friends of Bish-
op Dubs have collected their forces, and
will make a united charge upon their
entrenched enemicS-the ESheritcS, So
called.
The three Bishops of the church have
been accused of various deeds unbecom-
ing ministers Of the Gospel within the
last year, and were suspended pending
final action in their cases by the Gen
eral Conference, which will not be held
before October, 1891. Bishop DubbS ac-
ccpted the results Of his trial, and has
not attempted to assume the episcopal
Office since his conviction. Not so with
the others. They have declined to ac-
cept the judgments Of the church
courts and have proclaimed themselves
as still occupying the episcopal Office.
\ petition will be filed in the Court OF
Common Pleas to-day for an injunction
to restrain Bishops Bowman and Esher
from excisng episcopal authority, TO
compel the management Of the Publish
ing House to report upon its business,
and TO recognize certain conferences eX-
communicated by the depoSed bishops;
TO order the Missionary Society to give
to certain conferences money appropri-
ated for missions within their territory,
and to force the editors of the church
periodicals to be impartial in their COM
mentS on all members of the AsSoca-
tion. and to publish communications
from the friends of Bishop DubbS as
well as from his enemies.
There are other steps in the premises
which the Court is asked to consider,
and upon the result OF this litigation
undoubtedly depends the future of the
denomination.

IRELAND IN WANT.
SUFFERING FEARED AS A RESULT OF TIE
POTATO BLIGHT.
MOI More Than One-Third Or Ons-Half a Crop Viii
be Secured in Many SsciiOns-Measures
Of Relisf-General For
eign News

LONDON, September 22.-The Dduy
Nclcs publishes an urgent appeal to the
public for active measures to prevent
famine and misery in Ireland on account
OF the potato blight
The matter is declared to be one en-
tirely apart from mere politics, and to
present an emergency appealing to the
instincts of common humanity.
1t is expected that a national sub
scription on a large scale will soon be
undertaken for the purpose OF furnish
ing sufficient food for the inhabitants Of
the stricken districts.
Reports from 9j centers OF population
in County Donegal shows that the potato
blight is gravest in congested districts
like Falcarragh and Gweedorc, where
the crop is Il total failure. Even la the
richer parts Of the county there is less
than one-half Of the average crop.

THE CHANNEL SPAN
OF the Union Railroad Bridge Going Up
Very Rapidly.

During the past week the contractors for
the erection Of the superstructure Of the
Union railroad bridge. Messrs. Baird
Bros, have made the chnnel span fairly
Jump, and last evening there was as much
on more iron in place on top of the false
work as when the timbering was carried
away. some three months or more ago. II
good weather should last during the next
three or four days, the span will be out OF!
any danger from an accident such as came
about when some four or five hundred tons
of iron and steel was dropped into the bot
tom of the river, and the span would stand
even though every stick of timber was
knocked out from under il.
The work of erecting the span is pro
ceeding differently this time from the
method inaugurated before the accident
When the hosting of iron was first COM
mcnccd, every alternate floor beam was
placed in position. the connecting bars
were hooked up. and the ilOOr system CON
nected at either end with the spans east
and west of the channel SPAN this done,
the work of putting up the truss was COM
menccd. and some four or five sets of up
rights were in place when the false work
was carried ont and the superstructure.
which had been disconnected at each end
in expectation Of an accident, fell.
When the contractors were ready 20 be-
yin hOisting iron this time, considerable
amount of the floor system, carried down
i'm the former accident and which had To
be renewed had not arrived from the shops
at Wilmington. Del, and the contractors
planned to erect the truss first, putting IN
the floor system after the truss was up.
Work was commenced about the centre Of
the span, 30 feet in length, and has been
proceeding towards the Ohio shore. Last
evening the west segment OF the truss,
measuring from the centre 10 the west end,
was nearly in place, and that part Of the
work will probably be completed by to-
morrow evening The big traveller, nearly
or quite one hundred feet high, will
then be moved out 10 the centre OF
the false work again, and the east half OF
the truss viii be swung up. il is the hope
of the engineer and contractors 10 see
this work completed by Wednesday night
next. in which case as has been stated, the
span would stand if the false work were
swept out from under IT, 1t is likely that
that the next two weeks will see the big
span completed, and il il were necessary, IL
is probable that trains could be run over
the bridge in three weeks from to-day.
Many people 20 up 10 the bridge every
dav 10 watch the wOrkmen perform before
high heaven. and the way some Of the men
trOt around on top Of the truss. one hun
dred and eighty feet above the bed Of the
river. is calculated 10 hasten the circula-
ton in the veins of the most phlegmatic
individual
