leave tho engine, which they did. They
were followed by the other robber. Up
to this time none OF the other train hands
were aware that anything was wrong, but
when the train came TO stop, miles away
from tho nearest station, tho brak kemen
jumped off and ran forward to find what
was the matter.
AS they approached the engine they
were ordered back, with curses, by the
robbers, who threatened TO shoot them.
The engineer and fireman were taken to
the express car and told 10 order the mes
senger to open the door on pain of being
shot II he refused. The door was opened,
and all the money and valuables which
could bo found were placed In sacks. Fro
man Lovejoy was then ordered TO pick up
the sacks and carry them up the track to-
ward Goshen. lie was compelled TO carry
them for nearly mile; then he was told
to put them down and return TO his
train. While the robbery was going on
n tramp who had been stealing q ride on
the brake beam, crawled out from under
the train. The robbers at once opened fire
on him and fatally wounded him, three
buckshot lodging in his head.
AZ soon rs the alarm was given here a
special train, containing posse of armed
men, was sent to the scene of the robbery,
and the whole country In now being
secured. The amount stolen Is thought TO
be about s25.OO

The Burial Of Napier,

There was a great pageant in London
on Tuesday, when the body of Lord Ma
pier was laid to rest in st. Paul's cathe-
dral. OF late there have been many de-
scriptions of regal spectacles and process
sions, from the gaudy lord mayors show
to the funeral ceremonies of kings and
queens, and the progress of +" Bar
NUNS greatest show on earth"
The funeral of the the genuine hero
differed from all of these displays in the
sincerity of the respect shown by the
thousands Of spectators, and in the fact
that it was not "A mere effort to dazzle
and impress by pomp and bombast, but
demonstration Of the national appre-
citation of the high qualities of the old
field marshal whose remains were car
ried in no lofty funeral car with waving
plumes, but rumbled by on gun cal.
riage with flag thrown over the coffin.
The military pageant was imposing be-
cause Of the Eumber of troops, the si-
ience Of all aud the soldierly simplicity
ct the arrangements, but most of all be-
cause every one really honored the dead I.
sad the most powerful sovereign cannot
produce that sentiment to order, no mat
ter how grand the funeral.

Racing Around the World.

Two literary women are on the home
stretch Of race around the world, start
ing in opposite directions. Miss BLY,,
travelling for the New York World,
started towards the east from that city
and nine hours later Miss Bisland, for
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, started on a
westward journey from and to New
York. Miss Bisland is on the Atlantic
ocean and may appear without warning
and snatch victory from her rival in tbs
last hours Of the trip overland which
Miss BY has just sammameed. Travel
ing by the Southern Pacific the World
racer can hardly he much delayed by
storms, and stands first rate chance of
coming in far ahead and achieving the
object of the expedition-the advertising
of the newspaper. But no matter how
far in the rear, the Cosmopotiton traveller
is sure of the reward of keen foresight
and prompt action. The World enter
prise was bright idea in lis
way, but the Cosmopolitan has cap
tured and is using the thunder
of the noisy and sensational newspaper,
ard of all its jealous rivals as well. A
journey of the kind undertaken for the
magazine at another time would have
received very brief notice from the
metropolitan dailies, but when the
traveller goes to work on short notice to
rival the enterprise of hated contem-
porary of course the matter is given
plenty of attention, and the Cosmopoii-
tan makes rs much noise as the World.
But what good does it all do? Well,
1t gives to each one of many millions of
news readers fraction of a cents worth
OF amusement. No doubt If reader
could measure the value of the pleasure
gained from reading five cents worth of
good newspaper he would find it at
least equal to fifty cents worth of circus
or any other amusement. Then the
Journeys around the world will of
course be told in detail by the literary
racers, and the general information SO
|. gathered on the fly can hot fail to be of
interest and value.

LANCASTER, PA. January %, 1890.
sneaker Reeds Bunker Hill.


The arbitrary course of Speaker Reed
In refusing to have vote counted by
tellers must disgust all but the blindest
Of partisans, and in spite of the fact that
he was sustained by "a strict party vote
he will find that he has lost the respect
Of the best element of his party. For the
speaker TO refuse to permit q careful
count of vote Is not only against all
precedent but amounts to u usurpation
of tyrannical power that can not he long
sustained. His parliamentary victory
was dearly bought, for 1t has
revealed to the country the contemplate
smallness Of the man who has been
chosen to preside over the lower house
of Congress because of his supposed
strength of character and parliamentary
ability. He has proved that he is not
only without the first instincts of the
true statesman and parliamentary
leader but that he is quite unable to
appreciate the expediency of treating
even minority with fairness. Ii will
not do in these days TO pose as dicta-
tor, and arrogant Mr.. Reed, however
sure of his majority in Congress, may
find public opinion less servile and
more powerful. Parliamentary practice
is 80 well understood by the whole peo-
pie and the spirit of fair play so univer-
sal that the story of Reeds victory of
Tuesday must do harm to the man and
his party. He is making ammunition
for the use Of the Democrats in coming
elections. The constitution gives to
onc-fifth of the House the right to call
for the yeas and nays, but Speaker
Reed evidently considers himself greater
than the constitution, for under his
ruling the speaker may decide
that one-fifth have not called for
the yeas and nays, and he may refuse to
have the vote counted. An unscrupu-
lous speaker might in this way deny
their constitutional rights to large mi
nority. But argument is hardly needed
to show the danger and folly of this de
fiance Of precedent and abandonment o.
practice tested by long experience. Reet
has fought and won his Bunker Hill
and patriots may rejoice.

lie clarion is n French Canadian paper
regarded as tho organ of Premier MERCER,
ard for this reason profound sensation
has been caused by an article just pub
lished in 1t over the signature of J. Per-
rault, an eX-member Of the Canadian Par
lament, favoring the annexation idea He
says that in the American Union Cana
dians will be respected and would send
members TO Congress and attain the
highest positions. "lf Canada were To 20
into imperial federation the French would
be crushed, while on the other hand all
the young men of the brilliant generation
of 1890 will rise against colonial servitude
under which we have too long lived" lie
declares that Premier MERCER Is at the head
of the annexation movement and lays
great stress upon his devotion TO the Cath
olic cause and says that when he has ac-
complished his task he will be worthy to
rank with Washington and other saviours
of peoples and like Theirs will bc worthy
of statue. All of this Is decidedly
Frenchy and raises the question AS TO
whether the United States wants Quebec
very badly just at present. Mr. Perrault
thinks the province will become a state in
1892, but perhaps he don't know. Uncle
Sam cannot be adopted oil hand by any
stray child Of foreign pnrcntage.

Weather Wisdom.

The signal service announces that
winter is coming in earnest, and that
the Atlantic coast is to have a specimen
Of the very cold weather that has pre-.
vailed In the Northwest. This predic-
ton Is based upon the theory that the
weather bureau has advanced to explain
the warm weather. The storms, they saw,
have refused TO follow their usual winter
course across the sea, but have gone up
tniough Sahada, and then out into the
Atiantie' Where the ships have found
soaa weather This caused the warm
-! rom the south To come up over all
seis region and give US Carolina weather.
SOW, al last, a storm has taken the
- course with great vigor, aud
Wniie there are many fears for ships al
- there Is some glee over u prospect Of

more healthy cold air from the North.
General Grccly has said that when
storms go 10 sea south of latitude forty,
or Philadelphia, there is sure to be cold
weather. a few storms have done so and
IL cold weather don't come the Arctic
weather clerk must confess that his
theory is knocked to pieces and his
guessing business In wretchcd state OF
confusion.
The prophet of The New York Herald,
who has achieved an excellent reputa-
tion as learned explainer of mysterious
weather, does not appear to feel very
sure of cold snap, but contents
himself with comments on the furi-
ous Atlantic gales. He says that
If the change in the storm track
continues IL will strike disastrously on
the coasts of England and France. The
wisdom of that "if'' is to bc commended.
The doings Of the clouds and winds for n
year past make any positive guessing
extremely hazardous, and IL is only safe
to say that when the mercury Is low we
will have cold weather.

The Campaign In Indiana.

A Democratic movement which Is cS-
pected to have important influence upon
the next election In Indiana Is the Tariff
Reform League, which held It's first con-
ycntion In indianapolis on Tuesday. II was
decided TO establish an editorial bureau for
educational work. Ten men In each town
ship are to be induced TO talk tariff reform
TO their neighbou and TO organize branch
leagues, and 500 will be collected from
each county for pushing the work.
1t was claimed that the organization has
been extended TO seventy counties, and that
Indiana is the best organized state In the
Union. AS the first step In the campaign,
it was decided to hold tariff reform state
convention in indianapolis on March 4. All
those conspicuous in the movement are
Democratic politicians.

II is reported from Manitoba that band
of eight hundred Indians is being exter-
minated by the grip. This may not be
an unfounded sensation, as the
Indians would probably neglect TO
take the most ordinary precautions against
the more serious maladies that threaten
grip PATIENTS and being without drugs the
epidemic would do its worst among them.

citation of the value of medical science and
the advantage of civilized life in dealing
with sickness.
