Saying something and Nothing.

"She talked of people" was the quiet
answer "She told me news about per-

me, and called them by their Christian
names"
The fact was significant; il indicated

Hindsight in Excess.

1.-THE most remarkable case Of hind
sight ever came across" said the old
railroad superintendent, occurred on
my division several years ago. A young
man named Brown was operator at a
way station about ten miles this side of
Alliance. He was a good boy all over
and had my eye on him for promotion.
But one winters night, after ordering a
freight train to come west, he let No. 10
passenger express go east. How he made
the blunder he never could explain
"On single track road nothing under
heaven could prevent a wreck, and
Brown realized that before the rear
lights of the passenger train were out of
sight. Most men would have lost their
heads at the thought, but Brown didn't
He remained at his instrument and tele-
graphed me as follows, Send wrecking

81 went out with the wrecking train
at once, picked up Brown on the way
and found bad smashup, sure enough
though the engineers of both trains had
sighted each other in time to avert a
frightful catastrophe. OF course had
to discharge Brown, but if his foresight
had been equal to his hindsight what a
splendid railroader he would have made. =

ment of the question relative to
the appointment of priests; the
abrogation OF the Sperrgesetz, by which
priests in certain cases are deprived OF
the stipends; supervision of the
schools by priests; the free admission OF
Catholic religious orders into Prussia,
and the prohibition of the use of Cath
olic churches by Old Catholics. DR.. Won
GOSsler, minister Of ecclesiastical affairs,
in reply to DR.. Windthorst, said that the
government could not comply with the
denominations, he declared, could not
claim to be represented in the
ministry. Catholic matters were at
tended to by Catholic officials. In af
fairs affecting the schools and univer-
sites the opinion of the Catholic lead

Mrs. Mary Adele Crane has been taking
treatment for consumption with DR.. J.
A. Kennedy, specialist, of this city, who
used electricity by what is called the
electro-ozone system, which consists in
forcing electrified and medicated air
into the lungs. Mrs. Crane was said
to be quite far gone with consump-
ton, but when she entered the doctors
operating room tonight was apparently
well as usual. She placed the tube of
the instrument between her lips and
turned button admitting the air to the
lungs, while DR.. Kennedy stepped into
the next door. When he returned
he asked her how much air she
had taken, and she replied five
pounds. Thinking she was mistaken,
he stepped towards the indicator to see.
but before he could reach it she fell
heavily forward, quite dead. DR.. Ken
nedv says five pounds of air could not
have killed her, as it was not an over
dose. Physicians are greatly puzzled as
to the cause of death. A post mortem
will be held tomorrow before a coro-
ner'S inquest.

Kentucky Outlaws Repulse an
Attack by Troops.

HARLAN COURT HOUSE, KY, April Is.
"A deadly fight occurred Wednesday
morning seventeen miles east of here.
up in the Black mountains, between a
detail of the state troops, consisting OF
sixteen privates. Capt. Gather. Lieut..
Milton and Sergeant Pullian, and about
thirty outlaws who were fortified in an
old barn. Five Of the soldiers were
wounded.
FRANKFORT, KY, April 1s.-Ad-
jutant General Hill received telegram
confirming the report of fight in Har-
Ian. The telegram is from W.. u.
Thompson, the officer in charge OF the
arsenal at Frankfort. who was started
by Gen.Hill to Harlan Court House sew
eral days ago. Thompson telegraphs
from Pineville that fight occurred in
the Black mountains April 16, in which
five soldiers were wounded. The tete-

vile, and was waiting for Instructions.
Gen. Hill says Capt. Gather, who is in
command, wrote him last week that q
posse was being organized to arrest
Wills Howard and one of his gang out
in the Black mOuntainS,an that he had
promised twelve soldiers as part OF the
posse. 1t is possible that the fight was
between this posse and Howard's gang.
or 1t may have been an attempt on the
part of the friends of Will Jennings to
rescue him. Jennings has been cleared
OF one charge for which he was taken
to Harlan to be tried, but,
instead of being released, he
was held for another. and
possibly for delivery to the Missouri
authorities, who wanted him at the time
of his arrest by the Kentucky officers
last fall. Jennings was toa-have been
taken to Pineville under guard of the
troops Oh his way to Missouri, and Gen.
Hill thinks it not unlikely that the fight
may have resulted from an attempt OF
Jennings friends to release him. The
troops at Harlan are fifteen miles FROM
Lexington. twenty from HarrodSburg
and three from Frankfort. The Black
mountains, where the fight occurred, is
seventeen miles from Harlan.

Frequent Collisions With the Po-
lice and Troops.
VIENNA, April 1s.-The strikers at
Prague have become intensely violent,
and have had frequent collisions with
the police. Many of the rioters have
been arrested. The strike has ex-
tended to all industrial centers
in Eastern Silesia. Sixty of the rioters
arrested at WlttkowitZ last night made
an attack upon two of the sentries
guarding them during the night and
twenty of them escaped. The sentries
were seriously wounded, but were able
to prevent a wholesale escape. The
strikers are without leaders, and nego-
tiations with them are impossible.
Coal is becoming very scarce,
and there are fears OF a famine.
The strikers in Ostrau are attacking the
factories in the vicinity and damaging
the buildings, and are compelling those
at work to desist under threats of
violence. In POlnische Ostrau a coils
ion occurred to-day between the strfk-
ers and the troops. The soldiers made
a charge on the mob with fixed
bayonets and eight of the strikers
were wounded. The Ostrau strike was
intended to start OH May 1. 1t was pre-
cipitated by the parish priest denounc-
ing May day demonstrations. His de-
hunciations caused great deal of
ill-feeling. All of the windows
i'm the priests house were smashed
A conflagration at Neu-Sandec, Aus

The fire originated in the Jewish quarter
of the town, and is believed to have
been of incendiary origin.
