fellow laborers, threw himself in front of
the maddened team and tried to stop their
progress he succeeded and saved the lives
Of the men working by him, but lost his
own in the heroic action. AS he caught
the off horse by the bit the other struck
him with his fore foot and felled him to
the ground. He was run over by the
wheels of the wagon and three ribs broken
in over the heart. He was taken to the
hospital, and after suffering intensely for
hours, he died at I o'clock. He leaves a

Darby, Pa.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, February 5.-The
usually quiet village of Darby is in great
furry over what appears to be one of the
most mysterious outrages ever committed
in Delaware county. While Mrs. Lizzie
Buchanan was asleep on Il lounge i'll her
mothers house, about week ago, man
entered, drugged her, cut off her hair and
disappeared again without disturbing any
thing else in the house. Both the front
and rear doors of the house were locked
before the entrance of the man, and when
the young woman was found after the affair
was over they had apparently not been dis
turbed.
Mrs. Buchanan is not yet Is years of age
and quite handsome girl, with dark hair
and a good figure. Her story, as she re-
counted it last night, did not throw any
light on the mystery. Mrs. Savidge, her
mother, had gone to market in the city and
the younger children were all in bed, when
some time after s o'clock Mrs. Buchanan

of the keys OF the front door in the cellar
