Travelling $50 Miles an Hour.

One of our correspondents not long ago
asserted that speed Of 100 miles an hour
by steam locomotives was entirely praeti-
cable, and thought it would be attained
In recent lecture before a scientific club
Professor Elihu Thompson declared that
much higher speeds than can now be OBJ
tanned with steam locomotives are to be
expected by means of electricity, and he
considered from 100 to even 15O miles per
hour possible. While in the steam loco
motives there are reciprocating parts that
must be put n motion, stopped and re-
versed continually, in the electric locomo-
tive we have simply rotary motion, which
makes it possible to run with economy at
much higher rates of speed
He believed that If we could come back
after another hundred years we would find
$50 miles an hour to be the speed Of travel
ing, adding, 1T simply depends upon find
ing the necessary methods of applying suf-

BURNED AT MIDNIGHT,

The b. & O. Icehouse at Glenwood De-
sfroyed by Fire-No Means Mt Hand OF
Putting Ont the FIames-PossibIe Suii
Against the City for Damages.
The icehouse of the B. & o. Railroad at
Glenwood took fire last night about mid
night and was totally destroyed. with a
loss of about 1000. The building was one
of the ordinary class of houses of that
description, but it was out of the range OF
the fire engine of that district.
The water supply, it is said, was deficient,
and the fire had to be allowed to take its
own way. The Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany will, it is said, institute suit against
the city for the loss sustained on account of
the inadequate fire protection afforded. The
scarcity of ice in the present season, and
the small chances of getting any stock of
that frigid commodity, will probably in
crease the figures of the damages caused.
Attention was called some months ago to
the small supply of water in the Twenty
third ward, and Superintendent Brown, of
the Water Bureau, explained that there
were so many manufacturing establishments
in that locality, which used water to large
extent, that the mills would absorb the sup
ply in a case of necessity, such as a fire, and
would not shut down work to give the fire.
men q chance.
He had called attention to this fact sew
eral times, but the water supply remained
the same, and perhaps other buildings will
have to burn down, as he predicted, if the
mains are not enlarged in that vicinity.

AN EVENTFUL LIFE ENDED.
A Pioneer and Indian Fighter Dies Mt the
Age of 95 Years.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
WEST CHESTER, March 21.-Dr. James
Atkin died to-day at the residence of his
daughter, Mrs. J. Davis Ashbridge, in West
Goshen, N. Y, in the 96th year of his age.
He was born in New Castle county, Del,
and after studying medicine in New York
City, began practice in Chester county,
Pa, in 1880. He had quite an eventful
life having once been attacked in the West
by Indians during the Black Hawk war,
and during his younger days was employed
as surveyor by the United States Govern
ment, and completed the running
of the lines for the Government in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and az far south
as Texas. His surveys were of the Western
Reserve in Ohio and the Territorial lands
of the West, where now prosperous cities
stand, and later he established the meridian
at Indianapolis.
After completing his surveying labors
in the last mentioned city he purchased a
corner near where the State Capitol now
stands, for which he gave a half worn pair
of shoes, and on which he soon afterward
realized quite handsomely. On his trip
home to Chester county, shortly
after, he was in an explosion on a
steamboat, in which George Kinnard, the
first Congressman from the district including
indianapolis, was killed. When President
jackson was inaugurared the first time, he
rode on horseback from this section to
Washington to witness the ceremonies, and
was introduced to the General by the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-There seems
to be no doubt OF the speedy removal of all
the people who have had the management
of the helpless blind in the Pennsylvania
institution that is supported by the State
in its appropriations for charities.
To-day the Legislative Commission be-
gan its open sessions. The commission had
decided to prosecute general investigation
of charitable and penal institutions, and
have summoned as the ftst witnesses the
Board of Managers and officers of the Blind
Asylum. The commission claims to have
information that has not yet been made pub
lie, in relation to the asylum, and if
it is found necessary to take up special
lines of inquiry or individual cases the in
mates needed will be summoned. The chief
witness to-day was Harry S. Brown. He
has investigated these abuses in all their
phases, and his testimony was listened to
with intense interest.
Senator McAleer asked the witness if he
could furnish the names OF any boys who
had been cruelty treated. He gave off hand
the names of seven.
"What were the causes which led to the
present state of afairs?" asked Mr.. Dear
den.
Primarily desire to save as much
money as possible out, of the State appro-
priation. The food was inferior and the
pupils sat at fourth class table, because
there are four grades of food furnished"
Mr.. Brown detailed how the spirit of
economy had caused the institution
steadily to deteriorate from what it
was under Dr.. Chaplin, world famous for its
humane treatment of the blind and the ex-
cellence Of its instruction to its present con-
dition. The school was now run on par
simonous plan. The managers did not give
sufficient attention to the institution.

Patriotism to the Children.
Soho school, of the Fourteenth ward, was
presented with handsome flag last night
by John Grey Council No. 249, Jr. o. U.
A. M. A large number of persons were
present, and the exercises were very pleas
ing. The building was decorated with
flags. The boards of the different rooms
were covered with specimens of the pupils
work, and were inspected with interest.
In the large school hall great number
were gathered. On the stage. were ranged
Is pupils under the care of Miss Louden,
the principal. Mayor-elect Gourley, w. R.
Ford and the Rev. Mr.. Farron were also on
the stage. In the front seats were the men,
bers of John Grey Council No. 249 and
Oakland Council No. 296, Jr. o. U. A. M.
School Director William Holmes acted as
master of ceremonies.
The feature OF the occasion was the pres
entation OF the flag, which was made by
Mayor-elect Gourley in behalf of John
Grey Council. Mr.. Gourley referred to the
grand work performed by mechanics, the
bone and sinew Of the nation. but said that
to the school teacher you make lower bow
She is doing work in which she is aiding
God in the amelioration of the human race
and benefting civilization. The 49,
1000 school children in the country
at present will in the early part of the

tiny.
Mr.. Gourley then reviewe1 the history of
our flag. He said that on July it would
contain 40 stars with Is stripes to represent
forever the 13 colonies.
He then presented the flag in behalf of
the Jr. o. U. A. M, and it was received BY
w. r. Ford in behalf of the school. He
said it was a pleasing duty to act for the
grandest institution of the world, the public
school of America. He eulogized the Jr o.
U. A. M, saying it was an organization
that desires that the schools shall not stand
still, hut be carefully guarded and 60 on

The flag is the second one presented to the
school by the Jr. o. q. A. NJ, who have
undertaken to keep it supplied the first one

The remainder of the exercises were national
songs rendered in excellent style by the pu-
pills on the stage, and national airs played
by the Allegheny City Band.

and three wears hence would drag the Demo-
cratic party at his carwheels. The Demo-
Gratis were not to be credited with any OF the
pension legislation of the country. but they
were TO be credited with the
fact that to-day there we're 10000 Union
soldiers in the poor house, who would have
been comfortable under the bill which
President Cleveland vetoed. Every night
that these soldiers went to bed they went in
the knowledge that they lay there smitten
by the Democratic party, because that party
never favored pension legislation except
when it was out of power Every wrong
done to the Union soldier had been done bv
the Democratic party; every right done had
been done bv the Republican party.
Mr.Tarsney, of Missouri. inquired whether
the Republicans intended to pass the de-
pendent pension bill, vetoed by Mr.. Cleve-
land. Mr.. Grosvenor replied that they
would not. They would pass Republican
bill, a bill which would not contain the
pauper features. The Republican bill
would have nothing in it to degrade the
manhood.
A DEFENSE OF GROVER.
Mr.. Spinola suggested that Democratic
Congress had passed the arrears and the
bill increasing the pensions of widows
from S8 to So month. The bill which
President Cleveland had vetoed had been
an insult to the veterans of the country. He
stated that the great bulk OF the Union
army was made up from the Democratic
legions OF the North. This caused sar-
castle laugh on the Republican side.
Mr.. Struble, of Iowa. vigorously antago-
nized suggestion made by Mr.. Bynum
that an income tax should be levied for the
purpose of paying pensions. Mr.. Allen, of
Mississippi, thought that the men who were
specializing, while the soldiers were in the
field, were bearing part of the burden of
taxation. Gentlemen might say that an
income tax was odious to the farming
classes. They thought that it was time that
the wealth of the country should bear some
of the burdens of taxation. Whisky and
tobacco and incomes should bear as much as
the toll and sweat of the farmers. The
trouble with the Republican party was that
it represented incomes and not honest toll.
Alter further debate the bill was passed.
