ARNOLD RECAPTUKED.
Tho Escaped Life Convict Caught In
Box Car

PORTLAND, Oct. 25.-About three
weeks ago Sheriff Bowles of Union
county, was taking a lifer named Arnold
to the penitentiary, when the man es-
capped by jumping from the water closet
window of the car, somewhere in the
Blue mountains. Every effort has since
been made to capture the convict, but
without avail. Descriptions were sent
everywhere. Tonight the sheriff re-
ceived dispatch from Troutdale as
follows:
Meet train 27 ut East Portland at 9
o'clock. Have a murderer in box car"
Jaiier James Immediately went over to
the depot, arriving just as the train came
in. The box car door was opened and
the man told the coast was clear. He
Jumped into the arms of Mr.. James. At
the fail o-night. Arnold, for the man is
evidently he, denies being the party
wanted, and says his name is Conley,
and that he has "hoboed" it from
omaha. He answers completely the de-
scription OF the escaped convict.
The large reward offered tor his arrest
will be divided between train men and
Jailer James.

WIRES DOWN.
Great Damage Done by the storm on
tho Eastern Coast,

New YoRK, Oct 25.-New York was
pelted last night and to-day by one Of
the most pitilcss storms which 1t has
endured in many day. A fierce
uortheasterly gale drove the heavy rain
in almost horizontal sheets, rendering
umbrellas of little use, and the wind
throughout the night ratified signs and
shutters till unbroken sleep became well
nigh impossible.
This morning stories OF damage along
the coast began to come in, but
II is feared the worst will
not be known until tomorrow.
Along the New Jersey coast tho wires
are reported down and several vessels
ashore, while others haye been driven
from their course. Very high tides re.
suited from the storm. Several small
boats were capsized OIL Long Branch
but the occupants were rescued. The
marine wires that are strung between
this city and Sandy Hook parted about
midnight, and to-day members of the
maritime exchange had 10 depend upon
u single wire from Quarantine to Staten
island,
The storm did considerable damage In
Brooklyn. A four-story brick building
III course of erection on Halscy street
was blown down. John Lindsay passed
by and was buried in the ruins. His in
Juries are thought to be fatal.

CLOSE CALLF0R DAVID
The Governors Train Caught
Between Two Others.
IT CHANGED HIS PROGRAMME
The Monotony of His Virginia
Tour Is Broken by
Collision.

CAMERON, W. Va, Oct. 25.-Governor
Hill and party, accompanied by L. s.
Riley, chairman OF the democratic state
committee, Governor Fleming and 9th
ers. lett Wheeling this morning over the
Baltimore Il Ohio. The train was to
have stopped at all stations between
Wheeling and Harper's Ferry, 10 allow
the governor to make addresses. The
programme, however, was intcriered
with by collision at Moundsyille. His
tram was about starting when Engineer
Wells had n warming note from the en-
gineer OF the Chicago express which told
him that train was approaching on the
same track, about iiIty feet ahead oi
where the governors train was standing.
A wide and low highway bridge spans
the railroad tracks mere, making 1t i'm
possible to see approaching trains on the
other side of the bridge.
About twenty-five iect behind the gov
ernor's train the accommodation train
running between Wheeling aud Cumber'
land came to stand, wnen Engineer
Wells noticed the approach of the Chi
cagO express. lie immediately reversed
his engine, backing the train, hut the
Chicago express was moving at 50 hig h
speed that 1t soon caught UP to the
governors train and crashed into 1t.
The cow-catchers of both trains were
demolished, as were the platforms oi
three coaches. Governor Hill's train
was thrown back on the accommoda.
tion train. and the cow-catcher oi
that locomotive smashed. behind the
accommodation train was "A heavily
loaded freight train, and both trains to
gether were thrown back on that with
slight force with no damage to the lat
ter, except the cow-catcher was torn
away. Had the governors train con-
sisted of ordinary coaches, IL would
have been crushed like AN egg shell be-
tween the two heavy trains. As 1t was,
both these cars escaped without even u
scratch. The accident was due TO the
failure OF the air brakes to work on the
Chicago express.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. THURSDAY. FEB Is. 1890
THE PRINCE AND THE REPUBLIC.

The French Government has shown its
ability to deal with Bourbon pretenders, as
well as Boulsngist agitators, by convicting
the young Duke of Orleans, and sentencing
him for his infraction of law to prison for
two years. 1t is q convincing way of notify
ing the monarehists of Europe that the laws
of France will not move out of their usual
course, either from awe of the descendant of
Henry " or for fear that that antique cause
may overset the French Republic.
But, having firmly asserted the necessity
of obeying the Law, the French Government
should quietly let the youthful aspirant for
military heroism go out of France after a
few weeks in prison. In the first place the
Law which he has violated is rather harsh
one and should be applied only with leni-
ency. The Orleans princes either could
not or would not disturb the Republic dur
ing the years that they resided in France
and the young Bourbon can be treated
mildly when it is shown that he must obey
the laws Beyond that it is not good policy
to treat him too severely. When your oppo-
nent has been placed in a position of de-
cided defeat without making the public
canonize him, it is not best to make
martyr of him.

TIE RULE OF pART1sANsH1p.

With political deadlocks still unbroken
in two State Legislatures, one broken
only by almost violent proceedings in an
other, q fourth just settled which has held
another State government in suspense over
a year, and the National House of Repre-
sentatiYes practically suspending all busi-
ness, in order that party supremacy may be
placed beyond danger, it is becoming clear
that partisanship is doing its best to wreck
popular government.
This appears very plainly when we reflect
for moment that everyone of these dead
locks and bitter party disputes could have
been avoided with reasonable amount of
fairness from each party. If the leaders of
both parties had been disposed to place the
public welfare above party interest, there is
not contested election that could not have
been settled upon the evidence, or close
Legislature which could not have well and
promptly discharged the public business,
But the politicians put the party organiza-
ton first, and the result is all these dead
locks, squabbles and partisan decisions that
party may rule, while reasonable care for
the honest observance of the public welfare
is cast to the winds.
This sort of party insanity is incompatible
with true republicanism. There is need for
our politicians to learn that the welfare of
the country is more important than any
party organization can be.

A CHANCE For THE YOUNGSTERS.

The Exposition of 1890 in this city proba-
bly, Will have a notable feature which last
years laeked-namelY, an exhibit of the
work of the public school children OF Pitts
burg and Allegheny. Mr.. Johnston, of the
Exposition, has made proposition to the
Central Board of Education favoring such
an exhibit and a committee of the Board
has been appointed to confer with Mr.
Johnston concerning it. A similar PROPOSE
ton will be made to the Allegheny Board
at the next meeting, and we presume that a
very interesting addition to the attractions
o. the Exposition will be the result.
Last year it will be remembered that spec
linens of the work of our public schools
were sent to the Paris Exposition and OBJ
tanned very complimentary recognition
there. Naturally a similar but enlarged
display will be of still greater interest in
our own Exposition. Aside from the in
trinsic merits of the exhibits, they will
appeal personally to the parents and friends
of the scholars as well as to the scholars
themselves. There need be no appre-
bension about the character of the ex-
Rmples Of scholastic skill, for the public
schools of both cities are properly held to be
among the best in the land. It is an excel
lent idea, moreover. to show the hundreds
OF thousands who will visit the Exposition
what the heads and hands of our youngsters
can do. The DISPATCH is heartily in
favor of the scheme, as a good thing for the
Exposition and the public schools,
