KILLED BY A RUNAWAY.
Patrick COnnortOn and His Daughter
Thrown Over a Precipice.


The residents of Laceyville, Bradford
County, who saw a roaring and plung-
ing horse attached to carriage in which
sat Patrick Connerton and his daughter,
Mary, eighteen years old, on the edge
of precipice last evening, will never for
get the sight The horror of the situation
was heightened by the fact that they were
at such distance that they could only look
on and await the tragedy that was newt
able Before a move could be made to assist
them the horse took the fatal leap and both
occupants of the vehicle went with it to the
bottom of the abyss, seventy feet.
The news spread rapidly through the vii
lage. and soon its 800 inhabitants were
gathered near the spot.
Connortons wife and two small children
were among the throng, and their wild cries
and appeals to the excited crowd were pitlful
In the extreme.
A rope was at length lowered into the
abyss, and one of the men descended. For
several minutes not a sound was heard, and
the suspense was agoniZing to those who
stood around, and by strong efforts only was
Mrs. Connorton prevented from attempting
the perilous task of descending herself.
A Jerking of the rope indicated that some
one was coming up. 1t was the man who
had descended it, and the sad intelligence
which he bore was plainly apparent before
he SPOKE Both Connorton and his daughter
were dead.
It was evident death had overtaken them
before they reached the bottom of the ravine.
Not bone in the horses body was left un-
broken. while the carriage was splintered.

the Central New England and Western Rail-
road at Vandewater's crossing, near Salt
Point, N. Y. NJ. Wilson Vandewater
and wife and John Latin came to the cross
ing in two-seated one-horse wagon. They
were on their way to Salt Point. The BoS-

approaching at the rate oe forty miles an
hour, and they attempted to cross the track
ahead of it.
The engine struck the wagon in the CEN
tire, completely demolishing it. Mrs Vande-
water was hurled with terrible force
through a wire fence near by.
Her face was smashed in and her
neck and skull broken. Mr.. Vandewater
was hurled toward a creek; both legs were
broken, some ribs broken and his skull was
fractured. Mr.. Latin was hurled into the
creek, but he was not SO badly mangled as
the others. All were instantly killed

A s.ISamd Of Mercy" Girl.

A coal cart was delivering al order
in Clinton Place the other day, and the
horse made two or three great efforts to
back the heavily loaded cart to the spot
desired, and then became obstinate.
The driver began to beat the animal,
and this quickly collected crowd. He
was big fellow, with fierce look in
his eyes, and the onlookers were chary
about interfering, knowing what would
follow. II pity the horse, but don't

neck, "but about the time get him

and nothing was being done about it,
when little girl about eight years old
approached and said,-

NOW THEY GREET YOU.

Lavater has told MS how to read char.
acter in the leatrres and Srurzheim has
given us the language of our bumps, but
if there is not as much character in the
way people shake hands, then both of
these philosophers arc dead failures.
A close observer, and one who writes
whereof he knows. has taken the pans
to record the characteristics of some of
the best known people IN this respect,
and thus presents his experience:
President Harrison gives one an in
terrogatory sort Of a grip that seems to
imply the idea "Can I trust you?"
When james G. Blaine takes your
hand, it always lmpresses you with the
notion that he IS glad to see you,
whether he is or not.
William L. Evarts gives you only his
fingers, and seems to begrndge the time
spent in the operation. Diplolaatically
he will sometimes spare his whole hand.
Ex.Presdent Cleveland has chubby
hand,which he puts into yours IN a hur.
ried manner that seems to say, I'm
busy man-pass on"
Rev. T. Dc Witt Talmage has hand
broad and hearty, and when the Brook
lyn dominic wishes to emphasize point
it comes down like spile driver.
Cyrus W. Field has long, wiry hand,
betokenlng caution and astuteness, and
he seems almost unwilling to give you
even part Of its palm.
Edwin Booth has q hand which a
woman might envy. Its grasp Is gentle,
and the essence of politeness itself.
Oscar Wilde has a ghostly, clammy
hand, such as might haye belonged to
Uriah Heep. The touch makes one feel
like rubbing his own hand alterward to
restore lost warmth
Abram Hewitt now and then shakes
hands as if he were delivering au opn-
ion that grated on his own hinges.
When Inspector Byrnes joins palms
with some strangers he looks and acts
as if they were catalogued in a collec-
ton of rarities, if not the rogue's gal
lery. TO his friends his clasp is cordial
and emphatic.
The late Tnurlow Weed had sinewy
hand though soft, and when YOU took
it you felt what good aud trusty COM
panlon it was to his honest brow and
gray hair.
Horace Greedy was not great hand
shaker, but when he did indulge III the
salutatior, his hand could be either a
sledge hammer or II scalpel.
Thomas A. Edison, the wizard lnven-
tor has a jerky stvle which says as plain
ly as words, "Jnst so much OF my time
wasted"
Sunset Cox. What should he have
but genial shake that carried in it thc
smile of his nature?

A DREAM DUEL.

In early childhood the first impress
sion crept over me. The remembrance
is distinct. The sounds were fai Mt at
first mere subdued echoes Of fancy. In
my lonely hours Of reyerie, when |
drlfted into the Elysium had created
for myself, and which tempted me in
my idle moments-I was ever a dream
er-I heard the click Of steel, mingled
with a rasp, as of one blade gliding
along another. A strange excitation
seized me; my heart bounded within
me- every fibre sprang into action and
| trembled-not in fear. but with
eagerness and anxlety-my whole being
becoming surcharged with intensity of
feeling, which at its climax was succeed
ed by a sense of exultation. What did
it mean
AS | grew Older and approached
mans estate the peculiar sounds recur-
red at brieter intervals, and the spell
increased in power, while maturer rca-
son sought as indetatigably for their
cause and source, but without ayall.-
Once | WAS so startled that | almost
tainted. 1t was when, for the first time,
took foil i'll my hand. All, how my
heart leaped, as If with JOY, as | grasped
the firm hilt, and what a thrill shook
me as the fingers Of my left hand passed
caressingly along the slnuous steel. 1t
seemed us if | were welcoming an old
friend after a long absence; and yet, |
could not tell why.
had always had an instructive lik-
ing for sword play, but l knew nothing
of its science.
Then, too, l shall never forget that
first bout. Pastime was never more
congenial; skill never came luore read
lily and naturally to beginner. What
was it at work on me? l spraug for
ward at mocking challenge, and when
steel touched steel strong electric
current passed through me. My oppo.
nent, be it known, was no novice, but
he found that the desplscd beginner
was not to be buttoned freely and at
will. lie sought to trihe with me, and
tempted my blade to thrust, expecting
to place me ut his mercy. You should
have seen his face Instead of making
awkward passes l lunged en- carte,
en- tierce-once twice thrice and
for every time that l saluted he was hit
twice. My guard was perfect, and he
bit his lip IN vexatlon. lily companions
looked on in amazement-I was no less
astounded by my own prowess-and my
vanquished opponent at the close Of the
bout laughlngly accused me Of having
studied in secret that | might humillate
him. My positive half angry denial
non-plussed but did not convince him.
That night I sat for hours in brown
study, striving TO fathom the mystery ];
but an impenetrable mist surrounded
me, and all that came therelroIn was
the ominous clicking Of steel.
After that I was no stranger to the
foils. Skill and finesse developed
themselves. But there was always that
impetuousncss, that Gerceness, that
heart and soul enthusiasm on rny part,
until the others, fearing them, would
not fence with me and 1t came to pass
that in my moody moments | fought
with an imaginary antagonist, so eager
was | to feel the hilt in my nervous
hand.
