Ihis SHOWS much higher percentage
OF casuaItles than prevails upon the En-
Sish railways, where it appears that the
Iauio was one passenger in 6,942 1886
killed, and one in 527 III injured. But
IN spite OF the rapid extension of our rail-
way system, and the crudeness in com
structlon and carelessuess in oueration n,
hAuy OF the pewer lines, the ratio of
casualties is steadily decreasing. On the
older and better roads, such as the Penn
sylVahin, accidents are rare, thanks to
the lloeFality of the management in nro-
Viulng all safeguards, no matter what
tbelr cost, and in steadily improving ths
rohd bed and rolling stock. The ratio of
casualties on that and some other of our
great railway systems, it can safely
be said. Is little if any in excess of those
on British roads, while the accommoda-

QUEEN VICTORIA.
What She Drinks and Why the Court Ply
stcians Recommended 1t.

The London World has been making an in
vestigation of what the Queen drinks and has
ascertained definitely that, upon the advice of
Sir William Jenner, she drinks whisky diluted
in water. This is for the purpose of retaining
her vigor, renewing her strength and prolong-
ing her life. The whisky which she drinks is
obtained from the distillery on her own Bal
moral estate, and of course is perfectly pure
Thus the World offers a valuable suggestion in
this fact: England's sovereign drinks whisky
under the recommendation of the Court Physi-
clan and on account of its medicinal properties
and she drinks it absolutely pure, having it dis
titled upon her own estate. These facts prove
two things: first, that all modern medical
science demonstrates the Superior value of
whisky for sustaining the life; and second, that
it must be absolutely pure. The leading Ameri-
can physicians and chemists have Endorsed
these views constantly, and emphasized the
necessity of having whisky that is absolutely
pure. The best medical and chemical talent of
America has shown conelusively that no
whisky known in the market is so pure as
Jufys Malt. 1t is wholly free from fusil oil, it
is unlike all other so-called Whistles, and it is
doing great things for the health of the COM
munity. So true is this, that while many tenn
perance people denounce whiskies and liquors
in general, they acknowledge the superior
merit of Duffy's Malt, and use it incidentally
continually Great care should be exercised
however, to secure no other, no matter how
hard dealer may seek to sell you something
else

HILL A REFORAIER.
The Governor of New York Criticises the
Election LAWS.

ALBANY On. j. January 7th.-Gcyernor Hill
in his annual message 10 the Legislature. is de-
sirous of some changes in the laws relating to
elections. He reviews the present election laws
and says.
yet in spite of these excellent provisions our
laws do not reach the two great evils which at
tend cur Observation-Disclosures aud corruption.
These flourish unchecked bringing shame upon
our State, rendering our elections m0cEery
and threatening even the integrity and exist
euce of cur political institutions. 1t is indeed q
sad alles alton, which is made and not denied
that in some parts OF our State at the recent
Presidential election. corruption was so unTe-
strained that scenes at the polls Iesembled an
auction more than an election, and that in
other places the intimidation so prevalent was
undisguised, particularly at some of our manu-
featuring centers, where employees were virtu-
ally driven to the polls ard actually instructed
by employers as to what tickets they should
vote
The Governor reviews the Australian sys EN-
and finds some excellent things in it, but, as a
whole, condemns it. He recommends the pas
sage of law which viii provide for secret com
partments for voters, and claims that this pro-
vision alone would do much to prevent clrrup-
ton ana would secure the chiet benefits of true
electoral reform. The Governor objects to an
exclusively official ballot, and says that the pro-
vision which requires voter to vote by placing
q mark opposite the name of his candidate is
unconstitutional, because it makes an educa-
tiOnGi qualification that she voter shall be able
TO read, otherwise he can't be able to know
where 10 place the mark.

AN ILLINOIS SENSATION.
A Young Woman who Loved Her Negro
COachnRn.

JACKSONVILLE Qll.) January 7th.-For long
time the affairs OF Miss Keener and Nathan
Pasten her colored coachman, have been the
gossip of the town. Some time ago Pasten went
away, and while gone Miss Keener sent the
negro a large amount of valuable property.
This morning Pasten returned, and proceeded
to the home of Miss Keener, where he was met
by her brother, Tom Keener, who ordered the
negro away.
As Pasten turned to go he met Miss Keener
and young man named Bancroft. Without
warning the negro drew a pistol and began
shooting. first at Bancroft, who was twice
wounded, and then at Miss Keener, who
promptly returned the fire, both being wounded.
Miss Keener was SHOT through the lungs and
hips and is in very critical condition. Pasten
is shot i'll the arm and head.
AT this moment the negro was dubbed and
disdrmed by the crowd drawn to the scene.
PaSten is i'll jail, but so terribly injured it is
thought he cannot recover. 1t is said Miss
keeHer eau scarcely live through the night.
The Keener family is one of the most promi-
nent in Jacksonville, the elder Keener having
been engaged in the commission business at
Naples aud Mendosa, Ill., and is interested in q
