companied by cloud Of mingled
steam and dust.
Engine 26l had disappeared, and
all that remained of its fifty tons of
mechanism were the six driving
wheels. the truck and wheels at the
forward end of the disabled tender

some distance, and broken telegraph
and electric lightwires dangled from
their posts tangled mass. .Desola-

the twinkling of an eye, and two
lives had been sacrificed like the
snuffiing of a candle, for there was
no trace of either engineer or fire.

air at an even elevation of one hum
dred feet and was observed to fall
on the Lake Shore Railroad at least
one thousand feet west of where the
explosion occurred. The body of
the other unfortunate man took a
northeasterly course at high eleva-
tion and dropped into the creek five
hundred feet away.
The body of Pearl was found in
the creek. 1t was brought to the
surface and hoisted to the coal dock.
It's condition was shocking. Ap-
pafently every bone was broken,
the head and face were frightfully
mutilated as was also the trunk,
nearly the entire abdomen being
torn away.
O'Connor's body was found be-

side the Lake Shore tracks. The
head was crushed, the face difigured
beyond recognition, and in the left
side was a great gaping hole. The
mans shoes had been wrenched
from his feet and his garments re-
duced to shreds. The legs and
arms were apparently fractured.

VICTIM OF A RABID DOG,
Mr. Hscssrd Chains Himself Hand
And Foot Before Going Mad.

SMITHFIELD, H.. May 10-James
Beoard of this town was bitten two
years ago by rabid dog. A mad
stone was applied, and he was pro.
nounced cured. Some days ago a
hound went mad near Cuba, and
ran amuck through the country,
biting stock and other animals.
Before it's journey was ended it
had bitten James Beoard and two
other persons. The dog passed on
and appeared at Bushnell, in Nc
Dough county, where it caused
rnuch terror. Beoard and the other
two victims went immediately to
Denver and applied the maidstone.
IL adhered tcnaclously in each case,
especially that of Beoard. The men
returned home satisfied that the
danger was passed. Beoard, how
ever decided TO protect his family
against any possible evil results, and
chained himself hand and foot, so
that if he went mad be could iniure
no one. His friends were inclined
to ridicule his precautions, but he
remained firm. Two days ago
Beoard began to show evidences OF
hydrophobia. His friends and fami.
ly became alarmed, and in his last
sane moments Beoard begged that
he might be more securely guarded
SO that no harm might come to his
loved ones.
The mans sufferings became ter
rible. He raved constantly of the
myriad of dogs that were jumping at
him. The sight of water threw the
sufferer into spasms. Then came
intervals of barking and yelping and
swapping at anything in sight
Death relieved Beoard Wednesday
evening.
The other two men are in agony
of fear. The authorities have is
sued an order that all dogs in, the
township must be killed.

McAleer, overcome by the free trade

pense of being swallowed bodily by

The silver Bill.

Candid men, who do not regard
themselves as bound to make fiscal
scheme one of party, are giving due
consideration to the Silver bill which
has been agreed upon by caucus
committee of the Republicans in the
two Houses of Congress, Senator
Teller is the only one that is dis.
satisfied with it, and ne will not be
satisfied with anything less than
"free coinage" Senator Sherman,
while approving of the bill in gener-
al, would prefer that the purchase
of silver bullion should be limited to
four millions month, which is
about the product of their own
mines. If we exceed that amount,
the excess may have to be purchased
elsewhere. Senator Jones, of Me-
vada, while preferriDg free coinage,
is willing to accept the bill as a
compromise measure, and Senator
Henderson, Of Nebraska, agrees with
him.
Some persons profess to fear that
the bill, if enacted, will lead to ex>
cessive imitation Of the currency and
TO dangerous speculation. That
more currency is need is acknow-
lodged generally. Conditions have
changed since the United States has
become a great silver-producing
country, able to supply its own
needs and'to export to the other
parts of the world. Twenty or
thirty years ago such bill as that
proposed would have caused an al
arming initiation. But the country
has grown enormously since then,
and fiscal measures must be adapted
to the change. IT., in the course OF
this adoption, silver should advance
in value, the benefit of it would be
telt by the people OF the United
States. There does not seem to be
any danger that an increase in the
product of our mines would exceed
the increase of other interests. We
should still be the almost exclusive
customers for the silver produced.
There can be no weil-grounded fear
that We shall produce SO much as to
lower the market value of the metal.
The prospects Of the passage of
the bill agreed upon has had a
slight effect in raising the price of
silver and in stimulating very slug
gisn stock market. This was to be
expected, but it is not likely to con-
tinue in progressive fashion.

J. v. RETTENBURY.

New York State, having got its
new secret ballot law, is beginning
to count the cost. It is admitted
that election expenses to the State
and counties will be greatly increas-
ed by the new method. The Troy
Press makes calculation of what
the cost will be in that city. The
polling places will have to be in
creased from nineteen to fifty, and
the inspectors in greater proportion
even. In addition, ballot clerks and
booths must be provided, and the
tickets printed at public expense.
A rough calculation puts the total
cost of the election in Troy at sl7,-
900. The cost under the old method
to the public was about $1,000; but
if the disbursements of the candi-
dates were added to this sum the
total would probably be little if any
less than the new method will re-
quire. But the great gains. and for
which the public is willing to incur
all the additional expense, are the
good order which will ensue and the
check upon corruption at the polls.
In the long run all honest election
is the cheapest.

English as Written by Japanese.

An instance Of the way in which
japanese business men handle the
English language is given in the
following letter, recently received
by merchant in this city. The
letter was sent from Yokohama,
Oct. l9; Itran:
"BeiDg n trade merchant we hope
to introduce myself 10 you upon
business. Before going 10 do so We
are very glad 10 send TO you some
sample Of eur japanese picture,
which is one Of our printing produc-
ton, as the commencement Of our
communication upon business. II
you have a view that these picture
can be appropriate to the taste Of
American people, and can be sold
there in yOpr country, we beg you
to order me.''
The letter then goes on to describe
prices and details Of samples sent,
one Of which the japanese mer-
chant s1ys is n "Com plete sery of
the picture Of Shotgun, our ancient
general, marching with his army,
with three leaves,' This produc-
ton of japanese industry he follows
up with another, which '.makes one
complete sery OF the picture of our
ancient royal amusement with three
leaves.1 The letter ends as follows:

answer to ME hastely, and also send
me your detail by convinience. We
Oblige you much" - Aeig York

the peculiar merit Of being true,
says the New York EreRing San, /.
the following: a woman uptown

she keeps in an aviary built on "a
the rear wall OF the house. She alsC

so kindly disposed toward the feath.
cred pets that she has had for some
time free range Of the aviary,
whether the birds were in their
separate cages or not.
y few days ago, while all the
birds save one were shut in their
cages. the owner heard a wild out
cry in the aviary. Rushing 10 the
door she met her trusted cat coming
out with the biri in her mouth. ON
the instant the next room was
reached, however, the cat released
her hold and the bird flew away
frigh -ened but wholly unframed.
On investigating the cause of the
sudden confusion the woman found
in the aviary n stray cat that had
slipped in through n lowered sash.
The house cat, seeing the danger,
had sna0ched the bird in her mouth
so carefully as not to harm feather
and carried it out Of reach Of the in

One criticism we would make on
the bill is that it does not permit
females to vote at any school elec-
ton, whether for trustees or on tax
or bond question. Women who pay
school taxes should be permitted to
vote on a tax or bond proposition.
Thus instead of being too broad in
giving voting privileges, the bill is
not broad enough to meet the de-
mands of natural Justice.

THE RECENT MANDANUS CASE.

THE st. Paul, Mimi, Globe has
this to say on the recent mandamus
case connected with the city cleo
ton:
"The Gentiles in Salt Lake City are
out Of humor with the federal judge,
Zane, because he would not override
the law in their interest, when only
Mormons were to be put out. The
judge is a republican, but he is an
honest man, and always tries to do his
duty. He was kept on the bench in
Illinois many years by the votes OF
democrats because they had conf
dence in his official integrity and i'm
par.iality. At the late election the
Gentiles voted for councilmen on n
general ticket, disregarding the law
adopted in IsSs, providing for election
by wards. The Mormons carried six
Of the fifteen wards, but their men
were denied certificates OF election by
the canvassing officer. They applied
TO Judge Zane for a mandamus, and
he granted it. This has excited the
wrath OF the managing politicians on
the anti-Mormon side, who seem to
have expected the judge to act the
partisan and degrade himself as 4
jurist for their service. He deserves
credit for administering the law. and
not the behests Of the lawless."
Perhaps the Globes opinion of the
opposition would not be elevated to
any appreciate extent when it
learned that, by a hocus-pocus pro-
cess, they, in the face of Judge
Zane's decision, seated their candi-
dates who were not elected and
barred out those Of the People who
were declared by a competent court
to have been elected, entitled TO Ger
tificates and consequently the
offices.
