An illiterate man is not necessa-

the duties of citizenship. He may
be 2 producer and form the basis
of the wealth of the state. This
statement is true of the white and
the black.
But the opponents of the Negro
suffrage say nothing of an illiterate
foreigner, who is not versed in the
customs of our country. If he
becomes naturaEized, all is well
with HIM so far as his right TO vote
is concerned.

DEATHS SAD FROLIC.


Two Men Ground Up Beneath the Wheels
of Locomotive.
The folly OF fooling on a railroad-track
was exempl6ed by frolic which caused
the death of two men. The man who is
afraid of the cars is not to be laughed at
w. II. KlIngensmith and w. II. Maphis
were brakemen on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway and were warm frieLds. Klngen-
smith was 80 years old, single and lived at
Brinton. Maphis was eight years younger
had wife and several children, and lived
at Braddock. About / o'clock yesterday
afternoon Klingensmith was standing Oh
the step of the Pott Perry shifting-engine
as it was slowly passing Rankin Station.
Maphis was standing on the track and made
a laughing remark to Klingcnsmith and the
two men began bantering each other in a
froiiesome way. The men made feiuts Of
assauting each other, until finally Maphis
assumed a burlesque tragedy air, and run
ming after the engine, which had passed
him, jumped on the step and seized klingen-
smith by the ear.
The two men laughed and struggled on the
step Tor a moment or two, until suddenly
Klingersmith lost his footing and fell off
the engine. The climax was SO sudden and
horrible that the by-s.anders could hardly
tell what happened; but they saw Maphis
struggling to pull Klingensmith from under
the wheels OF the iron monster, and he, too,
then went down. When the engine was
stopped klingeDsmith was dead his body
having been ground up under the wheels.
Maphis was still alive, out both of his legs
had beer cut off at the thighs. He was
brought to this city and taken to the Mercy
Hospital where he died last evening The
frolic was over, ard King Death had
claimed two subjects. Dispatch.
