The statement Of the Tribune that Sher-

II Sheriff Stineman was appalled, when
he mounted the scaffold with Marsh and

hceman on the beat arrested her. She
would not talk.
A doctor WAS sent for, and the unfor-

nose were badly burned, and the eye

Tern By a Lion.

which a well-known lion tanner will lose
his life, was witnessed at the hippo

had just concluded the days drilling or
training ofsix lions for this performance,
and WAS driving them into their cages
when one of them sullenly refused to re-
enter his cage. Seets managed to cage
the remaining five lions, and then
turned his attention to the rebellious an
lmal, which had taken refuge in a
nelghboring passage.
Seets armed himself with & lance and
tried 10 dislodge the refractory lion, but
IN so doing he tripped and lost hold of
his lance, the weapon rolling several
yards away from him. Before the
tanner could gain possession of the
lance the angry lion sprang upon the
unfortunate man, and bit and rent him
IN most horrible manner. Seet's cries
for help soon brought another trainer to
the scene. The latter caught up the
lance and gallantly attacked the lion.

Trying His New Knife.

SAN DIEGO, March Ga story ola hor-
rlble crime comes from San Quentin
Lower California, which rates among
the horrors of Nero's time. On SuudaT
last Joseph +. Muir, half-breed, made
an attempt on the life of Filepe Sanchez
who was lying asleep on the sidewalk in
front of saloon. Muir came along
about half drunk and tried to awaken
the sleeping man. Failing he opened
the Shirt of Sanchez and, drawing q
knife. made a motion to disembowel
him. He feared the job could not be
done with dnll knife, for after feeling
the edge of the blade, he stepped inside
and sharpened it quite deliberately on a
stone, trying 1t occasionally ON his own
dampened finger, and then smiling at
the bystanders, who thought he was
jesting. He finally secured the proper
edge, and, kneeling by the side of San
chez, plunged the blade in the sleeping
man S abdomen, partially Withdrew II
ran It over against the hip bone. and
turned II upward as far as the ribs would
allow 1t to 60. Muir then puIIed tho

licked the blood from the blade on one
side and placed the knife in the scab-
bard by his side. He was seized bv
those who witnessed the crime and
placed IN custody. Sanchez was alive

chez, but he wanted TO try his new knife.

Depew and other high odhcials or the
New York, New Haven aud Hartford
rI1lroad company, On charge OF man
slaughter in causing the death or SIX
persons killed in the recent tIInne! ool-
hEion, marks new departure in fixing
criminal responsibility. The CoronM's S
Jury finds that the officers and directors
OF the company are legally responsible
for the reason that their agent, Engineer
Fowler, was unable to distinguish the
danger signal, and for the further reason
that the wreck was fired by car stove
which the company used III violation
of the laws of the State of New York
The verdict ID based on the assumption
that white light, when seen through
smoke and fog, becomes red az ohsCurity
increases, while a yellow light becomes
red with still less obscurity In other
words, that had electric arc lights been
used for signals instead of the ordinary
yellow light, the accident would not
have happened, and hence the directors,
IN neglecting the means for safety, are
crlmlnally responsible.

doubtless be one of the most important
and interesting in the history of that
class of cases bearing upon the doctrine
OF criminal negligence. If the grand
jury shall find true bills against the ac-
cused, and they are put upon trial for
their liberty, they will spare no effort to
make their defense as complete as pos
sible. The burden will be upon them to
show why they continued the use
of the car stove after they had been for
hidden by law to do so. But the chief
interest viii center in the degree of re-
sponsibility which the law imposes, not
merely upon trainmen and others direct
ly concerned in the carrying of passen-
gers, but upon the directors, who have
the entire management in their
hands and who have it in their
power to decide what is necessary and
what is not necessary to guard against
fatal accidents.-Pitsblsrg Commercial.

commonwealth.

The magnificent Treasury surplus Of
500, ,000, 900 left by Cleveland's admin
istration, says the Philadelphia Record.
Is gone, and the Treasury is threatened
with an early deficit of $50, ,OOO, 900.
But the condition of the finances had no
restraining influence upon the Repub-
hcan majority in Congress. They went
on accumulating expenditures for indi-
gent pensions, subsidies and other ike
eNtravagances as if there had been no
bottom TO the Treasury. In vain the
Democratic minority protested against
this recklessness and waste. The min
ority could only look on while Speaker
Reed manufactured his quorums out Of
members not present or voting, and
lashed his followers into support of a
desperate and destructive partisan pro-
grammc. What does a discerning pub
lie think, in the end, of Speaker Reeds
parliamentary system and its legislative
results? How long would it take such
statesman, practicing such system, to
bring popular government into the deep
est reproach?

AN inmate of the State Penitentiary
Of Colorado, has devised plan by which
convicted murderer is made to exc
cute himself and bill has been offered
in the Legislature of that State to adopt
the plan of execution. That the bill
will meet with objections on moral as
well as on other grounds goes without
saying. In this county, supposing poor
Marsh could have quietly executed him
self. how many of the seven hundred
who are nOlr or ought 10 be considering
themselves under obligations TO the
Chairman of the Republican County
Committee for the chance of witnessing
the great moral show, would have been
disappointed! The benign influences of
Christian hanging, under the manage
ment of the Chairman of the Republican
County Committee in this county would
have been lost. The idea of a law of
that kind may be entertained in a front
Ter Western State ike Colorado, where
the reinements of civilization are but
budding; but here in Pennsylvania, a
State dotted over with churches and
schools, where civilization has got her
growth and reached maturity; where
even calamities are regarded as but the
chastisements of Providence intended for
our good and where the execution of an
unfortunate criminal, under the manage
ment of a Chairman of Republican
County Committee with the proper
means OF grace, may be turned into
Republican blessing, the law we believe

THE revenues of the Government for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1891, were
estimated by the Secretary OF the Treas
ury at s472 ,OOO, 600. For the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1892, the estimate
is 1929, 100000. Upon this basis of es-
timated revenue the prohigate Congress
which adjourned finally made appropria-
tons which Senator Carlisle thinks will
reach 1926, 900, 600. This extravaganza
is without parallel, as it is without ex-
cuse. Like plundering mercenaries
sacking the burning city, the ReedCon-
gress has snatched at everything in
sight. With authorized outgo nearly
s1Oo, 900, 600 in excess of probable re-
ceipts, the Treasury viii be bankrupted.
A deficit of not less than $50, 600. GOO
will certainly have to be provided for by
the next Congress.
