Just as Hewitt was to cross the line the
| winner two little children, boy and a
girl, got in the way, and the bicyclist, head
and body bent and not seeing them, dashed
| into them. both the youngsters being sent
| escaping serious injury. 1t was all done
| so suddenly that neither the spectators, of
| whom there were three hundred or more
on foot or in carriages, were able to inter
! pose quickly enough to get the children
out of the way, and shouts were of nc
avail. The little folks were picked uI
bruised and dusty and taken home.
A bet of 500 was made that Jacob
Broschart couldn't keep up with the bicy.
clists during the ten miles with his fine
saddle horse Prince. For about three
miles he kept little behind them, but he
came in between three and four minutes
ahead of them. He did not push the horse
at all, and at the end of the race the horse
was still fresh and showed no signs OF
fatigue. Prince is undoubtedly one of the
| finest saddle horses in the country, and IL
a beautiful animal, thoroughly good nat
ured and always ready to do his best fol

from a Tree and is Seriously In
jured.
Frank Bartlett, ffteen-year-old boy
living at 81 Foster street, met with serious
accident late yesterday afternoon which
will keep him from doing much for few
months. While gathering wa1nuts from a
tree in the woods near the corner of Willow
and Orange streets yesterday limb broke
under him and he fell to the ground, a
distance of fifteen feet, breaking both arms
above the wrists.
His mother arrived soon after, having
been called by one of the boys who were
with him, and soon several more ladies
came, also Lawyer Talcott Russell and
others who CHANGED to be passing. Mr.
William E. Downes' coachman, who was in
a carriage, drove to steamer IS house,
whence the police wagon at station was
summoned by telephone. The wagon was,
however, found to be too narrow. DR..
Frank Whittemore, who was summoned,
set the broken bones and put them in
splints. The boy was then taken to his
home in light wagon, which was pro-
cured near by. DR.. Whittemore said he
remembered a case exactly like this some
years ago, when he attended boy who
had his arms broken in the same part, in
the same manner and in the same woods.
The father Of the boy was killed some time
ago by fall from house which he was
painting.

Miss Daisy Merwin, daughter of Robert

experience yesterday which she will not
soon forget. A cat attacked her mon
strous Newfoundland dog, jumped on his
back and bit and scratched him severely.
In trying to separate them she was badly
bitten and her hands were covered with
scratches and badly torn by the cats sharp
teeth. The wounds were cauterized, ) and
it is now thought that no serious results

MERIDEN, Oct. S.-The threatening

was expected that 1 1000 men would be in

THE CHRONIC TROUBLE.

A review of the progress OF Congressional
business shows that forty-eight hours be ore
the termination of the session four of the
regular appropriation bills have passed both
Houses of Congress; nine are in con erence
committees at various stages OF progress, and
three are yet to pass the Senate. 1t will
thus be seen that in two days session there
must be action in both Houses of Congress
on twelve of the appropriation bills, includ-
ing BY far the greater share of the expendi-
lures of the Government, or else the abso-
lutely necessary work of Congress will re-
main undone.
Of course, it will be utterly impossible in
that space OF time for Congress to exercise
the scrutiny that should be given to the
government expenditures. to detect snares,
to cut down extravaganza in one quarter, or
to exert wise liberality In another. 1t will
be even more impossible to give any atten-
tion to important measures of non-partisan
legislation which have been awaiting the
pleasure of our lawmakers during the en-
tire session. This is only new example of
a long-standing and growing Congressional
vice. The expiring Congress has, as was
early predicted by THE DISPATCH, wasted
so much time in partisan squabbles that at
the close Of the session it is wholly unable
10 do the work of passing the appropriation
bills as it ought to be done. much less to
pass such measures for the general interest
as the bankruptcy bill.
1t is obvious that this evil will continue
unchecked until Congressmea learn to
eschew rabid parrisanship and special Iegis-
latlon. That reform is long way off; hut
until it is reached it is instructive to know
that the controlling Influences of Congress
sioual work are such as to make its proper
discharge impossible.

PITTsBURG. MONDAY, MAR. ?, 1891
NEW FOREIGN LABOR.

The discovery brought out in our local
columns that there is considerable acces-
sion of French glassworkers to the popula-
tion of Pittshurg is an interesting one, how
ever it may turn out. Under any view it is
q proof of the high rate OF wages paid to
labor in this industry, and the attractions
thus offered to workers from other countries.
As to the call for legal interference, that
depends on facts which are not yet clearly
established, If the new gassworkers come
over on their own responsibility in the hope
Of securing a share o. the good wages paid
in that industry, they are only exercising a
right held out to them by our laws. If
they are brought here by agreement or
promises from employers, they ought to
come under the action of the contract labor
law. But, as the strongest allegation in that
direction is that they are attracted here by
the circulation OF the statistical informa-
tion that wages are far higher here than in
their own country, it is not likely that the
courts will hold the circulation of what is
our national boast to be contract, in VIOLA
tIon OF the law.
That enactment has already made a record
of not keeping any Of the labor that is un-
desirable. 1t does not seem likely to vary
the record in this instance.

Prison Life as UReiuv Found II,

Joined, which was found among his manu-
scripts:
II was convict in an English prison four
years ago. and. before the impressions then re-
ceived are weakened or rubbed out by time. it
may be of interest to recall few "reminiscences

trrated precisely the same as they were. My
ohense against the law was political.
One meets strange characters in prison. char
acters which are "a once recognized as being
natural to the place, as are bats or owls to a
cave. Prison characters, like all others, are
seen by different men in different lights. For
instance, visitor passing along corridor and
glanclng through the iron gates or observation
holes of the cells sees only the quiet, and. to
him, sullen-looking convict, with all the crime
suggesting bumps largely developed on his
shaven head. The same man will be looked
upon 10y the officer who has charge of him as
one of the bet. most obedient and industrious
of the prisoners. which conclusion he comes to
by clo-er acquaintance than that of the Wis
itor, although his observations are still only of
extrriors. No man sees the true nature of the
cnnvlc but his fellow convict. He looks st
him with level glance ana sees him In com.
mon atmosphere However convicts deceive
their prison officers and chaplains, which they
do in the majority of cases. they never deceive
their fellows.
