A Brakeman Scalded,

A pipe on the engine of the local freight
of the Belvidere Delaware Railroad bursted
on Friday of week before last just below
Milford. Brakeman Nathan G.. Agin, OF
Trenton, who was in the cab of the engine,
was terribly burned. The explosion forced
the door of the fire box open. The fire
and steam came out of the door with ter.
rife force, and knocked the engineer,
fireman aud Agin, who was standing in
front of the boiler at the time, out in the
road. Agin was taken to Trenton. His
body, from the hips down to the heels,
was terribly scalded.

From of our own Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. "a, 1891.
The anxiously looked for Gambler report
to Congress has at last been handed in.
1t is all Gambler and no Committee. He
states so himself lie criticises, and to
some extent VIC think properly, the large
salaries of the Commission officials. He
objects to | 10 ladies TO look after the iu-
terests of women at the Fair. Since that
board was arranged, by its energy and
work it has proven TO be about as impor-
tant factor OF the Exposition as the Ma
tional Commission itself. Its Importance
at first was not realized. He also thinks
that the National Commission has over.
stepped the authority that Congress meant
it to have, that practically the Exposition
should be managed by the local directory
and that the Commission to great degree
should be simply spectator. To do this
would be 10 denationalize the Exposition.
This is contrary to the true nature and
conception Of the enterprise. The report
has been ably answered 10 the House by
Commissioner Lindsay, of Kentucky. Ia
all it will not have the effect that was an
ticipated. Ii is not expected it will in
fluence Legislation pro or con.
The United States Minister has officially
announced that the Chinese Government

it will effectively unite the interests Of the
two nations.

being introduced in the Legislature TO mp.

New York Legislature is considering a
bill appropriating $3.50, 900 and the APP
pointment Of board Of seven commission
ers to look after the States exhibit.
The last official report Of Commission
OF Architects has been adopted by tb,
Committee on Buildings and Grounds
and provides for an area OF "a acres unde
roof in Jackson Park, and the plans ar,
SO arranged that an additional 30 acre
may be added. The Chicago Lady Mana
gers have petiiioned that their building
be placed on the Lake Front. The las
allotment 10 the Lake Front is five build
ings, viz : Art Palace, Decorative Ar
Building, Water Palace, Electrical Dis
play and Music Hail.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1891-02-04

OF all these the Water Palace will be the
gem. 1t be will constructed of steel and iron
from the foundation to the crystal Dome.
1t will be circular hall $50 feet in diane
ter, surmounted by transparent dome of

1t is now feared unless Congress passes
measure TO prevent it, that Chicago will
be over run by at least 500, 900 destitute
beings during the Fair This is being
brought about by the INSCRIPTIONS emf
grant agents, who are holding out the in
ducement OF plenty of work and high
wages in Chicago in preparing for the Elk
position. Should this be allowed the peace
and order of the city during the year Of
the Fair would be impcriled.

The Burnt Church.

Ine
Yesterday, the President OF the Mercer
Mutual and Mr.. Williams of the American
Fire Insurance Co., of Philadelphia, visit
ed our town, to adjust the policy claims
of S. Andrews Church. They were met
by the Rector and Wardens of the church,
and the two parties appointed, respective.
ly, Mr.. Geo. w. Arnett and Mr.. Peter s.
Parker, as appraisers. After surveying
the ruins, the appraisers concurred in a
report awarding, (with very small abate-
ment, on technical grounds,) the full
amount of insurance, 50, 500 on building,
furniture and organ.
This amount is of course far lesJ than
the actual loss TO the parish, and entirely
inadequate TO the restoration of the build
ing and its contents even on the cheapest
plan possible.
But we are sure that it is the desire of
our citizens, as it will be the endeavor OF
the congregation, to build on larger scale
and in a manner better suited to the ac-
tual requirements Of Christian churches 10
our day No plan ought TO be approved,
that does not take 10 rooms for Sunday
School and various other parish activities.
We think the ann will be TO lose no time
in rebuilding; but If the practice OF the
church during many years past can be
taken as an indication of its future &C
ton, we feel pretty sure that there will
be great prudence, and the avoiding OF
debt This suggests that those who in
tend 10 render assistance should not be
slow In making known their good pur.
pose. Let the officers of the church hear
very soon, from friends and ueighbors,
what they propose TO give, and when, il
they are not prepared already to pay the
sums they subscribed. That is wise
saying, quoted in the Bishops letter In
the ''Messenger"-"He gives twice who
! gives quickly"

To the Editor of the "Lemocrat :"
We noticed an item in recent issue OF

himself geclogist. He says: "As u

come out and tell US what we will, and
what we will not get, which, If he is II
geologist, aud master of his profession, he
should be able TO do. But neither he,
nor any other geologist living can tell us
what kinds of rocks VIC drilled through,
and at what depths we found them in the
well 10 Nockamixon township.
We have not found oil yet, but we
found an eight foot bed OF anthracite coal,
although biologists (most of them, in fact
all but one) claimed II 10 be impossible TO
fad coal in Bucks county. Not many
years ago, heard geologist say he
could drink all the oil Allegheny county,

eleven wells in Allegheny county, not one
of which was dry. The Ralshouse, No.

A RUSSIAN BAsTILE-
The Terrible Prison Of Schlusselburg whers
Even the Guards are Prisoners.

The Terrible Prison Of Schlusselburg whers
Even the Guards are Prisoners
Some fifty miles from ST. Petersburg, upon
the lake of Ladoga, there is q small granite
island. entirely occupied by q fortress says
Free Russia. 1t is schlusselburg, the dreadful
prison Of state-worse than the French Bastile,
worse than the fortress OF st. Peter and st.
Paul. with its Troubetzkoi and Aleneevsy
ravelins and its underground cells. The most
resolute Of the revolutionists, men and women
who have taken part in active conspiracies,
whom it is not considered safe to keep in
the fortress Of st. Peter and St. Paul. are sent
there.
The absence Of any inhabitants except those
employed in the service renders it possible to
isolate the prisoners to a degree unattainable
anywhere else. No one is allowed to land upon
tie island. Sentinels have orders to shoot any
one who approaches. If the near relatives Of Q
prisoner inquire concerning him at the police
department in st. Petersburg they are some
times told "alive' or .'dead;'' sometimes no
answer is given. The soldiers and guards are
themselves prisoners, who mingle only with
each other and are carefully watched on the
rare occasions when they are allowed to make
visit to the mainland. 1t was possible to
establish secret communications with even the
most jealousy guarded ravelins of the St.
petersburg fortress. But the fortress of
schiusselburg remained dumb, like the grave
it is.
The journal continues: Though some Of the
oest-known men of the revolution party, in
whom the greatest interest was felt among the
whole body of revolutionists, were kept there.
we rarely could even tell whether they were
alive or dead. A few months ago, however,
our friends in Russia received some news from
this place Of endless misery 1t is very brief
only such as can be conveyed upon a bit Of pa
per struggled with the greatest danger through
some friendly hand. It merely tells which Of
the prisoners are dead and which are still alive
But even this summary is eloquent enough.
We learn from it that out of the fifty-two pris-
oners sent there in the course of the last eight
years twenty or about 4e per cent are already
dead. Several Of those who survive should be
added to the list of the dead. They are insane
and have lost what is as precious, if not more
precious to q man than life.
