CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 27.-Yester
day an excursion train from JohnstOwn,

tween some drunken men on the plat
form of one of the cars. to quell which
James Kelly, policeman from Johns

gered the crowd, and it made a rush
for him, and forced him between the
cars while the train was running at the
rate of forty miles an hour. The con-
ductor signaled the train to stop. the
coupling broke, and Kelly dropped
under the wheels. and was crushed to
death. Lucius Meyers, Of Latrobe, was
thrown from the platform under the
wheels and killed; Milton Pyle, of SOM

TO ROB THE GOVERNOR.
Attempt Last Evening to Burglar
ize the Executive Mansion.

Attempt Last Evening to Burglar
ize the Executive Mansion.
Last evening while Gov. Merriam and
his family were out driving, a man
gained access to the house, and when
discovered by the governors colored
servant, the fellow took to his heels and
managed to make his escape. On the
return of the governor he was informed
of the affair and the police at
once notified. The officers were
furnished with a good description
of the unwelcome visitor, and
general alarm sent out to capture the
man. An examination of the house did
not disclose any articles missing, and it
is surmised that the man was making a
survey of the house in order to commit
burglary at some future time.
Gov. Merriam, when seen last evening
by reporter, refused to speak of the
affair further than to say that he
thought the man was a sneak thief.
1t will be remembered that some years
ago the governor was robbed of num-
Der of diamonds by burglar, who was
afterwards captured and sent to state
prison.

Two Recommendations.

First-That public opinion be not allowed to
slumber again, but that being now aroused
to the fact that many laws of this city are
being constantly violated, each citizen be
individually wakeful and faithful in calling
the attention of the proper authorities to all
such violations, and be ready both to testify
and to prosecute whenever the necessity
shall require
Second-We recommend that every good
citizen shall unite in the law and order
league, the announcement of whose Organi-
cation is TO be this evening made: that it be
seen to that this league have personal, moral
and pecuniary support. that it may become
the terror of evil-dOers the rebuker of law
lesSneSs. wherever present. and the promoter
of good order and the enforcement of law.
Received with Applause.
The reading of the report was re-
ceived with applause, although the ref
erence to the calling out of the military
showed that a part of the audience was
opposed to that. The mayors name
was Missed and applauded, while all
references to Gov. Merriam were
cheered to the echo. Sheriff Bean was
called fearless man." and the audi
ence mildly applauded.
Bishop Gilbert was the next speaker.
The bishop made an eloquent plea for
the enforcement of the law as it was.
''We do not ask for anyehing but the en-
forcement of the laws the people have
made" said the speaker. I'VE ask no fanat-
ical legislation, and here we stand and pro-
pose to stand"
The organization of the old law and
order league was described, and the
fact that no business man could be
found TO accept the presidency on the
score that it would damage his bust
ness was cited as evidence that public
sentiment was not what it should have
been.
On motion of Rev. DR.. Christie, of
the House of Hope church, the address
read by Secretary Abbott was adopted.
The League Officers.
The chairman introduced ID. w. D0ty,
the Prohibition attorney, as the secre-
tary of the new league, and stated that
he would announce the officers and
organization Of the new law and order
league. He made lengthy speech and
aroused applause when he said Judge
Mcmillan had been selected as the pres
ident.
"You do well to applaud, exclaimed the
young orator; for though your chairman
might not want me to tell ii, when we were
told by Sheriff Bean that the fight could not
be stopped if commenced without force, he
said: ~
sheriff, I carried the musket in 1861, and
if necessary will go along with you.
''All who are in favor of indorsing the
work of the committee will say Aye" said
Chairman Mcmillan.
AYE" said a thousand Threats, and
the Citizens Law and Order League of
st. Paul was declared organized.
The large audience thereupon slowly
dispersed.
The officers of the league are S. J. r.
Mcmillan, president; d. w. Doty, sec
rotary, and T. A. Abbott, treasurer.
The committee of one hundred will be
announced III a day or two.
