THAT a railroad company would leave its
tracks and bridges several hours without
being visited by a watchman should come
very near the laws on criminal carelessness.
Though railroads usually have wa atchmen
for all hours of the night and day, the want
of one caused a disastrous wreck and terri
BILE loss of life at Charleston, W. Va, yester-
day morning. If the company employs no
watchman, it certainly should, as no bridge
should be left hours without an inspection,
especially when hundreds of lives depend
upon its stability.

BEFORE the New York courts had got out
that injunction against the Sugar Trust div
idend the sweet sugar men had drawn out
$780, of the dividend. The careful way in
which the courts of New York time their
action SO as to make it too late to be any
especial trouble to the Sugar Trust deserves
the undying gratitude of the saccharine
millionaires. 1t is only surpassed by the
Jealous care with which the courts do not
interfere with the Standard Oil Trust ut all.

THE COMPROMISE VERDICT AGAIN

Another compromise verdict has been
recorded in the case Of the Algerian known
as ''Frenchy," on trial for that sensational
murder in New York which was widely
advertised as another "Jack the Ripper
case. The jury brought in a verdict of
murder in the second degree, and the COM
promise so nearly hits the popular opinion
Of the case that it is generally received
with tolerant approval
Nevertheless, there was not a particle
of evidence tending to establish the degree
of the murder The verdict is not SO
violently illogical as some of the other
compromise verdicts, notably that of the
Clan-na-Gael case, in Chicago, in which
by no possibility could the verdict be
considered in accordance with the
facts. 1t has the shadowy foundation
that the prisoner acted excitably on his
trial and the jury thought, therefore, that

Their Proximity.

Their Proximity.
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Pennsylvania is a powerful State in ma
terial resources, and no wonder that her
people give themselves almost wholly up to
material increase. And yet, after riding
through Central Pennsylvania up the Valley
of the Susquehanna, one sees that the equil-
ibrium between the Keystone and the EN-
pire States has been very well maintained
New York has no coal, but the coal of Penn
sylvania is more available to her, without
any intermediate tariff, than to q large
portion of Pennsylvania itself
New York has political compensation in
the greater breadth of its agricultural land,
for, taking out the lap of Pennsylvania and
the great Cumberland Valley, which COM
prise together about one-third of the State
or less, the rest of Pennsylvania is made up
of little mountain valleys, and a great deal
of the land is waste

General Serfel Likes Railroading In tn,
South Better Than Here,

General Serfel Likes RaiIroading In the
South Better Than Here.
General G. NJ. Serfel, OF Norfolk, regis
tered at the Monongahela House yesterday.
Formerly the General was Master OF Trans
portation for the old Pittsburg and Con-
nellsville road, but in 1881 he went South
to engage in the lumber business. He also
returned to railroading and became General
Manager OF the Norfolk and Carolina road,
which connects with the Atlantic coast line
system.
Railroad business is much easier to
handle in the South than in the North, and

you are badly cramped. The Baltimore
aud Ohio ought to own all the ground along
the river to Glenwood, but in the early DAYS
the wonderful growth of the city was not
foreseen. The land couldn't be bought now
1t would swamp the road"
Mr.. Serfel is interested in the Mcclure
Coke Company, and he came North to be
posted on the situation. He says the de-
mand for coke at present is so poor that it
hardly pays to start the works. He thinks
the labor troubles will soon be amicably set
tied. Mr.. Serfel yesterday renewed his &C.
quaintance with Baltimore and OHIO Off
ciaIs, who were glad to see him.

While the Main Body Do the Business
All in an Ohio Town.
KENToN, o., April 10.-William Bales,
who murdered Policeman Harper on Tues
day night of last week, was taken from Jail
by a mob of about so men at o'clock this
morning and hanged to tree nearby. The
mob gained entrance to the Jail by breaking
down the door, The noise awakened Sheriff
Neville. who rushed down stairs with re-
volver. a dozen men met him at the foot
of the stairs and thrust four reyolvers in his
face, demanding the Jail keys, saying they
wanted to get Bales to hang him.
The Sheriff refused to get the KEYS, not
having them with him. The mob found the
keys in an adjoining room, opened the Jail
doors, secured Bales, and gave him only
time to put on his pants and pair of slip
pers. They then took him cut and hanged
him to a maple tree on Wayne street, near
North street, about 30 yards from the Jail.
The mob, was we'll organized, and all wore
black masks except one, which was white,
and was worn apparently by the leader.
Not more than 90 minutes elapsed from the
time the door was broken open till Bales
was dangling between earth and sky. He
did not make any outcry, and only groaned
a few times while leaving the jail cell.
Sentinels guarded all approaches leading to
the Jail. Nobody was allowed to approach
nearer than a square.
The mob dispersed as quickly and silently
as it gathered, all going in different direc-
tions. Nobody saw the hanging except the
lynchers. Some guarded tine Sheriff, while
others stood on the street corners and stopped
pedestrians from approaching. Who the
mob were and where they came from is
mystery. The Coroner is holding an in
quest.

A Chance for the Charitable.

Will you please lay the following appeal be efore
your readers: 1t has been demonstrated that
deaf children can be taught speech and lip read
ing. be educated and be enabled to communicate
with their families and friends through the
same, and a number Of pure oral schools for
such instruction are in existence In the United
States. To the complete success of the method,
however, 1t is necessary that these deaf chill
dren should be guided and trained to speech
from the age when hearing children begin to
learn to talk.
AS the majority of these children are poor,
and as all mothers, even of those who are not
poor, DO not understand how to train them to
speech, NJ SIS Fuller. principal or the Horace
Mann D5y School for the Deaf (pure oral),
Boston. Established two years ago home for
the training in speech of deaf children before
they are Of school age. The necessary funds
for commencing the good work in New Eng
land were raised by the mother of a success
fully trained deaf child. The children are, of
course, under the care Of persons specially
trained for that purpose, and their progress
already gives great encouragement.
Miss Fuller who has been Principal of the
Horace Mann Day School for the Deaf for
many years, says: "Does it not Seem most
unaccOuntable that the earliest years of deaf
chlldrens lives have been So long overlooked
in the plans for their mental Development

PULPITS AND PEWS.
The Scotch and American Ideas
Concerning Ministers.
RESPECT HERE SHOWN TO WORTH.
A Few of the Topics to Be Presented by
Our Local Pulpits.
GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

The following editorial note from this
weeks United Presbyterian is well put.
"The time was when minister was sure to
be honored because of his Office, but that
time has passed. Respect for ministers who
are worthy OF respect has not passed away;
they were never more respected than at pres
ent. If minister would be loved and
revered ne must be a true man and a
Christian gentle man. If he is not, his cler-
ical coat will not shield him from dis
honor" In the long run ministers and all
will receive the respect TO which they are
entitled. True worth is sure to win, how
ever much it may be clouded for time. In
the fountain head of Presbyterianism,
namely Scotland, the Lords anointed is
treated with greater deference, perhaps,
than anywhere on the earth. The minister
there, once he has charge, ranks with the
nobility in the.popular sentiment.
Scotland is the paradise of preachers.
The American idea places ministers on the
same level with all, and paws Difference only
to the minister who Is worthy of Difference.
After all. the true minister cannot object to
the American sentiment, which requires
that the Lords anolnted shall prove their
title clear to respect before it is accorded.
