The Colum blan Express. via
PeAnsylVan1a Railroad.

The new fast train to Chicago by
the Pennsylvania Railroad, which
entered the service on June 7th as
the Chicago Special, has been rsch.
ristened The Columbian Express
in honor of the great fair. In be-
slowing this title on the new train,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company

railroads in recognizing the merits
of the Worlds Exposition by provid-
ing special facilities for the comfort
able and speedy movement of visitors.
The train is particularly worthy of
bearing the honered title. 1t is the
ripest example of train construe-
ton, as it contains accommodations
for those who desire luxurious apart
ments as well as for those who seek
the comforts of q well appointed

sec in cutlery. For this finish they are
heated red hot and then cooled in
oil.

To Builders.

1t is of interest to men who have
houses and other buildings erected
to know that new Lien Law" was
passed by the late legislature and
signed by the governor which pro-
vides: THAT no contract which shall
hereafter be made for the erection of
the whole, or any part of new
building, which the the owner of the
lot on which the same shall be erected,
shall operate to Interfere with or to
defeat the right of a subcontractor
who shall do work or shall furnish
materials under agreement with
the original contractor in aid
of such erection, to file mechanics
lien for the amount which shall be
but for the value of such work or
material furnished, unless such sub
contractor shall have consented in
writing to be bound by the provis-
ions of such contract with the owner
in regard to the filing of such liens.
Without such written consent of the
sub contractor all contracts between
the original contractor and the own
er which shall expressly or implicitly
stipulate that no such lien shall be
filed shall be invalid as against the
right of such sub contractor to file
the same.
"All persons contracting with the
owner of ground for the erection and
construction of the whole, or of any
part, Of new building thereon shall
be deemed the agent of such owner
in ordering work and materials in

contrary in the contract between the
owner and the contractor, unless
such stipulstions shall have been
consented to in writing by such sub

Horrible.

On the 17th of June blood curd-
ling tragedy WAS enacted at Parker
ford in the valley Of the Schulkiil by
Frank Bixbse 45-year-old foundry
man of Royersford. Maddened by
excessive drink, and possibly also af
fected by the extreme heat, Bixbee,
without revealing enough of his con-
dition to frigbten them, induced
three little girls tofollow him short
distance. They were Annie and
jennie Kneer and Katie Donnelly,
children of the foundryman's near
neighbors.
Before the quartet had gone far
together the girls noting several of
Bixbee's peculisrities objected to any
further walk even with their we'll
known neighbor. Thereupon the
drunken man. his eyes flashing like a
demons caught the two smaller girls
and grasped one hand of each with
his own vice like right, and then cap
tured the elder, Annie Kneer, with
his left hand. The children now
thoroughly terrified screamed at the
top of their vsices. This only slim
rllated the mailman to terrible pur-
pose The Schulkill Canal was close
at hand, and toward it he dragged
the children at furious pace.
Pursuit was only question Of a
few moments with the children
screaming as they did, and Bixbee
was desperate. Quickly hauling his
little victims across the tow-path.
Bixbee half plunged, half rolled in
the canal with them.
As thesplunge was made 7Annie
kneer the elder of the children,
broke away and foundorsd to the
shore. Katie Donnelly also broke
loose az the remaining trio struggled
in the water. She went under the
surface several times, however, before
she reached the tow-path bank and
joined Annie Kneer there. Barely
recovering from their own narrow
escape from death, Annie and Katie
rushed wildly up and down the tow
path, wringing their hands and won.

with little Jennie. They still bsliev.

But neighbors reached the canal
bankbefore either Bixbee or Jennie
kneer were seen at the surface.
Then it was evident that both were
drowned.
Grappling-irons and boat were
procured, and the bodies were soon
recovered, little Jennie's arm being
tightly locked in the dead mans em-
brace. An angry crowd made rusI
for Bixbee's body, and would have
kicked it to pieces if they had moi
been interfered with in Incorporation
Had Bixbee been recovered alive, he
would undoubtedly have been speed

Buckwalter * Cos stov9 foundry,

Mrs. William Kneer,. the parents o.
Jennie is heart rending, and fear is
entertained that the mother will lose
her reason.

Origin of the Grossbeak.

There has always been dispute in
regard to the pretty grossbeaks which
have visited this city in large focks
nearly every winter for ten or twelve
years past. 1t has been claimed that
they originated from number of the
birds of this species brought here in a
ship from China and turned loose by MIR.
Walter Moffet. Others claim that the
birds are natives of this country, and are
identical with the evening grossbeak of
the Middle States. Among the birds
brought over on the Coloma, from Hong
Kong, to be turned loose here, are
number of these grossbeaks, which goes
to prove that the theory that the tiocks
here originated from birds brought from
China by Walter Moifet is the true one.
Old residents say that there were no such
birds here in early days. 1t is scarcely
possible that they have emigrated here
over the Rocky Mountains. Portland

BEFORE THE GATE.

They gave the whole long day to idle laugh
ter.
To fitful song and jest,
To moods of soberness as idle, after,
And silences, as idle, too, as the rest
But when at last upon their way returning,
Taciturn, late and loath,
Through the broad meadow In the sunset
burning,
They reached the gate, one fine spsll him
dered them both.
Her heart was troubled With subtle an
guish
Such as but women know.
That wait, and lesU love speak or speak not,
languish,
And what they would, would rather they
would not so
ing
OF all the wondrous guile
That women won win themselves with and
bending
Eyes of relentless asking ON her the
while
"Ah, II beyond this gate the pain united
Our steps as far as death,
And might open it'-His voice, affrighted
At its own daring, faltered under his
breath.
Then she-whom both his faith and fear en-
chanted
Far beyond words to tell,
Feeling her woman's finest wit had wanted
The art he had that knew to blunder
we'll
Shyly drew near little step, and mocking,
"Shall we not be too late
For tear" she said. "Pm quits worn out
with walking;
Yes, thanks, your arm. And will you
open the gate?'

Thirty thousand tons, or two thousand
carloads, of staff will be used in the con-
struction of the main buildings of the
Exposition at Chicago. 1t has been de-
cided that all of the buildings will be
faced with this material. Staff was in
vented in France about 1876, and first
used in the buildings of the Paris Expo
sition in 1878. 1t is composed chiefly
of powdered gypsum, the other constit-
uents being alumni, glycerinc and dex-
trine. These are mixed with water
without heat, and cast in molds in any
desired shape and allowed to harden.
The natural color is a murky white, but
ether colors are produced by external
'ashes, rather than by additional ingre-
tents. To prevent brittleness the ma
erial is cast around a coarse cloth, bag
.ing or oakum. The casts are shallow
c, and about half an inch thick. They
be in any form-in imitation of cut
me, rock, faced stone, holdings, or
most delicate designs. For the low
portions of the walls the material is
xed with cement, which makes it hard.
aft is impervious to water, and is a
ornament building material, although
cost is less than one-tenth of that OF
arble or granite,

The recent outburst against the Prin

The recent outburst against the Prince
of Wales is, says London Truth, proof
positive that loyalty in the old sense OF
the word has ceased to exist. The
Queen is respected as woman, but not
as the descendant of line of Kings.
The monarchy rests upon the fragile basis
of the good conduct of the occupant of
the throne. As principle it has already
disappeared. 1t has become mere ques-
tion of expediency whether we shall have
King or do without one. Kingship
will last out my time, but it is doomed.
Whether England will get on better OF
worse for being republic, 1 do not

to become before fifty years have ex-
pired,

Facts About the Moose.

In the Zooloqist Mr.. Lockhart, an ex-
perienced hunter, gives some interesting
facts about the moose. The senses of
hearing and smelling in the moose are
remarkably acute, and the animal in
COUGHING lies with its tail to windward
and eyes to leeward, so that it can scent
an approaching enemy from one side or
see him from the other. When sleeping
or ruminating, the ears of the moose are
perpetually moving, one forward, the
other backward, alternately, like those
OF horse. Before going to rest the
moose turns on its course and lies down
near its trail, so as to be able to hear or
smell its pursuer before he comes up with
it.

The New York Aaoerti8er observes:
Italy's "fatal gift of beauty" has brought
upon her many woes. Whether it was
California's fatal gift of her 'sglorious
climate" that brought down upon her
those fatal hordes of Chinese we cannot
tell. But her woes never end, it would
seem. Backed by Federal legislation,
she is on the point of stemming the tide
of Celestial immigration. But now we
learn that the japanese have found her
out. There are now said to be 5000
Japs in California; a number soon to rise
to 10000.

Women doctors are becoming so
numerous in England that there is com.
petition for the appointments in hos,
pitfalls. When the Government decided
to supply women doctors in the hospitals
for Mohammedan women, there was a
call for limited number of women

position, declares the New York AdpeJ'-

select from the number.
