James Porter, SON of Mr.. Levi
Porter, keeper of the bridge across
the Potomac at Shepherdstown, was
killed near Rockford, ILL.,, recently.
He was employed as engineer on the
railroad at that place, and while
walking along the track his foot be-
came fastened in the guard rail and
he could not extricate It. An APP
preaching engine passed directly over
the body, breaking leg and arm in
q frightfuI manner and fracturing the
skull. He fingered four hours until
death relieved him of his sufferings.
From the Warren Sentinel: Hon.
William L. Wilson, of West Virginia,
member of the Fifty-second Congress,
is highly spoken Of for Speaker of
that body. A Norfolk paper says:
g So far as brains and ability are
concerned, no member of the Fifty
second Congress win possess superior
qualifications than Mr.. Wilson for the
speakership, and should the honor
be conferred upon that gentleman it
is safe to say that the party would
suffer no loss of strength thereby.
The most effective speech at the time
of Mr.. Reeds usurpations at the
commencement OF the Fifty-frst Con-
gress was delivered by Mr.. Wilson,
and while it contained not an unpar-
Elementary word, the language en-
IN It's delivery was SO keen aud
incisiYe that even the Maine autocEat
could not faIl 70 FEEL its effect, q

Cool Chicago street Car Conductor
Prevents Terrible Collision.
CHICAGO, Feb. "A collision between a
street car and pa senger train on the
Grand Trunk railroad was barely averted
last evening through the GOODNESS of the
conductor of the street car As an Archer
avenue car approached the crossing of the
Grand Trunk road, the flagman stationed
there signaled to the driver to go ahead
The conductor of the car, however, noticed
passenger train coming around a curve
short distance away at a high rate of
speed. Hastily signaling to the driver to
stop the conductor ran along the track
waving his hands and succeeded in at
tracing the attention of the engineer and
stopping the train when it was not more
than two feet from the car In the rush
oil panic stricken passengers from the car
Joseph Hanlon was severely cut and
bruised about the head, and Mrs. A.
killian had her right leg broken near the
ankle and was otherwise injured.
