ON THE ID. S. & S.
Two Trains With But a Single Track
New Engines-Low Wages.

The D. S. & S. is a model railroad in
many respects, but wrecked engine is
proof that the impossible cannot be done
on it. Engineer Sands, of D. S. & S. No.
/, left Drifton on Saturday morning with
a train of loaded coal cars about the
same time that Engineer Reynolds pull
ed out from Hazleton with Lehigh Valley
&c, which the new road has purchased,
pushing three gravel trucks before it.
Owing to the telegraph lines not being
completed neither engineer was aware of
the others presence on the single track,
and both thought they had the right of
way and started for their respective des-
tinations at fair rate of speed. A short
distance this side of Jeddo Tunnel they
sighted one another, but too late to avoid
collision. Both engines were quickly
reversed and everybody jumped just be-
fore the crash. One of the trucks
mounted Engine No. l and almost totally
destroyed it. As the engines were re-
versed they Immediately started in op-
posite directions, but were captured a
short distance from the scene of the
wreck. No. | was badly mangled up
and had Engineer Sands stuck to the
throttle he would have been killed out
right. As the traffic of the road will be
increased considerable in the near future
many of these occurrences may be look
for.
Two new engines for this road steam
ed into Drifton on Monday morning.
They came direct from Baldwin's Loco
motive works, Philadelphia, and are of
the hog" Species. They are very heavy
and built especially for hauling long
trains.
People who claim to be in position
to know allege that much dissatisfaction
exists among the employees on account
of the low wages paid. Many who took
situations did so in the expectation that
the salaries would be increased to equal
those paid on the Lehigh Valley and
Central when the road began operations.
In this they were mistaken as engineers,
firemen and brakemen are all paid below
the men on other lines here, and there
seems to be no desire on the part of the
company to make an increase Notwith-
standing these rumors there is no lack of
applicants for positions, and the majority
who apply are old and experienced rail-
road men.

The report that Markle & Co. intended
to use the d. S. & S. in shipping their
coal from the new colliery at No. Pink
Ash proves to be untrue. They will
stick to the Lehigh Valley, which ham
dies all the coal produced by them. AL
though the D. S. & S. runs in close prox-
unity to the new opening, and could be
used to great advantage, the Lehigh Val
ley has force at work building branch
to No. from Drifton. Connection is 10

station at Drlfton.

To-day ends the best hunting season
in this region for several years. The
old sportsmen state that more rabbits
have been bagged since November
l than at any time previous. The woods
were constantly filled with men, guns
and dogs, yet every body seems satisfied
with the amount of game obtained. The
Game Protective Club is to be thanked
for all this, as the members spent con-
siderable time and money in propagating
and protecting the cotton-tails since last
season. The club will do the same dur
ing 1892 and offers a reward of $40 for
information of parties killing rabbits
after tomorrow.

John Butler, who lived alone in a
shanty above Stockton, was struck and
killed by a late train Christmas night
near that place. The remains were
taken to Hazleton and placed in charge
of Undertaken Boyle, who sent them to
a Philadelphia medical college by order
of the Poor Directors. This was done
in accordance with law passed two

UNDER THE WHEELS.

MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho, Aug. 10,
Jerry G. Cronin, section boss on
the Oregon Short Line at Medbury,
about twenty miles east of here,
last night boarded the fast express
at Glenn's Ferry, bound west.
The train not stopping at Medbury,
Cronin attempted to jump off at
that station. The train at the time
was running at full speed. In 50
doing he was drawn under the
wheels and run over. The unfor-
tunate man laid on the track after
the accident and was again run
over by west-bound freight train.
The trainmen of both trains were
ignorant of the accident and the
mutilated body was not discovered
until 5 o'clock this morning, when
an extra west reached Medbury.
The remains were found terribly
mangled, and between the rails.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
small children.

CAN MAKE RAIN.

MIDLAND, Texas Aug. 1.-THE
United States department of agri.
culture rainfall expedition has so
far made two successful expert
ments. One of the party in an in
terview said today that Saturday
and Monday preliminary trial of
part of the rain-making appar-
atus was had, and about ten hours
after the explosion heavy clouds
gathered and rain fell over many
miles of surface. We do not think
the explosions actually produced
the storm, but they were undoubt-
eddy instrumental in precipitating
the moisture which the clouds
brought to that locality, and greatly
increased the intensity of the storm.
The amount of the precipitation
was greatest in the vicinity of the
operation. We will continue to
make tests as to the density of the
atmosphere, so that the bombs
may be adapted to meet every
possible condition. When suff-
GENTLY satisfied upon these and
similar points, a decisive expert
ment will be made. The rain
today was the first good rain in this |
vicinity for several months.

NORTH IDAHO MINING TOWN.

Over 400 men are employed
around Mullan. At least half of
these receive $3.50 per day, the
others 81. This amount equals a
pay roll of $33, 800 per month. The
pay roll at Burke and vicinity is
estimated at $4,000 per month
and at Wardner 100000. The CEN
sus of June showed the population
Of Mullan and Wardner to be little
800 for each. A pretty good over
pay roll for places of that size. How
ever, nothing like a country living
on what it produces. Mining
seems to be pretty remunerative, if
properly conducted and produces
more than some real estate invest
ments.

4 STRANGE SIohr.

1t looked strange last Monday
afternoon, says a correspondent Of
the Ceur d'Alene Miner, to see a
live Chinaman on the streets Of
Mullan, so strange, indeed, that il
took a second and long look to per.
suade an old timer that his eyes
were not deceiving him. 1t was
true. He belonged to the dining
car Of the Northern Pacific, and
had come in as cook for the distin.
guished officials who were viewing
that new work. All who saw him
on the streets were not aware from
whence he came, but nobody cared
much. The anti-Chinese sentiment
is as stong in Mullan as it is any.
where in the CGur d'Alenes.
There was no meat in the dining
car and Chinaman started to the
market to get some. He was ad.
vised by a party standing by to
stay in the car. "Me no 'fraid
Mclean man." and away he went.
He got the beef, but while he was
getting it preparations were going
on to give him q bath such az he
never had before. He had just
emerged from the shop when a big
stout fellow grabbed him and the
two got to the center of the street
almost in front of the Windsor
hotel. The Chinaman was held
firmly and four hose, under strong
pressure, were turned upon him.
He yelled at the top Of his voice, |
but the flow Of water was steady, |
and not until the fellow who was |
holding him had got all he could
stand from the stray shots did
hey let up on the heather. Then
'e was escorted to his car and
title later the car pulled out Of!

ORIGIN OF DEMOCRACY.
Chicago News.


Chicago News.
The great gathering Of congrega
tionalists from all over the world
which has just closed its sessions in
London has awakened an unusual
interest in the question ofthe origin
of democracy because Of the init
mate connection between the devel.
opment Of congregationalism-or
the absolute separation of human
from ecclesiastic authority-with
the evolution Of democractic gov
eminent among English-speaking
peoples. Our British cousins ap-
pear to be particularly anxious to
identify the English independent
lists movement-which resulted in
the departure of the Mayflower and
in the founding Of the Massachu-
sets colony-with the origin of
modern democracy, and trace to it,
as the sole cause, the establishment
of the American republic. 1t other
words, they are anxious to prove
that the American nation was
evolved from English institutions
and is tn. legitimate offspring of
the English people.
This doctrine will hardly meet
with general approval by Ameri-
can thinkers. They will gladly
admit that the struggles Of the
English independents for religious
liberty were powerful factor in
defining the principles of the dem
cratic government, but they will not
overlook the fact that the puritans
who settled on P]ymoth rock were
by no means the ancestors, in any
sense, of the people who participate
ed in the establishment of Ameri.
can independence, nor that the
statements Of democracy made by |
American congregationalists have
always differed materially from
those of their English brethren.
With the advance Of purely
American thought there is growing
a belief that democracy" is but an
element in a greater principle
which has resulted from the revolu.
ton that established American in.
dependence. This greater princi-
pie is "republicanism"- only
as a form of government, but as
the principle from which a new
kind Of nation is now being evolved.
It might be defined as an interna.
tional democracy; but that term
would be easily misunderstood and
would deprive republicanism of its
foremost quality-the building up
Of a new nation, which may ulti-
nately be world nation, but
which, while growing, must be
even more jealous of its integrity
than any old-stylc nation need be,
because the latter always enjoys {
considerable protection through the ,
external character Of the condition G
# its membership. g
The source of American democ. ,
acy-or, more correctly speaking, a
# modern republicanism-is not to b
'e found in the historical develop. f
nent Of any one nation: it is the p
of forces which have T
'een developed by the coming b
ogether of many different nation a
!ities upon neutral ground. 1t h

HEAT IN NEW YORK.

! New YORK, Aug. 11.-New York
today has been a furnace seven
times heated. This was the third
day of the heated term in this city
and the hottest of the three, with
no prospect of a change tomorrow.
According to the probabilities as
furnished by the local forecast
officer the mercury bids fair tt,

a thermometer which registers the
actual degree of heat on the street
81 degrees was reached at $3.50.
At ga. M, without suspicion ola
breeze and the mercury steadily
climbing upward, the air was
sitting. AT noon it was unbearable
and between that hour and four in
the afternoon the ambulances were
busily engaged in carrying to thu
hospitals many human being pros
trated by the heat. Nothing like
it has ever been recorded at this
time in the year for nearly twenty
years and continuance during thu
week means an enormous increase
of mortality, especially in the
crow led tenement district.
