SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1S.-A train
consisting of an engine and 22 cars, on
the Greenwood railway, in Mendocino
county, jumped the track on bluff and
disappeared in the Pacific ocean. The
crew escaped by jumping.
At the point where the train went
over the road runs along the side of a
cliff, from which there is a sheer descent
of about 80 feet into the water.
The track is perfectly secure, and the
trains run over it at a good speed at all
times. The train lost yesterday was not
heavier than those that daily make the
trip, nor was it running at greater rate
of speed. The cars were loaded and
sank at once. None of the train crew
were much injured. The railroad COM
pany commenced preparations at once
to draw out the engine and ears. Drivers
and wrecking machinery have been sent
from this city.

Catholic Statistics.

According to the census returns nearly
one-tenth of the citizens of the United
States are communicates or members OF
the Roman Catholic church-the mum.
ber being $3.50, ,045. Their organiza-
tions number over 10, 900, and they have
8 ,765 church edifces, with seating
capacity of 1856, ,633 The value OF
their church property is S11S, ,3S1 SIG.
In IL of the So sees Gncluding Philadel-
phia) every organization has its own
church edifice. A note to these statistics
states that baptized persons below the age
of 9 years are not included in these Ie-
turns. They would probably increase
the population of the church to more
than Z, 100000.

ACCORDING to statements derived from
well-informed sources by the New York
Erening Post there are two companies
which practically monopolize the making
of granite ironware in this country. One
of these is the st Louis Stamping Com
pany-otherwise Mr.. Niedringhaus.
Under the old tariff the duty on such
ware was 40 per cent. Mr. Mckinley, to
obhge Mr.. Niedringhaus, raised it to so
per cent; and now, having had this so
per cent. clapped on the home market,
Mr.. Niedringhaus is doing so nicely that
he is enabled to sell his wares to the
Canadian consumer at prices 80 and 40
per cent. lower than they can be bought
for in this country.
So every householdin the land must pay
Its Neidringhaus tribute in one shape or
another. If its cookery be done in tin
utensils, Neidringhaus gets his share
of the broth, so to speak. If the family
meals be cooked in agate ware, the Neid-
ringhaus' ladle gets the first help, with
out word of grace or so much as "by
your leave"
1t is not new scheme of the tariff
barons to have two scales of prices, one
for the markets Of the world, where they
must meet honest competition or get out
of business, and another for the helpless
home market, which is utterly at their
mercy. But it will be news to many a
consumer, nevertheless, that Niedring-
haus sits beside him at every meal, and
that there is no pot, however watched,
that Niedringhaus is not Gin it.''

Or last Friday Mrs. Sarah Childress
Polk, widow of ames X. Polk the tenth
President of the United States, died at
her home in Nashville, Tenn, in the
SSth year of her age. She was married
to Mr.. Polk when in her teens, and the
following year her husband was elected
to Congress, where he served II sessions.
During these years Mrs. Polk won gen
eral favor by her courteous manners and
many accomplishments. When mistress
of the White House she held weekly re-
ceptions and abolished the custom of
giving refreshments, and also forbade
dancing, but incurred no loss of popu-
larify thereby. Mrs. Polk had been a
member of the Presbyterian church
since 1884.

A Lovers Rash Deed.

LONDON, Aug. ia mysterious
affair occurred on the early morning train
to Woolwich to-day. Charles Lacy, a
soldier of the garrison there, and his
sweetheart we're among the passengers,
and were observed by the others travel
ing with them as being especially gay.
The reason was found to be that the pair
were to be married to-day and were car
rying n wedding cake for the occasion
with them.
Suddenly, without word of warning,
Lacy pulled out Il revolver and shot the
girl beside him. He then turned the
weapon upon himself and shot himself
in the mouth. The Mortified passengers
in the compartment succeeded in having
the train stopped almost Immediately,
but Lacy was dead and beyond aid.

The new ruling of the postoffice de-
partment in regard to the delivery of
pension letters is of interest. 1t is very
explicit and directs that the letter addrss-
ed to pensioner must not be delivered
to any person in whose care they may be
addressed, and under no circumstances
must the letters of pensioners sent from
the pension office or from any United
States pension agency, be delivered to
any attorney, claim agent, broker or any
other person. This is done to avoid, if
possible, the preparation of fraud.

in the pension department.

JUDGE PATTERSON, in court at Lancas-
ter last week, announced that he would
have consultation with Judge Living
ston in reference to the new election law,
so tina arrangements would be made to
carry its provisions into effect. Inciden-
tally he said that before the legislature
was in session week he came TO the
conclusion that remembers were a pack
of fools, and by the time of adjournment
he saw no reason to change his mind.
Governor Pattison very wisely vetoed
several IF these bills, and he would have
done much better had he vetoed every
one they passed

No Medicine for q Sick Child.

TAUNTON, Mass, Aug.-Mrs. J. F
Montgomery, one of the best known
ladies in the city, of wealthy family
and prominent in temperance circles in
all movements for the amelioration of
human woes, has a year-old daughter
suffering with dysentery and other troub-
les, whom the faith curists have been
treating for some time.
The girl has been grad ually sinking,
and the pastor and many friends of the
family have expostulated in vain with
Mrs. Montgomery. whose only regret
seems to be that she at one time disturb
ed ''the treatment by giving the child
some blackberry cordial. The pastor,
Rev. III. b. Cady, says it is a case for the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children.
