trio novelty in store for the Colum bian
exposition, he said well, | have a
thing in view, but the details are some
hazy. My intention is to have such a
happy combination of photography and
electricity that man can sit in his own
parlor and see depicted upon curtain,
the forms of the players in opera upon a
distant stage and to hear the voices of
the singers When the system is per
fected, which will be in time for the
fair. each little MUSCLE of the singer s
face will be seen to work, every color of
his or her attire will be exactly reproduc-
ed, and the stride and positions will be
as natural as those of the live characters.
To the sporting fraternity / Will
state that ere long this system can be
applied TO prize fighting. The whole
scene, with the noise of the blows. talk,
etc, will be truthfully transferred. Ar
rangements can be made to send views

4 Ride Ia Death.

GoUNptRaf0RT, Pa. May II.-u
might pretty little Lumber towns of Aus
TN, Costello, GslefoA and Moorc's Bun,
IN Potter county. are on the verge Of r
panic, Two especially being tbrestaned
with annihlAron from fires that seem
70 form an impenetrabie wall on every
side. At Moore's Run, on the AnDeIn-
ahoning road, a train losd Of seventy
five willing meu sent out from Austin
Sunday night had been fighting back
the FIRE by every conceivable means.
They made trenches, piled earth and
lighted back fires, but were finally
Obliged 10 retreat. The men hastily
boarded the train and started 10 make a
run to another point, when it was found
they were hemmed in by fire on one side
and a huge skidway of flaming logs on
the other. 1t WAS finally decided to
dash past the burning skidway and the
, engineer and fireman, with faces covered
with dampened cloths and their hands
and arms wrapped in wool, mounted the
little engine and pulled out through the
wall of fire.
The seventy-five men gathered in
groups on the fats for protection or lay
on their faces on the floors. Just op-
left the track, the rails having spread,
ami toppled over into the fire. The un-
injured bravely turned their burned and
blackened hands TO the aid of their more
unfortunate fellows. At this hour il is
impossible to secure the details, though
enough is known of the scene which fol-
lowed TO say that its like has never oc-
cured before. superintendent Badger,
of the Sinnemahoning Valley road, was
in charge of the train. When the train
was ditched and rolled over so suddenly
he must have been injured SO as TO be
unable to help himself, snd, owing TO the
smoke and panic, he was not found un-
I'll too late-jammed in the wreck He
had been evidently slowly burned to
death.
At this time $50 p. mt is known
that six others also miserably perished AT
once or died soon after and thirty others
of the party were badly burned, many
probable fatally, owing to the fact that
they inhaled the flames. Seven others
of the party are missing and their fate
Is unknown. Owing to the great devas-
t;itlon done to everything1n the WAY of
the fire, communications are badly in
terrupted and 1t is impossible TO learn
the names of the men burned or those
still missing.
As to the damage, it is known that
40, 600, 600 feet of hemlock logs and
timber and %, 600 cords of valuable
bark have already been destroyed, and
the fires are raging without any apparent
dimunition. This evening people are
praying for rain, as II seems nothing but
a drenching rain will quench the flames
that have grown go fierce.

Ran OF with a Blind Girl.

CoCHEcToS, y. Y, May I'm. S.
Tyler, leading business man of Damas-
Gus, Pa, across the Delaware River from
this place, had lived happily with his
wife and family many years. Several
days ago he disappeared, and about the
same time young blind girl, daugh-
ter Of the most CONSPICUOUS family in
this part Of the Delaware Valley, was
missed. a brother of the girl traced
her to New York and back to Middleton,
Orange county, where he found her liv-
ing with Tyler. All his efforts to induce
her to return home were Of no avail.
The girl recently came OF age and secur-
ed $1,000, bequest from her father,
who died few years ago. No intimacy
was ever known or suspected between
her and Tyler. The families lived close
neighbors. The girl WAS always modest
and retiring in disposition. She is said
to have turned her money and property
over TO Tyler.

Must Die b. Electricity.

WAsHISGToS, May 1.-THE United
States Supreme Court to-day disposed, it
hopes finally, so far as it is concerned,
of the cases of four of the murders under
sentence Of death in New York State by
means OF electricity, viz: Shibuya Jugiro,
Joseph Wood, Harris A. Smiler and
James J, Slocum.
The court. In two opinions by Justice
Harlan intimates quite plainly that
there has been too free a use made of
the writ of habeas corpus by the New
York Circuit Court, and states that where
there Is no conflict between the State law
and the Federal Jurisprudence, the high
est State tribunal should determine the
points raised, and any appeal should be
direct from the State court to the United
States Supreme Court by writ or error.
The court, In all of the cases, refuses to
interfere, on the ground that there is
nothing IN the question raised to vitiate
the proceedings in the lower courts.

An kxciiiBg Scene.

COLORADO, SPRINGS, Col, Msy 12-
There WAS an exciting scene at the re-
ception given to President Harrison last
night, AT the Antlers hotel, this CITY.
The President had just finished his speech
from the balconey of the hotel. and was
followed by the postmaster general, who
was not allowed 10 finish his address,
however, for the reason that while the
crowd was applauding his remarks, a
portion Of the porch below, which Was
thronged with people pressing their way
into the paT!ors where the President and
Mrs Harrison were receiving, gave way
with q crash under their combined
weight and precipitated about thirty men
and women into the area below, a dis
tance of eight feet. \ scene of great
confusion ensued and the cries for help
were heartrending. However, all were
soon rescued and no one was found 10 be
dangerously injured.
The President and party spent the
night on their train, with the intention
of making an early start this morning
for Denver.

Tar appeal 81 the Pennsy ivania Bal
Pennsylvania, says the Harrisburg Pa
triot, is based upon \ correct view of the
situation. The best efforts of some Of the
shrewdest mSmbers of the Senate are
being bent TO defeat the Baker bill.
The influence of some of the ablest Re
publican members of the House has
been thrown into the scales against the
measure.
The bill in ite present shape, as the
Association asserts, would be more than
useless, if it were capable of being car
ried into effect.
BY the amendments made by the
Senate Committee, independent nom
nations and nominations by parties
Just forming cannot practically be made;
the form Of the ballot unfairly faSors the
majority party and would discriminate
against independent candidates if any
such could be nominated; secret voting
is destroyed not only for illerates but for
every man who is willing to say that he
is illiterate or disabled; the number of
voting compartments is trebling the ex-
pense of fitting up the rooms and neces-
stating much larger rooms, so that it
would be impossible to apply the law in
many parts of the State except at enor-
nous expense for hundreds of Temporal
~ voting rooms.
The Association is justified in declar-
ing that the object of these changes is
to kill the bill. 1t is to be hoped that
public sentiment will so stir the Senate
that the bill will be restored to its for
mer shape and passed.

The Philadelphia Tim,e says: The
amendments to Baker ballot bill made
by the senate committee have eliminat-
ed every vestige of practical ballot re-
form from the measure Had the most
cunning, subtle and desperate of ballot
thieves been summoned TO the task of
revising the bill it could not have been
made greater mockery of ballot re-
form
This action of the senate committee Is
simply atrocious. 1t is most fragrant
insult to every honest voter of the COM
monwealth. The bosses and ballot
thieves want one more whack at ballot
pollution and they postpone the law for
more than one year and half. If bal
lot reform is right for 1892 why is it not
right now? The people want it now:
they have unmistakably demanded it;
they have been positively promised by all
parties, and they will grind to powder the
men and the party that mock them with
such minstrous lie about ballot re-
form.

y DISPATCH from Berlin, verified bv
later reports, says sn attempt has been
made on the life Of the Czarevitch al
Kioto (now officially called Saiko,) OF
"Western Capital" the former Capt. al
of Japan, on the Island Of Hondo,
twenty-seven miles by rail northeast OF
Osaka and about $50 miles southwest of
Toxic. Another story is that the at
tack was made at Otsu, place upon
Lake Biwi, about twelve miles from XII
oto. The best obtainable information
Is that the assault WAS made by Jap
anese fanatic armed with a sharp sword.
and that the injuries were slight. The
Czarevitch has been travelling in India
and China for sometime past.

The high tariff organs have been
using guns that will be turned against
them when they point to one of the
blessings Of the Mckinley bill, by de
scanting on the blessings of free sugar.
To these statements the Kansas City
Star replies: The protection organs are
praising the Mckinley bill for wiping
out the tariff on sugar and saving the
consumers Of the country SOC, 900, 900 a
year. If free sugar is a good thing
what's the matter with free blankets,
free carpets, free gloves, free cIoaks, etc?
Every word OF commendation which the
high tariff papers bestow upon free
sugar is slap at protection.

The escape of the Itata, the vessel of
| the Chilian insurgents, laden with arms,
munitions and other contrabands of
war, from the United States authorities
at San Diego California has caused 4
good deal of scunying about at the State
and Navy Departments. The Itata,
having entered port of the United
States, fell under suspicion of being
there to secure supplies, arms and am
munition, and the Chilian Minister at
Washington asked for her detention
Accordingly United States Marshal
was put on board and her captain was
arrested. The captain was allowed to
return to his ship and ne at once went to
sea. The Itata, i, therefore, now at sea
in defiance of the authorities of both
Chill and the United States. She has
no clearance papers and is practically an
outlaw. Amy nation can capture her.
If She made any resistance she would
be pirate. II she entered port of the
United States or Chill demanded her sur
surrender from the government of the
country to which the port belonged, that
government would surrender her. As
the Itata has been seized by the United
States at San Diego she was technically
United States property until discharged,

living during the past fourteen months.
according to tables carefully prepared by
the New York Erenipg Post, is about I5

proving to workingmen that the highest
tariff we ever had is the best we ever
