A Fatal Leap in the Dark.

JEANETTE, Pa, April ia tragic affair
occurred last night soon after the fast line on
the Pennsylvania railroad swept past here
on its way east. There was on board Con-
stable r. Mcdonald of West Newton, who
had in charge a man named Sandy Wilson,
who had been missing from Greensburg for
some time and was badly wanted there on
! several charges of assault and battery pre-
1 ferred by bis wife. The constable had taken
the handouts of Wilson, who said he want
ed 10 smoke. Just as the train passed this
point Officer Mcdonald says Wilson rose in
his seat and dealt him = terrible blow and
then rushed for the door. The plucky Con-
stable hastily gathered himself up and fol-
lowed Wilson, who by this time was poised
on the lower step ofthe car and appeared
as if he were going to jump. The train was
running very fast and the officer called to
Wilson to stop. He paid no attention what
ever to the officer, buf leaped into the dark
The officer also jumped headlong from the
train after his prisoner What followed is
told by the officer as Wilson probably never
knew when he touch the ground. Mcdonald
says when he leaped from the train be did
not see the freight coming down the west
bound track, which struck him and knock
ed him insensible before be could even catch
a glimpse of the ill-fated man who had pre-
ceded him in his mad leap. The prisoner
must have jumped directly on the track in
front Of the engine, and after turning over a
I couple times was ground under the wheels,
meeting instant death. The passengers who
saw the whole affair say il was over in a
moment, and when the Fast Line was finally
! stopped and backed up the officer was pick
I ed up and conveyed to Greensbnrg. The
4 prisoner was dead and was handed over to
an undertaken for burial Constable Nc
Donald, instead of falling under the wheels
Of the train rushing in an opposite direction,
probably owes his life TO the blow which
Wilson dealt him, and prevented him from
following as closely as he intended. Nc
Donald struck the sides Of the freight train
and was knocked to one side, while Wilson
fell directly under the freight engine. The
brave constable was taken to Greensburg on
the same train, where he was carried OF an
ambulance to hotel, attended by two doc
tors. To-day he told very clear story Of
the affair, and tonight is reported as being
on the way to recovery. he is badly bruis-
ed il addition to navinga collar-bone broken,
but it is not thought be has sustained furth-
er internal injuries. as was believed last
night.

Ir the latest news from the Connells-
vile coke region is TO be relied upon,
Governor Pattison made grave error in
SO hastily Withdrawing the troops 1t
was Represented TO the Governor that
order would be maintained without
them. and their presence was source OF
irritation TO the strikers, and we presume
this was the moving cause for their with
drawal. It should be remembered, how
ever. that mobs are not restrained by
promises, and that no one can speak
authoritatively for unlawful and unruly
assemblages. The foreign element
among the cokers is largely responsible
for the late riotous proceedings, and this
element comes from countries controlled
principally by the bayonet, and has but
little regard for civil law that is not
backed and enforced by military power.
OF course, the State authorities are 10th
to incur the expense of keeping troops
in the field, and also to thus tacitly ad-
nit that the civil powers are not capable
of enforcing the law, but they viii find
themselves severely and justly criticised
if more bloodshed follows the hasty
withdrawal Of the military from the dis
turbed region. The law must be en-
forced, property and life must be pro-
tected, and the right Of men to work for
such wages a. they contract for must be
maintained, at any and every risk OF
expense. If law and order cannot be
enforced. then chaos has come again.

The President in peril.

ATLANTA, Ga, April l5.-An accident oc-
ourred at the time of the Presidents arrival
in this city that might have resulted in IN
iury 10 the President and Mrs. Harrison had
il bappened few minutes sooner 1t result
ed from the military salute fired in honor OF
the President The cannon used for this
service was mounted on flat-car at a sid
ing near the track over which the Presiden-
tial car ran. In order to give emphasis to
their work, the soldiers having charge OF
the cannon, discharged it just as the Presi-
dents train was passing on an adjoining
track. The conclusion was tremendous,
and shattered three thick plate glass win
dow panes in the dining car, Coronado, i'm
mediately next the seats assigned TO the
special use Of the President and Mrs Har'
nson. Luckily these seats were unoccupies
at the time. A colored waiter, who wa
standing in the aisle Of the car, was thrown
down by the explosion. he was, however
more frightened than hurt. The Presiden
tial party was at the other end of the trail
at the time, and knew nothing Of the acci
dent until informed Of it afterward.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com
pany has recently placed in service on its
fast trains between New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, three new en-
gines which are doubtless the finest and fast
est ever built in this country. These new
flyers have driving wheels six feet, six inc h.
es high and cylinders 70 inches by "a. The
large cylinders give them tremendous pow
er and the high drivers protect the machine
cry from the rack and strain incident to
driving smaller engines at great speed.
There is practically no limit to the speed to
which these new marvels may be driven
and they skim over the rails as smoothly as
swallow over lake.
Another recent addition TO the motive
power of the company is consignment of
eight powerful ten wheel passenger engines,
designed for service on the mountain divis-
ions. These are the heaviest ten wheel en-
eines ever constructed, weighing sixty seven
and one-half tons. They have driving
wheels six feet two inches high and cylin-
ders 81 inches by 36. One of these machines
performs the work heretofore requiring two
of the ordinary class aud they take the
heavy through express trains up the noun
tain grades quickly and with perfect ease.
The Mt Clare shops of the company have
recently completed an order for ten switch
engines of the highest type, and sufficiently
powerful to make up a train equal TO the
full drawing power of consolidation
! freight engine. Also three new heavy eight
wheel passenger engines, having driving
wheels five feet eight inches, and cylinders
twenty inches by twenty four. These en-
gines are now doing excellent work they
are very powerful and susceptible of great
speed.
In addition to the foregoing the Company
has now under construction at its Mt Clare
Shops ten powerful ten wheel engines de
signed for fast freight service and for heavy
passenger trains on occasion, also twelve
consolidation freight engines Of great power.
These additions to its motive power are in
line with the other great Improvements con-
stantly being made in the general better
ment Of the B. & 0. property by its present
management, which have been noted by
the press from time to time and the rapid
augmentation of the passenger traffic of the
Company indicates that the public is quick
to recognize the present and constantly in-
creasing efficiency of its train inservice.

The friendly and cordial greeting
given the President by the Southern
people has set the Democratic press Of
the North TO snarling and growing like
so many angry curs. These editors who,
as general rule, devote much of their
time TO denouncing Republicans for
keeping open the breach between the
North and South, are now terribly
scared for fear amicable sentiments and
good viii may spring up between the
sections as a result Of the Presidential
four.

THE clean and con servatiye admins
trStion Of President Harrison has won
the esteem and admiration Of the entire
country, as is evidenced by the outburst
OF popular enthusiasm which is greeting
him as he journeys through the South.
oar Democratic brethren are amazed
and annoyed at its manifestation, and
Republicans are eorrespon6ingly graft

speaker, with the happy knack OF touch
ing the popular chord in his brief ad-
dresses, and we doubt not that his face
to-iace and hand-to-hand intercourse
with the masses will DO much TO dispel
sectional animosities, mainly kept alive

Fou Children in One Crave.

READING, Pa. April lS.-An unusual fI-
neral was witnessed at Ben Church, near
Leesport, Berks county, this morning, when
the remains of four children of Adam Stout,
a well-known citizen of Marsh, Chester
county, were inferred in one grave in the
cemetery adjoining the church. The little
ones ranged in age from two to seven years
and died within forty eight hours, of the
measles and grip. Owing to the contagious
character of the disease the railroads pre-
ferred not TO furnish transportation to the
funeral cortege and the family and the
mourners drove distance of twenty-eight
miles. Diptheria, grip and measles, have
carried Off 200 children within a radius of
twenty miles of Reading within a short time.

acceptable to large portion of the party,
and a change is requisite for the good Of
the party organization. In some quar-

A Fatal Cyclone.

LIBEEIAL, Kansas, April 20. = Reports
brought in this afternoon state that the
Court House at Hansford, Texas in course
Of construction and nearly completed, was
destroyed by a cyclone on Wednesday after
noon. A brick mason and another man
were killed, and Huff Wright, citizen of
the little town was injured. Every house
was more or less damaged.
From there the cyclone travelled in a
nOrtheasterly direction TO Paludora, little
town on the Beaver river, in Beaver county,
Oklahoma, which place is reported entirely
destroyed. Both localities are many miles
from railroad and telegraph, and this ac-
counts for the lateness of the reports.
