Mrs.McWilliams Wants S25, 900 From the
Pennsy People,

Pennsy People.
Ella Y. McWilliams entered suit yester-
day against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company for. $4,000 damages. On April
3d. 1891, her husband was killed by train
of the company while he was at the station
at Wilmerding. He had purchased a ticket
to ride on a passenger train, and while
awaiting the arrival Of the train he was
struck and killed. His name was Thomas
McWilliams. The suit for damages is based
upon this occurrence.
William Reardon, as attorney for Jenny
Hubbard, entered suit yesterday against
william Robinson for breach of promise,
asking S., 900 damages. The statement re-
lates that Miss Hubbard and Robinson had
for year past been engaged to be married;
that this engagement was understood until

II
Silence is duty and DOOM"
After the catastrophe Conkling rarely
spoke about it, or if he did with an express
sion Of pain. 1t was not anger alone. No

no stranger to this memorable man.
might write of him as it was written of the
prophet: "Doest thou we'll to be angry?'
said the Lord. And the prophet answered:
II do well to be angry, even unto death"
THE SENTIMENT OF INJUSTICE.
1t was not anger, but the sense of ire
trievable injustice, from which ConkIing
suffered. L have often thought, recalling
my observations at the time and the effect
of the catastrophe upon Conkling, that the
Garfield episode led to that state of mental
excitement, or exaltation, so noticeable in
later years, and which predisposed his con-
stitution to the fatal effect of disease when
it smote him. 1 was good deal in the con-
fdence of Conkling at the time. He had
my sympathy in the causes of his alienation
from the Garfield administration, however
much may have differed from the manner
in which he expressed it.
Historical Justice, however, compels the
observation that Conkling had little claim
upon the courtesy of Garfield. He rarely
took the trouble to repress his aversion to
the new President In the atmosphere Of
tale-bearing and Misrepresentation which
' enfolds the politicians life, L can well be-
lieve that many a distorted rumor was
borne to Garfeld's ear, that many an idle
sarcasm-from one whose gifts in the way Of
sarcasm were exhaustless and who was
prone to their use-was given wing. 1t
was an evidence of the extreme amiability

DELAYED BY AFIGURE
The Important Part Played by a
Cipher in a Legal Proceeding.
M'KEE'S ROCKS NOT YETA BOROUGH
A Mixed Verdict Rendered in the Clarks-
Wyatt Accessory Case.
YESTERDAY IN THE COUNTS COURTS

A cipher instead Of a figure ''1'' knocked
out the McKee's Rocks borough project
yesterday, or rather set it back until anoth-
er term of court Attorney Frank Thomp-
son, in copying last years adver tisement
of notice of petition for the formation of a
borough, either inadvertently followed
copy" or the printer make a mistake and
set up September %, 1890, instead of 1891.
The idea was to present the petition to
the court on which reference to the grand
jury would be mandatory, and though
ordinarily the mistake would be of small
consequence, John s. .Robb, Sr., thought it
best in the face of so determined opposition
to begin proceedings without the necessity
of explanation or erasure, so no fight was
made against the opposition yesterday.
To this Attorneys George Davis and Frank
Thompson gave adhesion.
The latter, as before, were represented by
A. H. Clarke, who came prepared to pre-
sent the case in full, but when his eyes
caught the mistake in date he concentrated
his energy on that feature Mr.. Clarke
represented that 80 per cent of the property
in the interests was opposed to the borough
project, but the defense contend that their
opposition Is of little or no effect, as they
are generally non-residents
AN ADVANTAGE GRAsPED.
MI. Clark, evidently feeling that his repre-
sentation would not greatly strengthen the
case, eagerly seized on the mistake in date.
He began by showing that the proposed
line was as crooked as Chaftiers creek at
Bridgeville, and that the zig-zags in it were
made for the purpose of estopping certain
parties who were opposing the project. He
also spoke of an insinuation being thrown
out by the petitioners that they wanted the
matter brought now while Judge was on
the bench who was favorable to the project.
To this Mr.. Robb replied: 'Tut-tut."
Judge Ewing fastened to explain that
he did not expect to be sitting in the
Quarter Sessions when the matter came up,
and that he hoped for an extended vacation
in the criminal line. He went on to say
that he thought if any place in the coun-
try needed borough government, police pro-
lection, etc., it was McKee's Rocks.
AN ADMITTED MISTAKE.
He also opined that a mistake had been
made in allowing Esplen to become a bor-
ough without taking in with it McKee's
Rocks.
A. Y. Smith came in to oppose the bor-
ough project on behalf of the Pittsburg
and Lake Erie Railroad Company. Judge
Ewing was at first inclined to think the
railway company should be modest, but
when Informed that 1t represented property
interest he admitted its right to protest.
The matter will accordingly go over to
the next grand, jury, but meantime, the peo-
pie of the Rocks should not be SO much dis
couraged as to neglect to set a street sprink-
Ter at work. Since the streets have been
covered with furnace Stag the great aggre-
county, and as it has a large wagon traffic,
the annoyance has become almost -insupport-
able. -

That Is Why Young English Clerk Put
an End to His Life.
rBr CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.J
LONDON, Sept. 26.-A quiet little tragedy
was enacted in London this week, and a
young woman is entirely unaware that she
has played principal part in It. Many
Americans will remember Joseph Barber,
the cashier in Lows Exchange until a year
ago, rather good looking Englishman
about 26 years of age. He committed sui
eide this week ''all for love of lady," and
the lady, who has probably never heard of
his infatuation, is none other than Beatrice
Cameron. When Miss Cameron was in
London last year Barber, with whom she
was compelled to transact business at Lows
Exchange, fell violently In love with her.
He never annoyed her by a7owing his pas
sion.
He gradually became distracted and
dreamy. The other clerks in the Exchange
began to be afraid of him and the result was
that Low was obliged to discharge him.
After thus leaving Lows employ he began
to write letters to him marked personal
and private" I" in all of which he continued
to protest his undying love for Miss Cam
eron. These letters gradually grew more
and more passionate, incoherent and maud
lin, until Low was startled to learn of his
ex-employe's suicide last Wednesday.

A VERY ANCIENT MURDER.
Story Told by an Old Woman When She
Was About to Die.

TARENTUM, Sept. 26.-[SpeciaL l-Twen-
ty-three years ago John Mawhinny disap

He lived in Allegheny township, West.
moreland county, and had been working at
Schenley, Armstrong county, just across
the river A thorough search had been
made for him, but without success. His
wife mourDed him as dead and all these
years remained widow, and is still living
at the old home. A few days ago an old
lady by the name of Stumpf thought that
she was about to die, and calling her friends
about her, she related to them the following
story:
cat the time of the disappearance of
John Mawhinny kept boarding house at
Schenley. One evening two men, who are
still living in Armstrong county, attacked
Mawhinny outside my door, dragged him
inside and then murdered him. The body
was then dropped into well on the place |"
The authorities of Armstrong county
and friends of the missing man are greatly
agitated over the old lady's story, and prep
arations are being made to have the well
cleaned out. The story is credited by the
friends of the old lady.

Lucknow Hold Their Yearly BANQUET
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, Sept. 26.-Thirty-four bald or
Trav-haired warriors, living witnesses of
what British soldiers were able to do under
the old system of long service, dined to-
gether at the Hotel Metropole last night.
They were the surviving officers of the be-
sieged British garrison of lucknow and of
the British army which raised the memoir
able siege, and they had assembled at the
festive board to celebrate the thirty-fourth
anniversary of 1.-The Relief of Lucknow"
The battered, wooden-legged veteran,
General Sir William 0lpherts, was in the
chair, and the company included six men
who wore the Victoria Cross, England's
proudest military decoration, given only for
distinguished valor on the battlefield. The
gathering Is an annual one, and as all the
Lucknow officers are now old men, death
plays sad havoc yearly with the number of
the guests, but banquet will take place
each succeeding 25th of September so long
as there shall be one man left alive to raise
hls glass and drink, as was done last night,
IN solemn silence, ''to the memory of those
who fell at Lucknow and of those who have
since passed away"
