BLOWN FROM A SLEEPER.
Strange Incident That Happened
on 4 Western Passenger
Train.

All the berths of sleeper cars attach
ed to n Sante Fe route train that
reached Chicago were full when the
car left Los Angeles. One of the sec
tions was taken by Mrs King OF
Chico, Cal, who, with her three chill
dren, was on her way to Germany.
Another berth was occupied by a
gentleman who tells what happened
on the trip. Thursday night, he
says, just before Kansas City was
reached and while the porter was
making the beds, necessitating some
confusion in crowded car, Mrs.
King missed one of her children, a
girl four years old.
The mother went up and down the
ear in search of her little tot, and, not
finding her, increased her pace to a
run. She peered hither and thither
and into every berth, asking the pas
sengers if they had seen anything oil
the little one.
The conductor was prevailed upon
to stop the train and n careful search
was instituted. The child was no
where to be found. The mother was
almost distracted. Her piteo1s cries
resounded through the sleeper, and
she implored the conductor to back"
the train in search OF her lost one.
His sympathies went out to the fran
tic woman.
A half mile further on the train was
sidetracked at a water station. Then
a hand car was manned by the train
men and a run was made down the
track for three miles, where freight
train was met, the engineer of which
said he would have seen child II IT
had heen on or near the track. Think
ing the search useless. owing TO the
darkness of the night, the trainmen
returned to the watering station.
At her own request the conductor
left Mrs. King and her two children
there on the bleak prairie, ia care oil
the man who had charge of the water
tank. Then the train rolled away?
All the passengers were sorrowful,
and many of the women were in tears.
The afflicted mother counted the Sec
onds until the first streak of dawn APP
peared. Then the search was resumed.
When the conductor went through
the train early the next morning,
showing a telegram that the child
had been recovered safe and sound,
big Jumps arose in the throats OF the
men and the women put handker-
chiefs to their eyes. The little tot
was found about four miles down the
track from the watering station.
In the changing in places by the
passengers at the time of making the
beds, the child was blown through the
rear door. The night was warm and
all the doors and windows were open.
The high wind carried her consider
able distance from the track and sat
her down safely in the sand and sage
brush. She was fast asleep when the
searching party found her.-ChfcdQo

FREE COINAGE rue ISSUE FOR 1892.

President Harrison viii veto IL in the In
terest of honest finance and sound bush

will leave the question open to be settled
at the polls in 1899. while the position of
the parties upon it VIII have been Sharply
defined by the action of Congress aud OF

ever difference may exist within the par
ties upon this question, the conditions are
such that one must sust,in and the other
oppose it. They cannot both get upon
the same platform in regard 70 it, and il
therefore seems inevitable that the free
coinage of silver will be the leading issue
in the next campaign, the one upon which
most popular feeling will be excited and
upon which most votes will turn.

Care of the Insane.

An inspection made Of the Insane
Asylum at Snake Hill yesterday by
JERSEY CITY News reporter, a de-
tailed account of which is given else
where, affords positive proof that the
Freeholders are right in insisting that
Hudson county stands in imperative
need OF new asylum for the housing
Of insane patients.
The buildings, as shown by DR..
King, are not only too small for the
use to which they are devoted, but
are peculiarly liable. from their age
and the inflammable material of
which they are composed, to take fire
at any moment and almost from any
cause, There is absolutely no means
of escape for the inmates, in case OF
fire, save to throw open the windows
(which are usually grated and locked,
so that some valuable time must be
lost In opening theIn.) and let the pa
tients take their chances. Perhaps this
is a fault Of the situation, incidental
to tho condition of the inmates, and
can not be remedied; but certainly
the county can, aud should, provide
some thing like adequate means for
extinguishing a fire. There is scarcely
any provision at all for such an emer-
gency. What water there is. is pumped
to tanks on the roof and thence dis
tributed through the buildings. As
the roof is little higher than the
source of supply the pressure is very
light, while the supply itself is i'm
measurably small in comparison with
the need that would be occasioned by
fire.
But perhaps the most notable fact
in the whole business is the failure to
furnish some of the commouest neces-
stiles for the unfortunate inmates OF
the Asylum. 1t appears that Hudson
county cannot provide beds enough
for its insane patients, and that mat
tresses for their accommodation must
nightly be strewn upon the floor in
several wards. There certainly can be
no legitimate excuse for this. and no
such condition of affairs should be
tolerated upon the flimsY plea OF pow
erty. II the county's income is un-
equal to the need, a special tax OF one
mill per capita would provide all the
bedsteads that can possibly be needed
As to the legal status Of the asylum
question, THE NEWS has no opinion
to express while the matter is pend
ing in the courts, save that while the
need for better and enlarged ac-
conmodations is undeniable. there
should be no useless expenditure of
money. While the people of Hudson
are willing to tax themselves for the
care OF the unfortunates, they are not
willing to be imposed upon, and they
naturally expect all officials in any
way connected with so important a
matter to look after every detail with
the same care that he would give to
his own business and expenditures,
and the man who is not prepared to
do this should step down and out.
II not ready to do this of his own
accord he should be assisted.

TELLING Tns Truth.



1t is creditable to Major McKinley's
good sense and candor that in his opening
speech of the Ohio campaign he did not
apply the term Free Traders" to Demo-
Gratis in a single instance but declared
that they were in favor of tariff for re-
venue only. This is substantially correct.

protection. which WAS the only kind ad-
vocated in this country when the Repub-
lican party came upon the stage of action.

WE print in an adjoining column
the editorial of the Newark Ecening
Nesos upon the outrageous course OF
the Newark police towards the young
girls of that city. We are happy to
indorse every word the Netcs says Its
voice is, as usual when politics are not
involved, that of good sense and good
feeling.
But there is one aspect of the mat
ter in which it is particularly and
specially right. When it holds that
the police should assail the dive keep
ers instead of their victims, it attacks
the very root OF the whole evil. But
the Newark police appear to be afraid
OF the rumsters.
