A FAMOUS CLOCK pEppLER.

Christian Long, whose career as a
clock peddler, evangelist, legislative
lobbyist, and millionaire made him
famous in Pennsylvania, died at his
home, in Shippensburg, as announced
in yesterdays WORLD, aged about
seventy-seven. "He began work in
the Cumberland Valleyas an exhorter.
In this he gained acquaintance with
the farmers in that section, which he
used to excellent purposes when he
travelled over the same district as fd-
der and clock peddler. One Of his
favorite schemes, says the New York
San, was to visit a farmers house in the
evening and entertain the family with
his fiddle, and before leaving trade
one of his clocks for Cumberland Val
ley Railroad stocks when that compa-
ny was verging on bankruptcy. He
obtained many shares in this way at %
cents a share. When he decided TO
stop peddling clocks his power was so
great that he dictated to the board of
directors and president of the railroad.
His holdings in Cumberland Valley
stock now are worth a quarter of a
million dollars, and his entire wealth is
estimated at $5,000,000. As a LOBBYIST
at Harrisburg Long played promi-
nent part and was a successful worker.
Mr.. Long loved wealth only for the
power it gave him. He lived in a di-
lapidated house and ate only molasses
and bread nearly all the years of his
life. When the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company began to reach out for ALI
ances with other roads, such as the
Cumberland Valley and the Northern
Central, Long came into prominence.
He made the bargain for nearly the
entire right of way along the Phila-
delphia and Erie Railroad, scheme
which for a long time came neal
swapping the Pennsylvania. He did
much to kill the South Penn Railroad
in the interest of the Pennsylvania
and he took prominent part in the
contest that elected Austin Corbin
president of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad. "-Hagerstopn Globe

SUDDEN DEATH,

Mr.. Jonathan w. Thatcher died very
suddenly Sunday about noon, while at
tending the funeral of Miss Sperow, at
the residence of her father on Tusca-
rora. Mr.. Thatcher was feeling slight
ly oppressed, and had gone out onto
the porch to get the fresh air, when he
was called in to lead in the singing of
hymn. When Rev. Engles, of the
Presbyterian Church, had finished
reading the hymn it was noticed that
Mr.. Thatcher had become ILL., He was
carried into another room and laid on
a bed, but in the meantime he had
breathed his last.
Mr.. Thatcher was one Of the Oldest
and most respected citizens of Berke-
ley county, and was well-known
throughout both town and county. He
was the father of large plumber of
children, all of whom are grown.
The funeral services were held in
Tuscarora Church Wednesday morn
ing. The relatives and friends met
at his late residence at 10 o'clock a. m.

AoohiiifS NOuISSs
On Sunday morning last about four
o'clock news reached this city of bad
smash-up ON the B. q O. r. r. near
Engles Switch, East of this place.
Train pulled by engine No. $50 stopped
on the main track to draw fire, on ac-
count of the water giving out A sec
ond train drawn by engine No. oil
was stopped Immediately behind it.
A third train drawn by engines Nos
270 and 271 broke apart some dis
lance behind the two, and the brake
men unable to hold it, caused the en-
CINE men to lose all control of the en-
gines, and they crushed into the rear
end of the second train, drawn by en-
CINE No. oil. Both engines were
thrown from the track, and with a
number of cars were considerably de-
molished
A second later the rear end of the
third train that had broken loose
came down with a crash, running into
the already wrecked pile, and demol-
ished twelve or fifteen cars. James
Dunn, fireman, had his leg broken and
head badly cut David Drenner, engi-
neer, had his head severely cut Geo.
Joy, brakeman, had his ankle sprained
and face cut. 1t is reported that sew
eral others were injured but as yet
not definite as to who they were. The
extent of the damage has not as yet
been estimated, but it is said to be con.
siderable.
After the wreck occurred the B. 80
run East bound trains over the N. &
w. to Hagerstown and from there to
the junction below Harper's Ferry.

The breach between the two factions
of the Irish parliamentary party still
continues. The Panellites now charge
that an agreement exists by which the
McCarthyite leaders have been assur
ed of comfortable Offices when Home
Rule shall have been declared, if it be
brought about through their aid; and
they even go so far as to assert that
Mr.. Timothy Healy has in his posses
sion written guarantee Of the Irish
Lord CHARACTERISTIC, with an Irish
peerage under the title of Viscount
Healy, in case the McCarthyites shall
be the winning faction on the Liberals
coming into power. If there should

According to the report of the Inter
national Commerce Commission there
were 1884 persons killed on the railroads
in 1891. OF these, 2451 were employees,
2S6 were passengers and 1897 covered
the slaughter at grade crossings, sui
cides and other varieties of killing in
cident to the running of cars. The
total number of persons injured was
29,025, of whom 22,394 were employ
es, 2,423 were passengers, and 1906
were unclassified.
This record is amazing. 1t is shame
full. 1t is horrible. 1t is impossible to
account for it on any theory of una
voidable causes beyond the remedy OF
human foresight. The total number
of killed and manned is larger than
the entire standing army of the United
States. If we should unfortunately
be obliged to go to war with Chile the
casualties, in condition where kill
ing and wounding are the objects aim
ed at, would hardly be more sanguin
airy. Whatever power the Govern
ment may have to compel the use OF
safeguards and appliances for the
protection of passengers, employees anc
wayfarers who come near the railroad
tracks, should be promptly exerted.

HE SHOT AN EDITOR.

The Assassin OF Newspaper Man at
Large.
Three weeks ago the press dispatches
told briefly the story of deliberate as
sassination in the little town of Somer-
set, KY. when Joseph B. Rucker, editor
of the Reporter, weekly published in
that town, was killed by shot in the
dark.
The murder was done about O'Clock
on the night of September 10th. Editor
Rucker had been detained at his Office,
and was on his way home. From the
shadow of livery stable the assassin
feet. The wounded man was carried 10
his house. where he died at midnight.
Rucker was as fearless as he was hon.
est, and severely criticised certain local
officials, prominent among whom was
John @. Anderson, chief of police. He
had retOrtei in personal abuse, and was
known to be bitter foe of the editor.
Anderson's hat was found near the
scene of the shooting, and tracks were
observed in the direction of the railroad
track. Anderson, it was afterward
learned, went to his saloon little after
8 O'Clock that night and emptied the
cash drawer of several hundred dollars.
1t is believed that he took an outgoing
train that night.
The citizens, with whom Rucker was
popular, raised fund and employed de-
tectives. Photographs and descriptions
of Anderson have been sent all over the
country, coupled with the offer of $500
reward for his arrest. Anderson's de-
scription is as follows: Age, 80; height,
6 feet 2 inches; weight, 207 pounds. He
has coal black hair and mustache and
may wear black beard. He hasa pc
culiar swinging walk, with fist-footed
step.
Editor Rucker was an ex-Confederate
soldier, 80 years of age. He had lived
in Somerset and edited the Register for
15 years. He left widow and three
children. His son, whose home is in
San Francisco, started for Somerset as
soon as he learned of the tragedy.

it's being an old chestnut. Two Irish
men, whom we will call Pat and Mike,
arrived at Castle garden out of funds.
They wandered up the Bowery
in search OF job. Finally. they
eaw in an undertaker's window
q card offering dollar to every
man who would walk in the procession.
1t seemed landlord had died, who had
made many unpopular evictions in life,
and it was feared his funeral would be
slimly attended. So Pat and Mike were
promptly put in the procession, and
were cautioned to pull down their hats
over their eyes and pretend to mourn,
though they felt it not. They did as
commanded, and trudged on for many
weary block. Pat began to grow weary,
and turning to Mike he said: "Moike,
what de you sol, Moike, let's look up"
"Be aisy, now, Pat" was Mikes reply
"be after earnin' your dollar" And so
the march continued, until this time
Mike broke out with: Pat, shmell
something awful bad; let's look up"
They did SO, and found they bad wan
dered away from the procession, and
were following swill cart.
And I say to all you young men who
will cast your first ballot at this cleo
tion; and to all you Republicans who
justly glory in the past achievements of
your party, and fondly imagine you are
still following the procession of patriots
who marched from Atlanta to the sea !;
and to all you Democrats, who still
glory in the record of your party under
Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland,
to the Independent thinking men of
all parties: Haiti "Look up and in
quire whether you have not wandered
away from the ancient land marks. and
are now following ring, machine or
some political swill cart"
