hours of y and o'clock. The little
fellow was employed as a slate picker
at the No. 4 breaker and when return

jumped on q train of coal cars which
was then passing up the track. After
he got on the cars he went TO walk be

ped falling to the track, where hi.
dead body was picked up after the ear
, had passed His body was not badl,
maugled, but his bones were mostly al
: broken and from the appearance of thI
body it is evident some of the car
passed over it. No one saw him fall
but one Of the brakemen saw him ge
on the cars and next saw him betweei

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1892,
WEST PENN.

On Friday of last week various
troubles took place in school No 10,
this township, and as result the
school mistress was compelled to noti-
fly nearby director, who attended at
once, and after some difficulty, sue
ceeded in getting things in good shape
again.
Hunting on Sunday is being in.
dulged in to considerable extent
through this section. The law should
be enforced against all persons found
violating the it. The penalty for vio-
lating the law is heavy, and the only
way of putting a stop to the evil prac-
tice is for some good citizen to make
an example of one or more of these
desecrators of the Sabbath.
One day recently while Miss Clara
Snyder and sister Este, of Snyders-
vile, we're returning home from Sitler's
store, Lizard Valley, their horse took
freight, running against stump and
upset the buggy, throwing out both
occupants. Fortunately neither we're
dangerously injured.
e. f. German recently butchered a
pair of porkers of his own fattening
which jointly made the scale squeak to
the tune of S75 pounds. For so early a
butchering this was doing pretty well.
There were stacks of of sausage, pom.
derous hams, and 81 cans of lard, each
weighing 60 pounds. These we're, as
Mr.. F. Hill, his butcher, claimed the
largest hogs killed in this place so far
this season, and while not of extraordi.
nary heft, were fine samples. It isn't
so much the fashion as formerly to
stuff hogs with corn for producing fat
owing to the fact thar lard has not been
bringing paying return for the cost
of production, and hence but few peo.
pie care to raise big porkers nowadays
One of the smallest infants on re
cord in this section, and probably in
the State, was born at Doresett
Station, this township, on Tuesday oi
last week, December 13. The mother
SivellR Zimmerman, and the infant
weighs but two pounds. The child i.
only 10 inches in length, and can easily
lie in the palm of persons hand. Il
is dressed in small dolls clothing, anC
is carried around on pillow. Tn,
child is fully formed, takes its nourish
ment in a manner which reflects credi
on its appetite, also has a luxurian
head Of hair. IT attracts much atten
tion, and the neighbOrs for mile
around are visiting the house daily t,
get a glimpse of the infant.

0t The Philadelphia aud Reading
Railroad has ordered 30 new pa -euger
coaches to be built ia its shops at
Reading this winter. These caaches
will be of AN especially fine maze, de-
signed for traffic to and from tho

them will be combination cars. m adj

will be painted brown. For several
years the company has had many Of its.
coaches built in Illinois.
tThe Buffalo Express, ON the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, leaving New York at
7.30 2. NJ, is drawn by two big engines
across New Jersey now This is owing
to the train being SO heavy. It is gen
orally made up Of four baggage and eX-
press cars and as many more coaches.
It is scarcely possible to make its fast
schedule time with one engine.

you ride on Lehigh Valley passen-

accommodation of the road has been
brought about by Superintendent
Goodwin, who on Saturday issued
circular TO all passenger train conduc

must stop at once, and any disobedi
ence of the order must be reported to
him.
IA thorough effort will be made by
the Reading Company to introduce
anthracite coal abroad. To do this
Captain John A. Schweers, of Potts
willie, who has been selected to 90 to
Europe as the Readings agent, will
take with him 2OOO tons of coal, all Sc.
curely tied up in sacks to facilitate
handling, He will also take seventeen
stoves of various kinds, so as to illus
trate practically the advantages ofhard

DID HE SUICIDE?
A Sensation in Connection with
the Death of Colonel Caaady.
An Editor of Washington Publishes Card
estioning the Iruthfulness of
Houghton's Statement

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
WASHINGTON, Oct. IA sensation was
brought out yesterday morning in connec-
ton with the suicide Of Colonel William P,
Canady. recently sergeant alarms of the
senate, by the publication of card from
John Q. Thompson, an editor of this city,
in which suspicion is cast upon Captain
Houghton, the partner Of Canady.
Thompson declared that the coroner's in
quiry was not an investigation into the
causes leading to Canady's suicide, and
was not conducted with view to asoer-
tanning if he was murdered. He states
that the inquest was superficial, and that
tue examination of Houghton was not
thorough. 1t will be remembered that
Houghton and Canady had sharp quarrel
q day or two before Canady's death, and
that the former has claimed that the latter
stole 81, 900 Of cash from him the night be-
fore the death, and over one hundred
thousand dollars worth of securities some
time prior to that event. Thompson 0ues-
tions the truthfulnesS Of these claims, and
demands of Houghton to know whencs he
cot the 81, 900 cash, and when and how he
became partner of Colonel Canady. He
also states that on the morning of Cana
dy's suicide Houghton, upon learning of
the death, although claiming to be Cana
dy'si partner, quietly sat down and ate
his breakfast before reporting the affair.
Thompson demands thorough judicial in
vestigation Of the death by regular judi
cial tribunal.
