TWENTY CARS Pass OVER HIM.-Old
railroaders here, says dispatch from Lam
caster, Pa. to the Philadelphia Ledger, say
that one of the most remarkable escapes
from desth that can be found in the an
nails of railro aiding was that had early
Monday morning by David E. Hinkle, OF
Columbia, young brakeman of the Penn
sylvenia railroad. When the engine of his
train, an eastbound freight, approached the
water plug on the "cut-off' near Lancaster
sudden jolt threw him off. He fell to the
track, lying lengthwise between the rails,
and twenty cars passed over him. The
brakeriggirg of three cars struck him and
dragged him some distance. When the
train stopped 10 supply the engine with
water Hinkle was found under the cars by
his conductor, who pulled him from the
track. Strangely enough, his only injuries
are a badly bruised back and leg. Rail-
readers say they cannot comprehend how
he escaped death.

The Gillian Affair.

Senior Mont, the Cbiian minister, had

SANTIAGO, Dec. 81, 1891.

prudence, be observed those found guilty
will be punished, and says that these
judicial proceedings are being carried
forward actively. This, in connection with
the statement that the police did theil
duty, is significant as showing that the
Gillian government does not wish that the
action Of Individuals belonging in Chill
shall be COMPOUNDED with the actions Of
those connected with the government and
having official station.
These lawless acts on the part of invid-

quired into under the usual Judicial pro

secretly, and, it is said, with the cumber=
someness attaching to nearly all law courts
deriving their authority and precedents
from Spain. This government has never
asserted right to interfere with the ordi
nary judicial methods of other nations.

A CHILD SMoTHERED BY A Pillow
The village of Scottsville was the scene
Friday of most unfortunate and distress
ing accident. Mrs. Robert Higgingbctham,
of the village, got her little four months'old
child to sleep, laid it in the cradle and put
a pillow by the sido of it to keep the little
one from rolling out. She then put net
over the cradle and went to the store, not
great distance off, and left oolored nurse
in charge of the child; but after Mrs. Hig-
gingbotham had gone, the girl went cut in
the yard and by some means the pillow
rolled down over the little ones face,
smothering it to death. So great wes the
cbild's efforts to free itself that it wiring
ing wet with perspiration. The poor IN
fortunate mother is nearly frantic from

The decision of the Court of Appeals Of
New YORK giving the Democrats control of
both branches Of the Legislatures is one of
the most important victories the Democracy
has ever gained. New York is really a
Democratic State, and frequently elects a
Democratic Governor, while the Legsla-
ture, through Radical gerrymandering, is
largely Republican. Now all this will be
changed. a Democratic Legislature and
Governor will redistrict the State equitably
and more in accordance with the sentiments
of the people, and the consequence will be
that the Democracy will control it for years
to come, and it's thirty sig electoral votes
will almost certainly be cast for the Demo-
cratic presidential candidate next year.

3 Gillian Side.

The "Herald" prints this morning Sc
ries of important Gillian official communi-
cations relating to the unfortunate Valpa-
raise affair.
They are now given to the world for the
first time. They comprise the full text OF
the reply made to our demand by Senior
Malta, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
several reports made by the authorities at
Valparaiso to the government at Santiago
soon after the attack on the sailors of the
Baltimore.
According to these reports the trouble
occurred in the worst quarter of Valparaiso,
a district where tformIng mob in few
seconds is easy" The police were prompt
ly ordered to the scene, and when they ar
rived found crowd thousand strong, and
fighting with knives, sticks and stones
going on. Every effort was made by the
police to quell the disturbance and restore
order. The Intendente of Valparaiso re-
ports that ''the local authorities could not
have done more than they did in reference
to this disagreeable occurrence when we
consider the place where it began, the def.
9e.ha police force for this extensive
cheney "a 1880 he imprudence of
and irregular city amer ensunD9uollnss.
sending ashore at one time hundred and
sixty men of the Baltimore" These state
ments were communicated to Minister
Egan by Senior Malta with the assurance
that "once the guilty parties are discovered
due justice will be DONE"
Immediately after the occurrence an In
vestigation was begun by the proper au'
thorities, with the view of ascertaining the
facts and bringing the offenders to trial.
Commander Schley, Consul McCreary and
Minister Egan were appealed to for any
proofs or witnesses they could furnish te
throw light on the matter and aid in get
ting at the truth.
That is the CHILEAN side and it is entitled
to fair consideration. 1t shows that the
local authorities were Jealous in trying tt
uuell the dis 70 Ice and in investigating
the facts, with the view of bringing thu
guilty to iustics. 1t does not follow thai
the Gillian government is relieved from re-
sponsibility for the failure of the Valparai
so authorities to protect our citizens agains
violence. But it does follow that the Chi
lian government is not to be treated as
Power which has committed an intentiona
or deliberate offence against the United
States.
From the beginning the "Herald" hal
thought that the controversy is one which
has only to be conducted with patience ant
calmness, with craftsmanship and patriot
ism to result in an amicable settlement hon
orable to both governments. 1t is eontro
versy with two sides, and either part.
would be unwise to go to an extreme.
We believe that in this spirit the rev
government at Santiago will approach tn
matter. President Montt is a patriot, an'
his Cabinet bids fair to be wise and con-
ssrvative one Their true course, as wei
as ours, will be to settle the pending dis
pute in a fair way that will leave unr ptf1e'
the friendly relations between these tW
republics Any other course will be a
unwise one, which neither government cal
afford to take.
Let US HAYS peace.
