Two Men CIinchcd In Rage Struck and
Killed by an Express Train.

As the early New York express from Spring
field on tho New Haven Railroad passed. Pel-
hamvillo Mt about 8 o'clock yesterday MORN
ing tho engin cor saw two men standing on the
track orpo site Hollers leo house. some dis
tance ahead. Tho men were clinched and
were evidently fighting. The engineer saw
distinctly one OF the men m AXE several vicious
punches with his cllnched fist Mt the other.
As the men did not seem to hear the approach
ing train, the engineer pulled tho whistle rope
to warn them. Ho continued to sound the
whistle until the train was within q few yards
OF the struggling men. but neither Of them
made n motion to get on the track. Seeing
that he was sure to hit them, he reversed the
engine and did all he could to slow VI the train.
1t was OF no use. however. The train was
too near the men. and second later the cow
catcher OF tho locomotive struck them with
terrific force. sonding both flying up the track.
At tho moment the engine bounded down on
them they were still clinched and struggling
Az soon as possible the train was stopped
and tho brakemen ran forward to render what
their bodies mangled. The remains, were care

notified, and he immediately imranellcd a
Judg ng from their appearance. both Of tho

they were drunk when the engine struck them:
Neither appeared to he more than so years OF
age. and both looked like !rishmcn: One had
q black moustache. while the face OF the other
was so badly mutiated that 1t was impossible
to tell whether he wore either n beard or a
moustuche. Both men wero attired in cheap
laborers clothing.
1t is supposed that the men were two OF q
large number who have hecn employed on the

ton OF going on q anree. The railroad peo-
pie, ms well as the police are Of the opinion
that while drunk the two men had some sort
OF quarrel which they went out on the railroad
track to settle. There they became SO nb-
sorbod in their fight that they didn't hear the
approaching train and were too drunk to pay
any attention to the repeated whistling OF tho
engine.

"Give you centsp' echoed the young
man in surprise, for his applicant was
pretty, refined looking little girl of about
10 summers, whose clothing looked as
though she were child of fortune, not
of want.
Eyes, sir. l want it to pay my car
fare with. l lost the nickel mamma
gave me-" OF course the young man
gladly gave the girl the desired 8 cents,
and she fairly beamed upon him. The
incident happened at Broad and Chest
nut street. Not long after the young
man was waiting for car on Walnut
street, and it so happened that he was
thinking Of the pretty face of the child.
ssWell," unused he to himself, "Tm
glad l happened to be there in time.
Some parents are awfully careless OF
their children, though. Think of the
little thing having to ask for money. It's

There came slight pull at his coat
sleeve. Then a sweet, weak voice that
seemed familiar said, please, sir, will
you give me cents3"
The young man turned asif stung. he
could hardly believe his own eyes. "You
see, sir'-began the sweet voice again.
Eyes, know all about it. You lost
the money your mother gave you for car
fare"
1t never phased the little one. She
smiled divinely and answered, Eyes, how

had caught passing car, and the look
on his face set several of the passengers

How the System of Tipping Has Degener-

How the System of Tipping Has Degener-
ated In Many Eating Houses.
Complaints of the tipping system, or
rather want of system, are growing more
and more common. 1t is the opinion of
those who are in the habit of getting
their meals here and there and patroniz-
ing the cafes about town that insolence
among walters has visibly increased.
Everybody who knows anything about
New York knows what that means-an
exceedingly disagreeable state of affairs.
''The evil is worse in proportion to the
responsibility of the place." says man
about town. "In other words, the more
expensive the meal the more liberal the
tip, and the more insulting the walters
if it does not come up to their ideas Of
what the amount of the tip should be-"
have been making some personal in
vestigations in this line myself and un-
hesitatingly indorse the above opinion.
have found that in every instance the
waiter expected tip whether he had
served we'll or not, and that this expecta-
ton is made so badly apparent that the
attention of everybody in the vicinity is
called to the fact to bear unwilling wit
ness as to the extent of your liberality.
Also that too small tip will subject
you to more pronounced insult that none
at all; that any effort to correct abuse
of this character by reporting the serv-
ant is more likely to multiply your bad
treatment than to reduce it.

to one you will be received with more
contempt than you got at the hands of
the waiter. No one man in 500 thus Of
Tended ever complains simply doesn't
go back. Most city men and travellers
are not easily offended by walters. Fa-
miliar with the ways of the waiter, they
either pay up or ignore the intended of

more readily blackmailed, or who, re-

suggestion of a friend interested in this
class Of human nature, we went back to
the same waiter ON the next day, there
was such visible reluctance to serve
us that we were compelled to call the
head waiter before we could get any
thing to eat. AS my rule is to reward a
servant proportionately for extra service
and attention, and as some Of these men
rendered this service and got nothing,
cherish no hard feelings against them
for the look of cold disappointment with
which they greeted our departure. In
discriminate tipping has made tipping
useless practically, SO far as good service
is concerned. 1t has become merely SC

demands and receives the same reward
