When he had hidden farewell to the

back to his study with very curious

much doubt, and some dismay.

When the Washington and New York
express pulled into the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore railroad
station, shortly after o'clock Thursday
afternoon, half a hundred people stand
ing about the platform were Mortified to
see human form dangling from the
iron railing at the front of rapidly
moving passenger coach. A man who
had been stealing ride started to jump
while the train was in full motion and
fell, but somehow he managed to grasp
the railing and held tight with one hand.
The train was moving so rapidly that
had he let go he would have been car
ried under the wheels of the car, and as
il was he had all he could do to hold
fast with one hand. For over a hum
dred yards the tramp juggled with
death, and how he escaped was a mys-
terry to every one. The motion of the
express caused the body to sway back
and forth almost beneath the heavy
wheels, and once it looked as though the
wheels had actually caught the mans
body and had begun to grind it in frag-
ments, when by tremendous effort the
tramp managed to swing his body out
from under the car, and, in doing so,
lost his hold entirely. 1t was at this
juncture that people turned away from
the sight which every one expected
would follow. But as good luck would
have it the man fell just out of harms
way, but SO near the wheels Of the car
that they grazed his clothing. He turned
several somersaults and then landed in
heap alongside of the track, none the
worse for his narrow escape from the
jaws of death.
Men who have witnessed the loss of
human life on the rail and seen all
kinds of accidents in railroadiug shook
their heads when they saw the fellow
pick himself up from the track and de-
clared that it was the closest shave they
ever beheld before. AS for the tramp,
he only smiled at the incident and put
off down the track until hailed by Spec
ial Officer Smith, who took him in Gus
tody and sent him to the city hall.
The belated individual was arraigned
before Judge Ball in municipal court,
on Friday, on complaint of Officer
Smith, who charged him with vagrancy.
He said that he had boarded the train at
Elkton and that his home was in Phila-
delphia. Judge Bail informed the cul-
prit that he ought to be thankful he was
not killed during his exciting expert
ence, and it was only through a remarka-
bic streak of good fortune that he was
alive at all.
The judge was puzzled as to what
disposition should be made of the harm
less vagabond. City Solicitor Elliott
made the announcement that Coxey's
army would be in town and per-
haps he would be glad to find recruit
in the new Commonwealth. The mans
name is Henry Chandler. He was re-
committed to ascertain what disposition
should be made of his case.

Coroner George G.. ROCKWELL Friday
morning replevined from Sheriff Gould
the tug Ellen b. Cramner, which has
cut such q conspicuous figure in local

Sheriff Gould seized the tug March
31st, and brought her to the wharf of
the Pusey d Jones Company, where
she was moored TO scow. During the
night storm came up and the scow
jrifted outin the river. The tug Cram.
ner had no ballast and therefore listed

vessel. He employed Levi C. Bird and
