USED HIS KNIFE.
A Frightful But Lapghable Experience On
the Red Sea.

the Red Sea.
In Werner Won Siemens' Personal
Recollections" the famous electrician
narrates Red sea adventure which
might have turned out tragically. He
was laying a cable and one night was
in his restroom supervising some part
of the work, when suddenly he heard
loud shouting overhead and violent
running to and fro.
The man at the ships head, intrust-
ed with the continuous soundings, had
fallen overheard. AS the whole deck
was well lighted with gas, many of the
people there could see him in the
water, and in answer to his lusty cries
for help they threw him life-belts,
which were kept everywhere on board.
The vessel was stopped and boats
put out, which disappeared for an I'M
comfortably long time in the darkness,
At last they returned with shouts OF
triumph.
The man had kept himself aaoat by
swimming, and had been lucky enough
not to be seized by any of the nu-
merous sharks which disport them
selves in the Red sea, and are said to
have special relish for white, people,
while they rarely modest black. He
was trembling violently when brought
on board, and had his knife still open
in his hand.
On being questioned as to his expo
rience he said that he had been sur
rounded by sharks. but happily had
been able to draw his knife and de-
fend hihsef until the boats arrived.
I'VE were all shivering at his vivid
description of his adventure" says Won
Siemens, when the boatswain stepped
into the ring and announced to the
captain that some Of his life-bclts,
which had been thrown to the unfor-
tunate man, had been recovered, and
that several of them showed curious
signs of having been pierced with
knife"
The cold shieers gave place to good,
natrred laughter. In his fright the
man had taken the white belts for
sharks bellies

HE BECAME A CHAMPION.

After Trying Many Things He Struck the

''No," said the tall young man to a
Buffalo Express writer, 81 must con-
fess that did not win renown in coll
lege in the usual way. When first
went there decided was not cut out
for an athlete, and made up my mind
that / would win scholastic honors- /
vowed l would come away from that
institution of learning with all sorts of
medals and degrees, and I went at it
hammer and tongs. / dug and dug
and dug, and burned the midnight oil,
and all that sort of thing for six weeks.
Then found that there were dozen
men in nay class any one of whom could
give me hatful of brains and then
have more left than ] had, and kind OF
quit the scholastic honor lay and
tackled something else.
81 had myself examined by a doctor,
and he told me that with practice I
might get to be q good oarsInan or
baseball player, or something Of that
sort. l went into the gymnasium,
throwing my former ideas about ath-
letics to the winds, and spent hours
there each day. did all sorts of exer-
cises, and, just when had concluded
that 1 was about good enough to do
something publicly, I ran across some
of the crack athletes at work, and,
after watching them for half an hour,
gave my gymnasium rig to the first
man l met and never entered the place
again.
Literature seemed to be about the
only thing left open to me; set out to
be known as the brightest writer in the
varsity. / wrote a whole lot of stuff
for the college periodicals, and sat
down and waited for it to be printed,
so that i could be hailed as genius.
The editors didn't look at the stuff In
the light did, and they refused every
blank word of it- Al avenues for great
ness in the college world seemed closed
to me then, aud was pretty blue for
few days. Finally hit on something
and l made grand success Of it. l

ward ever had"
The tall young man paused impress
sively, and then said: II came away
from that institution of learning owing
more money than any person who pre-
ceded or had followed me-"

A CALIFORNIAN CANAL.
It Is TO Run In the Interior Parallel to
the Coast.


An ambitious scheme for canal in
the interior of California has just been
set afoot. 1t is to be run parallel to
the coast. and is to cost ten million dol
lars, which has yet to be raised, and
the protector expects to see steamers
running up as far as Brinkerville, two
hundred and twenty miles from the
coast, in the not far distant future.
s.The main canal" he says, will be
one hundred and seventy-five miles
long, from Suisun bay to Tulare lake.
1t will be extended to Bakersfield, and
there viii be branch canals running
out to various important towns.
1t will be large enough to carry vessels
of heavy draft, and will be just what
its name implies-a ship canal. \ sys-
TEN of immense locks will be necessary.
and thereby we viii obtain another
great value from the canal The sur
plus water in the locks will be distrib-
uted through the lower adjoining coun-
try for irrigation, and the elevation at
each lock will give great facilities for
water power. Motors operated by
water would furnish electric lights for
all the towns on our line. From Suisun
bay the canal viii extend down the San
joaquin valley, the river being utilized
most of the way. Tulare, Buena Vista
md Kern lakes and the Kern river viii
be included in construction. The water
viii be obtained from these lakes and
rivers. and from the natural drainage.
The drainage is an important factor,
and we will annually save whole lakes
of water that is now lost. The water
that flows down from one section of the
canal viii be saved in the lower locks.
1t will be large volume of water, for
the canal viii be at least fifty feetwida

Congressional Candidates.

The Democrats held rousing conven-
tiou at Harrisburg yesterday and amid
much enthusiasm and good hope for the
future nominated James Denton Han
cock, of Venango county, as their candi-
date for congressman at-large.
The platform is a strong one and re-
affirms the bold and manly position
taken by the Democrats in their national
and state conventions of the two past
years. 1t points out fearlessy the
present condition of the country and
declares that the same is the natural
result of the long years of class legisla-
tion with which the Republicans have
buidened the people.
The Wilson bill received high praise
and those who expected that Pennsyl-
vania Democrats would take one step
backward on the tariff question will be
disappointed. Our representatives in
congress are called upon to do their duty
in voting and working for the passage of
the bill.
Cleveland's administration and the
honest work of our president is indorsed,
and confidence is expressed in the
leadership of such noble statesman.
In all the platform is one of the best the
Democrats of this state have ever adopt
ed, and an earnest effort should be made
to elect Mr. Hancock.
The Prohibitionsts held their conven-
on Tuesday and placed Henry F. Nor
row, of Delaware county, in the field as
candidate against Galusha Grow and the
Democratic nominee.

New Train Rules Adopted.

On the first of next month the stand
ard train rules and rules for movement
of trains by telegraph, as provided by
the American Railway Association, will
be adopted on the lines of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, Company, and the new
book of rules will be distributed in am
pie time to permit of all employees fami-
liarizing themselves Herewith.
AS the adoption of the standard code
will make necessary some very impor-
tant changes in the whistle and bell
cord signals, it has been deemed advis-
able to issue circulars as an advance
notice, and employees are asked to care
fully note the rules attached thereto so
that they will be prepared to put them
into effect on the above date.
The same rules will be adopted by
nearly all the eastern roads on which
they are not now in use.

Reliable Criticism of n Play.
From the Newsdealer, January o.

From the Newsdealer, January 8.
"Will O. the Wisp," in the long list of
Irish dramas, is as refreshing as the
water-sprou in the desert. 1t contains
a heart story that is told strangely and
dramatically, without the introduction
of red coat or a priest. The whisky
bottle and the mortgage, the backbone
of nine-tenths of the Irish dramas, seems
to have been lost sight of by Edgar
Seldom, who wrote the play, and who
carried the romance into the woodlands
of the Lakes Of Killarney, and his sensa-
ton into the ever rising mists of the Vale
of Avoca.
The plot is strong and well told, the
humor bright and spontaneous, the
scenery the most picturesque Music Hall
has given US, and the company one of
more than ordinary merit. The special.
ties are many and possess the spice OF
novelty. McCloud and Melville receiy.
ed seven encores last night for the songs
dances and harp playing.
George Timmons is the Irish hero OF
the play and once more sang and acted
his way into the hearts of Wilkes
Barreans. The play will be repeated or
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings it'll

Cannot Prove Their Charges.

The Republican leaders of Schuylkill
county who had hoped to have Repub-
lican Commissioner Charles G.. Allen
ousted at the present term of court may
be doomed to disappointment. The
charges of making ante-election promises,
bribery and perjury now pending aginst
him will not be investigated, it is thought,
before the next term of criminal court.
Hon. John w. Ryan and j. 0. Ulrich,
the attorneys who will defend Mr.. Allen,
have asked for bill of particulars,
which will be demanded at the proper
time, and it is the general belief that
Sam Losch and his scheming friends
will not find it so easy to prove the
charges they made so recklessly against
Allen. Already the Republican leaders
are looking about for some loophole to
escape the consequences of their suit.

THURSDAY, JANUARY II, 1894.
Herring Appointed,

! President Cleveland on Tuesday ap-
pointed Grant Herring, of Bloomsbury,
internal revenue collector, thereby end
ing long and bitter struggle for the
position. Mr.. Herring's most formid-
able opponent was T. M. Commit, of
Plains, who was recommended and
strongly supported by Congressman
Hines. Herring, however, had Secre-
tary of State, VIM. F. Harrity and the
leading Democrats of this district on his
side, and his appointment was fore
gone conclusion.
The offices is one that pays we'll. The
collector is chief of the twelfth internal
revenue district, which includes several
counties, and he establishes headquar-
ters wherever convenient. The salary
is So, 750 per year, and under him are
two deputies at $500 each, three at
81 200 each, three at 1000 each and one
at 5000; one agent at 800, one at $40O
and one at $3.50; two clerks at 5000 each,
one janitor at 800, nineteen store
keepers and gaugers at So to SO per day,
and four gaugers who are paid in fees.
Senator Grant Herring was born at
Centreville, Columbia county, May 10,
1862. He graduated from Lafayette
college, at Easton, Pa, in June, 1888.
He read law at Bloomsbury, and was
admitted to the bar February 1, 1885.
He formed a partnership the same day
with his preceptor, Elijah r. Ikeler,
which continued until his partner was
elected to the Office of president judge,
January, 1889, since then he has been
practicing law alone at Bloomsbury.
He was elected to the state senate on
November A, 1890.
Mr.. Herring is considered one of the
most effective campaign orators in the
state, and, though SO youthful, is in the
front rank of his profession in the courts
in which he practices. He was known
in the senate as the 'baby SENATOR"
because of his age, though he is nearly
six feet tall and weighs oyer 200 pounds.

Killed His Boy and Himself.

Summit Hill was the scene OF. a
horrible murder on Sunday morning
John Thomas, aged 40, while suffering
with melancholia, caused by an attack
of grip, brutally murdered his six-year-
old son with razor and then cut his
own throat.
His wife and four children were at
breakfast and did not know anything of
the affair until one of the children,
having occasion to go upstairs, found her
father and brother both dead. Thomas
was a sober and industrious man and
had always borne good reputation.

Successful Skin Grating.

Thomas Hughes, boy of Kingston,
sometime ago was severely injured in
the mine. One of his legs was badly
larcerated and during the healing pro-
cess the skin refused to grow. The hos
pital physicians decided upon skin graft
ing in order to restore the boys leg to
its former condition. Two of the nurses
responded to the emergency. Misses
Caffrey and Merrill.
The physicians cut large patches of
cuticle from their arms and transferred
it to the boys leg. The healthy bodies
of the charitable nurses will soon re-
place what they parted with and the
boy will in few weeks leave the insti-
tuition unscarred.
