An ARTISTS HEROIC DEATH.
pR.yE. But USELESS SACRIFICE
OF A FAMOUS PAINTERS LIFE.

The Little Girl, " hose Life He Tried

the Train That Killed Him-The
Dead Man One of the Most Distin-
ruished American Artists - Cut
Down In the Prime of HIS vigOr
and skiII-sOme OF His Best known
works.
Norristown. Pa, Aug 4.-Thomas Ho-
venden the famous artist, was instant-
" killed by a railroad train near here this
afternoon. Mr.. Hovenden met with a
haro's death. for it was in attempting
70 save the life Of a little girl that he
lost his own. The sacrifice Of Mr.. Ho-
venden's life was useless. because the
child that he attempted to save also
met her death beneath the wheels of the
engine that ground the life of the artist
The accident occurred at a grade cross
ing on what is known as the Trenton
cutoff on the Pennsylvania railroad. The
Chestnut Hill Trolley Company's tracks
run up to the tracks Of the railroad COM
pany at the point where the accident
occurred, but do not cross. Passengers
Of the trolley company are compelled to
leave the car at the railroad tracks and
cross the latter on foot to take a trolley
car on the opposite side. Mr.. Hovenden
has a summer residence in Plymouth town
ship. this county. and he was return
ing home there this evening on a trolley
car When the car reached its stopping
point on the far side Of the railroad track
the passengers alighted as usual and pre-
pared to cross to the trolley car on the
other side. Besides Mr.. Hovenden, among
the passengers on the car. were Mrs. Clara
Peifer and her 10-year-old daughter, Bes-
sic
A fast freight train was approaching the
crossing as the passengers from the trolley
car alighted. The little girl did not notice
the oncoming train, and ran on ahead Of
her mother 10 cross the tracks. The train
bore rapidly down and the engineer blew
his whistle freely when he saw the little
figure standing between the rails. The
child seemed to become confused and
awaited her coming death without attempt
ing to avoid it, Mr. Hovenden rushed for
ward and snatched the child up in his
arms. Before he could make the leap that
would have saved them both the pilot of

ed him across the track with terrible force
The engineer stopped his train and he and
the fireman ran to where Mr.. Hovenden
and the little girl were lying side by side
The man was dead and- the child died as
she was raised from the ground.
Thomas HoVenden was one of the leading
artists that America has produced. He
was still in the comparative prime of his
intellectual vigOr and artistic skill, being
but 80 years of age. His best known paint
ing, breaking home ties" has been en-
graved probably more than the work Of
any other American artist, and was a
familiar object on the walls of thousands
of homes in the United States. The paint
ing was one Of the most notable of the
American groups at the worlds fair Mr.
Hovenden leaves wife. but no children.

Americans, as Usual.
Brussels. Aug. 14-At the International
parliamentary peace conference to-day a
proposal looking to the establishment Of
an international arbitration court was dis
cussed. Mr.. Shape. a delegate from Liv-
erpool, said he regretted the stand taken
by the United States. Ths American con-
gress. he said, had refused to vote the sum
Of money decided upon Blythe Bering Sea
tribunal of arbitration ds damages for
seizures made by American vessels and IN
settlement of the claims OF British sub
jects in connection with the Bering Sea
fisheries, whereas Great Britain had paid
to the United States the large indemnity
decreed by the arbitration court in the
Alabama case
Mr.. Randall Cremer, an ex-member of
the British House of Commons and secre-
tary of the international arbitration
league, who recently visited the unated
States in connection with arbitration mat

FATHER AND SON LYNcHED.
A sharp Lesson Administered to EvII
Doors in the Northwest.

D0CEs IN tnG AOEAnNGNG.
Ellenburg, Wash, Aug. l4.-At an early
hour this morning Charles Vincent, who
shot Mike colohoop in a drunken brawl
Sunday, was lynched. A large mob
gathered at midnight and attacked the
Jail about l o'clock The sherir resisted,
but had small force Of men and was
overpowerd. Vincent was hanged to a
railroad bridge and ms body shot full
Of holes. His hearing was to have taken
place to-day.
Last night John Burglin, who was
stabbed by Nincents father in the same
row, died from his wounds. Young Vim
cent had served in the Oregon peniten-
tiary for burglary. Within an hour after
the young Vincent was hanged his father
was also taken from Jail and hanged be-
side him.
Sheriff Stinson made a strong effort
to save the men. but the mob was too
strong for him. The Jail is a weak af-
fair, and there was no trouble in getting
in. The men were confined in steel
cages, which gave the mob a good deal
of trouble in opening. The Nincents
made no fight, being apparently over
come with fear Some of the NEST prom
inent citizens in town participated in
the lynching. A few were masked, but
the majority made no attempt TO dis
guise themselves There has been a good
deal of lawlessness in the neighborhood
for the past year. and IL was the general
belief that a sharp lesson was needed by
evil disposed characters who had taken
UP their quarters in town. The civil
authorities have not yet taken any ac-
ton with regard to the lynching.

Marion Butler Says Many Bitter
Words in His Anger.
Raleigh, n. c.. Aug. Ex-senator Marion
Butler, in his speech at Concord, made
one of the severest attacks on President
Cleveland ever heard in North Carolina.
He said; ''rhe man who puts party above
principle is the best tool the gold bugs
have. and the devil never had better ser
want than a goldbug. Every bond this
government owes England or any other
country or individual is payable in gold
or silver at the option of the government,
and it says SO on the face of the bond. Yet
Cleveland is going to England to get gold
when he could pay the bonds in silver
He does not pay them in silver because
ne is the hireling of the goldbugs.

floor of the United States Senate, if he
sends down his army after me for saying
it. If you had an honest man for presi-
dent he could make the times easier in ten
days by calling congress together to fur
nish relief 1t is not enough to send
honest men to congress. We will never
see better times till we drive traitors out
OF the white house and get an honest free
silver man for President"
Senator Butler was asked: 'If the Dem
ocratic parry would nominate a silver man
Tor President woud you vote for him" 3"
His replay was: mot If he opposed the in
come tax or the repeal Of the national
banking system"
Mr.. Butler is here tonight presiding at
conference of leading populists, among
whom are State Treasurer Worth and
Congressman Shuford and Stroud. He
declares that the man or party which at
tempts TO prevent the junction of all sill

Ryde Aug. 14-The American schooner

trite, the property OF Frederick wills, to-
day sailed their match race over tho
queens cup course of the Royal Yacht
Squadron. from Cowes westward to the
Lymngton Spit, thence to the Bullock
Patch buoy. southeast to the Nab light
ship and back TO the starting point twice
around, a distance OF fifty miles. The
course was the same as that sailed over
by the AmphHrite, Yampa and other cruis-
ers on Wednesday last, when the Yampa
easily beat all her competitors for the
cup offered by Lord Iveagh, but was sub
sequently disqualified for not sailing the
race In cruising trim, as provided by
the conditions, she having more hands on
board than she carried while cruising.
The disqualification led to Mr.. Palmer
challenging Mr.. Wills to sail a matcn
for 100 guineas, under practically the same
conditions as governed the race for Lord
Iveagh's cup, with the exception that each
yacht could carry as many persons as
she pleased.
on elapsed time the Amphitrite won by
II minutes l2 seconds. and on corrected
time the Amphitrite's allowance on the
Yampas new measurement being min
utes Al seconds by IS minutes and 50 sec

point Of sailing. beating, reaching and
running, and ner performance to-day az
ter the beating she gave the Amphitrite
last Wednesday created surprise among
those who believed her capable Of defeat
ing the Amphitrite handily.
The defeat OF the Yampa is partially ex-
cused by the fact that she went aground
in the west channel while beating to the
Lymington Spit, and remained for a few
minutes after which she got Off and pro-
ceeded over the course. She apparently
sustained no damage by the accident.
