RAILROAD
RUMBLINGS.
A Narrow Escape at the Lehigh
Depot Yesterday.
SAVED BY THE CONDUCTOR
A Brakeman Loses Thumb While Coupl-
ing CarS=A Broken Rail Struck by
Train Near Audenried.

A Pole named John Bosco witcz who
attempted to board a passenger train at
the Lehigh Valley depot yesterday after
noon, to go to Mt. Carmel, almost sue
ceeded in going to that place mangled
corpse. The prompt action of Conductor
Reeves saved the man. Boscowitcz arrived
at the depot as the train was starting. He
attempted to jump on the front steps of
the first car and his foot slipped. He had
hold of thu platform railing and this
caused his body to swing around between
the car and the engines tank. Reeves,
who was standing on the car platform,
grabbed the man by the arm and pulled
him around to the steps as he was about
to drop to the track. Had the Pole fallen
nothing could have saved his body from
being crushed by the wheels.
Harry Taylor a freight train brakeman,
lost the thumb of his left hand Saturday
afternoon while coupling cars at the
Lehigh Valley depot. DR.. Hamilton tenn
porarily dressed the member and it was
subsequently amputated at the Miners
Hospital.
Passenger train No. 16S, of the Lehigh
Valley railroad bound from Hazleton
for Delano Saturday afternoon, narrowly
escaped disaster near Audenrled by strik-
ing broken rail. Two cars left the track,
but did not run far from it, and the train
proceeded on its journey after delay of
half an hour. Several passengers were
pretty well shaken up, but none sustained
| injury.
A man who was a passenger on the
Lehigh Valley train bound from Mt
Carmel to Centralia yesterday afternoon
made himself obnoxious to the passenge
by indulging in a flood of foul language
in the presence of ladies on the train. He
gave the conductor ten-dollar bill to
pay fare to Centralia. and to getichange
the conductor was Obliged to consult
several passengers. This seemed to vex
the man and when the change was given
him he challenged the railroad man to
step out on the Centralia depot platform
to fight for another ten-dollar bill. Judg
ing from the action of the passenger it
was evidently his hope that the conductor
would not be able to get change and there
would be free ride, but the conductor
nipped the dodge.

WAR POSSIBLE.
The Argentine Republic May Have a
Brush with Chile--PrecautiOns Be-
Ing Taken, and a Loan Of $780,
100000 Talked Of

Washington, D. c., June 2-Reports
from the Argentine ReI lblic show that
there is very active war party which
is agitating the prospect of a war with
Chile. The Argentine boundary com
missioners have returned from Chile,
and report satisfactory progress. But
the Argentine press keeps up the talk
of war, and the report received here
adds:
In the present critical state of feel
ing any such efforts, on the part of our
press. or of Cur pl blic men, are to be
sincerely deplored. Some street row
in a border town, some petty insult to
either Of the national flags, and we
would see the experience of a quarter
of a century ago repeated"
The Argentine government seems to
regard hOsulities as possible and is
taking every step of precaution. The
national guard is arming and drilling
and officers have been despatched to
Europe to purchase armament A loan
of $50 100000 is being considered to
meet possible war expenditures. a re-
port from Rosano states that a popular
outbreak is imminent, so much so that
the government has stationed the mon
itor El Plata in the harbor ready for
action, and the strategic points of the
town are nightly occupied by the
forces.

THE DEFICIT
In the National Treasury Will Prob
ably Aggregate $44,OOO,OOO for the
Fiscal Year---Slight Increase in the
Receipts.

Washington, D. c., June 2.-Treas-
ury officials are now confident that the
close of the fiscal year one month hence
will show a deficit of not more than
$44,OOO,OOO, and possibly not more than
SAB 100000, which is at least S5,OOO,-
600 less than was predicted only a few
weeks ago, and $3,OOO,OOO or $4,000, 900
less than the present figures. 1t is
shown that the pension payments dur
ing June will be at least S2.50O,OOO less
than for May, and that the payments
on account of interest will also be re-
duced S1,5O0,00O. With an increase
from internal revenue of 5000. 600 on
account of receipts from special liquor,
tobacco and oleomargarine licenses,
which must be paid before July /, and
very material reductions in pension and
interest payments, it is confidently eX-
pected that next month Will show a
small surplus, with the deficit further
reduced to at least $44000000. The
month of July, however, is likely to SEQ
the deficit increased by at least $40. 0.000.-
600. as that months interest payments
will aggregate about S7,000,000. Dis
bursements in every branch Of the govN
ernment are usually much heavier In
July than in any other month, so that
without the receipts are greatly in
creased the deficit on August 1st next,
will not likely fall much short of $685.

Special TO the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, June Mot
until the arrival in the city this even
ing of James Hines, of Petroleum, was
the identity of the man killed by yes
terday's terrible explosion Of nitro
glycerine in the little Kanawha river.
disclosed He was August Cooley, OF
Pittsburg, and he had successfully
made several trips to the oil fields be-
fore.
Mr.. Hines says that at Pittsburg l.
600 quarts of the deadly explosive was
loaded on the craft. At Sistersyille 15O
quarts were left, and at Marietta he
took from the boat so quarts, which
was transported by him safely to Pc
troleum overland in an ordinary road
wagon. There still remained in the
boat 500 quarts, and Mr. Hines says
that Cooley discharged the explosives
accidentally, as it will not explode
under 100 degrees.
A small piece of the unfortunate
mans flesh is on exhibition in Bore
mans drug store window. 1t is about
212x3 inches in size and is all that
could be found of him.
The damage to the city is worse thanl
at first thought, and will exceed $780,
600.
The Catholic Church, which was
nearly mile from the scene Of the
explosion, is damaged to the extent OF
$4,000.
The report is current that several
hardware stores in the city have a
large amount OF o-glycerine in
stock, and the citizens are very un-
easy and look for a possible repetition
of the disaster.
Extra police have been put on duty,
as a majority Of the store fronts are
torn out and goods are scattered about
promiscuously.
The streets of the city are strewn
with broken glass and fragments OF
buildings, and the town presented
very shaken-up appearance this morn
ing
The damage to the plant of the
Parkersburg Milling Company is par
ticularly to be regretted. The con-
Germ was the chief industry Of the
town, and gave employment to about
three hundred men. 1t will take some
time to get the plant in running order

"a CRUEL WRONG"
Eugene Debs Issues Circular Before Go
ing TO Jail.

Ing To Ohiis
Terre Haute. Ind, June Before
going to jail to serve out the sentence
imposed by Judge Woods, Eugene V.
Debs. president of the American Rail-
way Union, issued a circular to mem
bers of the order from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken:
"A cruel wrong against our greatest
beloved order, perpetrated by William
A. Woods, United States Circuit Judge,
has been approved by the United
States Supreme Court. Our order is
still the undaunted friend of the toll
ing masses, and our battle cry now, as
ever, is the emancipation of labor from
degrading, starving and enslaving con-
ditions. We have not lost faith in the
ultimate triumph of truth over perjury,
of justice over wrong, however exalted
may be the stations of those who per-
petrate the outrages.
Il need not remind you, comrades of
the American Railway Union, that our
order in the pursuit of the right was
confronted with a storm of opposition
such as never before fell upon a labor
organization in all time. The battle
fought in the interest of starving men,
women and children stands forth in
the history of labor struggles the great
Pullman strike. 1t was a battle on the
part of the American Railway Union
fought for a cause as holy as ever
aroused the courage Of brave men,"
