Attempi at Train wreckIng.

The fourth attempt to wreck a Penn
sylvania railroad train was made early
Sunday, one nalf mile east of Millers-
town and 30 miles north of Harrisburg
The second section of the Southwestern
express, composed of baggage cars, ran
into and through six pie es of steel
which had been fastened upon the track.
Engineer Stonebraker, OF Harrisburg.
was driving his engine at the rate Of 90
miles an hour. The engine kept the
track. 1t was going down steep grade
so rapidly that, although brakes were
applied and the lever reversed, the train
ran full half mile before it could be
brought to stop. Engineer Stone
braker and conductor ID. w. Sheaffer,
of Harrisburg, say their escape from a
wreck was miraculous.
This is the second attempt at wreck
ing at this spot made within the last few
weeks. Detectives have beeu working
on the case, and two men are now
awaiting trial in the Perry county jail
There seems to be an organized gang at
work, and their object is apparently to
wreck tho mail train.

P. Hildreth wee fishing for sea-trout
Slturd ly near ''Uncle Eph" bouy, two
and a half miles from the Cape shore,
a school of large whales came within a
feM yards of their boat. They rolled
their huge black sides out of the water
and blew great fountains of water high
in the air. The seasoned fishermen
were startled when the spray fell into
their skiff, making it necessary to bail
out the boat as precaution for another
blow of the whales.
Keeper Sooy, of the Cold Spring life
saving station, was also near the school,
and he and his mates got a drenching
from the showers of water falling about
them. After playing near the fisher .
men, the whales disappeared seaward.
Sites. who is an experienced shoreman,
thinks the monsters were sixty feet
long.

No PRESIDENTIAL candidate ever
emerged from campaign so clean and
wholesome as has Mr.. Bryan. OF him
the Washington Post of Tuesday,
journal politically opposed to him-said:
"He has borne himself with courage
and devotion from the beginning to the
end of the campaign. He has exhibi.
ted such qualities of endurance, such
sublimity of faith in himself and his
mission, such power over men. such
gifts of eloquence and magnetism, as
may truly be said to be without parallel
In the history of American politics. He
has swayed multitudes as no political
orator ever did before He has moved
men and women to sorrow and reioic
ing, to hope and fear, to such exaItation
as seemed beyond the experience of hu-
manIty In these days. That he was
earnest, sincere, beyond the thought of
selfishness and sordid appetite, we veri-
ly believe. We here pay tribute to the
purity, the candor, and the utter self
abnegation of his course
Julian Hawthorne, the distinguished
author who has spent much time with
Mr.. Bryan during the past three months.
thus speaks of the man and his labors.
"They have been the labors of Her
cules, done in the cause of truth and
humanity, and he who has performed
them deserves :he highest reward in the
gift of his countrymen He has been
brave and faithful. He has battIed
against that worst form of anarchy which
consists in the dead weight of a pluto
cratic depotism. During this conflict
he has struck no foul blow. He has
uttered no personality. He has stopped
to no falsehood. No warrior ever
emerged from the thick of battle with
cleaner hands and ensign more spot
less"

CHAIRMAN JoNEz issued the following
statement ThursC ~: The result OF
the presidential el, etinu apparently no
longer in doubt, 1t has bAen one OF the
closest contests that the people have
been called on to determine in recent
yerrs. We have claimed the election on
our advices from states that were admit
tedIy in doubt, in which we knew there
had been many frauds. and from which
there were evidences of tampering with
the returns 1t seems now tn be appar-
ent that while Mr. Bryan, after making
the most brilliant campaign in the his
,ory of the country and having carried
most of the states claimed to he doubt
ful. has not carried enough to assure his
success in the electoral college.
ssBryan electors have been chosen
from all of the states south of the Poto-
mac and Ohio except West Virginia and
all those west of the Missouri except Cal
ifornia and Oregon. He has 100 electo-
creased by final returns from states yet 10
question. He has not obtained enough
votes to carry the electoral college
Thus this remarkable campaign closes
with the election of William Mckinley.
The result was brought about by every
kind of coercion and intimidation on the
part of the money power, including
threats of lock0uts and dismissals and
impending starvation, by the employ
ment of by far the largest campaign fund
ever used in this country, and by the
subordination of large portion of the
American press.
The president-elect and his party are
under the pledge to the American pee
pie to continue the gold standard, and
by its operation to restore prosperity to
the country. AS chief executive, Mr..
Mckinley will have the cordial support
of the millions of patriotic Americans
Jennings Bryan. They bow to the ma
jesty of the Office and abide by the result
with none of the mutterings that would
have come from the moueyed powers
had it been unsuccessful.
They arec1nfident that gold standard
cannot give the promised prosperity.
but will gladly welcome it if it comes.
They will continue the great struggle
for the uplifting of humanity and the
maintenance of the dignity of our coun-
try in the establishment of American
monetary system And the Democratic
party. aided by its present allies, will
still uplift the bimetalIic STANFORD and
bear it on to victory. JAMES X. JONES.

place of shelter He had gone but a few
feet when large lump of coal ruled IN

ground. Momentarily expecting the ex-
plosion of the blast, he cried for help
The other three men were working near
and disregarding the danger to them
selves, they ran to Welsh's rescue.
They had scarcely reached him when
the blast exploded, bringing down with
it mass of coal upon the men. Halla
rim and Staum were crushed to death and
Welsh fatally injured, while Mack WAS
fortunate in escaping with slight hurts

colliery, near Wyoming. Two miners.

Damage by Floods in France,

Pans, November kilograms re-
ceIved from the departments bring news
of further floods and of alarming rise in
the rivers. Enormous damage to prop
erty has been done, but no fatality has
yet been reported. The River Seine is
still rising, and is at the flood stage.
The authorities have dispatched to
Comps and TO Vallabregues the artillery
wagons from Mines in order to assist in
the work of relief. The River Rhone
has burst its banks at Lauson, which is
now isolated. The only communication
through considerable districts is by boat.
Troops have gone to Avingnon to assist
in repairing the broken banks of the
Rhone.

The government of Great Britain and
Ireland does an annual postal business of
$55, 900, 900 and clears profit of $15,-
100000 In the United States last year,
we did a business of $40, 600, 900 and
failed to the extent of $4,000, 900 in
meeting expenditures. The reason for
this disparity is in the fact that Great
Britain lies on two small islands, with
an area of 1915 square miles, or
something less than the area of New
York, Pennsylvania and Virginia
Great Britain has a population of 800
to the square mile, while that of the
United States is only IA. Every part of
great Britain is thickly populated and is
easily accessible. In our own country
there are vast thinly populated regions
to which the mails are carried at great
loss. To sustain this explanation it is
pointed out that the New York city of
fee yields the government 81, 900, 900 a
a year. The state of Massachusetts con-
tributes 81, ,500,00 and Pennsylvania
and Illinoist take in million each
above the expenses of their postal ser
vices: while in Nebraska, for example,
the annual loss is about 81 $50, 600
Yet postal communication with Nebras-
ka and other thinly populated states is
as essential to complete postoffice sys-
tenn as the better paying service of the
eastern states.

waited for twenty minutes until within
speaking distance. The stranger proved
to be Spanish man-of war We were
hailed and asked our vessels name and
whittier bound, also if we had seen any
