JOHN X. CowEN ELECTED.
Chosen President of the Baltimore a nd
Chic Road.

Baltimore Jan. 24.-John X. Cowen was
today elected president of the Baltimore
Ohio Railroad Company, to succeed Charles
+. Mayer.
Mr.. Cuwcn has been the company's gen.
eral counsel for many years. He was Il
ciassmate of Robert Garrett at Prime eton
College, and it was upon the sugg estion of
his old schoolmate and friend that the elder
Garrett, then at the Baltimore & OhieA
helm. brought the young Ohio lawyer into
the railroad company's legal deDartm ent.
He was soon at the head of his d apartment.
In many of the Important moves OF the
company since that time the hand of Mr..
Cowen has been manifest, and in his coun-
sci the greatest reliance has at all times
been placed. lie is considered one of the
ablest corporation lawyers in the coun-
try. and was the father of the railroad
pooling bill.
At the present time Mr.. Coweu is the
Representative of the Fourth Maryland
district in the lower branch of the National
Congress. He has always taken ereat inter
est in politics and is an ardent admirer of
President Cleveland. He was the leader
IN the political warfare against Senator
German, which led to the recent downfall
of the machine organization in this city
and State.
Mr.. Governs selection as president of the
Baltimore and Ohio Company may have
seine political significance, as Senator Cor
ma has of late been fighting that company,
while Mr.. Wellington, the United States
Senator elected Wednesday, is friendly to
1t. The special Committee appointed for
the purpose OF selecting Mr.. Mayors sue
cessor was a unit In favor OF Mr.. Cowen.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 24.-Josiah Leeds,
the Anthony Constock OF this city, has begun
crusade against the theaters. On Thurs

public safety requesting him not to allow
Yvette GGtlbert to appear here.
No attention was paid to the communica-

letter to every member OF the Christian

theaters vile resorts, and says:

Northeast Citizens Want to Employ a
Special Attorney In Railroad Cases.
President Tucker Of the Northeast WASH
ington Citizens Association renewed his
request today for permission to employ
an assistant attorney for the prosecution
of the railroad cases.
1t is the purpose of the association to
have some one enga ged who will be able
to devote bis entire attention to these
prosecutions and see that they are prop
erly pushed to a conclusion.
There is no intention, Mr.. Tucker said, to
supersede the attorney for the District, "but
IL there can be special counsel employed in
the street extension cases we can see no
reason why we cannot have the same priv
ilege to be similarly represented on this
ISSUE"
The board declined the tender when first
presented, but the association authorized
Mr.. Tucker to make another effort to obtain
the privilege.

! TRAGIC END TO Lice,
Awful struggle in "a Torrent tnAe
swept n Man to Sure Death.

Sv,1 StrurrIe IN a Torrent thAc
SweDt =. Man to Sure Death.
THE most tragic death that mas oc-
Cured in this country recently was
that of Chief Engineer William A. Al
len. of the Maine Central Railroad.
Those who witnessed it will never re-
cover from the horror OF the scene
they looked upon from the bridge over
Lewiston Falls.
Mr.. Allen was on his way from PORT
land to Lewiston. AS the tram passed
onto the bridge he stepped out upon
the rear platform to glance at some
work that was being done on the slue-
walk of the bridge. The train was
moving quite rapidly as MI. Ailen
reached the platform. Just at that III
slant one of the uprights at the slde
of the bridge struck him on the head.
He fell forward, clutched wildly at the
railing at the side of the car missed
it and was hurled downward, clear OF
the bridge.
A number of workmen had seen the
accident and stood aWe-struck, peer
ing down into the tossing waters De-
meath them. They seemed to be de-
priyed of motion by the suddenness
and horror of the tragedy taking place
before their eyes.
At the point from which Mr. Allen
was hurled to his death the railroad
bridge is fifty feet above a dam. Be-
fore he struck the water the unfortu-
nate man rebounded from the pole OF
the bridge and then plunged down
ward into the waters seething under
the onlookerS felt that he had lost
every chance for life, but, to their
amaZement. they saw him come to the
surface of the mad torrent and strug-
GLE wildly against the food that sought
to 0vcrWhelm him.
1t was the fight of a desperate but
brave and powerful man against I'M
possible odds. Stunned as he had been
by the blows he had received in his
descent, his strength was marvellous.
Time and again he seemed to buffet
the waves with the fervour of hope.
But those who watched him knew that
he was doomed.
To the men upon the bridge it seem
cd as if Mr.. Aliens struggle for exist
ence lasted long time. but the truth

only momentary. Almost instantly the
merciless torrent swept him onward
through the rapids until he reached

aract. For nearly 500 feet he was
hurled against jagged rocks by his pit
less foe. His fate seemed certain, but
for another moment the spectators
hoped against hope that by some
method he would still be able to ex-
tricate himself from his threatening
environment.
Suddenly above the foam of the
whirlpool they saw upstretched a hand
and arm. Then the dancing waters
were all that their eyes could follow,
and they knew that the man who had
fought SO hard for life had been hurled
over the cataract and would be nc
more seen alive.-NeW York World.
