and is in the very prime of life, being
AZ years old. His father died when he
was 8 years old, and young Draper
went with the family to Albany. His
early education was given him in the
public schools and in the Albany acad-
envy. He then took course Of law at
Union college, Schenectady, and re-
turned to Albany to practice his profess
sion. In this work he continued for
nine years, until President Arthur made
him one of the committee to investi-
gate the Alabama claims. After spend
ing three years in the capital at this
work he returned to Albany and re-
sumcd the practice of law. He was
elected by the legislature as superin-
tendent of the state schools of New
York. AS he had never had any part
in the superintendent of state educa-
ton, or in any educational work what
ever, his selection was opposed by the

people, who were greatly displeased
with the action Of the legislature. But
the good results he had achieved before
the end of his term met with such
hearty approval that he was enthusi-
astically reelected. When the eight
years of his service were at and end the
political complexion Of the legislature
was such as to preclude his election for
a third term, and he was called to be
superintendent of the public school sys-
tenn of Cleveland. It was while in that
position that he was made president of
the University of Illinois.

The Man Who Has GOne to tho SOuUNh

The Anglo-Egyptian expedition up
the Nile is accompanied by a man who
knows more of the country to be con-
Quered and it's people than any other
one in the expedition. This is the
famous Slatin Pasha. who for eleven
years was prisoner of the khalifa. the
successor to the mahdi, in his capital in
the East Soudan. Stains career is one
that is as full of color as that OF any
other traveller in Europe, with the ex-
ception, perhaps, of Henry NJ. Stanley.

been collecting strong force, to which
he will add in anticipation of the APP

captured it will be made the base OF

passed:
WHEREAS, Certain American citizens are i'm
INJURED and tortured in British dungeons for
political offences, and

the immediate restoration to liberty of all men
incarccrated in British prisons for offences
against British domination in ireland that we
believe that these prisoners are entitled to such
liberty by the usage and customs of nations
laying claim to civilization, and that Great
Britain by delaying it, places herself without
the pale of honorable consideration. Be it also
Resolved, That we urge upon our Government
the necessity of taking Immediate steps to
secure the release of these American citizens
and of interesting itself, for the sake of inter
national decencY and common humanity in

BLOWN FROM A TRAIN.

superintendent Bullock, of Audenried, Has
a Remarkable Escape.
When the Lehigh Valley passenger train,
bound from Pottsville to Delano, was max
ing the run between the Vulcan colliery and
Delano Junction at $50 o'clock last evening
it passed through gale that was blowing at
a rate of from 60 to 20 miles an hour. Among
the passengers on the train was Superinten-
dent Bullock, of the Morea collery, who
was homeward bound. At moment when
the gale swept over the train with great fury
Mr.. Bullock attempted to pass from the
smoking car to one of the rear passenger
coaches. He momentarily--released his hold
with one hand on the door knob of the
smoking car to reach out and take hold of
the platform rail, but was caught up by the
gale and swept from the train.
Passengers who observed the accident
promptly notified the conductor, but the
train went some distance before it could be
stopped At the time of the accident it was
running very fast to make up schedule time.
The train was run back and Mr.. Bullock was
found in the ditch beside the track. Every
body on the train expected to find him dead
or very near that point, but his condition
was very much to the contrary He was
dazed by his fight and tumble but only
sustained bruises and slight cuts ON the left
hand, and ON the neck and head. There
were no indications of fractures, or other
serious injuries. Mr.. Bullock proceeded to
his home at Audenried.

THE BOROUGH soU1REs.
The Governor VIII Issue Commissions to
Messrs. LnMlor and Nardin.

mesSrSs LaWlOf anu Naftlus
HARRISBURG, March 5.-Governor Hast
ings, acting under the advice of Attorney
General Mccormick, has appointed Martin J.
Lawlor and John J. Cardin to be Justices of
the Peace in Shenandoah, and Jonathan
Jones and Philip L. Coyle in Mahanoy City
and their commissions will be issued. There
are now five wards in each borough and two
Justices Of the Peace elected in each ward
making twenty Justices in the two boroughs.
The grand juries of Schuylkill county
have called attention to the great number of
trining cases returned 10 the court and the
great amount of costs thereby imposed upon
the county, as well as upon the parties.
These reports did not specifically mention
Mahanoy City and Shenandoah, but Senator
John J. Coyle, who resides at the former
place, being interested in the matter, con
suited Attorney NJ. +. Olmsted, of this city
and obtained from him an opinion that un-
der the constitution and laws applicable to
the case no single ward in either of the bor-
oughs was entitled to elect Justice, and
that only two could lawfully be elected in
each borough, and they must be voted for
by all the wards together and not by or for
any single ward. Therefore, all of the
twenty acting Justices of the Peace were il
legally in office, and there was no legally
elected Justice in either borough.
The fact that the Governor has taken the
action he did, is pretty good evidence that
their,election is considered regular and that
the two boroughs are entitled to but two
Justices.
Itis expected that legal proceedings will
be instituted to oust the twenty SIuires now
dispensing justice in the two boroughs
