stone Of the arch upon which his admins
tration will rest recalls the fact that it
was Mr.. Cleveland's selection of Judge
Walter Q. Gresham for secretary of state
of the present administration which was
first given to the public. As secretary Of
state Mr.. sherman will round out u bril-
liant public career which began forty-two
years ago in the house of representatives
and has covered four terms in the lower
branch Of congress and six terms in the
upper house, besides four years at the
head of the treasury department. under
MIR. Hayes administration.
1t is significant in connection with the
knowledge that Mr.. Sherman will be sec
rotary of state that General Russell A.
Alger, of Michigan, while here a few DAYS
ago had a conference with the Ohio SEN
ator at which it is understood all their
past differences were adjusted and recon
ciled. This strengthens the belief that
General Alger is also to be a member of
Mr.. Mckinley cabinet, the post he is TO
fill being that Of secretary of war. Re

the name Of Senator Hawley, of Connecti-
cut, with this portfolio.
As the fact that Senator Sherman was
to be secretary of state was not generally
known in Washington last night it ocoa-

KILLED ON A
RAILROAD !
A Waterman Met Death at His Post
Of Duty.
HIS DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS.
He First Stepped out Of the Way Of the
Train That Killed Him on to a Side
Track and walked to His
Death Near the Switch.

A sad accident occurred at an early hour
this morning, on the Lehigh Valley railroad,
near the red bridge, by which John Nc
Donald, of North Plum alley, met his death.
Mcdonald was employed as Waterman on
the railroad. He had held the position for
seven years and was a sober, careful and dill
gent man, SO that at first his friends refused
to credit the news that he had been killed on
the railroad.
The circumstances Of the accident were that
Mcdonald was walking eastward on the west
bound track of the railroad Wien he heard
the approach of the east-bound miners train
that leaves town at $40 a. m. for the run
to Mahonoy City and Delano. The train was
in charge of Conductor Koch and Engineer
Schoup. Mcdonald stepped from the main
track to the siding a little east Of the red
bridge, and which is used to run coal trains
to the Kelley Run c%olliery, and continued
walking eastward on the siding until he al
most reached the junction of both tracks,
when the train struck him. 1t is believed
that he became momentarily absent minded
and supposed the train had passed him. The
train was stopped and the crew hurried back
to the unfortunate man. They found him
dead. Death had been instantaneous. The
pHly mdIA upon buo DOuJ WAS on Oub SLUG OF
the head, where one of the cars had struck
and fractured the skull. He was knocked
from the main track and escaped mutilatiou
by the wheels of the cars. The remains were
picked up and brought back to town on a
freight train.
Mcdonald was 90 years of age and is sur
vived by his wife and seven children, the
youngest being a boy seven years of age. He
had been connected with the section gangs on
the Lehigh Valley railroad for about twenty
years and never met with an accident be-
fore the one through which he met his death.
1t has been enormously stated that the
accident was due to a cave-in on the railroad
and that in avoiding the breach Mcdonald
stepped upon the only track in use and in
the front of the train. The cave-in
is near Yatesville and about a quarter of a
mile east Of the place where Mcdonald was
killed. 1t is a large one and extends under
the east-bound track, rendering it useless for
traffic and one track is in use for several
hundred yards east of that point. A large
gang of navvies was engaged to-day in fill
ing the breach with chin taken from one of
the Packer collieries.

JOHN SHERMAN
IS THE MAN.
The Ohio Statesman Will Head McKin-
ley's Cabinet.
GOSSIP AEENT THE WAR PORTFOLIO
General Russell A.. Alger, Of Michigan, and
Senator Hawley, Of Connecticut, Now
Spoken Of for the Succession to
Secretary Lamont.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 14-Speculation as
TO who would be the Ohio member in the
cabinet Of the president-elect has persist
emily lowered about the names of Sena-
tor sherman and Hon. Mark Hanna, the
chairman of the national committee, the
former being mentioned in connection
with the state and treasury portfolio and
the latter in connection with the head Of
the treasury and postofice department. 1t
has been known for some time, however,
that Mr.. Hanna's ambition was a seat in
the United States senate. The retirement
of Ohio's veteran senator to accept the
position Of premier in Mr.. McKinley's
cabinet will probably open the way to a
qualification Of this ambition.
Mr.. Sherman's term as senator would
expire two years hence, March 4, 1899.
The vacancy created by Mr.. Sherman's
retirement will be filed by appointment
by Governor Bushnell, pending the as
sembling Of the Ohio legislature in Janu-
airy, 1895. 1t is understood that the old
war in Ohio between the Sherman and
Foraker factions has ceased, and that
complete harmony has been restored
among the leaders. This carries with it
the strong implication that Governor
Bushnell will appoint Mr.. Hanna to the
vacancy in the senate when Mr.. Sherman
steps out to assume the grave responsible
tiles connected with the head of the de-
partment Of state.
Senator Sherman declines to make u
statement relative to the important an
nouncement which was made last night,

Electric Bells With the Return system at
the Hotel Franey.
Mr.. j. J. Franey, proprietor of the Hotel
Frauey, this town, has entered into negotia-
tions with the Smith-Blake Electric Co. and
Glass Sign Works, of Waverly, N. Y, through
their manager, J. A.. Holmes, to place in the
Hotel Franey q double system Of electric
bells with a return call to and from each
room. This same firm is also to place in the
public office of the hotel a large city
directory containing the business card of
only one of each branch of business in this
town, and the leaders are to be represented
This will be in a large fine frame in solid
polished oak, while the lettering will be in
cut glass. The electrical work will be done
by experts. Not an inch of wire will show
after the work is completed, as they are all
concealed in the hollow walls. The best of
material is to be used. The a~nnunciator is
to be the celebrated Patrick and Carter, and
the wire is triple insulated and IS per cent.
copper. This will be the only hotel in this
town with a return system. Mr.. Franey is
to be highly commended in his spirit of
progressiveness in this outlay of money for
the comfort and convenience of his guests.
The travelling public will greatly appreciate
this much needed improvement, for no
travelling man likes to retire to his room
without a bell in it so in case of fire he can
be aroused instantly from the office.
This firm has wired nearly 200 hotels with
this system within a year. Manager Stemp-
son has brought the Hotel Franey up to a
high degree of excellence since his occupancy,
as he is ever ready to cater to the wishes and
comfort of his guests.
The table menu is fine under the manage
ment of superior chefs.
The travelling public are fast finding out
the reputation of the Hotel Franey and as a
consequence the rooms of this hotel are
scarcely, if ever, empty.

30, were instantly killed, and Theodore
Fraunkenstein, aged 16, fatally injured at
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron oompany's new shaft at Vaudeville
yesterday.
They composed part Of the day shift,
and stood on the rim Of the iron bucket to
be lowered to the bottom Of the shaft, a
distance Of 900 feet. The rope passed
through q heavy cross head made of angle
iron, which served as a guide for the rope.
After they had descended about 500 feet
the cross head fell, crashing on top Of the
bucket and p-recipitating the four men and
boy TO the rocky surface below, a distance
Of about 275 feet.
The bodies Of the four men, which were
horribly mangled, were removed to their
respective homes. Fraunkenstein was
taken TO the Pottsville hospital, where he
died soon after. John Taylor had never
seen the bottom Of the shaft, yesterday
being his first day to enter the workings.

A BigOted Loafer Spit in the Lady's Face
Last Evening.

- 1AbDSOu GuaAbE SPIT IN the IH0K'g Face
Last Evening.
Mrs. BoEart, wife Of Superintendent c. d.
Bogart, was UNANIMOUSLY insulted on North
Main street last night by a loafer whose name
Is not positively stated, but the description
given Of him leaves little doubt as to his
identity in the minds of some people.
Mrs. Bogart states that she was walking
down Main street when she noticed five
young men in front of her and walking in
the opposite direction. When about in front
of Burkhart's store Mrs. Bogart stepped
aside to allow them to pass. Four did so,
two passing on the inner side and the other
two on the other. The fifth passed close to
Mrs. Bogart, and in doing so turned his head
and spat violently into her face. Mrs. Bogart
carried a satchel in one hand and held her
cloak closed with the other. Had her hands
been free she would undoubtedly have
slapped tho loafer in the face. She mo-
mentarily stopped and glared at her insuIter.
One of the young men exclaimed in re-
proachfuI tones, Pete what are YOU
doing ?" The loafer who had spst in the in
offensive woman's face replied, II amt doing
anything to her" Mrs. Bogart saws she
continued down the street. She was made
exceedingly nervous by the incident and
sOugnV momentary rest at a store, after
which a gentleman escorted her home. The
i've young men walked up Main street, and
then turned and walked back to the post
office building.
Mrs. Bogart gives a description of her in.

only by the name Pete" which was adj
dressed to the offender by his companions.
The description is given as follows: Young
man dark hair face broad at the eyes /;
broad and projecting jaws short and thick
set wore a dark overcoat and dark Derby
hat.

The District Attorney yesterday had a
capias issued to bring Harry Becker, editor
aud publisher of the Girardville Item. into
court for sentence. 1t will DO remembered
that over a year ago Becker was brought into
court on a charge of libel and for using his
newspaper to generally abuse those whom
he did not like. The case was called before
Judge Savidge at that time, who gave the
young man a severe lecture and a nominal
sentence, Becker promising never to
again make the columns of his paper
a source through which to berate his
enemies. Judge savidge warned Becker that
if he again broke out" he would be brought
into court and sentenced. He has broken
out again and complaint has been made be-
fore Judge Savidge, who directed Becker be
brought before him for sentence. This
morning Becker was arraigned before the
Judge, but upon an earnest application by his
lawyer action in the case was postponed until
next Saturday morning.
