Wattcr.on Knows Him.

All of his life an officeseeker and an
officeholder, he differs from the riff
raff Of his class only by his high pre-
tensions and profound duplicity. He
hopes in the hurly-burly Of affairs to
force himself first upon the party and
then upon the country as the represen-
tative OF clean politics and the public
order. He represents neither. He rep
resents only his own lust for Office

Exports OF gold last week amounted
to nearly 81, 5000 day. This figure
has not been reached before since that
fatal February when the treasury
trembled upon the verge Of suspension
OF gold payments and Mr.. Cleveland
was compelled to make a hasty con-
tract ut pawnbrokers' interest with the
New York bankers to get the So, 000.-
600 necessary to replenish the gold re-
serve. OF course, the cause is very
different now. Then the balance Of
trade was in our favor and there was
no commercial reason for exports.
Gold was sent abroad because foreign
creditors demanded 1t for American Sc
curities, which they weresending home
because they doubted our ability or in
tention to pay them, when due, in the
money Of the world.
The cause OF the present movement
Is purely commercial, though 1t Is not
strictly natural. The distrust that
brought our securities back was remov-
ed by McKinley's election. The treas
ury reserve has surplus Of over $780,
100000, and gold is no longer boarded
in New. York. We can spare gold for
export, and the movement causes no
alarm. Nevertheless, the export is not
natural, and, strictly speaking. not nee
essary. Gold is going abroad to pay for
exports Of all kinds of dutiable articles,
far in excess of the present needs of
the country. In anticipation of increase
of duties of the Dingley bill, importers
are bringing in enough goods OF GER
tain kinds to meet the home demand
for a year or two to come.-Portland

Railroad Horror Averted.


Central Railroad train which left New
had a narrow escape from an awful death.
The fact that no one was injured is little
short of miraculous, for the train jumped
the track while crossing the Passaic river
bridge, and the engine and every one of
the four cars left the rails. The train
was travelling at a speed of twenty miles
an hour across the bridge, the upper part
of which is of steel construction. 1t was
on straight track unbroken by switches
or anything else. When the big draw of
the bridge was reached there was nothing
to indicate danger. 1t was closed and ev-
erything was apparently all right. In
stead of riding over the joint of the rails
as usual, however, the first wheels of the
engine seemed to catch the ends of the
rails on the draw. In an instant the en-
CINE left the tracks, going to the left and
heading slightly toward the center Of the
bridge, tearing up the rails and breaking
the heavy bridge ties as 1t went. The
four cars behind II followed, and as they
bumped along there was a panic among
the passengers. Men shouted and chung
to the car seats; women screamed and
prayed. Some were thrown to the car
floor by the shock, and, quickly scram-
bling to their feet, waited breathlessly for
what for an instant everyone thought was
inevitable, the dropping Of the train into
the river. The engineer shut of power
at the first shock, however, and after
traversing nearly half the length Of the
long draw over the ties the train came to
a standstill and In few seconds the 200
passengers had clambered out of the cars
on to the bridge.

Bripham Youn9,. County.

The reason that many Eastern people
are hocking to Utah now" said Gill s.
Peyton of Salt Lake City to a Washing
ton correspondent, is that the great nat
ural advantages of our State are just be-
ginning to be appreciated by the outside
world. People are sure of being attract
ed to country where irrigation makes
the crops a certainty. In Utah County,
to the south of Salt Lake, there was n
large amount Of land devoted last year to
the cultivation Of the sugar beet, and the
average profit of the farmers therefrom
was $50 an acre. There is still more
money to be made in fruit growing, but
our people have heretofore been too con-
sentative to engage in that business on
an extensive scale Then our mining in
terests have scarcely reached the initial
stage of development. When went into
the Mercur district, six years ago, not a
dollar had been taken out. In 1896 Utah's
mines paid more than 81, 225,O 900 in divi-
dends, but this does not include dividends
and profits paid by close corporations and
mines worked under leases, which amount
to at least 100000. The dividends de-
clared and paid during the month of Feb
ruary of this year reach $259,OOO. Great
as this showing is, it is small in COMPARE
son with what the next few years will
show. 1t is scarcely more than three years
since the great gold fields of Mercur be-
gan to yield their wealth to the new pro-
cess of treating the ores, but since that
wonderful district has demonstrated what
may be done with the ores. many other
properties are being developed. This, Of
course, relates to gold entirely, but 1t is
also a fact that Utah has more dividend
paying silver mines than all the rest of
the world combined"

And still shall suffer-that know right

Than just this life that seems so bare to

Refuse no height which gives a larger

OF seeming inequalities. My voice
l lift in praise, not question. o pursue
Me not with pity, but, with me, rejoice.

NEWS OF THE BIG MEET.
Increase in the Leagues PennsyI-
vania Ranks Is Large.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Philadelphia, June 11.-This years
big accessions to league ranks from
Pennsylvania can be directly traced to
the energizing influences accompany
ing the preparations for holding the
League of the American Wheelmen
national meet in the metropolis of the
state. Since the news of Philadelphia
success in securing the meet was
flashed over the wires the division
membership has been almost doubled.
One year ago the Quaker City con-
tained but one league club; now there
are four, and several other organiza-
tions are endeavoring to secure the
necessary percentage of league men,
bers to warrant the filing of applica-
tions for League American Wheelmen
club certificates.
That abomination, the annual pa
.rade, which at former league meets
has been looked upon as a necessary
evil, will probably be dispensed with,
as it would undoubtedly take up val
liable time, which can be utilized by
the visitors to much better advantage.
That other time-honored nuisance, the
annual photograph" will also prob
ably have to go by the board, the i'm
possibility of any very successful re-
suit with the huge crowd that would
be sure to be on hand having con-
vlnced the executive committee that
the game is hardly worth the candle"
The manufacturers pageant" will
also be conspicuous by its absence
that is to say, the executive committee
will have no hand in the management
Of such an exhibition.

UNCLE ANSON SKEPTlCAL.
Says the Orioles Have Had an Abund-

Uncle AnsOn is skeptical on the prob

though the elderly gentleman hasn't

going to lay few bets that the orioles
don't win the pennant. They struck
their top speed last season. and l,
never in my life. heard of a luckier
team than this aggregation of Han
Ions.
while I'm not one of the luck or
chance-blow philosophers, still / must
say that the Orioles have met with less
hard luck, that is, physical injuries,
than any other team that ever won the
pennant. AS team / don't consider
them as fast as they were last year."

Philadelphia. June 1.-THE commit
tee of the state legislature inquiring
into the workings of the Eastern peni-
tentiary resumed it's session today.
The entire day was taken up with an
investigation of the death of John
Frankford the Lancaster county con-
vict, in Jauary, 1896, and the subse-
uuent treatment of his body. Quite an
array of witnesses from Lancaster
were on hand, among them being Mar
garet and William Rittenhouse, c. 5.
Herr, the Lancaster undertaken; Alex
ander Lopsley. the ex-convict; Charles
M. Howell and H. II. Hensell, the latter
two newspaper men. Dr. John d. Ba-
con, the prison physician at the time,
was also examined.
Mrs. Rlttenhouse, the dead convict's
daughter, testified that on one occasion
when she visited him in prison and
asked him how he was getting along he
replied:
Maggie YOU lifes not your own in
this place.
Witness then spoke of his death and
said she was told it was due to strangu-
lated hernia. She did not see the body
until it was ready for burial, when she
noticed several bruises or cuts on the
head which had been sewed up. John
Rittenhouse told the committee War
den Cassidy refused to allow him to see
the body when he visited the prison
just after the death. When witness
did see it, the stomach had not been
sewed up and some of the bowels pro-
truded. He also testified to a cut
around the skull from temple to tenn
pie.
DIR. BACON'S ADMISSION.
DR.. Bacon admitted having performed
an operation. He took the brain out
for scientific purposes and said thai
Frankford's death was due to strangu,
lated hernia. He said he did not know
whether he had a legal right to per
form the autopsy or not. He presumed
he had the right to do so, because hi:
predecessors had done so.
The committee then adjourned. An.
other meeting may be held next week
