A Story of Reaconsfield.

Lord Beaconsfeld was in theory a
female suffragist. But his Irritation was
of very platonic character, for, al
though he'had often the power to give
practical effect to his pious opinion, he
took care never TO do so. Once the oppo-
sltlon leaders were very anxious to find
out what course he INTENDED to pursue in
regard to a certain matter. They turned
loose upon him well known political
beauty. Shetalked and talked, he gazed
and gazed. At length she asked him.
He pressed her hand, looked unutterable
admiration and observed, pretty dar-
ling! l remember how my admiration
for Lord Beaconsfield rose when I first
heard this tale. London Truth. =

ECHO OF A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
First of the Cases Growing Out OF an Iowa
Railroad Wreck.


Railroad Wreck.
Sioux CITY, Ia, May l2.-The first
of the cases growing out of the terrible
railway accident on the Northwestern
road at Logan, Ia, 10 months ago, is
about ready to go before jury at Ona-
wa, Monona county. just south of here.
The suit is brought by J. j. Fitzgib-
bons. of Missouri Valley, Ia, who re-
ceived permanent injuries in the wreck
of the Union Pacific pioneers special
train.
His case is peculiar from the fact that
he was not hurt in the main accident,
but while engaged in the work of res.
cue. He was driving home in buggy
from Logan when he saw the wreck oc.
cur. He hurried to the spot, worked
desperately in behalf Of the injured
passengers, and while attempting to
raise heavy BEEN which pinned down
an injured passenger, himself fell and
received injuries for which he demands
$50 900.
A curious feature developed by the
testimony is the fact that the Union Pa.
cific in its annual report of death losses
fails to notice the Logan disaster. be-
cause, although it's cars were used, the
train was pulled by Northwestern en-
CINE. was under the management of
Northwestern officials, and wrecked on
the Northwestern track. The North
western, Oh the other hand, ignores the
accident because Union Pacific cars
were used Not to mention the in
jured, % people were killed outright in
the wreck.

GLIB SOLICITORS ARRESTED.
Were Taken Into Custody at Wilkes

D. j. Stead and H. McMullen were
arrested in Wilkes-Barre yesterday
and held under $1,000 bail each on
charges of swindlng Scranton and
Wilkes Barre merchants. The arrests
were directed by the police of this city.
The scheme of the two men had the
virtue of novelty. In the city several
weeks ago they visited leading busi-
ness men in the guise of agents for
the local labor union, which they said
We're making preparations for a great
state convention of the organization,
to be held in this city in the near

ness men was to purchase space
lad" in the official programme. They
had with them a bogus blank pamph-
let, inscribed in certain spaces which
sold for certain prices. The scheme
worked most successfully.
The police say that the two secured
about $1OO in this city in a few days.
The local unions heard of the fake,
and twice warnings" We're printed in
the papers.
The arrest at Wilkes Barre was af-
fected through descriptions given by
the local police. Down there the ia
kris heralded a supposed state con-
vention of the Brotherhood of En-
gineers. Both men are middle aged
They were placed in the Luzerne coun-

MISCHIEVOUS BOYS.

The extent of the mischief of some
boys seems too unlimited. For soms
time past several boys whose ages
range from 10 to 10 years, have perpet-
rated all sorts of mischief about the
premises of David Thomas, who keeps
a small grocery store on Archibald
stI Get. On a recent evening, however
the boys carried these petty acts to a
dangerous point. While Mr. Thomas
was stabling his horse in the barn for
the night he was surprised, and mar
rowly escaped being struck, by a show
or of stones which Were rurled through
the open door. Mr.. Thomas picked up
three of the missiles, each of which was
as large as a mans hand, and is keep
ing them. as mementoes. Had Mr..
Thomas, who is well on i'm years, been
struck, serious results might easily
have resulted. Some Of the boys are
known to Mr.. Thomas and if their
seemingly malicious mischief does not
cease, legal steps will be taken.
