Jumped the Track.

Pittsburg, Pa, March pa serious
freight wreck occurred this morning at
Selma, on the West Penn Railroad.
about thirty miles from Pittsburg. For
tunately no one was hurt, the crew es-
capped by jumping, but a number of cars,
together with their contents, were de
stroyed, entailing a heavy loss. The
cause OF the wreck could not at first be
learned, the tracks having been torn up
Tor distance of 800 or 400 yards, but it
is supposed that the accident resulted
from an obstruction on the track. Seven
freight cars loaded with valuable mer.
chandlse were destroyed
Shortly after the accident took place
the wrecked cars took fire and addition
al damage was the result, 1t is thought
that the loss to the railroad company
will reach $40, 200. Most of the day was
required to clear the tracks, and trains
were not running on regular time. Pas
sengers were transferred in the neighbor-
hood of the wreck this evening.

Ogden, Utah, March 2S As the
westbound passenger train of the South
ern Pacific was near the extre me north
ern point of the great Salt Lake last
night. wildcat sprang into the cab,
landing beside the fireman. The cat
was bewildered for a moment by Its
strange surroundings and the roar of the
train, and then began vicious attack
on the fireman.
Engineer Fred Freelich came to MS
aid with a shovel, whereupon the animal
sprang upon Freelich, sinking its claws
into his face and shoulders. The beast
clawed, bit and scratched with fury I'M
til Freelich succeeded in beating it off,
when it sprang out of the cab The
flesh on Freelich's hands and face was
torn to shreds, and when the train
stopped at Terrace he was neaaly dead.

A Policeman ElOirOcuted.

Newark, y. J. March % Policeman
John Clark, of the Harrison police de
partment, attempted to dislodge a dang
ling telegraph or telephone wire which
rested against an iron post on Harrison
avenue yesterday. When he touched
the wire 1t swung toward him and hit
him in the face. The next moment he
was corpse in the arms of Sergeant
Kennedy, who had been standing be
hind him. The wire had been resting
against live wire above, and Clark re-
ceived the full shock of about 5000
volts. He did not utter a groan, so
quickly did death come The only
mark left by the wire was vivid streak
across the left cheek.

LEONARD RHoNE, worthy master of
the Pennsylvania State Grange, was at
Harrisburg on Monday to arrange for a
hearing before the house ways and
means committee on the State tax con-
ference bill. Chairman ROLES will
probably fix Tuesday a week to hear the
legislative committee of the State grange
and ex-Auditor General Niles, of Tioga,
in support of the measure. Mr.. Rhone
says that if the other great interests of
Pennsylvania represented in the con-
ference continue to withhold their sup
port from the measure the grangers will
bolt and make the fight alone for a
change in the State revenue system.

The report comes from Washington,
says the Pittsburg Post, that the mana
gers in control of the Dingley bill in the
house propose to check importations,
now going on to very large extent in
anticipation of Its passage, by some
sort of legislation of an ex post facto
character, forbidden, of course, by the
constitution, but which the importers
Will have to go to law to have declared

embarrass legitimate trade and COM

more immoral than this could be con-
ceived. 1t is stated in the dispatch
from Washington that "a general feel

There may be such feeling among the

The silver men of the Senate are
showing no disposition whatever to i'm
pede tariff legislation, or to do aught. in
fact, to prevent the responsible Republi-
can majority in Senate and House from
havin G their way. Senator Teller de-
clares thot everybody is willing to give
the administration ample opportunity to
restore good times. If this can be ac-
complished by the passage of new tar

II this method fails, Mr.. Gage may try,
in the words of Senator Teller, to pro-
mote prosperity by Withdrawing green
backs and contracting the currency.
The third and last plan, if it can be
called plan at all, would be, in the
view of the silver leader, for Mr.. Nc
kinley to try his currency commission.
And Mr.. Teller submits that if this
should fail the administration might
fairly be presumed to be at the end of
its rope.

The ceremonies which are to attend
the dedication of the Grant memorial in
New York on April % next promise to
be of imposing magnifcence. Particu-
larly will the naval parade, which is to
be feature of the ceremonies, partake
of the character of an international dem
onstration if the invitations issued to
foreign Governments by our State De
partment to take part in the same by
representative vessels of their fleets
should be generally accepted. There is
no reason in the world why they should
not be. The United States has never
been remiss when similar invitations
came from other Governments, and one
compliment deserves another. A man
of-war's voyage has been aptly described
as extending from anywhere to nowhere
and back again, and trip to the Hud-
son would therefore not be much out of
the way for the participating battleships.
Moreover the squadrons of Europe
would certainly be better employed in
doing honor to the memory of a hero
In America than in bnmbarding Christ
ans "a Crete.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1897-04-02

''IF an American ship wants to trade
in Crete what will the government do
about it?'' is the question now agitating
a large part of the public mind. Crete
being a country with which nobody is at
war and which the powers have block
aided. 1t isa question which is likely
to disturb the government very little,
for before it can come to its notice in
an official wa y the blockade is likely to
be ended. There is little doubt as to
what ought to be done, but it Is not
necessary to cross that bridge now.
Thus far the new foreign policy seems
to be working admirably. Americans
imprisoned in Cuba are being released
and there is possibility that the right
of American vessels to proceed to Cuba
with munitions of war for Cubans ol
anybody else who wants them will be
recognized. This is as important as the
recognition of belligerency.

A Paterson Husbands Joke.

Paterson, n. j., March 26 John
Van Lerstandt appeared before Justice
Levy to-day on the complaint of his
wife, who says he frequently imprisons
her In large bureau drawer. He bored
holes In the back of the bureau to allow
the passage of air, and when he put his
wife IN the drawer he locked it keeping
her there, she says, five hours at time.
She said he was not of a quarrelsome

fair as joke. Van Derstadt promise d

So great is the change of sentiment
among manufacturers as to the policy
of free raw materials that if the Dingley
Tariff bill had been postponed till the
regular session of Congress in December
next the industrial revolt against it
might have quelled its champions in the
Committee on ways and means. The
fear that the manufacturers were becom-
ing rapidly reconciled with the present
tariff had much more to do with this
hasty action than the pretended need
of revenue.

and the British bark Benkholme are
missing. All hope for the Lord Dufferin

have perished.
Both vessels were in the vicinity Of

of the theories advanced is that the

The blaze started in the rear of the building and spread rapidly Illuminating the entire business district of the city. The fire men managed to check the fire, al though only shell was left. The rail- road people saved their property in the station and the Adams Express com pany rescued all Of their packages. The building was constructed in 1858 and has been to Lowell what Faneiul hall is to Boston. It was here that the body of the late General B. F. But Ter was laid in state and here many historic gatherings occurred. It is im- possible to estimate the loss at present. The city owned the building.

THE RULES OF THE HOUSE.
Proposed Additions to the Prerogatives of
 the Minority.


 Washington, Dec. 14-A new code of rules for the house of representatives will be presented by Speaker Reed and his associates on the committee on rules after the holiday recess. At pres ent the house is proceeding under the rules of two years ago, these having been adopted pending the framing of new rules. The present purpose is to readopt the old rules without important changes.
 Representative Barrett, rep, of Mas sachusetts, is to be given a hearing at an early day on two amendments which he proposes. One of these seeks to give the minority larger rights than it en- joys at present in presenting amend ments and substitutes, and in securing time during debate. Although not 9 member of the democratic minority MT. Barrett says that, as a matter Of fair ness. the rules should be changed so as to give the minority an opportunity to be heard, and have it's propositions voted upon during the consideration Of every question. He is also urging a change by which an amendment to an appropriation bill will be in order when the subject has been acted on favor ably in either house or has been recon- mended by the head of a department. At present the rules are very strict against amendments of this character.
