COAST DEFENCEs OF ENGLAND.
Linked Protection bv Wires Which
Center in London.
From Chambers journal.

From Chambers Journal
1t can no longer be said that Great
Britain is unprotected. The coast de-
fences were never more complete or ef-
tiCient. Right around our shores
stretch these many defenccs, not iso-
lated and therefore of little account
but forming a linked protection, with
the telegraph or telephone at hand to
respond at naval headquarters i'm Lon
don to the slightest warning, and from
Whitehall there branch off private
wires to the great arsenals of Ports
mouth, Davenport, Chatham and
Sheerness.
A few words from any point on the
coast be it an isolated coastguard sta
tion or a lonely guardship, may in an
hour or two have led to orders of ma
tional import being flashed over sleep
ing towns and villages to the naval
commanders-in-ch at the coast and
before the outside world knows of inn
pending danger all the machinery Of
defence will be in readiness for any
emergency. That this is no exaggera-
tion those may judge who remember
the hasty commissioning Of the par
tcular service squadron in January,
1896. when the German emperors ill
judged telegram to President Kruger
set England ablaze with anger.
Before even the Times announced the
decision of the government to form this
new squadron, "to do anything and 60
anywhere" as Mr.. Goschcn explained
the telegraph Instruments at Whitehall
had been vigorously ticking, and, un-
known to the public, the admirals at
Chatham, Portsmouth and Devonport
had had their orders. BY the time the
world was awake the preparations for
commissioning the ships had COM
menCed, and in few days a squadron
of powerful modern vessels was fitted
out and ready for any task. When the
necessity arises no less promptly will
the machinery of defence he again put
to the test, possibly on more extern
sive scale.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
John Beckett Found on the q. and
W. Track Saturday.


About o'clock SATURDAY. morning
John Beckett was found dead on the
ontario track near the bridge across
the car shop switches of the Delaware
and Hudson road. The pusher was
going to the yard when the crew
noticed the body lying alongside the
rails. The engine was stopped and oX-
animation showed that the man had
been dead for some time. Word was
sent to Undertaken Purple, who took
charge of the remains. The man was
evidently killed by train, and it is
supposed that the accident occurred
late Friday night. one arm is cut off
near the shoulder and one Of his feet
is gone. 1t is possible that the man
was not killed instantly, hut that he
lay along the track after the accident
and bled to death. Except for the in
juries to his limbs, no serious wounds
are perceptible. None of the train
crews has any recollection Of anything
that would indicate the time of the
accident
Deputy Coroner Spaeth was notified
Of the finding of the body and viewed
the remains. He did not deem an in
quest necessary. as every evidence
showed an accidental death. Nothing
was found on his body by which he
could be identified except n letter. 1t
was addressed to John Beckett, SS
South Canal street. Wilkes Barre, Pa
The letter was dated HazlotOn, May 10,
1898, and read as follows: Mr.. John
Beckett. Wilkes Barre. Dear Sir: Yours
of ninth received. and in reply viii
state that ] cannot ship tools until you
remit me two dollars. (SiCnCD j,
Friedlander" Undertaken Purple has
gone to Wilkes Barre to cndcavor to
locate the mans friends if he has any
there.
The dead man was apparently about
thirty-eight years Of age. He was of
medium height and weight dark COM
plexion, and had a black mOustacho.
1t is possible that he was riding on a
freight or coal train and fell between
the cars. In such case he would
easily have passed unnoticcd, while il
he had been run down while walking
the engine crew would likely have been
aware of the accident. The man bears
a mark on his left side, showing that
he has been the victim of a previous
accident.
L. flntGdu, OF DuHudIl SlIt'l' hHtN
Beckett and says he learned the coop
er,s trade of him. The unfortunate
man was seen on Salem avenue at
o'clock the night Of the accident.
Through Mr.. Fineran it was learned
he had friends down the valley and a
communication was sent to John Law,
of Kingston. His mother was an old
friend of the Beckett family and said
the deceased's parents are buried in
Honesdale. She ordered a Casket Of
Undertaken Purple and John Law sent
word that he would be here today to
arrange for having the remains in
tered at HOnesdalC.
