THE TRAIN RAN UNCONTROLLED
The Locomotive Engineer Found Dead in His Cab.

Binghamtcn, N. Y., Oct. 30.-Erie
 train No. 2, from Buffalo to New York, ran from this city to Susquehana early this morning without guidance at the rate Of a mile a minute. The train left the station at :5S o'clock. When Great Bend was reached, the fireman, Ccwzill, noticed the bell was not rung
 or the whistle blown. The locomotive was of the Mother Hubbard" build, | the engineer being separated from the l fireman.
 Gradually the speed Of the train in- creased until mail pouches were hurled from their racks and passsn-
 gers were obliged to cling to their
 seats. The fireman crawled over the swaying engine boiler to the engineers cab and found the door fastened.
 Breaking it open, he found the en-
 ginesr, Henry Kingsley, stretched cn the f1oor in a peel of blood, dead. the top Of his head crushed in and part of his face torn off.
 , The engine was slowed down and the man taksn to Susquehana, where he lived with his family. He was 50 years cd and enc of the oldest men on the road. It is supposed the acci- dent was caused by the eng n aer's h5ad coming in contact with a water tank at . curve in the railroad near the state hospital, in this city.

THE LEGISLATIVE SITUATION.

From the talk we hear among the
people in general, there is going to be
more than usual interest taken in the
legislative contest this year. The
people feel that for the past eight
years, this Legislative district has not
received the attention it deserved at
the hands Of the state Legislature and
now at length they are beginning to
discover the reason.
With but one exception the legisla-
lures have been republican and this
district has not sent men there as re-
presentatives and senators who were
in harmony with the ruling majority
and hence they have failed to secure
deserved recognition.
With the coming election there is
liable to be a change. The republic-
ans have placed in the field a ticket
composed of as good material as can
be found. All three nominees are ex-
cellent men, public spirited, we'll in
formed, able and energetic. The yot-
ers will do what is in the best interests
of the district by electing them

MILITARY HIGHWAYS.
ast Would Solve the Problem in
the keystone State.

; An elaborate system of good high
ways for Pennsylvania is proposed by
Arthur Kirk, of Sharpsburg, Pa. AS the
constitution of that state says there
shall be no state debt created except for
military PURPOSES" he proposes that the
state create complete system of mil-
itary roads, which shall traverse the
state from cast to west in parallel lines
40 miles apart, and in like manner from
north to south. These military high
ways are not to utilize old roads, but
are to be laid out new under the most
expert supervision; be constructed in
the best manner; have no grade greater
than three per cent, no matter what
grading may be required, and to be
from 40 to 60 feet wide.
The whole charge of building and
maintaining these highways Is to be in
the hands of the secretary of internal
affairs, who is to have three competent
civil engineers as his counselors. All
applicants for positions of engineers in
charge of the construction of these
roads. are to be rigidly examined be-
fore they can be appointed. The aec-
retary is to appoint court to hear all
claims and award damages for property
taken for the construction of the roads.
Before each section of road is COM
pleted, the secretary is to sell at public
auction the right to lay and use q
double track street railway on it for
transporting freight and passengers,
for period of 20 years, and money re-
ceived from this source is to become
part Of the road-building fund.
Before the end of November of each
year, the secretary is to notify the state
treasurer how much will be required
for the following year, which sum shall
not exceed $12,0QO,000. On the irst
Tuesday of each month, the treasurer
shall sell at public auction 20-year three
percent. state bonds, to an amount not
exceeding $l,oo0,ooO per month, until
the sum required by the secretary is
obtained.
Such highways are expected to bere-
Fit the people SO greatly that they will
demand that they be built but 20 miles
apart, and then ten and then five. Mr..
Kirk has given the road question much
attention both here and abroad. His pro-
posed military road law has been
printed with full explanations.

For speech has myriad tongues for evory day,
And song but one; ; and law within the breast

There is better way.

And walks straight paths, however others stray,
And leaves his sons, as uttcrmost bequest.
A stainless record, which all mon may read;
This is the better way.
