South Side, last night just this side
of No. 1. coal schutes. Mr.. Duffy is
a man nearly sixty years old and his
hearing is slightly defective. He was
enroute to the central city and was
walking the tracks when the train
bore down upon him. on account of
the darkness he could not see it ap-
preaching and being deaf he did not
hear 1t until 1t was almost upon him.
He made a move to get out of the
tracks and was party successful. How
ever, the front car struck him and
threw him some distance.
He was picked up unconscious with
his skull crushed ana one of his limbs
broken. The train hands placed him
on board a car and he was taken to
the Seventh avenue station, from
where he was conveyed to the hospital.
1t was impossible to tell last night
Just how serious his injuries were,
but his recovery is hoped for.

When the word was passed to hoist
away on the falls Sampson was very
much displease1 with the listlessness
of the crew.
Look alive there, you men! You
trail along like lo- of lubberly mourn
ers hired to follow a Hirdoo funeral!"
None of the boys knew how Hindoo
lubbers trailed at funerals; indeed.
have an idea that Mr.. Sampson was
equally ignorant, but all the same the
boys were mad and showed it by slack
ening up.
Mr.. Sampson was beside himself with
anger. Three times were the boats
lowered to the water. Just before he
gave the word the last time to hoist
away he shouted:
"Ill blacklist every mothers son Of
you from liberty on shore if there is
any more of this hang-dog work. Hoist
away there, now!"
The men were now on their mettle.
Liberty ashore is one grand prize Of
the man-o-wars man, but Jacky is
not going to buy it, With one accord
the long line started on a slow-mans
race up the quarter deck, noisily
tramping to the time of the Dead
March in Saul" Mr.. Sampson looked
as if he was about to jump off the
bridge and lay about him with his
trumpet. Fortunately at that moment,
Mr.. Dewey came up the after hatch-
way, attracted by the unusual noise.
Taking in the situation at a glance,
he sprang up the steps leading to ths
bridge.
"Tll take the deck, sir" he said.
Mr.. Sampson handed over the speak,
ing trumpet and retired to the other
end of the bridge with a very sullen
look.
"Belay that, you mem" Mr.. Dewey
called out in a short, firm tone. The
hoys halted and looked up. Mr.. Dewey
looked down the line FOR q moment,
cool, quiet and smilingly confident.
There was at once a very pcrceptible
change in the moral temperature.
The boats We're again lowered to the
water.
Man the falls, my men"
The long lines were grasped with a
hearty grip, the men nodding to one
another approvingly.
Hoist away, there!"
With a CHEEKY stride the men walked
away with the falls with such good
will that the four cutters came lying
up the daVits with a celeritY that
threatened to send them inboard.
Delay all. Pipe down the watch be-
low, boatswain!"
The boys scampered off to the fore-
castle to get their usual evening
smoke, while Mr.. Dewey, after p few
words in an undertone to Mr.. Samp-
son, went below, leaving that officer
a wiser and possibly better man.

OUR COMING BIG NAVY.
Its Armor Plate and Projectiles to
Be Pennsylvania Made.

Colonel w. A. Stsne at Pittsburg.
1t must crafty every patriotic citi-
zen of Pennsylvania to contemplate
the uphuilding of navy which shall
be second to none in the world. The
late war with Spain has demonstrated
the superior capacity and seamanship
OF the American sailors. They have
covered themselves with glory Here
after nothing can impede the progress
and growth of our American navy.
Our great length OF sea coast, our
large seaport cities, demand for our
own protection an increased navy. The
war with Spain foreshadows great re-
suits for this nation. Our exports will
largely increase. Cur markets in for
eign countries will take the surplus
products of our own. We are now in
line to be rated as the foremost nation
of the world. AS we were followed by
great prosperity at the close of the
Civil war, so there will come great
prosperity to us as a nation from the
results of our war with Spain. We
have forced the nations of the world to
recognize us as a great military and
naval power
1t was wise, thoughtful and proper
that the Republlcan party OF this state
i'm its last convention should declare
for an increased navy. Let our ships
multiply upon the seas, armored with
the best armor, provided with the best
guns; let their officers and crews be
composed of fearless American hearts,
proud of their record in the past and
confident of victory in the future, and
let us show to the world that our re-
publican form of government is super
ior to any other because 1t has for it's
bulwark the confidence and support of
the people of this country. We, as
Pennsylvanians must reflect with pride
that every projectile that was fred at
Spanish ships was made in Psnnsyl-
vania, and every pound of armor plate
that shielded our ships from Spanish
guns was made in Pennsylv9nia.

SAMPSON AND DEWEY.
A Little Incident Illustrating the
Difference Between the Two.

oCl"Cch TIE IWOs
From the San francisco Chronicle.
A letter recently received from Aug
ust II. Runge, an apprentice boy on
the Colorado in the sixties, but now
assistant chief engineer of the Min
neapolis fire department, recalls a case
in point. | give it here as illustrative
of the difference between Rear-Ad-
miral George Dewey and Commodore
William II. Sampson in the capacity to
handle men:
We were off Palermo, Sicily. The
crew of the Colorado had a surfelt OF
drill during the day and were inclined
to be little sulky. You must bear in
mind that we had the reputation OF
having the best-drilled ship in Euro
pean waters, barring neither class nor
nation. This reputation was not gained
by flying a gold-painted sign at our
mizzen truck. 1t was due to the ad-
mirable management of Mr.. Dewey as
executive officer and to the pride the
men took under him in perfecting their
work by continuous. painstaking drills.
At sunset on the day in question the
watch below was called up for boat
drill. Mr.. Sampson had the deck.

BASE BALL AT FARvIEW.

The "Hobson Choice" base ball team
Of this city ran up against the Way
mart Deweys at Farview yesterday af-
ternoon and sustained defeat of 6 to
2. The game was an interesting one
throughout and abounded in brilliant
plays by the local outfielders. The
locals were rather weak with the stick
and it is probably due to this that they
lost the game. The features of the
game was Buss' twirling and Connor's
phenomenal catch of fly ball at centre
