Leaned to His Death.

A dispatch from Lancaster to The
State says Wednesday night as the train
on the Lancaster and Chester railroad
was approaching the tressle over Fish
ing creek, in Chester county, horse
attached to top buggy suddenly took
the track in front Of the engine and ran
With the speed Of the wind. Engineer
Wall, who was at the throttle, brought
the train to stand still. The horse
by this time could not be seen, having
pursued his break neck speed down the
track. The engineer then cautiously
proceeded on his journey with the train.
On nearing the trestle he discovered the
horse and buggy about 10 feet from the
bank in the trestle. The train was
stopped again. The crew and passen-
gers went to see the strange sight.
While trying to extrlcate the horse
from his perilous position, he made a
plunge and tumblcd over the trestle,
distance of 10 feet, to the ground
below, carrying the buggy with him.
He fell on his head with the buggy top
over him. The horse was killed in
stantly. When found his head was
doubled up under the foreshoulders.
The buggy, Of course, was utterly
wrecked. The horse belonged to Dr.
Jesse \. Clifton of the Fort Lawn Sec
ton of Chester county. The doctor
was calling on a patient and left his
horse unhitched in the yard. He be-
came frightened at the approaching
train and dashed on the track, in front
Of the engine, and the result was as
above stated

Accidents at Sea.

Tie annual report Of Gen. Dunont,
the supervising inspector general Of
steamboat inspection, shows that the
total number of accidents to steam YES
sells during the year was IS, of which
seven were breaking steam pipes and
mud drums, two explosions and eigh-
teen from snags, wrecks and sinking.
The loss of life was 404, an increase
over the previous year of 1913. OF this
number the cause of death in Sc cases
was accidental drowning, 213 from
wrecks, etc., 13 from fire, 81 from colli-
sons, "a from explosions or accidental
escape of steam, and 81 from miscellane-
Gus causes. Of the whole number 15S
were passengers and 246 belong to
crews of vessels. The increase in the
loss of life this year over the year 1897
was due to the loss of the steamer Port
land off the Massachusetts, coast during
gale on the night of Nov. q, 1898,

DREYFUS CONVICTED.
a Sad Miscarriage of Justice in
France,

After short deliberation Saturday
morning, the courtmartial which has
been trying Dreyfus at Rennes, France,
reached that decision, which was an
nounced by it's president, Colonel Jou-
aust. The court stood five to two
against Dreyfus. He is sentenced to
ten years Imprisonment in military
fortress. He gets credit for four years
already served on Devils island and
suffers the same degradation subsequent
to his first trial, when his uniform was
taken from him. The whole tenor Of the
proceedings at the trial for the last few
days has indicated that Dreyfus would
again be convicted. Du Patty de Clam S
escape from cross questioning by Maitre
Labor and the failure to get before the
court the testimony Of Major Paniz-
zardi and Colonel SchWartzkoppen,
the Italian and German military at
taches at Paris, to whom it is alleged
Dreyfus sold French military secrets,
weakened the defense, though promi-
nent Dreyfusards and foreign journal
lists reporting the trial believe his convic-
ton was foregone conclusion. The
anti Dreyfusards are highly elated over
the conviction and have mace demon
strations in many cities in France. The
Dreyfusards are depressed by the ver-
dict and have little hope of anything
favorable to the prisoner resulting from
the appeal his lawyers will make. A
heavy force of troops is massed in Rem
nes and all attempts at disorder will be
nromptlv s1pnressed.

a Wreck in Virginia.

One of the most serious accidents in
the history of the Norfolk and Western
occurred Wednesday morning near
Narrows, station on the Radford divi-
sion. Two coaches of an eastbound
passenger train jumped the track and
rolled down a 30-foot embankment.
Two persons were killed and 2S more or
less injured. All the injured will re-
cover. Their wounds are mostly cuts
and bruises. They were able to be
moved, and some continued on their
journey. A party Of eight were brought
to Roanoke Wednesday night and re-
ceived the necessary medical attention.
1t is said the spreading Of rail caused
the accident. A wrecking train with
physicians from Roanoke was sent to
the scene of the wreck Wednesday
noon. Traffic was delayed only few
hours on account of the wreck.

A Shrewd Trick,

The res dents of one of the suburb:

laborer, who prophesied caterpillar
crop of unusual dimensions and offer,
ed to keep them away for consider
alton. His prophecies were at first
received with incredulity and his pros.

until the caterpillars began to arrive
in large numbers, and then he rapidly
made contracts with many household.

to acquire bank account. Now boy
whom he employed and failed to pay

to go into the w;ods and gather cat

where they would be most effective in
terrifying the inhabitants.

TILLMaN IN RHODE ISLAND.
Talks on Our Foreign Policy, the Ne
gro Question and Free. Silver.

The second meeting of the New Eng
land Bi-Metalllc league at Crescent
was largely attended and representa-
tive members from all the States occu-
pied the rostrum. Resolutions declar-
ing for free silver against militarism
and urging the nomination ". j.
Bryan for president were unanimously
! adopted. Senator Benz. R. Tillman,
Of South Carolina, was then introduced
and his address was punctuated with
cheers throughout. He stated that the
Spanish war was worth all it cost, if it
has proven nothing else than that the
South will fight for the Stars and
Stripes as eagerly as will the North.
He declared that unless the policy OF
the government is changed soon the Re-
public is doomed and will become a
government of oppression Of the many
by the few. He praised New England
for what it had done for the country
but called attention to the fact that
there were people enough south and
west of the Potomac and the Mississip-
pi to elect a president without the
aid Of New England.
He said that while he believed, and
always would, that the Negro is not
tho equal of the white man, still he be-
lieved in giving him his legal rights,
barring the political side. He said the
Negroes did not know enoug h to vote
and in South Carolina the white peo-
pie had succeeded in disfranchising
them until they can read and write.
Mr.. Tillman asked
IF it was right to free Cuba because
Spain was shooting Cubans to death,
how is it to be Teconciled with the fac
that the United States, which now
owned the Philippines shoot the Fiiit
pinos to death.
He said that he believed the presi-
dent is honest in his behalf that he is
doing his duty, but claimed that he on
ly looked at the one fact that the Unit
ed States bought the islands from
Spain. He asked where the honor was
in the Philippine war. The South
and South Carolina will at any time
send as many men in proportion to its
population as any State to any war Of
decency and honor, but it will not
send a regiment to the Philippines.

Gaining in New York.

Bryan clubs are being organized in
every election precinct in Kings coun-
ty," said Mr.. VIM. Bryan, of New
York To my mind that is a very sig
nifcant matter, for while it may not be
done by the express wish of Hugh Nc
Laughlin, the Democratic leader Of
Kings, it must be with his sanction and
approval. Beyond this it goes to show
that the rank and file Of the party in
that county are for the Nebraskan, just
as the mass of Democrats all over New
York state are for him. He is stronger
in New York by far than he was in
1896, and that he will get he electoral
vote in 1900 have not the slightest
doubt

BUILD A PERMANENT ARCH

From the New York Herald.
 Build the Dewey arch; yes, build score of arches to commemorate the victory of the Admiral in Manila bay, but make at least one of these arches an enduring memorial of the great naval commander 5 welcome by the city of New York on his return from his triumphs in the east s.
 When American valor is to be honored New York is never parsimonious. If there be not enough money al the disposal of the Dewey reception committee to erect a permanent arch, let the mayor call the board of estimate together and increase the appropriation for that laudabe pur- pose. 2
 All New Workers will unite in the well come to Dewey, and if the corporation ap propriate the money required to build an enduring, artistic monument all New York CTS will know that they have contributed -uhe arch will be the gift of every man. woman and child in this community.
 If an appeal for funds were made, pri- vate purses would be opened quickly but the Dewey arch should not be the gift of a few-it should be the spontaneous tribute of the whole people of the city.

Chicauo's Trust Conference.

An educational and therefore non-parti- san conference Is to be assembled In Chi cago on September 1s. where is can sit at it's own expense until it is ready to ad- journ. The subject for discussion will be: Trusts and combinations, their uses and abuses-railway, labor, industrial and com- mereial." Here is the full, broad subject, and very many men of standing and in- fiuence will. 1t is said. go up to Chicago to discuss 1t. MT. Bryan is expected, and so are Mir. w. Bourke Cochran and Governor Pingree and President Ingalls, of the Big Four, and Toledo Sam Jones, and Senator Kyle of the national industrial commission, and the intertate commerce commission, and a great array of other prominent and strong men.
 Fifty senators and representatives have asked for seats, and twenty-one governors have already named delegates. Alabama is to be represented by Eyre Damer, Mobile; Gordon Mcdonald, Montgomery; Reed B. Barnes, Opelika; W. w. Quarles, Selma; Wallace HaraIson,. Fit. Payne; E. M. Rag land, Tuscumbia; B. B. Conner, Birmins.. ham. The state delegations will be accom- panied by thirteen governors. Altogether the conference promises to be one of very considerable weight in its makeup, but it is of course uncertain what the weight of It's conclusions will be. It is difficult to see how resolutions can be drafted that
 
 could command the support of for ex- ample, Governor Pingree and President In- gals. It will probably be a cat fight.

Mr. McKlnIeY,s Philippine Pol cl.

Not long ago President Mckinley said that the entire Philippine question rested with the people and their representatives in congress. he being himself but high sheriff or chief executive officer. This hum ole- minded view of the case seemed to suit him. opportunst and time-server as he has always been since he first en- tered politics.
 But he has gone step farther. He has seen light. In platitudes of course and with the indefiniteness that usually characterizes a professional politician, he recently said: Peace, first; then, with charity for all, establish government of law and order, protecting life and prop erty, and occupation for the well-being of the peope-a goverpment In which they shall participate under the stars and stripes
 It is difficult to say what these vague rhcases mean. They were meant to be indefinite and vague. They were meant to
