FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Four-year-old Boys Miracu-
lous Escape From Death.
SUFFERING FROM SERIOUS INJURY

liiE oOl Helm LANEoc ONl4l
A SHORT TINE BEFORE THE SAD
ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
when the limited express for the
South passed through here about s
o'clock last night, there was a happy
little party aboard. II was composed
of Mrs. John p Bowen. her little girl
and boy, and an infant, who were on
their way to join the husband and
father in Memphis. Tenn.
Now Arthur. the 4-year-old boy, is
lying in critical condition at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore
from injuries received by falling from
the train near Perryman's station,
less than an hour after passing through
Wilmington. The child sustained a
fracture of the skull, has several scalp
wounds and is otherwise injured. He
was unconscious until an early hour
this morning.
The train from which the child fell
was running at a high rate Of speed,
and the child's escape from instant
death was almost q miracle.
At the time of the accident the por-
ter Of the train was taking the child.
with his little sister, from the dining
car to the sleeper, Mrs. Bowen carrying
her infant child. Just as the platform
was reached the boy let 80 the porter's
hand and in ON instant was thrown
from the train.
The porter turned and shouted to
Mrs Bowen that her boy had fallen on
the train. She became nearly frantic
and the passengers near her rendered
what assistance they could. The train
was brought to a standstill near Bush
river and a telegram sent at once to
lPerryman's to look out for the child
In the meanwhile the train had gone
back in search Of the child, but he
could not be found.
The train proceeded to Baltimore
where Mrs. Bowen got on About an
hour later a telegram was received
that the boy had been found and q
Especial train went to Perryman's anC
!, brought him to Union station, Balti
more.
The child had been found near th'
tracks by Richard Simpson, a tract
walker, and taken at once to the offic
of DR.. J. II. stier, at Perryman
who, after examining him, adyise'
i that he be taken TO a hospital.
! Mrs. Bowen followed her child to the
Johns Hopkins Hospital and then wen
to a boarding house with her othel
two children. She sent telegram L
her husband, at No. 40 Madison street
= Memphis, Tenn, requesting him t
come to Baltimore at once, and stating
/ that the chlld's wounds were not fatal
! This was preceded by a Telegram
I earlier in the night telling Mr.. Bower
! of the accident
D Mrs. Bowen was on her way from
I Newark, N. j., to Memphis, Tenn,
e when the accident happened. They hal
e been living in Newark but as MI
, Bowen had secured a position at Mem
phis, they were to make their hom
there.
e Mrs. Bowen was formerly Of Balti

SURVEY WORK IN ALASKA.
Two Parties to Make Explorations
During This Season.

The Secretary of the Interior has ap-
proved the plans of Director Waicott for
the continuation of surveys in Alaska dur
ing the summer of 1899. 1t is proposed that
one party, to consist of Mr.. W. J. Peters,
topographer in charge of party. and Mr.
Alfred H Brooks, assistant geologfst, and
equipped with pack animals and outfit, shall
proceed from Chilkat Inlet along the north
ern side of ST. Elias Range to the head of
White river, and conduct such explorations
as may be feasible to locate the sources of
the Copper, Tanana and Nabesna rivers.
Between the Tanana and the Yukon there
is a range of mountains composed largely
of the gold-bearing schists. Although quite
extensively prospected, but little is known
of this range. The explorations of it will
be by the most feasible route to Eagle City,
and thence westward within the area be-
tween the Tanana and the Yukon. 1t Is ex-
pected that the party will reach point on
the Yukon in September, and return by the
way or St Michael, or If more advantage
Gus, by way of Dawson.
the second party, consisting of Mr.. F. G.
Schrader, assistant geologist, and a topog-
rapher, will proceed down the Yukon to
Fort Yukon. and from there carry forward
explorations north1ard toward the Koyu-
kuk The object Of this party Is to explore
the principal watsrS Of the Koyukuk with

MUSICAL MENTION.

OF the many who have seen the excellent
performance of ''Trilby'' at the Columbia
Tneater this week few were aware that the
piano was played behind the scenes by Mr.
Angelo Fronani. The acting of Svengali
when seated at the piano is very realistic,
but thezreal music, clear, clean in enuncia-
ton and expressive in tone, is furnished by
Mr.. Fronani Mr.. Fronani is a pianist oil
well-known ability, and Manager Luckett
was fortunate in securing him for the work
desired. Besides his piano playing, Mr.,
Fronani also played the organ at the sup
posed midnight service on Christmas eve
The Sunday Night Music Club met at I15
H street northwest, where the instrumental
part of the program consisted of postum
nous piano quintet (No. p, by Boccherini,
and two of Fauconiers- Moroccan Recrea-
tffs," arranged for piano and quintet of
strings. Miss Lucia Nola sang GLORIA $
Regina Coeii, Rossis Tantum Ergo and
Diabelli's Jubilat Dec, all with plano ana
string quartet accompaniment.
The Quartet choir at Foundry NJ. Z.
Church will sing an interesting program to-
morrow. At The morning service Barnby's
In Heavenly Love Abiding and Demor-
Peace" will be given, and at the offertory
a tenor solo, The Golden Pathway. At
night two compositions by Danks-"Let the
Words of Ny Mouth and Praise the

GOMEZ Is REINsTATED
Made Commander-in-Chi by Vote os
Cuban Generals

dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The Cuban generals met today at Marianao
ana ohicially decided to reinstate General
Maximo Gomez as commander-in-chief.
They also decided to appoint an executive
board of three generals to assist him in
distributing the 1900, COO, in the details of
dlsarming, and in the organization of the
rural police for the province. He win he
omciaiiy notified of their action, and a
proclamation will probably be issued to the
Cubans.
General Rafael Portuondo, chairman of
the executive committee of the former
military assembly, called upon Governor
General Brooke today, and discussed with
him the recent actions of the assembly lead
ing to its dissolution. He did not offer the
Cuban muster rolls directly. though it has
been intfmated by several former members
of the assembly that these are at the dis
position of the military authorities when
ever they are wanted.
The Americans, however, will not make
any requests of the assembly's executive
committee. The situation in this respect
has been outwardly unchanged in the last
two days, though 1t is understood that to-
morrow will bring forth developments.

spani.h Used american Guns.

Among the guns which were captured
from the Spaniards during the war were
some that the ordnance officers have found
to be American guns They were few IN
number and were all old-fashioned howit-
zers. 1t is supposed that these guns had
been disposed of junk and had been
purchased by the Cubans and captured
from them by the Spaniards The United
States government has never sold any
guns to the Spaniards. nor to the Cubans.
The captured guns are all Of obsolete type.

versed will be left to the discretion of the
head of the party. The equipment of this
party is to consist of canoes of the same
type as those used in the explorations dur
ing the field season of 1893. 1t is expected
that the party will return down the Koyu-
kuk to the Yukon, and out by the way of
st. Michael.
The plans have been developed as a re-
suit of thorough discussion by the mem
bers of the survey familiar with explora-
tions in Alaska and its resources

1t is believed by those who hold this view
that there is to be a reaction, and that
when the crash comes it will be attended
with disastrous consequences. Fortunately,
this mania has not been manifested here to
any extent but it is thought it is likely to
break out at any time, especially now, as
owing to the recent large purchases of local
enterprises a good deal of money will be
seeking investment. 1t is believed that. un-
less the passion for stock enterprises gets
too great a hold here, a good portion of
this money will seek investment in real
estate in the District. For this and other
reasons, the activity that is already mani
fested it is thought, will increase in vol
ume as the season advances

"Git TOgether."-Stay Together.
THE LEDGER IS nearly fifty
years old-two more years and it
will have reached the half century
mile post. 1t is the oldest enter
prise in the county. From Baily,
its founder to it's present owner
and only two interviewed, the
late w Nj Connors and the late
ID j Carter-its editors have bat
tied for the advancement of Ian
caster and the best interests of the
county. When the present editor
began occupying the sanctum he
found that the greatest impedi.
ment to the progress of the town
was the opposing factions in the
town. Ii one man with capital
suggested an enterprise of any
kind others would talk against it,
and what one thought was a good
thing another was sure to think
was bad. Well, We thought the
best thing to do for the advance
ment of Lancaster was to advise
the people with capital to get to-
gether, and, time after time, we
urged them to "git together. -
We witnessed their gradually get
ting closer and closer until the
Bank was established, then they
began pulling together and the
factory was built, and now-welI,
they are about united, don't you
think, and we ought to expect big
things for Lancaster. Now,
there's no use preaching "git to-
gether" any longer. We will
have to change our text. Our
new text will be found in Benz.
TX, 1st verse, and reads "Stay
together.'' -

fact. Working every day cxhausts

The Lancaster Mercantile Conn

p""N'
The consolidation of Heath.
Springs d Co, and the Farmers
Banking and Mercantile Company
at this place, under the corporate
name of The Lancaster Mercantile
Company, will give Lancaster one
Of the largest and strongest mel
camille establishments in the state.
The capital stock of the new con,
Germ will be 800, 100000. A char.
ter has been applied FOR, and in u
few days the organization will be
effected and the ten large store
rooms, with frontage on Main
Street of $50 feet and depth of
from 100 to 125 feet, which will
he occupied by the new concern,
will be thrown open for business.
At present the majority of them
arc closed for stock taking, which,
by the way, is no little job.
As to the effect of The CONSOLE
dation upon the business of Lam
caster, we are unable to say. The
future alone can tell. Many are
disposed TO take a gloomy view Of
the situation. They think the con-
soldation means the death of com
petition and that Lancaster, here
t"forc known far and wide, rs
the cheapest market in the State,
by this change will become one of
the dearest. We hope such will
find this not to he the case. The
men interested in this enterprise
are all good business men and for
the most part they are public
spirited men. 1t does not stand
to reason that such men would
consolidate their businesses to
raise prices and drive trade from
the town, but on the contrary, the
great combination of capital re-
duces expenses and enables them
to do business Mt minimum cost
and will enable them to give the
consumer the full benefit in the
reduction of prices of goods. -
Their object, we hope is to down
competition of other towns by un-
derselEing them. Just wait and
see. We hope and believe it is
the intention of the new concern
to attract larger trade here than
Lancaster has ever had before. 1t
cnu, if it will.
Now, we do hope that the pco-
pie Of this county, who we know
prefer selling their cotton and do
ing their trading here, will give
this market fair test before rush
ing off t. some other. With cot
ton mill here that will consume a
large part of the cotton bought on
this market it is safe to presume
that the prices will be equal to or
above the neighbo' Jog markets. -
If they are not, then we say 90 to
the market where you can get the
most for your cotton, but, don't
Inconvenience yourselves in going
10 another market until YOU have
tried your home market. We
want 20 rec the people of the coun.
tV and our business men get to-
gcihcr and each work for the ben.
eft Of the other. When such gets
to be the case, we will sec the
town progressing along CONNER
Cial and manufacturing lines and
the county advancing along all
lines. ''Git together"
