a Tough CoIOred Man.

A recent railroad wreck in North
Carolina was caused in a peculiar way.
y colored man wanted to get n ride and
tried to jump Il train of empty fiat cars.
He missed the car and fell across the
track, where the wheels of several cars
passed directly over him. His body
threw two of the cars off the track, and
the strangest part of it is that after the
cars had run over him the man was able
to get up and walk away. AS he looked
around him he was heard to exclaim:
"Well, WE'LL l never see de like sence 1
wuz BON. I'll bet my weeks wages dat
railroad'll sue me fer damages. At

Two Cars Advertised For
Sale This Evening.


The government officials are
seeking to make test case OF en-
forcing the payment of royalty on
hay this afternoon. Two cars of
hay have been seized and will be
offered for sale at 8 O'Clock. One
car was loaded by d. T. Hall on
which the royalty has been paid
and the bill Of lading received
from the railroad company. The
hay is being held for royalty on a
number OF car loads shipped here
toiore on which the royalty had
not been paid. The other car was
loaded by Smith q Leforce who
refused to pay the royalty. Both
cars are consigned TO Chicago.
The position Of Mr.. Hall is that
without "due process Of law" the
inspector has no right TO seize this
property for tax on former ones;
further, that il belongs to the con-
signee, who has paid the draft, and
lis matterfor be and the railroad
company to adjust. Smith & Le-
force do not claim to have paid,
but say they have sold the hay.

the railroad company can "haye it

he has been bluffing for several
days and will not sell the hay this
time.

TO BUY IRELAND.
Michael Davitt Hopes to See

The London correspondent of the New

Irish members of Parliament anent the
scheme to buy the Lakes of Killarney.
John Dillon said: II like the idea,
which is characteristic of America and
honorable to its men of wealth and their
interest in the land of their parentage."
Col. Saunderson said; 81 wonder they
don't propose to buy the entire island"
Swift McNeill said; 81 regret that our
public spirit at home is not equal to the
emergency"
Patrick O'Brien, the Parnellite whip,
said: 81 should like to see Ireland
bought out of John Bulls hands alto
gether. We should get justice from
Brother Jonathan"
Michael Davitt THE movement to
buy the Killarney lakes is very salts
factory to me as indicating living in
terest in all that concerns Ireland among
American citizens of Irish extraction.
would rather, however, that twenty mill
ions of our race in the United States
would negotiate with England for the
purchase of the whole of Ireland, so as to
liberate it from English rule, but fear
such project is too big an undertaking
just now even for your country. The
gigantic scheme to purchase the Killar-
ney lakes by Instantaneous will of
course be more popular in Ireland than
if some English speculator grabbed the
property. If we had an Irish Parliament,
proper action would be taken at once.
We would buy the lakes and turn the
beautiful place into national park, as
the United States did with the Yellow
stone region"

The late Augustine Daily, the
theatrical manager, was born IN
North Carolina, his father being an
Irishman and his mother native OF
the West Indies. The elevation OF
the American stage owes a great
deal to the brilliant dramatist. He
was a charitable man, who will be
kindly remembered by the poor OF
New York. His remains will be
brought to that city from Paris, and
his final obsequies will take place
from St. Patrick's Cathedral.

A FRIEND OF LABOR.

So far as his record indicates Mr.. David
b. Henderson, of Iowa, who will be
Speaker of the next Congress, seems to
have been the friend of labor. The bill
providing for arbitration in the case of
labor troubles was called up in the House
during the closing days of the Fifty-third
Congress, and but a short time given to
its discussion. 1t was passed without
opposition and without a yea and nay
vote. On this subject Mr.. Henderson
said Bringing this bill up only five days
before adjournment, there is really no hope
of its becoming law. But now that it
is before us l appeal to the friends of the
workingman and fair play between all
interests that we do our duty by acting
now that we have chance"
In the Fifty-ffth Congress, when the
Labor Arbitration bill was finally enacted
into law, Mr.. Henderson was paired in
its favor on the final passage of the bill.
The bill to create the non-partisan
Industrial Commission went through the
House without protest and without the
formality of yea and nay vote. In COM
mon with other members Mr.. Henderson
favored it. In discussing the proposed
sight-hour law in the Fifty-frst Congress
Mr.. Henderson stood up as the friend Of
the workingman as follows:
1.-THE time has come for a fair division
of profits between capital and labor. and
the money invested will prosper better if
coDtented with a fair share and let the
laboring partner, for in equity he is such,
get his fair share. Let the Government
set the example. 1t will make our people
happier and our Government stronger
Let us pass this bill, feeling it is right
and let us pass the other measures before
we stop the good work. Let us make the
Allen Contract law SO strong that not a
loophole will be left. Our first duty as
lawmakers is to our workingmen let the
Old World look out for hers. am unal-
terably opposed to letting the foreign
laborer steal the work of our people,
either by bringing in contract labor, or,
which is just as bad, the product of out
side labor
