Telegraph Operator Blocked Trains After
Being Desperately Assaulted
and Robbed.

WILMINGTON, Del, July 11.-William
Ahern, telegraph operator Of the Della
ware railroad at Ginns crossing, below
Middletown, was discovered at his desk
in the tower bleeding and unconscious
from wounds on the head. He had been
assaulted by two negroes, who robbed
him of $25.
Before becoming unconscious Ahern
set the signals in both directions to stop
trains, and the signals, coupled with the
fact that no response was received to
whistlng, caused the crew of a south
bound train to stop and make an inves.
tigation. The precaution taken by the
brave and desperately wounded opera
tor prevented the possibility of train
collisions.
A posse was promptly organized and
the assailants were traced to Summit
bridge, about seven miles distant, where
they were arrested and taken to Jail.
They are James Young and Chester
Rasin from Uniontown, Nd.

WAsHINGToN, July i1.--At the outset
the state department called the Halle
ton matter to the attention of the gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, who in turn
awaited the action of the jury at Halle
ton, which tried the sheriff ON the
charge of murder. The jury acquitted
the sheriff, whercupon the Pennsyl-
vania authorities held that they could
not recognize a responsibility which a
jury had held did not exist

posed arbitration of the claims 1t was
this last proposal which was rejected,
which seemed to close the matter, as
the claims We're hardly considered Of
sufficient importance to justify Austria.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE report of
Captain Watkins of the stranding of the
American line steamship Paris was

any want of thought or anxiety about
his vessel, but resulted from mistake
he made in calculating the position OF
the ship.
The local inspectors suspended Cap
tain Watkins license as master OF ocean
steamers for two years. Captain Wat
kins was still in charge of the Paris and
was acting in the interests OF the under
writers, to whom the ship was turned
