KILLED WHILE ON DUTY.
Watchman Collins Found Dead I'm
der a Railroad Car.

OAKLAND. May 4.-John Collins, an
aged watchman at the railroad yards, was
found dead under a car at daylight this
morning. A train had passed over his
chest during the night while the watch
man was crossing the track for the pur-
pose of attending to one of the watch
mems clocks. Collins had been in the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific through a
generation, and when increasing age
brought with it infirmity he was given the
position of night watchman. His duties
required him to wind up certain watch
mems clocks at different points in the
yard for the purpose of showing that he
had made his rounds at the proper time.
To reach these clocks it was necessary
sometimes to walk around a long string
of cars or else climb over them or dodge
under the drawheads. 1t is supposed that
he was doing this when he was run over,
having probably mistaken some cars at
tached to locomotive for some that were
sidetracked.
The deceased was missed, and near a
track was seen lighted lantern. An in
vestigation showed that it belonged to
Collins, and its dead owner was found a
minute later. Collins leaves a widow and
six children.

James III. Donovan and his wife,
of Clayton, Del, were bitten by a
mad dog about month previous.
They Immediately went to the Pas
teur Institute, New York, for treat
ment. The physicians in charge
were doubtful of success, on account

He took the treatment, however,

days after leaving the Institute had

Republican rIass rIeeting.

The Republican mass meeting at
Elkton Oh Monday night was not
exactly a bowling success. The
meeting was held in the town hall,
which was crowded, but there are
enough people in the town alone to
fill the hall to overlooking.
Sen. Louis T.. McComas was the
principal speaker. Comptroller
Goldsborough and Congressman
Baker also made addresses. Gov
Lowndes did not put in an appear
ance. The excursion train from
Sylmar was not crowded. - per-
sons got aboard at Rising Sun and
about half that number each at
Colora, Liberty Grove and stations
below. A dollar for the round trip
was too much for the patriotism
of voters. The ride would have
been a free one, like the Democratic
jamboree, only for the colored
brother. He would have crowded
a long train and shown up alto
gether too conspicuous on a free
Republican excursion. In fact he
would have been the excursion.
The leaders concluded-and Justly
so-that there would be altogether
too much cologne for health in a
free ride. So between the colored
brothers. presence and a failure,
the latter was chosen as the least of
two evils. The naked truth is that
the Republican party has no use
for the colored brother only one
day in the 365-which is election
day. They had rather the devil
would take care of him the rest OF
the year, It's all the same to the
brother so that he is taken case OF

They do say he has fallen into the
habit of wanting pay for voting,
like the white man, and that he
even talks of raising the price OF
striking in case of refusal. This
probably is SANDER, started by
some Democrat.

letter was received since the last issue of the
JOURNAL from the private secretary of the Gov
ernor that being brief we give:
Dear Sri am instructed by the Governor to
acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the 18th
inst, relative to the cases of Cordes and Vesey,
and to say that the pardons in these cases were
granted solely on the ground that the parties
convicted had large families dependent on them
for support and that their conviction and sem
tence was sufficient vindication of the law and
would operate to deter others from like offenses.
The pardons in these cases, under these circum.
stances, were strongly urged on grounds of
humanity, and while the Governor was averse to
interfering with the sentence of the Court, he felt
that unnecessary suffering on the part of their
families and children would Justify him in taking
this step. Very truly yours
GEO. E. LowEREE,
Secretary of State.
The Governor does not seem to have any con-
sideration for the unnecessary suffering of the
families of those who left destitute because of
the traffic that is robbing them of their only
means of support. Many thus suffer that one may
live in luxury and idleness by robbing them, and
in these cases illegally.
