b Francis ID. Carpenter, who died recently,
wassone of the painters who outliyed his
renown, though during his life he en-
joyed a fair amount OF it. He is best re-
membered by pictures that not many rec
pie have seen, though engravings from
them are not uncommon. His principal
canvass represented President Lincoln
reading his emancipation proclamation 10
his cabinet and was valued for the aceI-
racy of the portraits of the President and
his distinguished associates. Mr., Lin-
coin playfuly alluded to the picture as,
that of '.the happy famiy"-a bit Of satire

body were SO jealous Of one another that
they would not speak together. Mr.. Car

A TRAIN LEAVES THE TRACK.
One of the Oldest Northwestern En-
Eincers ScaIdcd to Death.

FREEPORT, H., Sept. 4.-The North
western passenger train that left Chicago
at AS o'clock yesterday afternoon and
was due here at 7:40, was wrecked be-
tween Pecatonica and Radott.
The engine and the entire train left the
track at sharp curve and Engineer Pat
rick Ryan, of this city. was seaided to
death by escaping sie&m. Arthur Jewell,
fireman. Ta5 thrown through the cab win
dow and escap ID with slight injuries. Con-
ductor Frank Parlow, of Chicago was also
injured About twenty-five passengers
were on board and half of them were
slightly injured, Mrs. Wohlford, of Free
port being the only one who was seriously
| hurt. The train, consisting Of a baggage
car, a smoker, a day car, and parlor car,
was badly wrecked.
The train was going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour when the train left the rails,
The accident was caused by the spreading
of the rails The dead engineer was one
OF the Oldest men in the employ OF the
Northwestern road, and had run passen-
ger train between Chicago and Freeport

The Anthraetts Coal Troubles.

Il is now generally admitted that, unless
the coal operators in the anthracite region
OF Pennsylvania show IN immediate will
iugnezs TO concede the demands Of the
miners, the threatened STRIFE will be or
dered, and the whole field tied up within
the next week. This became apparent
when the men in WIkesbarre and other
districts ignored the orders Of their en-
ployers to work on Labor Day, ard ap-
peared in large bodies in various paroles.
The operators nave not as jet given
any sign to SUCCESS that they are wen
willing to consider the demands and gricv-
anees Of the miners. If they continue in
that way the strike Will be inevitable.
The situation is much TO be regretted. As
we have said before, there might be some
political advantage derivable from wide
spread labor war, but the price is too
high. No one wants TO see the restitution
and misery that d long strike would entail
upon whole communities. Such things are
hardly reparable, and are to be prevented
wherever and whenever possible. In the
present case the Pennsylvania strike could
be easily avoided if only the operators
were willing 10 do simple justice to the
working miners.

prominent cities of the United States;
who is absolutely ignorant of nearly all
of the events of his life, although he
writes romances with consecutive plots;
who can count up TO one hundred, but
cannot add. multiply, subtract, or divide;
who cannot conceive that twenty-five CD
jects are more than five objects, al
though he remembers that in his trade as
a marble-cutter he had one hundred
chiseIs and can describe their dimensions
in inches.
Surgeons who have examined him say
that in all their readings they have not
encountered as strange case. They say
that there is some injury to his brain,
causing the most remarkable results IN
twisting his memory. He is supposed
to be the victim of stroke OF lightning
The man was found lying unconscious,
with his feet in pool Of water, during
a terrific thunderstorm on August 3. no
sign of a bruise was found on him, save
a slight abrasion OF the right cheek, prob
