GROUND TO DEATH
Returning from Church rosether the
Wife Stumbles and Falls Direct
ly in Front of a Delaware and
Hudson Train.

Mrs. Albert Bray. of JesSup. Po-
lish woman, aged ~ years, was the
victim of an extremely distressing ac
cident yesterday at Olyphant.
She and her husband We're walking
home on the Delaware and Hudson
tracks about 30 O'Clock from Oily
phant. where they attended church to-
gether, and when Il short distance
north of the station were overtaken
by Il north-bound freight train. Mrs.
Bray. who was next the track. STUN
blcd and fell upon the rail just as the
engine was within Il few feet of them.
Almost before Il hand could be raised
to save her the engine was upon her.
Both legs We're cut off at the knees
and her head was crushed into a pulp.
Tie husband was driven frantic by
the awful sight and had to he forcibly
restrained from doing injury to him
self.
The remains We're taken to Under

Several times again Herrick was
caught by holds which looked as
though they would yield sure falls. but
his strength and agility stood him in
good stead and he repeatedly broke
Dwyer's pet grips
Never once, however, was the cultur-
lists shoulders In danger of kissing the
mat, as Herrick seemed rather slow in
attack, and was forced to remain on
the defensive throughout It was only
after twenty-five minutes that Dwyer
got leg and half-Nelson hold. and
squarely and firmly brought Herrick's
shoulders against the mat.
Many of the spectators had their
sympathies enlisted with the stranger
wrestler, and the clean, square exhi-
bition he gave won him many admir-
ers. He took his defeat philosophically
and after all was over declared Dwyer
was the better man and plunged into
the clubs swimming tank for a re-
freshng dip. He leaves the city this
morning.

the second Monday of March, 1891, and thereafter
on the second Monday OF January of each AMI
every second year. They shall first take office AT
l2 o'clock noon on the first Monday Of April next
ensuing the date Of their election
From this it will be seen that In
Plttsburg and Allegheny both elected
their heads Of departments for the
new style of city before the new style
Of city was entered into.
AS to when common council IS
to be expanded Is moCted question.
The difficulty is as to what return OF
the assessors shall be taken for fi~ing
the ratio of representation. The law
says that return shall be made TO
the proper city authorities on or be-
fore July ]. preceding the February
election at which the councilnen are
to be elected. July having passed 1t
would seem that no legal return could
be made previous to the coming spring
election and consequently the eNDan-
sion of common council would have to
go over till 1901.
WHAT THEY DID.
Pittsblng did not make any eXpan-
sion. 1t enacted the law to fit the
conditions that then existed. Alle-
gheny. under its old laws, had more
common councilmen than the second
class city law would entitle 1t to. 1t
decreased the number to the new ratio
at the spring election in 1892.
Former city Attorney Elphnstone.
to whom this matter was broached,
said that after Scranton organizes as
a second class city. and the committee
of councils makes the apportionment
for the expanded common council, there
is no reason why the nineteen new
memberships should not be regarded
as vacancies and filled by a special
election, it being within the power of
councils to fill vacancies by special
election. The election cannot take
place at the coming February election
because the aDportionment must be
made by Il prescribed committee of
officials of the new class of city.
Ascan be CLEANED from the foregoing.
Scranton is confronted with no small
problem in the matter of municipal
government alone. Add to this the diff
ticulties to be solved in relation to
school district and poor district affairs
and a not altogether pleasant prospect
is presented for any one concerned
who does not revel in intricate prob
lens. and lots of them.

FIRE DOES $4,000 DAMAGE.
House of James LOTUS, in Seventh
Ward, Completely Destroyed.

Fire broke out this morning about
1,15 o'clock on the ground floor of "A

and thence to the ground with much
difficulty. Mrs. LOTUS cut one of her
hands very badly with broken glass.
The house was completely destroyed

STREET RAILWAY EMPLOYEES.
Meeting in Carpenters Hall Early
This Morning.

The street car employees held Il meet
ing at O'Clock this morning in Car
penters' hall. on Wyoming avenue,
which was attended by fully two-
thirds of the men employed on the
various lines of the Scranton Railway
company.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of hearing the report of Il special
committee recently appointed to aScer-
tain the scale of wages paid and the
schedule OF hours worked by the EN-
ployes of the Wyoming Valley Trac-
ton company in WikesBarre
1t is understood that the Scranton
men have an advantage over their Lu-
Zerne colleagues as far as wages are
concerned, but the latter are favored
in the matter of working hours. A
committee was appointed for the pur-
pose of submitting a proposition to
General Manager Silliman relative to
the reduction of the hours of labor
and an increase in compensation.

We would warn all cattle owners to
look out about losses from the cattle
eating freshly frosted green sorghum,
peavines, etc. The growth Of stuff OF
this kind has been profuse OF late,
owing TO abundant rains, warm weather
and late frost. While in their wet,
wilted condition just after frost they
are very apt to cause bloat and death
For some time after frost peavines are
apt to cause bloat, OF wet days or when
wet with dew at night. Be careful and
turn the cattle on, such fields only after
the peavines, sorghum, etc., are
thoroughly dry after frost.-Starkvi!le

Mr.. Bryan's disappearance from
public life will be assumed by the
partisans Of monopoly, with whom the
wish is father 10 the thought; but the
masses do not forsake their leaders in
that fashion. The Nebraskan has
made IA wonderful fight, against the
most fearful odds. The power OF such
a personality does not depend on the
shifting fortunes OF politics; for honesty
and courage are permanent forces In
the worlds affairs. The test OF true
greatness lies in patient endurance OF
adversely and serene confidence OF ulti-
mate success 10 the cause OF the right.
