Accident at the French Street Station of
the p, w. ~ Is. Railroad.
One Of the most fortunate accidents
that has happened on any OF the
divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad
recently occurred Tuesday on the
Maryland division of the road at French
street station, in this city. The acoi
dent happened at 8 O'Clock, and nobody
was injured. The first section of train
No. rs, known as the Washington and
New York express, had pulled into the
station when the engine, No. III, of
the second section, crashed with great
force into Pullman sleeper containing
four passengers. The sleeper, Mercurio.
was cut in twain by the engine and SO
firmly imbedded was the latter that
they were not separated, but were
taken to the shops together. The pas
sengers in the sleeper, who were badly
Jared, were transferred to another car
onlthe tirstBeoti of the trainae .iEey
Although the passengers were rudely
awakened thsy took the matter good
naturally and one of them was heard to
say II am all right and glad Of 1t. y
The baggage coach, which was in
front of the sleeper, was badly damaged
and was removed from the train. The
first section of the train was in charg.
of Conductor Matthews, with Engineer
Waterman at the throttle. The seconc
section was in charge of Conductor
Baughmann and Engineer Spamer a
the throttle.
| From the investigation it is presumed
that the second section could not b,
brought to stop soon enough.

A Mysterious Hole.

Downingtown people are all stirred
up over tie finding of mysterious hole
in the ground on the banks OF the

town. The general opinion seems to
be that the excavation was grave, and
that the interested persons, becoming
alarmed, disipterred> the corpse and
took it elsewhere. The excavation was
about two by four feet and II 1t was o

until Monday, when several persons

TO DESTROY A LANDMARK.
Indignation In London over Project
to Pull Down the Historic
Marble Arch.

A matter which is interesting So
ciety people in particular and which
is creating not little indignation In
general is the suggested removal of
the historic and picturesque marble
arch from Hyde park.
Apart from merely sentimental con-
siderations. it is a regular landmark
in that part of London. People driv-
ing in the park love to look up at it
and, black as it is, it is the admira-
tion of foreign visitors. In the fur
thermost parts of London you hear
shouted every day: Marble arch!
Marble archl"--the cry of bus con-
ductors as they pass.
Londoners love their marble arch,
yet some enterprising officials have
taken it into their heads that it is in
the way, and want to pull it down or
move it,, The public will have some
thing to say before that is done.

ALL GUN TESTS SURPASSED
Trial Mt Indian Head of the Weapon
which Can Pierce Any Arnor
Made.

The tests of the new 12-inch naval
gun have resulted in some remark
able performances. emitting the gun
to rank ahead of any of the 12-inch
guns thus far made. in this country
or abroad. 1t was known that the
tests had been most successful, but it
was not until Admiral O'Neil received
from Lieut.. Straus, commandant of
the Indian Head proving ground, the
detailed report of the tests that it
was known that the monster weapon
had eclipsed all former records for
velocity and power.
With a charge of 360 pounds Of
smokeless powder, giving a pressure
of 1914 tons per square inch, the gun
gave a muzzle velocity of 1854 feet.
Prof. Alger, the naval expert, says
this is the highest ever attained by
12-inch gun, the record thus far
ranging from $500 to 1900 feet. With
an S50-pound steel-tipped projectile
the big gun would pierce any armor
ever made. 1t is the first of 40 guns
which will GO on the new battle
ships and armored cruisers.

permanent employment. There are
900 of these clerks. an overwhelming
majority of whom are girls, and, un-
ike their sisters in the permanent de-

pretty and young. They hold their

BIG PORTRAIT FALLS.
Likeness of Abraham Lincoln Crashes
to Floor in East Room of White
House Late Mt Night.

Late the other night a noise was
heard at the white house which sound
ed like an explosion The president,
who had not retired, inquired as to the
cause, as the floor of the living apart
ments located on the second floor was
Jared perceptibly. An investigation
was made hastily and when the east
room was entered by the usherS it
was found that the portrait of Abra-
ham Lincoln, by Coggswell, had fallen
to the floor, damaging the frame con-
siderahly. The painting itself was
not damaged, and it will only require
the expenditure of a small amount to
repair the frame.
The investigation developed that
the heavy wire used in hanging the
portrait had parted under the heavy
weight of the painting, which has
adorned the east wall of the east
room for many years. If the acci-
dent had occurred before the election
it might have been interpreted as an
augury of the defeat of President Me-
Kinley, but happening after the elec-
ton little has been said about it.

HUNTERS TURNING TO BEARS.
The Pursuit of Bruin Has Become
More Exciting Thnn That
of the Deer.

1t is thought that the Maine legisla-
ture will this winter repeal all laws
providing for the payment of bounty
on wild animals killed in the state.
The experience with bears in particu-
lar has demonstrated that the bounty
laws, while burden on the taxpayers,
do not always cause an increase in the
number of predatory animals killed,
reports the New York Sun.
Up to two years ago Maine paid a
bounty of SIS each on bears, and when
it was proposed to repeal the law it was
argued that without the bounty as an
incentive to hunters to kill off the bears
no sheep could be raised in many parts
of the state. The bounty was repealed
and experience has shown that more
bears have been shot since that time
than ever before, while no more sheep
have been killed by bears than when
the bounty was in force.
Sportsmen from the large cities are
becoming tired of shooting deer, which
is rather n tame sport anyway, and as
only one man in ten can get moose,
many are turning their attention to
bears as being not only nobler but also
more valuable game than deer, The
skin of good bear is worth taking
home, while deer skin is worth very
little, and the meat of the bear is also
good, according to many tastes. For
merly few bears were taken through
Bangor by sportsmen on their way
home, but this season the shipments
average ten a week.

VENETIAN IRON WARE.
Nine-Tenths of II Now Manufactured
in New EOris-A Growing
Fad.

At first sight there does not seem
much relation between the gloom and
CRIME of Pittsburgh and the artistic
scre ms and house lanterns of to-day,
but the connection came when the
Pennsylvania forges succeeded in pro-
ducing ductile iron and soft steel in
any shape at very cheap prices, Be
fore that time, says the New York
Post, all the specimens of that beau
tiful school of art known as Venetian
iron work were imported from Italy,
Paris and Sheffield but to-day nine
tenths of it is made in the United
States, and a very goodly portion
right here in the city. You can buy
the iron and steel in any quantity,
ready for use. If your tastes run
towards small objects, you can get
ribbons and wires delicate enough for
a dolls house, and. on the other hand,
you can secure rods and straps thick
and strong enough to make the gates
of safe-deposit company.
y few simple toO!s are all that are
required for the work and for those
who have little or no originality hun
dreds and even thousands of designs
are neatly printed upon sheets of pa
per for both student and artisan. The
work is fad with many people, who
turn out products of commendable
beauty and utility. Hall lanterns,
chafing dish frames, picture holders,
lamp stands, chandeliers. electroliers.
raS brackets and tranSpm Srreenc arc
the favorite objects. Beyond these
| are hundreds which find a ready sale
in the market or constitute highly
appreciated presents at the holiday

market showed no sign of strngency,

fact, the buying overbore the selling
and there are more net gains than

from uncovered shorts, Judging from
the fact that those stocks which suffer

vanced to per cent, and ruled from
that to 81 .xper cent. There was no sign
of stringency and renewals were easily
effected, but all lenders held stiffly for
