ut seems very clear, therefore, that
a suit would lie against the members
of the United Mine Workers associa-
ton as a combination in the restraint
of interstate commerce within the act
of June 2, 1890, and that a preliminary
injunction would be granted which
could be enforced by all the power Of
the national government. This pre-
else course was followed in the Debs

the ground OF, restraint of shipments

KILLS TWO PERSONS FATALLY

CRAZY OVER AN INVENTION

Pittsburgs Oct. 1O.--While laborint

for a patent on an air brake which
is pending in Washington, Charles
Cawley, II years old, of Homestead
Pa, early today killed his mother and
n sister, and fatally injured four
other children. He also tried to xiii
his two older brothers, but was de.
tected, overpowered and turned over
to the police.
The weapon used was an axe, with
which he crushed and hacked his vic
tins beyond recognition. The dead:
MRS. HANNAH CAWLEY, aged
about 40 years, head and upper .por-
tion. of body almost pounded to a jelly.
BELLE CAWLEY, aged IL, head
frightfully crushed.
The fatally injured are:
Josephine, the baby of the family,
aged Is months; head and chest bat
tered.
Adeline, aged 6, skull fractured.
Raymond, aged 6 twin of Adeline,
head horribly injured.
The Cawleys lived in a neat six
room house in Homestead. Last night
all the members retired about 10
o'clock. Mrs. Cawley and Belle &C.
cupied one bed, while Josephine, Ade-
line, Raymond and Agnes occupied an
other bed and cribs in the same room.
Charles, the murderer, his brother
James, aged 20, and Harry, aged IA,
occupied the front room, second floor,
adjoining their mothers About
8 o'clock this morning Charles quiet
" arose, and dressing himself, but
not putting on his shoes, crept down
to the cellar and secured IN axe.
Coming upstairs. he went into his
mothers room, where the victims
were all sleeping. @
After turning up the light, the

Ell evidently never knew what struck
her, but the craZed son, thinking that
his first blow did not do it's work
pounded the dead mothers head al
most to a jelly.
Belle, the Oldest daughter, slept
throughout the time. The dull sound
of the axe on her mothers head did
not arouse her. Charles hurried to
her side of the bed and, struck her
with the axe. 1t is thought that the
first blow. slipped and awoke the girl,
but the next blow killed her.
The fiend then struck each of the
smaller children over the head with
the bloody weapon.

Work on Trolley Road.

Those who have taken the trouble
to drive over the portion of the
electric road to Brandywine Springs
that has already graded are sur.
prised at the thorOughness of the
work. The grading is almost fin
ished to Yorklyn. and only small
portion Of the line will occupy the
public road. The line abounds in
beautiful scenery, especially in the
ncighborhood of Yorklyn. Near
the upper paper mill the line runs
in field near the public road and
the route at this point abounds in
fine scenery.
The great mass of rocks at the
upper mill, near the covered bridge,
was the scene of operations this
week. They were blasted with
dynamite and the great mass Of
rocks were carted away to other
portions of the road. In a few
days the new roadway will be com
! pleted
There are now fifty men at work
! upon the road in the neighborhood
Of Yorklyn, and! they have accom-
plished large amount of work this
week. Fully five miles of the route
will be graded in few days, and as
the route below Hockessin runs
for several miles along the
Mill Creek where the grade is easy,

THE DRINKING ORCHID.
Wonderful Plant Recently Found In
south America by a Philadel-
phia Explorer.

A plant termed by English Public
Opinion the most extraordinary ever
discovered has been brought to light
by the exertions of Mr.. E. A. Suver-
krop of Philadelphia, who during his
trips to South America has been for
some years contributing to the col
lection of his friend, Prof. N. E.
Brown, of the Herbarium, Kew gar
dens, London. The wonderful plant
which Mr.. Suverkrop has now found,
says Youths Companion, is an orchid
that takes drink whenever it feels
thirsty by letting down tube into
the water. When not in use the tube
is coiled up on top Of the plant.
One hot afternoon, says Mr.. Suver-
krop, | sat down under some brush
wood at the side of a lagoon on the
Rio de la Plata. Near at hand was
forest of dead trees which had been
chokeI to death by orchids and Glib
ing cacti. In front of me, stretching
over the waters of the lagoon and
about foot above it, was a branch
of one of these dead trees. Here
and there clusters of common plalfta
del aire grew on it, and network of
green cacti twined round it,
Among the orchids noted one diff
ferent from the rest, the leaves,
sharp lance-head shaped, growing all
round the root and radiating from it.
From the center or axis of tho plant
hung long, slender stem about one
eighth of an inch thick and one
fourth of an inch wide. The lower
end of this was in the water to o
depth of about four inches.
went over at once to examine my
discovery, and was surprised when
touched the plant to see the center
stem gradually contract and convul-
sively roll itself up in spiral like
roll of tape. l found on examina-
ton that the stem was long, slen.
der, fat tube, open at the outer end,
and connected at the inner end to the
roots by series of hairlke tubes.
BY subsequent observation l found
that when the plant was in need Of
water this tube would gradually I'M
wind till it dipped into the water.
Then 1t would slowly coil round and
wind up, carrying with it the quanti-
ty of water that the part of the tube
which had been immersed contained.
When the final coil was made, the
water was poured, as it were, direct
ly into the roots of the plant. The
coil remained in this position until
the plant required more water. But
should the plant be touched while the
tube is extended, the orchid acts like
the scnsutEe plant, and the coiling
is more rapid
found many of these plants, all
directly over the water, or over the
| place where the water had been. In
the latter case it was almost pitiful
| to see how the tube would work Its
way over the ground in search OF
water that was not there.
