PARKERSBURG, w. Va. March 1.-THE
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad claiming the
right under an ordinance adopted in 1852,
brought a force of men into town before
daylight this morning and began to lay
track for five blocks over one of the prin-
cipal streets of the city The police had
been notified of their coming and had been
instructed to call out the fire department
If an attempt was made to lay a track
The department responded and poured such
a stream of water on the men that they
had to abandon the street. A clash oc-
Cured between the mayor. who is attorney
for the Baltimore Ohio. and the City
Council. The mayor had directed the po-
lice and fire departments not to interfere
with the building of the tram but the
Council countermanded his orders and the
departments stood with the Council and the
citizens. Following the excitement of the
eraly morning the City Council held a
special meeting at 10 o'clock at which i'm
parchment proceedings were begun against
Mayor j. w. vandervort He was sus-

sIMMss GLIB RECITAL.

Fearing that when Doc Lung would re-
gain consciousness he would inform the
police, and knowing that dead men tell no
tales the negroes decided to kill him,
which they did with cleaver they found
in Lungs sleeping quarters. In order TO
escape all detection they decided to get rid
of the body altogether. as it can be proved
beyond doubt that one of the murderers
telephoned to a certain official in one OF
the medical colleges, asking him If he could
use the body of a Chinaman. This they
did after arranging everything about the
room to conceal the fact that a struggle
had taken place. They had washed their
hands of Doc Lungs blood in small rear
room.
Now, here is the connecting link to
which / desire to call your special atten-
ton. There is now in the Marion county
Jail in the city of Indianapolis a crowd of
negroes awaiting trial for grave robbing
and do not hesitate to say, If the proper
methods are employed, the murderers of
Doc Lung will be found among them Why
Lung was known among the negroes on
Indiana avenue as Billy Dong, or simply
Billy One of the negro grave rob-
bers some time ago received at the jail a
letter from one of his pals who escaped
being arrested by flight from the city.
This pal sent to the negro prisoner box
containing a saw, a file and a cold chisel
the box was the aforementioned letter and
in this letter was the sentence, They will
hang you when they find out about Billy

is the complication which offsets the improvement, if, indeed, there be any. Simplicity is remedy for most defects as we find them. We do not want conn plication anywhere.
 There is another matter of which pressing needs have been demonstrated by the burning of number of large steamships, and that is, port holes large enough forEpeople to get out of. If round portholes cannot be made large enough for this, there should be regu- lar size set in square port that can be easily opened in emergencies, and a wrench, or whatever tool may be neces- sary for opening, handy in each room. There would be no time to hunt help or stewards in case of fire or sinking. #
 Under the head of safety is the place to include the subject of wireless tele- graphy, asd although the writer would put non-sinkability as of first impor- tance, means of communicating with the shore when in danger is an inven- tion of the greatest benefit the world has ever known; it is an invention for safety that stands pre-eminertly first. With it help can be summoned in cases of danger, the exact location and con- ditidn of the ship can be made known and this can be kept up until the last minute if need be. Enough credit can not be given to the inventors of wire less telegraphy. There should be an outfit on board every ship, whether steam or sail.-Cassier's Magazine.

CONSUL LEA YES IN. ANGER.
Assault on Our Representative at
 AIexandretta. s.-

ConstantinopIe, Dec. 8.-The United States flag over the consulate at Alex andretta, Asiatic Turkey, has been hauled down and the consul, W. R. Da- wis, has left his post for Beirut, in con sequence of a serious diplomatic incl dent during which MT. Davis was in- suited and assaulted by the local police.
 The affair grew out of the arrest of an Armenian-O Ohannes Attarian, a naturalized American citizen. Attarian had been in prison at Aleppo during the last two months and had just been liberated through the intervention of the American consular agent, on condi- ton of his leaving the country forth with. Dr. Davis was accompanying At tartan on board a departing steamer when the police intercepted the party, assaulted and insulted MT. Davis, and, in spite of the resistance of the consul and his attendant guards, rearrested Atttarian and took him back to prison. S-5
 MT. Davis immediately lowered the flag over the consulate and formally broke off relations with the Turkish au- thorities by quitting Alexandretta, leav- HE slIGt tCUHSuldIG III CIdTSe or the wee consul A mob of Moslems seized on the occasion to make hostile demon- sration against the consulate and against the Christians generally.
 The local authorities assert that MT. Davis struck the police with cane, and that after the re-arrest of Attarian the consular cavasses (military couriers) attempted to rescue him. and that in the fracas which ensued the cavasses broke the windows of the prison.
 When Attarian was arrested $2,500 was found in his pocket This, it is be- lieved, may have contributed to his ar- rest, the Turks suspecting him of being a revolutionist.
 The matter is engaging the energetic attention of the United States legation here. Minister Leishman has made ur- gent representations to the porte and is now awaiting fuller report before talk ing further steps. u..t
 The outrage, it is anticipated here, will lead to strong action on the part of the United States to obtain reparation, especially as full satisfaction for the Beirut affair has not yet been given.

TO MAKE OCEAN TRAVEL sAFEF

ID MAKE OCEAN l IEIAH EIlI GAf EIi. In connection with ocean travel. the life-boat question is one that may be examined into with profit. There aro numerous devices on the market much better than the present cumbersome ar engagements on the average steamer. It takes too many men too long a time to get one of the boats over and town, and the crew, moreover, are often the only ones able towork the life-boats. This is not as it should be- It ought to be pcs sll,le for any one to do the launching. If ship is going do VII or is in great danger, there are not enough of tine crew available ao operate all the boats, nor enough boats for all of the passen- gers. Boat drills are all right, but in time of panic one cannot depend on this systematic launching of the boats.
 Invariably the crew get away first, and generally a very few of the boats are gotten off in time Let US have more boats and easily lowered ones good, practical devices that do not re- quire almost winch to operate. Let some be self-launching, non-collapsible and -sinkable, and keep them pro- visioned in fact. Did you ever think of the length of time it would take to get the canvas covering off, bread and wa ter stored, the boat hoisted and tried, fist bow and then stern, till she could be swung out clear of the davits, to have the cradle removed, and then this heavy load swung and lowered, and this, too, at, time of accidents, with the ship going down? We meet an objection in many so-called improvements, and that

Perseverance council. D. of L., will give a ten cent supper and social at the home of the secretary, Mrsl L. c. Wa ters. s WolcOtt street, tomorrow even ing. December 10.
 Charles Whalen. whose home is at 239 Poplar street, electrician at the Episco- pal academy in Cheshire, met with a serious accident about 10 o'clock Mon day evening. Whalen. who is an eX- pert electrician, was engaged in making a connection on the switchboard, and as his wire was not grounded, he received the full voltage in his left hand, which was badly burned. The electric fluid passed through his body, badly burning his left foot. At first he felt no ill ef fleets of the shock. except the burns, and walked to Dr. Denison's office for treatment. Soon after arriving there he went into terrible convulsions and be- came unconscious. He was taken to the Meriden hospital where he is re- pprted to be comfortable and the phy- sicians say he will recover. Whalen's brother. who is employed on the rail- road, was recently hurt in an accident, and is confined to the New Haven hos  pital.
 The first lecture was given on 'The Early Christians at the East Pearl street M. B. church last evening by Herbert Booth, before a large audience. This evening he will conclude his en- gagement here by continuation of the lecture of last evening and will show fifty views which have never been seen in this city; also many moving pictures. As these lectures are very instructive it is believed many will attend and the church should be full. A charge of ten cents will be made at the doors to defray the expenses. -.......
 The Ladies' Aid society of the Grand avenue Congregational church will serve the regular fifteen cents supper this evening. The entertainment which follows at 7:30 will be given by the Girls Aid society under the charge of Miss Emma Hein.
