THE CRUEL HUSBAND.

The other day we suggested that
woman's sphere could be enlarged to
take in the dlty of preventing cruel
ty to animals. Another duty is sug-
gested by the action of the women
Of Clifton Heights. Pa, who gathered
to protect Il woman from her cruel
husband. He came home drunk, rails
ed fuss, of course, drove his family
out of the house and beat his wife.
The women of the neighborhood
heard her scream and rushed to her
rescue. They didn't content themselves
by calling him a dirty. brute" and
a 'Tow down whelp'' or "he ought to
be ashamed of himself" but they
grabbed him forcibly and violently
hustled him to the creek. and were
about to duck him when an officer
rushed to the scene and rescued the
fellow. Thereupon the women had the
cruel husband taken before the magis-
trate, who bound him over under $500
bail.
1t is not likely that there will be
any more wife beating in that neck of
the woods. When the women rally
in defense of their sex, and give a
man a ducking or wig of tar and
feathers for abusing his wife, there
will be no more of it.-Ohio State

BOILER TROUBLES IN NAVY.

There were reports recently that
several of the big armored cruisers
which have been in commission but a
few years are developing a good deal
of boiler trouble and not a few acct
dents have been reported from burst
ing tubes Practically all the large
ships in the navy are now equipped
with the water tube boiler. Such boil
ers develop steam more rapidly and
are believed to develop higher steam
pressures than the older type Of
Scotch boiler. The water tube boiler
is more readily installed and more
readily renewed than the Scotch boiler,
but on the other hand. its life does not
appear to be so long nor is 1t as free
from accidents as the latter. In the
merchant marine the Scotch boiler Is
still adhered to almost exclusively. be-
ing regarded as the most reliable as
well as the safest It is probable that
there would be less boiler trouble COM
planned of in the navy If the new wa
ter tube boilers were less generally
used. AS they have been pretty free
ly adopted by other navies. however,
there is probably little prospect that
our own service would have the nerve
to go back to the older type.-New
Orleans Picayune.

New York Central Express
Wrecked Early Monday.

New York, July 11.-Three trainmen
were killed and a trainload of passen-
gers was badly shaken UP when the
first section of the northbound train
No. SO on the New York Central,
known as the Northern and Western
express, was wrecked near Newton
Hook, nine miles north of Hudson, at
2.49 o'clock this morning The section
consisted of an engine, baggage car,
five coaches and sleeper.
From some cause, as yet undeter-
mined. the engine and baggage car
jumpd the track and toppled complete
ly over. The other six cars on the
train, all Pullmans. left the rails, but
remained upright and no one in them
was seriously hurt, the railroad, Of

The three men killed were: James

Holes, fireman, Rensselaer,; John Ray,
baggageman, CrOtOn.
The train left New York shortly at
ter midnight this morning and carried
numbers of residents of upstate cities
who had spent the day in New York
City. The railroad officials declare
that none was seriously hurt to need
more than temporary attention and all
were put on board special train made

From all accounts the forward truck
of the engine jumped the track first
and threw the engine and the entire
train off at a switch a few hundred
feet further north, the locomotive and
baggage car topping over. Engineer
Tyndall was caught under his engine
and was fatally crushed. dying shortly
afterward. The other trainmen were
instantly killed.
A report received by the Public Ser

was caused by the engine striking a
door of a freight car that had fallen
on the track.
The passengers on the wrecked train
arrived here shortly before 10 o'clock
aboard the second section of Train

by way of Hudson and Chatham. They
were en- route to western points.
The day coach passengers said the
car after leaving the tracks struck an
embankment and was saved from over
turning. They said the coach was
separated from the baggage car and
engine by the breaking of the coup

The passengers reported that one
woman was cut about the face and

development of the art of flying, as first

has hitherto been confined mainly to Eu.
