Wilkesbakre, Pa., July 25 Thomas Tobin was tied to the railroad track near Smithville, a village two miles north of Pittston, bv four men Sunday night, and came near being run over by a heavy load ed coal train. The four men are Inland ers, named Albert and John Koka, Al bert Straw and John Smozn. Some one "broke into their boarding hou-o about a week a$?o and stole a trunk which contained 545 in money in ad dition to clothing. Tobin's wife found the trunk Sunday morning while ettintc tome wood fiom under the house, .she told the neighbors, who in turn in formed the owner, of the discovery. When the Polanders saw the trunk they accused Tobin of having stolen it and be- g in beating him. His protestations of in nocence only made them more angry. They dragged him to 1 he Fairview branch of the Lenigh Valley railroad and tied him across the track. A coal train came along a few minutes later, but wa heavily loaded and proceed ing slowly. The engineer saw Tobm lying across the track and stopped his tram when the engine was eighteen inches away lrom the helpless mau. He was released and has had the four men arrested. They were held in 2,000 bail each. PEACE ON EARTH Awaits that countless army army of martyrs, whoso rauks are constantly re cruited from the victims of nervousness and nervous diseases.

CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL PRACTICE. illLWAUKKH, Wis., July 25. Min. Joseph Hatohard, wife of Dr. Thomas Hatchnrd, was la.st night convicted of being accessory to her husband in the killing of ISSiunic Bwirdsly who died as a result, of a, criminal operation. Mrs. ITatchard exposed her husband to the pub lic and he was last week convicted as the principal in the crime. Last night ho wrote a statement completely exonerating his wilo from all complicity in the murder of the Beardsley girl and placing the blame on Imn-elf but it was too late as the case was in the jury's hands.

Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says; More moneyand higher prices met the wishes of mobt traders and accordingly the tone of the business world is more satisfied and confident. Meanwhile silver is accumu lating, having risen a cent per ounce by Monday and since declined 5 cent and shipments from Russia have become known. Because of speculation in grain and cotton and higher prices for some manufactured goods, the general average has risen during the week 1 lor cent aud there are indi cations of renewal of the speculative fever, Inch f he prospee t of monetary expansion produced some time ago. But in other respects the outlook is good, business large for the season ond the great industries are ou the whole improving in condition. Latest reports of exchanges through tleariiig houses,, outside of Xew York, thowa gain of 15 jer cent over last ear. The woolen manufactuie shows least im provement of all the great industries. The failure of the senate to go on with the t.irfT bill operated as a wet blanket, dialers say. The boot aud shoe trade is "particularly healthy and :uiie for the stason. A most cheering statement is made by the irou aiyl steel association. Copper rises steadily ith grow ing demand while tin is an eighth lower and fead quiet. The coal trade is phenomenally dull. Wheat has been hoisted by great persis tency in cm ulatiug unfavorable reports of yield at home and abroad. But reports are not huge and the prospect in most of the spring wheat region is very bright Pnco advance 2 3-sceni. for wheat, 2 cents for corn and 3 for oats on small t ransaction Cotton also rose JMfi.In guereal speculative markets for products show a tendency to advance mainly because of more nionej aud more speculation. The stato of business at other cities is everywhere as favorable and at some more favorable than a week ago. Boston notes a trade steadily exceeding last year's. Chi cago enjoys a large increase in all grains and considerable in cured meats and cat tle. St. Louis reports a fair volume of trado and good prospects for the fall. At Kansas City business is bet ter and at Milwaukee and Detroit fairly maintained for the season with good prospects With nearly all condi tions tlius favoring business activity.there is constantly growing embossment in de partments of trade and industry which are likelj to be affected by the passage or fail ure of the tarffl bill. Foreign trade is naturally adverse, under such circumstances. While reports fiom Xew York for three weeks in July show a decrease of 15' a per cent com pared with last year's, there is an increase of no less than 33 per cent in imports here. The business failures occurring through out the country during the last seven days number 100. us compared with 207 last week. For the corressonding week of hist year the figures were 21G.

Mrs. Jennie Howard, the wife of a "farmer living one mile south of this city, committed suicide this morning. While her husbaud was at breakfast she went to the bed room and sitting on the bed placed the butt of a shot aim on the floor and the muzzle against her forehead and pulled the trigger with her toes.

BOUGHT BT GOULD. The Wyandotte Northwestern Added to the Missouri Pacific. Kansas ClTY, Mo., July 25 The an nouncement is made that the Kansas City. Wyandotte Northwestern railway has at last secured entrance into the union depot. These facilities have been acquired through the Missouri Pacific, over whose tracks the Northwestern will run into the depot. This fact leads to the conclusion that Mr. Gould will shortly acquire a controlling inter est of the load. He already is the heaviest single liondholderof the road. In view of the acquirement of union depot facilities, the Xorth western will restore its passenger rate to 3 cents from 2J-& cents, which cut was made it was alleged lie cause competing lines conspired to keep it out of the depot. General Manager Summerfield, of the Xorthwestern, returned from Xew York tonight and confirms the report of the sale of the system to Jay Gould. Mr. Gould has held control of the line for five weeks but the transaction has been kept quiet. Mr. Summerfield savs Mr. Gould will build a line between Carbondale und Osage City. Kan and one between Hastings and Crete, Xeb., which will be the Missouri Pacific short line to Denver. Mr. Gould has also bought sixty-four acres of land in Kansas City, Kan., near the shops of the Wyandotte" Xorthwestern and will make t hat place a headquarters of the Missouri Pacific. The sale of the Xorthwestern was effected through its president, W D. Bethel, the consideration being .1,750,000. SOUTHWESTERN MEAT RATES. i Chicago, 111., July 25.

The vacation of the French school boys has led to a change in one feature of the exposition. An order has gone forth that, ea raison des vacances scolaires, all the Arab, African, Egyptian and gypsy dancing girls must moderate their style. There is a growing sentiment in Wis consin in favor of establishing the whip ping post in that state for the punish ment of wife beaters and petty thieves. Robert Sause, the principal of a high school in Odessa, hanged himself while suffering from melancholia recently. Two hours after receiving news of his death his widow became insane, killed her four children and mortally injured herself by jumping from a fourth story window. Disease has ravaged some of the grouse preserves in Scotland to an alarming ex tent. On one moor recently out of 2G0 birds killed all had to be buried. Along the line of the railway which runs through the grounds of the Paris exposition are placards in twenty-eight languages intended to remind passengers of the dangers of the road. A process has been invented by means of which photographs can be printed al most as fast as a newspaper, and without dependence on sun or light. They are said to be of the first quality. Two brothers-in-law in New York were engaged in a rough fight the other day, and the blind son of ono took up a slato and hurled it in the direction of his uncle's voice. His ear was better than the eye of some of our riflemen, as the slate hit the man in the forehead and fractured the skull, so that his condition is critical.

Somebody has remembered that when the World's fair was held in Now York, thirty years and more ago, a high tower which o'ertopped old Trinity church was a prominent feature of the show. It was called Latham's tower, from it9 inventor. When the Crystal palace, constructed for the fair, was burned, the tower went along with if. The Salo of a Child. It would appear from a case that has just been heard before a French tribunal that tho salo of a child is no very serious offense. The parents of the little girl in question resided in the Faubourg St. Antoine, Paris, and in their case it could not bo pleaded that they had too many mouths to feed, since they had but ono child, a girl aged G years. Even this charge, however, they found to be too j heavy an encumbrance, 60 it was decid ed to get rid of tho poor little creature to the best advantage. An acrobat chancing to bo brought into connection with them, tho unnatural couple sold tho child to him for the sum of 4, half of which was at once paid, it being un derstood that the remaining half should bo handed over after the purchaser had tested the value of his acquisition. Tho little girl was in consequence taken away by the acrobat, hut a couple of weelc3 later he put jus purchase into a train and sent her home, alleging that she jxssessed none of tho requisite qualities for the profession to which he destined her. The affair came to the knowledge of the police, the father and mother were arrested and placed on trial. They wero, however, treated with singular in- diligence, the father getting off with a sentence of three months' imprisonment, ana tno motuer, who nau so nttie ot u mother's feeling as to sell her offspring to a stranger, escaping with a warning. London Standard. Aftor aiany Years. Many years ago a little colored girl, 6 years old, went to live in tho family of Mr. James Meder, a worthy Quaker of Falmouth. In that family was a little white girl, 4 years old. The two children grow up as sisters and tho friendship con tinued for eighteen years, it is said, with out an unkind word passing between them. At tho end of that time they were seoarated. the Meder rirl ?ointr west, where shemarried, and the colored M marrying a man named Purness jn Bangor and moving to Brunswick in 1873.

Lambert, of Denver, Colo., had made several ineffectual attempts to find her old playmate, and a few weeks ago, while in Portland, she asked a colored man whom sho met in a store if ho knew such a woman as Mrs. Furness. As it happened the man could give the required information and Mrs. Lambert went to Brunswick. When entering the room she looked the old colored woman full in the face and quietly asked, ''Do you know me?" "Xo,'' was tho reply. "What I don't thee know the Quaker?' The old familiar Quaker form brought instant recognition, and the two thus re united indulged in alternate smiles and tears as they talked over their happy lives in early childhood.

Some of the Famous Riots That Have Occurred During tho Heated Terms of Past Tears July the Month. In Which lawlessness Most Prevail. Hot weather and crime I There really seems, at first thought, no reason why the two should be coupled. The degree of caloric, as indicated by the innocent look ing thermometer, Beems to have nothing to do with the domination of man over his moral nature. To suppose that man istin finenced to crime by tho mere fact thaththa weather is twenty degrees higher than would bo really comfortable is to suppose him a poor creature, indeed, but that is the fact. At least the police say so, and statistics say so. And perhaps the strongest confir mation of it may be found by recalling the fact that nearly all the riots that have dis- ry THE WIDE AWAKE EIOTS. graced Xew York in the course of the last half century or so have occurred in July. This has even coma to be called the month of riots becauso of this curious fact. The great parade of the striking cloak makers the other day was entirely a peace able demonstration. Xot a blow was struck in the course of it all excepting by one foolish park policeman, who became ex cited without cause possibly on account of tho heat and by a woman whom it is charitabletosupposewascrazy. ButI stood on the curb with Inspector Williams the famous Capt. Williams of former times and he said: "See how narrow the margin is between peace and disorder. Those men are desperate; they say they are all hungry, and more than all, they are hot. If ono man should Bpring out as a leader and propose some act of violence we'd have to jump in and club them, for they would do whatever he suggested." Tho inspector spoko calmly enough. Ho has learned to keep his old timo Berserker rages in check. But I have repeatedly Been him before ho learned that lesson, and I looked at him keenly and imagined I saw a dilation of his eye that told how little irksome such a duty would be. He is a born fighter and he was standing in the sun. The first Abolition riots, so called (the Abolitionists being the ones attacked), oc curred as a result of a Fourth of July meeting in this city in 1830. The bitter ness of political feeling continued from that time until aftertho war, and although fighting was infrequent it did occur from timo to time. It was, if lam not mistaken, in tho campaign of 1852 that the "Wide Awakes" organized, and in that summer there were several small riots in Xew York. It was necessary, so the police say now, for a man to go armed if he wore a Wide Awake hat and uniform. Of course all these small political riots were insignificant compared with the great draft note of July, 1863. That was the most terrible municipal disturbance that ever occurred in an American city. For three weeks the entire police force and all the militia that were not at the seat of war were fighting night and day against such a mob as has seldom been seen. Private houses wero plundered, men mostly ne groes were hung to lampposts by hun dreds, the colonel of a regiment was killed at the head of his command, and business was generally suspended all over tho city, for the reason that it was not safe to go about the streets even in broad daylight. It was estimated that over 8,000 persons were killed in the city in those three weeks, but tho exact number was never known. For months even for two or three years afterward it was no uncommon thing for the police to find in the shanties of the squatters on uptown lot3 elegant furniture, costly laces, and even jewelry of the most expensive kinds. They were the booty of the riots. But before this a remarkable riot had occurred in July. It was in 1657, and the opportunity for tho riot came out of tho disbanding f the old police force the "MMnereas. astney wero caneo, poeanse of the sufflcather hate they- woro, like fire- scene Dtmiya diutt riots. men.

Bayard street was chosen, as a battle ground, ac&iwo barricades of wagons were thrown up about trm iumdred feet apart, behind which tho two gangs stationed themselves with rifles and began firing. Nothing more than the rivalry hetween the gangs and a natural love of fighting appears to have been the cause of the out break, but It was a serious one and lasted three days. One day thirteen men were killed by tho bullets and not one of them was a member of either gang. On the third day tho Bowery boys secured from some quarter a howitzer, which they loaded with grapoandputon&fee&wagon, which was started for their barricade. They were going to blow the other gang out of existence. It happened that the Seventh regiment was on its way to a Fourth of July cele bration when Chief Tallmadga called on the colonel for aid, and he marched his men behind the polico force of twenty-five, as they started to capture the howitzer. It was found in Chatham-square and captured after a slight struggle, and the riot was speedily broken up, more by the moral force of the presence of the seventh than by the strength of tho police. The Orange riot is too well remembered to need description now. It occurred in July. The Tompkins square riots did not, but they were not real riots, inasmuch as the citizens did not light, nor offer to. They assembled in public meeting, and the police attacked them. There was no fighting beyond the throwing of a? few bricks by the men who were running to escape from the terrible night sticks of thejiolke. All this-does not 9how that hot weather produces riots, certainly. Every one of these disturbances, and many others that might be mentioned, had their origin in something entirely, different from the weather and entirely independent of it. The connection is nevertheless a direct one. It is very seldom that a man commits sui cide or assaults or kills another because it is hot. Yet tho fact remains that assaults, suicides and murdera are all far more fre quent in summer than in winter in Xew York city, and there is a reason for it. To understand this reason fully you must visit the tenement house regions of tho city on a very hot day or nig-ht. There live the poor tho poorly fed, poorly housed, poorly educated (as a rule) and least re sponsible members of the community. Riots, assaults and murders are not com mon among the more fortunate people, who have at least all their moderate de- ORJLKOE KIOTS. sires gratified. Among the poor there is an amount of physical suffering from the heat that is enough to make a saint savages. Xo ordinary man can be expected to see his wife and children sleeping, as I have many times seen them sleep, on the stones of the sidewalks or the bare roofs of the tenement houses and preserve his amiabil ity. His irritation at their and his own physical discomfort is likely to assume a spirit of resentment against those who are more fortunate. This feeling is likely to be aggravated by conversation with others as badly off as he, and still further by joining them in tho only luxury within the poor man's reach beer. Drink affects men more quickly in hot weather than in cold. Let some ques tion of special excitement be under discus sion at such a time and it is easy to see how a riot is more easily stirred up than it would bo in the winter. This is not theo rizing. It is a fact. The well to do know nothing of the sufferings of the poor in July until they go to the poor man's homo and see for themselves. Aside from this question of crime as affected directly by tho heat of summerin a great city, there is a direot loss to the community from the heat that is not easily figured up, but which is very great. Men cannot work in summer as they do in win tor, and business is interrupted to a greater extent than is generally realized. Few Eersons appreciate how slight a cause may icreaso the friction of the great machine we call commerce, and how greatly that friction may delay its working. A sick horse, a sun struck laborer, an overworked and wilted messenger, a lazy clerk or any other one of the direct results of hot weather may interfere with an enterprise of great importance, and such things do, every snmmer, and every specially hot day In summer, delay operations to such an ex tent that they are counted on as regular incidents of business.

The recent great performance of 12 ft 14 in- for standing broad jump without weights by Joseph Darby, of England, and his clearing on the same day with dumb bell3l4 ft. 2 in. for a standing jump have caused disensssions concerning the merit of the two perfonaances. The world's record for a standing broad jump with dumbbells is 14 ft. 5fln.,by George W. Hamilton, of America, and Hamilton never saw tho day when he could clear over 10 ft. 6 in. without weights. He estimated that there should be a difference of 4 feet be tween jumping with and without weights, and that to fit Darby's case would make the Englishman ablo to clear over lfl feet with the dumbbells.

Byron McClelland is one of tho most popular man in turf circles and the proud possessor of Sallio McClelland, tho swift footed daughter of Hmdoo and Red and Blue. It will be remembered that in the great EcHpse stake race, runatMorris park recently, the hith erto invincible Russell was de feated by the roy ally bred filly. The race was a romnlptfl snrnrisn BTKOX M'CLEIiAXD. for Bvrm Qnd ft veritable godsend, for he had been playing in bad luck for a long time. The amount whioh Sallio McCleQand won for her owner was S24,8S5. That victory placed Byron McClelland second on the winning list at Westchester, the Morris stable tak ing first place with $32,010 to it3 credit. Caledonian Games. It has been noticed that there are not nearly so many Caledonian games booked for the summer as in former years, when all through the northern part of the United States and southern part of Canada so many town3 would hold games. Tho opinion seems to be among Scotchmen that ono reason for the decline is that on account of money prizes being given many athletes were de veloped who made specialties at one or two events and this set would go through the circuit winning all the prizes and actually killing competition, which people who attended the games expected to see. Athletes who take part in these games say that although there aro not so many small games given there are more good ones now than ever, for tho largo cities in America continue to hold their customary contests and are giving better prizes than formerly. A Columbus Expert. R. Johnson is a member of the Columbus team of tho Americau association tlds year and occupies the same position that he did last season. He showed up very well at the end of the season, standing seventh in B. JOUXSOX the fielding records as a third baseman und eleventh as a right firlder However, as he played in but 44 gaines in the latter position, it is hardly fair to judge him by tho record of such players as Wolf or Vis ner, who were first ai.d second respectively. Johnson played in 1 garnet at third bane, making 70 put outs, 10 assists, IS errors, and accepted 95 chance3 out of a total of L10 offered. Hard to Kill. Killing an elephant is by no means nn easy task. One of tho two Indian eif phantd given by tho Prince of Wales to tho Berlin zoological gardens some years ago lately killed his keeper, and the au thorities decreed his execution. So a strong steel wire was prepared, and one morning as Rostoin walked out of Lis cage tho nooso was neatly dropped OTr-r his head and forty-two men prcparfd to draw it tight. But the great brut, fuel ing some discomfort, snapped tne wire in a second and is Ptill rjjoing exig ence. New York Evening I' -,t. Js?f? DRS. TERRILL P0RDY.

"W6s carried flora the prize ring te his dying bd he had culti vated his pugilistic abilities, and when he lay gasping and delirious, after the knock out administered by Frank Gerrard in a set to at Chicago the other night, he clinohed his fists and sparred at the air as though engaged in a contest for the belt of life with the angel of death. BREXNAX. GERRARD. Brennan and Gerrard were "light weights," and the match between them that resulted so disastrously was arranged by "baokers" who thought they could make money out of the two poor brutes who stood up and thumped each other at their masters' bidding. The battle lasted for only five rounds. Then Brennan was hauled out of the ring like a-slaughtered beef, and his conqueror received what is popularly termed an "ovation." When the beaten fighter had breathed his last, however, the police stepped in and arrested five of the chief abettors of the affair, who later on will have to answer the charge of man slaughter. HE CARRIED OUT HIS THREAT. How Desperato John Lilly Ended Hh Convict Life. C. A. Lilly, alias J. S. Baldwin, a thief and desperate burglar, who was not long ago arrested in New Orleans, con victed of burglary and sentenced to eight een months in the penitentiary, has long been known in many stattw as a dare devil of the worst kind, and about five years ago was arrested in Arkansas for theft and sentenced to the penitentiary. no was taken on the train en route to the jail by two officers, bukbefore the trip to his prison cell was ended he succeeded in directing the attention of the officers to another part of the car, and with the train flying along at the rate of thirty-live miles an hour, flung himself from the car through the window and made good his es cape. After this exploit he drifted about and finally reached New Orleans, where he im mediately robbed a tailor shop aud was arrested. He gave the name of Baldwin to tho po lice, but they soon recognized" him as the famous Lilly. After his convic tion, ai. before his sentence, he made two almost successful at tempts to escape by filing the bars TOIIK LILLY. of his prison, and was only foiled by the in cessant watchfulness of his keepers. When taken into court to receive his sentence Lilly maintained an insolent and defiant demeanor and was sentenced to eighteen months in the penitentiary at hard labor. Then it was that he launched forth his in vective, defied the court and authorities, and swore that no bars of theirs were strong enough to hold him. He was safe ly landed in tho penitentiary and the offi cials there notified fully of his desperato character and his boasts of ability to es cape. Some few nights ago it became necessary to transfer a batch of the prisoners con fined in tho penitentiary at Baton Rouge to the Nita crevasse. Lilly was among the number, and to make assurance doubly sure in his case he was handcuffed to Pierro Beatin, another desperate burglar. By some unknown means, however, Lilly had contrived to secure a file, and while sitting under the eyes of his guard de liberately filed the manacles in two.. Then in full sight of his keepers he stood up and cooly dived overboard in mid stream. The boat was stopped almost immediate ly, but no trace of the daring Lilly could be found, although a protracted search was made. It is believed that he was drowned, but drowned or alive he mado good his boastful throat that he would es cape. Beatin was caught before he could follow Lilly's example. A GIANT HORSE THIEF. IT Is Six Foet Six Inches Tall and Has a llecorcl. Jim Martin, a horse thief known throughout Nebraska, western Missouri and eastern Kansas as "Tennessee Jim," C"Sv 'lvas arrested the other day in Kan sas City by Detect ive Con O'Hara, the old veteran of the force who has fought crime and criminals for a quatter of a eent ury. Martin had a couple of horses he was trying to pell. Shortly after he was locked up r-a Ka3$$&e&CSK? vvs&ssv JAMES MARTIN. Constable Smith, of Platte City, Clay coun ty, arrived, c-companied by W. H. Barber, a farmer of Clay county, from whom the horses were stolen. They identified Mar tin as the man they wanted and showed a warrant for his arrest. Martin, although only 22 years of age. is a tough of the most desperate kind. He stands 6 feet 6 inches in his stockings and Is magnificently proportioned. A year ago he was arrested in Smith ville, Gluy connty, for robbing a man named Al Moore. He was sentenced to a term of imprisonment in the calaboose at SmithvUle. and three days after his incarceration succeeded in burning down the jail and making his es cape. He afterward fired the hotel in Smithville and nearly burned the entiro town. He was suspected of many thefts of horses and burglaries in Clay county, but always evaded detection until now He began work last spring as a hired hand on Barber's farm, and on a recent Sunday night, drawing his wagas up to date and taking Barber's teani, he decamped, reach ing Kansas City in the morning, only to bo arrested half an hour af terward. When Constable Smith came for his prisoner, such was his fear that Martin would escape that he borrowed a couplo of leg shackles from Chief Speers, put them on him and then securely tied his hands behind him with a rope strong enough for a boat's cable. William Sextan, the billiard cxnert. is considerabh improved in health over last j spring, and he says he fecb as though he j might be able to jump right in now and j play balk line or cushion carroms almost as well as ever. "It'is a prculiar thing," he j say, 'but- J thought I knew about all mere wis m uiuiaras a tew years ago when I was playing so welkfbut no matter how I take up the cue, whether just to knock the balls around a little or r-lny a stiff friendly game with some ore, I learn something new each time, and it is no wonder that when a men once knows enough about the game to appreciate it a little he never wall cease olivine it."
