The engine struck the ties. One tie broke the pilot and was fastened between the engine and wheels so that it could handly be removed. About a mile further along, when the train was running slower, another tie was encountered, tied to the track. The railroad men have names ot men whom they have reason to suspect. They were actuated by vindictiveness toward the railroad company, and drove away the man who remonstrated with them and who tried to save j the train. Murderer Freed by Friends. Starke (Fla.) special: Frank Foster, who was to have been hanged here for the murder of W. H. Epperson, two years ago, was forcibly taken from the County Jail by a party of unknown men. It was at first believed that he was the victim of a lynching party, but as no trace of Foster’s body can be found the opinion is now general that he was rescued by friends. Foster is a very desperate character, and a great deal of uneasiness is felt because the man had threatened to kill the county officials who were prominent in securing his conviction for murder. A posse has been sent to look for the prisondr.

Martin D. Loppy was killed by electricity at Sing Sing Prison, N. ¥., for the murder of his wife. As Loppy entered the room he looked about once, and then his eyes fpll on the death chair and rested there. The keeper motioned to it, and without a word Loppy walked over and sat down. His eyes stared straight ahead as he settled himself back, with his head against the rubber cushion. The deputy keeper put his arms in position along the arms of the chair. He made no sign of resistance as the straps were adjusted and buckled tight. Dr. McDonald superintended the adjustment ot the straps, while the Warden stood by, a silent spectator. O|her straps were adjusted about the legs and others across the chest until the man was firmly bound down. Then the face strap, covering the chin, and in part the nose was fastened in place. When the current was turned on the body of Loppy stiffened with a suddenness that was startling to the witnesses, to whom electrocution was new. It strained against the straps until they seemed cutting into the flesh. Every muscle was tense. When it was turned off the body relaxed. It was allowed to remain in the chair for a few minutes, and then the straps were unbuckled. Where the electrodes were bound, the heat had burned the skin, and it was puffed and blistered. The body was lifted from the chair quite limp and carried into the adjoining room where it was laid out on the table to await the surgeons’ knives. BIRNED TO DE ATH. A Gasoline Can Explodes and Does Terrible Havoc. The family of Jasper Mans, consisting of father, mother, and three children, was horribly burned at Creston, lowa, by the explosion of a large can of gazoliue that had been stored in the oven of a cook stove and forgotten.

At the time the accident occurred the entire family were gathered about the stove. All the doors and windows were locked and the neighbors who were called to the rescue by the explosion and cries of the injured were obliged to break inthe doors. The small room containing the stove, was a mass of flame when broken open and its inmates were rescued with great difficulty. The two younger (children lived but a short time, and the father and mother aro suffering the most I intense agony from their burns, and cannot live. Two Fanners Killed. A terrible accident occurred at Ottawa, Ohio. William Maidlow and Harry Conine, farmers residing near that place, were Instantly killed by passenger train No, 3 on the D. & M. railroad.

The body of Connie was dragged a hundred yards before being thrown from the track, while that of Maidlow was carried nearly 400 yards before it was thrown from the Mr. Maidlow was a prominent farmer and very highly respected. Mr. Conine was a young man also highly respected, and both were well known in this community. Bold Bank Bobbery. Two well-dressed strangers entered Fahyer’s bank, at Marlon, Ohio, and while one engaged the cashier's attention, the other reached through the railing and grabbed a tray containing 81,500. The two men made good their escape, although pursued by the police. About 10 o’clock at night the robbers were apprehended at Kenton, Hardin County, agtid a posse started in pursuit. The smaller man escaped but his pal was finally fatally shot in the fight and is now dying. A large crowd surrounded the place and the excitement was intense. Over 81,100 was recovered upon the person of the wounded man, whose identity is unknown. It is said the robbers were father and son, and the father was the one shot. A Disgrace to America. Valparaiso special: The appearance in court of a sailor of the United States steamship Baltimore in an inebriated condition was a regretable incident more than one way. The Judge of Crimes called the attention of Capt. Schley to the suggestion that the probable cause of the disorders of October 16th, was for a similar state of intoxication on the part of his men. This is. taken as a forecast of a decision by the court, to that effect. The guilty tar has been court martialed on the Baltimore. II is sentence is thirty days on bread and water in double irons. The sailor also loses three months pay. The sailor is an Englishman by birth. Rebels Defeated. Shanghai special: An official report has been received by the Chinese Government from General Nich. commanding the troops in the Kinchow district, to the effect that he had met and engaged the rebels on November 25, and defeated them with great loss.

'Whale Found on the Shore of Maryland. A sperm whale was found on Green Run Beach, near Snow Hill, Md., by Surfman Jesse G. Stanford, of the North Reach Life-Saving Station.

The monster is thirty feet long and weighs 9 10,000 pounds: The surfmen have cut It up, and will reduce it to oil. Inside the whale were found a number of empty bottles and a five-gallon demijohn, sealed up and full of good old rye whisky. This may appear incredible, but the demijohn was taken to Snow Hili with its contents intact. McManus Hanged. John McManus was hanged in Moyamensing prison yard, Philadelphia, Pa. After the prisoner had ascended the scaffold he deliberately sat down and took off his shoes, he having sworn that he would “never die with his boots on.” He then stood up and in a broken voice said that he humbly asked forgiveness and said that he freely forgave everybody. His arms were then pinioned, the rope adjusted to his neck, the black cap placed on his head and while the priests were praying for him the'slgnal was given and the drop fell. His neck was broken by the fall. His crime was the m urdcr of Eugene McGinnis on February 31.

Forty men were at work in the immediate vicinity when the explosion took place. The furnace was being blown out for repairs. Hot bricks were thrown in every direction with great force. The fire spread rapidly to some of the injured men whom the flying bricks had knocked senseloss. The uninjured workmen at once went to the rescue of their co-laborers and dragged them out of further danger. Horrible Crime. Great excitement prevails at Mahanoy Citv, Pa., over the finding of the dead and half-clothed body of Mrs. Agnes Lawrence on the mountain near that city. The ground in the vicinity showed evidences of foul play. The limbs were cut and bruised and her clothing was covered with frozen blood that flowed from her wounds. An examination by eminent physicians revealed the fact that the woman was outraged and afterwards murdered. Officers are now searching for a clue that will lead to the Capture of the murderer. Liberal Millers. Minneapolis special: The millers propose sending a shipload of 40,000 barrels of flour to starving peasants of Russia. Five thousand American millers will be asked to co-operate. The Russian Minister at Washington has been communicated with and in his absence the charge d'affaires at New York wires that ho has laid the matter before his country.

National Democratic Convention. Reign of Terror. There is a veritable reign of terror in Oakland, Cal. Footpads, burglars and thieves are plying their callings practically unmolested, and outrages are becoming more numerous than ever. An idea of the seriousness of the situation can be obtained from the fact that the Wells Fargo Express Company has ordered its express wagons to be accompanied to and from the depot by a guard armed with shotguns, a thing that has not been done since frontier days. A Brave Burglar. A peculiar robbery occurred at Freelandville. Ind. The thief entered the jewelry store of Mr. Ritterskamp and took jewelry to the amount of over 8100. Then he entered the store of William Kerchoff. The building was surrounded by a number of citizens, and when the robber discovered his situation fled, breaking through the line of men and escaping unhurt. No one knew him.
