IBOX SHIPBUILDING AT CHESTER, i
Vtxr York Capital not Coming to Time
Some Inquiries About Johnny Roach.
Ttie ancient fable of. "the Farmer and the
Larks" la not yet obsolete, and it is still true
that If you want anything; done you must dolt
yourself. Our enterprising little neighbor,
Chester, is having this fact renewedly and forci
bly pressed upon her attention. 8ome months
aeo her people revelled in golden-hued prophecies
ot brr future greatness, founded on the fact that
John Koach, prpprietor of the Morgan Iron
"Works In New lork, bad made an extensive
pnrcbase of land within the city, along the
river front. We had, at the time, doubts as to
whether this purchase would result in the
establishment of any mighty enterprise, and our
doutts were much Increased when we learned
that Mr. Koach proposed to "build his hulls on
the Delaware and his machinery at his New
York works." This, it seems to us though
perhaps practical, was not a wise policy, nor
one tending to the great result of lessening the
cost of building iron ships.
Mr. Koach, however, has as yet done nothing
toward building his shipyard, and the Chester
Democrat facetiously asks, "iiow are you,
Johnny Koach i"' and then proceeds to inquire
Whether or not Mr. Koach really means business,
or is merely speculating in land. It says that
New Yorkers, of whom they have expected so
much, have thus far been a failure, and thinks
that the idea that New York has any respect for
Chester is a mere hurtful fallacy. It gives
several instances in which great expectations
founded on New York capital have come to
naught, and returning to Mr. Koach, says:
"Now, how are you Johnny Koach? is the
qneption, and what are you going to turn into?
A leviathan or a speculator? Did you come over
here and bur a tract of laud, and make promises,
to get the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress
to vote for your subsidy scheme? Out with it
or down comes the printer's devil. VVe would
like to have vou come bat we sincerelv believe
that if you had got your $20,000,000 subsidy bill
through you would have gone to New York
to build the said steamers. Chester would have
been a land of promise. You must remember
that, when the Keaney works were offered, you
did not see it. Do you think that your 'big
thing' will come to town?"
The Democrat evidently has doubts n the
matter, and in all similar projects depending on
New York capital, and says further: "That we
are to be a great and rapidly-growing place,
mostly through iron shipbuilding, few will
deny; but that the capital is coming from New
York, or that those who have thus far come
among us are anything more than mere specu
lators, few persons can be persuaded."
We hesitate to say anything which would ap
pear to cast a shadow over this bright hope, and
could scarcely be induced to do so, did we think
Chester would accept the unpalatable truth, but
eince she will doubtless attribute what we eay
to the jealousy of a supposed rivalry of interest,
it will not hurt her, and will serve the cause of
truth, to state the simple fact that Chester is,
for several reasons, not especially adapted to
iron shipbuilding. Nature has given her some
great obstacles to contend with, and her efforts
in that line of industry have never yet been suc
cessful. For many kinds of manufacturing no
place has better advantages, but in the building
01 Iron ships it is doubtful If any amount of capi
tal and enterprise can make her great.

YANKEE ASSURANCE.
Young New York In the Vatican.
The New York correspondent of the Boston
Journal tells this story:
One of our most eminent brokers has a portion
of bis family travelling in Europe. Among
them is a young son, who is preparing by travel
to join his brothers in the business of the street.
In company with some friends he made one of
the party who were to have an audience with
the Pope. As is well known, these audiences
are held in the library of the Vatican. The
visitors who have tbe honor of an Interview are
ranged on either side, single file. The Pope
passes down the line. As he passes slowly aloug
devout Catholics kneel and kiss the slipper;
quasl-Catholics kneel and kiss tbe hand of bis
Holiness. Others stand and salute the hand
which is extended to all. The young New Yorker
was the last on the line. He did not kneel to
kiss tbe shoe, nor did he kiss the outstretched
band, but seized it, and gave it a good, hearty,
Yankee shake. The consternation at the auda
city of the young man was very marked. The
Pope, who was evidently taken by surprise,
was tbe first to recover himself. lie shook his
finger roguishly at the youth, laid his hand on
bis shoulder, and said: "You are from New
York. I presume, young man?" "I am a New
Yorker, was the reply. "I thought so," said
the Pontiff, as he passed on, intimating that a
New Yorker was quite daring enough for any
thing. When questioned how he dared to do
such a thing, Young America replied: "Dare
do it?, I shook hands with General Grant and
General Scott, and why should I not shake
bands with tbe Pope as with any other eminent
mani" The atlair is quite tne taiK ot tne street,
where the youue man is well known. It will
make bim quite as famous as the act of Raleigh
when be flung his cloak in the mud before
Queen Bees.
A SINGULAR SUICIDE.
A Man Throw Himself tn Front of a
Lo-
comotlve and lit Cut to i'leces.
The Indianapolis Evening A'ews says that just
before the ot. Louis express on tne lerre
Hante, St. Louis and Vatidalla Railroad started
from the Union Depot at 750 o'clock that morn
ing, a strange man was observed to be slowly
walking back and forth near the engine on the
couth side of the track. In one hand he held a
valise and in the other a shawl. Just as the
train beiran to get in motion, and while still in
the depot, he was seen to drop his valise and
shawl, give a sort of groan or exclamation oi
come kind, itoop a little and plunge headfore
most under the en trine, between the forward
trucks and the drive-wheel. Of course no mortal
could have rescued him from death under the
circumstances. One drive-wheel struck him.
turning the man over on his back, just above
the left hip, and literally crushed the lower part
of the body, severing tue leu leg ana tne tmgn
therefrom, and permitting bis bowels to pro
trude. His right leg was also severely bruised
above tbe knee, and broken below.
Tbe engine was reversed and the train stopped
within four feet from the place where the man
fell. Tbe body was pulled out and taken to the
Surgical Institute, where death followed within
two or three minutes alter us arrival.
