The Pennsylvania Railroad in Virginia.
There is at present extraordinary
quietude in legislative affairs at Harris
burg; which we presume is mainly
owing to the fact that the Pennsylva
nia Railroad officials are now busily
engaged at Richmond, in laying siege
to the Legislature of Virginia. These
famous manipulators, although perfect
ly competent to manage one State at a
time, seem to doubt their ability to prop
erly attend to two big ones at once; and
HO we may expect the quietude of Har
risburg to continue for a week or two,
until; Virginia being swallowed, the
boa-constrictor is ready for its old meal
upon Pennsylvania. Virginia being a'
virgin State, which has never heretofore
been corruptly approached by the se
ductive managers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has naturally given them a
great deal of trouble, and there are even
indications that they may be unsuccess
ful in their present vigorous attempt
to take possession of her.
Our readers will naturally wonder
what railroad connections the Pennsyl
vania Central Itailroad, running east
and west, can possibly want with roads
running north and south in eastern
Virginia ; since it would seem to he phy
sically impossible for the latter to throw
any important trade upon the former.
The simple answer, probably, is that the
Pennsylvania Railroad has no such
wants or interests, but its managers and
the freight monopoly barnacles that are
attached to it, may obviously have im
portant private interests to subserve in
eontrollingfreightsanywhere ; and they
ire sufficiently unseruptilous, to use the
Immense power and resources of the
railroad which they manage in 11111:ii

State but as a pathway Icy which the
products of the West may reach the
ships or New York. Local interests
along the line of the Road are ruthlessly
sacrificed and manufactories are pre
vented from springing up thereon be
cause of the discrimination in freights
made against the towns on the line fur
whose carrying trade the Itailroad tuts
tin competition, and in favor of localities
.outside of the State which are blessed
with a choice of railways to take
their goods to market. lien , in
the City of I.aneaster, a town of 22,
nod population, no less than three pas
senger trains a day rush at rapid speed
across our streets, tud deigning to stop
an instant within our limits to ;teconclinc
date the travel of our city. Such may
be the fate of Rielimond if this road gets
its charter to Fredericksburg. Sonic of
these days it will see passenger trains
being driven rapidly across its outskirts
without stopping, because the exigencies
of competition for " through " travel
forbid the accommodation of focal traffic.
Even Philadelphia is treated in this way
by the Pennsylvania itailroad, and a
through train rushes through it every
night front New York Mille \Vest with
oat stopping. The interests of Philadel
phia, the mother of the Pennsylvania
/Zallroad, a city that built itand nursed It
Into vigor, are saeri lice,' to those of New
York because the Road finds its profit
hi so dicing; and Its managers 11110 W Oct

the Richmond Eitquircr says, " they
are not bothering themselves with the
question of building up this or that

selves about nothing but the building
up of a railroad monopoly. They coil-
Ll'ol a grand and mighty work which
has but one fault; it is too vast. It con
fers too great power:upon the men who
wield it, and perhaps they would Ice
more than human if they did not abuse
it.
Is Philadelphia negroes have been
admitted to the Jury-box. In Laneas•

not n single darkey has been allowed his
" Inalienable right" to dispense law un

where Thad. Stevens practised?
THE LANCASTER WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER, WEDNESDAY . , FEBRUARY 22, 1871.
The Insecurity of Our Prison
The ease with which prisoners effect
their escape from our prison is certainly
remarkable. Every few months some
desperate villain picks his way through
the walls of the building and goes forth
to prey again upon society. The ac
count of the escape of the negro burglar
Hamilton, which we publish elsewhere,
shows that the prison was poorly con
structed. No doubt the contractor was
bent upon making all the money he
could out of the job, and that will ac
count for the inferior character of the
mason-work. One would suppose that
where lime is so plenty and so cheap as
it is in Lancaster county, enough would
be used to make good mortar for
laying the stones of a prison which is
used as a penitentiary, but we find that
even in so small a matter the builder
cheated the tax-payers. It really seems
as if nothing can be honestly done in
this country any more. Almost every
branch of business seems to have be
come dernoralized,and public work of all
kinds is apt to be poorly executed no mat
ter what may be the price paid for hav
ing it done. If the Lancaster County
Prison cannot be made secure,the public
will soon demand the repeal of the law
which allows felons to be confined with
in it for any long period, and our crimin
als will have to be sent to the Eastern
Penitentiary for safe-keeping.
That the numerous escapes which
have occurred at our prison might have
been prevented, by proper care on the
part of the officials, the fae very clearly
,hurt. When Le Ilarron, the burglar,
escaped, the watchman whose duty it
was to look after hint wal• boozing in a
beer-house down town. Smith, the
horse-thief, who made his exit last
week, duped the under-keeper by a
show of good conduct, and let himself
dawn by a line from the tower.
Th, truth is that our prison has been
run as a political maeltine, instead of
conauchal ,uch an
11.11 iii L'. t has been Made a harbor
or incompetent persons who have owed
:lprOilltlll , lll to political influence.
•hr officials have been chosen, not MI
cilium of any fitness for the peculiar
luties attaching to their offices, but on
count of their relationship to the I
pectin s, the Keeper, or some intluen
ial politician. [oder the new Prison
till the keeper is made elective.
C

nany of the evils which surround the
irison may be done away with, but the
hire fail ilia( the office is maile elective

clrrupt politicians will tight desperately
to secure the nomination of one of their
creaturei, and he will be elected if lie
.eetires a hare majority or a plurality (4
he votes east at the primary eleetions.
It will require more vigilance than the
wople of Lancaster County have hereto
ore exhibited to insure such reforms as
re needed under the provisions of the
new Pris.oti Bill. Let that fart be kept
teadily in view by every conscientious
man in the Ih2publit'all party.
The Spring Elections
The old plan , of electing township offi
cers in the Spring worked well fur many
yems. The people of the different town
ships met together, put up good men
for the different positions to be filled,
and elected them quietly. As ageneral
thing the party which was in the ma
jority succeeded in carrying its regularly
nominated ticket!through at the i , :pring
eleetions,but it frequently happened that
improper candidates were beaten. 'rho
sturdy yeomanry of the State would not
be brawl by party usage at the Spring
electrons, told that fact, which was
well undertood by the managers of
each party, led to the nomination of un
exceptionable men in most eases. A
couple of years ago a law was passed
abolishing the spring elections, and en
acting that township officers'-should be
chosen at the general election lit Octo
ber. The change was not found to work
well, lulu] the people or the rural districts
desire a return to the old system. In
accordance with (heir wish a bill re-esta
blishing S)oritig elections Into passed the
Senate by an almost unanimous vote,
and is now before the I louse. We have
no doubt it will pass that body, toll un
doubtedly ought to do. Iu the excite
ment attendant upon a general election
the people of the different townships
eaunot pay that attention to their town
ship tickels which ought to be given to
thorn. 'Township affairs are 1111 port an
and the officers who control them should
be the best moo Within the limits el'
these Stale. The IWO-
Ide of Pennsylvania would be less af
fected by the acts o f an in,,mipetpnt.
(;,, , ,r1,,,r than by the combined :lethal
of incompetent township olllvials. Let
the Spring elections he restored.
Adjourned Mei
Ilii , inuss has been dull at llarrisburg

Isontent with the usual adjournment
front Thursday or Friday of each week
Lo the following Monday night or Tues
day morning. 'Flue House has adjourn
ed over to the fTtli, and the Senate un
til the 2:td. The probabilities are that
the pre, , ent session will be a 11/11g one.
The apportionment will take inuelt
Hume and there will likely lie a protract
ed struggle over the question of calling
a Constitutional l'ont•ention. So far
very little business of importance has
been tramueted.
the power of our Legislature was
restricted to the passage of public laws,
as it should be, and the mass of private
legislation which engages the attention
of members cut up by the roots, as it
ought to be, we could get along very
well with biennial sessions. • In thir
teen States the Legislatures only
,meet
ones in two years, and they have better
laws and more honest legislators than
those States which have annual sessions.
B=M=
Bills art . .; now before Congress creat
ing half a dozen or more new Judicial
Districts in different States. The New
York Tribune insists upon it that there
is not the slightest necessity for any in
crease in the number of Federal Courts,
and it eharge3 that the newly made dis
tricts are to be established for the sole
rpose of providing corn fortable places
of retirement for defeated members of
Congress. The Tribioic wants to know
whether representatives who thus lib
erally dispense public funds and places
to their fellows, fear that they will be in
need of like favors in the future. The
results of recent elections are calculated
to remind Radical Congressmen of the
uncertainty of the political future.—
Numbers of those who went forth last
summer full of itionlidence, returned to
Washington after the froybs of October
saddened by unexpected defeat,. It is
for these forlorn gentlemen that the,
new .ludicial Districts are being created, .1
A lienulne Negro In Congress
A genuine negro has at last take!' his
seat on the Republican side of the
House. He Is a member of Congress
from South Carolina, and his full title
is honorable R. 11. Elliott. He is a
Simon-pure African, as black us coal,
and with all the distinguishing features
of the race. The other negro members
are very much mixed. The white Rad
iealti is Congress did not exhibit any
marked degree of cordial feeling toward
the new brother. He was Just a little
too much African for most of them.
Pensions for Soldiers of 1812
The President has signed the bill
granting pensions to surviving soldiers
of the war of 1812, and to widows who
were married to soldiers of that war at
the time of Uietr enlistment. As most
of the w4dows of the heroes of that
struggle were zruuTle,(l after the war was
over, comparatively few w ill receive
relief under this bill.
THE railroad monopolists will attempt
to control the political conventions in
California this year. They have decided
to labor against the renomination of
Governor Haight by the Democrats, as
he has shown them no favor.
Congressional Interference In EleCtione ,
On Wednesday the right of Congress
to regulate ,suffrage in the States was
the .principal subject of discussion In
each of the two houses of Congress. In
the Senate Mr. Morton, who is regarded
as the mouthpiece of the President, took
occasion, in noticingthe joint resolution
of the Indiana Legislature withdrawing
that State'salleged ratification of the Fif
teenth Amendment, to make a bitter as
sault on the Democratic party. He de
nounced all such action as that taken by
the IndianaLegislatureasrevolutionary,
and Indulged in much of thatcoarsevitu-
Peration which makes up the body of
speeches delivered by Radical orators
In Congress and on the stump. Senator
Blair replied to Mr. :Morton in a very
vigorousspeech, showing how the odious
Fifteenth Amendment had been forced
through the Legislatures of the differ
ent States against the will of the peo
ple. He admitted the binding force of
a Constitutional amendment which had
received the form of legal sanction, even
when such formal endorsement was made
' in opposition to the will of the people.
Neither Senator Blair, nor any other
Democrat in the country proposes to
make violent resistance to the Fifteenth
Amendment, notwithstanding the fact
that it was passed by Northern Legisla
tures over the remonstrances of a ma
jority of the people, and put through
Southern Legislatures at the point of
the bayonet. Whilst the Fifteenth
Amendment stands it will be obeyed,
but obedience will not prevent denun
ciation of the method by which it was
forced upon the people, or a free discus
sion of the ellect of negro suffrage upon
our institutions. Mr. Blair's answer til
Senator Morton completely demolished
the wind mill, which that gentleman
had created out of the action of the In
diana Legislature.
In the House the bill reported by the
Judiciary Committee to enforce the
rights of citizens under the Fifteenth
Amendment, came up as the regular
order of the day. It was championed
by leading Radicals, and opposed and
exposed by the Democrats. Very able
1 speeches against it were made by Messrs
Eldridge, Cox, Woodward, stiles, Ax
tell, Mayhant and Voorhees. The Re
publicans replied without effect.to the
convi tieing arguments of the Democrats
against the bill, and the military featu r e,
against which Governor Geary so vigor
ously protested, was finally stricken out,
enough of the more decent Republicans
voting with the Democrats to kill that
' provision. Thus amended the act pass
ed, and it now goes to the Senate.
The bill is an infamous attempt to
create an tinny of federal Officers to
whom is to be intrusted the supervision
and control of elections in the different
Stales. It is founded upon false as
sumptions and is a mere blind to cover
up contemplated frauds and outrages.
Though every Democrat in the North
and many thousands of decent Republi
cans were bitterly opposed to the man
ner in which the Fifteenth Amendment
was given a seeming ratification, no at
tempt Was made to resist its operation.
In Pennsylvania, and throughout the
entire North, the negroes have voted
without let or hinderanee at every elec
tion which has taken place since the
Fifteenth Amendment was declared to
be adopted. In this State the Demo
crats had a majority in one-half the elec
tion districts, but, not in a single in
stance was a colored man denied. the
right to vote or hindered in Sri doing,.
The Democratic party is a law-abiding
party. It yields a ready obedience to
every ellaCilllVlli. which I, binding upon
the citizen, and appeals to the people to
remedy exkting evil.- t hr. aigh the peace
ful agency of the ballot-box. The bill
which has just po,Fed the Lower I I ou,e
of Congress is the crowning art of the
many usurpations of pourer which have
been attempted by the Radical majority.
It strikes at the very basis of our sys
tem of free elections, and proposes to
tranaer the entire c mind of them to a
, set of uncials who are In, he ap p ointed
by underlings of th. , administration.
There is not even the slightest guar_
rutty that the creatures who will be
chosen to control the election officers
of the Slates, and In over-ride the
laws of the land try their arbitra
ry decrees, wilt be either honest or
1 capable. The basest trunk that partisan
1 malignity can select. may I ns chosen to
stand in front :Hid in rear of the ballot
box In which the citizen deposits his
ballot. At the last election in New
Yuri: City the federal officers, who were
selected to liii:ierViiis the lillillit-bliXeS,
! Wl`l*o in 1111111 y 111. , 1111144, , ;!iill Vil'o . ll Crilll
link :Ind i ii ruinous creatures, who would
freeely perjure themselves IMr a very
slight consideration. The law just passed
by the llotie extends the system under
I which such outrages were (qtmtnitted,
adds to the power of tit,. ~m,h,k, and
:tugmenta , Ille jamallies for opposing
their decrees.
1 This law has it mivill lit the desper
ate needs of the Radical party. Recent
elections have alarmed the leaders of
that corrupt. organization. They see
' that the Democrat.y will sweep the
country in 1572 if a free el( etion is al
lowed, and they propose to provide an
agency, by which a fair and honest ex
pression ~f !while opiniun way be pre
vented. That any such device can save
the Republican candidate for President'
from defeat we do not believe. 'fire
tjealousy of the people of the North
ern States has been aroused, and this
act will In tonsify that feeling. The citi
zens of Pennsibiania will resent any at
tempted interference by Yl:lheral officials
with elections in this l'oniwouweall.h.
They know that the Constitution of
the United States reengnizes the right
of the people of each State to determine
for themselves who shall be entitled to
exercise the right of suffrage, and every
attempted interference of the Radical
majority in Congress with that cherish
ed right will add largely to the strength
of the Democratic party.
More Cumulative Voting,
The Senate Committee on Elections
has unanimously reported a bill pre
pared by Hon. C. It. Iluckalew, apply
ing the cumulative system of voting to
the election of County Commissioners
and Auditors, and to the election of bor
ough, ward and township officers gen
erally. We have repeatedly expressed
our approval of this system, and we hope
Mr. Buckalew's bill may speedily be
conw a law. It has been put in operation
in the town of Bloomfield, Mr. Bucka
lew's 'ionic, and has been found to work .
admirably. There is not a county in
the Commonwealth which would not be
benefited by having the minority rep
resented in the Hoard of County Com
missioners and Auditors, and not a bor
ough, ward or township in which the
cumulative system of voting would not
be productive of good results.
GENERAL KII.PATURT is talked of a
the next Radical candidate for (Inver
nor of New Jersey. We hope he may
he nominated and beaten. Ile is one
half blatherskite, the other half black
guard. He took a disreputable woman
with him to Chili, and disgraced this
country loy attempting to introduce her
into the society of respeetable ladies at
Lima.
Gov mcvon STEvENsoN, of Kentucky,
vacated his office on Monday to accept
the United States Senatorship. Ile takes
his seat on the 4th of March. Lieuten
ant-Governor Leslie succeeds him as
Governor. Mr. Leslie will be a candi
date for the nomination for Governor
before the Democratic Convention,
which meets in May.
THE Young Men's Christian Associa
tion of York have engaged Nasby to
lectum for them. They will be likely
to hear such a harangue as no Christian
can listen 0 w,ithout blushing. The
church which employed him to lecture
In Lancaster was heartily ashamed or
him. He wound up by getting liettary
drunk after the lecture was over,
The Democratic State Convention.
The Democratic party occupies a pe
ddler positlen in -the State of Pennsyl
vania at the present time. After strug
gling manfully inthe minority-for more
than a decade, i 1 has at last reached a
stand-point from which it may start
anew on a career of success. It has
placed within its grasp the means by
which it may carry this great State at
the next general election, and make
sure of its twenty-six electoral votes in
the Presidential contest of 1872. It
holds the vantage ground and can break
down. the Radical party. That result, so
devoutly to be desired,can be achieved by
wise councils and careful management,
or it can be forfeited by folly. The peo
pleof Pennsylvania are eminently con
servative in their methods of thought.
Ordinarily they move slowly, anil they
adhere to opinions once formed with
great obstinacy. Gradually the voters
of the rural districts have been attracted
to the Democratic party, until the ma
jority against it has been reduced to
nothing. To-day parties in this State
are very evenly divided,with thechances
of future success in favor of the Democ
racy.
The Slate election which takes place
ext fall will excite much interest. The
leaders of the Republican party will
see and feel its importance. They will
understand how great an influence will
be exerted upon the elections of Is7B by
the result of 1.371, and the whole power of
the State and the National administra
tions will be exerted to prevent a Dem
.ocratic triumph next October. No means
will be spared to secure the election of
the Republican candidates for Auditor
and , Surveyor•(aeueral. It is well that
the Democracy should understand in
the start that they will have no light
task set before them, if they propose to
carry the State. That they have the
advantage now, we do believe, but that
it may be readily lost we are just as
conlident. The next election will be
sure to bring out a very full vote of both
parties. The Slit' e will be redistricted
and members of the Legislature will be
chosen under the new apportionment.
That will add largely to the interest of
the election. We can not rely upon
the apathy of Republicans in the coin
ing contest. We must carry an undis
puted majority of the people with us if
we expect to gain a victory.
In view of there eircumtqanees, 00
me will attempt to deny that a very
grave responsibility will rest upon the
delegates to the next Democratic State
Convention. They can give us either
victory or defeat. If, being actuated by
unselfish motives, they look only to the
interests of the Democratic party, they
can frame a plat fmln which will lie en
dorsed by a decided majority of the
voters of Pennsylvania, and nominate
candidates who will be sure to be elect
ed. There must be no unseemly scram
ble over the offices, and care must be
taken that the best and most available
candidates are selected. Neither local
claims nor personal preferences must be
allowed to influence the delegates in
their action. They must come together
in a proper spirit, prepared to make ally
sacrifice which may be demanded by the
best interests of the party. Of candi
dates there will be an abundance, and
it will not be difficult to select the right
kind of men from the list. All that will
be required to insure success is a proper
degree of prudence cm the part of dele
gates. They will make or mar the future
of the Democratic party i f Pennsylva
nia. Let each one .1 own' remember
that.
Constitutional Reform

\\'e (teem it to be absolutely ....ssential
that the convention should be perfectly
non-partisan in Its composition. Only
in such a convention will the people of
the State have entire confidence. When
the Constitution of New .lersey was rer
vised, though the Democrats were large
ly in the majority, a convention evenly
divided between the two great pat
ties was prOVidt'd fur, and no body
ever assembled In the State which con

hope Mr. ISti,;l“llP•i',4 hill may he so

forlty in Cie convention, and then be
speedily adopted by both houses. If the
demand of the people for constitutional
reform is to be defeated let the Republi
cans take the responsibility or rejecting
a bill which provides for a non-partisan
convention. We do not believe they
will dare to do so,
The Coal questloo
There is much excitement among the
coal-miners in the Anthracite regions of
our State. The miners have been suffer
ing greatly from the elliwtsof tie strike.
They expected to resume work on the
rdh, but just when they had settled a
basis with the operators the railroads
put up the price of freights. The Lehigh
Valley and the Lehigh and Susquehan
na advanced tolls between Wilkesbarre
and Port Johnson and Elizabethport
from to $7.10. Similar trouble has
been experienced with the Reading
Company. This increase in the tariff'
of freights compels operators to keep

St.:NAM!: SuNNEtt. proposes to mix.
the white and black children together
in the schools of Washington city. The
negroes, with a very few foolish excep

selves, but Sumner, with the stubborn,
ness of a true fanatic, insists upon doing
violence to the feelings of both whites
and blacks iu order that his ideas of
equality may be carried out. The forc
ing of two or three negro children into
some of the public schools of the city a
year or two ago, damaged them greatly.
Sumner and such as he, would break

see their peculiar notions abandoned.

Loss of Lancaster under the New Appor
tionment,
A Comparison of the table of taxabies,
upon which the apportionment of the
State for members of the Legislature is
to be made,shows that Lincastercounty
cannot expect to have more than one
Senator and three members of the House
during the next seven years. Other
parts of the Commonwealth have out 7
stripped this county in population. The
mining and manufacturing sections of
the State have drawn to them immense
numbers of inhabitants, while the agri
cultural districts have barely held their
own. The great farming county of
Lancaster has increased its population
very little during the last ten years.—
That will account for some of the loss
we shall suffer in representation, but
the truth is this county was given more
than its fair share of members when the
last apportionment was made. The
Examiner has heretofore admitted that
1 we were not entitled to two Senators.
I It has, however, held that we ought to
be allowed four members of the lower
House under the new apportionment.
It is now forced to admit, that the fig
gores only entitle us to three.
An examination of the figures shows
that the number of taxables to each Sen
ator under the new apportionment will
be nearly 25,000, and for members of the
House d,OOO, or over. The number of
taxables returned by the Commission
ers of Lancaster county is :14,525, just
enough to give us one Senator, and a
fraction of one-fourth more than is suf
ficient to entitle us to three members of
the lower House. Of course we cannot
expect to be allowed a member for the
fractional fourth, and so the loss to Lan
caster county of a Senator and an As
semblyman is certain.
The Entininrt: is of the opinion that a
careful enumeration of the taxables by
the County Commissioners would have
;liven us a larger representation. It does
not mince matters, but speaks out in
very plain terms. It says:
During former administrations of the
Commissioner's °Bice, when it was not
,•ire in the interest of peculation and rascal
' its, and when Peter G. Plierrnan was Clerk,
assessors were impressed with the iin por
tenet, of making a thorough assessment of
every taxable, whenever such assessment
was to be used in apportioning the State.
But of late years the interest of the people
or the party was secondary to deviiiing
ways and means to plunder the treiqury,
or any unfortunate who might happen to
fall into the clutches of those who ruled by
having the emit rol of two (;,ntinissionerx.
The charges contained in the para
graph which we have quoted are of a
grave character. To say that the Coun
ty Commissioners' otlice is "run in the
interests of peculation and rascality " is
such an arraignment of the majority of
that body as might not to he made ex
cept upon the basis of the very best and
most satisfactory evidence. We take
it fur granted that the editor of the
Examih, r speaks by the card. He is
no doubt prepared to back up his charges
with the proof, if the Commissioners
who are alluded to should feel inclined
to appeal to the Courts for the vindica
tion of their character, which is so mer
cilessly assailed. We shall wait with
anxiety to see whether the Commis
sioners will allow this assault upon their
official characters to pass without an
attempt at VlllO iO4OOll. To 00 so would
be such an admission of their guilt as
ought to damn them forever In the esti..

"Nevertheless," said M. Thiers, "the

accepted if consistent with the honor of
France. The task of the administration is
to pacify and reorganize the con airy, re

When this is accomplished the country it
self will decide its destiny.

A Yonnit Woman Falls Into the Hopper
of n Paper Mill, and to Ground to a
Bloody Pulp.
A gentleman from Hamilton, Ohio, gives
the particulars of an accident so horrible in
its sickening details as to be almost beyond
credence. The circumstances are as fol
lows :
On Saturday morning Week, carpenters
eet to work In the third story of Beckett's
paper mill, in that town, for the purpose of
making repairs and improvements in the
third story of the building. In the course
of their repairs it became necessary to take
up part of the floor.
After this had beendune it seems the car
penters went to some other portion of the
building for the purpose of preparing ma
terial to complete the improvement. It ap
pears that this aperture was directly over
the huge hopper on the second door, used
for grinding rags.
The carpenters had it seems—carelessly
and culpably—failed to erect any barricade
around this hole, thus leaving it a death
! trap to any unfortunate who might happen
to pass that way.
During the afternoon a party of young
ladies employed in the establishment were
passing through the third story, milieu one
of their number, Miss Martha Breckin
heart, who was in the lead, suddenly dis
appeared through the hole.
No sooner did her companions discover
this than the horrible thought flashed upon
them that she had fallen into the huge jaws
of the ragohopper below. Indeed, they had
not much room I'm . doubt, for the nest in
stant the shrieks of the unfortunate girl
rang through the building, curdling the
Mood of all will, heard them.
The screams were heard throughout the
building, but none but the persons who
had witnessed the fall knew trout whence
they Vallee. Several of the girls, - knowing
that the only salvation for the girl was in
the stopping of the nuichincry, rout down
to the first story and had it stopped, but,
alas, too late, as the sequel proves.
As soon its the pondrous inaellinery

force of the establishment rushed to the
hopper to see Nyhat haul become of their

found to be nearly empty, but the shreds
of 1:11:1:11 stained rags gave painful evidenee
of the tragedy that haul just been enacted.
